SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY FOR THE ENVIRONMENT 2024; 6:100092. [PMID: 38947873 PMCID: PMC11212447 DOI: 10.1016/j.scenv.2024.100092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
Untreated tannery wastewater contains a large amount of toxic metals, dyes, and other pollutants, which pose adverse effects on the ecosystem and public health. In this work, a calcium alginate-poly vinyl alcohol-graphene oxide (CA-PVA-GO) composite was prepared to remove metals and dyes, particularly Cr(Ⅲ) and CI acid violet 54 (AV54) dye, from tannery wastewater. FESEM, FTIR, and XRD analyses were applied to characterize the GO and CA-PVA-GO. Different operational variables, viz. pH (3.0-5.5 for Cr(III) and 2-7 for dye), dosage (0.164-2.46 g/L), contact time (10-60 min), initial concentration (39, 65, 98, and 201 ppm for Cr(III) and 21.5, 38.5, 54.5, and 61.75 ppm for dye), and temperature (298, 308, 318, and 328 K) were studied to evaluate the efficiency of the CA-PVA-GO composite. The optimum conditions for Cr(Ⅲ) and AV54 dye adsorption were found to be pH (5.0 and 3.0), dosage (0.82 g/L for both), and time (45 and 60 min), respectively, with 35.35 ± 1.43% and 84.63 ± 2.54% removal efficiency. The experimental data was analyzed through the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The maximum adsorption capacity (qm) was observed at 173.01 and 74.68 mg/g for Cr(Ⅲ) and AV54 dye, respectively. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model was fitted better (R2 = 0.981, 0.995, 0.92, and 0.995) than first-order for AV54 dye adsorption. Thermodynamic analyses revealed that the Cr(Ⅲ) and AV54 dye adsorption processes were spontaneous and exothermic. The value of Gibbs free energy (ΔG) for Cr(III) adsorption was obtained at -7.433, -4.508, -2.626, and -1.311 kJ/mol, whereas it was -5.178, -4.867, -4.628, and -4.555 kJ/mol for dye. The values of ΔH and ΔS were -67.257 and -0.198 kJ/mol for Cr(III) and -10.852 and -0.019 kJ/mol for the dye removal. The regenerated CA-PVA-GO composite was reused successfully. Different physicochemical parameters, viz., concentration, pH, TDS, EC, BOD5, and COD of chrome tanning and dyeing effluents, were analyzed before and after the adsorption. The results of chromium and dye removal from tannery wastewater were 53.18% and 93.91%, revealing that the developed eco-friendly CA-PVA-GO composite could be an operative adsorbent for tannery wastewater treatment and possibly scaled up to an industrial level.

Abstract
A large amount of untapped energy sources surrounds us. In this review, we summarize recent works of water-based energy harvesting systems with operation scales ranging from miniature systems to large scale attempts. We focus particularly on the triboelectric energy, which is produced when a liquid and a solid come into contact, and on the osmotic energy, which is released when salt water and fresh water are mixed. For both techniques we display the state of the art understanding (including electrical charge separation, electro-osmotic currents and induced currents) and the developed devices. A critical discussion of present works confirms the significant progress of these water-based energy harvesting systems in all scales. However, further efforts in efficiency and performance amelioration are expected for these technologies to accelerate the industrialization and commercialization procedure.

Abstract
As nonspecific adsorption or biofouling has obvious side effects on the selectivity, it is a great challenge for cytosensors to detect target cells in practical biological samples. In this study, we first propose the design and synthesis of an antifouling photoelectrode. The antifouling photoelectrode not only has the desired photocurrent response, but also possesses an unexpected antifouling capability of resisting nonspecific adsorption of biomolecules. Herein, the PEDOT-HPG/SnS/ZnO-NT antifouling photoelectrode was formed and a robust photoelectrochemical cytosensor with enhanced sensitivity and selectivity has been demonstrated.

Abstract
The quality of water is continuously under threat as increasing concentrations of pollutants escape into the aquatic environment. However, these issues can be alleviated by adsorbing pollutants onto adsorbents. Chitosan and its composites are attracting considerable interest as environmentally acceptable adsorbents and have the potential to remove many of these contaminants. In this review the development of chitosan-based adsorbents is described and discussed. Following a short introduction to the extraction of chitin from seafood wastes, followed by its conversion to chitosan, the properties of chitosan are described. Then, the emerging chitosan/carbon-based materials, including magnetic chitosan and chitosan combined with graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, biochar, and activated carbon and also chitosan-silica composites are introduced. The applications of these materials in the removal of various heavy metal ions, including Cr(VI), Pb(II), Cd(II), Cu(II), and different cationic and anionic dyes, phenol and other organic molecules, such as antibiotics, are reviewed, compared and discussed. Adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetics are then highlighted and followed by details on the mechanisms of adsorption and the role of the chitosan and the carbon or silica supports. Based on the reviewed papers, it is clear, that while some challenges remain, chitosan-based materials are emerging as promising adsorbents.

Abstract
Forward osmosis (FO) and pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) have gained attention recently as potential processes to solve water and energy scarcity problems with advantages over pressure-driven membrane processes. These processes can be designed to produce bioenergy and clean water at the same time (i.e., wastewater treatment with power generation). Despite having significant technological advancement, these bioenergy processes are yet to be implemented in full scale and commercialized due to its relatively low performance. Hence, massive and extensive research has been carried out to evaluate the variables in FO and PRO processes such as osmotic membrane, feed solutions, draw solutions, and operating conditions in order to maximize the outcomes, which include water flux and power density. However, these research findings have not been summarized and properly reviewed. The key parts of this review are to discuss the factors influencing the performance of FO and PRO with respective resulting effects and to determine the research gaps in their optimization with the aim of further improving these bioenergy processes and commercializing them in various industrial applications.

Abstract
Osmotic power generation has emerged as an advanced technology toward water-energy nexus to tackle global water pollution. It provides a sustainable use of salinity gradient from water resources yet encounters major obstacles caused by pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) membrane fouling. Although membranes with good antifouling properties are widely studied, their antifouling functions are readily lost when scratches or detachments occur through physical damage during operation and chemical degradation by water and corrosive foulants. Consequently, it is important to develop antifouling membranes with autonomous self-healing capabilities. Herein, self-healable functionalized poly(ether sulfone) (PES) antifouling membranes have been fabricated via the sequential conjugation of the zwitterionic random copolymer [poly(1-(1-(1-adamantylcarbonyloxy)methyl)-3-vinylimidazolium bromide-co-1-(3-sulfopropyl)-3-vinylimidazolium-co-vinylamine)] (P(ADVI-co-SBVI-co-VA), abbreviated as PASV copolymer) and linear cyclodextrin polymer (LPCD) on polydopamine-preactivated PES supports. The self-healing behaviors rely on the judiciously designed "button-and-buttonhole" supramolecular network. Specifically, β-cyclodextrins in LPCD and adamantines in PASV act as "buttonholes" and "buttons", respectively. Under physical and chemical damages, the β-cyclodextrin "buttonhole" may sacrificially detach from the adamantine "button" of PASV but then recap another adamantine to restore the protective function. The antifouling and self-healing traits of as-functionalized PES-g-PASV-LPCD membranes were demonstrated by the superior antiprotein behaviors and improved antimicrobial performances on both nonaged and aged samples. In the PRO process, the modified membranes were effective in mitigating organic fouling and exhibited higher power density (79% of the initial value) than the nonmodified ones (47% of the initial value) in municipal wastewater testing. The strategy for engineering inherently healable and antifouling membranes paves a new pathway for the development of sustainable membranes for osmotic power production.

Abstract
We have incorporated Na+-functionalized carbon quantum dots (Na-CQDs) into the polyamide layer via interfacial polymerization reaction and developed novel thin film nanocomposite (TFN) hollow fiber membranes for brackish water desalination. Comparing with the conventional thin film composite (TFC) membranes, the TFN membranes comprising Na-CQDs have a larger effective surface area, thinner polyamide layer and more hydrophilic oxygen-containing groups in the polyamide layer. Besides, the interstitial space among the polyamide chains becomes larger due to the presence of Na-CQDs. As a result, the incorporation of 1 wt% Na-CQDs into the polyamide layer could improve the pure water permeability (PWP) of the membranes from 1.74 LMH/bar to 2.56 LMH/bar by 47.1% without compromising their NaCl rejection of 97.7%. Interestingly, stabilization of the TFN hollow fiber membranes containing 1 wt% Na-CQDs at 23 bar could further promote the PWP to 4.27 LMH/bar and the salt rejection to 98.6% under the same testing conditions due to the deformation of the membranes under a high hydraulic pressure. When using a 2000 ppm NaCl aqueous solution as the feed, the optimal water flux and rejection of the newly developed TFN membranes at 15 bar are 57.65 ± 3.26 LMH and 98.6% ± 0.35% respectively. The Na-CQDs incorporated TFN hollow fiber membranes show promising applications in the field of brackish water desalination.

Abstract
Biofouling can be overcome with zwitterion grafts and antimicrobial, metallic nanoparticles. However, the mechanism underpinning this effective approach remains unclear. To elucidate the role of each component in this system while maximizing membrane antifouling and antimicrobial properties, here we performed a comparative study to investigate the impact of zwitterion type and their interactions with Ag of various states. Two different zwitterions (SO3--based and COO--based) were employed to modify polyamide (PA) thin film composite (TFC) membranes, and the metallized and mineralized membranes were developed via in situ formation of silver (Ag) nanoparticles and deposition of silver chloride (AgCl) particles on the zwitterion-modified TFC membranes. The presence of zwitterions was key to enhance Ag content, resulting in significantly improved antimicrobial and antifouling properties without compromising the nanofiltration separation performance. COO--based zwitterions were found more favorable toward Ag metallization and mineralization compared to SO3--based zwitterions. The underlying mechanisms underpinning this discovery were further revealed using density functional theory (DFT) to reveal Gibbs free energy of the binding between zwitterions and Ag+ ions. This fundamental knowledge is crucial for designing next-generation antibiofouling strategies.

Abstract
Polyethersulfone (PES) has good thermal stability, superior pH, chlorine tolerance, and excellent chemical resistance; however, the hydrophilicity and biocompatibility of PES need to be improved for its real applications. In this study, we report a surface modification method for the preparation of a functional PES membrane with hydrophilic polymer chains (MPC and GMA) via surface-initiated electrochemically-mediated atom-transfer radical polymerization (SI-eATRP) technology, and the Arg–Glu–Asp–Val polypeptide groups (REDV) were immobilized onto the modified membrane by a ring-opening reaction. XPS and SEM were used to analyze the chemical composition and morphology of the modified membrane surfaces, confirming that the hydrophilic polymer chains MPC and GMA and the polypeptide group REDV were successfully grafted onto the PES membrane surface. The static water contact angle decreased from 89° to 50–65°, and the hydrophilic property of the modified membrane was enhanced. The water flux increased from 4.29 L m−2 h−1 for the pristine PES membrane to 25 L m−2 h−1 for the modified membrane with PGMA chains grafted on it and REDV functional groups immobilized on it; note that the antifouling tests showed that all the modified membranes had the higher flux recovery ratio values (FRR) of above 80% than the pristine PES membrane (about 60%), and the APTT for the modified membrane increased from 46 s to 93 s, indicating that these modified membranes could be applied in the separation and blood purification fields. A block copolymer involving chains of poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine-co-glycidyl methacrylate) and Arg–Glu–Asp–Val was designed and used for modification of polymer membrane for applications in separation and blood purification field.![]()
