Synthesis of recyclable and light-weight graphene oxide/chitosan/genipin sponges for the adsorption of diclofenac, triclosan, and microplastics. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 356:141956. [PMID: 38604514 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
Emerging micropollutants, such as pharmaceuticals and microplastics (MPs), have become a pressing water environmental concern. The aim of this study is to synthesize chitosan sponges using graphene oxide (GO) and genipin (GP) for the removal of pharmaceuticals (diclofenac (DCF) and triclosan (TCS)) and MPs, verify their adsorption mechanisms, evaluate the effects of temperature, pH, and salinity on their adsorption capacities, and determine their reusability. The GO5/CS/GP sponge exhibited a macroporous nature (porosity = 95%, density = 32.6 mg/cm3). GO and cross-linker GP enhanced the adsorption of DCF, TCS, and polystyrene (PS) MPs onto the CS sponges. The adsorption of DCF, TCS, and PS MPs involved multiple steps: surface diffusion and pore diffusion of the sponge. The adsorption isotherms demonstrated that Langmuir model was the most fitted well model to explain adsorption of TCS (qm = 7.08 mg/g) and PS MPs (qm = 7.42 mg/g) on GO5/CS/GP sponge, while Freundlich model suited for DCF adsorption (qm = 48.58 mg/g). DCF adsorption was thermodynamically spontaneous and endothermic; however, the adsorption of TCS and PS MPs was exothermic (283-313 K). The optimal pH was 5.5-7 due to the surface charge of the GO5/CS/GP sponge (pHzpc = 5.76) and ionization of DCF, TCS, and PS MPs. As the salinity increased, DCF removal efficiency drastically decreased due to the weakening of electrostatic interactions; however, TCS removal efficiency remained stable because TCS adsorption was mainly caused by hydrophobic and π-π interactions rather than electrostatic interaction. The removal of PS MPs was enhanced by the electrostatic screening effects of high Na+ ions. PS nanoplastics (average size = 26 nm) were removed by the GO5/CS/GP sponge at a rate of 73.0%, which was better than that of PS MPs (41.5%). In addition, the GO5/CS/GP sponge could be recycled over five adsorption-desorption cycles.

The relative dominance of surface oxygen content over pore properties in controlling adsorption and retrograde behavior of gaseous toluene over microporous carbon. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 906:167308. [PMID: 37774873 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167308] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/01/2023]
Abstract
The adsorption potential of activated carbon (AC) derived from macadamia nut shells (product code of Procarb-900: namely, AC-P) has been investigated using gaseous toluene as the target pollutant. The powder AC-P with high-microporosity (96%) and oxygen content (5.62%) exhibited very high adsorption capacity (214 mg·g-1) and partition coefficient (PC: 25 mol·kg-1·Pa-1) against 100 ppm (10 Pa) toluene at 99% breakthrough levels (1 atm dry N2). The factors governing toluene adsorption were explored with respect to the key variables such as surface functional groups, pore size distribution, sorbent bed mass (50, 100, and 150 mg), and particle size (i.e., 0.212-0.6 mm (powder AC: PAC)) vs. 0.6-2.36 mm (granular AC: GAC)). Accordingly, the adsorption process was physical, mainly due to the non-polar interactions (i.e., π-π interactions) between the adsorbent and adsorbate molecules. The high affinity of AC-P at low breakthrough levels was obtained through a combination of smaller particle size (PAC) and larger adsorbent mass (i.e., 150 mg) with the appearance of a very pronounced retrograde phenomenon (e.g., at < 1% breakthrough level). As such, toluene adsorption appeared to be affected more sensitively by particle size and adsorbent mass (especially at low breakthrough levels) than by high microporosity. Most importantly, the oxygen content of AC emerges as one of the key factors governing the maximum capacity, as the changes in pore volume are not crucial to explain the observed adsorption patterns of toluene.

Abstract
Triclocarban (TCC) is a widely used antibacterial ingredient possessing acute toxicity effects; however, its chronic toxicity and underlying molecular mechanisms remain uncertain. Herein, we demonstrated that chronic TCC exposure affects the growth and development of adult zebrafish through inducing an intestinal flora disorder in the gut. The imbalance of intestinal flora caused functional barriers within the intestinal-brain-gonadal axis. This resulted in a series of anomalous nerve and motor behaviors, and reproductive toxicity as reflected in pathological damage to parental gonads and F1-larval developmental malformations. Abnormal development of F1 larvae was attributed to apoptosis induced by the up-regulation of circSGOL1. This up-regulation affected the activity and localization of the hnRNP A1 protein, which then promoted overexpression of pro-apoptotic related genes that ultimately lead to apoptosis during early embryonic development. Overall, these novel findings systematically elucidated the TCC toxicity mechanism in parent-offspring dyads, and provide important theoretical guidance for early risk warning and control of chronic TCC toxicity.

Abstract
Triclosan (TCS) has been regarded as an emerging contaminant in aquatic systems, making its efficient removal of great significance. In this study, NPVMo@iPAF-1, with a specific surface area of 665 m2/g, was prepared by incorporating (NH4)5H6PV8Mo4O40 into porous aromatic frameworks (PAF). The maximum adsorption capacity of TCS on NPVMo@iPAF-1 reached 917.1 mg/g, as calculated from the Langmuir model. Fixed-bed columns packed with NPVMo@iPAF-1 were employed for TCS removal; the experiment data strongly correlated with the Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models under different operational conditions. Pore preservation, electrostatic effects, and the synergistic effect of π-π interactions contributed to the effective adsorption of TCS onto NPVMo@iPAF-1. The NPVMo@iPAF-1 fixed-bed column could be effectively regenerated through in-situ ozonation for more than 10 regeneration cycles. NPVMo@iPAF-1 turned out to be a promising adsorbent for removing TCS not only from pure water but also from reclaimed water and surface water samples.

Abstract
As a typically anthropogenic contaminant, the toxicity effects of triclosan (TCS) were investigated in-depth from the viewpoint of m6A-pre-miRNAs modification. Based on miRNAs high-throughput sequencing, we unravelled the underlying molecular mechanisms regarding TCS-induced lipid-metabolism functional disorders. TCS exposure caused severe lipid accumulation in 120 hpf zebrafish liver and reduced their locomotor activity. Both bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation verified that TCS targeted miR-27b up-regulation to further trigger lipid-metabolism disorders and developmental malformations, including shortened body length, yolk cysts, curved spine and delayed yolk absorption. TCS exposure and miR-27b upregulation both caused the enhanced levels of triglyceride and total cholesterol. Knockdown and overexpression of miR-27b regulated the expression changes of several functional genes related to downstream lipid metabolism of miR-27b, and most downstream target genes of miR-27b were suppressed and enriched in the AMPK signaling pathway. The experiments of pathway inhibitors and agonists further evidenced that TCS caused lipid-metabolism disorders by suppressing the AMPK signaling pathway. In upstream of miR-27b, TCS decreased total m6A-RNA level by targeting upregulation of demethylase and downregulation of methylase reader ythdf1. Molecular docking and ythdf1 siRNA interference further confirmed that TCS targeted the expression change of ythdf1. Under ythdf1 knockdown in upstream of miR-27b, both abnormal lipid metabolism and miR-27b upregulation highlighted that TCS-induced lipid-metabolism disorders were attributable to the decreasing m6A-RNA methylation levels in vivo. These perspectives provide an innovative idea for prevention and treatment of the lipid metabolism-related diseases and these findings open a novel avene for TCS's risk assessment and early intervention of the contaminant.

Abstract
In this work, the formation of carbon-based nanomaterials-fulvic acid (CNMs-FA) composites and their capacities for the adsorption and photodegradation of typical organic contaminants in aqueous solutions were investigated. The results suggested that the formation of CNMs-FA composites was dominated by adsorbing FA on CNMs via the physisorption process, which fit the pseudo-first-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model. The formed CNMs-FA composites were characterized by using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, scanning electron microscopy, and infrared spectroscopy techniques and further applied for examining their effects on the adsorption and photodegradation of selected organic contaminants in aqueous solutions. The adsorption of organic contaminants on CNMs-FA composites is mainly involved in hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions between organic contaminants and FA species adhering to CNMs. In addition, the CNMs-FA composites are able to promote the photosensitive degradation of organic contaminants due to the photogenerated reactive species including ROS and CNMs-3FA* under sunlight irradiation. This study provided a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the environmental behavior of CNMs in real natural surface water and clarified the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Triclosan (TCS) has been increased in the water during the COVID-19 pandemic because it cannot remove by conventional water treatment. In addition, it can accumulate in the human body over time through long-term exposure. Therefore, the occurrence of TCS in the water treatment plant (WTP) and tap water, and its human health risk assessment through tap water ingestion, dermal absorption, and inhalation routes in Isfahan, Iran, were investigated. Moreover, spatial regression methods were used for the prediction of water quality parameters, TCS concentration, and total hazard quotient (HQ). The average TCS concentration in the influent and effluent of WTP and tap water was 1.6, 1.4, and 0.4 μg/L, respectively. Conventional WTP has low efficiency in the removal of TCS (12.6%) from water. The average values of total HQ for males were 7.79×10-5, 4.97×10-4, and 4.97×10-5 and for females were 3.31×10-5, 2.11×10-4, and 2.11×10-5 based on RfDEPA, RfDMDH, and RfDRodricks, respectively that were in the low-risk levels (HQ<1). Furthermore, TCS concentration in tap water and the ingestion rate of drinking water had the highest effect on the risk of TCS exposure from tap water. The non-carcinogenic health risk of TCS in water was low. The results of this study may be useful for promoting WTP processes to remove emerging pollutants.

Abstract
Because triclosan (TCS) has been confirmed to cause severe neurotoxicity, it is urgent to disclose the underlying toxicity mechanisms at varying levels. TCS exposure resulted in a series of malformations in larval zebrafish, including reduced neurons, blood-vessel ablation and abnormal neurobehavior. Apoptosis staining and the upregulated expression of proapoptotic genes demonstrated that TCS induced neuronal apoptosis and neurotransmitter disorders. By integrating RT-qPCR analysis with the effects of pathway inhibitors and agonists, we found that TCS triggered abnormal regulation of neuron development-related functional genes, and suppressed the BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway. TCS inhibited total m6A-RNA modification level by activating the demethylase ALKBH5, and induced neurodevelopmental toxicity based on the knockdown experiments of alkbh5 and molecular docking. The main novelties of this study lies in: (1) based on specific staining and transgenic lines, the differential neurotoxicity effects of TCS were unravelled at individual, physiological, biochemical and molecular levels in vivo; (2) from a epigenetics viewpoint, the decreasing m6A methylation level was confirmed to be mediated by alkbh5 upregulation; and (3) both homology modeling and molecular docking evidenced the targeting action of TCS on ALKBH5 enzyme. These findings open a novel avene for TCS's risk assessment and early intervention of the contaminant-sourcing diseases.

Abstract
In this work, a novel composite of bacterial cellulose (BC) and expanded vermiculite (EVMT) composite was used to adsorb dyes and antibiotics. The pure BC and BC/EVMT composite were characterized using SEM, FTIR, XRD, XPS and TGA. The BC/EVMT composite exhibited a microporous structure, providing abundant adsorption sites for target pollutants. The adsorption performance of the BC/EVMT composite was investigated for the removal of methylene blue (MB) and sulfanilamide (SA) from an aqueous solution. The adsorption capacity of BC/ENVMT for MB increased with increasing pH, while the adsorption capacity for SA decreased with increasing pH. The equilibrium data were analyzed using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. As a result, the adsorption of MB and SA by the BC/EVMT composite was found to follow the Langmuir isotherm well, indicating a monolayer adsorption process on a homogeneous surface. The maximum adsorption capacity of the BC/EVMT composite was found to be 92.16 mg/g for MB and 71.53 mg/g for SA, respectively. The adsorption kinetics of both MB and SA on the BC/EVMT composite showed significant characteristics of a pseudo-second-order model. Considering the low cost and high efficiency of BC/EVMT, it is expected to be a promising adsorbent for the removal of dyes and antibiotics from wastewater. Thus, it can serve as a valuable tool in sewage treatment to improve water quality and reduce environmental pollution.

Abstract
The performance of electrochemical reduction is often enhanced by electrode modification techniques. However, there is a risk of microbial colonization on the electrode surface to form biofilms in the treatment of actual wastewater with modified electrodes. In this work, the effects of biofilm formation on modified electrodes with reduced graphene oxide (rGO), platinum/carbon (Pt/C), and carbon nanotube (CNT) were investigated in triclosan (TCS) degradation. With biofilm formation, the TCS degradation efficiencies of carbon cloth (CC), rGO@CC, Pt/C@CC, and CNT@CC decayed to 54.53 %, 59.77 %, 69.19 %, and 53.97 %, respectively, compared to the raw electrodes. Confocal laser scanning microscopy and microbial community analysis revealed that the difference in biofilm thickness and activity were the major influencing factors on the discrepant TCS degradation rather than the microbial community structure. The electrochemical performance tests showed that the biofilm formation increased the ohmic resistance by an order of magnitude in rGO@CC, Pt/C@CC, and CNT@CC, and the charge transfer resistance was increased by 2.45, 3.78, and 7.75 times, respectively. The dechlorination and hydrolysis governed the TCS degradation pathway in all electrolysis systems, and the toxicity of electrochemical reductive products was significantly decreased according to the Toxicity Estimation Software Tool analysis. This study presented a systematic assessment of the biofilm formation on modified electrodes in TCS reduction, and the undisputed experimental outcomes were obtained to enrich the knowledge of implementing modified electrodes for practical applications.

Abstract
Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) is one of common carbon nanomaterials, which is widely used in various fields. Triclosan is an antimicrobial agent added in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Extensive release of RGO and triclosan has posed potential risks to humans and the environment. The impact of RGO on the fate of triclosan in paddy soil is poorly known. 14C-Triclosan was employed in the present study to determine its distribution, degradation and mineralization in paddy soil mixed with RGO. Compared with the control, RGO (500 mg kg-1) significantly inhibited the mineralization of 14C-triclosan, and reduced its extractability by 6.5%. The bound residues of triclosan in RGO-contaminated soil (100 and 500 mg kg-1) were 2.9-13.3% greater than that of the control at 112 d. RGO also accelerated the dissipation of triclosan, and its degradation products in both treatments and controls were tentatively identified via 14C-labeling method and LC-Q-TOF-MS analysis. The concentrations of the major metabolites (methyl-triclosan and dechlorinated dimer) were inversely related with the concentrations of RGO. RGO at 50 mg kg-1 or lower had a negligible effect on the degradation of triclosan in paddy soil. Triclosan was strongly adsorbed onto RGO-contaminated soil, which may play a vital role in the fate of triclosan in RGO-contaminated paddy soil. Interestingly, RGO had little effect on triclosan-degrading bacteria via soil microbial community analysis. This study helps understand the effects of RGO on the transformation of triclosan in paddy soil, which is of significance to evaluate the environmental risk of triclosan in RGO-contaminated soil.

Abstract
Hazardous micropollutants (MPs) such as pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), pesticides and personal care products (PCPs) have emerged as a critical concern nowadays for acquiring clean and safe water resources. In the last few decades, innumerable water treatment methods involving biodegradation, adsorption and advanced oxidation process have been utilized for the removal of MPs. Of these methods, membrane technology has proven to be a promising technique for the removal of MPs due to its sustainability, high efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Herein, the aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive review regarding the MPs rejection mechanisms of reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes after incorporation of nanomaterials and also surface modification atop the PA layer. Size exclusion, adsorption and electrostatic charge interaction mechanisms play important roles in governing the MP removal rate. In addition, this review also discusses the state-of-the-art research on the surface modification of thin film composite (TFC) membrane and nanomaterials-incorporated thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane in enhancing MPs removal performance. It is hoped that this review can provide insights in modifying the physicochemical properties of NF and RO membranes to achieve better performance in water treatment process, particularly for the removal of emerging hazardous substances.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has emerged as an extraordinary and rapidly developing discipline of science. It has remolded the fate of the whole world by providing diverse horizons in different fields. Nanomaterials are appealing because of their incredibly small size and large surface area. Apart from the naturally occurring nanomaterials, synthetic nanomaterials are being prepared on large scales with different sizes and properties. Such nanomaterials are being utilized as an innovative and green approach in multiple fields. To expand the applications and enhance the properties of the nanomaterials, their functionalization and engineering are being performed on a massive scale. The functionalization helps to add to the existing useful properties of the nanomaterials, hence broadening the scope of their utilization. A large class of covalent and non-covalent functionalized nanomaterials (FNMs) including carbons, metal oxides, quantum dots, and composites of these materials with other organic or inorganic materials are being synthesized and used for environmental remediation applications including wastewater treatment. This review summarizes recent advances in the synthesis, reporting techniques, and applications of FNMs in adsorptive and photocatalytic removal of pollutants from wastewater. Future prospects are also examined, along with suggestions for attaining massive benefits in the areas of FNMs.

Abstract
Industrial grade carbon black was pretreated and used for adsorption of triclosan (TCS) in water, and its adsorption performance was investigated by static adsorption experiments and fixed bed adsorption experiments. The effects of pH and temperature on the adsorption capacity were investigated and the adsorption performance of carbon black and activated carbon on TCS was compared. As the pH or temperature decreased, the adsorption of TCS by carbon black increased. Carbon black had a maximum adsorption capacity of 18.62 mg/g on TCS, which was somewhat lower than the activated carbon. Furthermore, the breakthrough time increased with increasing bed height, decreasing flow rate and decreasing initial TCS concentration in the fixed bed adsorption studies. The breakthrough time was 14.33 days at a bed depth of 4.2 mm, a flow rate of 2 mL/min, and an initial TCS concentration of 0.5 mg/L TCS. The model from The Bed Depth Service Time (BDST) was well-fitting.

Abstract
Using current wastewater treatment technologies, it can be challenging to remove the emerging contaminants (ECs) present in kitchen wastewater (KW) of complex compositions and high organic content. In this study, biochar, derived from straw, was modified as an adsorbent to remove ECs such as bisphenol A (BPA), tetracycline (TC) and ofloxacin (OFL) from a complex KW system. An alkali-modified biochar, having larger specific surface areas and stronger hydrophobicity, was found to exhibit a higher adsorption capacity, with more than 95% of the target ECs being removed. Indeed, in a static operation mode, the alkali-modified biochar had maximum adsorption capacities of 71.43, 101.01 and 54.05 mg/g for BPA, TC, and OFL, respectively. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms models indicated that the adsorption process was controlled by chemisorption, as well as the monolayer adsorption of contaminants onto the external and internal surfaces of the alkali-modified biochar. The adsorption of TC and OFL was significantly affected by the initial pH values of KW. However, the presence of different environmental factors (COD, NH4+ and PO43-) had little effects on the adsorption of the contaminants. The alkali-modified biochar was further tested in a fixed-bed column where the maximum dynamic adsorption capacities for BPA and OFL were 55 and 45 mg/g, representing about 75% and 83% of the static saturated adsorption capacities. These findings can be of major significance for the application of alkali-modified biochar in the removal of ECs from complex KW systems.

Abstract
The present research describes the synthesis of new nanomagnetic activated carbon material with high magnetization, and high surface area prepared in a single pyrolysis step that is used for the carbonization, activation, and magnetization of the produced material. The pyrolysis step of tucumã seed was carried out in a conventional tubular oven at 600 °C under N2-flow. It was prepared three magnetic carbons MT-1.5, MT-2.0, MT-2.5, that corresponds to the proportion of biomass: ZnCl2 always 1:1 and varying the proportion of NiCl2 of 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5, respectively. These magnetic nanocomposites were characterized by Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance, CHN/O elemental analysis, modified Boehm titration, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms; and pHpzc. All the materials obtained presented Ni particles with an average crystallite size of less than 33 nm. The MT-2.0 was employed for the removal of nicotinamide and propranolol from aqueous solutions. Based on Liu isotherm, the Qmax was 199.3 and 335.4 mg g-1 for nicotinamide and propranolol, respectively. MT-2.0 was used to treat simulated pharmaceutical industry effluents attaining removal of all organic compounds attaining up to 99.1 % of removal.

Abstract
Herein, a novel Fe3+-stabilized magnetic polydopamine composite (Fe3O4/PDA-Fe3+) was facilely constructed, systematically characterized, and subsequently applied for the first time as a versatile adsorbent for treatment of Methylene blue (MB) in complex wastewater. Results showed that as-prepared material had prominent adsorption ability toward MB in its single dye solution over a wide pH range (3-10) with qmax value of 608.8 mg/g at 318 K. More interestingly, MB could be selectively captured by resulting adsorbent from mixed dye solutions (MB-cationic dye and MB-anionic dye) and complex aqueous solution with high ionic strength up to 0.5 mol/L NaCl. It was eventually revealed that the enhanced and selective adsorption of MB by as-resultant adsorbent was due to the synergistic effects between multiple uptake mechanisms. What's more, its adsorption efficiency toward MB in simulated wastewater still maintained higher than 80 % of its original uptake performance after several runs of adsorption-desorption. Additionally, it exhibited more superior uptake performance toward MB than commercial powder activated carbon (PAC) in column adsorption system. Thus, the outstanding sorption ability, unique capture selectivity, as well as excellent stability and recyclability for model wastewater endow it a promising candidate adsorbent for selective adsorption and separation of MB from complex wastewater.

Dynamic Adsorption of Sulfamethoxazole from Aqueous Solution by Lignite Activated Coke. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13071785. [PMID: 32290268 PMCID: PMC7179028 DOI: 10.3390/ma13071785] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2020] [Revised: 04/04/2020] [Accepted: 04/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
In this paper, lignite activated coke was used as adsorbent for dynamic column adsorption experiments to remove sulfamethoxazole from aqueous solution. The effects of column height, flow rate, initial concentration, pH and humic acids concentration on the dynamic adsorption penetration curve and mass transfer zone length were investigated. Results showed penetration time would be prolonged significantly by increasing column height, while inhibited by the increasement of initial concentration and flow rate. Thomas and Yoon-Nelson model and the Adams-Bohart model were used to elucidate the adsorption mechanism, high coefficients of R2 > 0.95 were obtained in Thomas model for most of the adsorption entries, which revealed that the adsorption rate could probably be dominated by mass transfer at the interface. The average change rates of mass transfer zone length to the changes of each parameters, such as initial concentration, the column height, the flow rate and pH, were 0.0003, 0.6474, 0.0076, 0.0073 and 0.0191 respectively, revealed that column height may play a vital role in dynamic column adsorption efficiency. These findings suggested that lignite activated coke can effectively remove sulfamethoxazole contaminants from wastewater in practice.
