Zinc oxide decorated plantain peel activated carbon for adsorption of cationic malachite green dye: Mechanistic, kinetics and thermodynamics modeling. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 252:119046. [PMID: 38704004 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119046] [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: 02/10/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
Reports have shown that malachite green (MG) dye causes various hormonal disruptions and health hazards, hence, its removal from water has become a top priority. In this work, zinc oxide decorated plantain peels activated carbon (ZnO@PPAC) was developed via a hydrothermal approach. Physicochemical characterization of the ZnO@PPAC nanocomposite with a 205.2 m2/g surface area, porosity of 614.68 and dominance of acidic sites from Boehm study established the potency of ZnO@PPAC. Spectroscopic characterization of ZnO@PPAC vis-a-viz thermal gravimetric analyses (TGA), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Powdered X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy and High Resolution - Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM) depict the thermal stability via phase transition, functional group, crystallinity with interspatial spacing, morphology and spherical and nano-rod-like shape of the ZnO@PPAC heterostructure with electron mapping respectively. Adsorption of malachite green dye onto ZnO@PPAC nanocomposite was influenced by different operational parameters. Equilibrium data across the three temperatures (303, 313, and 323 K) were most favorably described by Freundlich indicating the ZnO@PPAC heterogeneous nature. 77.517 mg/g monolayer capacity of ZnO@PPAC was superior to other adsorbents compared. Pore-diffusion predominated in the mechanism and kinetic data best fit the pseudo-second-order. Thermodynamics studies showed the feasible, endothermic, and spontaneous nature of the sequestration. The ZnO@PPAC was therefore shown to be a sustainable and efficient material for MG dye uptake and hereby endorsed for the treatment of industrial effluent.

Abstract
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a class of artificially synthesised organic compounds extensively used in both industrial and consumer products owing to their unique characteristics. However, their persistence in the environment and potential risk to health have raised serious global concerns. Therefore, developing effective techniques to identify, eliminate, and degrade these pollutants in water are crucial. Owing to their high surface area, magnetic responsiveness, redox sensitivity, and ease of separation, magnetic materials have been considered for the treatment of PFASs from water in recent years. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent use of magnetic materials for the detection, removal, and degradation of PFASs in aqueous solutions. First, the use of magnetic materials for sensitive and precise detection of PFASs is addressed. Second, the adsorption of PFASs using magnetic materials is discussed. Several magnetic materials, including iron oxides, ferrites, and magnetic carbon composites, have been explored as efficient adsorbents for PFASs removal from water. Surface modification, functionalization, and composite fabrication have been employed to improve the adsorption effectiveness and selectivity of magnetic materials for PFASs. The final section of this review focuses on the advanced oxidation for PFASs using magnetic materials. This review suggests that magnetic materials have demonstrated considerable potential for use in various environmental remediation applications, as well as in the treatment of PFASs-contaminated water.

Overcoming the structure deficiency of nanodrug coated with tannic acid shell through phenolic hydroxyl protection strategy for Alzheimer's disease combination treatment. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 154:213651. [PMID: 37827021 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213651] [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: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023]
Abstract
Tannic acid (TA) shell is of great interest for nanodrug design due to its versatile application such as antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory. However, evidence is emerging that TA air oxidation in storage stage and unfavorable interactions of TA with electrolyte or protein in drug delivery could bring great challenge for the structure stability of nanodrug. In this study, a smart TA shell of nanomicelles was constructed through phenolic hydroxyl protection strategy, and the antioxidant capacity of nanomicelles maintain stable after 24 days storage. The phenolic hydroxyl protective tannic acid micelles (PHPTA micelles) show excellent performance for combination delivery of azoramide (Azo), dantrolene (Dan), Trazodone (Tra) in accelerated senescence (SAMP8) mice. This study may pave the way for the fabrication of nanodrugs with stable and smart TA shell for oxidative stress relevant diseases.

Abstract
Coke used as a filler to treat imidacloprid (IMI) wastewater by both adsorption biological coupling and microbial electrolysis cells (MEC)-adsorption biological coupling technologies, the removal efficiencies on pollutions in wastewater containing IMI were investigated, and the key functional genes related to IMI degradation pathways were also revealed. Results showed that the removal rates of COD, ammonia nitrogen, TP, and IMI under the adsorption biological coupling treatment and MEC-adsorption biological coupling treatment were 94.61-95.54%, 93.37-95.79%, 73.69-83.80%, and 100%, respectively. MEC increased the relative abundance of Proteobacteria by 9.01% and transformed the dominant bacteria from Lysobacter and Reyranella to Brevundimonas and Aquincola. Moreover, MEC up-regulated the abundance of the coding genes PK (9.30%), narG (2.26%), pstS (3.63%), and phnD (1.32%), and converted the IMI degradation products to smaller molecular weight C6H8N2 and C6H6ClNO. This study provided an important reference information for efficient treatment of IMI wastewater using the MEC-adsorption biological coupling technology.

Abstract
Bentonite-magnetite nanocomposite adsorbent (BMNC) was made and investigated for its adsorption removal of Cr(VI) from an aqueous solution. This adsorbent was prepared by the coprecipitation method from sodium bentonite (BNa) with iron chloride solution at controlled pH and under an inert atmosphere. These adsorbents were characterized by atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Particle size of BMNC was in the range of 15 to 95 nm as per DLS. The intercalation of magnetite nanoparticles onto the bentonite clay increased its specific surface area from 142 to 177 m2/g as per BET analysis. Experimental design optimization results in 96.5% of Cr(VI) removal from the water solution at optimized adsorption parameters viz., adsorption time of 101 min, pH of 1.95, adsorbent dose of 1.12 g/L, and initial Cr(VI) concentration of 36.2 mg/L. The results of these studies demonstrate that the BMNC performs well. Moreover, the adsorption of Cr(VI) onto the BMNC was found to be the best fit with Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.9984) and a maximum adsorption capacity of 98 mg/g. The kinetics of the adsorption process was found to be a pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.9912). The BMNC also showed favourable reusability for adsorbate Cr(VI) ions removal from the water solution.

Abstract
A real industrial effluent from the pre-treatment and painting processes was polished through adsorption using alternative biochar derived from grape pomace wastes. The biochar was produced in a pilot-scale plant from composted grape pomace. Biochar showed an equilibrium between acidic and basic groups on the surface. The presence of irregular cavities in the structure and mesopores was confirmed by analyzing N2 physisorption and SEM. Concerning the effluent, Ni and Zn were the main problematic elements. The adsorption isotherms and kinetics of Ni and Zn from the effluent using the biochar could be represented by the Henry, pseudo-first-order, and pseudo-second-order models, respectively. Adsorption equilibrium was reached within 60 min for Ni and Zn present in the real effluent. Besides, the adsorption process was endothermic, favorable, and spontaneous. These results demonstrate that Zn and Ni metals were successfully removed from the industrial effluent, presenting final concentration values within the limit of legislation for effluent disposal in agricultural soil.

Abstract
Indiscriminate waste discharge into water bodies has increased the level of water pollution via anthropogenic activities. Hence the need for the development of sustainable and environmentally benign nanomaterials has the potential for wastewater treatment. Rice husk activated carbon (RHAC) prepared by orthophosphoric acid activation was successfully loaded with freshly prepared ZnO nanoparticles by a bottom-up approach via precipitation method resulting in the RHAC-ZnO-NC. RHAC-ZnO-NC's mineralogy with 72% zincite was determined by XRD, morphology by SEM, and the functional group by FTIR. The physicochemical parameters showed surface area 615.2 m2 g-1 , pH (pzc) (6.62), pH (6.53), bulk density (0.88 g/cm3), ash content (18.45%), and volatile matter (58.08%). The porosity was determined by iodine number. Boehm titration was carried out for oxygen-bearing functional group determination. The study substantiated RHAC-ZnO-NC as a promising material for adsorption and photocatalytic degradation.

Abstract
Considerable concern exists regarding water contamination by various pollutants, such as conventional pollutants (e.g., heavy metals and organics) and emerging micropollutants (e.g., consumer care products and interfering endocrine-related compounds). Currently, academics are continuously exploring sustainability-related materials and technologies to remove contaminants from wastewater. Magnetic starch-based adsorbents (MSAs) can combine the advantages of starch and magnetic nanoparticles, which exhibit unique critical features such as availability, cost-effectiveness, size, shape, crystallinity, magnetic properties, stability, adsorption properties, and excellent surface properties. However, limited reviews on MSAs' preparations, characterizations, applications, and adsorption mechanisms could be available nowadays. Hence, this review not only focuses on their activation and preparation methods, including physical (e.g., mechanical activation treatment, microwave radiation treatment, sonication, and extrusion), chemical (e.g., grafting, cross-linking, oxidation and esterification), and enzymatic modifications to enhance their adsorption properties, but also offers an all-round state-of-the-art analysis of the full range of its characterization methods, the adsorption of various contaminants, and the underlying adsorption mechanisms. Eventually, this review focuses on the recycling and reclamation performance and highlights the main gaps in the areas where further studies are warranted. We hope that this review will spark an interdisciplinary discussion and bring about a revolution in the applications of MSAs.

Abstract
Coating manufacturing, textile processing, and plastic industry have led to dramatical release levels of hazardous organic dye pollutants threatening public health and the environment. To solve this problem, porous carbon materials are being developed following with the United Nations initiative on water purification. However, conventional porous carbon materials face many challenges, such as limited removal rates, low adsorption capacity, and high chemicals consumption, hampering their large-scale utilization in dye wastewater treatment. Herein, we demonstrate a high-performance lignin-derived hierarchical porous carbon (LHPC) material directly prepared from renewable lignin through a low-cost activation procedure. The large specific surface area (1824 m2/g) enables the rapid and effective adsorption of organic dyes. Therefore, the LHPC exhibits an ultrahigh adsorption ability (1980.63 mg/g) and removal rate (99.03% in 10 min) for Azure B, superior to that of other adsorbents. Additionally, the LHPC adsorbent, organic dyes, eluting agent, and water all can be recycled and reused in a designed close-looped system. Its high removal ability and rate, strong retrievability, low-cost and scalable production combined with high dyes adsorption universality, positions our LHPC as a promising commercial adsorbent candidate for the purification of harmful organic dye wastewater, especially for heavily polluted area with an insistent demand for clear water.

Statistical optimization, kinetic, equilibrium isotherm and thermodynamic studies of copper biosorption onto Rosa damascena leaves as a low-cost biosorbent. Sci Rep 2022; 12:8583. [PMID: 35595800 PMCID: PMC9123003 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-12233-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2021] [Accepted: 05/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, Rosa damascena leaf powder was evaluated as a biosorbent for the removal of copper from aqueous solutions. Process variables such as the biosorbent dose, pH, and initial copper concentration were optimized using response surface methodology. A quadratic model was established to relate the factors to the response based on the Box-Behnken design. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to assess the experimental data, and multiple regression analysis was used to fit it to a second-order polynomial equation. A biosorbent dose of 4.0 g/L, pH of 5.5, and initial copper concentration of 55 mg/L were determined to be the best conditions for copper removal. The removal of Cu2+ ions was 88.7% under these optimal conditions, indicating that the experimental data and model predictions were in good agreement. The biosorption data were well fitted to the pseudo-second-order and Elovich kinetic models. The combination of film and intra-particle diffusion was found to influence Cu2+ biosorption. The Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models best fit the experimental data, showing a monolayer isotherm with a qmax value of 25.13 mg/g obtained under optimal conditions. The thermodynamic parameters showed the spontaneity, feasibility and endothermic nature of adsorption. Scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the biosorbent before and after Cu2+ biosorption, revealing its outstanding structural characteristics and high surface functional group availability. In addition, immobilized R. damascena leaves adsorbed 90.7% of the copper from aqueous solution, which is more than the amount adsorbed by the free biosorbent (85.3%). The main mechanism of interaction between R. damascena biomass and Cu2+ ions is controlled by both ion exchange and hydrogen bond formation. It can be concluded that R. damascena can be employed as a low-cost biosorbent to remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
The presence of dyes and heavy metals in water sources as pollutants is harmful to human and animal health. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles (ZF-NPs) due to their outstanding properties including cost-effectiveness, availability, and applicability for removal of auramine O (AO), methylene blue (MB), and Cd (II). The effect of the main operating parameters such as AO concentration, MB concentration, Cd (II) concentration, adsorbent amount, solution pH, and sonication time was optimized by the response surface methodology (RSM). Optimal conditions were obtained at adsorbent amount of 0.25 g, pH = 6, sonication time of 15 min, and concentration of 15 mg L-1, and more than 91.56% were removed from all three analytes. The adsorption of AO, MB, and Cd (II) onto ZF-NPs followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the equilibrium data fitted well with Langmuir isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacities of ZF-NPs for AO, MB and Cd (II) were as high as 201.29 mg g-1, 256.76 mg g-1 and 152.48 mg g-1, respectively. Also, the reuse of the adsorbent was investigated, and it was found that the adsorbent can be used for up to five cycles. Based on the results of interference studies, it was found that different ions do not have a significant effect on the removal of AO, MB, and Cd (II) in optimal conditions. The ZF-NPs was investigated successfully to remove AO, MB, and Cd (II) from environmental water samples. The results of this study showed that ZF-NPs can be used as a suitable adsorbent to remove AO, MB, and Cd (II) from aqueous solution.

Abstract
Water pollution by organic dyes poses great challenge to the environment and living organism. Hence effective removal of organic dyes by cost effective methods have received significant attention in recent years. Herein, we report the complete removal of organic dyes (rhodamine B), methylene blue) and eosin yellow) from water via effective adsorption by MoO3 catalyst. Hydrothermally synthesised MoO2 (1) and amorphous MoSx (2) using ammonium molybdate without and with thiourea exhibited low dye adsorption. In contrast, crystalline micro/nanoplates of MoO3 (3 and 4) obtained from calcination of 1 and 2 showed highly enhanced dye adsorption. Particularly 4 showed higher dye adsorption compared to 3. UV-Visible absorption studies confirmed complete removal of organic dyes upon stirring with MoO3 catalyst. Dye removal studies further revealed that cationic dyes are adsorbed faster than anionic dye that could be attributed to the surface charge of MoO3. Interestingly, the adsorbed dyes were not released from MoO3 for more than 50 days. The exhausted MoO3 catalyst can be recovered by annealing at 400 °C. MoO3 catalyst has also been used as packing materials in dropper column and demonstrated effective removal of dyes by passing through dyes separately as well as mixture.

Abstract
Water pollution, which has become a global problem in parallel with environmental pollution, is a problem that needs to be solved urgently, considering the gradual depletion of water resources. The inadequacy of the water treatment methods and the materials used somehow directed the researchers to look for dual character structures such as biocompatible and biodegradable β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). β-CD, which is normally insoluble in water, is used in demanding wastewater applications by being modified with the help of different agents to be water soluble or transformed into polymeric adsorbents as a result of co-polymerization via cross-linkers. In this way, in addition to the host-guest interactions offered by β-CD, secondary forces arising from these interactions provide advantages in terms of regeneration and reusability. However, the adsorption efficiency and synthesis steps need to be improved. Based on the current studies presented in this review, in which cross-linkers and modification methods are also mentioned, suggestions for novel synthesis methods of new-generation β-CD-based materials, criticisms, and recent methods of removal of micropollutants such as heavy metals, industrial dyes, harmful biomolecules, and pharmaceutics wastes are mentioned.

Abstract
In this research, mesoporous calcium aluminate nanostructures (meso-CaAl2O4) were synthesized using a citric acid-assisted sol-gel auto-combustion process as the potential adsorbent to eliminate toxic triphenylmethane dye malachite green (MG) from synthetic/real effluent. The surface morphology of meso-CaAl2O4 was highly porous with nanometric size and non-homogeneous surface. The specific surface area, total pore volume, and BJH pore diameter of meso-CaAl2O4 were 148.5 m2 g-1, 1.39 cm3 g-1, and 19 nm, respectively. The meso-CaAl2O4 also showed a very high heat resistance, due to losing only 7.95% of its weight up to 800 °C, which is mainly related to the moisture loss. The optimal adsorption conditions were obtained based on response surface methods (RSM)-central composite design (CCD) techniques. The Langmuir isotherm model was used for fitting the adsorption measurements, which presented 587.5 mg g-1 as the maximum adsorption capacity of the dye. The data obtained from the adsorption kinetics model were found to correspond to the pseudo-second-order model. Also, the thermodynamic parameters including enthalpy change (ΔH°), entropy change (ΔS°), and Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°) indicated that MG dye adsorption by the meso-CaAl2O4 was feasible, endothermic, and occurred spontaneously. Furthermore, the meso-CaAl2O4 was regenerated by microwave irradiation under 900 W at 6 min, and the MG dye removal efficiency was remained over 90% after the five cycles of microwave regeneration.

Abstract
Chloroquine has been reported as an effective drug for the treatment of COVID-19 and with the rise in its administration and continued use, metabolites of chloroquine invariably find their way into the environment. There are many concerns recently on the presence of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment, hence the need for environmental remediation via effective adsorbent. Plantain peel activated carbon-supported zinc oxide (PPAC-ZnO) nanocomposite was prepared and characterized using physicochemical and spectroscopic techniques. The rate of uptake of chloroquine by PPAC-ZnO nanocomposite was investigated by batch technique under different operational parameters. PPAC-ZnO nanocomposite was characterized by various physicochemical techniques by SBET = 606.07 m2g-1, pH(pzc) = 4.98 surface area by Saer's method = 273.4 m2g-1. The carboxylic, phenols, lactone, and basic sites were determined by the Boehm method. Chloroquine uptake was confirmed by FTIR and SEM before and after adsorption. Change in morphology after adsorption was revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed the crystallinity of PPAC-ZnO nanocomposite. The batch adsorption experiment results showed that adsorption capacity increased with an increase in temperature. The maximum chloroquine sorption was 78.89% at a concentration of 10 ppm and a temperature of 313 K. Equilibrium sorption fitted well to Langmuir and Temkin isotherms with a high correlation coefficient (R 2) of 0.99. Pseudo-second-order best described the kinetic data and adsorption mechanism was pore diffusion dependent. Thermodynamics parameters (ΔG = - 25.65 to - 28.79 kJmol-1; ΔH = 22.06 kJmol-1 and ΔS = 157.69 Jmol-1) demonstrated feasibility, spontaneity, and endothermic behavior of the process with degrees of randomness. The activation energy for adsorption was less than 40 kJmol-1 suggesting a physisorption mechanism. This study results revealed that PPAC-ZnO nanocomposites are a sustainable and effective adsorbent for the removal of pharmaceutical waste.

Abstract
This work is devoted to the investigation of the discoloration of the synthetic and industrial effluent, using a quarry residue (MbP), which is a material naturally composed of mixed oxides, compared to zinc oxide (ZnO), acting as photocatalysts and adsorbents. The optimization of the pH and catalyst concentration parameters was carried out, and the industrial effluent was then treated by photocatalytic reactions, adsorption, and photolysis. Industrial effluent was supplied by a packaging company and was collected for a period of seven consecutive days, showing the oscillation of the parameters in the process. The material characterizations were obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), and photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS). The results indicated that the composition of the quarry waste is mainly silica and has Egap 2.16 eV. The quarry residue as photocatalyst was active for the artificial effluent (synthetic dye solution), with a maximum of 98% discoloration, and as an adsorbent for industrial effluent, with a maximum of 57% of discoloration. Although the quarry residue has shown results lower than ZnO, it is considered a promising material in adsorption processes and photocatalytic reactions for discoloration of aqueous solutions.

Among the various non-thermal processing methods, ultrasound technology has proven to be very valuable. Ultrasound processing, being used alone or in combination with other processing methods, yields significant positive results on the quality of foods, thus has been considered efficacious. Food processes performed under the action of ultrasound are believed to be affected in part by cavitation phenomenon and mass transfer enhancement. It is considered to be an emerging and promising technology and has been applied efficiently in food processing industry for several processes such as freezing, filtration, drying, separation, emulsion, sterilization, and extraction. Various researches have opined that ultrasound leads to an increase in the performance of the process and improves the quality factors of the food. The present paper will discuss the mechanical, chemical and biochemical effects produced by the propagation of high intensity ultrasonic waves through the medium. This review outlines the current knowledge about application of ultrasound in food technology including processing, preservation and extraction. In addition, the several advantages of ultrasound processing, which when combined with other different technologies (such as microwave, supercritical CO2, high pressure processing, enzymatic extraction, etc.) are being examined. These include an array of effects such as effective mixing, retention of food characteristics, faster energy and mass transfer, reduced thermal and concentration gradients, effective extraction, increased production, and efficient alternative to conventional techniques. Furthermore, the paper presents the necessary theoretical background and details of the technology, technique, and safety precautions about ultrasound.

Abstract
In this study, Pb doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by a sol-gel technique for the sorption of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) textile dye in aqueous solution. The ZnO:Pb (2 and 4%) nanoparticles have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and cryogenic nitrogen adsorption method. The average size of the synthesized nanoparticles was less than 100 nm and the surface areas were 18.8 and 20.8 m2/g, respectively for ZnO:Pb 2% and ZnO:Pb 4%. Batch sorption experiments were performed for color removal of RB5 dye at ambient temperature and 30 mg/L dye concentration. The central composite design with response surface methodology was used to study the effect of sorption condition (pH, nanoparticles dose and contact time). The significance of independent variables and their interactions was tested by analysis of variance. The optimum conditions of color removal were pH = 7, 2 g/L dose of nanoparticles and a contact time of 79 min. The color removal performance was 79.4 and 98.1% for ZnO:Pb 2 and 4% respectively. The pseudo-second-order model described well the removal rates while the Langmuir model fitted well the adsorption isotherms.

A comparative study on the treatment of 2,4-dinitrotoluene contaminated groundwater in the combined system: efficiencies, intermediates and mechanisms. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 735:139161. [PMID: 32474247 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.139161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2019] [Revised: 04/27/2020] [Accepted: 04/30/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
In this study, scrap irons (SI)/granular activated carbons (GAC) micro-electrolysis treatment and persulfate-releasing materials (PRM) treatment were employed to construct the combination reduction and oxidation system to treat 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) contaminated groundwater. The 2,4-DNT treatment efficiencies in the PRM pre-treatment before SI/GAC micro-electrolysis treatment (FM-1 = PRM + SI/GAC) and SI/GAC micro-electrolysis pre-treatment before the PRM treatment (FM-3 = SI/GAC + PRM) were investigated in two separated columns. As control groups, the separated SI and GAC instead of the SI/GAC mixture were used in another two separated columns (FM-2 = PRM + SI + GAC; FM-4 = SI + GAC + PRM). The highest treatment efficiencies of 2,4-DNT in the FM-1 and FM-3 systems reached 79% and 93% during 5 PV, respectively. We found that the filling position of SI, GAC and PRM significantly affected the variations of pH, oxidation-reduction potential, Fe2+ and S2O82- concentrations in the combined systems. These results indicated that the SI/GAC micro-electrolysis pre-treatment of 2,4-DNT before the PRM treatment (FM-3) is more beneficial. The fifteen main intermediates in the combined system were identified by the detection of liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer. Furthermore, the possible treatment pathways of 2.4-DNT were proposed on the basis of identified intermediates. The treatment mechanisms in the FM-1 and FM-3 systems were proposed with the reduction mechanism in the SI/GAC micro-electrolysis system and the oxidation mechanism in the PRM treatment. Therefore, the combination of the reduction pre-treatment with the SI/GAC micro-electrolysis system and the oxidation post-treatment with persulfate can effectively treat the nitroaromatic compounds contaminated groundwater.

Abstract
The vast majority of nanomaterials have attracted an upsurge of interest since their discovery and considerable researches are being carried out about their adverse outcomes for human health and the environment. In this study, two regression-based quantitative structure-activity relationship models for nanoparticles (nano-QSAR) were established to predict the cellular uptakes of 109 functionalized magneto-fluorescent nanoparticles to pancreatic cancer cells (PaCa2) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) lines, respectively. The improved SMILES-based optimal descriptors encoded with certain easily available physicochemical properties were proposed to describe the molecular structure characteristics of the involved nanoparticles, and the Monte Carlo method was used for calculating the improved SMILES-based optimal descriptors. Both developed nano-QSAR models for cellular uptake prediction provided satisfactory statistical results, with the squared correlation coefficient (R2) being 0.852 and 0.905 for training sets, and 0.822 and 0.885 for test sets, respectively. Both models were rigorously validated and further extensively compared to literature models. Predominant physicochemical features responsible for cellular uptake were identified by model interpretation. The proposed models could be reasonably expected to provide guidance for synthesizing or choosing safer, more suitable surface modifiers of desired properties prior to their biomedical applications.

Abstract
Sulphur-based autotrophic denitrification is an energy-efficient NO3--N removal process; it does not require carbon and may potentially replace traditional denitrification processes. This process was used to treat graphite production-derived wastewater and achieved almost complete removal of NO3--N (concentration in effluent: 5.2 mg/L; concentration in influent: 606 mg/L) at a salinity of 15 g/L with a 30 h hydraulic retention time. A unique microbial community was established, in which the abundance of Thiobacillus increased with the increase of the NO3--N concentration and salinity. Metagenomic analysis revealed that the denitrification metabolic pathway in the bioreactor was active. It also revealed the increased activation of nhaH, a gene encoding Na+/H+ antiporters; proA, proB, and proC, genes encoding proline; and Trk and Kdp systems during the treatment of graphite production-derived wastewater to maintain cell function, providing valuable information about utilizing the sulphur-based autotrophic denitrification process to treat graphite production-derived wastewater.

Abstract
In order to investigate the adsorption behaviors of sulfonamides onto hydroxylated multi - walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a porous structure and large specific surface area, six typical sulfonamides including sulfanilamide (SAM), sulfamerazine (SMR), sulfadimethoxine (SMX), sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfamethazine (SMT) and sulfametoxydiazine (SMD) were selected to be adsorbed respectively on CNTs, and in the same time the structural parameters of the six sulfonamides molecules were calculated according to the density functional theory (DFT). Based upon above mentioned experiments and the structural parameters, the quantitative correlation between the structural parameters of sulfonamides molecules and their adsorption affinity (e.g. adsorption capacity and adsorption rate constant) onto CNTs was established, respectively. The adsorption data of sulfonamides fitted well with the pseudo - second - order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model. The order of both pseudo - second - order kinetic constant and maximum adsorption capacity of the six sulfonamides were SAM < SMR < SMX < SDZ < SMT < SMD. The frontier molecular orbital energy (EHOMO) and dipole moment (μ) could be used as indicators for the adsorption affinity of sulfonamides onto CNTs. Accordingly, the possible adsorption mechanism was proposed.

Abstract
Water pollution by industrial sector is a great problem which hampers the sustainable development goals. Dye containing water effluent poses vast challenge to clean water before its discharge in to the surrounding ecosystem. Herein, we prepared humic acid functionalized Fe3O4 nanosorbents through an eco-friendly route and applied for decolorization of carcinogenic dye from water. The nanosorbents was characterized by AFM, BET surface area analyzer, FTIR, SEM-EDX, TEM, TGA/DTG, VSM and XRD. Adsorption experiments were conducted by taking the appropriate amount of dye in different sources of water under ultrasonication. Adsorption process was controlled by chemisorption in nature making pseudo-second-order model most suitable. Multilayer adsorption was taking place on the active sites of nanosorbents showing applicability of Freundlich isotherm model with highest adsorbed amount of 199.986 mg g-1 at 323 K. Rise in temperature favors the remediation of colored effluent thus positive value of ΔH° (74.234 kJ mol-1) and negative value of ΔG° shows endothermic and spontaneous nature of adsorption system. Cationic surfactant CTAB favors the adsorption (<80%) while anionic SDS gives very low removal (>48%) because of the micelle formation at the surface of nanosorbents. Decolorization from real water samples shows that the adsorption of malachite green was 97, 90, 91, 87, and 86% for Ganga river water, tap water, well water, hand pump water and submersible water, respectively. The used Fe3O4/HA nanosorbents was easily recycled from water samples through 0.1 M HCl and nanosorbents was used up to five cycles with greater percentage of removal at 85%.

Abstract
A novel three-dimensional (3D) magnetic bacterial cellulose nanofiber/graphene oxide polymer aerogel (MBCNF/GOPA) composed of bacterial cellulose nanofibers (BCNFs), Fe3O4 nanoparticles, graphene oxide (GO) nano-sheets, and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was developed by combining a facile filler-loaded networks method with a vacuum freeze-drying process for the removal of malachite green (MG) dye from aqueous solution. The influence of various factors on adsorption, including initial dye concentration, adsorbent dosage, contact time, temperature, and pH of dye solution, was then investigated. The adsorbent preserved a high adsorption capacity over a wide range of pH conditions. Moreover, the adsorption isotherms data fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 270.27 mg g-1. Adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order model, and the thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption of MG dye was feasible and endothermic in nature and occurred spontaneously. Therefore, owing to its demonstrated properties such as 3D interconnected porous structure, lightweight, large specific surface area, superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature, excellent adsorbent efficiency (93% removal) and also its simple and eco-friendly synthesis process, MBCNF/GOPA could be considered a promising candidate for removing cationic dye pollutants from aqueous solution, which can easily be collected from aqueous solution by a small magnet. MBCNF/GOPA also showed favorable reusability for MG removal in wastewater treatment, and its application in different water samples for the removal of MG dye molecules from "real" samples was successfully performed.

Abstract
2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) is a hazardous chlorinated organic chemical derived from phenol that exerts serious effects on living organisms. In the present study, SnO2 templated with grapefruit peel carbon as a nanocomposite (SnO2@GPC) was designed via ball-milling, and its mechanism of 2,4-DCP adsorption in aqueous solution was determined. Batch adsorption experiments revealed that the maximum adsorption efficiency of SnO2@GPC occurred at 6.0 pH, 3 mg L-1 initial adsorbate concentration, 2 h contact time, and 293 K temperature. The SnO2@GPC nanocomposite and its non-tin-bearing counterpart, grapefruit derived char (@GPC), showed maximum adsorption capacities (QL) of 45.95 and 22.09 mg g-1 and partition coefficients of 41.77 and 10.83 mg g-1 μM-1, respectively. The adsorption of 2,4-DCP was best described by the Redlich-Peterson model followed by the Langmuir model with high correlation coefficients (R2 ≥ 0.96), and the adsorption kinetic data best fitted the pseudo-second-order model (R2 ≥ 0.98). The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the reaction was spontaneous, exothermic, and involved high affinity between SnO2@GPC and 2,4-DCP. The high desorption efficiency obtained (>80%) demonstrated the recyclability of the adsorbent. The enhanced QL of SnO2@GPC was due to the effective combination of GPC and SnO2. A thin porous layer of GPC on SnO2 nanoparticles provided effective channels, a large surface area, and an abundance of active sites for 2,4-DCP adsorption. Thus, the SnO2@GPC nanocomposite could potentially be used as a low-cost adsorbent to remove 2,4-DCP from water.

Abstract
Thiamphenicol (TAP) is a typical medicament in animal husbandry and aquaculture for treating diverse infections. In this work, thiamphenicol biodegradation performance via microalgae was tested. The cultivation results showed that TAP could be biodegraded via the target algae. Chlorella sp. L38 presented strong adaptive ability to high concentration TAP. Biodegradation, biosorption and bioaccumulation were the dominant metabolic fates. Biodegradation contributed around 97% of the total removal efficiency at the TAP concentration of 46.2 mg·L-1. The removal of TAP by Chlorella L38 and UTEX1602 agreed with the kinetic range of zero-order reaction, and the shortest half-lives were 3.2 d and 5.0 d. Based on the identification of metabolites, the metabolic pathway of TAP by microalgae was proposed, including chlorination, chlorine substitution, dehydration and hydroxylation. Therefore, biological treatment via microalgae has the potential for TAP purification.

Abstract
Ce was doped on TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs), and this association was loaded on activated carbon (Ce-TiO2-NPs-AC). The characterization was completed by FE-SEM, TEM, and XRD, and finally these NPs were used for the ultrasonic-assisted adsorption of Basic Red 46 (BR 46) from aqueous solution. An experimental model suggested by the central composite design (CCD)-as a branch of response surface methodology (RSM)-provides insight into the influence of variables, such as BR 46 concentration, pH, adsorbent mass, and sonication time, on BR 46 removal. Experimental results revealed that setting conditions at 25 mg L-1 of BR 46, pH 5.0, 0.02 g of Ce-TiO2-NPs-AC and 4 min sonication resulted in a high coefficient of determination (R2 > 0.99) and low probability values. The difference in the values is likely due to the accumulation of more than 99% of BR 46, while equilibrium data described by Langmuir isotherm model with a high adsorption capacity of 58.61 mg g-1 and adsorption process were successfully correlated with pseudo-second-order kinetics model.
