Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:6871. [PMID: 38999979 PMCID: PMC11241117 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25136871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
This study presents a pioneering synthesis of a direct Z-scheme Y2TmSbO7/GdYBiNbO7 heterojunction photocatalyst (YGHP) using an ultrasound-assisted hydrothermal synthesis technique. Additionally, novel photocatalytic nanomaterials, namely Y2TmSbO7 and GdYBiNbO7, were fabricated via the hydrothermal fabrication technique. A comprehensive range of characterization techniques, including X-ray diffractometry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, UV-visible spectrophotometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, photocurrent testing, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance, was employed to thoroughly investigate the morphological features, composition, chemical, optical, and photoelectric properties of the fabricated samples. The photocatalytic performance of YGHP was assessed in the degradation of the pesticide acetochlor (AC) and the mineralization of total organic carbon (TOC) under visible light exposure, demonstrating eximious removal efficiencies. Specifically, AC and TOC exhibited removal rates of 99.75% and 97.90%, respectively. Comparative analysis revealed that YGHP showcased significantly higher removal efficiencies for AC compared to the Y2TmSbO7, GdYBiNbO7, or N-doped TiO2 photocatalyst, with removal rates being 1.12 times, 1.21 times, or 3.07 times higher, respectively. Similarly, YGHP demonstrated substantially higher removal efficiencies for TOC than the aforementioned photocatalysts, with removal rates 1.15 times, 1.28 times, or 3.51 times higher, respectively. These improvements could be attributed to the Z-scheme charge transfer configuration, which preserved the preferable redox capacities of Y2TmSbO7 and GdYBiNbO7. Furthermore, the stability and durability of YGHP were confirmed, affirming its potential for practical applications. Trapping experiments and electron spin resonance analyses identified active species generated by YGHP, namely •OH, •O2-, and h+, allowing for comprehensive analysis of the degradation mechanisms and pathways of AC. Overall, this investigation advances the development of efficient Z-scheme heterostructural materials and provides valuable insights into formulating sustainable remediation strategies for combatting AC contamination.

Abstract
A novel photocatalytic nanomaterial, Ho2YSbO7, was successfully synthesized for the first time using the solvothermal synthesis technique. In addition, a Ho2YSbO7/Bi2MoO6 heterojunction photocatalyst (HBHP) was prepared via the hydrothermal fabrication technique. Extensive characterizations of the synthesized samples were conducted using various instruments, such as an X-ray diffractometer, a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, a Raman spectrometer, a UV-visible spectrophotometer, an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer, and a transmission electron microscope, as well as X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, a photocurrent test, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance. The photocatalytic activity of the HBHP was evaluated for the degradation of diuron (DRN) and the mineralization of total organic carbon (TOC) under visible light exposure for 152 min. Remarkable removal efficiencies were achieved, with 99.78% for DRN and 97.19% for TOC. Comparative analysis demonstrated that the HBHP exhibited markedly higher removal efficiencies for DRN compared to Ho2YSbO7, Bi2MoO6, or N-doped TiO2 photocatalyst, with removal efficiencies 1.13 times, 1.21 times, or 2.95 times higher, respectively. Similarly, the HBHP demonstrated significantly higher removal efficiencies for TOC compared to Ho2YSbO7, Bi2MoO6, or N-doped TiO2 photocatalyst, with removal efficiencies 1.17 times, 1.25 times, or 3.39 times higher, respectively. Furthermore, the HBHP demonstrated excellent stability and reusability. The mechanisms which could enhance the photocatalytic activity remarkably and the involvement of the major active species were comprehensively discussed, with superoxide radicals identified as the primary active species, followed by hydroxyl radicals and holes. The results of this study contribute to the advancement of efficient heterostructural materials and offer valuable insights into the development of sustainable remediation strategies for addressing DRN contamination.

Insight into atrazine removal by fallen leaf biochar prepared at different pyrolysis temperatures: Batch experiments, column adsorption and DFT calculations. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 317:120832. [PMID: 36493581 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.120832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The environmental pollution caused by atrazine in the agricultural production cannot be ignored. In this study, the fallen leaf biochar (LBC) was prepared at three different temperatures (500 °C, 600 °C, and 700 °C) using a simple pyrolysis method (500 LBC, 600 LBC, and 700 LBC) for atrazine adsorption. Batch experiments showed that the performance of LBC in atrazine adsorption improved with rising pyrolysis temperature, and the highest adsorption amount of 700 LBC reached 84.32 mg g-1. Kinetic and isotherm models showed that the adsorption behaviors were both monolayer and multilayer chemisorption. The findings of the characterizations (Elemental analysis, BET, XRD, Raman, FT-IR, and XPS) confirmed that the degree of aromatization determined the adsorption capacity of LBC to atrazine, and π-π electron donor-acceptor interaction was the main adsorption mechanism. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that the highly aromatized biochar was more effective for atrazine adsorption, manifested as smaller molecular distances, higher adsorption energies, more stable complex structures, and stronger π-electron conjugation. In the column adsorption experiments, reducing the inlet flow rate or increasing the bed height extended the breakthrough time and exhaustion time of the breakthrough curves, and 700 LBC still showed good adsorption performance after five cycles. Overall, fallen leaf biochar as a reuse product of resource showed good potential for application in atrazine adsorption, which can be used for atrazine-contaminated water remediation.

Abstract
The environmental pollution caused by organic dyes has damaged serious harm to human life. Hence, a series of Zr-Mg composite oxide nanoclusters with different metal ratios were synthesized by solvothermal method for adsorption of malachite green in aqueous solution. The optimal adsorbent with Zr/Mg metal molar ratio of 1 : 2 presented good adsorption performance, which adsorption capacity reached 12647.60 mg/g, and removal rate of malachite green reached more than 99%. These adsorbents were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectra, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, and other methods. Influence of initial concentration of malachite green solution, pH, adsorption temperature, and contact time on absorption efficiency was investigated through batch experiments. Pseudo-second-order kinetic model can well describe the adsorption kinetic data. The three-parameter Sips isotherm model was more suitable for predicting the experimental results than Langmuir and Freundlich, and the adsorption process was endothermic.

Abstract
Adsorption is the most widely adopted, effective, and reliable treatment process for the removal of inorganic and organic contaminants from wastewater. One of the major issues with the adsorption-treatment process for the removal of contaminants from wastewater streams is the recovery and sustainable management of spent adsorbents. This review focuses on the effectiveness of emerging adsorbents and how the spent adsorbents could be recovered, regenerated, and further managed through reuse or safe disposal. The critical analysis of both conventional and emerging adsorbents on organic and inorganic contaminants in wastewater systems are evaluated. The various recovery and regeneration techniques of spent adsorbents including magnetic separation, filtration, thermal desorption and decomposition, chemical desorption, supercritical fluid desorption, advanced oxidation process and microbial assisted adsorbent regeneration are discussed in detail. The current challenges for the recovery and regeneration of adsorbents and the methodologies used for solving those problems are covered. The spent adsorbents are managed through regeneration for reuse (such as soil amendment, capacitor, catalyst/catalyst support) or safe disposal involving incineration and landfilling. Sustainable management of spent adsorbents, including processes involved in the recovery and regeneration of adsorbents for reuse, is examined in the context of resource recovery and circular economy. Finally, the review ends with the current drawbacks in the recovery and management of the spent adsorbents and the future directions for the economic and environmental feasibility of the system for industrial-scale application.

Abstract
As anthropogenic antibiotics, quinolones, e.g., ofloxacin have adverse impacts on ecological systems and human heaths. The removal of quinolones is of great importance, and adsorption techniques have been widely used to remove this hazardous contaminant. However, a robust and easy-operating adsorbent is still emergently required due to the complex chemical structure of quinolones. In this study, we successfully synthesized the promising metallic carbons (MCs) containing carbon nanotubes and cobalt nanoparticles by carbonizing Zn/Co-ZIF at 900 °C. Three different molar ratios of Co and Zn were applied to optimize the adsorption capacity on ofloxacin (OFL). Results showed MC with molar ratio of Co and Zn at 3:1 (Co-CNT/NPC3/1) achieved the maximal adsorption capacity to 118.3 mg g-1. Its adsorption performance was satisfied in the pH range from 5 to 9 and ionic strengths at 0.01 M. The main mechanisms for these adsorptions were identified as electrostatic attraction, metal coordination and π-π EDA. Removal efficiencies of quinolones higher than 68 mg g-1 indicated the strong feasibility of this adsorbent for wastewater treatments. The regeneration of Co-CNT/NPC3/1 at 600 °C allowed its at least 4-time reusability and its magnetic property enabled external magnets to recycle it from real environments.

Abstract
Antibiotics overuse, inappropriate conduct, and discharge have led to adverse effects on various ecosystems. The occurrence of antibiotics in surface and drinking water is a matter of global concern. It is responsible for multiple disorders, including disruption of endocrine hormones and high chronic toxicity. The hospitals, pharmaceutical industries, households, cattle farms, and aquaculture are the primary discharging sources of antibiotics into the environment. This review provides complete detail on applying different nanomaterials or nanoparticles for the efficient removal of antibiotics from the diverse ecosystem with a broader perspective. Efforts have been made to focus on the degradation pathways and mechanism of antibiotic degradation using nanomaterials. More light has been shed on applying nanostructures in photocatalysis, which would be an economical and efficient solution. The nanoscale material or nanoparticles have incredible potential for mineralizing pharmaceutical compounds in aqueous solutions at low cost, easy handling characteristics, and high efficacy. Furthermore, nanoparticles can absorb the pharmaceutical by-products and wastes at a minimum cost as they can be easily recycled. With the increasing number of research in this direction, the valorization of pharmaceutical wastes and by-products will continue to expand as we progress from old conventional approaches towards nanotechnology. The utilization of nanomaterials in pharmaceutical wastewater remediation is discussed with a major focus on valorization, energy generation, and minimization and its role in the circular economy creating sustainable development.

Abstract
In order to eliminate multiple coexisting pollutants in environmental wastewater, a magnetic three-dimensional hierarchical porous flower-like N, Co-doped graphitic carbon nano-polyhedra decorated NiCo-layered double oxides (N-Co@C/NiCo-LDOs) adsorption material was synthesized, which consisted of two-dimensional LDOs nanosheets with functionalized surfaces (N, Co-doped graphitic carbon loaded on both sides of NiCo-LDOs nanosheets). The adsorption properties of N-Co@C/NiCo-LDOs for five types of typical pollutants (cationic dyes: rhodamine b, methylene blue; pesticides: ethofenprox, bifenthrin; anionic dyes: methyl orange, congo red; inorganic cations: Cr2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, inorganic anions: Cr2O72-, AsO33-) were investigated systematically in single and coexisting systems. Combined with the results of FTIR and zeta potential, the adsorption mechanism was discussed. By virtue of its hierarchical porous architecture and the combined effect of functionalized surfaces and LODs supporter, the as-prepared N-Co@C/NiCo-LDOs demonstrates excellent adsorption performance towards five types of typical pollutants with fast adsorption rate, high adsorption capacity and good co-adsorption performance. More importantly, the N-Co@C/NiCo-LDOs showed satisfactory removal efficiency, stability and reusability in model wastewater. The broad-spectrum, rapid, easily separable, and reusable adsorption properties make N-Co@C/NiCo-LDOs promising for highly efficient wastewater treatments. This work also provides a feasible way for the preparation of adsorption materials for the treatment of complex wastewater systems.

[PMID: 34684920 PMCID: PMC8541112 DOI: 10.3390/nano11102479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2021] [Revised: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Spartina alterniflora is an invasive plant from coastal wetlands, and its use in applications has garnered much interest. In this study, a composite photocatalyst (ZnO@BC) was synthesized by preparing zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles with S. alterniflora extracts, S. alterniflora, and one-step carbonization, which was characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), photoluminescence (PL) and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm. The degradation capacity and mechanism of malachite green (MG) using ZnO@BC were analyzed under visible irradiation, and the degradation products of malachite green were detected by LC-MS. The results show that ZnO@BC has a larger surface area (83.2 m2/g) and various reactive groups, which enhance its photocatalytic efficiency, with the presence of oxygen vacancy further improving the photocatalytic activity. The total removal rate of malachite green (400 mg/L) using ZnO@BC is up to 98.38%. From the LC-MS analysis, it could be concluded that malachite green is degraded by demethylation, deamination, conjugate structure and benzene ring structure destruction. This study provides a novel idea for the high-value utilization of S. alterniflora.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 416:126046. [PMID: 34492891 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.126046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2021] [Revised: 04/26/2021] [Accepted: 04/30/2021] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
Efficient removal of antibiotics from aqueous solution is of fundamental importance due to the increasingly severe antibiotic-related pollution. Herein, a high-performance Fe-ZIF-8-500 adsorbent was synthesized by Fe-doping strategy and subsequent activation with high-temperature. In order to evaluate the feasibility of Fe-ZIF-8-500 as an adsorbent for tetracycline (TC) removal, the adsorption properties of Fe-ZIF-8-500 were systematically explored. The results showed that the Fe-ZIF-8-500 exhibited ultrahigh adsorption capacity for TC with a record-high value of 867 mg g-1. Additionally, the adsorption kinetics and isotherms for TC onto the Fe-ZIF-8-500 can be well-fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the Freundlich model, respectively. The ultrahigh adsorption capacity of Fe-ZIF-8-500 can be explained by the synergistic effect of multi-affinities, i.e., surface complexation, electrostatic attraction, π-π interaction and hydrogen bonding. After being used for four cycles the adsorption capacity of Fe-ZIF-8-500 remains a high level, demonstrating its outstanding reusability. The ultrahigh adsorption capacity, excellent reusability, satisfactory water stability and easy-preparation nature of Fe-ZIF-8-500 highlight its bright prospect for removing tetracycline pollutant from wastewater.

Abstract
Ba-loaded ZnO nanoparticles (Ba/ZnO) were obtained by the co-precipitation process and employed as a sorbent for Congo Red (C32H22N6Na2O6S2) dye (CR). Physicochemical parameters such as particle size, pH, and contact time were checked to characterize the adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacity of Ba/ZnO NPs for CR (1614.26 mg/g) proves its potential utility in the elimination of CR dye from wastewater. The adsorption mechanism was studied via infrared spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. The geometrical parameters and electronic properties of the CR-Ba/ZnO complex, particularly the interaction energy, the density of states, and the charge transfer, highlighted the Ba-ion mediation in the chemical bond formation between CR and the surface. The interaction between CR and Ba-doped ZnO has found to show strong chemisorption with charge transfer between the SO3- group and adsorbed Ba2+ ion on the surface.

Abstract
Antibiotic abuse has led to serious water pollution and severe harm to human health; therefore, there is an urgent need for antibiotic removal from water sources. Adsorption and photodegradation are two ideal water treatment methods because they are cheap, simple to operate, and reusable. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are excellent adsorbents and photocatalysts because of their high porosity, adaptability, and good crystal form. The aim of this study is to suggest ways to overcome the limitations of adsorption and photocatalysis treatment methods by reviewing previous applications of MOFs to antibiotic adsorption and photocatalysis. The different factors influencing these processes are also discussed, as well as the various adsorption and photocatalysis mechanisms. This study provides a valuable resource for researchers intending to use MOFs to remove antibiotics from water bodies.

Abstract
This study developed a facile approach for the fabrication of dual MgO-loaded carbon foam (DMCF) via carbonization of a cured MgO/cyanate ester resin mixture, which underwent self-foaming of the resin followed by the carbothermal reduction of MgO. The features of the prepared DMCF prepared were characterized by FESEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR, XPS and so on, and the effects of adsorption conditions, adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics on malachite green (MG) removal using the DMCF as adsorbents were investigated through batch adsorption experiments. Results demonstrate that the DMCF possesses a unique dual loading of MgO particles which are not only loaded onto its foam walls but also filled within the walls with a graphene-wrapped core-shell structure. The experimental maximum adsorption capacity of MG reaches up to 1874.18 mg/g with a partition coefficient of 10.87 mg/g/μM. The adsorption process can be better described with Langmuir, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models. Moreover, the DMCF exhibits a removal percentage of 84.85% after five reuses, indicating that it is an efficient and promising adsorbent for MG adsorption.

Abstract
Excessive synthetic dyestuffs in the aquatic environment pose various ecological and health issues that are detrimental to sustainable development. Adsorption is considered a feasible technique of eliminating dye pollutants from the water environment because of its advantages of high efficiency, low cost, easy operation, and absence of secondary pollution. Among the many dyes, Congo red (CR) is a widely used azo dye. Nickel-based materials, including nickel hydroxide, nickel oxide, nickel-containing layered double hydroxides, nickel-based spinel and metal-organic frameworks, metallic nickel, nickel-based sulfide, and nickel composites, have been extensively studied for CR adsorption due to their morphological diversity, large specific surface area, and strong affinity toward CR. However, fabricating nickel-based adsorbents with high efficiency and stability and excellent recyclability for practical application remains a challenge. This review outlines the research progress of nickel-based materials in CR adsorption. The interaction between CR molecules and nickel-based adsorbents is systematically presented, and the possible adsorption mechanisms are summarized. Finally, the challenges and future development directions of the practical application of nickel-based adsorbent materials are proposed.

Abstract
Production of multi-functional zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) for wastewater treatment through green-approaches is a desirable alternative for conventional synthesis routes. Biomass waste valorization for nanoparticles synthesis has received increased research attention. The present study reports date pulp waste (DPW) utilization as an effective bio-reductant for green-synthesis of ZnO-NPs. A simple and eco-friendly process with low reaction time and calcination temperature was adopted for DPW mediated ZnO-NPs (DP-ZnO-NPs) synthesis. Microscopic investigations of DP-ZnO-NPs confirmed the non-agglomeration and spherical nature of particles with mean diameter of 30 nm. EDX and XPS analysis defined the chemical composition and product purity of DP-ZnO-NPs. UV and photoluminescence studies exhibited surface plasmonic resonance at 381 nm and fluorescent nature of DP-ZnO-NPs. FTIR studies established a formation mechanism outline for DP-ZnO-NPs. XRD and Raman investigations confirmed the crystalline and hexagonal wurtzite phase of DP-ZnO-NPs. DSC/TG analysis displayed the thermal stability of DP-ZnO-NPs with <10 wt% loss upto 700 °C. Photocatalytic degradation of hazardous methylene blue and eosin yellow dyes using DP-ZnO-NPs, showed rapid decomposition rate with 90 % degradation efficiency. Additionally, DP-ZnO-NPs demonstrated significant antibacterial effects on various pathogenic bacteria in terms of zone-of-inhibition measured by disc-diffusion method. Thus, the as-prepared DP-ZnO-NPs is suitable for industrial wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies in shale reservoirs have attracted increasing interest in recent years. To study the CO₂ adsorption behaviour in the Longmaxi shale, isothermal adsorption experiments, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and other techniques were employed in this study. The results show that when the pressure is less than 7.37 MPa, the Langmuir model fits well with the experimental CO₂ adsorption data in the shale. In contrast, when the pressure is greater than 7.37 MPa, the D+R-K model fits better with the experimental data. From low pressure to high pressure (>20 MPa), the CO₂ adsorption isothermal curves can be divided into four stages: rapid adsorption stage, slow adsorption stage, linear decreasing stage and slightly decreasing stage. With increases in temperature, the CO₂ adsorption capacity decreases as expected. In addition, the effects of the Longmaxi shale nano-structure on the CO₂ adsorption behaviour were also investigated. It was found that organic matter has a greater influence than clay and quartz on the CO₂ adsorption behaviour. Based on the SEM observations, large numbers of nanoscale organic pores were found in the shale samples, and these nanoscale organic pores may control the CO₂ adsorption behaviour in organic-rich Longmaxi shale. With increasing total organic carbon (TOC) content, the CO₂ adsorption capacity increases linearly. In this study, the characteristics of the CO₂ adsorption in shale and its relationship with the shale nano-structure were studied, which may be helpful for understanding CCS technologies and their application in enhanced shale gas recovery.

Abstract
p-n Heterojunctions of BiOI/ZnO nanorod arrays (BiOI/ZnO NRs) were prepared by loading the p-type BiOI nanosheets on the n-type ZnO nanorod arrays for efficient removal of organic contaminants in water during the piezo-photocatalytic degradation. Under concurrent visible-light irradiation and ultrasonic vibration, the bisphenol solution (50 mL, 10 mg/L) could be completely degraded within 30 min by 10 mg of 0.15 BiOI/ZnO NRs. It shows a dramatically-enhanced degradation efficiency under light irradiation and ultrasonic vibration, which is four times as high as that only under light irradiation. The excellent piezo-photocatalytic ability of BiOI/ZnO NRs could be attributed to the piezoelectric effect coupling with photocatalytic process. Under the irradiation of light, the electron-hole pairs were generated in BiOI nanosheets, and the piezoelectric potential is created inside the highly oriented one-dimensional ZnO nanorods by ultrasonic vibration, which can accelerate the migration of photogenerated carriers. It shows a strategy to effectively enhance the photocatalytic activity through utilizing the internal piezoelectric potential, which is generated by the one-dimensional nanorods with piezoelectric properties under ultrasonic vibration. So, it can promote the separation and prolong the lifetime of photogenerated carriers, and result in high-efficient degradation of organic contaminants.

Despite the efficiency of ZnO nanoparticle (NPs) composite adsorbents in the adsorption of various pollutants, there is presently no report on the combo of ZnONPs with biomass for adsorption. Besides, there is a dearth of information on the biosorption of celestine blue (CEB), a dye used in the nuclear and textile industry. In this study, biogenic-chemically mediated synthesis of a composite (ZnO@ACP) was prepared by the impregnation of ZnONPs onto Ananas comosus waste (ACP) for the adsorption of CEB. The SEM, EDX, FTIR, XRD, BET, and TGA characterizations showed the successful presence of ZnONPs on the biomass to form a nanocomposite. The uptake of CEB was enhanced by the incorporation of ZnONPs on ACP. A faster CEB adsorption onto ZnO@ACP (120 min) compared to ACP (160 min) was observed. The Langmuir (R2 > 0.9898) and pseudo-second-order (R2 > 0.9518) models were most appropriate in the description of the adsorption process. The impregnation of ZnONPs onto the biomass enhanced the spontaneity of the process and displayed endothermic characteristics. High CEB desorption of 81.3% from the dye loaded ZnO@ACP as well as efficient reusability showed the efficacy of the prepared nanocomposite for CEB adsorption.

Abstract
A stiff zinc oxide/carbon foam (ZnO/CF) composite as a desirable adsorbent for heavy metal ions was innovatively designed and fabricated by loading ZnO particles into a carbon foam with capsule-like second-level macropores. The features of the resulting composite were characterized by FESEM, XRD, BET, FTIR, and XPS. The effects of adsorption parameters on the Pb(II), Cr(III), and Cu(II) ions removal were studied through batch experiments. Results show that the ZnO/CF composite possesses a second-level macroporous structure filled ZnO particles, which has both mesoporous structure and Zn-O-C bond with the strongly synergistic effect. And meanwhile, it has a relatively high compression strength of 2.18 MPa at a density of 0.18 g cm-3. The experimental maximum adsorption capacities for Pb(II), Cr(III), and Cu(II) ions reach 170.85 mg g-1, 168.74 mg g-1, and 104.61 mg g-1 with relatively high partition coefficients of 5.803 mg g-1 μM-1, 1.169 mg g-1 μM-1, and 0.648 mg g-1 μM-1, respectively. The experimental data are in accordance with Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Moreover, the composite still exhibits a good adsorption performance even after five cycles.

Abstract
Photocatalytic degradation technology (PDT), as one of the most important advanced oxidation technologies (AOTs) for environment-purifying, have drawn great attentions in recent years. It is highly desirable but remains challenging to design and synthesize catalysts with enhanced performance of photocatalysis. Herein, we develop a cation induced self-assembly strategy for the synthesis of two new organic-inorganic hybrid materials ({[BHMTA][Cu2(SCN)3]}n (1), {[BHMTA][Cu2I3]}n (2) BHMTA = N-benzylhexamethylenetetramine bromide). Owing to their unique structural and the desirable composition, the as-prepared organic-inorganic hybrid materials exhibit high efficiency and excellent cycling stability for degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible light irradiation. In addition, the effect factors for photocatalysis such as catalyst dosage, temperature, and pH were also investigated. The possible mechanism studied shows that superoxide radicals (O2-) and holes (h+) are the main active substances in the degradation process of TC. This work may shed light on preparing new organic-inorganic hybrid materials with promising photocatalysis performance for water purification.

Abstract
The preparation of a hybrid magnetic metal-organic framework (MOF)@carbon from a MOF-derived porous carbon is reported. MOF-74(Co) is used as a precursor for the synthesis of a magnetic carbon with homogeneous cobalt particle distribution (C-MOF-74) by a direct carbonization step. The cobalt particles present in the carbon are partially converted to zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-67 by reaction with 2-methylimidazole to obtain a core-shell ZIF-67@C-MOF-74. The effect of the reaction time and 2-methylimidazole concentration in the conversion procedure is studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning microscopy. Because of its high surface area, dual porosity, and magnetic properties, ZIF-67@C-MOF-74 exhibits high extraction capacity (180 mg g-1), fast adsorption rate, and excellent recyclability for Congo red adsorption. In addition, the prepared material shows high efficiency in the extraction of different phenolic compounds. The developed procedure can be easily adapted to different carbons and MOFs, thus potentially enabling the preparation of a wide number of new hybrid materials.

Abstract
Nowadays, the pollution in water resources has become a major concern, both environmentally and in perspective of human health. The bioaccumulation of pollutants, especially heavy metal ions through the food chain, poses a hazardous risk to humans and other living organisms. Nanomaterials and their composites have been recognized for their potential to resolve such problems. Herein, ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized via different microscopic/spectroscopic techniques. ZnO nanoparticles (i.e., 20 to 50 nm) were obtained in high yield via a facile chemical approach. The ratio of ZnO nanoparticles and activated carbon was optimized to achieve enhanced electrostatic interactions for the effective adsorption of cadmium ions (Cd2+). The adsorptive performance of the nanocomposite was further assessed in relation to several key parameters (e.g., contact time, solution pH, and adsorbent/adsorbate dosage). The nanocomposites (1 mg/ml) offered amaximum adsorption capacity of 96.2 mg/g for Cd2+ ions as confirmed through adsorption isotherms for a best interpretation of the adsorption phenomenon. The favourable adsorption capacity of the synthesized ZnO/activated carbon (9:1) nanocomposites supported their use as an efficient sorbent material in practical performance metrics (e.g., partition coefficient of 0.54 mg g-1μM-1) for the adsorption of Cd2+ ions.

Abstract
Antibiotics, as one of the emerging pollutants, are non-biodegradable compounds and long-term exposure to them may affect endocrine, hormonal, and genetic systems of human beings, representing a potential risk for both the environment and human health. The presence of antibiotics in surface waters and drinking water causes a global health concern. Many researches have stated that conventional methods used for wastewater treatment cannot fully remove antibiotic residues, and they may be detected in receiving waters. It is reported that nanoparticles could remove these compounds even at low concentration and under varied conditions of pH. The current study aimed to review the most relevant publications reporting the use of different nanoparticles to remove antibiotics from aqueous solutions. Moreover, meta-analysis was conducted on the results of some articles. Results of meta-analysis proved that different nanoparticles could remove antibiotics with an acceptable efficiency of 61%. Finally, this review revealed that nanoparticles are promising and efficient materials for degradation and removal of antibiotics from water and wastewater solutions. Furthermore, future perspectives of the new generation nanostructure adsorbents were discussed in this study.

Abstract
Most recently, the continuous deterioration of the aquatic environment triggered by both heavy metals and synthetic organic dyes has imparted serious threats to the ecosphere and drinking water safety. However, it is still extremely challenging to treat complex wastewater containing these two classes of pollutants via a one-step method owing to the significant differences in their physicochemical properties. In the current work, versatile magnetic MWCNTs decorated with PEI (denoted as MWCNTs@Fe3O4/PEI) was fabricated by a facile, rapid and reproducible strategy and applied to as a robust adsorbent for simultaneously removing methyl orange (MO) and Cr(vi) from aqueous solutions. The physicochemical properties of the as-designed nanohybrid were investigated using various analytical techniques, i.e. XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, VSM, zeta potential, etc. It was found that the surface charge properties of the MWCNTs as well as its dispersion in aqueous solution were greatly changed after the introduction of PEI molecules. The resulting nanohybrid exhibited attractive adsorption capabilities toward anionic MO and Cr(vi). In the perspective of a mono-pollutant system, the time-dependent adsorption process matched well with a pseudo-second-order kinetics equation, the adsorption isotherm data at r.t. were well fitted by a Langmuir model with maximum monolayer uptake capacity of 1727.6 mg g−1 for MO and 98.8 mg g−1 for Cr(vi), and the removal process of both pollutants was thermodynamically spontaneous and exothermic. In the MO-Cr(vi) binary system, the uptake of Cr(vi) by the as-prepared adsorbent was evidently enhanced by the presence of MO, while the coexisting Cr(vi) exerted a small negative effect on the sorption of MO; which was attributed to the different adsorption mechanisms of both pollutants on the as-recommend adsorbent. The much better adsorbing performance of the resulting MWCNTs@Fe3O4/PEI for MO and Cr(vi) than that of the pristine MWCNTs or the MWCNTs/Fe3O4 composite was mainly ascribed to the high surface area of the MWCNTs, the high density of protonated N-rich groups of PEI as well as the excellent dispersion and solubility of the resulting nanocomposites. Moreover, the obtained nanohybrids can be easily recovered after being used by a permanent magnet and still retained high stability and excellent reusability after consecutive adsorption–desorption cycles, implying its great potential in practical applications. Therefore, the as-fabricated MWCNTs@Fe3O4/PEI composite could be recommended as a promising candidate adsorbent for the simultaneous capture of MO and Cr(vi) from complex wastewater via multiple uptake mechanisms (e.g. electrostatic attraction, π–π stacking and hydrogen bonding). An MWCNTs@Fe3O4/PEI composite was facilely fabricated as a robust adsorbent for simultaneously capturing methyl orange (MO) and Cr(vi) from complex wastewater.![]()

Abstract
Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods were fabricated through hydrothermal route and employed for the adsorption of Cr(VI) ions from aqueous medium. Zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2.6H2O) was used as a zinc precursor and Triton-x 100 was used as a capping agent. As synthesized ZnO nanorods were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy (UV), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDX) techniques. The adsorption affecting parameters were investigated for maximum adsorption of Cr(VI) onto ZnO nanorods. The adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics were applied for adsorption mechanism evaluation. Maximum adsorption of Cr(VI) ions (250 mg/g) was achieved using 0.055 g/L ZnO dose at pH 2.0 for the contact time of 30 min. Pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm explained well the Cr(VI) adsorption onto ZnO nanorods. The Cr(VI) adsorption onto ZnO was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. In view of promising adsorption efficiency, ZnO nanorods could possibly be used for Cr(VI) ions removal from wastewater and also extendable for the adsorption of other heavy metals ions.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) has excellent physicochemical properties and is used in multiple areas. However, the potential toxicity and environmental problems associated with GO increase its risk to the ecological system. In this study, cement was employed as a coagulant to eliminate GO from aqueous solutions. The effects of the cement dosage, the contact time, and the concentration and volume of the aqueous GO solution on the GO coagulation capacity were investigated in detail. The results showed that the dosage of cement had a significant effect on the coagulation process, and coagulation equilibrium was achieved in less than 1 h. Compared to coagulants used to remove GO from water in other reports, cement exhibited an ultrahigh coagulation capacity of approximately 5981.2 mg/g with 0.4 mg/mL GO solution. The kinetic analysis showed that the GO removal behavior could be described by a pseudo second-order model. The in-depth mechanism of GO coagulation using cement included Ca2+-induced coagulation of GO and adsorption by the hydrated product of cement paste. The present study revealed that cement could be a very cheap and promising material for the efficient elimination of GO from aqueous solutions.
