Abstract
Assuring the safety of muscle foods and seafood is based on prerequisites and specific measures targeted against defined hazards. This concept is augmented by 'interventions', which are chemical or physical treatments, not genuinely part of the production process, but rather implemented in the framework of a safety assurance system. The present paper focuses on 'Cold Atmospheric pressure Plasma' (CAP) as an emerging non-thermal intervention for microbial decontamination. Over the past decade, a vast number of studies have explored the antimicrobial potential of different CAP systems against a plethora of different foodborne microorganisms. This contribution aims at providing a comprehensive reference and appraisal of the latest literature in the area, with a specific focus on the use of CAP for the treatment of fresh meat, fish and associated products to inactivate microbial pathogens and extend shelf life. Aspects such as changes to organoleptic and nutritional value alongside other matrix effects are considered, so as to provide the reader with a clear insight into the advantages and disadvantages of CAP-based decontamination strategies.

Abstract
Polymers are extensively used in food and beverage packaging to shield against contaminants and external damage due to their barrier properties, protecting the goods inside and reducing waste. However, current trends in polymers for food, water, and beverage applications are moving forward into the design and preparation of advanced polymers, which can act as active packaging, bearing active ingredients in their formulation, or controlling the head-space composition to extend the shelf-life of the goods inside. In addition, polymers can serve as sensory polymers to detect and indicate the presence of target species, including contaminants of food quality indicators, or even to remove or separate target species for later quantification. Polymers are nowadays essential materials for both food safety and the extension of food shelf-life, which are key goals of the food industry, and the irruption of smart materials is opening new opportunities for going even further in these goals. This review describes the state of the art following the last 10 years of research within the field of food and beverage polymer's applications, covering present applications, perspectives, and concerns related to waste generation and the circular economy.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence has emerged as a powerful tool for solving real-world problems in various fields. This study investigates the simulation and prediction of nitrate adsorption from an aqueous solution using modified hydrochar prepared from sugarcane bagasse using an artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVR), and gene expression programming (GEP). Different parameters, such as the solution pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and initial nitrate concentration, were introduced to the models as input variables, and adsorption capacity was the predicted variable. The comparison of artificial intelligence models demonstrated that an ANN with a lower root mean square error (0.001) and higher R2 (0.99) value can predict nitrate adsorption onto modified hydrochar of sugarcane bagasse better than other models. In addition, the contact time and initial nitrate concentration revealed a higher correlation between input variables with the adsorption capacity.

Modified Hazelnut Shells as a Novel Adsorbent for the Removal of Nitrate from Wastewater. WATER 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/w14050816] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The aim of the study was to prepare a novel adsorbent by chemical modification of hazelnut shells and evaluate its potential for the nitrate removal from model solutions and real wastewater. The characterization of the novel adsorbent, i.e., modified hazelnut shell (MHS) was performed. The adsorbent characterization included the analysis of elemental composition and the surface characteristics analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The adsorption experiments (batch technique) were performed to investigate the effects of adsorbent concentration, contact time, initial nitrate concentration, and solution pH. The nitrate removal efficiency increased with the increase in MHS concentration and decreased with the initial nitrate concentration. MHS was found to be effective in nitrate removal over a wide pH range (from 2 to 10), and the highest amount of nitrate adsorbed was 25.79 mg g−1 in a model nitrate solution. Depending on the aqueous medium (model solutions or real wastewater samples), it was shown that both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models can be used to interpret the adsorption process. It was found that the kinetics are well described by a pseudo-second order model and the nitrate adsorption process can be controlled by chemisorption. The intraparticle diffusion model has been used to identify an adsorption-controlled process by diffusion mechanisms. Adsorption/desorption experiments in column confirmed that MHS could be successfully used in multiple cycles (at least three), indicating the potential of MHS as an alternative to costly commercial adsorbents for the removal of nitrates from wastewater.

Abstract
In the last decade, adsorption has exhibited promising and effective outcomes as a treatment technique for wastewater contaminated with many types of pollutants such as heavy metals, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and bacteria. To achieve such effectiveness, a number of potential adsorbents have been synthesized and applied for water remediation and antimicrobial activities. Among these inorganic adsorbents (INAD), activated carbon, silica, metal oxide, metal nanoparticles, metal–organic fibers, and graphene oxide have been evaluated. In recent years, significant efforts have been made in the development of highly efficient adsorbent materials for gas and liquid phases. For gas capture and water decontamination, the most popular and known functionalization strategy is the chemical grafting of amine, due to its low cost, ecofriendliness, and effectiveness. In this context, various amines such as 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), diethanolamine (DEA), dendrimer-based polyamidoamine (PAMAM), branched polyethyleneimine (PEI), and others are employed for the surface modification of INADs to constitute a large panel of resource and low-cost materials usable as an alternative to conventional treatments aimed at removing organic and inorganic pollutants and pathogenic bacteria. Amine-grafted INAD has long been considered as a promising approach for the adsorption of both inorganic and organic pollutants. The goal of this review is to provide an overview of surface modifications through amine grafting and their adsorption behavior under diverse conditions. Amine grafting strategies are investigated in terms of the effects of the solvent, temperature, and the concentration precursor. The literature survey presented in this work provides evidence of the significant potential of amine-grafted INAD to remove not only various contaminants separately from polluted water, but also to remove pollutant mixtures and bacteria.

Abstract
Nitrate is the main form of nitrogen species in natural waters. Excessive nitrate concentration in water is highly undesirable, so that removal of the excessive nitrates in waters is very important. However, the challenge is purposed to remove the excessive nitrates in sea waters by considering anions-rich sea water. Adsorption is a favorable method for the nitrate removal process. Therefore, this research was aimed to study the kinetics and isotherm of nitrates adsorption in salt water. The adsorbent preparation was done by modifying natural zeolite with iron oxide. The adsorbent characterization was carried out by FT-IR spectroscopy and Gas Sorption Analyis methods. The results showed that the modified zeolite have Fe−O group vibrations as indicated by a peak at a wave number of 1404.18 cm−1 and an increased specific surface area. The modified zeolite is capable of adsorbing nitrate ions. The adsorption isotherms studies indicated that the modified zeolite is appropriate to the Dubinin-Radushkevich model. The average adsorption energy value (ED), obtained based on the Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm <2 kJ/mole, showed that the nitrate adsorption on zeolite surface occurred physically. The most suitable adsorption kinetics model is the pseudo second order with the rate constant of 1.80´10−2 g/mg.min. Copyright © 2021 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract
Water quality plays a central role in the well-being of all the living organisms on planet Earth. The ever-increasing human population and consequently increasing industrialization, urbanization, and chemically boosted cultivation are rapidly contaminating already stressed water resources. The availability of clean drinking water has become scarce for masses across the globe, and this situation is becoming alarming in developing countries. Therefore, the immediate need for cost-effective, easily accessible, eco-friendly, portable, thermally efficient, and chemically stable technologies and materials is desperately felt to meet the high global demand for clean water. To search for effective materials for wastewater treatment, the hyper-cross-linked porous polymers (HCPs) have emerged as an excellent class of porous materials for wastewater treatment due to their unique features of high surface area, tunability, biodegradability, and chemical versatility. This review describes the advances in fabrication strategies and the efficient utilization of hyper-cross-linked porous polymers for wastewater treatment. Moreover, this review specifically discusses the hyper-cross-linked porous polymers effectiveness for the separation of the dyes, nutrients, inorganic ions, organic contaminants, and toxic metals ions. Finally, the review provides insight into the challenges and prospects in the area of hyper-cross-linked porous polymers. Overall, the hyper-cross-linked porous polymers with empowering proper functionalization can provide an opportunity for the wastewater treatment not only to remove toxic contaminants but also to make contaminated water useful for various applications.

Abstract
Nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) is a common pollutant in aquatic environments and causes many environmental issues and health problems. This study successfully applied the activated AC@CNT composite synthesized by CNTs in-situ growth and post-treated by myristyltrimethylammonium bromide (MTAB) for NO3-N adsorption from wastewater. The results show that the highest NO3-N adsorption capacity of AC@CNTs-M was 14.59 mg·g-1. The in-situ growth of CNTs gave a higher specific surface area and more mesoporous volume, while MTAB uniformly occupied part of the pore structure after the modification process. The AC@CNTs-M had more surface functional groups of hydroxyl and carboxyl, which are favorable for the adsorption of NO3-N. The NO3-N adsorption on AC@CNTs-M was best defined by the pseudo-second-order model, and the isothermal analysis shows that NO3-N adsorption is a multiple process with a maximum adsorption capacity of 27.07 mg·g-1. All the results demonstrate the great potential of AC@CNTs-M for NO3-N adsorption from water, especially in acidic wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, the behavior of mono-component (metronidazole/phosphate/nitrate, MET/PO43-/NO3-) and multi-component (MET+PO43-+NO3-) adsorption in fixed-bed adsorption column was investigated using Prosopis juliflora activated carbon (PJAC). The influence of column operating parameters such as bed depth (H: 5-15 cm), influent flow rate (Q: 0.5-2 L/h) and adsorbate concentration (Co: 25-100 mg/L) on breakthrough curves were evaluated. The experimental data was correlated with breakthrough models viz. Thomas, Adams-Bohart, Yoon-Nelson and bed depth service time (BDST) models. The results showed that the Thomas model fitted the experimental data better than other models in predicting the breakthrough characteristics for the removal of MET, PO43- and NO3- by PJAC. The maximum adsorption capacity found by Thomas model was 9.70, 8.21 and 5.57 mg/g for MET, PO43- and NO3-, respectively. In multi-component systems, antagonistic behavior in sorption of MET, PO43- and NO3- was observed and as a result, adsorption capacity was 1.2-1.5 folds lesser than that observed in mono-component system. In conclusion, results of the present study indicate that the PJAC can be successfully employed for the removal of MET, PO43- and NO3- using fixed-bed adsorption column; however, the column design for multi-component mixture should be based on rapid breakthrough sorbate.

Abstract
The development of an adsorbent with high adsorption ability and favorable cyclic regeneration performance for the removal of nitrate residues from wastewater is a task of vital importance. To this end, polyacrylonitrile fiber (PANF) was modified with polyethyleneimine (PEI), and alkyl groups were then introduced around the active amine groups to prepare three polymer-based anion exchange fibers (PAN-PEI-3C, PAN-PEI-5C, and PAN-PEI-8C). The novel fibers were characterized using techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption isotherms of the fibers were best fitted by the Langmuir model, and PAN-PEI-5C exhibited a higher adsorption amount of nitrate (31.32 mg/g) than the other adsorbents. The equilibrium was reached expeditiously (within 10 min), and both pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models could well describe the adsorption kinetics. More attractively, the saturated PAN-PEI-5C could be eluted using a low-concentration (0.3 M) NaCl solution, without any sharp loss of adsorption amount for five consecutive cycles in the presence of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Furthermore, PAN-PEI-5C could effectively adsorb low-concentration nitrate from real secondary effluents in a fixed-bed column experiment. Our work provides a promising and low-cost material for the removal of nitrate residues in practical applications.

Abstract
The present work addresses the development of simple, low-cost and eco-friendly cocoa-shell-based materials for efficient removal of heavy metal hexavalent chromium (Cr(vi)), and toxic nitrate (NO3 -) from aqueous solution. A conventional treatment process was used to purify cocoa shell (CS) into an adsorbent, followed by chemical grafting of dendrimers to promote its surface properties for nitrate and Cr(vi) removal. The morphology, surface charge, structure and stability of the new adsorbent were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared and UV-visible spectroscopies, zeta potential, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry, and differential scanning calorimetry. The successful chemical grafting of the dendrimer (polyethyleneimine, PEI) onto purified CS was confirmed. CS-T-PEI-P proved to be a very efficient candidate for the removal of nitrate and chromium(vi). Removal of the two pollutants at different initial concentrations and pH values was studied and discussed. Sorption of chromium and nitrate was found to obey 2nd-order kinetics and a Freundlich-type isotherm, affording an uptake adsorption of 16.92 mg g-1 for NO3 - and 24.78 mg g-1 for Cr(vi). These results open promising prospects for its potential applications as a low cost catalyst in wastewater treatment.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND HEALTH. PART A, TOXIC/HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING 2020; 55:777-787. [PMID: 32186230 DOI: 10.1080/10934529.2020.1741998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2019] [Revised: 03/05/2020] [Accepted: 03/06/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a green adsorbent was synthesized for the removal of nitrate ions from water. The adsorbent consisted of carbonaceous particles with high specific surface area (1,240 m2 g-1) and porosity derived from pyrolysis of cornelian cherry stone and modified by protonated cross-linked chitosan. The adsorbent was characterized using various techniques like SEM, FTIR, BJH and zeta potential measurements. Dynamic behavior of the adsorbent in the nitrate adsorption was studied in a packed bed system at various operating conditions and in the presence of other competing anions (PO43-, HCO3-, SO42-). Based on the error analysis, the optimum operating conditions were considered at flow rate of 3.8 mL min-1, bed depth of 10 cm and nitrate concentration of 75 mg L-1. The kinetics of the adsorption process was studied using Adams-Bohart and Thomas models and the qmax was calculated to be about 12.4 mg g-1 at neutral pH and room temperature. Furthermore, the relationship between the bed height and the breakthrough time was described by bed depth service time (BDST) model. The experimental results suggested that the adsorbent possessed significant ability in nitrate removal from water due to the desired chemistry of the biopolymer and the excellent textural properties of the carbon support.

Abstract
Phosphorus and nitrogen compounds are both the main sources of eutrophication and coexist in some municipal effluents or eutrophic waters; elimination of phosphorus and nitrogen from wastewater is becoming an imperative but also a hard task. Herein, an innovative bifunctional nanocomposite HFO@TPR was developed for synchronous nitrate/phosphate elimination from water. A macroporous polystyrene microspheres modified with triethylamine functional groups was synthesized as the host of HFO@TPR for selective nitrate removal, and Fe(III) hydroxide (HFO) nanoparticles were implanted inside as the active species for specific phosphate removal. Compared to other commercial adsorbents, HFO@TPR exhibited outstanding selectivity and preference toward nitrates and phosphates, and the coexisting anions exert an insignificant effect on adsorption performance. Such exceptional bifuntionality of HFO@TPR was achieved through two pathways, that is, nitrate was preferentially adsorbed by the fixed triethylamine groups through the electrostatic attraction, and phosphate was preferentially captured by the encapsulated HFO nanoparticles through the inner-sphere complexation. The exhausted HFO@TPR could be effectively regenerated by using a NaOH-NaCl mixed reagent for cyclic use with a relative constant efficiency. In addition, column adsorption experiments demonstrated that HFO@TPR could eliminate nitrate from 18 to <10 mg N/L with the treatment capacity of ∼600 bed volume (BV), and meanwhile remove phosphate from 2.5 to <0.2 mg P/L with the treatment capacity of ∼750 BV. We believe what we found in this study could advance the method on how to develop bifunctional adsorbents for synchronous removal of coexisting contaminants from water.

Abstract
A novel anion exchange resin AEE-3 was synthesized by N-alkylation of a weakly basic polyacrylic anion exchanger D311 with 1-bromopropane to effectively remove nitrate (NO3−-N) from aqueous solution. The related finding revealed that its adsorption isotherm obeyed the Langmuir model well, and the second-order model was more validated for the NO3−-N adsorption kinetics study. Compared to commercially-available polystyrene-based nitrate specialty resin Purolite A 520E (A520E), AEE-3 resin has a higher adsorbed amount and better regeneration performance toward NO3−-N in the existence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) using static and dynamic methods. Notably, a real secondary treated wastewater (STWW) obtained from a local municipal wastewater treatment plant was also assessed for NO3−-N removal in fixed-bed columns. Observations from this study indicated that AEE-3 could effectively remove NO3−-N from contaminated surface water.

Abstract
Our research aimed at the removal of nitrate ions through adsorption by local clay. A series of batch experiments were conducted to examine the effects of contact time, adsorbent characteristics, initial concentration of nitrate, pH of the solution, concentration, and granulometry of adsorbent. Adsorption isotherms studies indicated that local clay satisfies Freundlich's model. The rate of reaction follows pseudo-second-order kinetics. Local clay successfully adsorbs nitrates at pH acid. The adsorption capacity under optimal conditions was found to be 5.1 mg/g. The adsorption yield increases with adsorbent dose and decrease with initial concentration of nitrate. The local clay was characterized by the X-ray fluorescence method (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electronics microscopy (SEM), and measurement of specific surface area (BET). The results of the study indicated that local clay is useful materials for the removal of nitrates from aqueous solutions which can be used in water treatment without any chemical modification.
