Abstract
A kind of adsorbent (Hydrogel-I) derived from sodium alginate and modified alkaline lignin (MAL) has been proved to possess a good adsorption performance for Pb(II)-loaded wastewater based on batch experiments. However, practical removal of Pb(II)-loaded-wastewater is a continuous and dynamic process. Herein, Hydrogel-I was further evaluated by packing it into a fixed-bed column. The breakthrough curves were established under different inflow rates (0.159-0.318 L/min), inflow directions (down-inflow mode and top-inflow mode), initial concentrations (5-20 mg/L) of Pb(II), and bed depths (20-60 cm). The results indicated that the slower inflow rate (0.159 L/min), down-inflow mode, lower initial concentration (5 mg/L), and higher bed depth (60 cm) prolonged breakthrough times (tb) and saturation times (ts). Compared to the top-inflow mode, the down-inflow mode guaranteed enough contact between Hydrogel-I and Pb(II). The values of adsorption capacity at tb, ts, and the removal efficiency under the down-inflow mode were higher than that under top-inflow mode by 2.33, 0.78, and 0.07 times, respectively. Hydrogel-I beads exhibited better adsorption performance than other adsorbents by comparing the rate constant (kAB) and the adsorption capacity (N0). The kAB and N0 of Hydrogel-I beads were calculated to be 0.0034 L/(mg·min-1) and 678 mg/L. Hydrogel-I beads showed good regeneration ability in a three-adsorption-desorption cycle. Meanwhile, FT-IR analysis showed that the groups of -NH/-NH2, C=S, and C-S were proved to be the adsorption sites. This study could prove valuable insight into the practical application of Hydrogel-I for dynamic removal of Pb(II) in an inflow-through column.

Abstract
The genus Aeromonas comprises Gram-negative bacilli widely distributed in aquatic habitats that can also be found in the terrestrial environment and in close association with humans and animals. Aeromonas spp. are particularly versatile bacteria, with high genomic plasticity and notable capacity to adapt to different environments and extreme conditions. On account of being mostly associated with their pathogenic potential, research on the biotechnological potentialities of Aeromonas spp. is considerably scarce when compared to other bacterial groups. Nonetheless, studies over the years have been hinting at several interesting hidden potentialities in this bacterial group, especially with the recent advances in whole-genome sequencing, unveiling Aeromonas spp. as interesting candidates for the discovery of novel industrial biocatalysts, bioremediation strategies, and biopolyester production. In this context, the present study aims to provide an overview of the main biotechnological applications reported in the genus Aeromonas and provide new insights into the further exploration of these frequently overlooked, yet fascinating, bacteria.

Abstract
This research work represents a holistic approach of separation of aqueous lead through dynamic adsorption on cucumber peel in fixed bed column bioreactor and highlights the biological perspective of mode of interaction between adsorbent and adsorbate. Additionally attempt has been made to elucidate the importance of this process in preservation of aquatic ecosystem. The study illustrates influence of design parameters, periodic surveillance of generated effluents, statistical and mathematical model analyses of results and desorption. The findings exhibited a direct association between quality of treated effluent and speed of the feed solution, feed concentration and height of the fixed bed. Lead removal percentage was at its best (99.25%) at 8 cm bed height, 20 mL min-1 (0.9 L h-1) flow rate and 50 mg L-1 feed concentration whereas adsorption capacity reached its peak (300.26 mg g-1) when feed concentration was doubled up to 100 mg L-1. Time bound monitoring confirmed concentration of lead in treated effluents remained within satisfactory level. Adsorbed lead was recovered up to ∼95%. Experimentation with actual industrial effluents demonstrated that lead removal percentage remained in the range of 99.97-99.46% and 99.96-99.17% up to the entire phase of bioreactor operation. In summation proper combination of design parameters of column bioreactor played important role in generating superior quality effluent, multiple reuse of the bioreactor bed was dependent on proper eluant treatment and practicability of the study was ascertained by its ability to maintain concentration of lead in actual industrial effluents within permissible limit for prolonged duration.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution is a serious concern of the modern era due to its widespread negative effects on human health and to the environment. Conventional technologies applied for the uptake of this category of persistent pollutants are complex, often expensive, and inefficient at low metal concentrations. In the last few years, non-conventional alternatives have been studied in search of better solutions in terms of costs and sustainability. Microbial adsorbents are one of the biomass-based sorbents that have extensively demonstrated excellent heavy metals removal capacity even at low concentrations. However, most of the carried-out research regarding their application in wastewater treatment has been performed in discontinuous systems. The use of microorganisms for the uptake of metal ions in continuous systems could be an important step for the upscale of the remediation processes since it facilitates a faster remediation of higher quantities of wastewaters loaded with heavy metals, in comparison with batch systems removal. Thus, the current research aims to analyze the available studies focusing on the removal of metal ions from wastewaters using microorganisms, in continuous systems, with a focus on obtained performances, optimized experimental conditions, and the sustainability of the bioremoval process. The present work found that microbial-based remediation processes have demonstrated very good performances in continuous systems. Further sustainability analyses are required in order to apply the bioremediation technology in an optimized environmentally friendly way in large-scale facilities.

Bioremediation potential of Pseudomonas genus isolates from residual water, capable of tolerating lead through mechanisms of exopolysaccharide production and biosorption. BIOTECHNOLOGY REPORTS (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2021; 32:e00685.

Abstract
The mechanisms of tolerance to heavy metals used by some microorganisms identified by bioprospection processes are useful for the development and implementation of bioremediation strategies for contaminated environments with high toxic load caused by heavy metals. A total of seven native microbial isolates were obtained from wastewater bodies from an industrial zone in the municipality of Girardota, Antioquia, Colombia. Subsequently, they were selected to evaluate their lead tolerance capacity at different concentrations. In addition, some parameters were determined, such as the capacity to produce exopolysaccharides and their biosorption to understand potential mechanisms associated to lead tolerance. According to the biocehemical test (Vitek) and the molecular analysis of sequences of 16S rDNA, bacterial were identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas nitroreducens, and Pseudomonas alcaligenes. We determined that the seven isolates had the capacity to tolerate concentrations higher than 50 mg/ml of lead, and that the concentration and exposure time (40 h) to this metal significantly affect the Pseudomonas spp. isolates. Statistically significant differences were detected (p < 0.05) in the production of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) among the isolates. P. aeruginosa (P16) was the strain with the maximum absorbance exopolysaccharide measured. We evidenced that P. aeruginosa (P14) and P. nitroreducens (P20) have 80% capacity to biosorber lead using live mass (minimum range from 80.9% to 87%). It is suggested that the tolerance to lead exhibited by the environmental isolates of Pseudomonas spp. can be attributed to the production of exopolysaccharides and biosorption, which are protection factors for its survival in contaminated places. Finally, it was determined that the adsorption measured from dead biomass was significant (p < 0.05) from 40 h of exposure to metal (Average 182.2 ± 7). We generated new knowledge about the potential use of the Pseudomonas spp. genus to bioremediate affluent contaminated with heavy metals.

Abstract
Proper disposal of the millions of tons of eggshell waste generated around the world every year is a significant environmental challenge. However, eggshell waste can be converted into new materials that may be useful for a wide range of applications. In this study, four methods, including the conventional subcritical hydrothermal method (CSHM), microwave-assisted subcritical hydrothermal method (MSHM), conventional low-temperature hydrothermal method (CLHM), and ultrasonic-assisted low-temperature hydrothermal method (ULHM) were used to convert eggshell waste into hydroxyapatite (HAP). For each hydrothermal method, increasing the reaction temperature increased production efficiency and improved the degree of crystallinity of HAP. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the preferred eggshell-derived HAP, which was produced by the MSHM at 180 °C in a period of only 1 h. For the MSHM, the HAP yield was 75.3%, the degree of HAP crystallinity was as high as 0.78, and pure, rod-like, nano-sized HAP particles with high specific surface area were produced. For the preferred HAP produced by the MSHM, the adsorption capacity of Pb2+and pH were positively related in the range of pH 1-6. Consequently, the HAP produced by the MSHM showed relatively high maximum adsorption (qm= 505.05 mg/g) of Pb2+ in aqueous solution. The adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order reaction model, and the equilibrium adsorption was well fit by the Langmuir model.

Abstract
Adsorptive separation of heavy metals from wastewater is a viable approach to reuse it and avoid environmental pollution. The productive employment of adsorptive separation at a commercial scale, however, relies on the optimized conditions of an adsorber bed holding maximum and selective isolation of the heavy metals. The experimental route includes a significant trial and error approach, is time-consuming, involves operating cost, and remains economically unattractive. Contrarily, simulation of a mathematical model mimicking the adsorption system along with experimental validation can significantly minimize optimization efforts and suggests the best conditions of separation. In this work, a convective-dispersive model and adsorption model for fixed bed adsorption of copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), and cadmium (Cd) metals over wheat bran biosorbent are simulated using the gPROMS tool for benchmarking. The influence of feed flow rate, bed height, and metal concentration is studied, and breakthrough profiles of all heavy metals are predicted and matched with the literature. The error values (R2 and RMSE) and Chi-squared values determined from gPROMS simulations matched well with the previously available MATLAB-simulated data. After a successful benchmarking, we modeled pilot-scale adsorption of Cr on coconut coir (or Biosorbent) in a gPROMS simulation environment. A detailed method and algorithm of gPROMS simulation for Cr isolation is provided. The influence of feed flow rate, bed height, and initial metal concentration is studied on the breakthrough curves of the Cr. The optimum operating condition for the pilot-scale isolation of Cr from the water is suggested. The parameters, such as the axial dispersion coefficient and distribution coefficient, are determined.

Abstract
Biosorption is a bioremediation approach for the removal of harmful dyes from industrial effluents using biological materials. This study investigated Methylene blue (M. blue) and Congo red (C. red) biosorption from model aqueous solutions by two marine macro-algae, Ulva fasciata and Sargassum dentifolium, incorporated within acrylic fiber waste to form composite membranes, Acrylic fiber-U. fasciata (AF-U) and Acrylic fiber-S. dentifolium (AF-S), respectively. The adsorption process was designed to more easily achieve the 3R process, i.e., removal, recovery, and reuse. The process of optimization was implemented through one factor at a time (OFAT) experiments, followed by a factorial design experiment to achieve the highest dye removal efficiency. Furthermore, isotherm and kinetics studies were undertaken to determine the reaction nature. FT-IR and SEM analyses were performed to investigate the properties of the membrane. The AF-U membrane showed a significant dye removal efficiency, of 88.9% for 100 ppm M. blue conc. and 79.6% for 50 ppm C. red conc. after 240 min sorption time. AF-S recorded a sorption capacity of 82.1% for 100 ppm M. blue conc. after 30 min sorption time and 85% for 100 ppm C. red conc. after 240 min contact time. The membranes were successfully applied in the 3Rs process, in which it was found that the membranes could be used for five cycles of the removal process with stable efficiency.

Abstract
In this study, we evaluated the potential use of CuO-ZnO combination structures with activated carbon fibers (ACFs) for the adsorption (by ACFs) and electrochemical detection (by CuO-ZnO) by of SO2 gas. The gas adsorptivity was concluded to improve as a result of the synergetic effects of physical adsorption by the micropores and mesopores, the specific surface area developed by chemical activation and the chemical adsorption reaction between SO2 and the transition metals introduced in the CuO-ZnO combination structures. From comparison of the SO2 sensing properties, the CuO-ZnO combination structures with ACFs exhibited the fastest sensing capability. This result can be attributed to the larger specific surface area of the semiconductor, which extended its depletion layer by forming p-type CuO/n-type ZnO junctions. This phenomenon led to good SO2 detection through a decrease in the resistance; thus, the contributions of the sensing responses of p-type CuO and n-type ZnO represent a predominant characteristic of the sensor. These types of mechanisms were proven through various physicochemical and electrical characterization methods, especially through evaluation of the SO2 sensing capability of the CuO-ZnO combination structures with ACFs. The reversible sensing capability indicates that the p-n junction structure changed the electrical properties of the ACFs, leading to an intriguing sensing mechanism.

Abstract
Finding green effective methods for dye removal from wastewater created an important interest in comparison to conventional methods. The aim of the present work was directed to study micro grinded dried biomass of two macro-algal species, Ulva fasciata and Sargassum dentifolium as complementary biosorbent materials for effective methylene blue (MB) removal from waste water. The two macro-algal species were collected, dried, and grinded by ball mill to get the micro size. After that, the biosorbent materials were characterized by FT-IR, TEM, and DLS. Furthermore, Full Factorial Design was applied to determine the optimum conditions that maximize the MB adsorption efficiency. Ulva fasciata biosorbent material was achieved the highest MB adsorption capacity, 97% of 328 mg/l MB with a maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of 244 mg/g in comparison to the Sargassum dentifolium, 85.6% of 26 mg/l MB with (qmax) of 66.6 mg/g. Based on Factorial Design data the main effects of the Ulva biosorbent exhibited that both time & biosorbent dose had a positive effect on biosorption and both pH & MB concentrations have a negative effect, on the other hand, no temperature effect on both biosorbents. Point of zero charge (pHpzc) was recorded at pH 6.7 and 9 for Ulva and Sargassum biosorbents, respectively. The obtained results suggested that the two macro-algal species can be used in a complementary consecutive process where Ulva fasciata started first and followed by Sargassum dentifolium. The complementary treatment process achieved efficiency of 99.2% adsorption of 300 mg/l MB concentration. Moreover, the kinetic data suggested that the adsorption of MB follows the pseudo-second order model.

Abstract
This study depicts successful employment of fixed bed column bioreactor for adsorption of lead in continuous mode using lentil husk as sorbent. Design parameters considerably controlled the reactor performance, amongst which height of the fixed bed and flow rate were crucial in generating cleaner effluent. Adsorption capacity was found to shoot up to the level of 205.87 mg g-1 at 10 cm bed height, 100 mg L-1 feed concentration and 20 mL min-1 flow rate. Kinetic study done at regular intervals of time revealed high percentage removal of lead (99-96%) throughout entire span of reactor operation. Experimental data were well interpreted by Thomas model and Yoon-Nelson model. The reactor bed was regenerated after each adsorption and loaded metal was recovered up to the extent of ∼96%. The column reactor was efficient enough to treat lead containing actual industrial effluents.

Abstract
Metal pollution is a current environmental issue as a consequence of unregulated anthropic activiy. A wide range of bioremediation strategies have been successfully implemented to recover contaminated areas. Among them, bacterial bioremediation stands out as a promising tool to confront these types of concerns. This study aimed to compare and discuss worldwide scientific evolution of bacterial potential for metal bioremediation in aquatic ecosystems. The study consisted of a systematic review, elaborated through a conceptual hypothesis model, during the period from 2000 to 2016, using PubMed, MEDLINE, and SciELO databases as data resources. The countries with the largest number of reports included in this work were India and the USA. Industrial wastewater discharge was the main subject associated to metal contamination/pollution and where bacterial bioremediations have mostly been applied. Biosorption is the main bioremediation mechanism described. Bacterial adaptation to metal presence was discussed in all the selected studies, and chromium was the most researched bioremedied substrate. Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosas and the Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis bacteria were microorganisms with the greatest applicability for metal bioremediation. Most reports involved the study of genes and/or proteins related to metal metabolism and/or resistence, and Chromobacterium violaceum was the most studied. The present work shows the relevance of metal bacterial bioremediation through the high number of studies aimed at understanding the microbiological mechanisms involved. Moreover, the developed processes applied in removal and/or reducing the resulting environmental metal contaminant/pollutant load have become a current and increasingly biotechnological issue for recovering impacted areas.

Abstract
Lead removal from aqueous solutions by raw cypress (Cupressus sempervirens L.) sawdust (RCS) and its derivative magnesium pretreated biochar (Mg-B) was investigated under static and dynamic conditions through batch and column assays. The Hydrus-1D model was used to estimate the transport parameters of the lead measured breakthrough curves. The batch experiments results showed that Mg-B was very efficient in removing lead compared to RCS and several other previously tested natural and modified materials. The column experiments results indicated that for both RCS and Mg-B, lead breakthrough curves and the related removal efficiencies were mainly dependent on the used initial concentration and the adsorbents bed height. The use of Hydrus-1D showed that the two-site chemical non-equilibrium model describes better the experimental lead breakthrough curves for both RCS and Mg-B as the equilibrium model.

Abstract
Based on the coupling of biosorption and membrane separation, a low cost membrane-type biosorbent (MBS) of Penicillium biomass was prepared. The surface morphology, pore properties and functional groups were studied via the characterization of MBS. Batch biosorption experiments indicated the maximum biosorption capacity of Cu(II) on MBS was 126.58 mg/g and about 90% of that on chitosan membrane. A plate column reactor filled with multi-layer of MBS was built for treatment of wastewater contaminated by Cu(II). The biosorption process factors were screened using Plackett-Burman design and three significant variables were selected for further optimization via response surface methodology (RSM) based on Box-Behnken model. A statistically second-order polynomial model was constructed with the error below 1.22%, on the basis of which the three-dimensional response surfaces were plotted. The prepared membrane-type biosorbent could be used successfully for 10 biosorption-desorption-regeneration cycles without decreasing its biosorption ability obviously.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the research is to investigate the applicability of the low-cost natural biosorbents for the removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution and effluent from battery industry. METHODS Six different biosorbents namely rice straw, rice bran, rice husk, coconut shell, neem leaves, and hyacinth roots have been used for the removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution in batch process. All the biosorbents were collected from local area near Kolkata, West Bengal, India. The removal efficiency was determined in batch experiments for each biosorbent. RESULTS The biosorbents were characterized by SEM, FTIR, surface area, and point of zero charge. The sorption kinetic data was best described by pseudo-second-order model for all the biosorbents except rice husk which followed intraparticle diffusion model. Pb(II) ions adsorption process for rice straw, rice bran, and hyacinth roots were governed predominately by film diffusion, but in the case of rice husk, it was intraparticle diffusion. Film diffusion and intraparticle diffusion were equally responsible for the biosorption process onto coconut shell and neem leaves. The values of mass transfer coefficient indicated that the velocity of the adsorbate transport from the bulk to the solid phase was quite fast for all cases. Maximum monolayer sorption capacities onto the six natural sorbents studied were estimated from the Langmuir sorption model and compared with other natural sorbents used by other researchers. The Elovich model, the calculated values of effective diffusivity, and the sorption energy calculated by using the Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm were indicated that the sorption process was chemical in nature. The thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption processes were endothermic. FTIR studies were carried out to understand the type of functional groups responsible for Pb(II) ions binding process. Regeneration of biosorbents were carried out by desorption studies using HNO3. Battery industry effluents were used for the application study to investigate applicability of the biosorbents. CONCLUSION The biosorbents can be utilized as low-cost sorbents for the removal of Pb(II) ions from wastewater.

Abstract
In the present study, chemically treated Helianthus annuus flowers (SHC) were used to optimize the removal efficiency for Cr(VI) by applying Response Surface Methodological approach. The surface structure of SHC was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX). Batch mode experiments were also carried out to assess the adsorption equilibrium in aqueous solution. The adsorption capacity (qe) was found to be 7.2 mg/g. The effect of three parameters, that is pH of the solution (2.0-7.0), initial concentration (10-70 mg/L) and adsorbent dose (0.05-0.5 g/100 mL) was studied for the removal of Cr(VI) by SHC. Box-Behnken model was used as an experimental design. The optimum pH, adsorbent dose and initial Cr(VI) concentration were found to be 2.0, 5.0 g/L and 40 mg/L, respectively. Under these conditions, removal efficiency of Cr(VI) was found to be 90.8%.
