Scavenging microplastics and heavy metals from water using jujube waste-derived biochar in fixed-bed column trials. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 335:122319. [PMID: 37544401 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023]
Abstract
Extensive production and utilization of plastic products have resulted in the generation of microplastics (MPs), subsequently polluting the environment. The efficiency of biochars (BCs) derived from jujube (Ziziphus jujube L.) biomass (300 °C and 700 °C) for nylon (NYL) and polyethylene (PE) removal from contaminated water was explored in fixed-bed column trials. The optimum pH for the removal of both MPs was found 7. Both of the produced biochars demonstrated >99% removal of the MPs, while the sand filter exhibited a maximum of 78% removal of MPs. BC produced at 700 °C (BC700) showed 33-fold higher MPs retention, while BC produced at 300 °C (BC300) exhibited 20-fold higher retention, as compared to sand filters, indicating the higher efficiency of BC produced at higher pyrolysis temperature. Entrapment into the pores, entanglement with flaky structures of the BCs, and electrostatics interactions were the major mechanism for MPs retention in BCs. The efficiency of MPs-amended BCs was further explored for the removal of Pb(II) and Cd(II) in fixed-bed column trials. BC700 amended with PE and NYL exhibited the highest 50% breakthrough time (2114.23 and 2024.61 min, respectively, for Pb(II) removal and 2107.92 and 1965.19 min, respectively, for Cd(II) removal), as compared to sand filters (38.07 and 60.49 min for Pb(II) and Cd(II) removal, respectively). Thomas model predicted highest adsorption capacity was exhibited by BC700 amended with PE (584.34 and 552.80 mg g-1, for Pb(II) and Cd(II) removal, respectively), followed by BC700 amended with NYL (557.65 and 210.59 mg g-1 for Pb(II) and Cd(II) removal, respectively). Therefore, jujube waste-derived BCs could be used as efficient adsorbents to remove PE and NYL from contaminated water, while MPs-loaded BCs can further be utilized for higher adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) from contaminated aqueous media. These findings suggest that BC could be used as an efficient adsorbent to remove the co-existing MPs-metals ions from the environment on a sustainable basis.

Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28041541. [PMID: 36838529 PMCID: PMC9962683 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28041541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Developing a simple and efficient method for removing organic micropollutants from aqueous systems is crucial. The present study describes the preparation and application, for the first time, of novel MXene-decorated bismuth ferrite nanocomposites (BiFeO3/MXene) for the removal of six sulfonamides including sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfathiazole (STZ), sulfamerazine (SMZ), sulfamethazine (SMTZ), sulfamethoxazole (SMXZ) and sulfisoxazole (SXZ). The properties of BiFeO3/MXene are enhanced by the presence of BiFeO3 nanoparticles, which provide a large surface area to facilitate the removal of sulfonamides. More importantly, BiFeO3/MXene composites demonstrated remarkable sulfonamide adsorption capabilities compared to pristine MXene, which is due to the synergistic effect between BiFeO3 and MXene. The kinetics and isotherm models of sulfonamide adsorption on BiFeO3/MXene are consistent with a pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir model. BiFeO3/MXene had appreciable reusability after five adsorption-desorption cycles. Furthermore, BiFeO3/MXene is stable and retains its original properties upon desorption. The present work provides an effective method for eliminating sulfonamides from water by exploiting the excellent texture properties of BiFeO3/MXene.

Abstract
In practical engineering applications, silt is prone to liquefaction and quicksand. This paper mainly studies the improvement effects of urease, lignin and their mixture on the strength and liquefaction resistance of silt. Based on the results and phenomena of an unconfined compressive strength and dynamic triaxial test, the improvement effects of the compressive strength, deformation resistance and liquefaction resistance of silt under different improvement schemes are analyzed, and the optimal values of the cement or lignin when enzyme-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (EICP) technology, lignin alone or EICP and lignin are obtained. The results show that the optimum concentration of the constant temperature and humidity sample (referred to as the constant humidity sample) and the constant temperature immersion sample (referred to as the soaking sample) of urease in the unconfined compressive strength test is 1.0 mol/L, and the compressive strength of the soaking sample is 4.9 MPa, which is 1.56 times that of the constant humidity sample; the optimum addition ratio of the lignin-improved constant humidity sample is 3%, and its compressive strength is 2.07 Mpa; the optimum addition ratio of the samples immersed at constant temperature is 4%, and the compressive strength is 3.05 MPa; when urease combines with lignin to improve silt, 4% is the best lignin addition ratio, the compressive strength of the constant humidity sample reaches 1.57 Mpa and the compressive strength of the soaking sample reaches 3.75 MPa; in the dynamic triaxial multi-stage cyclic load test, all samples were cured at constant humidity sample, and in the urease modified silt scheme, 1.0 mol/L was the optimal cement concentration; in the scheme of improving silt with lignin, 3% is the optimal addition ratio; when 1.25 mol/L cementation solution plus urease crude extract is combined with different ratios of lignin in the experimental scheme, 3% is the best lignin addition ratio.

Abstract
Each year, Asia produces an estimated 350 million tonnes of agricultural residues. According to Ministry of Power projections, numerous tonnes of such waste are discarded each year, in addition to being used as green manure. The methodology used to convert agricultural waste into the most valuable biochar, as well as its critical physical and chemical properties, were described in this review. This review also investigates the beneficial effects of bio and phytoremediation on metal(lloid)-contaminated soil. Agriculture biomass-based biochar is an intriguing organic residue material with the potential to be used as a responsible solution for metal(lloid) polluted soil remediation and soil improvement. Plants with faster growth and higher biomass can meet massive remediation demands. Recent research shows significant progress in agricultural biomass-based biomass conversion as biochar, as well as understanding the frameworks of metal(lloid) accumulation and mobility in plants used for metal(lloid) polluted soil remediation. Biochar made from various agricultural biomass can promote native plant growth and improve phytoremediation efficiency in polluted soil with metal(lloid)s. This carbon-enriched biochar promotes native microbial activity by neutralising pH and providing adequate nutrition. Thus, this review critically examines the feasibility of converting agricultural waste biomass into biochar, as well as the impact on plant and microbe remediation potential in metal(lloid)s polluted soil.

Abstract
In this research, the influence of application mode (capping and amendment) on the control of cadmium (Cd) liberation from sediment by apatite/calcite mixture and its phosphorus release risk were investigated. The results showed that calcite addition had a limited effect on the speciation of Cd in sediment, but apatite addition had a significant impact on the fractionation of Cd in sediment. Apatite amendment could effectively immobilize the most readily mobilized Cd by transferring the acid-soluble fraction to the reducible and residual fractions. Apatite addition also could effectively reduce the concentration of toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP)-leachable Cd in sediment, and apatite had a much higher reduction efficiency of TCLP-leachable Cd than calcite. Apatite/calcite mixture capping could reduce the risk of Cd liberation from sediment into the overlying water, and the controlling efficiency of apatite/calcite mixture capping was higher than that of apatite/calcite mixture amendment. The effect of apatite/calcite mixture addition on the concentration of reactive soluble phosphorus (SRP) in the overlying water was limited. The introduction of calcite into the apatite capping layer could lower the risk of phosphorus release from apatite to the overlying water as compared to single apatite capping. However, the apatite/calcite mixture capping layer still had a relatively high risk of phosphorus liberation into the overlying water. Results of this work suggest that apatite/calcite mixture has a high potential to be used as a capping material to control Cd release from sediment from the perspective of controlling efficiency and application convenience.

Abstract
Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) was successfully adopted to remove organic pollutants in water, but it was rarely applied to soil remediation. Sulfathiazole (STZ) is a widely used sulfonamide antibiotic, while its residues have negative impacts on soil. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to apply PMS for the treatment of STZ-contaminated soil. The results showed that 4 mM PMS can degrade 96.54% of STZ in the soil within 60 min. Quenching and probe experiments revealed that singlet oxygen rather than hydroxyl radical and sulfate radical was the predominant reactive oxygen species responsible for STZ removal. The presence of Cl-, SO42-, NO3-, Fe3+, and HA enhanced the degradation efficiency of STZ, while HCO3- and Mn2+ presented an obstructive effect on STZ elimination at high concentrations. Different chemical extraction procedures were used to determine the bioavailability of the heavy metals. PMS oxidation process caused an unnoticeable influence of the concentrations of heavy metals except for the increase of Mn concentration and the decrease of Ba concentration. Moreover, the germination rate and stem length of wheat and radish both increased, indicating PMS oxidation reduced the toxicity of STZ, and the increase of Mn concentration did not cause a negative impact on their growth. Besides, the results of XRD and FTIR tests showed oxidation processes have negligible impacts on soil structure and composition. Based on intermediates identified, STZ degradation pathways in the PMS system were proposed. According to the results of this study, using PMS alone to repair STZ-contaminated soil is a relatively feasible, safe, and environmentally friendly technology.

Abstract
Aquatic pollution caused by antibiotics poses a significant threat to human health and the ecosystem. Inspired from "Emmental Cheese" that owns lots of natural pores, we here fabricated a hierarchical cheese-like porous Spirulina residue biochar (KSBC) activated by KHCO3 for efficiently boosting the removal of sulfathiazole (STZ). Through learning form nature that the CO2 produced by bacteria can serve as the natural pore maker (like cheese-making), KHCO3 was thus selected as the gas generating agent in this study. The effect of adding KHCO3 on the surface properties of KSBC was comprehensively investigated. Benefiting from the activation, the KSBC with the mass ratio of 2:1 (2K-SBC) possessed the largest specific surface areas (1100 m2 g-1), which was approximately 81 times that of the original (not activated) Spirulina residue biochar (SBC) (13.56 m2 g-1). Moreover, 2K-SBC exhibited the maximum adsorption capacity for STZ (218.4 mg g-1), dramatically higher than the SBC (25.78 mg g-1). The adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms exhibited that the adsorption behavior of 2K-SBC for STZ was consistent with the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models. Additionally, the adsorption thermodynamics revealed that the adsorption of STZ on 2K-SBC was spontaneous and exothermic. The pore-filling and electrostatic interaction were considered the main mechanism for the adsorption of STZ on 2K-SBC, whereas the π-π electron donor-acceptor (EDA) interaction and hydrogen bond would also partially contribute to the adsorption process.

Abstract
An iron-nickel bimetallic oxide porous graphene composite material (Fe/Ni-PG) was prepared by a simple partial combustion method, which can be used to effectively remove sulfonamides (SAs) from an aqueous solution. The adsorption performance of Fe/Ni-PG, Fe-PG, and Ni-PG on six kinds of SAs was compared, and the influence of time, temperature, pH, and initial concentration of SAs on the adsorption behavior of SAs of Fe/Ni-PG in an aqueous solution was studied. The adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics exhibited that the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics model can describe the adsorption isotherm and kinetics. The maximum adsorption capacities of sulfadiazine (SD), sulfamerazine (SM), sulfamethazine (SDM), sulfathiazole (STZ), sulfapyridine (SPD), and sulfisoxazole (SIZ) calculated by the Langmuir model were 26.3, 50.3, 42.2, 27.3, 34.5, and 41.7 mg/g, respectively, which exceeded those of most reported adsorbents. In the adsorption process, hydrogen bonding, π-π electron donor-acceptor, electrostatic interaction, and bimetallic synergies play a major role, and the entire adsorption process is spontaneously endothermic. In addition, the material has excellent stability, and the Fe/Ni-PG after desorption is consistent with the raw material. This work provides a favorable way for the removal of SAs in the environment.

Abstract
Vertical translocation/leaching of sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) through manure-amended sandy loam soil and significance of biochar application on SMZ retention were investigated in this study. Soil was filled in columns and amended with manure spiked with 13.75 mg kg-1 (S1), 27.5 mg kg-1 (S2), and 55 mg kg-1 (S3) of SMZ. Jujube (Ziziphus jujube L.) wood waste was transformed into biochar and mixed with S3 at 0.5% (S3-B1), 1.0% (S3-B2), and 2.0% (S3-B3) ratio. Cumulative SMZ leaching was lowest at pH 3.0, which increased by 16% and 34% at pH 5.0 and 7.0, respectively. A quicker release and translocation of SMZ from manure occurred during the initial 40 h, which gradually reduced over time. Intraparticle diffusion and Elovich kinetic models were the best fitted to leaching data. S3 exhibited the highest release and vertical translocation of SMZ, followed by S2, and S1; however, SMZ leaching was reduced by more than twofold in S3-B3. At pH 3.0, 2.0% biochar resulted in 99% reduction in SMZ leaching within 72 h, while 1.0% and 0.5% biochar applications reduced SMZ leaching to 99% within 120 and 144 h, respectively, in S3. The higher SMZ retention onto biochar could be due to electrostatic interactions, H-bonding, and π-π electron donor acceptor interactions.
