Abstract
Nowadays, nickel oxide nanoparticles are in great demands owing to their use in many sectors. These nanoparticles may release into aquatic environment from different industries and cause negative effect on aquatic flora and fauna. Therefore, an effective and efficient method is required to remove these nanoparticles from contaminated water. Hence, the aim of this study was to bioremediate nickel oxide nanoparticles using a macrofungus, Pleurotus fossulatus, and to analyze its impact on fungal physiology. For this purpose, fungal spawns were inoculated in malt dextrose agar media containing different concentrations of nickel oxide nanoparticles (24 mg/l, 48 mg/l, and 100 mg/l) as well as control group (having no nickel oxide nanoparticles) and allowed to grow for a period of 20 days. Fungal mycelia as well as media were collected at different time intervals (5th day, 10th day, 15th day, and 20th day) for evaluation of Ni concentration and different biochemical parameters. Ni removal efficiency of P. fossulatus from media was found to be highest in 48 mg/l (66.98%) followed by 24 mg/l (60.83%) and 100 mg/l (18.03%), respectively. Increased level of metallothionein, lipid peroxidation, activity of different antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione s transferase, glutathione reductase), activity of ligninolytic enzymes (laccase, lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase), and shift in FTIR spectra were also reported in mycelia cultured in malt dextrose agar media containing nickel oxide nanoparticles. This study suggests that P. fossulatus has great efficiency to remediate nanoparticles from contaminated water and it can be utilized as potential agent in wastewater treatment plants by different industries.

Abstract
The problem that has aroused the interest of this review refers to the harmful effect of heavy metals on water sources due to industrial development. In this respect, the review is aimed at achieving a literature survey on the outstanding results and advancements in membranes and membrane technologies for the advanced treatment of heavy metal-loaded wastewaters. Particular attention is given to synthetic polymer membranes, for which the proper choice of precursor material can provide cost benefits while ensuring good decontamination activity. Furthermore, it was also found that better removal efficiencies of heavy metals are achieved by combining the membrane properties with the adsorption properties of inorganic powders. The membrane processes of interest from the perspective of industrial applications are also discussed. A noteworthy conclusion is the fact that the main differences between membranes, which refer mainly to the definition and density of the pore structure, are the prime factors that affect the separation process of heavy metals. Literature studies reveal that applying UF/MF approaches prior to RO leads to a better purification performance.

Abstract
In recent years, the domain of the research space in novel separation process has been led by membrane systems as a panacea providing multifarious benefits of high separation efficiency, elimination of extreme process conditions, sustainability, and environment friendliness coupled with high operational flexibility. In this niche area, often, ultrafiltration is touted as a robust separation technique due to its high separation efficiency, membrane stability, and lower operating costs. The only drawback of relatively large pore size can be overcome by combining surfactant addition, leading to development of integrated processes termed as Micellar Enhanced Ultrafiltration. MEUF processes isolate and selectively separate valuable organics present in effluent streams. The process characteristics fit the bill as a typified example for process intensification Technology interventions for recycling of surfactants can enhance the cost-competitiveness of the process. This has the potential to develop into a broad-spectrum effluent treatment option with a change of surfactants for target contaminants. Here, in this review, we attempt to critically examine the unique features of this technology, development of spin-offs with wide-ranging applications. Specifically applications in removal of hazardous, and persistent components like dissolved organics have been critically studied. The focus was to highlight the crux of the novel technologies highlighting the efficacy and the underlying concept of process intensification. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Role of MEUF as a sustainable process intensifying separation technique for removal and recovery of organics. Novel process development using MEUF. Comparative performance analysis to assess efficacy. Discussions on future integrative process development. Sustainability aspect of MEUF with possibility of byproduct recovery.

Abstract
Micelle enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) is a surfactant-based membrane separation process that may be used to separate target ions from mixed metal aqueous solutions, such as leachates of coal ash and other geological wastewaters. The ability of MEUF to separate rare earth elements (REEs) was evaluated using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as the sorbent in surfactant micelle phase, which was subsequently separated using ultrafiltration, acidification, and ferricyanide precipitation. Separation experiments were performed with a synthetic coal ash leachate feedstock as an example mixed-metal feedstock. Experiments tested the influence of surfactant concentration, pH, and co-existing competitive ions on REE recoveries, and also tested methods for SDS recovery and reuse. Membrane rejection efficiencies of REEs were 97% and 71% respectively for synthetic and real leachate under optimized operating conditions. A two-step process of precipitation with CaCl2 and Na2CO3 following membrane separation was the best for recovering SDS with a yield of 99.7%.

Abstract
Micellar enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) of o-toluidine and tricyclazole in aqueous stream using polyethersulfone (PES) hollow-fibre membrane of 6 kDa molecule weight cut-off (MWCO) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as anionic surfactant was studied. It was found that the concentration ratio and adsorption ratio were better for the determination of the optimal pollutant or surfactant concentration than the rejection rate. The excessive dosage of surfactant had only limited effect on the separation and concentration of o-toluidine and tricyclazole but could further decrease the permeate flux. The transmembrane pressure had a significantly positive effect on the permeate flux and recovery ratio. o-Toluidine was significantly separated and concentrated by lowering the solution pH, while tricyclazole reached the best treatment efficiency in near-neutral pH condition. The sodium salts (i.e. Na2SO4, NaCl and Na2CO3) could lead to the increase in the adsorption ratio of SDS. However, Na2CO3 could result in the decrease in both the rejection rates and adsorption ratios of o-toluidine and tricyclazole. The distribution coefficient, micellar loading and micelle binding constant were evaluated to confirm the effectiveness for the MEUF treatment of these two pollutants.

Abstract
Abstract
The isolation of dye (methylene blue) by employing a foam fractionation technique with the assistance of a surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate) has been dealt with in this paper. This study also incorporated the comparison between contrasted and experimental columns. Taguchi methodology and grey relational analysis techniques were used to ascertain optimal conditions at which the column should be operated to achieve maximum percentage removal and enrichment ratio, for both the columns. The analysis of variance study suggested dye concentration to be the most influencing parameter. The relationship between dye concentration in the bulk phase and the foam phase was also deduced.

Abstract
Herein, Acac-C@Fe3O4, a magnetic carbon (C@Fe3O4) modified with acetylacetone (Acac), was first prepared and used as a solid-phase adsorbent for adsorbing some heavy metal ions from aqueous solution. The adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) and BET studies. Some parameters affecting the adsorption and desorption processes were studied in Pb2+ solution, including sample pH, contact time, initial concentration, type and connection of the desorption solution. Absorption results showed that removal of Pb2+ was 100% under optimal conditions at an initial concentration of 10.0 mg L−1. The adsorption mechanism conformed well to a pseudo-second order kinetic model. The adsorption capacity of the sorbent also showed promising results with Hg2+, Cr3+, Fe2+, Cd2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Cu2+ and Pb2+, where maximum adsorption capacities reached 98.0, 151.2, 188.9, 202.2, 286.3, 297.2, 305.1 and 345.3 mg g−1, respectively. The Acac-C@Fe3O4 microsphere material was successfully applied to the adsorption of heavy metal ions in aqueous solution.

Abstract
Hydrometallurgical processes for the treatment and recovery of metals from waste electrical and electronic equipment produce wastewaters containing heavy metals. These residual solutions cannot be discharged into the sewer without an appropriate treatment. Specific wastewater treatments integrated with the hydrometallurgical processes ensure a sustainable recycling loops of the electrical wastes to maximize the metals recovery and minimize the amount of wastes and wastewaters produced. In this research activity the efficiency of ultrafiltration combined with surfactant micelles (micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration) was tested to remove metals form leach liquors obtained after leaching of NiMH spent batteries. In the micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration, a surfactant is added into the aqueous stream containing contaminants or solute above its critical micelle concentration. When the surfactant concentration exceeding this critical value, the surfactant monomers will assemble and aggregate to form micelles having diameter larger than the pore diameter of ultrafiltration membrane. Micelles containing contaminants whose diameter is larger than membrane pore size will be rejected during ultrafiltration process, leaving only water, unsolubilized contaminants and surfactant monomers in permeate stream. The experiments are carried out in a lab-scale plant, where a tubular ceramic ultrafiltration membrane is used with adding a surfactant to concentrate heavy metals in the retentate stream, producing a permeate of purified water that can be reused inside the process, thus minimizing the fresh water consumption.

Abstract
This study is aiming to investigate tetravalent manganese feroxyhyte (TMFx) adsorption efficiency in removing heavy metals. The motivation of this study was the fact that TMFx is a highly negatively charged nanostructure material and that the metals Cd, Hg, and Ni were characterized as priority pollutants for drinking water. TMFx was evaluated through batch and continuous flow experiments in National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) water matrix which simulated the physicochemical characteristics of natural water. Water's pH significantly influences Cd and Ni adsorption efficiency which gradually increases when pH value rises from 5 to 9, while the corresponding one for Hg remains almost constant. Thermodynamic data showed a spontaneous and an exothermic nature weak-chemisorption (ΔΗ° = -17.5 ± 2 kJ/mol) of Cd, Ni, and Hg by TMFx. The determined ranking of adsorption affinity and selectivity (Cd > Ni > Hg) seems to be governed by the metals' speciation, as well as by hydration free energy, which is influenced, however, by their atomic radius. The lower adsorption capacity and selectivity of TMFx for Hg should be attributed both to uncharged species and to higher atomic radius. The similar Cd and Ni speciation in the NSF water matrix leads to the conclusion that the better affinity, selectivity, and adsorption kinetic of Cd versus Ni should be attributed to the lower hydration free energy of Cd which is in turn related to its higher atomic radius. The faster adsorption kinetic (Hg > Cd > Ni) of Hg may be attributed to the lower radius of its anhydrate species. Furthermore, TMFx showed high removal efficiency under continuous flow application in an adsorption bed setup. The determined uptake capacity (q RL) at equilibrium-breakthrough concentration equal to the drinking water regulation limit (RL) of each metal were q 1 = 2.5 μg Hg/mg TMFx, q 5 = 5.2 μg Cd/mg TMFx, and q 20 = 7.1 μg Ni/mg TMFx. Leaching tests of spent TMFx samples from the rapid small-scale column tests (RSSCTs) could be treated either as inert wastes after Cd and Ni adsorption or as non-hazardous waste after Hg adsorption.

Abstract
In this paper, the efficiency of micellar enhanced ultrafiltration technique (MEUF) was tested for the removal of yttrium and zinc ions from synthetic industrial liquid wastes. UF membranes (monotubular ceramic membranes of 210 kDa and 1 kDa molecular weight cut-off) were used with adding an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). A two - level full factorial design was performed in order to evaluate the effect of molecular weight cut-off, sodium dodecyl sulfate concentration and pressure on the permeate flux and rejection yields. It was found that the single factors presented the largest influence on the permeate flux: the membrane pore size and the pressure had positive effect, instead the SDS had negative effect. Regarding the metal rejection yields the main relevant factors were the membrane pore size with a negative effect, followed by the surfactant concentration with a positive effect. The effect of the pressure seemed to be almost negligible, for zinc removal experiments had a positive effect in the interactions with the surfactant and membrane pore size. The results showed that very good removal percentages up to 99% were achieved for both metals under the following conditions: 1 kDa membrane MWCO, in the presence of the surfactant at a concentration above CMC independently of the investigated pressure.

Vaseem H, Singh VK, Singh MP. Heavy metal pollution due to coal washery effluent and its decontamination using a macrofungus, Pleurotus ostreatus. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2017; 145:42-49. [PMID: 28704692 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2017.07.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2017] [Revised: 06/22/2017] [Accepted: 07/03/2017] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
Release of the effluent generated during washing of coal became a major problem for coal industries due to presence of many toxic metals and other pollutants. These effluents are the main source of pollution in rivers and other water bodies. Therefore in this study, we tried to analyse the toxicity of coal washery effluent (CWE) collected from one of the washery plant situated in Dhanbad, India. CWE was found to be very toxic containing large amount of suspended particles and many heavy metals above than their permissible limits. Mycoremediation of CWE was also performed to decontaminate heavy metals from the CWE using a macrofungi Pleurotus ostreatus. Efficiency of Pleurotus for remediation of heavy metals was found to be highest in the 50% diluted effluent (57.2% Mn, 82.6% Zn, 98.0% Ni, 99.9% Cu, 99.3% Co, 99.1% Cr, 89.2% Fe and 35.6% Pb) followed by 25% diluted effluent (33.0% Mn, 55.1% Zn, 97.8% Ni, 99.7% Cu, 97% Co, 84.4% Cr, 87.1% Fe and 73.4% Pb) and raw effluent (23.3% Mn, 73.1% Zn, 78.7% Ni, 87.5% Cu, 59.3% Co, 64.6% Cr, 34.6% Fe and 11.3% Pb) respectively. Increased activity of antioxidant enzymes, lipid peroxidation, concentration of metallothionein proteins and changes in peaks of FTIR spectra were also observed in fungal mycelia grown on the CWE containing media due to accumulation of different metals. Overall this study suggests that Pleurotus can be used as promising option for removal of heavy metals from the effluent released from washery plants and dilution of effluent could increase the efficiency of remediation.

Abstract
Surfactant micelles combined with ultrafiltration can partially, or sometimes nearly completely, separate various ionic and nonionic pollutants from water. To this end, the selectivity of aqueous micelles composed of either cetyltrimethylammonium (CTA+) bromide or cetylpyridinium (CP+) chloride toward many environmentally relevant anions (IO3-, F-, Cl-, HCO3-, NO2-, Br-, NO3-, H2PO4-, HPO42-, SO42-, and CrO42-) was investigated. Selectivity coefficients of CTA+ micelles (with respect to Br-) and CP+ micelle (with respect to Cl-) for these anions were evaluated using a simple thermodynamic ion exchange model. The sequence of anion affinity for the CTA+ micelles and for the CP+ micelles were the same, with decreasing affinity occurring in the order of: CrO42- > SO42- > HPO42- > NO3- > Br- > NO2- > Cl- > HCO3- > H2PO4- ≈ F-. From the associated component mass balance and ion exchange (i.e., mass action) equations, an overall speciation model was developed to predict the distribution of all anions between the aqueous and micellar pseudophase for complex ionic mixtures. Experimental results of both artificial and real surface waters were in good agreement to model predictions. Further, the results indicated that micelles combined with ultrafiltration may be a potential technology for nutrient and other pollutant removal from natural or effluent waters.

Abstract
A new type of foam fractionation column with spiral internal had been designed for enhancing the foam drainage and thus for the removal of minute hazardous materials. The column without spiral internal was served as the comparison column, and an anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was used as the foaming solution. Effects of liquid loading volume, initial SDS concentration and superficial gas velocity on enrichment ratio and recovery percentage of SDS were investigated. The experimental results showed that the spiral column successfully enhanced the enrichment ratio of SDS by reducing countercurrent resistance between the rising bubbles and the entrained liquid of reflux. Enrichment ratio of SDS obtained by using the spiral column was 15.7, which was 2.5 times of that obtained by using the comparison column under the suitable operating conditions of liquid loading volume 0.4 L, initial SDS concentration 0.2g/L and superficial gas velocity 1.7 mm/s.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems today. The treatment of heavy metals is of special concern due to their recalcitrance and persistence in the environment. In recent years, various methods for heavy metal removal from wastewater have been extensively studied. This paper reviews the current methods that have been used to treat heavy metal wastewater and evaluates these techniques. These technologies include chemical precipitation, ion-exchange, adsorption, membrane filtration, coagulation-flocculation, flotation and electrochemical methods. About 185 published studies (1988-2010) are reviewed in this paper. It is evident from the literature survey articles that ion-exchange, adsorption and membrane filtration are the most frequently studied for the treatment of heavy metal wastewater.

Abstract
Single and simultaneous removal of Cd(2+) and methylene blue (MB) with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) by micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration under different experimental conditions was investigated. In single removal process, with initial SDS concentration increasing, the removal efficiency of Cd(2+) and MB kept increasing and then decreased. When the initial concentrations of SDS and Cd(2+) were 1.0 cmc and 50 mg L(-1), respectively, the maximum removal efficiency of Cd(2+) was obtained as 99.2%. Removal efficiency of MB could achieve more than 99.9% with initial SDS concentration below 2.0 cmc. As compared with single Cd(2+) removal, the removal efficiency of Cd(2+) in the presence of MB was slightly higher with initial SDS concentration below 1.0 cmc, while decreased with the SDS concentration above 1.0 cmc. The maximum removal efficiency of Cd(2+) was 98.8% when initial concentrations of SDS and MB were 1.0 cmc and 4 mg L(-1), respectively. The removal efficiency of MB in the presence of Cd(2+) could achieve higher than 96.5%, which was only 3.4% less than the optimum result of the single removal. Meanwhile, effect of pH on removal efficiency of Cd(2+) was more significant than that of MB.
