Abstract
Contamination of water bodies with heavy metals poses a significant threat to human health and the environment, requiring the development of effective treatment techniques. In this context, aluminosilicates emerge as promising sorbents due to their cost-effectiveness and natural abundance. This review provides a clear, in-depth, and comprehensive description of the structure, properties, and characteristics of aluminosilicates, supporting their application as adsorbents and highlighting their diversity and adaptability to different matrices and analytes. Furthermore, the functionalization of these materials is thoroughly addressed, detailing the techniques currently used, exposing the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, and establishing comparisons and evaluations of the performances of various functionalized aluminosilicates in the extraction of heavy metals in aqueous matrices. This work aims not only to comprehensively review numerous studies from recent years but also to identify trends in the study of such materials and inspire future research and applications in the field of contaminant removal using aluminosilicates.

Novel High-Performance Functionalized and Grafted Bio-Based Chitosan Adsorbents for the Efficient and Selective Removal of Toxic Heavy Metals from Contaminated Water. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1718. [PMID: 38932067 PMCID: PMC11207307 DOI: 10.3390/polym16121718] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Novel functionalized and/or grafted crosslinked chitosan adsorbents were synthesized and used to remove several toxic heavy metal ions such as nickel, lead, chromium, and cadmium ions from contaminated water. The chitosan biopolymer was functionalized by maleic anhydride (CS_MA) acting also as a crosslinking agent. Glutaraldehyde-crosslinked chitosan (CS_GA) grafted with poly(methyl methacrylate) (CS_MMA) was also synthesized. The synthesized adsorbents were characterized using a variety of analytical techniques such as SEM, TGA, and FTIR, which confirmed their chemical structures and morphology. The adsorption capacity of the adsorbents was analyzed under various conditions of contact time, adsorbent dose, initial concertation, temperature, and pH and evaluated against those of pure chitosan (CS) and the crosslinked chitosan(CS_GA). The ultimate removal conditions were 0.5 g/100 mL adsorbent dose, an initial metal ion concentration of 50 ppm, a temperature of 45 °C, and pH 9. CS_MMA had the highest removal percentages for all metal ions, ranging from 92% to 94%. The adsorption was demonstrated to fit a pseudo-first-order model that followed a Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The results highlight the capacity of the synthesized polymers to efficiently remove major toxic contaminants at low cost from contaminated water, present especially in low-income areas, without harming the environment.

Abstract
A dual-mode colorimetric and fluorimetric probe was successfully established based on silver/copper bimetallic nanoparticles (AgCu-BNPs). The AgCu-BNPs were confirmed as individually bimetallic nanoparticles with a mean size of 7.7 ± 0.2 nm, as characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Intriguingly, the AgCu-BNPs possess both surface plasmon resonances (SPR) and fluorescence emission. AgCu-BNPs emanate bright blue fluorescence with optical emission centered at 442 nm with high quantum yield of 30.3%, and AgCu-BNPs were attenuated or even quenched by Hg2+ via both static and dynamic quenching, coincidently accompanied by a visible color change, which endow AgCu-BNPs a unique utility as dual-mode colorimetric and fluorimetric probes. The detection limits as low as 89 nM and 9 nM were determined by dual-mode of AgCu-BNPs, respectively. The recovery rates in real samples were found to be 97.3-118.8%, and 89.5-112.7% by colorimetric and fluorescent methods separately, demonstrates the good environmental tolerance of the dual-mode probe.

Abstract
Environment pollution is getting serious and various poisonous contaminants with chemical durability, biotoxicity and bioaccumulation have been widespreadly discovered in municipal wastewaters and surface water. The detection and removal of pollutants show great significance for the protection of human health and other organisms. Due to its distinctive physical and chemical properties, perylene diimide (PDI) has received widespread attention from different research fields, especially in the area of environment. In this review, a comprehensive summary of the development of PDI-based materials in fluorescence detection and advanced oxidation technology for environment was introduced. Firstly, we chiefly presented the recent progress about the synthesis of PDI and PDI-based nanomaterials. Then, their application in fluorescence detection for environment was presented and categorized, principally including the detection of heavy metal ions, harmful anions and organic contaminants in the environment. In addition, the application of PDI and PDI-based materials in different advanced oxidation technologies for environment, such as photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, Fenton and Fenton-like reaction and persulfate activation, was also summarized. At last, the challenges and future prospects of PDI-based materials in environmental applications were discussed. This review focuses on presenting the practical applications of PDI and PDI-based materials as fluorescent probes or catalysts (especially photocatalysts) in the detection of hazardous substances or catalytic elimination of organic contaminants. The contents are aimed at supplying the researchers with a deeper understanding of PDI and PDI-based materials and encouraging their further development in environmental applications.

Construction of β-Bi 2O 3/Bi 2O 2CO 3 heterojunction photocatalyst for deep understanding the importance of separation efficiency and valence band position. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 401:123262. [PMID: 32629345 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.123262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Revised: 05/21/2020] [Accepted: 06/17/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Constructing heterojunctions would result in the change of valence band position, which is an important factor determining the oxidative ability of photo-induced holes, has received scant attention. In this paper, β-Bi2O3/Bi2O2CO3 composites with different ratios were obtained via ionic-liquid-assisted solvothermal and in-situ calcination processes. UV-vis DRS, Mott-Schottky test, and Kelvin probe measurement showed the change of band gaps of β-Bi2O3 and Bi2O2CO3 before and after heterojunction formation. SPV, ESR, photocurrent, and scavenger experiments identified the separation efficiency of photo-generated electrons and holes, as well as the active species generated in the photocatalytic process. The photocatalytic mechanism was investigated by the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) upon visible-light and simulated sunlight, respectively. The results demonstrated that β-Bi2O3/Bi2O2CO3 heterojunctions possessed enhanced separation efficiency and higher degradation ability than the individuals under visible-light irradiation due to effective electron transfer. However, lower performance under simulated sunlight was observed, although their separation efficiency remained high. The decisive reason for this was that the up-shift of valence band of Bi2O2CO3 induced by hybridization and the transition of holes from VB of Bi2O2CO3 to that of β-Bi2O3 with more negative potential decreased the oxidative ability of holes, which surpassed the positive influence of enhanced separation efficiency.

Photocatalytic decontamination of tetracycline and Cr(VI) by a novel α-FeOOH/FeS 2 photocatalyst: One-pot hydrothermal synthesis and Z-scheme reaction mechanism insight. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 397:122580.

Abstract
Tetracycline and Cr(VI) as non-biodegradable environmental contaminants have attracted increasing attention because of their chronic toxicity. In this regard, the environmentally friendly Z-scheme photocatalytic decontamination system has been widely used for contaminant treatment. Herein, a novel 3D Z-scheme α-FeOOH/FeS2 composite photocatalyst was successfully synthesized for the first time via a simple one-pot hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) analyses and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) demonstrated that the O component of the heterogeneous nanostructures formed by the FeOFe linkages in α-FeOOH was replaced by S to generate FeSFe linkages in the resulting FeS2. As expected, the novel 3D Z-scheme α-FeOOH/FeS2 composites exhibited remarkable photocatalytic activity for Cr(VI) reduction and tetracycline degradation compared to pure α-FeOOH. Photoluminesence (PL) measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations, suggested that the enhanced photocatalytic activity of the Z-scheme α-FeOOH/FeS2 composite can be attributed to the improved photo-absorption properties and the effective separation of photo-induced charge carriers caused by the Z-scheme system of the as-prepared 3D α-FeOOH/FeS2 composites. Thus, this work may facilitate the effective design of α-FeOOH-based photocatalysts.
