A pH-dependent and charge selective covalent organic framework for removal of dyes from aqueous solutions. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 476:135075.

Abstract
A novel imine-linked COF is synthesized by the condensation of 2,4,6-tris(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TAPT) and 2-hydroxy-5-methoxyisophthalaldehyde (HMIPA) under solvothermal conditions. This COF adsorbs preferentially the neutral dye Neutral Red (NR) over the positively charged dye Methylene Blue (MB) at pH 7, and the negatively charged Methyl Orange (MO) over the positively charged Methylene Blue (MB) at pH 3. The maximum adsorption capacities (qe) obtained within very short times (11-60 min) under optimized conditions were 108, 185 and 429 mg.g-1 for the MB, MO, and NR dyes, respectively. These adsorptions obey the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics. The prepared TAPT-HMIPA-COF is used successfully for the removal of the dyes from real water and treated wastewater samples. The adsorption data, BET, FTIR, and zeta potential measurements show that the electrostatic, π-π stacking and hydrogen bond interactions are responsible for the adsorption of organic dyes on the surface of the prepared COF. Due to recyclability, high capacity and efficiency for the adsorption of positive, negative and neutral organic dyes, this COF can be considered promising for simultaneous removal of various dyes from aqueous solutions at adjusted pHs.

Abstract
With a rapid increase in industrial growth around the world, the demand for an entirely novel category of nanoparticles and technologies for wastewater treatment has become a key concern for environmental protection. Recently, hybrids of layered double hydroxides (LDH), particularly those containing LDH, have gained attention as potential nanoscale adsorbents for water treatment. Recent research has shown that LDH-containing composites are interesting versatile materials with the ability to be used in energy storage, photocatalysis, nanocomposites, and water treatment. In the current work, LDH-containing composites were utilized as adsorbents for the purpose of purifying water. The adsorbents investigated are Zn-Co-Fe/LDH/Chitosan-in situ sample preparation (LDH/CS1) and Zn-Co-Fe/LDH/Chitosan-ex situ sample preparation (LDH/CS2). Furthermore, LDH/CS1 and LDH/CS2 were investigated for wastewater treatment from methyl orange dye (MO) with various adsorption conditions. When the initial MO concentration was 20 mg/L and the amount of adsorbent was 0.1 g, the removal efficiency reached 72.8 and 91.7% for LDH/CS1 and LDH/CS2, respectively. The MO's maximum adsorption capabilities are 160.78 and 165.89 mg/g for LDH/CS1 and LDH/CS2, respectively, which is much greater than that of comparable commercial adsorbents. MO adsorption onto LDH/CS1 and LDH/CS2 was best characterized by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The equilibrium adsorption data was followed by the Freundlich and Langmuir models. The adsorption is favorable as evidenced by the equilibrium parameter RL values for MO adsorption onto LDH/CS1 and LDH/CS2, which were 0.227 and 0.144, respectively. Using the free volume distribution method and the positron annihilation lifetime technique, the nanostructure of the materials was examined.

Abstract
This research investigates the adsorption potential of chrysotile and lizardite, two minerals derived from chromite ore wastes, for the uptake of Methylene Blue (MB) dye from waste streams. The characterization of these minerals involves XRD, XRF, FTIR, and SEM. Results confirm the dominance of polymorphic magnesium silicate minerals, specifically chrysotile and lizardite, in the samples. The FTIR spectra reveal characteristic vibration bands confirming the presence of these minerals. The SEM analysis depicts irregular surfaces with broken and bent edges, suggesting favorable morphologies for adsorption. N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms indicate mesoporous structures with Type IV pores in both adsorbents. The Central Composite Design approach is employed to optimize MB adsorption conditions, revealing the significance of contact time, adsorbent mass, and initial MB concentration. The proposed models exhibit high significance, with F-values and low p-values indicating the importance of the studied factors. Experimental validation confirms the accuracy of the models, and the optimum conditions for MB adsorption are determined. The influence of solution acidity on MB uptake is investigated, showing a significant enhancement at higher pH values. Isothermal studies indicate Langmuir and Freundlich models as suitable descriptions for MB adsorption onto chrysotile and lizardite. The maximum adsorption capacities of MB for chrysotile and lizardite were found to be 352.97 and 254.85, respectively. Kinetic studies reveal that the pseudo-first-order model best describes the adsorption process. Thermodynamic analysis suggests an exothermic and spontaneous process. Statistical physics models further elucidate the monolayer nature of adsorption. Additionally, an artificial neural network is developed, exhibiting high predictive capability during training and testing stages. The reusability of chrysotile and lizardite is demonstrated through multiple regeneration cycles, maintaining substantial adsorption potential. Therefore, this research provides comprehensive insights into the adsorption characteristics of chrysotile and lizardite, emphasizing their potential as effiective and reusable sorbents for MB uptake from wastewater.

Abstract
To access the feasibility of microwave in promoting adsorbability of carbonaceous adsorbents, microwave irradiation on activated carbon (AC) was conducted at powers of 400-800 W and duration of 10 min. Accordingly, the temperature rising of AC under microwave field were studied. Moreover, the alterations in physicochemical properties of AC and impacts on cresol isomer adsorption were investigated. Results indicated that the heating curve of AC displays the initial fast temperature rising stage and the final slow stage. Additionally, the bulk temperature at irradiation terminal increases with microwave power. The temperature rising further increases the pores with a diameter range of 1.00-6.00 nm of AC; it also increases the oxygenic functional groups of AC after irradiation at 400 W and 800 W, but decreases that of AC after irradiation at 640 W. The saturation adsorption capacity of o-cresol and p-cresol on the irradiated AC rises with elevated temperature. Additionally, the cresol isomer adsorption kinetics on the irradiated AC follows the Elovich model. The above-mentioned equilibrium and kinetics suggest that the cresol isomer adsorption on the irradiated AC is dominant by chemisorption. Finally, the optimum irradiation power for o-cresol and p-cresol adsorption is 800 W and 400 W, respectively, thereby fabricating AC with developed pores and abundant oxygenic functional groups. Accordingly, the saturation adsorption capacity of o-cresol and p-cresol reaches up to 111.11 mg·g-1 and 95.97 mg·g-1, respectively. Overall, microwave irradiation is a viable option to promote cresol isomer adsorption on AC.

Abstract
Heavy metals significantly impact the environment due to their non-biodegradable, toxic, and carcinogenic behaviors. Lead contaminants impose severe health impacts on humans and the water environment. Therefore, eco-friendly and efficient lead ion removal practices such as nanotechnology are an urgent requirement for the abatement of lead pollution. In the present study, nanocellulose was synthesized from the cotton straw residue using chemical methods and modified with titanium dioxide to form a nanocomposite. The nanocomposite synthesized was characterized by using FTIR, XRD, FESEM, and BET. FTIR results noticed peaks at 1648.43 and 1443.57 cm-1 for cellulose and Ti-O-Ti bonding at 505.02 cm-1. The nanocomposite was noticed to be disordered and irregular in shape. The nanocomposite has particle sizes of 83 nm. The nanocomposite crystalline particle had 65% anatase and 32% rutile phases observed from the XRD result. BET results show that the surface area of nanocellulose increases after surface modification from 25.692 to 42.510 m2/g. The adsorption capacity of the nanocomposite was 0.552 mg/g was noticed. The Elovich kinetic and Baudu isotherms are the best-fitted models for lead ion adsorption. Thermodynamic parameters resulted in Gibbs free energy decreasing with temperature. This study revealed that modified cellulosic adsorbents efficiently absorbed lead ions derived from cotton straws.

Abstract
The misuse and overuse of chloramphenicol poses severe threats to food safety and human health. In this work, we developed a magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) pretreatment material coated with a multilayered metal-organic framework (MOF), Fe3O4 @ (ZIF-8)3, for the separation and enrichment of chloramphenicol from fish. Furthermore, we designed an artificial-intelligence-enhanced single microsphere immunosensor. The inherent ultra-high porosity of the MOF and the multilayer assembly strategy allowed for efficient chloramphenicol enrichment (4.51 mg/g within 20 min). Notably, Fe3O4 @ (ZIF-8)3 exhibits a 39.20% increase in adsorption capacity compared to Fe3O4 @ZIF-8. Leveraging the remarkable decoding abilities of artificial intelligence, we achieved the highly sensitive detection of chloramphenicol using a straightforward procedure without the need for specialized equipment, obtaining a notably low detection limit of 46.42 pM. Furthermore, the assay was successfully employed to detect chloramphenicol in fish samples with high accuracy. The developed immunosensor offers a robust point-of-care testing tool for safeguarding food safety and public health.

Abstract
Carbonized bacterial cellulose embedded with highly dispersed nano zero-valent iron (nZVI), denoted as nZVI@CBC, was prepared through one-step in situ carbothermal treatment of bacterial cellulose adsorbing iron(III) nitrate. The structure characteristics of nZVI@CBC and its performance in removing hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) were investigated. Results showed the formation of nZVI@CBC with a surface area of 409.61 m2/g at 800 °C, with nZVI particles of mean size 28.2 nm well distributed within the fibrous network of CBC. The stability of nZVI was enhanced by its carbon coating, despite some inevitable oxidation of exposed nZVI. Batch experiments demonstrated that nZVI@CBC exhibited superior removal efficiency compared to bare nZVI and CBC. Under optimal conditions, nZVI@CBC exhibited a high Cr(VI) adsorption capacity of up to 372.42 mg/g. Therefore, nZVI@CBC shows promise as an effective adsorbent for remediating Cr(VI) pollution in water.

Abstract
Clay colloids in the subsurface environment have a strong adsorption capacity for radionuclides, and the mobile colloids will carry the nuclides for migration, which would promote the movability of radionuclides in the groundwater environment and pose a threat to the ecosphere. The investigations of the adsorption/desorption behaviors of radionuclides in colloids and porous media are significant for the evaluation of the geological disposal of radioactive wastes. To illustrate the adsorption/desorption behaviors of 241Am(Ⅲ) in Na-montmorillonite colloid and/or quartz sand systems at different pH (5, 7 and 9), ionic strengths (0, 0.1 and 5 mM), colloid concentrations (300 and 900 mg/L), nuclide concentrations (500, 800, 1100 and 1400 Bq/mL) and grain sizes (40 and 60 mesh), a series of batch sorption-desorption experiments were conducted. Combining the analysis of the physical and chemical properties of Na-montmorillonite with the Freundlich model, the influencing mechanism of different controlling factors is discussed. The experimental results show that the adsorption/desorption behaviors of 241Am(Ⅲ) in Na-montmorillonite colloid and/or quartz sand strongly are influenced by the pH value and ionic strength of a solution, the colloid concentration as well as quartz sand grain size. The adsorption and desorption isotherms within all the experimental conditions could be well-fitted by the Freundlich model and the correlation coefficients (R2) are bigger than 0.9. With the increase in pH, the adsorption partition coefficient (Kd) at 241Am(Ⅲ)-Na-montmorillonite colloid two-phase system and 241Am(Ⅲ)-Na-montmorillonite colloid-quartz sand three-phase system presents a trend which increases firstly followed by decreasing, due to the changes in the morphology of Am with pH. The Kd of 241Am(Ⅲ) adsorption on montmorillonite colloid and quartz sand decreases with increasing in ionic strength, which is mainly attributed to the competitive adsorption, surface complexation and the reduction of surface zeta potential. Additionally, the Kd increases with increasing colloid concentrations because of the increase in adsorption sites. When the mean grain diameter changes from 0.45 to 0.3 mm, the adsorption variation trends of 241Am(Ⅲ) remain basically unchanged. The research results obtained in this work are meaningful and helpful in understanding the migration behaviors of radionuclides in the underground environment.

Abstract
Detection and quantification of various organic chemicals in the environment is critical to track their fate and control their levels. 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is a widely applied phenoxy herbicide with potential toxicity to fish and other aquatic organisms. In this study, we address the need for improved detection of 2,4-D by introducing a novel analytical method for its quantification. This method relies on the selective extraction of 2,4-D using MIPs and their subsequent direct analysis using ambient plasma mass spectrometry. During the synthesis, MIPs with various degrees of glycidol (GLY) functionalization were obtained. Experimental data showed that MIPs with no GLY functionalization displayed the highest adsorption capacity. Conversely, MIPs with 30% GLY functionalization exhibited the greatest selectivity for 2,4-D, rendering them valuable for extraction of 2,4-D even in the presence of other contaminants. Finally, the obtained MIPs were applied for quantification of 2,4-D in various water samples through direct analysis using a specially designed ambient plasma mass spectrometry setup. This approach improved the detection limits by 200-fold compared to pure solution analysis. The quantification of 2,4-D in river water samples yielded highly satisfactory recoveries, demonstrating the effective utility of the proposed analytical setup for real-life water sample analysis.

Abstract
Polyethylene terephthalate microplastics (PET-MPs) are one of pivotal nondegradable emerging pollutant. Here the variation of the surface physicochemical characteristics of PET-MPs with UV irradiation aging and the adsorption behaviors of PET-MPs in malachite green (MG), tetracycline (TC) solution and the effect of coexisting Cu(II) were comparatively investigated. The yellowing, weakened hydrophobicity, and increased surface negative charge, crystallinity degree and oxygen-containing functional groups were manifested specifically by the aged PET-MPs. Different from the single system, the hydrophobic interaction and metal ion bridging complexation dominated the adsorption of MG and TC, respectively, in the binary solution. While in the ternary solution, cationic ion competition of Cu(II) with MG decreased its capture, and the formation of PET-Cu(II)-TC ternary complexes promoted TC adsorption. Moreover, PET-MPs could serve as an efficient vector for MG and TC in MG/TC/Cu(II) ternary system, indicating PET-MPs tend to carry more varieties in the complex environment, that may increase the environmental risk of PET-MPs.

Abstract
In this study, cow dung biomass was converted into biochar (BC). BC900 was obtained through one-step pyrolysis at 900 °C, while BC700-900 and BC900-700 were obtained via two-step pyrolysis at temperature ranges of 700-900 °C and 900-700 °C, respectively. The primary objective was to investigate the adsorption performance and application value of BCs for tetracycline (TC) in water. The samples underwent characterization using scanning electron microscopy and mapping analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. Subsequently, the effects of reaction time, adsorbent dosage, temperature, pH, and ionic strength were analyzed. Based on the fitting results of adsorption kinetics, the pyrolytic BCs exhibited a better fit with the pseudo-secondary kinetic model. The adsorption isotherm indicated monolayer adsorption on the surface of the adsorbents, with maximum adsorption capacities of 158.93 mg/g for BC900-700, 150.15 mg/g for BC700-900, and 142.56 mg/g for BC900, respectively. Furthermore, results from simulated wastewater and regeneration experiments demonstrated that BC900-700 exhibited not only excellent adsorption performance in wastewater but also remarkable regeneration capabilities. The two-step pyrolysis BCs in this study displayed a higher adsorption capacity compared to the one-step pyrolysis BCs in practical applications. These findings provide insights for further exploring the adsorption mechanism and optimizing the process.

Abbasi S. Uncovering the intricate relationship between plant nutrients and microplastics in agroecosystems. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 346:140604. [PMID: 37926162 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
Recent scientific and media focus has increased on the impact of microplastics (MPs) on terrestrial and soil ecosystems. However, the interactions between MPs with macronutrients and micronutrients and their potential consequences for the agroecosystem are not well understood. Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a staple food grown globally and has special importance for nations economies. Different elements can cause dangerous outcomes for wheat quality and production yield. In this study, batch adsorption experiments were done using 1 g of polyethylene tetra phthalate MP particles (PET-MPs) in varying concentrations of thirteen elements. The adsorption data were fitted by two common adsorption models (Langmuir and Freundlich). The effect of pH on the speciation of elements in aqueous solutions was investigated. The non-invasive characterization methods indicate the importance of O- and H-containing groups as the main component of selected MPs in controlling the adsorption of the elements ions. In the current study, adsorption and potential transport of the adsorbed macronutrients (K and Na) and micronutrients (Ni, Co, Cu, Al, Ba, Se, Fe, As, B, V and Ag) which include some beneficial (Na, Se, V), and non-essential or toxic elements (Al, As, Ag, Ba) onto MPs to the simulated roots of wheat were evaluated. The maximum sorption capacities of K+> Ni+2> Na+ > Co2+> Cu2+>Al+3 >Ba+2 >Se4+>Fe2+ >As5+ >B3+ >V5+> Ag + on PET-MPs at pH 5.8 and 25 ± 1 °C were 290.6 > 0.52> 0.51 > 0.20> 0.10 > 0.051> 0.024 > 0.003> 0.003 > 0.0015> 5.05 × 10-4> 1.7 × 10-4>3.7 × 10-6 mg g-1, respectively. The results highlight the importance of PET-MPs in controlling element adsorption in the rhizosphere. Our observations provide a good start for understanding the adsorption of multiple elements from the soil rhizosphere zone by PET-MPs.

Abstract
The ability of a composite adsorbent composed primarily of various waste materials to adsorb heavy metals, NH3-N, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from landfill leachate was investigated through batch sorption experiments. The study determined the optimal contact time and adsorbent dosage for the removal of Pb, Zn, Cu, Fe, NH3-N, and COD to be 15, 90, 30, 180, 30, and 30 min, respectively. The corresponding optimum adsorbent dosages were determined to be 5, 30, 5, 15, 5, and 30 g, respectively. The composite adsorbent exhibited high removal efficiencies, achieving the following maximum values: 96.4% for Pb, 92.7% for Zn, 60.3% for Cu, 87.1% for Fe, 75.0% for NH3-N, and 67.5% for COD. Pb and Fe showed the best fit with a Langmuir isotherm model, with corresponding adsorption capacities of 0.0165 and 1.14 mg/g, respectively. For Zn, Cu, NH3-N, and COD, the equilibrium data demonstrated the best fit with an Elovich isotherm model, with adsorption capacities of 0.004, 0.005, 0.016, and 4.29 mg/g, respectively. The kinetic data followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. It presented a potential solution for the disposal of the waste from which it was derived.

[PMID: 37506897 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.165819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 07/08/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023]
Abstract
The disposal of high-level radioactive waste in deep geological repositories is a critical environmental issue. The presence of bentonite colloids generated in the engineering barrier can significantly impact the transport of radionuclides, but their effect on radionuclide sorption in granite remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the sorption characteristics of strontium (Sr) on granite as well as on the coexistence system of granite and colloids under various hydrogeochemical conditions, through batch experiments. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was employed to analyze the sorption forms of Sr on granite before and after sorption. Several hydrogeochemical factors were examined, including contact time, pH, ionic strength, coexisting ions, and bentonite and humic acid colloid concentration. Among these factors, the concentration of bentonite colloids exhibited a significant effect on Sr sorption. Within a specific range of colloid concentration, the sorption of Sr on the solid system increased linearly with the bentonite colloid concentration. pH and ionic strength were also found to play crucial roles in the sorption process. At low pH, Sr sorption primarily occurred through the outer sphere's surface complexation and Na+/H+ ion exchange. However, at high pH, inner sphere surface complexation dominated the process. As the ionic strength increased, electrostatic repulsion gradually increased, resulting in fewer binding sites for particle aggregation and Sr sorption on bentonite colloids. The results also indicate that with increasing pH, the predominant forms of Sr in the solution transitioned from SrHCO3+ and SrCl+ to SrCO3 and SrCl+. This was mainly due to the ion exchange of Ca2+/Mg2+ in plagioclase and biotite, forming SrCO3 precipitation. These findings provide valuable insights into the transport behavior of radionuclides in the subsurface environment of the repository and highlight the importance of considering bentonite colloids and other hydrogeochemical factors when assessing the environmental impact of high-level radioactive waste disposal.

Abstract
Pentacyclic triterpenes is a natural amphipathic product which possess a rigid backbone and several polar functional groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl and carboxyl groups. The amphipathic character makes it easy to realize self-assemble into complex nano structure and therefore attract extensive attention due to the simple synthetic processes and renewable raw materials. Hence, a novel Ursolic acid-based hydrogel was prepared successfully via a simple self-assembly of triterpenoid derivative in methanol by capture water molecule in air. The resulting hydrogel show a porous morphology and good elasticity including strong heat resistance. Based on the characteristic above, the hydrogel showed a good iodine adsorption capacity and can removal 75.0% of the iodine from cyclohexane solution and 66.3% from aqueous solution within 36 h. Data analysis indicate that all the iodine adsorption process are dominated by chemisorption and belongs to the multi-site adsorption on heterogenous surfaces. In addition, the obtained hydrogel also possesses a good recyclability which can maintain more than 82% of its capacity after 5 cycles. The simple preparation method and easily available raw materials endow it a great potential in future pollutant treatment.

Abstract
Water is one of the natural resource due balance if our planet and the life on it have to sustain and economic development to be expected in the future. The increase in population of the world and level of wealth of humans is expected to withdraw more freshwater. However, since water is already one of the limited resources, global per capital water available surely drops and water shortage happens. Pollution of ground and surface water by dissolved salts are increasing and exacerbating this water shortage situation. The sources of these dissolved salts (such as primary and secondary salinity-causing agents) are known to change the chemical constituent of water. Once contributing factors for water scarcity are identified, future man should work on it to overcome the challenge. This paper therefore began with global water resource information and indicated different levels of scarcity to give overall clues on the situation. Salinity description, its global status, causative factors and challenges were revised before possible recommendations were indicated as indispensable solution.

Abstract
Water pollution has jeopardized human health, and a safe supply of drinking water has been recognized as a worldwide issue. The increase in the accumulation of heavy metals in water from different sources has led to the search for efficient and environmentally friendly treatment methods and materials for their removal. Natural zeolites are promising materials for removing heavy metals from different sources contaminating the water. It is important to know the structure, chemistry, and performance of the removal of heavy metals from water, of the natural zeolites to design water treatment processes. This review focuses on critical analyses of the application of distinct natural zeolites for the adsorption of heavy metals from water, specifically, arsenic (As(III), As(V)), cadmium (Cd(II)), chromium (Cr(III), Cr(VI)), lead (Pb(II)), mercury(Hg(II)) and nickel (Ni(II)). The reported results of heavy-metal removal by natural zeolites are summarized, and the chemical modification of natural zeolites by acid/base/salt reagent, surfactants, and metallic reagents has been analyzed, compared, and described. Furthermore, the adsorption/desorption capacity, systems, operating parameters, isotherms, and kinetics for natural zeolites were described and compared. According to the analysis, clinoptilolite is the most applied natural zeolite to remove heavy metals. It is effective in removing As, Cd, Cr, Pb, Hg, and Ni. Additionally, an interesting fact is a variation between the natural zeolites from different geological origins regarding the sorption properties and capacities for heavy metals suggesting that natural zeolites from different regions of the world are unique.

Abstract
Pollution of the Arctic Ocean by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) is a current environmental problem. Humic acids (HAs) play an important role in the regulation of PTE mobility in soil and water. The permafrost thaw releases ancient organic matter (OM) with a specific molecular composition into the Arctic watersheds. This could affect the mobility of PTEs in the region. In our study, we isolated HAs from two types of permafrost deposits: the Yedoma ice complex, which contains pristine buried OM, and the alas formed in the course of multiple thaw-refreezing cycles with the most altered OM. We also used peat from the non-permafrost region as the recent environmental endmember for the evolution of Arctic OM. The HAs were characterized using 13C NMR and elemental analysis. Adsorption experiments were conducted to assess the affinity of HAs for binding Cu2+ and Ni2+. It was found that Yedoma HAs were enriched with aliphatic and N-containing structures as compared to the much more aromatic and oxidized alas and peat HAs. The adsorption experiments have revealed that the peat and alas HAs have a higher affinity for binding both ions as compared to the Yedoma HAs. The obtained data suggest that a substantial release of the OM from the Yedoma deposits due to a rapid thaw of the permafrost might increase the mobility of PTEs and their toxicity in the Arctic Ocean because of much lesser "neutralization potential".

Abstract
In this research work the thorium uptake on immobilized protonated orange peel was studied in a batch system. The effects of effective parameters such as biosorbent dosage, initial metal ion concentration, and contact time on the biosorption of thorium were analyzed. The biosorption capacity of the immobilized orange peel for thorium at optimal conditions of initial pH 3.8, biosorbent dosage 8 g/L, and initial thorium concentration 170 mg/L was found to be 18.65 mg/g. According to the results of contact time, the biosorption process reached equilibrium after around 10 h of contact. Investigation of the kinetics showed that the biosorption of thorium onto immobilized orange peel follows the pseudo-second-order model. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were used to model the experimental equilibrium data. The results showed better agreement by the Langmuir isotherm. The maximum absorption capacity of immobilized protonated orange peel for thorium adsorption was predicted by the Langmuir isotherm at 29.58 mg/g.

Abstract
Rapid quantification of environmental pollutants is important for water quality control and environmental monitoring. In this work, we report the development of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) obtained from poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic acid) polymer. The synthesized materials were used for selective preconcentration of 2,4-dichlorophenol, a priority pollutant which creates a threat to public health. The structure of poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic acid) was functionalized with 4-aminomethylpyridine (4-AMP) to incorporate pyridine groups presumably responsible for increased affinity towards 2,4-dichlorophenol. The synthesis was performed with different degree (10%, 20% and 30%) of 4-AMP functionalization to investigate the influence of pyridine group content on the final MIPs properties. The molecular imprinting process was conducted by amidation of polymers' anhydride groups with diethylenetriamine. Moreover, the experimental data indicated that maximum adsorption capacity was observed for the highest 4-AMP functionalization degree. Similarly, MIPs with the highest 4-AMP content proved to possess the highest selectivity towards the analyte. Finally, the functionalized MIPs were used to quantify 2,4-dichlorophenol by their direct introduction into a specially designed ambient mass spectrometry setup. The detection limits were improved significantly over the ones measured for pure analyte solution. The proposed analytical technique was used to quantify 2,4-dichlorophenol in river water and wastewater samples. Good recovery results were obtained, which proves that the method can be used for analysis of complex real-life samples.

Abstract
Rice straw derived biochar was fabricated and applied as a purification agent. The adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics for adsorbates were determined using the biochar. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms were best fitted by the pseudo-second order and Langmuir models. Biochar could effectively remove chlorophyll in 9 different solutions. Biochar was employed as a clean-up reagent for 149 pesticides detection, which revealed that biochar had a higher phytochrome removal capacity than graphitized carbon black and 123 pesticides had satisfactory recovery values. The biochar was prepared into a sample pad by electrospinning and was then used for online sample clean-up in a test strip, and it showed high ability of removing phytochrome and improving detection sensitivity. Thus, biochar could be applied as a purification agent to remove pigmentation, making it a promising candidate not only for sample pretreatment but also in the fields of food, agriculture and environment.

Low-cost biosorption of Fe(II) and Fe(III) from single and binary solutions using Ulva lactuca-derived cellulose nanocrystals-graphene oxide composite film. Sci Rep 2023; 13:6422. [PMID: 37076571 PMCID: PMC10115868 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-33386-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 04/21/2023] Open
Abstract
The marine algal biomass of Ulva lactuca was utilized for the extraction of cellulose and the development of cellulose nanocrystals/graphene oxide film. Cellulose nanocrystals with 50-150 nm were produced by H2SO4 hydrolysis of the algal cellulose. The adsorption efficiency of the nanocomposite film for Fe(II) and Fe(III) ions was successfully evaluated using Box-Behnken design. The maximum removal for Fe(II) (64.15%) could be attained at pH 5.13, adsorbent dosage 7.93 g L-1 and Fe(II) concentration 15.39 mg L-1, while the biosorption of Fe(III) was 69.92% at pH 5.0, adsorbent dosage 2 g L-1, and Fe(III) concentration 15.0 mg L-1. However, in the binary system, the removal efficiency of Fe(II) was enhanced to 95.48% at Fe(II):Fe(III) ratio of 1:1, while the Fe(III) removal was increased to 79.17% at ratio 1:2. The pseudo-second-order kinetics exhibited better fitting to the experimental results of Fe(II) and Fe(III) adsorption in both single and binary systems. The intra-particle diffusion was prominent during the biosorption, but the effect of the external mass transfer was significant. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Langmuir-Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms showed satisfactory fitting to the experimental data, but they differ in priority based on iron state and pH. The adsorption of Fe(II) in the presence of Fe(III) in a mixture was best represented by the extended Langmuir model, while the extended Langmuir-Freundlich model best fitted the adsorption of Fe(III). The FT-IR analysis indicated that physisorption through electrostatic interaction/complexation is the predominant mechanism for the adsorption of iron using the nanocomposite film.

Abstract
Removal of organic dyes from water by monolithic adsorbents is considered as an efficient and no-secondary pollution method. Herein, for the first time cordierite honeycomb ceramics (COR) treated with oxalic acid (CORA) were synthesized. This CORA exhibits outstanding removal efficiency toward the azo neutral red dyes (NR) from water. After optimizing the reaction conditions, the highest adsorption capacity of 7.35 mg·g-1 and a removal rate of 98.89% could be achieved within 300 min. Furthermore, investigation of the adsorption kinetics indicated this adsorption process could be described as a pseudo-second-order kinetic model with k 2 and q e of 0.0114 g·mg-1·min-1 and 6.94 mg·g-1, respectively. According to the fitting calculation, the adsorption isotherm could also be described as the Freundlich isotherm model. The removal efficiency could be maintained above 50% after 4 cycles, negating the need for toxic organic solvent extraction, offering a method for bringing the technology one step closer to industrial application and giving CORA promising potential in practical water treatment.

Abstract
Textile industries release effluent that contains the vast majority of heavy metals in which Cr (VI) is a toxic carcinogenic element that causes an environmental problem. The aim of the work is to synthesize algae-derived biochar derived from algae using slow pyrolysis at an operating temperature of 500 °C, a heating rate of 10 °C/min and a residence time of 60 min and to use it as an adsorbent to remove Cr (VI). The batch experiment was carried out using different concentrations of Cr (VI) (1, 10, 25, 50, 100, 125, 150 and 200 ppm) at different intervals of time (2.5, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 240 min). The maximum removal percentage of Cr (VI) is 97.88% for the metal concentration of 1 ppm exhibiting non-linear adsorption isotherm (Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and Temkin models) and kinetic models (pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, nth order, and intra-particle diffusion) were analyzed using a solver add-in of Microsoft Excel. According to the results, the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.999) and pseudo-nth order models are suitable to describe monolayer adsorption and the process kinetics, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity of algal biochar to adsorb is 186.94 mg/g. For the prediction of the optimal removal efficacy, an artificial neural network of the MLP-2-7-1 model was used. The results obtained are useful for future work using algal biochar as an adsorbent of Cr (VI) from textile wastewater to achieve sustainable development goals.

Abstract
Numerous studies have explored the adsorption of cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) by iron (Fe)-modified biochar, but few studies have examined in-depth the similarities and differences in the adsorption behavior of different iron types on Cd and As. In this study, sewage sludge biochar (BC) was co-pyrolyzed with self-made Fe minerals (magnetite, hematite, ferrihydrite, goethite, and schwertmannite) to treat Cd and As co-contaminated water. The adsorption of Cd and As on the Fe-modified biochar was further analyzed by adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms, and adsorption thermodynamics combined with a series of characterization experiments. Both SEM-EDX and XRD results confirmed the successful loading of iron minerals onto BC. Both adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms experiments showed that the adsorption of Cd and As by BC and the other five Fe-modified biochar was mainly controlled by chemical interactions. The results also indicated that goethite biochar (GtBC) was the most effective for the adsorption of Cd among the five Fe-modified biochar. Ferrihydrite biochar (FhBC) formed more diverse complexes, coupled with the relatively stronger electrons accepting ability, thus making it more effective for As adsorption than the others. Additionally, GtBC and hematite biochar (HmBC) were found effective for the adsorption of both Cd and As, whereas MBC was not found effective for either metal. Furthermore, combined with XPS results, the adsorption of Cd by the materials was mainly governed by Cd2+-π interactions, complexation precipitation, and co-precipitation, while oxidation reactions also existed for As.

Abstract
The name of Herbert Freundlich is commonly associated with a power relationship for adsorbed amount of a substance (Cads) against the concentration in solution (Csln), such that Cads = KCslnn; this isotherm (together with the Langmuir isotherm) is considered to be the model of choice for correlating the experimental adsorption data of micropollutants or contaminants of emerging concern (pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products), but it also concerns the adsorption of gases on solids. However, Freundlich's 1907 paper was a "sleeping beauty", which only started to attract significant citations from the early 2000s onward; moreover, these citations were too often wrong. In this paper, the main steps in the historical developments of Freundlich isotherm are identified, along with a discussion of several theoretical points: (1) derivation of the Freundlich isotherm from an exponential distribution of energies, leading to a more general equation, based on the Gauss hypergeometric function, of which the power Freundlich equation is an approximation; (2) application of this hypergeometric isotherm to the case of competitive adsorption, when the binding energies are perfectly correlated; and (3) new equations for estimating the Freundlich coefficient KF from physicochemical properties such as the sticking surface or probability. From new data treatment of two examples from the literature, the influence of several parameters is highlighted, and the application of linear free-energy relationships (LFER) to the Freundlich parameters for different series of compounds is evoked, along with its limitations. We also suggest some ideas that may be worth exploring in the future, such as extending the range of applications of the Freundlich isotherm by means of its hypergeometric version, extending the competitive adsorption isotherm in the case of partial correlation, and exploring the interest of the sticking surfaces or probabilities instead of KF for LFER analysis.

Abstract
CO2 sequestration into coalbed seams is one of the practical routes for mitigating CO2 emissions. The adsorption mechanisms of CO2 onto Malaysian coals, however, are not yet investigated. In this research CO2 adsorption isotherms were first performed on dry and wet Mukah-Balingian coal samples at temperatures ranging from 300 to 348 K and pressures up to 6 MPa using volumetric technique. The dry S1 coal showed the highest CO2 adsorption capacity of 1.3 mmol g-1, at 300 K and 6 MPa among the other coal samples. The experimental results of CO2 adsorption were investigated using adsorption isotherms, thermodynamics, and kinetic models. Nonlinear analysis has been employed to investigate the data of CO2 adsorption onto coal samples via three parameter isotherm equilibrium models, namely Redlich Peterson, Koble Corrigan, Toth, Sips, and Hill, and four parameter equilibrium model, namely Jensen Seaton. The results of adsorption isotherm suggested that the Jensen Seaton model described the experimental data well. Gibb's free energy change values are negative, suggesting that CO2 adsorption onto the coal occurred randomly. Enthalpy change values in the negative range established that CO2 adsorption onto coal is an exothermic mechanism. Webber's pore-diffusion model, in particular, demonstrated that pore-diffusion was the main controlling stage in CO2 adsorption onto coal matrix. The activation energy of the coals was calculated to be below -13 kJ mol-1, indicating that adsorption of CO2 onto coals occurred through physisorption. The results demonstrate that CO2 adsorption onto coal matrix is favorable, spontaneous, and the adsorbed CO2 molecules accumulate more onto coal matrix. The observations of this investigation have significant implications for a more accurate measurement of CO2 injection into Malaysian coalbed seams.

Abstract
The adsorption of As(V), Pb(II), Cd(II), and Cr(III) ions from aqueous solutions on natural and modified chabazite was studied. The functionalization of chabazite was performed via a protonation and calcination with the aim of generating Lewis acid sites to improve its anion exchange properties. The surface and physicochemical properties of both adsorbents were studied and compared. The adsorption isotherms of tested heavy metal ions were quantified and modeled to identify the best isotherm equation. Steric parameters for the adsorption of these ions were also calculated with a monolayer statistical physics model. Natural chabazite showed the maximum adsorption capacity for Pb(II), while the modified zeolite improved its As(V) properties in 79%. These results showed that the modified zeolite was able to remove both cations and anions from aqueous solution. The application of this functionalized chabazite can be extended for the removal of other anionic pollutants from water, thus opening the possibility of preparing new adsorbents with tailored properties for water treatment.

Abstract
In this research, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles synthesized using neem leaf (Azadirachta indica) extract were used as an adsorbent for removing two widely used pharmaceutical compounds acetaminophen (AMP) and sulfadiazine (SDZ). The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were characterized using SEM-EDS, FTIR, TEM, BET, and XRD analysis. The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were found to be in the size range of 10 nm with a surface area of 48.551 m2/g. The adsorptive performance of ZnO nanoparticles in both mono-component (MoS) and multi-component system (MuS) was investigated under various operational parameters viz. contact time, temperature, pH, concentration of pharmaceutical compound and ZnO nanoparticles dose. It was observed that the maximum adsorption capacity of ZnO nanoparticles was 7.87 mg/g and 7.77 mg/g for AMP and SDZ, respectively, under the optimum conditions of 7 pH and 2 g/L adsorbent dosage. The experimental data best-fitted with the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model, indicating monolayer chemisorption. Further investigation on removal of AMP and SDZ from multicomponent system was modelled using a Langmuir competitive model. The desorption study has shown 25.28% and 22.4% removal of AMP and SDZ from the surface of ZnO nanoparticles. In general, green synthesized ZnO nanoparticles can be utilized effectively as adsorbent for removal of pharmaceutically active compounds from wastewater.

Abstract
The ability of clinoptilolite zeolite as a filter in water wells to remove lead from polluted groundwater was tested in batch and fixed-bed column experiments. XRF, XRD, SEM, and BET were used to characterize the zeolite. Because of the pH variation in groundwater, batch experiments were performed at pH = 6, 7, and 8, with the highest removal efficiency (84.2%) at pH = 6 and 298 K within 90 min. The Freundlich model accurately predicted metal ion adsorption behavior and indicated a multilayer adsorption of Pb(II) molecules on the inhomogeneous surface of clinoptilolite. The best-fitting kinetic model for clinoptilolite is the pseudo-second order equation, highlighting that the rate of adsorption is dependent on absorbent capacity. Next, the effect of flow rate, bed depth, and grain size of clinoptilolite on lead removal was investigated in column experiments at an initial concentration of 450 mg pb/L. The highest removal efficiency was achieved in column experiments with a flow rate of 1 mL/min, a bed height of 10 cm, and a grain size of 0.6 to 0.8 mm. Breakthrough curves were predicted by the Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models, with excellent agreement with the corresponding experimental data. This research will be used to develop a new in situ remedial approach for removing lead from polluted groundwater.

Abstract
Drinking water contamination has become a worldwide problem due to the highly negative effects that pollutants can have on human organisms and the environment. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) has the appropriate properties for the immobilization of various pollutants, being considered amongst the most cost-effective materials for water decontamination. The main objective of this study was to use synthesized hydroxyapatite for the elimination of Sr2+ ions from contaminated solutions. The hydroxyapatite used in the decontamination process was synthesized in the laboratory using an adapted method. The hydroxyapatite powder (HAp) resulting from the synthesis was analyzed both before and after the elimination of Sr2+ ions from contaminated solutions. The efficiency of the HAp nanoparticles in removing Sr2+ ions from contaminated solution was determined by batch adsorption experiments. X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to study the HAp samples before and after the removal of Sr2+ ions. The ability of HAp nanoparticles to eliminate strontium ions from contaminated solutions was established. Moreover, the removal of Sr2+ ions from the contaminated aqueous solutions was highlighted by ultrasound measurements. The value of the stability parameter calculated by ultrasonic measurements after the removal of Sr2+ ions from the contaminated solution was similar to that of double distilled water whose stability was used as reference. The outcomes of the batch experiments and the parameters obtained from Langmuir and Freundlich models indicated that the HAp nanoparticles had a strong affinity for the elimination of Sr2+ ions from polluted solutions. These results emphasized that HAp nanoparticles could be excellent candidates in the development of new technologies for water remediation. More than that, the outcomes of the cytotoxic assays proved that HAp nanoparticles did not induce any noticeable harmful effects against HeLa cells and did not affect their proliferation after 1 day and 7 days of incubation.

Abstract
Activated biochar is a promising porous carbonaceous adsorbent material for organic pollutant removal, but it remains challenging to obtain high porosity and aromaticity through a simple and low-cost synthetic method. The common adsorption mechanisms of organic dyes on activated biochar should be further investigated in order to guide the synthesis of high-efficiency adsorbent materials. Here, we proposed a high-yield (up to 40 wt %) synthetic method of phosphoric acid-activated biochar from pomelo peel (PPC) with a high specific area of 877.3 m2/g through a facile thermal treatment at a relatively low temperature (250 °C). The specific activation mechanism of H3PO4 in the preparation of the adsorbent was investigated by a range of experiments and characterizations. The kinetic and isotherm experiments are also conducted to evaluate its dye adsorption behavior. According to the adsorption experiment results, PPC exhibits high saturated adsorption capacities for methyl orange (MO, 239.1 mg/g), rhodamine B (RhB, 2821.8 mg/g), methylene blue (MB, 580.5 mg/g), and crystal violate (CV, 396.6 mg/g) according to the Langmuir model. The maximum initial concentration of each dye solution for acquiring 90% removal efficiency is estimated to be 234.55 ppm (MO), 2943.8 ppm (RhB), 633.8 ppm (MB), and 423.6 ppm (CV) at 298 K with an adsorbent dosage of 1 g/L. The characterization results also indicate PPC has a complex synergetic mechanism for ionic dye adsorption behavior. This provides perspectives regarding PPC as a promising biochar adsorbent from biomass waste, which is probably useful for high-efficiency dye removal in water treatment.

Abstract
Here, thin-film microplastics (MPs) from black garbage bags were simulated aged by artificially ultraviolet radiation, and their sorption behavior toward antibiotics and bactericides in water and soil was explored. The chemical structure, surface functional groups, and the aged degree indicators of the identified polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs) were studied by FT-IR spectra. The decreased crystallinity and hydrophobicity of PE-MPs-16 demonstrated by XRD and contact angle measurements and enhanced carbonyl index (0.0105) were highly related to the enhanced sorption capacities, especially for crystal violet (18.10 mg/g) in water. Moreover, PE-MPs-16 mitigated the adsorption rate and had little influence on the sorption capacity in soil. The sorption data fitted well to Henry (water) or Freundlich (soil) isotherm model, indicating the hydrophobic partition was involved in the sorption. Our research helps to clarify the interaction between MPs and organic pollutants and better understand the fate of virgin and aged PE-MPs in the varied compartments.

Abstract
Removing toxic metal ions arising from contaminated wastewaters caused by industrial effluents with a cost-effective method tackles a serious concern worldwide. The adsorption process onto metal oxide and carbon-based materials offers one of the most efficient technologies adopted for metal ion removal. In this study, mesoporous MgO/g-C3N4 sorbent is fabricated by ultrasonication method for the uptake Pb (II) and Cd (II) heavy metal ions from an aqueous solution. The optimum conditions for maximum uptake: initial concentration of metal ions 250 mg g-1, pH = 5 and pH = 3 for Pb++ and Cd++, and a 60 mg dose of adsorbent. In less than 50 min, the equilibrium is reached with a good adsorption capacity of 114 and 90 mg g-1 corresponding to Pb++ and Cd++, respectively. Moreover, the adsorption isotherm models fit well with the Langmuir isotherm, while the kinetics model fitting study manifest a perfect fit with the pseudo-second order. The as fabricated mesoporous MgO/g-C3N4 sorbent exhibit excellent Pb++ and Cd++ ions uptake and can be utilized as a potential adsorbent in wastewater purification.

Abstract
Adsorption is a widely used technology for removing and separating heavy metal from water, attributed to its eco-friendly, cost-effective, and high efficiency. Adsorption isotherm modeling has been used for many years to predict the adsorption equilibrium mechanism, adsorption capacity, and the inherent characteristics of the adsorption process, all of which are substantial in evaluating the performance of adsorbents. This review summarizes the development history, fundamental characteristics, and mathematical derivations of various isotherm models, along with their applicable conditions and application scenarios in heavy metal adsorption. The latest progress in applying isotherm models with a one-parameter, two-parameter, and three-parameter in heavy metal adsorption using carbon-based materials, which has gained much attention in recent years as low-cost adsorbents, is critically reviewed and discussed. Several experimental factors affecting the adsorption equilibrium, such as solution pH, temperature, ionic strength, adsorbent dose, and initial heavy metal concentration, are briefly discussed. The criteria for selecting the optimum isotherm for heavy metal adsorption are proposed by comparing various adsorption models and analyzing mathematical error functions. Finally, the relative performance of different isotherm models for heavy metal adsorption is compared, and the future research gaps are identified.

Abstract
Valorizing solid waste for heavy metal adsorption is highly desirable to avoid global natural resources depletion. In this study, we developed a new protocol to valorize Radix Astragali residue (one of the Chinese medicine residues) into a low-cost, chemically robust, and highly permeable (ca. 90%) amino-laced porous double-network hydrogel (NH2-CNFs/PAA) for efficient Pb(II) adsorption. The NH2-CNFs/PAA showed (i) excellent Pb(II) adsorption capacity (i.e., 994.5 mg g-1, ~4.8 mmol g-1), (ii) fast adsorption kinetics (kf = 2.01 ×10-5 m s-1), (iii) broad working pH range (2.0-6.0), and (iv) excellent regeneration capability (~15 cycles). (v) excellent performance in various real water matrices on Pb(II) removal. Moreover, its high selectivity (distribution coefficient Kd ~2.4 ×106 mL g-1) toward Pb(II) was owing to the present of abundant amino groups (-NH2). Furthermore, the fix-bed column test indicated the NH2-CNFs/PAA can effectively remove 114.6 bed volumes (influent concentration ~5000 μg L-1) with an enrichment factor 10.9. The full-scale system modeling (i.e., pore surface diffusion model (PSDM)) has been applied to predict the NH2-CNFs/PAA performance on Pb(II) removal. Overall, we have provided an alternative "win-win" scenario that can resolve the Chinese medicine residues disposal issue by valorizing it into high performance gel-based adsorbents for efficient heavy metal removal.

Abstract
In this work, we report the synthesis of a biobased hydrogel comprised of collagen, chitosan, and polyurethane for the removal of textile dyes. The adsorption capacity of this hydrogel was improved by adding a magnesium metal-organic framework to the semi-interpenetrating polymer matrix yielding a composite hydrogel. Removal of Bismarck Brown and Congo red was studied, and the experimental results fit Freundlich's model. Both hydrogel formulations were tested for the removal of textiles dyes from wastewaters. The magnesium-metal organic framework improved the efficiency of the biobased hydrogel for the removal of direct and mordant dyes reaching up to 89 ± 2%. The composite hydrogel was tested for the removal of Congo Red in a fixed bed column observing the breakthrough point after 168 min. Also, a flocculant material was prepared from collagen and chitosan and was tested for the removal of direct red dye from wastewater removing up to 80 ± 1%. The pretreated wastewater by coagulation-flocculation was treated by adsorption yielding a global removal efficiency of 99%. Finally, the studied hydrogels are potentially biodegradable being completely degraded by the proteolytic action after 22 days. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Composite hydrogels of collagen, chitosan, and MgMOF74 removed efficiently textile dyes from wastewater in batch systems and fixed bed columns. A biobased flocculant of collagen and chitosan significantly improved water quality after coagulation flocculation. Hydrogels were reusable for four cycles, and they can be proteolytically degraded after 22 days.

Abstract
Achieving advanced treatment of phosphorus (P) to prevent water eutrophication and meet increasingly stringent wastewater discharge standard is an important goal of water management. In this study, a low-cost, high-efficiency phosphate adsorbent zirconium-modified biochar (ZrBC) was successfully synthesized through co-precipitation method, in which the biochar was prepared from the pyrolysis of peanut shell powder. ZrBC exhibited strong adsorption ability to low-concentration phosphate (< 1 mg·L-1) in water, and the phosphate removal reached 100% at the investigated dosage range (0.1-1.0 mg·L-1). The adsorption process could be described well by pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm model, indicating that the phosphate adsorption by ZrBC was mainly a chemical adsorption and single-layer adsorption process. The calculated static maximum phosphate adsorption capacity was 58.93 mg·g-1 at 25 °C. The ligand exchange between surface hydroxyl groups and phosphate was the main mechanism for the phosphate adsorption on ZrBC. The presence of coexisting anions except for SO42- had little effect on the phosphate removal. At the column experiment, ZrBC showed superior treatment capacities for simulated secondary effluents and the breakthrough time for 0.5 mg·L-1 effluent phosphate concentration reached 190 h. ZrBC highlights the potential as an effective and environment-friendly adsorbent for the removal of low-concentration phosphate from secondary effluents of municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).

Abstract
Gelatin-stabilized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with a particle size of 6.9 (±3.2) nm were synthesized and employed in nanoparticle adsorption onto activated carbon (AC). Subsequently, the synthesized AgNPs and the adsorbed nanoparticles onto the AC (AgNP@AC) were characterized by various techniques including UV–Vis spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT–IR) and X–ray diffraction (XRD). AgNPs possessed colloidal stability at a wide pH interval ranging between 4 and 13. Adsorption was studied batch-wise as a function of initial nanoparticle concentration (4–14 mg L-1), temperature (298–323 K), pH (4–13) and adsorbent dosage (0.01–0.05 g). Adsorption isotherms were investigated by fitting the data to different isotherm models including Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R). Error analysis indicated that the adsorption is well described by the Langmuir model with a monolayer adsorption capacity of 10.36 mg g-1 for 0.05 g AC at pH 7 and 323 K. Thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy (66.77 kJ mol-1), entropy (232.92 J mol-1 K-1), and Gibbs free energy (–8.31 kJ mol-1) indicated that the process is endothermic, favorable and spontaneous through physical interactions.

Abstract
Most drinking water treatment residuals (DWTRs) with rich metal resources are landfilled directly without treatment, which results in wasted Al/Fe resources. This work proposes a new method of preparing Mg-Al-Fe Hydrotalcite-like compounds (MAF-HTCLs) by recycling DWTRs as the raw material to selectively adsorb anions in the waste water. In this study, MAF-HTCLs were prepared by the coprecipitation method with recycled DWTRs. The characterizations and adsorption of MAF-HTCLs were studied for the selective adsorption of P, Cr, F, and Br. The adsorption capacity was increasing as the value of pH decreased. For kinetic adsorption, the pseudo-second-order model fit better, and two isotherm models (the Langmuir and Freundlich models) described the isotherm results well. According to the Langmuir model, the maximum adsorption capacities of P, Cr, F, and Br were 55.2, 34.9, 16.84, and 13.9 mg/g, respectively. Based on the results of characterizations before and after adsorption, adsorption mechanisms of Cr, F, and Br were proposed, including physicochemical adsorption, surface complexation, and ion exchange, in which ion exchange was dominant. Finally, we determined that the selective adsorption mechanisms of P on MAF-HTCLs included strong ion exchange and surface chemical precipitation by analyzing the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The presence of drugs on a large scale in aquatic matrices raises concern and requires the study of efficient technologies to remove these compounds. This study investigated the adsorption capacity of the natural zeolite clinoptilolite (CP) in removing the drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). Zeolite was characterized by BET, XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and pHpzc techniques. The kinetic model that best fits the experimental data was the pseudo-first-order and the SIPS isotherm provided the best fit. The Langmuir isotherm RL separation factor (> 0.01) indicated that the adsorption process was favorable and the Freundlich isotherm (n > 1) suggested that the adsorption mechanism occurred mainly by physisorption, with intraparticle diffusion as the step limiting the process. The process was spontaneous (ΔG°ads < 0), endothermic (ΔH°ads > 0), and with increased randomness at the solid-solution interface (ΔS°ads > 0). The initial pH variation of the effluent was not favorable for the adsorption process and the zeolite was easily regenerated for later use. The ecotoxicological tests with Artemia salina and Lactuca Sativa proved that the final effluent did not show toxicity after the adsorption treatment. Based on the results obtained in this work, clinoptilolite zeolite is a potential adsorbent for reducing HCQ toxicity in aquatic matrices.

Potential of nanocomposites of zero valent copper and magnetite with Eleocharis dulcis biochar for packed column and batch scale removal of Congo red dye. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 305:119291.

Abstract
The current study is the first attempt to prepare nanocomposites of Eleocharis dulcis biochar (EDB) with nano zero-valent Copper (nZVCu/EDB) and magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs/EDB) for batch and column scale sequestration of Congo Red dye (CR) from synthetic and natural water. The adsorbents were characterized with advanced analytical techniques. The impact of EDB, MNPs/EDB and nZVCu/EDB dosage (1-4 g/L), pH (4-10), initial concentration of CR (20-500 mg/L), interaction time (180 min) and material type to remove CR from water was examined at ambient temperature. The CR removal followed sequence of nZVCu/EDB > MNPs/EDB > EDB (84.9-98% > 77-95% > 69.5-93%) at dosage 2 g/L when CR concentration was increased from 20 to 500 mg/L. The MNPs/EDB and nZVCu/EDB showed 10.9% and 20.1% higher CR removal than EDB. The adsorption capacity of nZVCu/EDB, MNPs/EDB and EDB was 212, 193 and 174 mg/g, respectively. Freundlich model proved more suitable for sorption experiments while pseudo 2nd order kinetic model well explained the adsorption kinetics. Fixed bed column scale results revealed excellent retention of CR (99%) even at 500 mg/L till 2 h when packed column was filled with 3.0 g nZVCu/EDB, MNPs/EDB and EDB. These results revealed that nanocomposites with biochar can be applied efficiently for the decontamination of CR contaminated water.
