Abstract
The effects of calcium-to-silicon ratio on the properties of fly ash (FA)-based tobermorite and its removal performance of Zn2+ and Mn2+ were studied. The calcium-to-silicon ratio had a significant effect on the structural properties of the tobermorite samples. The specific surface area, pore volume, and average pore size of mesoporous tobermorite samples with different calcium-to-silicon ratios (0.8TOB, 1.2TOB, and 1.6TOB) were much larger than those of FA, and those of 1.2TOB were the largest, which were 53.29 m2/g, 0.448 cm3/g, and 30.50 nm, respectively. The removal efficiencies of Zn2+ and Mn2+ by 1.2TOB were 84.19% and 47.67%, respectively, which were much higher than those of 0.8TOB (60.62% and 42.41%), 1.6TOB (46.69% and 24.31%), and FA (4.13% and 6.95%). The adsorption of Zn2+ and Mn2+ by 0.8TOB, 1.2TOB, and 1.6TOB was corresponding to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. Particularly, 1.2 TOB showed the highest maximum adsorption capacities of Zn2+ and Mn2+ calculated from the Langmuir model, which were 129.70 mg/g and 82.09 mg/g, respectively. Moreover, the adsorption mechanisms might be due to the combination with -OH and the interlayer adsorption of the samples. This research provides new insight into the fly ash-based adsorbents towards Zn2+ and Mn2+ in wastewater.

Abstract
Aiming at the acid mine drainage (AMD) in zinc, copper and other heavy metals treatment difficulties, severe pollution of soil and water environment and other problems. Through the ultrasonic precipitation method, this study prepared fly ash-loaded nano-FeS composites (nFeS-F). The effects of nFeS-F dosage, pH, stirring rate, reaction time and initial concentration of the solution on the adsorption of Zn(II) and Cu(II) were investigated. The data were fitted by Lagergren first and second-order kinetic equations, Internal diffusion equation, Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, and combined with SEM, TEM, FTIR, TGA, and XPS assays to reveal the mechanism of nFeS-F adsorption of Zn(II) and Cu(II). The results demonstrated that: The removal of Zn(II) and Cu(II) by nFeS-F could reach 83.36% and 70.40%, respectively (The dosage was 8 g/L, pH was 4, time was 150 min, and concentration was 100 mg/L). The adsorption process, mainly chemical adsorption, conforms to the Lagergren second-order kinetic equation (R2 = 0.9952 and 0.9932). The adsorption isotherms have a higher fitting degree with the Langmuir model (R2 = 0.9964 and 0.9966), and the adsorption is a monolayer adsorption process. This study can provide a reference for treating heavy metals in acid mine drainage and resource utilization of fly ash.

Adsorption potential of orange rind-based nanosorbents for the removal of cadmium(II) and chromium(VI) from contaminated water.

Abstract
Heavy metals (HMs) in water are highly poisonous and carcinogenic agents for human health. To alleviate the toxic impacts of HMs, green remediation technologies are the need of the hour. In this regard, different nanosorbents (CMCG@ORP, ORAC, NiO/NPs, and NiO@ORAC/NCs) were synthesized in the present study, and the percentage removal of heavy metals [chromium(VI) and cadmium(II) ions] was evaluated. The nanosorbents were characterized by using FTIR, SEM, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and XRD. UV-Vis spectroscopy confirmed the synthesis of nanosorbents such as NiO/NPs and NiO@ORAC/NCs at 330.5 nm and 352.55 nm, respectively. The characterization studies show that the surface of synthesized nano-sorbents was highly coarse, uneven, and abrasive. XRD pattern deduced that the sample was of single phase, and no other impurity was detected except the face-centered cubic-phase peak of NiO. The maximum adsorption of Cd (91%) and Cr (92%) was found at initial concentrations of 100 and 60 ppm respectively at contact time = 180 min, temperature 25 °C, and with an adsorbent dose of 0.5 g. Isothermal, kinetic, and thermodynamic studies were also performed to evaluate the adsorption mechanisms and feasibility of the process. Adsorption mostly followed Freundlich isotherm which indicates the multilayer adsorption phenomenon and the negative value of Gibb's free energy showed the spontaneous nature and feasibility of the adsorption reaction. Surface complexation, ion exchange, surface precipitation, and the phenomenon of physical adsorption occurred on the sorbent surface which led to the attachment of Cd and Cr to the tested nanosorbents. In conclusion, NiO@ORAC/NCs were the most effective in the alleviation of Cd(II) and Cr(VI) ions in contaminated water.

Abstract
Industrial solid waste has a wide range of impacts, and it is directly or indirectly related to land, atmosphere, water, and other resources. Industrial solid waste has a large amount of production, complex and diverse components and contains a variety of harmful substances. However, as industrial by-products, it also has a lot of available value. Industrial solid waste has been continuously studied in water treatment due to its special composition and porous and loose structure. It is known that there are few reviews of various industrial solid wastes in the field of wastewater treatment, and most of them only discuss single industrial solid waste. This paper aims to sort out the different studies on various solid wastes such as fly ash, red mud, wastewater sludge, blast furnace slag and steel slag in dyeing, heavy metal, and phosphorus-containing wastewater. Based on the modification of industrial solid waste and the preparation of composite materials, adsorbents, coagulants, catalysts, filtration membranes, geological polymers, and other materials with high adsorption properties for pollutants in wastewater were formed; the prospect and development of these materials in the field of wastewater were discussed, which provides some ideas for the mutual balance of environment and society. Meanwhile, some limitations of solid waste applications for wastewater treatment have been put forward, such as a lack of further researches about environment-friendly modification methods, application costs, the heavy metal leaching, and toxicity assessment of industrial solid waste.

Innovative Low-Cost Composite Nanoadsorbents Based on Eggshell Waste for Nickel Removal from Aqueous Media. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:2572.

Abstract
In a contemporary sustainable economy, innovation is a prerequisite to recycling waste into new efficient materials designed to minimize pollution and conserve non-renewable natural resources. Using an innovative approach to remediating metal-polluted water, in this study, eggshell waste was used to prepare two new low-cost nanoadsorbents for the retrieval of nickel from aqueous solutions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results show that in the first eggshell-zeolite (EZ) adsorbent, the zeolite nanoparticles were loaded in the eggshell pores. The preparation for the second (iron(III) oxide-hydroxide)-eggshell-zeolite (FEZ) nanoadsorbent led to double functionalization of the eggshell base with the zeolite nanoparticles, upon simultaneous loading of the pores of the eggshell and zeolite surface with FeOOH particles. Structural modification of the eggshell led to a significant increase in the specific surface, as confirmed using BET analysis. These features enabled the composite EZ and FEZ to remove nickel from aqueous solutions with high performance and adsorption capacities of 321.1 mg/g and 287.9 mg/g, respectively. The results indicate that nickel adsorption on EZ and FEZ is a multimolecular layer, spontaneous, and endothermic process. Concomitantly, the desorption results reflect the high reusability of these two nanomaterials, collectively suggesting the use of waste in the design of new, low-cost, and highly efficient composite nanoadsorbents for environmental bioremediation.

Abstract
Hydraulic liners are used to restrict hazardous leachates such as acid mine drainage (AMD) from entering the hydrogeological system. In this study, we hypothesized that: (1) a compacted mix ratio of natural clay and coal fly ash with a hydraulic conductivity of at most 1 × 10- 8 ms- 1 can be achieved, and (2) mixing clay and coal fly ash in the right proportion can result in increased contaminant removal efficiency of a liner system. The effects of adding coal fly ash to clay on the mechanical behavior, contaminant removal efficiency, and saturated hydraulic conductivity of the liner were investigated. All clay:coal fly ash specimen liners with less than 30% coal fly ash had significantly (p < 0.05) lower cohesion stress values, and were discarded without further tests. Saturated hydraulic conductivity values showed no significant effect (p > 0.05) on the results of clay:coal fly ash (7:3) specimen liners and compacted clay liner. The clay:coal fly ash mix ratios of 8:2 and 7:3 significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the leachate concentration of Cu, Ni, and Mn. The pH of AMD increased from an average of 2.14 to 6.80 after permeating through a compacted specimen of mix ratio 7:3. Overall, the 7:3 clay to coal fly ash liner showed superior pollutant removal capacity and its mechanical and hydraulic properties were comparable to compacted clay liners. This laboratory scale investigation emphasizes potential limitations with column scale evaluation of liners and provides new information on the application of dual hydraulic reactive liners for engineered hazardous waste disposal systems.

Abstract
The paper deals with checking the possibility of using fly ash (FA) as a sorbent in the batch adsorption method of removing radionuclides from aqueous solutions. An adsorption-membrane filtration (AMF) hybrid process with a polyether sulfone ultrafiltration membrane with a pore size of 0.22 μm was also tested as an alternative to the commonly used column-mode technology. In the AMF method, metal ions are bound by the water-insoluble species prior to the membrane filtration of the purified water. Thanks to the easy separation of the metal-loaded sorbent, it is possible to improve water purification parameters using compact installations and reduce operating costs. This work evaluated the influence of such parameters on cationic radionuclide removal efficiency (EM): initial pH and composition of the solution, contact time of the phases, and the FA doses. A method for removing radionuclides, ordinarily present in an anionic form (e.g., TcO4-), from water, has also been presented. The results show, that both batch adsorption of radionuclides and adsorption-membrane filtration (AMF) using the FA as an adsorbent can be effectively used for water purification and in the form of a solid directed to long-term storage.

Abstract
The effective and cheap remediation of ammonia (NH+4) and multiple heavy metals from landfill leachate is currently a grand challenge. In this study, Paracoccus denitrificans AC-3, a bacterial strain capable of heterotrophic nitrification aerobic denitrification (HNAD) and carbonate precipitation, exhibited good tolerance to a variety of heavy metals and could remove 99.70% of NH+4, 99.89% of zinc (Zn2+), 97.42% of cadmium (Cd2+) and 46.19% of nickel (Ni2+) simultaneously after 24 h of incubation. The conversion pathway of NH+4 by strain AC-3 was dominated by assimilation (84.68%), followed by HNAD (14.93%), and the increase in environmental pH was mainly dependent on assimilation rather than HNAD. Calcium (Ca2+) primarily played four roles in heavy metal mineralization: (ⅰ) improving bacterial tolerance to heavy metals; (ⅱ) ensuring the HNAD capacity of strain AC-3; (ⅲ) co-precipitating with heavy metals; and (ⅳ) precipitating into calcite to adsorb heavy metals. The heavy metals removal mechanisms were mainly calcite adsorption and formation of carbonate and hydroxide precipitation for Zn2+, co-precipitation for Cd2+, and adsorption for Ni2+. The Zn2+, Cd2+, and Ni2+ precipitates displayed unique morphologies. This research provided a promising biological resource for the simultaneous remediation of NH+4 and heavy metals from landfill leachate.

Commercially available QPPO/PVA based anion exchange membrane (AEM) BIII was to inquire the percentage discharge of anionic dye Eosin-B (EB) at terrain temperature from wastewater. The impact of EB initial concentration, membrane dosage, ionic strength, contact time and temperature on EB percentage removal was contemplated. The EB percentage removal was increased from 22 to 99.56% and 38.15-99.56% with contact time and membrane dosage respectively while decreased from 99.56 to 29%, 99.56 to 54.61% and 99.56 to 92.22% with enhancing initial concentration of EB, ionic strength and temperature respectively. Nonlinear isotherm models were utilized to demonstrate EB adsorption onto AEM BIII. Attained results exhibited that nonliner Freundlich isotherm model best fitted to EB adsorption onto AEM BIII. For EB adsorption onto AEM BIII, adsorption kinetics were inquired in detail by using several kinetic models but EB adsorption nicely fitted to pseudo-second-order kinetics. Similarly thermodynamic analysis was performed and results pointed to an exothermic adsorption of EB onto AEM BIII. The membrane could be reused for four concecutive cycles with loosing its efficiency.

Distribution, chemical fractionation, and potential environmental risks of Hg, Cr, Cd, Pb, and As in wastes from ultra-low emission coal-fired industrial boilers in China. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 446:130606.

Abstract
This study conducted a comprehensive investigation of the distribution, chemical fractionation, and potential environmental risks of Hg, Cd, Cr, Pb, and As in waste based on new data from five ultra-low emission (ULE) coal-fired industrial boilers (CFIBs). The results showed that fly ash was enriched with Cd, Pb, As, and Hg, while its Cr contents were not invariably higher than those of slag. Fly ash was the predominant output flow for Hg, Cd, Cr, Pb, and As in the tested ULE boilers, with higher proportions of HTEs in the fly ash and lower proportions of HTEs in the flue gas than in the non-ULE boilers. The average proportions of residual Hg, Cd, Cr, Pb, and As in wastes revealed the following order: slag > fly ash > flue gas desulfurization (FGD) by-products. The potential environmental risks of Hg, Cd, Cr, Pb, and As in the fly ash, slag, and FGD by-products of CFIBs at the county level in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Air Pollution Transmission Channel Cities ("2 +26 cities") region showed spatial heterogeneity. It is predicted that the potential release of Pb, Cr, and Cd in the fly ash would increase and that of the FGD by-products would decrease after the implementation of the ULE retrofitting of all CFIBs.

Abstract
1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(triflouromethylsufonyl)imide functionalization to Na-X zeolite (IFZ) is the primary goal of this study in order to evaluate its ability to remove heavy metals (Cd2+), (Zn2+), dyes Rhodamine 6G (R6), and Alizarin Red S (AR) from aqueous streams. IFZ was thoroughly examined using analytical techniques XRD, BET, FE-SEM, and FTIR, to better understand its physical and chemical properties. The surface area and the volume of pores (IFZ; 19.93 m2/g, 0.0544 cm3/g) were reduced in comparison to the parent zeolite (Na-X; 63.92 m2/g, 0.0884 cm3/g). According to SEM, the crystal structure of the zeolite (Na-X) has not been significantly altered by XRD analysis. The mechanism, kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamic properties of adsorption were all studied using batch adsorption experiments under various operating conditions. IFZ adsorbs dyes (AR; 76.33 mg/g, R6; 65.85 mg/g) better than metal ions (Cd2+; 30.68 mg/g, Zn2+; 41.53 mg/g) in acidic conditions. The Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order models were found to be the most accurate models for equilibrium data. Adsorption is endothermic and spontaneous, as revealed by the thermodynamics of the process. The IFZ can be used in three (Cd2+), two (Zn2+), four (AR), and five (R6) cycles of desorption and regeneration. For these reasons, IL-modified zeolite can be used to remove multiple types of pollutants from water in one simple step.

Abstract
Water contaminated with heavy metal ions is extremely poisonous and threatens living organisms. Therefore, scientists place a premium on removing heavy metal ions from water that has already been contaminated. Removing metal ions from water typically involves the use of nanomaterials. Chitosan was made by extracting it from shrimp shells and combining it with a 3 : 1 ratio of synthetically produced AgNPs/GO. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction were used to investigate an AgNPs/GO/chitosan nanocomposite (XRD). A number of studies must be run to determine the optimal pH, adsorbent quantity, retention period, stirring speed, temperature, and initial concentration. The studies were conducted in a variety of ways. The isotherms of Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich were utilized. The industrial wastewater was used in the column adsorption experiment, and the flow rates and column bed heights were varied. An optimum contact time, pH, and adsorbent dosage for Mn(ii) were determined. At 30 minutes, pH 6, and 0.05 grams of Mn(ii) adsorbent per 100 ml, with agitation at 250 rpm, room temperature of 30 °C, and an initial concentration of 40 ppm, the best conditions were discovered. A positive correlation coefficient finding (R 2 = 0.925) indicates a good fit for Mn, according to equilibrium studies (II). The pseudo-second-order active model was connected to data that suited the pseudo-first and pseudo-second-order models. In the intra-particle diffusion model, the mechanism must proceed through four phases before equilibrium is reached. In an industrial adsorbent column, the adsorbent was put to the test. The periodicity test demonstrates that the nanocomposite's adsorption capability can be recovered by washing it with 0.1 M HCl. Mn(ii) adsorbed on AgNPs/GO/Chitosan after four cycles was only 20%, insufficient for additional adsorption tests. The repeated cycles that led to the partial loss of the adsorbate may have reduced the adsorbent material's efficacy.

Abstract
Various agents, including ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, oxalic acid, citric acid, and HCl, were applied to remove heavy metals from raw paper incineration ash and render the ash recyclable. Among these prepared agent solutions, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid showed the highest efficiency for Pb removal, while oxalic acid showed the highest efficiencies for Cu, Cd, and As removal. Additionally, three modes of an advanced removal method, which involved the use of both ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and oxalic acid, were considered for use at the end of the rendering process. Among these three modes of the advanced removal method, that which involved the simultaneous use of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and oxalic acid, i.e., a mixture of both solutions, showed the best heavy metal removal efficiencies. In detail, 11.9% of Cd, 10% of Hg, 28.42% of As, 31.29% of Cu, and 49.19% of Pb were removed when this method was used. Furthermore, the application of these three modes of the advanced removal method resulted in a decrease in the amounts of heavy metals eluted and brought about an increase in the CaO content of the treated incineration ash, while decreasing its Cl content. These combined results enhanced the solidification effect of the treated incineration ash. Thus, it was confirmed that the advanced removal method is a promising strategy by which recyclable paper incineration ash can be obtained.

Abstract
Sustainable waste and water management are key components of the newest EU policy regarding the circular economy. Simple, performant and inexpensive water treatment methods based on reusing waste are prerequisites for human health, sustainable development and environmental remediation. The design of performant, cost-effective absorbents represents a topical issue in wastewater treatment. This study aimed to investigate the development of a newly engineered adsorbent by functionalizing two different types of waste (industrial and food) with magnetic nanoparticles as environmentally friendly, highly efficient, cheap material for cadmium removal from aqueous solutions. This nano-engineered adsorbent (EFM) derived from waste eggshell and fly ash was used to remove the cadmium from the aqueous solution. SEM analysis has demonstrated that magnetite nanoparticles were successfully loaded with each waste. In addition, was obtained a double functionalization of the eggshell particles with ash and magnetite particles. As a result of this, the EFM surface area substantially increased, as confirmed by BET. A comprehensive characterization (BET, FT-IR, SEM, XRD and TGA) was performed to study the properties of this newly engineered adsorbent. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of different reaction parameters: temperature, pH, contact time, dosage adsorbent, initial concentration. Results showed that cadmium adsorption reached equilibrium in 120 min., at pH 6.5, for 0.25 g of adsorbent. The maximum efficiency was 99.9%. The adsorption isotherms research displayed that the Cd2+ adsorption fitted on the Freundlich model indicated a multi-molecular layer adsorption process. In addition, the thermodynamic study (ΔG < 0, ΔH > 0; ΔS > 0) shows that cadmium adsorption is a spontaneous and endothermic process. The adsorbent kinetic study was described with the pseudo-second-order model indicating a chemisorption mechanism. Desorption results showed that the nano-engineered adsorbent (EFM) can be reused. These data confirmed the possibility to enrich relevant theoretical knowledge in the field of waste recovery for obtaining newly designed adsorbents, performant and inexpensive for wastewater remediation.

Abstract
As an eco-friendly and efficient adsorbent for removal of potential toxic metals from aqueous solution, biochar has received widespread attention. In the present study, wheat straw biochar (BC) and corresponding modified biochar (HNC) were used to remove Cu2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ from an aqueous solution. The influence of the environment factors on metals adsorption and adsorption mechanism were discussed in detail. The results showed that the HNC had porous structures and owned ample functional groups (-OH, -COOH and C-N groups) compared with the BC. In the single system, the adsorption capacities of HNC for Cu2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ at a pH of 5.5 were 18.36, 22.83 and 49.38 mg/g, which were 76.89%, 164.36% and 22.75% higher than that of the BC, respectively. In addition, the adsorption process of Cu2+ and Cd2+ on BC and HNC fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetics, but the adsorption of Pb2+ on BC and HNC fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-first-order kinetics. Adsorption isotherms indicated that the adsorption of Cu2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ by BC and HNC was a spontaneous endothermic process. The competitive adsorption of mixed metal ions (Cu2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+) revealed that HNC was more preferential to adsorb Cu2+ compared with Cd2+ and Pb2+. Furthermore, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses revealed that the main adsorption mechanisms were surface complexation and precipitation, and the adsorbed Cu2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ on HNC mainly exist as CuO, Cd(OH)2, Pb3O4 and Pb(OH)2.

Abstract
Chemical activation of Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam (jackfruit peel) via phosphoric acid was focused on this study for the preparation of activated carbon. Carbonization was done at a temperature of 400°C based on the nature of biomass after the impregnation ratio of 1 : 1 (weight of phosphoric acid/weight of raw material). Titanium dioxide was doped on the prepared activated carbon through the sol-gel method. Titanium dioxide doped activated carbon was synthesized to perceive the nature of adsorbents under ambient conditions. Both JPAC and JPAC/TiO2 adsorbents were characterized by the point of zero charges, Fourier transform of infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The adsorption capacity of Reactive Red 194 (Red 2BN) dye on jackfruit peel activated carbon (JPAC) is 32.271 mg/g, and JPAC/TiO2 is 34.900 mg/g was observed under optimum conditions. Desorption efficiency of JPAC/TiO2 (≥93.4%) is slightly higher compared to JPAC (≥89.2%). Tannery effluents of various parameters were analyzed, and their chemical oxygen demand (COD) values trim down within the permissible limits of JPAC (97%) and JPAC/TiO2 (98%). Experimental data were studied using both two-parameter and three-parameter models of adsorption isotherm, namely, the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Redlich-Peterson, Sips, Toth, and Khan. In which the Langmuir isotherm (
) best described the experimental data with an optimum monolayer capacity for adsorption capacity of 49.7 mg/g at 323 K on Red 2BN molecules. A proposed scheme of Red 2BN molecules on the active sites of adsorbents was illustrated. Regeneration of spent carbons was studied through different cycles of the run.

Abstract
Spent methanol-to-propylene (MTP) catalysts have a large specific surface area and high porosity but are usually disposed of in landfills directly, and recycling has rarely been reported. In this study, the spent MTP catalyst was moderately dealuminized with organic acids and etched with alkali solvent to increase its specific surface area, further silanized by octyl triethoxy silane (OTS). A novel superhydrophobic adsorbent covered with –Si(CH2)7CH3 groups was obtained. The characterization of XRD, SEM, FTIR and XPS shows that the adsorbent maintains a typical ZSM-5 zeolite structure, and the –Si(CH2)7CH3 group is successfully grafted into the sample, not only on the surface but also in some pore space. Taking high chemical oxygen demand (COD) wastewater as the object, the influence of contract time, pH and temperature on COD removal was investigated. The removal process could be better depicted by the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo second-order dynamic model. Furthermore, the results of the thermodynamic study (∆G is − 79.35 kJ/mol, ∆S is 423.68 J/mol K, and ∆H is 46.91 kJ/mol) show that the adsorption was a spontaneous and endothermic process. These findings indicate that the modified spent MTP catalyst has potential application for the removal of COD from wastewater.

Abstract
This study reported solidification/stabilisation of lead and copper-laden fly ash (adsorbent) utilising cement as binder for their ultimate disposal. The Pb (II) and Cu (II) loaded fly ash was successfully immobilised within the cement matrix without presence of any chemical agents. A retardation of 80-100 min in the setting time of cement paste was noticed on the addition of metal-laden fly ash attributed to the presence of metal ions. However, a gradual decrease in mechanical strength of the mortars was observed with higher amounts of Pb (II) and Cu (II)-loaded fly ash in the mix composition. This decrease is ascribed to the breakdown of calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gel network in the presence of metal crystallites, as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX) analyses. TG-DTG studies also reveal a decrease in CSH (%) from 4.77% (for fly ash cement mortar) to 4.14% and 3.86% for Pb (II) and Cu (II)-loaded fly ash mortars, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of metal-laden fly ash cement mortars substantiate the immobilisation of Pb (II) and Cu (II) metal ions in the cement matrix as peaks for Ca[Pb(OH)3]2 and Ca[CuH2O5Si] are visible in their patterns, respectively. TCLP tests conducted on 56 day cured metal-laden fly ash mortars show leachate concentration not exceeding the discharge standards. Overall, these results indicate that this integrated adsorption- solidification/stabilisation process is efficient for safe disposal and utilisation of heavy metal-laden fly ash for building and construction related work as a secondary material.

Abstract
More rigorous environmental rules on hazardous metals release require the implementation of diverse methods to remove them from contaminated streams. The adsorption process is the most attractive method for removal of toxic metal ions from different aqueous solutions. In the present study, batch and fixed bed column experiments were carried out to investigate the performance of permethylated β-cyclodextrin impregnated resin for the removal of As(V) ions from aqueous solutions. Sorption of As(V) ions was performed in groups under a variety of pH and metal concentrations. It was noted that removal efficiency was the highest (98%) at pH 6.0, and at an initial As(V) concentration equal to 0.1 mg/L. Sorption model use for experimental data indicates that the removal mechanism of As(V) by the permethylated β-cyclodextrin impregnated resin was the physical sorption. The adsorption capacity of the cyclodextrin ligand immobilized onto Amberlite XAD-4 resin was 19 mg/g. In addition, the impregnated resin was regenerable, thus was able to be used over and over.

Abstract
The development of a novel textile sludge based activated carbon (TSBAC) adsorbent and its performance for the treatment of textile dyeing effluent, have been explained in this paper. TSBAC was prepared by the thermal treatment of textile effluent treatment sludge followed by the chemical activation using phosphoric acid. Characterization of TSBAC resulted in enhanced specific surface area (123.65 m2/g) along with the presence of active surface functional groups including -OH, -COOH, -CO. TSBAC showed superior adsorption capacity for methylene blue (123.6 mg/g), reactive red 198 (101.4 mg/g), and reactive yellow 145 (96.8 mg/g) individually, and from the synthetic textile effluent (106 mg/g). The pseudo-second order model and Langmuir isotherm model were found to be fitted well with batch experimental data. The results of the continuous column studies showed that adsorption capacity for methylene blue, reactive red 198, reactive yellow 145 are 101.8 mg/g, 76.6 mg/g, and 75.1 mg/g respectively, and the synthetic textile effluent resulted in an adsorption capacity value of 79.1 mg/g. The reuse potential of TSBAC was proved by effective dye removal up to six reuse cycles. The leachability studies proved that the used adsorbent could be safely disposed of without any harmful effect to the environment.

Abstract
Phosphatic clays, one type of phosphorite industry wastes, could induce environmental issues and geological disasters when they are piled in the open air. Previous research demonstrated that phosphatic clays usually exhibit poor performance in heavy metal immobilization mostly due to low phosphate content. Thus, phosphatic clays could not be applied in practical heavy metal remediation without pretreatment. If the adsorption performance of phosphatic clays could be improved, employing phosphatic clays for heavy metal immobilization may act as an eco-friendly, economic way to not only reutilize phosphorite industry wastes but also remedy environmental heavy metal pollution at the same time. In this study, we propose an argon plasma treatment approach to remarkably improve the effectiveness of phosphatic clay performances in heavy metal immobilization. The optimal Pb(II) sorption capacity of 66.7 mg g-1 can be obtained at pH 6 and 25°C by using 15-min argon plasma treated phosphatic clays, which is two times as large as those of the untreated phosphatic clays and almost reaches those of raw apatite minerals. Moreover, the Pb(II) desorption ratios of Pb(II)-adsorbed phosphatic clays are also reduced by 30%-60% at different pH conditions. Therefore, applying argon-plasma technique to transform waste phosphatic clays into efficient heavy-metal sorbents is a promising road to phosphorite waste reclamation and environmental remediation.

Abstract
Guar gum blended soil (GGBS) offers potentially advantageous engineering characteristics of hydraulic conductivity and strength for a soil to be used as a liner material. Characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope were used to examine the mineral composition, functional groups and morphological changes in the unblended soil (UBS) and GGBS. These characterization approaches are used to understand adsorption-associated mechanisms of Pb(II) removal. Batch adsorption tests were performed to evaluate the adsorption capacity of UBS and the GGBS with various proportions (0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0%) of guar gum (GG) towards the removal of Pb(II) ions. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted by varying the pH, dosage of adsorbent, concentration of metal ions and contact time. The experimental results showed that the optimum removal of Pb(II) ions was high at a pH of 3.0 for all blends, and adsorption tests beyond 3.0 pH demonstrated a decline in adsorption performance. The maximum Pb(II) removal efficiency of 95% was obtained using the 2.0% GGBS. The isotherm model assessment for adsorption experimental data of Pb(II) showed the best fit for the Langmuir model on using GG. The present research demonstrated that the guar gum-treated blends exhibited potential Pb(II) ion adsorption properties and therefore can be used as sustainable liner material in sanitary landfills.

Abstract
Cr(VI) is a common heavy metal ion, which will seriously harm human body and environment. Therefore, the removal of Cr(VI) has become an attractive topic. In this work, cinder was used as a raw material to synthesize a nanoneedle material: γ-(AlOOH@FeOOH) (γ-Al@Fe). The physicochemical properties of γ-Al@Fe were thoroughly characterized, and its effectiveness as a catalyst for photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) was evaluated. The results showed that Cr(VI) could be efficiently reduced by γ-Al@Fe in the presence of tartaric acid (TA) under visible light. The variable factors on the reaction were investigated in detail, and the results showed that under optimal conditions (γ-Al@Fe 0.4 g/L, TA 0.6 g/L, pH 2), Cr(VI) was completely reduced within 7 min. Besides, scavenger experiments and EPR proved that O2• - and CO2• - played a significant role in the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI). TA acts as a sacrificial agent to trap the holes and generate strong reducing free radicals: CO2• -. Dissolving O2 could react with electrons to generate O2• -. This work discussed the performance and mechanism of photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) in detail, which provided a new idea for the resource utilization of solid waste and the treatment of heavy metal sewage.

Abstract
Removal of lead (II) (Pb2+) from contaminated soil was investigated using a new-type switchable-array-electrode electrokinetics assisted by permeable reactive barrier (SAE/EK-PRB). The soil pH after treatments with SAE/EK-PRB ranged from 3.5 to 4.8, and the peak values of current density was highest with 3.01 mA/cm2 at voltage gradient 2.5 V/cm. Both voltage gradient and moisture content promoted the removal of Pb2+. Moisture content 35% and 2.5 V/cm were considered as the optional operating conditions. Different PRB filling materials including zeolite, fly ash, active carbon alone and the combination of fly ash and graphene oxide were, therefore, investigated under the optional operating conditions. The highest removal reached 92.6% with the combination of fly ash and graphene oxide. Pb2+ forms in the soil with different PRB filling materials showed the percentages of weak bindings, such as exchangeable and carbonate forms decreased. However, strong binding, residual form increased largely, indicating the SAE/EK-PRB could effectively reduce the environmental risk of Pb2+ to a great extent. Fly ash and the combination of zeolite and fly ash as PRB filling materials demonstrated to be highly promising for the effective EK remediation of Pb2+-contaminated soil, taking the economic and environmental principles and remediation efficiency into consideration.

Abstract
The effective removal of chlorine ion from the desulfurization slurry is of great significance to the stable operation of the desulfurization system. Modified fly ash hydrotalcites were prepared by alkali/acid-combined roasting and microwaving and used as an adsorbent for chlorine ion in desulfurized wastewater. The specific surface area and porosity of different adsorbents were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The impacts of pH, temperature, adsorbent dosage, and adsorption shaking time on adsorption performance were investigated. Results showed the alkali-combined roasting-modified fly ash hydrotalcite has the optimum removal effect on Cl-. The optimal adsorption performance was achieved when the pH was 8, the adsorption temperature was 60 °C, the mass concentration of adsorbent was 10 g/L, the adsorption shaking time was 180 min, and the removal percentage of Cl- was 68.1%. The adsorption isotherm was consistent with the Langmuir isotherm model, and the adsorption saturation was 694.4 mg/g, which belonged to monolayer adsorption.

Abstract
A single-matrix hydrophobic ceramic membrane (HCM) was prepared via gel-casting and membrane grafting. Fly ash cenospheres and 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl trichlorosilane were used as the single-matrix material. The results showed that when the sintering temperature was 1300℃, the porosity was 75.56 %, and flexural strength was 11.1 MPa; this means that the material meets the requirements for mechanical properties. After grafting 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctane trichlorosilane, the Si-CH3 peak increased and the Si-OH peak was weaker. Also, the contact angle of the droplet increased from 56° to 126°, and this indicates that the droplet was successfully chemically adsorbed to the surface of the ceramic membrane. The results of computational fluid dynamics simulation show that a gaussian spherical wall greatly improved the permeation flux of foamed ceramic membranes, and the permeation flux of the microchannel increased by 26.5 %∼76.2 % at the same transmembrane pressure. Pure water permeation flux and heavy metal adsorption experiments shows excellent high permeation flux and satisfactory heavy metal adsorption performance of HCM. From the perspective of membrane cost, HCM is suitable to be promoted. In summary, HCM has the potential for commercial application.

Abstract
This study was conducted to explore the potential capacity for the removal of heavy metals from the fly ash (FA) and bottom ash (BA) emitted by wood pellet thermal power plants. Fly ash consists of inorganic compounds such as CaSiO3, P2O5, and K2O, whereas BA shows properties very similar to the biochar derived from organic biomass. The adsorption properties of both FA and BA for Cd were described well by the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models, and the maximum adsorption capacity of FA for Cd was 4.2 times higher than that of BA. The results indicate that FA can be applied to the treatment of wastewater that contains heavy metals over pH range from 2-6; however, BA is considered to be most effective for application with wastewater that contains heavy metals at a pH of 5-6. Study of the mechanism concluded that the adsorption of Cd by FA is dominated by the formation of Cd2SiO4 complexes by chemical reactions between CaSiO3 and Cd ions as well as via the precipitation of Cd(OH)2 in the neutral and alkaline solutions that is caused by the dissolution of K. It was found that the adsorption of Cd by BA was influenced by the binding of functional groups (CC and COH), coupled CaCO3 dissolution-CdCO3 precipitation reaction and ion exchange between some minerals with Si and Cd ions in weakly acidic conditions. Results indicate that the FA and BA emitted from wood pellet thermal power plants have high potential for heavy metal removal, and their practical use in the purification and restoration of heavy metals could be an effective way to reduce the waste produced by power plants and clean the environment.

Gupt CB, Bordoloi S, Sekharan S, Sarmah AK. A feasibility study of Indian fly ash-bentonite as an alternative adsorbent composite to sand-bentonite mixes in landfill liner. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2020; 265:114811. [PMID: 32512424 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.114811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2020] [Revised: 05/03/2020] [Accepted: 05/12/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Multi-layered engineered landfill consists of the bottom liner layer (mainly bentonite clay (B)) upon which the hazardous wastes are dumped. In current practice, sand (S) is mixed with bentonite to mitigate the adverse effects of using bentonite alone in the liner layer. Incorporation of waste and unutilized fly ash (FA) as an amendment material to B has been explored in terms of its hydro-mechanical properties, but not gauged its adsorption potential. Indian subcontinent primarily relies on the thermal power source, and FA dumps have already reached its full capacity. The objective of this study is to explore the adsorption characteristics of four B-FA composite mixes sourced within India, considering Pb2+ as a model contaminant. The effect of fly ash type, fly ash amendment rate and adsorbate concentration was explored in the current study and juxtaposed with B-S mixes, based on 960 batch adsorption tests. Both B-FA and B-S mixes reached equilibrium adsorption capacity within 65 min. At higher adsorbate concentrations (commonly observed in the liner), B-FA mixes exhibited superior adsorption capacity, mainly one mixed with Neyvelli fly ash (NFA). The effect of higher amendment rate had little impact on the adsorption capacity at different concentration, but gradually decreased the percentage removal of Pb2+. The B-S mix showed a drastic decrease in percentage removal at higher adsorbate concentration among all tested mixes. Systematic characterization including geotechnical properties, microstructure and chemical analysis was also done to interpret the obtained results. Both Freundlich and Langmuir models fitted the isotherm data well for all B-FA mixes. The maximum adsorption capacity from the isotherm was correlated to easily measurable Atterberg limits by two empirical relationships.

Abstract
Carbon substrate-supported nano-TiO2 (a manufactured material) was prepared in this study for arsenic removal. The removal rates of arsenic were evaluated by batch tests under several simulation conditions including pH, ionic strength, and adsorbent dosage. Results showed that As(III) and As(V) adsorption reached equilibrium within 10 hours (pH = 8 and ionic strength 0.5 mol/L). At pH = 8, maximum adsorption efficiency was discovered for the adsorbent. Removal rate was proportional to the increase in ionic strength. The removal data were satisfactorily fitted to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 > 0.9990) and Freundlich equation (R2 ≥ 0.9600) for adsorption thermodynamic behaviors. New material showed more effective adsorption performance for As(V) than for As(III). It was found that 15.1800 mg/g As(V) and 13.3800 mg/g As(III) were adsorbed, respectively. In addition, material properties were studied including the structure of crystallinity, surface morphology, functional groups, and surface texture by XRD, TEM/SEM, FTIR, and BET methods, respectively. XRD result showed supported nano-TiO2 had the anatase phase. The size of the microparticle was around 52 nm. BET results indicated that material surface areas, pore volume, and pore size diameter were 371.17 m2/g, 0.35 cm3/g, and 11.70 nm, respectively. FTIR spectrum indicated that several functional groups (OH−, Ti-O) existing in supported nano-TiO2 may facilitate the adsorption efficiency. Mechanistically, supported nano-TiO2 played a key role in promoting adsorption efficiency and converting As(III) to As(V). Results indicated that the investigated adsorbents possessed an excellent arsenic removal capability.

Abstract
The increasing use of heavy metals, synthetic dyes and pesticides is a major environmental concern. Wastewaters containing heavy metals and dyes, extensively released from small and large scale industries enter excessively into food chains resulting in mutagenesis, carcinogenicity and serious health impairments in living systems. The arrays of technologies are implemented to date to remediate both inorganic and organic contaminants from wastewaters. Among which, adsorption is the most attractive method as it employs eco-friendly, sustainable and cost-effective biomaterials. Use of bioadsorbents is advantageous over the conventional adsorbents. Clay, chitin, peat, microbial biomass and agricultural wastes are commonly used bioadsorbants. These bioadsorbents are extensively used for elimination of dyes, heavy metals, adsorption of toxic industrial effluents, removal of fertilizers/pesticides, atmospheric pollutants and nuclear waste from the environment. The current review presents state of the art knowledge on various types of biosorbents, their uses, and mechanism of action. Various strategies to enhance the efficiency of bioadsorbents and physicochemical conditions to remediate dyes and heavy metals from waste streams are also incorporated in this review. Use of nano-bioadsorbents in industries to minimize the hazardous effect of solid and liquid waste has also been discussed.

Abstract
In this study, amino groups were directly coated on reduced graphene oxide sheets and applied for the extraction of cadmium(II) ions from well water, aqueduct (water coming from mountain), lentils and rice prior to measurements by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The properties of the adsorbent were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and a vibrating sample magnetometer. Some parameters related to the adsorption and desorption stages were optimized. After preconcentration, the linear determination range of cadmium(II) was 0.5 - 40 μg L-1. The limit of quantification, relative standard deviation and preconcentration factor were obtained as 0.5 μg L-1, 0.39 - 2.18% and 100, respectively.

Abstract
In this study magnetite (Fe3O4) was augmented over coal flyash and analyzed for the effectiveness as a catalyst in heterogeneous Fenton process for the degradation of persistent organic pollutant present in stabilized landfill leachate. Fe3O4 and flyash augmented Fe3O4 was prepared by simple chemical precipitation method and both had magnetic nature. XRD, FTIR and SEM with EDX characterization were consummated for both catalysts. The Fenton experiments were performed in batch mode and to identify the optimal operating condition for effective COD removal the leachate pH, catalysts and H2O2 dosages were varied. The reusability of the catalysts was studied. To understand the degradation mechanism adsorption study, Fenton oxidation of benzoic acid and scavenging experiments with KI and NaF were performed. It was witnessed that flyash augmented Fe3O4 exhibited 84.7% of COD degradation which was 12.3% of higher removal efficiency than Fe3O4 at optimum pH 3, 0.05 M H2O2 and 1000 mg/L of catalyst dosage in 100 min reaction time. This flyash augmented Fe3O4 showed 68% of TOC removal and good increment in biodegradability. Poor NH3-N removal was observed in the Fenton treatment process. Decrease in aromaticity was found based on SUVA254 value and also indicated the removal of organic matter. Similarly, reusability and stability were higher than Fe3O4. The results indicate that flyash augmented Fe3O4 is a competent catalyst in heterogeneous Fenton process for treatment of mature leachate. The usage of waste material flyash with Fe3O4 decreases the co-aggregation of Fe3O4 and improves the catalytic performance.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 703:135468.

Abstract
Nowadays, sanitary landfilling is the most common approach to eliminate municipal solid waste, but a major drawback is the generation of heavily polluted leachates. These leachates must be appropriately treated before being discharged into the environment. Generally, the leachate characteristics such as COD, BOD/COD ratio, and landfill age are necessary determinants for selection of suitable treatment technologies. Rapid, sensitive and cost-effective bioassays are required to evaluate the toxicity of leachate before and after the treatment. This review summarizes extensive studies on leachate treatment methods and leachate toxicity assessment. It is found that individual biological or physical-chemical treatment is unable to meet strict effluent guidelines, whereas a combination of biological and physical-chemical treatments can achieve satisfactory removal efficiencies of both COD and ammonia nitrogen. In order to assess the toxic effects of leachate on different trophic organisms, we need to develop an appropriate matrix of bioassays based on their sensitivity to various toxicants and a multispecies approach using organisms representing different trophic levels. In this regard, a reduction in toxicity of the treated leachate will contribute to assessing the effectiveness of a specific remediation strategy.

Abstract
Biological process for environmental preservation and treatment is not a new technology. It was used a decade ago until now. The most important tools in biological processes are the microorganism and upstream instruments (bioreactor, pond and others) to run the process. Furthermore, the efficiency of the process depends on many factors such as temperature, pH, type of microorganism, conditions, and other nutrients. To understand the factors that will affect the process, mechanisms of microorganisms to treat or protect the environment must be considered. For leachate treatment, biological process is one of the most widely used techniques for low cost and environmentally friendly.
