Alwael H, Alsulami AN, Abduljabbar TN, Oubaha M, El-Shahawi MS. Innovative Sol-gel functionalized polyurethane foam for sustainable water purification and analytical advances. Front Chem 2024; 12:1324426. [PMID: 38389725 PMCID: PMC10881768 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2024.1324426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Nanomaterial combined polymeric membranes such as polyurethane foams (PUFs) have garnered enormous attention in the field of water purification due to their ease of management and surface modification, cost-effectiveness, and mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties. Thus, this study reports the use of novel Sol-gel impregnated polyurethane foams (Sol-gel/PUFs) as new dispersive solid phase microextractors (d- µ SPME) for the efficient separation and subsequent spectrophotometric detection of Eosin Y (EY) textile dye in an aqueous solution with a pH of 3-3.8. The Sol gel, PUFs, and Sol gel-impregnated PUFs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), goniometry measurements, dynamic light scattering (DLS), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), UV-Visible, and FTIR spectra. Batch experiment results displayed a remarkable removal percentage (96% ± 5.4%) of the EY from the aqueous solution, with the total sorption time not exceeding 60 min. These data indicate rate-limited sorption via diffusion and/or surface complex ion associate formations after the rapid initial sorption steps. A pseudo-second order kinetic model thoroughly explained the sorption kinetics, providing a sorption capacity (qe) of 37.64 mg g-1, a half-life time (t1/2) of 0.8 ± 0.01 min, and intrinsic penetration control dye retention. The thermodynamic results revealed a negative value for ΔG⁰ (-78.07 kJ mol-1 at 293 K), clearly signifying that the dye uptake was spontaneous, as well as a negative value for ΔH⁰ (-69.58 kJ mol-1) and a positive value for ΔS⁰ (147.65 J mol-1 K-1), making clear the exothermic nature of EY adsorption onto the sorbent, with a growth in randomness at the molecular level. A ternary retention mechanism is proposed, involving the "weak base anion exchanger" of {(-CH2-OH+ -CH2-) (Dye anion)-}Sol-gel/PUF and/or {(-NH2 + -COO-) (Dye anion)-}Sol-gel/PUF via solvent extraction and "surface adsorption" of the dye anion on/in the Sol-gel/PUFs membranes in addition to H-bonding, including surface complexation and electrostatic π-π interaction, between the dye and the silicon/zirconium oxide (Si-O-Zr) and siloxane (Si-O-Si) groups on the sorbent. Complete extraction and recovery (93.65 ± 0.2, -102.28 ± 2.01) of EY dye with NaOH (0.5 M) as a proper eluting agent was achieved using a sorbent-packed mini column. In addition, the established extractor displayed excellent reusability and does not require organic solvents for EY enrichment in water samples, making it a talented nominee as a novel sorbent for EY sorption from wastewater. This study is of great consequence for expanding the applicatio1n of Sol-gel/PUFs in developing innovative spectrophotometric sensing strategies for dye determination. In view of this, it would also be remarkable to perform future studies to explore the analytical implications of this extractor regarding safety and environmental and public health issues associated to the pollutant.

Sol-Gel Functionalized Polyurethane Foam-Packed Mini-Column as an Efficient Solid Extractor for the Rapid and Ultra-Trace Detection of Textile Dyes in Water. Gels 2023; 9:884. [PMID: 37998974 PMCID: PMC10670804 DOI: 10.3390/gels9110884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Textile dyes widely used in industrial products are known as a major threat to human health and water ecological security. On the other hand, sol gel represents a principal driver of the adoption of dispersive solid-phase microextractors (d-µ SPME) for pollutants residues in water. Thus, the current study reports a new and highly rapid and highly efficient hybrid sol-gel-based sponge polyurethane foam as a dispersive solid-phase microextractor (d-µ-SPME) platform packed mini-column for complete preconcentration and subsequent spectrophotometric detection of eosin Y textile dye in wastewater. The unique porous structure of the prepared sol-gel immobilized polyurethane foams (sol-gel/PUF) has suggested its use for the complete removal of eosin Y dye (EY) from water. In the mini-column, the number (N) of plates, the height equivalent to the theoretical plates (HETP), the critical capacity (CC), and the breakthrough capacities (BC) of the hybrid sol-gel-treated polyurethane foams towards EY dye were determined via the breakthrough capacity curve at various flow rates. Under the optimum condition using the matrix match strategy, the linear range of 0.01-5 µg L-1, LODs and LOQs in the range of 0.006 µg L-1, and 0.01 µg L-1 for wastewater were achieved. The intra-day and inter-day precisions were evaluated at two different concentration levels (0.05 and 5 μg L-1 of dye) on the same day and five distinct days, respectively. The analytical utility of the absorbents packed in pulses and mini-columns to extract and recover EY dye was attained by 98.94%. The column could efficiently remove different dyes from real industrial effluents, and hence the sol-gel/PUF is a good competitor for commercial applications. The findings of this research work have strong potential in the future to be used in selecting the most suitable lightweight growing medium for a green roof based on stakeholder requirements. Therefore, this study has provided a convenient pathway for the preparation of compressible and reusable sponge materials from renewable biomass for efficient removal of EY from the water environment.

Tailoring Homogeneous Hydrogel Nanospheres by Facile Ultra-Sonication Assisted Cross-Linked Copolymerization for Rhodamine B Dye Adsorption. Gels 2023; 9:770. [PMID: 37888345 PMCID: PMC10606825 DOI: 10.3390/gels9100770] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 09/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The present paper describes the design of shape-oriented hydrogel nanospheres using a facile ultrasonication-supported crosslinked copolymerization technique. The effect of variable monomer concentration on the homogeneity of hydrogel nanospheres was investigated. The chitosan-cl-poly(MMA) hydrogel nanospheres were well characterized using various techniques such as FTIR, XRD, TGA, SEM, and TEM. The chitosan-cl-poly(MMA) hydrogel nanospheres were studied for their swelling behavior and could potentially be used as a novel adsorbent for rhodamine B dye remediation from aqueous media. The study found that utilizing chitosan-cl-poly(MMA) nanohydrogel spheres at the optimal pH 5 increased RhB dye adsorption capacity from 7.9 to 17.8 mg/g (pH 2 to 5), followed by a slight reduction. Furthermore, when nanohydrogel concentration increased, adsorption capacity dropped from 18.03 to 2.8 mg/g, but adsorption percentage climbed from 90.2% to 97.8%. At an initial dye concentration of 140 mg/L, rhodamine B adsorption achieved 204.3 mg/g in 60 min. The rhodamine B dye adsorption study includes adsorption kinetics, isotherm, and thermodynamics analyses. The interpretation of the adsorption study revealed that Langmuir isotherms fit best with a qmax value of 276.26 mg/g, which is in close approximation with the experimental value, whereas pseudo-second-order kinetics explains the adsorption process rate. The interaction of RhB dye with chitosan-cl-poly(MMA) hydrogel nanospheres involves multiple forces such as electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces, etc.

Abstract
The effect of ionic liquids on the separation of chlorinated anionic dyes such as Mordant Blue 9 (MB9) or Acid Yellow 17 (AY17) via ion exchange has been investigated in model aqueous solutions that simulate wastewater from the textile dyeing industry. The effect of ionic liquids chemical nature on the separation efficiency of mentioned dyes has been compared. It was found that especially ionic liquid based on quaternary ammonium salts comprising two or three long alkyl chains bound to the quaternary ammonium nitrogen (typically benzalkonium chloride or Aliquat 336) are very effective for the separation of both studied MB9 and AY17 from aqueous solution. In addition, the innovative technique has been developed for the reactivation of spent ionic liquids which is based on the chemical reduction of the formed ion pairs using NaBH4/NiSO4, NaBH4/Na2S2O5 or Raney Al-Ni alloy/NaOH. Thus, only NaBH4/NiSO4 in co-action with Al-Ni alloy enables both effective reduction of the azo bond and subsequent hydrodechlorination of emerging chlorinated aromatic amines. The efficiency of tested dyes separation or regeneration of ion pairs was evaluated by determination of the absorbance at wavelength of the maximum absorbance, of the Chemical Oxidation Demand (COD), and of the Adsorbables Organically bound Halogens (AOX). The formation of ion pairs or products of reduction and hydrodechlorination of these ion pairs has been studied using the 1H NMR and LC-MS techniques.

Abstract
Using renewable photocatalysts for pollutant degradation represents a promising approach to addressing environmental water challenges by harnessing solar energy without additional energy consumption. However, for the practical use of photocatalysts, it is necessary to improve catalyst efficiency, considering cost and biocompatibility. In this study, we developed a new superabsorbent photocatalyst for the degradation of organic dyes in water. Our photocatalyst comprises halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) with a large outer diameter and Si-O and Al-O groups on the outer and inner surfaces, respectively; graphene oxide (GO) possessing numerous sp2 bonds and light-conductive properties; and ZnO, which can degrade organic molecules via a photon source. By exploiting the superabsorbent properties of GOs for organic dyes and stabilizing ZnO nanoparticles on HNTs to inhibit aggregation, our photocatalysts demonstrated significantly improved degradability compared to ZnO nanoparticles alone and combinations of ZnO with HNTs or GO. The structural characteristics of the nanocomposites were characterized using SEM, EDX, Raman spectroscopy, and XRD. Their enhanced photocatalytic activity was demonstrated by the degradation of rhodamine b in water, showing 95% photodegradation under UV illumination for 60 min, while the ZnO nanoparticles showed only 56% dye degradation under the same condition. Additionally, the degradation rate was enhanced by four times. Furthermore, the catalysts maintained their initial activity with no significant loss after four uses, showing their potential for practical implementation in the mass purification of wastewater.

Microplastics in aquatic environments: A comprehensive review of toxicity, removal, and remediation strategies. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 876:162414.

Abstract
The occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments has been a global concern because they are toxic and persistent and may serve as a vector for many legacies and emerging pollutants. MPs are discharged to aquatic environments from different sources, especially from wastewater plants (WWPs), causing severe impacts on aquatic organisms. This study mainly aims to review the Toxicity of MPs along with plastic additives in aquatic organisms at various trophic compartments and available remediation methods/strategies for MPs in aquatic environments. Occurrences of oxidative stress, neurotoxicity, and alterations in enzyme activity, growth, and feeding performance were identical in fish due to MPs toxicity. On the other hand, growth inhibition and ROS formation were observed in most of the microalgae species. In zooplankton, potential impacts were acceleration of premature molting, growth retardation, mortality increase, feeding behaviour, lipid accumulation, and decreased reproduction activity. MPs togather with additive contaminants could also exert some toxicological impacts on polychaete, including neurotoxicity, destabilization of the cytoskeleton, reduced feeding rate, growth, survivability and burrowing ability, weight loss, and high rate of mRNA transcription. Among different chemical and biological treatments for MPs, high removal rates have been reported for coagulation and filtration (>86.5 %), electrocoagulation (>90 %), advanced oxidation process (AOPs) (30 % to 95 %), primary sedimentation/Grit chamber (16.5 % to 58.84 %), adsorption removal technique (>95 %), magnetic filtration (78 % to 93 %), oil film extraction (>95 %), and density separation (95 % to 100 %). However, desirable extraction methods are required for large-scale research in MPs removal from aquatic environments.

Abstract
Various physical, chemical, and biological factors act as pollutants and cause deleterious effects on the environment and living organisms. Several researchers are developing eco-friendly good adsorbent from agriculture waste materials for pollutant removal, especially aromatic dyes and heavy metal removal. We used the Asian green mussel byssus thread, a natural mariculture waste product for the removal of aromatic dyes (methylene blue and eosin Y) and heavy metals (zinc, copper, iron, mercury and lead). We documented the dynamicity of byssus thread dye and metal removal at different pH (pH 2-10) and different concentrations. The highest amount of metal removal was observed at pH 6.0, and the dye removal efficacy is related to the property of the dye (i.e. anionic or cationic dye). The byssus thread had a natural fluorescent property upon UV-excitation; however, microscopic examination revealed that metal and dye coordination significantly alter the byssus plaque region's physical and chemical property rather than the thread regions. It was further confirmed by using DSC and TGA characterization of de-metaled and metal-treated byssus thread complex. We concluded that Perna viridis byssus thread could be used as a strong adsorbent for dye and metal removal from the water.

Abstract
To enhance dye removal and energy recovery efficiencies in single-pair electrode photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC-AC), dual cathodes PFC (PFC-ACC) and dual photoanodes PFC (PFC-AAC) were established. Results revealed that PFC-AAC yielded the highest decolorization rate (1.44 h-1) due to the promotion of active species such as superoxide radical (•O2-) and hydroxyl radical (•OH) when the number of photoanode was doubled. The results from scavenging test and UV-Vis spectrophotometry disclosed that •OH was the primary active species in dye degradation of PFC. Additionally, PFC-AAC also exhibited the highest power output (17.99 μW) but the experimental power output was much lower than the theoretical power output (28.24 μW) due to the strong competition of electron donors of doubled photoanodes to electron acceptors at the single cathode and its high internal resistance. Besides, it was found that the increments of dye volume and initial dye concentration decreased the decolorization rate but increased the power output due to the higher amount of sacrificial agents presented in PFC. Based on the abovementioned findings and the respective dye intermediate products identified from gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), the possible degradation pathway of RR120 was scrutinized and proposed.

Abstract
The present work reports the synthesis of hydroxyapatite (HAp) via the green chemistry approach by using the leaf extract of copper pod tree and its adsorptive potential to remove Acid blue 113 (AB113) dye. FESEM-EDS characterization of the synthesized HAp confirmed rod-shaped HAp with prominent Ca and P elements. The crystallinity of HAp was ascertained by XRD and thermal stability was analyzed by TGA. The colloidal suspension stability was determined as - 17.7 mV by Zeta potential analyzer. The mesoporous structure was affirmed via BET studies with a high magnitude of specific surface area. TEM studies substantiated the rod-shaped HAp as observed in FESEM. The signals specific to HAp were observed in XPS studies. Adsorption of AB113 on the synthesized HAp was examined by varying the process parameters. Batch experiments resulted in an optimum dye removal of 92.72% at a pH of 8, 1 g/L of CP-HAp nps dosage, 20 ppm AB113 concentration, 120 min contact time, 150 rpm agitation speed and at room temperature. The maximum adsorption capacity reached 120.48 mg/g. Multifarious isotherms characterized the adsorption with Freundlich isotherm (R2 > 0.968) dominating Langmuir indicating multilayer adsorption. The experimental data reasonably matched pseudo-second-order kinetics with R2 exceeding 0.99. Thermodynamic investigations underlined the spontaneity and exothermicity of the processes. Results showed the suitability of the HAp nanoadsorbent to remove AB113 from wastestreams.

Abstract
Due to the increased demand for clothes by the growing population, the dye-based sectors have seen fast growth in the recent decade. Among all the dyes, methylene blue dye is the most commonly used in textiles, resulting in dye effluent contamination. It is carcinogenic, which raises the stakes for the environment. The numerous sources of methylene blue dye and their effective treatment procedures are addressed in the current review. Even among nanoparticles, photocatalytic materials, such as TiO2, ZnO, and Fe3O4, have shown greater potential for photocatalytic methylene blue degradation. Such nano-sized metal oxides are the most ideal materials for the removal of water pollutants, as these materials are related to the qualities of flexibility, simplicity, efficiency, versatility, and high surface reactivity. The use of nanoparticles generated from waste materials to remediate methylene blue is highlighted in the present review.

Abstract
The oxidation of 3',3″-dibromothymolsulfonphthalein (DBTS) in neutral medium by potassium permanganate multi-equivalent oxidant has been studied spectrophotometrically. Pseudo-first-order plots showed inverted S-shape throughout the entire course of the reaction. The initial rates were found to be relatively fast in the early stages, followed by a decrease in the oxidation rates over longer time periods in the slow stage. Under pseudo-first-order conditions where [DBTS] ≫ 10 [MnO4 -], the experimental results showed a first-order dependence in [MnO4 -] and fractional-first-order kinetics in the [DBTS] concentration. The formation of 1:1 coordination intermediate complex prior to the rate-determining step was revealed kinetically. In addition, the intermediate species involving complexes of Mn(V) coordination has been detected. The oxidation product of DBTS was identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, and gas chromatography-mass analysis. The obtained results indicated the formation of 2-bromo-6-isopropyl-3-methyl-cyclohexa-2,5-dienone as a derivative oxidation of DBTS.

Abstract
Azo dyes are commonly used in textile color processing for their wide array of vibrant colors. However, in recent years these dyes have become of concern in wastewater management given their toxicity to humans and the environment. In the present work, researchers remediated water contaminated with azo dyes using silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) intercalated within cotton fabric as a catalyst, for their enhanced durability and reusability, in a reductive degradation method. Three azo dyes—methyl orange (MO), Congo red (CR), and Chicago Sky Blue 6B (CSBB)—were investigated. The azo degradation was monitored by UV/vis spectroscopy, degradation capacity, and turnover frequency (TOF). The Ag NP−cotton catalyst exhibited excellent degradation capacity for the dyes, i.e., MO (96.4% in 30 min), CR (96.5% in 18.5 min), and CSBB (99.8% in 21 min), with TOFs of 0.046 min−1, 0.082 min−1, and 0.056 min−1, respectively, using a 400 mg loading of catalyst for 100 mL of 25 mg L−1 dye. To keep their high reusability while maintaining high catalytic efficiency of >95% degradation after 10 cycles, Ag NPs immobilized within cotton fabric have promising potential as eco-friendly bio-embedded catalysts.

Abstract
Abstract
Textile and dye industries generate wastewater which is considered as highly polluted and carcinogenic. Due to this, treatment of wastewater is required earlier to discharge or recycle. In the present studies, treatment of dye bearing water (DBW) has been explored. The treatment was performed using activated sludge (mixed culture) for aerobic process in sequential batch reactor (SBR). The fill volume (V
F) and fill time (t
F) variation in the treatment of DBW was taken place. The initial value of dye concentration, chemical oxygen demand (COD), sludge, and hydraulic retention time (HRT) were found to play important role in the treatment. At optimum condition (HRT = 2.5 d), the 86.84% COD reduction of 190 mg/L COD, and 92.33% dye reduction of 339 mg/L dye were achieved. These values are equal to overall 94.85% dye reduction of 500 mg/L, and 93.15% COD reduction of 380 mg/L. As a result, 500 mg/L dye was reduced to 26 mg/L, and 380 mg/L COD was reduced to 25 mg/L. The biodegradation fitted to Monod kinetics, for which kinetics parameter values of specific growth rate constant of biomass µ = 0.0047 h−1, yield coefficient (Y) = 1.059, and substrate utilization rate (q) = 0.0044 h−1 were evaluated at HRT = 2.5 d. The results show, this process can be applied to treat Acid Red 3BN Dye Water (AR3BNDW).

Abstract
Zinc oxide-ternary heterostructure Mn3O4/ZnO/Eu2O3 nanocomposites were successfully prepared via waste curd as fuel by a facile one-pot combustion procedure. The fabricated heterostructures were characterized utilizing XRD, UV-Visible, FT-IR, FE-SEM, HRTEM and EDX analysis. The photocatalytic degradation efficacy of the synthesized ternary nanocomposite was evaluated utilizing model organic pollutants of methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) in water as examples of cationic dyes and anionic dyes, respectively, under natural solar irradiation. The effect of various experimental factors, viz. the effect of a light source, catalyst dosage, irradiation time, pH of dye solution and dye concentration on the photodegradation activity, was systematically studied. The ternary Mn3O4/ZnO/Eu2O3 photocatalyst exhibited excellent MB and MO degradation activity of 98% and 96%, respectively, at 150 min under natural sunlight irradiation. Experiments further conclude that the fabricated nanocomposite exhibits pH-dependent photocatalytic efficacy, and for best results, concentrations of dye and catalysts have to be maintained in a specific range. The prepared photocatalysts are exemplary and could be employed for wastewater handling and several ecological applications.

Abstract
The present work demonstrates the development of hydroxyapatite (HA)/gold (Au) nanocomposites to increase the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) dye from the wastewater. HA nanopowder was prepared via a wet chemical precipitation method by means of Ca(OH)2 and H3PO4 as starting materials. The biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been reported for the first time by using the plant extract of Acrocarpus fraxinifolius. Finally, the as-prepared HA nanopowder was mixed with an optimized AuNPs solution to produce HA/Au nanocomposite. The prepared HA/Au nanocomposite was studied by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX) analysis. Adsorption studies were executed by batch experiments on the synthesized composite. The effect of the amount of adsorbent, pH, dye concentration and temperature was studied. Pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models were used to fit the kinetic data and the kinetic modeling results reflected that the experimental data is perfectly matched with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The dye adsorbed waste materials have also been investigated against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Micrococcus luteus, and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria by the agar well diffusion method. The inhibition zones of dye adsorbed samples are more or less the same as compared to as-prepared samples. The results so obtained indicates the suitability of the synthesized sample to be exploited as an adsorbent for effective treatment of MB dye from wastewater and dye adsorbed waste as an effective antibacterial agent from an economic point of view.

Abstract
Enhanced degradation of organic dye was achieved using two different kinds of waste materials: waste tire granules and spent sealed radioactive sources. Waste tire granules were used as raw material for the production of waste tire char (WTC), which was further utilized as an adsorbent matrix for synergetic adsorption/irradiation degradation of organic dye. The spent radioactive sources were radiographic sealed sources that originate from the industry which generate the high energy radiation. Methylene Blue (MB) was used as an organic model compound. Synthesized WTC has turbostratic structure, irregular shaped particles and developed mesoporous surface. Complete degradation of 0.02 dm3 of 100 mg dm-3 MB solution, having WTC dose of 1.25 g dm-3, was achieved with delivered doze of only 60 Gy. The applied doses were 100 times smaller than those presented in the literature. Degradation pathway was determined: OH radicals that originate from radiolysis of water and from the surface of WTC played the crucial role in the radiocatalytic degradation of MB. Breakage of the aromatic ring of MB appeared by the scission of the double C‒S+˭C bond as a result of the attack of OH species on adsorbed and electronically reorganized MB molecule.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) with sizes < 5 mm are found in various compositions, shapes, morphologies, and textures that are the major sources of environmental pollution. The fraction of MPs in total weight of plastic accumulation around the world is predicted to be 13.2% by 2060. These micron-sized MPs are hazardous to marine species, birds, animals, soil creatures and humans due to their occurrence in air, water, soil, indoor dust and food items. The present review covers discussions on the damaging effects of MPs on the environment and their removal techniques including biodegradation, adsorption, catalytic, photocatalytic degradation, coagulation, filtration and electro-coagulation. The main techniques used to analyze the structural and surface changes such as cracks, holes and erosion post the degradation processes are FTIR and SEM analysis. In addition, reduction in plastic molecular weight by the microbes implies disintegration of MPs. Adsorptive removal by the magnetic adsorbent promises complete elimination while the biodegradable catalysts could remove 70-100% of MPs. Catalytic degradation via advanced oxidation assisted by S O 4 • - or O H • radicals generated by peroxymonosulfate or sodium sulfate are also adequately covered in addition to photocatalysis. The chemical methods such as sol-gel, agglomeration, and coagulation in conjunction with other physical methods are discussed concerning the drinking water/wastewater/sludge treatments. The efficacy, merits and demerits of the currently used removal approaches are reviewed that will be helpful in developing more sophisticated technologies for the complete mitigation of MPs from the environment.

Abstract
Abstract
The threat of dye contamination has achieved an unsurpassed abnormal state lately due to their massive consumption in several enterprises including textile, leather, cosmetic, plastic, and paper industries. This review focuses on the integrations of various advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), such as Fenton, photocatalysis, and ozonation, with biodegradation for the treatment of textile azo dyes. Such integrations have been explored lately by researchers to bring down the processing cost and improve the degree of mineralization of the treated dyeing wastewater. The review refers to the basic mechanisms, the influence of various process parameters, outcomes of recent works, and future research directions. All the three AOPs, independently, demonstrated substantial color reduction of 54–100%. The ozonation process, stand-alone, showed the most efficient decolorization (of 88–100%) consistently in all reviewed research works. In contrast, all three AOPs independently offered varied and inadequate COD reduction in the range of 16–80%. The AOPs, after getting integrated with biodegradation, yielded an additional reduction (of 11–70%) in the COD-levels and (of 16–80%) in the TOC-levels. Further, the integration of AOPs with biodegradation has potential to significantly reduce the treatment costs. The review suggests further research efforts in the direction of sequencing chemical and biological routes such that their synergistic utilization yield complete detoxification of the textile azo dyes economically at large-scale.

Abstract
The conventional water and wastewater treatment methods are unable to provide up-to-data organized standards for drinking water and discharging effluents into natural ecosystems. Therefore, developing advanced and cost-effective methods to achieve published standards for water and wastewater and population needs are nowadays necessity. The important parts of this article are providing literature information about dyes and their effects on the environment and human health, adsorption properties and mechanism, adsorbent characteristics, and recent information on various aspects of modified activated carbons with nanosized metal oxides (AC- NMOs) in the removal of dyes. This review also summarized the effect of main environmental and operational parameters such as adsorbent dosage, pH, initial dye concentration, contact time, and temperature on the dye adsorption using AC-NMOs. Furthermore, the applied isotherm and kinetic models have been discussed.

Nippatla N, Philip L. Electrochemical process employing scrap metal waste as electrodes for dye removal. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2020; 273:111039.

Abstract
In the present study, efficiency of electro-coagulation-flotation (EC-F) process using waste metal scrap of Al and Fe collected from construction and demolition waste of Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT M) campus for the removal of double azo bond dye Acid Red 66 (AR66) was studied. The key operating parameters such as current density and electrical conductivity were optimized individually with an initial dye concentration of 50 mg/L, at pH 7. Different electrode combinations and connection modes (parallel MP-P, series (MP-S, BP-S)) were tested, at pre-optimized conditions, in order to achieve better removal of AR66 dye with minimum energy consumption. Series connection in bipolar electrode mode (BP-S) showed better COD reduction from 164 mg/L to 26.2 mg/L with complete decolourization (BDL). Hybrid electrode system of Fe-Al-Fe-Al-Fe-Al showed maximum reduction of COD from 164 mg/L to 11.3 mg/L along with 86.3% TSS reduction and complete decolourization. LC-MS analysis showed the formation of intermediates with m/z 195, m/z 210.6 and m/z 159.3 due to the destruction of AR66 dye during electrolysis. Highest current efficiency (CE φ = 107%) was observed in case of hybrid electrode system compared to Al (φ = 30.1%) and Fe (φ = 98.3%) electrode system at similar operating conditions. Compared to the same electrode material as anode and cathode, use of appropriate hybrid electrode combination can improve the removal efficiency and reduce the energy consumption (ENC). The influence of aeration on the performance of the system was also studied. Aeration significantly improved the COD removal efficiency (98.3%) along with complete decolourization (100%). The use of waste metal scrap as electrodes reduced the overall cost of the treatment process from 1.6 $/m3 to 0.06 $/m3. Using waste metal scrap as electrodes not only reduces the metal accumulation in the environment but also reduces the cost of EC-F process.

Abstract
In the present work, the modified bentonites were prepared by the modification of bentonite with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), both cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and hydroxy-Fe cations and both cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and hydroxy-Al cations. X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis (TG-DTA), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms were utilized to characterize the resultant modified bentonites. The modified bentonites were employed for the removal of phenol red dye from aqueous solution. Phenol red adsorption agreed well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The equilibrium data were analyzed on the basis of various adsorption isotherm models, namely, Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin‒Radushkevich models. The highest monolayer adsorption capacity of phenol red at 30°C derived from the Langmuir equation was 166.7 mg·g−1, 125.0 mg·g−1, and 100.0 mg·g−1 for CTAB‒bentonite, Al‒CTAB‒bentonite, and Fe‒CTAB‒bentonite, respectively. Different thermodynamic parameters were calculated, and it was concluded that the adsorption was spontaneous (∆G° < 0) and endothermic (∆H° > 0), with increased entropy (∆S° > 0) in all the investigated temperature ranges.

Dauda MY, Erkurt EA. Investigation of reactive Blue 19 biodegradation and byproducts toxicity assessment using crude laccase extract from Trametes versicolor. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 393:121555.

Abstract
Crude laccase potency on biodegradation and detoxification of Reactive blue 19 (RB-19) were demonstrated, along with prediction of degradation mechanisms, pathways and byproducts analysis. Trametes versicolor, cultured on pampas grass inflorescence (Cortaderia selloana), yielded the best crude laccase activity (15.36 U/g). 10 U CLE activities demonstrated a biodegradation yield (85%) in 210 min, at pH 4, 50 °C and 200 mg/L RB-19 concentrations. Evolution of a brown color that absorbed maximally at 478 nm was observed during biodegradation. Two methods were adopted for byproducts extraction, three methods for toxicity analysis and four models for kinetic parameters (Km and Vmax) determination. 2-ethylanthracene, 2-hydroxycyclohexa-2,4-dien-1-one, 2(4-methylphenyl)-ethan-1-amine, 1-[6-hydroperoxy-4,5-bis(sulfooxy)oxan-3-yl]triaza-1,2-dien-2-ium, naphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid and N-[(5-oxooxolan-2-yl)methyl]acetamide were detected as toxic byproducts. Brown color evolution was due to 1,1,1-triethyl-3-(methoxycarbonyl)-2,2-dioxo-2λ6-diazathian-1-ium (methoxycarbonyl sulfanyl-triethylammonium hydroxide) inner salt. Increase in color density (light to dark brown) was a function of byproduct(s) biodegradation and polymerization. RB-19 and byproduct acute toxicities were decreased significantly (98% - 6.91%). Kinetic parameters Km (18.05 mg/L) and Vmax (0.31 mg/L. min-1) from the four kinetic models demonstrated higher affinity of CLE to RB-19. CLE yielded a catalytic activity (Vmax/Km =0.017 min-1) demonstrating the flexibility of CLE active site to RB-19 binding over commercial laccase.

Abstract
Polymeric microcapsules with the fungal laccase from Pycnoporus sanguineus CS43 may represent an attractive avenue for the removal or degradation of dyes from wastewaters. Microcapsules of alginate/chitosan (9.23 ± 0.12 µm) and poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) (9.25 ± 0.35 µm) were synthesized and subsequently tested for catalytic activity in the decolorization of the diazo dye Congo Red. Successful encapsulation into the materials was verified via confocal microscopy of labeled enzyme molecules. Laccase activity was measured as a function of time and the initial reaction rates were recovered for each preparation, showing up to sevenfold increase with respect to free laccase. The ability of substrates to diffuse through the pores of the microcapsules was evaluated with the aid of fluorescent dyes and confocal microscopy. pH and thermal stability were also measured for encapsulates, showing catalytic activity for pH values as low as 4 and temperatures of about 80 °C. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses demonstrated the ability of PSS capsules to avoid accumulation of byproducts and, therefore, superior catalytic performance. This was corroborated by the direct observation of substrates diffusing in and out of the materials. Compared with our PSS preparation, alginate/chitosan microcapsules studied by others degrade 2.6 times more dye, albeit with a 135-fold increase in units of enzyme per mg of dye. Similarly, poly(vinyl) alcohol microcapsules from degrade 1.7 times more dye, despite an eightfold increase in units of enzyme per mg of dye. This could be potentially beneficial from the economic viewpoint as a significantly lower amount of enzyme might be needed for the same decolorization level achieved with similar encapsulated systems.

Abstract
Saline wastewater originates from many industries, containing a large amount of salt (NaCl) and other toxic and harmful organic matter, which have a great impact on the soil and groundwater. However, the treatment of saline wastewater is a serious problem because organic contents are hard to degrade with the high salinity by the common water treatment technologies. Herein, an electrochemical process coupled with ultraviolet (UV) irradiation was proposed for the saline wastewater treatment. High efficiency of p-nitrophenol (p-NP) and ammonia degradation were contributed from the in situ electrochemical produced active chlorine and photo-induced chlorine radicals. Under the optimal conditions (0.10 A, 0.05 M NaCl, and pH 6.00), approximately 98.91% p-NP was removed after 60 min with the rate constant of 7.521 × 10-2 min-1 in the electrochemical process, and 28.99% mineralization rate was obtained, while with the synergistic effect of UV and electrochemistry, approximately 100% of p-NP removal (k = 9.331 × 10-2 min-1) was achieved by 30 min treatment and about 83.70% of p-NP can be mineralized to CO2 after 60 min. The study on the synergistic mechanism of enhanced degradation performance illustrated that Cl with high oxidation capacity played an important role in the p-NP oxidation. Besides, based on the chlorine radical reactions, this method was also effectively applied to remove ammonia nitrogen (92.00% removal of total nitrogen in 100 min) for nitrogen-containing wastewater. Thus, this study offers a promising approach for the treatment of saline industry wastewater.

Abstract
The research study was conducted to design the ultrasonic-assisted electrochemical reactor and the bioreactor/filter to evaluate the potential applicability of biological trickling filter system and to compare the efficiency of two reactors such as SER and TF for the treatment of textile industry effluents. Also the study to design Sonoelectrolytic process for wastewater treatment of textile industry containing strong color, high temperature, suspended particles and dissolved solid particles has been conducted. Effect to environment and health is caused by oxygen demand (BOD), high chemical oxygen demand (COD). The percentage removal efficiency for wastewater treatment of textile industry by using sonoelectrolytic reactor (SER) was found to be higher than 95% at temperature of 25°C and a pH value of 8.9, while for trickling filter (TF), having adsorbent as a filter medium, efficiency was found to be 95%, and optimum conditions obtained were applied for the treatment of different dye samples. Based on experimental outcomes, it is determined that treatment through SER is done faster than trickling filter because in TF the adsorbent capacity decreases with time and is a time-consuming process, but the chance of deposition on electrodes also increases in SER, so both these processes can yield better results if these problems are eliminated.

Abstract
Adsorption of Reactive Black 5 and Congo Red from aqueous solution by coffee waste modified with polyethylenimine was investigated. The removal percentages of both dyes increased with amount of polyethyleneimine in the modified adsorbent. Characterization revealed that polyethyleneimine modification improved the adsorbent surface chemistry, while slight improvement of adsorbent textural properties was also observed. The adsorbent's excellent performance was demonstrated by high removal percentages towards the anionic dyes in most experimental runs. The modelling result showed that anionic dyes adsorption occurred via monolayer adsorption, and chemisorption was the rate-controlling step. The adsorbent possesses higher maximum adsorption capacity towards Reactive Black 5 (77.52 mg/g) than Congo Red (34.36 mg/g), due to the higher number of functional groups in Reactive Black 5 that interact with the adsorbent. This study reveals the potential of adsorbent derived from coffee waste in textile wastewater treatment. Furthermore, surface chemistry modification is proven as an effective strategy to enhance the performance of biowaste-derived adsorbents.

Abstract
Herein, we present the development of a visible-light-driven magnetically retrievable nanophotocatalyst made of porous ruthenium nanoparticles supported on magnetic carbon nitride (g-C3N4/Fe3O4/p-RuNP) for the facile removal/degradation of aromatic amines and azo dyes from wastewater. Aromatic amines and azo-based dyes in water bodies are highly toxic and carcinogenic even at very low concentrations and are difficult to separate because of their high solubility. Our nanocatalyst can efficiently degrade/decompose the aromatic amines and azo dyes under visible light (LED/sunlight) at room temperature and in a wide pH range (pH 5.0–9.0) without using any external chemicals. The magnetic property of the nanocatalyst facilitates its efficient and facile separation from the reaction mixture for reuse in multiple photocatalytic cycles. The nanocatalyst-based degradation of azo dyes and aromatic amines presented here is simple and convenient in terms of efficiency, energy, reusability and cost. The process also does not require any external chemicals and forms gaseous/less harmful end products. A magnetically separable and recyclable g-C3N4/Fe3O4/porous ruthenium nanocatalyst display excellent photocatalytic degradation of water-soluble aromatic amines and azo dyes at ambient condition.![]()

Abstract
In this study, electrospun cellulose acetate - poly(ethylene oxide) nanofibrous membrane was found to be unique in immobilizing bacterial cells. Here, removal of methylene blue in aqueous media was achieved by using isolated species of bacteria (Bacillus paramycoides) from industrial wastewater and immobilized on cellulose acetate- poly(ethylene oxide) nanofibers using DMSO as a solvent. The decolorization time was varied from 0 to 72 h, different dye concentrations from 20 to 200 mg/L and bacterial cells count was investigated to achieve the maximum MB removal by bacteria-immobilized CA/PEO nanofibrous membrane. The effective dye decolorization was achieved within 48 h and MB removal % was around 93%. Furthermore, reusability of the bacteria-immobilized CA/PEO nanofibrous membrane was tested. It was found that after the 4th usage, 44% of the dye decolorization capacity still could be achieved. These results are promising and suggest that bacteria-immobilized CA/PEO nanofibrous membrane could be economically feasible and eco-friendly when used in MB removal from industrial wastewater. Combination of both adsorption and biodegradation methods was found to be effective in MB removal from aqueous media.

Abstract
In the present study, removal of hazardous toxic odor compounds with color, COD and turbidity were concurrently investigated for the effluents of a turkey processing plant located in Bolu, Turkey. A hybrid TiO2-assisted photo-ozonation (UV/TiO2/O3) process was set to address this issue. Subsequently, a comprehensive GC/MS method was developed for quantification of odor compounds. Finally, a complete overall cost analysis was incorporated with the findings of the study to demonstrate an economic analysis of the process. Descriptive results showed that the effluents had high pollution content in terms of color (0.374 IU; b = -0.06), COD (146 mg/L O2) and turbidity (15.52 NTU). Moreover, dimethyl silanediol (DS, 34.3%), acetic acid (AA, 20.5%), and diisobutyl phthalate (DP, 32.5%) were determined as major odor compounds of the effluents. After UV/TiO2/O3 process, DS, AA, and DP were reduced to 12.4%, 12.0%, and 8.4%, respectively under the operating conditions of ozone dose of 16 mg/L, initial pH of 7.5, reaction time of 25 min, and catalyst dose of 3 g/L TiO2. At the same conditions removal efficiencies of color, COD and turbidity were obtained %99, %85, and 78%, respectively. These values demonstrated the accuracy of UV/TiO2/O3 process in terms of removal of hazardous odor compounds and the other pollution parameters. Studies on reaction mechanism showed that main degradation mechanism occurred in three ways: formation of long-chained cyclic compounds from DS (1), formation of acetamide and ammonium acetate from AA (2), and formation of phthallic acid from DP (3). Finally, overall cost analysis showed that the current process costed 0.014 $ per 1 L of treated effluent and this value showed that the current process met the economic criteria in terms of feasibility.

Abstract
Antimicrobial Nigella sativa seed-based nanocomposite, MnO2/BC, was synthesized and utilized for the water purification through adsorption, and the photocatalytic degradation. MnO2/BC was prepared by co-precipitation method, and characterized using FT-IR, XRD, SEM, TEM, TGA, and DSC techniques. The composite was investigated for inhibition of bacterial cells growth. FT-IR spectrum indicated the presence of oxygenous groups on the surface; TGA and DSC showed thermal degradation; and XRD, SEM, and TEM investigations indicated amorphous, and porous nature of MnO2/BC having particle size of 190-220 nm. The nanocomposite inhibited the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria cells in water. The adsorption of Methylene blue from water was investigated in batch method in terms of amount of MnO2/BC, dye concentration, pH, time, and temperature. 1.0 g L-1 of MnO2/BC removed more than 98% of Methylene blue from aqueous solution having concentration of 10 mg L-1 and pH 7.0 at 27 °C. The maximum Langmuir adsorption capacity of MnO2/BC was 185.185 mg g-1 at 45 °C. The adsorption was an endothermic process which obeyed Freundlich isotherm, and pseudo-second order kinetics. Therefore, the Methylene blue binding onto MnO2/BC surface was site-specific partially through the weak hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions. The photocatalytic activity of MnO2/BC has been investigated by degrading the Methylene blue molecules/ions in water under the sunlight and 85% of degradation was achieved during 120 min irradiation. The dye was desorbed at lower pH and regenerated MnO2/BC was used for second cycle of Methylene blue adsorption. The results obtained for this study are much better than the previous Methylene blue adsorption studies with acid washed Black cumin seeds and MnFe2O4/BC for which the capacities were 73.529 mg g-1 and 10.070 mg g-1 at 27 °C, respectively (J. Mol. liq. 2018a, 264, 275-284; J. Clean. Prod. 2018a, 200, 996-1008).
