Abstract
Arsenic (As) is abundant in the environment and can be found in both organic (e.g., methylated) and inorganic (e.g., arsenate and arsenite) forms. The source of As in the environment is attributed to both natural reactions and anthropogenic activities. As can also be released naturally to groundwater through As-bearing minerals including arsenopyrites, realgar, and orpiment. Similarly, agricultural and industrial activities have elevated As levels in groundwater. High levels of As in groundwater pose serious health risks and have been regulated in many developed and developing countries. In particular, the presence of inorganic forms of As in drinking water sources gained widespread attention due to their cellular and enzyme disruption activities. The research community has primarily focused on reviewing the natural occurrence and mobilization of As. Yet, As originating from anthropogenic activities, its mobility, and potential treatment techniques have not been covered. This review summarizes the origin, geochemistry, occurrence, mobilization, microbial interaction of natural and anthropogenic-As, and common remediation technologies for As removal from groundwater. In addition, As remediation methods are critically evaluated in terms of practical applicability at drinking water treatment plants, knowledge gaps, and future research needs. Finally, perspectives on As removal technologies and associated implementation limitations in developing countries and small communities are discussed.

[PMID: 35995185 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.136115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Biosorption is an environment-friendly and economic technique to remediate heavy metals from aqueous systems. In the present study, Artocarpus heterophyllus seed powder was used as a biosorbent material to remove different heavy metals. The batch adsorption studies confirmed the higher removal percentage of the Artocarpus heterophyllus (jackfruit) seed powder for arsenic (As5+), cadmium (Cd2+), and chromium (Cr6+) while lower efficiency was observed for other heavy metals like copper (Cu2+), zinc (Zn2+) and nickel (Ni2+). Optimization of different process parameters was carried out and the optimum conditions were: adsorbent weight of 0.5 g for the initial concentration of heavy metals as 40 μg/L, 30 mg/L, and 30 mg/L; contact time of 10 h, 8 h, and 6 h; process temperature from 25 to 30 °C; pH of 7, 7.5, and 7.5 for As5+, Cd2+, and Cr6+ respectively. The SEM-EDX, FTIR, and XRD studies before and after adsorption of heavy metals resulted in affirmative observations. The equilibrium data of the study was well fitted for Langmuir isotherm for As5+, Cd2+, and Cr6+, Freundlich for As5+and Cr6+, Dubinin-Radushkevich for Cd2+and Cr6+. The kinetic and thermodynamic study confirmed that the adsorption of all three heavy metals was following the pseudo-second-order kinetics with the endothermic and spontaneous process respectively. The cost analysis of the process confirmed that the whole process was cost-effective compared to other processes. Hence the Artocarpus heterophyllus seed powder was verified for its high heavy metal remediation efficiency from aqueous environments along with the added advantages of being eco-friendly and economic compared to other alternatives.

Abstract
The conventional method of water treatment using activated carbon from several sources has been focused on extensively in the last two decades. However, rare attention has been noticed on natural adsorbents such as plant leaves. Therefore, the Psidium guajava (guava) leaf has been investigated to understand its adsorption efficacy for Arsenic (III) [As(III)] in this study. The effect of process variables, e.g., pH, concentration of metal ion, adsorbent's particle size, and dosages, are evaluated. Experiments are carried out in batch mode, and the individual and combined parameter's impact on adsorption have been discussed. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used to characterize the adsorbent's surface. Freundlich and Langmuir's isotherms are used for adsorption equilibrium study. The adsorption parameters are optimized by establishing a regression correlation using central composite design (CCD) of response surface methodology (RSM). The analysis of variance (ANOVA) suggests a high regression coefficient (R2 = 0.9249) for the removal of As(III). Particle size of 0.39 mm; adsorbent's height of 10 cm; metal ion concentration of 30 ppm, and pH 6 are optimized to remove 90.88% As(III) from aqueous solution. HCl is evaluated as a potential solvent for desorption of arsenic from the desorption study.

Abstract
This study proposes a unique way of preparation of biocoagulant from Moringa oleifera defatted seed press cake. The press cake used in this study is a waste material produced as a by-product during cold press oil making from Moring oleifera seeds. The prepared Moringa oleifera seed defatted press cake based biocoagulant was found more effective than presently used metallic and polymer-based coagulants and flocculants for removal of fine particles of colloidal size from the effluent generated in the process of coal beneficiation. The detailed characterization of Moringa oleifera defatted seed press cake and the prepared biocoagulant for Particle size, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-Ray analysis, Zeta Potential, Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy, etc. was done. The biocoagulant has been found effective in 97.4% total suspended solids removal and 97.48% turbidity removal from coal beneficiation plant effluent. The biocoagulant has been found to work satisfactorily under high fluxes of turbidity and total suspended solids with high removal of fine particles. The age of biocoagulant had negligible effect on fine particle removal efficiency (97.4% for fresh to 95% for 3-week-old biocoagulant). Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy analysis reveals considerable increase in flocs size from 198 nm to a 20 μ size well-developed flocs. The biocoagulant has proved as an efficient substitute of the metallic and polymer-based coagulants for the efficient treatment of coal beneficiation plant effluent.

Abstract
This study explored an eco-friendly approach for the synthesis of novel aluminium enriched ferric oxide-hydroxide (Fe/AlO(OH)) from authentic acid mine drainage (AMD). The synthesized Fe/AlO(OH) was subsequently tested for arsenate removal capabilities. Fe/AlO(OH) was synthesized from bona fide AMD via selective precipitation, thermal activation, and vibratory ball milling. One-factor-at-a-time (OFAAT) method was used to optimize operational parameters, which include adsorbent dosage, concentration, pH, agitation time, and temperature. Optimized conditions were observed to be 150 ppm of As(V), Solid: Liquid ratio - 1 g: 250 mL, contact time of 60 min, and ambient temperature and pH. Limited temperature and pH effects on adsorption were observed. Equilibrium data fits using Langmuir-, Freundlich-, Two surface Langmuir-, Dubinin-Radushkevich-, and Dubinin-Astokov isotherm models showed highly favorable adsorption conditions, the highest known maximum adsorption capacity for As(V) of 102-129 mg g-1, and coupled physisorption/diffusion limited adsorption. Thermodynamic analysis showed positive Gibbs free energy (ΔG°), negative enthalpy change (ΔH°), and positive entropy change (ΔS°) - likely a result of an inner sphere complexation of the As(V) with the Fe/Al surface. Considering the obtained results, valorization of AMD for the synthesis of Fe/AlO(OH) was viable and effective. This initiative could potentially minimize the footprints of AMD and arsenic pollution.

Effects of Moringa oleifera leaf extracts and its bioactive compound gallic acid on reducing toxicities of heavy metals and metalloid in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 270:128659. [PMID: 33757277 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.128659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2020] [Revised: 09/26/2020] [Accepted: 10/15/2020] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
Moringa oleifera leaf extract is rich in antioxidants and has high potential for use to alleviate metal toxicity. Previously, we have reported the roles of aqueous M. oleifera leaf extract in mitigating intracellular cadmium (Cd) accumulation and Cd-induced oxidative stress. In this study, we investigated the protective role of aqueous and/or ethanolic M. oleifera leaf extracts (AMOLE and/or EMOLE) against other metal(loid)s in the eukaryotic model Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Our results show that only the AMOLE remarkably promoted the growth of yeast cells grown in the presence of arsenite (As(III)), Cd, nickel (Ni), and lead (Pb). Although the AMOLE contained lower amount of total phenolic and flavonoid contents and displayed lower DPPH scavenging capacity than the EMOLE, both AMOLE and EMOLE had the same capacity for reducing intracellular ROS levels in yeast cells exposed to As(III), Cd, Ni, and Pb. Moreover, the AMOLE was more effective than the EMOLE in inhibiting intracellular accumulation of these toxic metal(loid)s. In addition, we found that gallic acid, one of important phenolic constituents present in both extracts, could protect yeast cells against As(III) toxicity, likely through its role in decreasing As(III) accumulation and As(III)-induced ROS production. Furthermore, the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups of gallic acid appear to play a critical role in chelating As(III). The present study suggests the promising applications of the AMOLE (and also gallic acid) as protective agents against hazardous metal(loid)s.

Comparison of Heavy Metals Removal from Aqueous Solution by Moringa oleifera Leaves and Seeds. COATINGS 2021.

Abstract
In this work, biomass obtained from seeds (S-MO) and leaves (L-MO) of the Moringa oleifera plant were used as low-cost biosorbents to remove the Pb(II), Cd(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) from aqueous solutions. The biosorption of the heavy metal ions was done using the batch technique. The effects of contact time (30–1440 min), biosorbent dosage (10–50 g/L) (0.1–0.5 g), and initial concentration of metals (10–500 mg/L) on the sorption capacity of metal ions were investigated. The S-MO and L-MO samples’ characterization was performed using pHpzc, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). It was found that the pHpzc was notably different between the seeds and leave-derived biosorbents. The removal process’s experimental kinetic data for both S-MO and L-MO were best described by the pseudo-second-order model for all metal ions, with R2 above 0.997 in all cases. Langmuir and Freundlich’s models were also used to analyze the isotherms parameters. Based on the Langmuir model, the maximum sorption capacities (Qm) for L-MO were found as follows: L-MO-Pb > L-MO-Cd > L-MO-Co ≥ L-MO-Ni, and for S-MO, the values of Qm values presented the following order: S-MO-Pb > S-MO-Co > S-MO-Cd > S-MO-Ni.

Abstract
Spent mushroom compost (SMC) is a lignocellulose-rich waste material commonly used in the passive treatment of heavy metal-contaminated environments. In this study, we investigated the bioremediation potential of SMC against an inorganic form of arsenic, examining the individual abiotic and biotic transformations carried out by SMC. We demonstrated, that key SMC physiological groups of bacteria (denitrifying, cellulolytic, sulfate-reducing, and heterotrophic) are resistant to arsenites and arsenates, while the microbial community in SMC is also able to oxidize As(III) and reduce As(V) in respiratory metabolisms, although the SMC did not contain any As. We showed, that cooperation between arsenate and sulfate-reducing bacteria led to the precipitation of AsxSy. We also found evidence of the significant role organic acids may play in arsenic complexation, and we demonstrated the occurrence of As-binding proteins in the SMC. Furthermore, we confirmed, that biofilm produced by the microbial community in SMC was able to trap As(V) ions. We postulated, that the above-mentioned transformations are responsible for the sorption efficiency of As(V) (up to 25%) and As(III) (up to 16%), as well as the excellent buffering properties of SMC observed in the sorption experiments.

Abstract
Over the past decades, extensive efforts have been made to use biomass-based-materials for wastewater-treatment. The first purpose of this study was to develop and characterize regenerated-reed/reed-charcoal (RR-ChR), an enhanced biosorbent from Tunisian-reed (Phragmites-australis). The second aim was to assess and optimize the RR-ChR use for the removal of binary ciprofloxacin antibiotic (CIP) and methylene blue dye (MB), using Central Composite Design under Response Surface methodology. The third purpose was to explain the mechanisms involved in the biosorption-process. The study revealed that the highest removal-percentages (76.66 % for the CIP and 100 % for the MB) were obtained under optimum conditions: 1.55 g/L of adsorbent, 35 mg/L of CIP, 75 mg/L of MB, a pH of 10.42 and 115.28 min contact time. It showed that the CIP biosorption mechanism was described by Brouers-Sotolongo-fractal model, with regression-coefficient (R2) of 0.9994 and a Person's Chi-square (X2) of 0.01. The Hill kinetic model better described the MB biosorption (R2 = 1 and X2 = 1.0E-4). The isotherm studies showed that the adsorbent surface was heterogeneous and the best nonlinear-fit was obtained with the Jovanovich (R2 = 0.9711), and Brouers-Sotolongo (R2 = 0.9723) models, for the CIP and MB adsorption, respectively. Finally, the RR-ChR lignocellulosic-biocomposite-powder could be adopted as efficient and cost-effective adsorbent.

Abstract
Biological materials play a significant role in the treatment of heavy metal-contaminated soil and wastewater. In this study, the Pb2+ biosorption potential of lichen Evernia prunastri, extensively available at a forest in Bilecik-Turkey, was investigated at batch-scale level. The optimal conditions were determined and the adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamic calculations were also done. In order to have detailed knowledge about metal biosorption, SEM, FTIR, and BET analyses were carried out before and after the biosorption process. The optimal pH was found pH 4 and the maximum metal uptake capacity was found as 0.067 mol kg-1. The results of this study indicate that the lichen was effectively applied to the removal of Pb2+ process as an inexpensive biosorbent from industrial wastewater.

Abstract
The genus Moringa Adans. comprises 13 species, of which Moringa oleifera Lam. native to India and cultivated across the world owing to its drought and frost resistance habit is widely used in traditional phytomedicine and as rich source of essential nutrients. Wide spectrum of phytochemical ingredients among leaf, flower, fruit, seed, seed oil, bark, and root depend on cultivar, season, and locality. The scientific studies provide insights on the use of M. oleifera with different aqueous, hydroalcoholic, alcoholic, and other organic solvent preparations of different parts for therapeutic activities, that is, antibiocidal, antitumor, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardio-protective, hepato-protective, neuro-protective, tissue-protective, and other biological activities with a high degree of safety. A wide variety of alkaloid and sterol, polyphenols and phenolic acids, fatty acids, flavanoids and flavanol glycosides, glucosinolate and isothiocyanate, terpene, anthocyanins etc. are believed to be responsible for the pragmatic effects. Seeds are used with a view of low-cost biosorbent and coagulant agent for the removal of metals and microbial contamination from waste water. Thus, the present review explores the use of M. oleifera across disciplines for its prominent bioactive ingredients, nutraceutical, therapeutic uses and deals with agricultural, veterinarian, biosorbent, coagulation, biodiesel, and other industrial properties of this "Miracle Tree."

Abstract
Globally, the contamination of water with arsenic is a serious health issue. Recently, several researches have endorsed the efficiency of biomass to remove As (III) via adsorption process, which is distinguished by its low cost and easy technique in comparison with conventional solutions. In the present work, biomass was prepared from indigenous Bacillus thuringiensis strain WS3 and was evaluated to remove As (III) from aqueous solution under different contact time, temperature, pH, As (III) concentrations and adsorbent dosages, both experimentally and theoretically. Subsequently, optimal conditions for As (III) removal were found; 6 (ppm) As (III) concentration at 37 °C, pH 7, six hours of contact time and 0.50 mg/ml of biomass dosage. The maximal As (III) loading capacity was determined as 10.94 mg/g. The equilibrium adsorption was simulated via the Langmuir isotherm model, which provided a better fitting than the Freundlich model. In addition, FESEM-EDX showed a significant change in the morphological characteristic of the biomass following As (III) adsorption. 128 batch experimental data were taken into account to create an artificial neural network (ANN) model that mimicked the human brain function. 5-7-1 neurons were in the input, hidden and output layers respectively. The batch data was reserved for training (75%), testing (10%) and validation process (15%). The relationship between the predicted output vector and experimental data offered a high degree of correlation (R2 = 0.9959) and mean squared error (MSE; 0.3462). The predicted output of the proposed model showed a good agreement with the batch work with reasonable accuracy.

Abstract
Globally, contamination of groundwater with toxic arsenic (As) is an environmental and public health issue given to its carcinogenic properties, thereby threatening millions of people relying on drinking As-contaminated well water. Here, we explored the efficiency of various biosorbents (egg shell, java plum seed, water chestnut shell, corn cob, tea waste and pomegranate peel) for arsenate (As(V)) and arsenite (As(III)) removal from As-contaminated water. Significantly, egg shell and java plum seed displayed the greatest As(III) elimination (78-87%) at 7 pH followed by water chestnut shell (75%), corn cob (67%), tea waste (74%) and pomegranate peel (65%). In contrast, 71% and 67% of As(V) was removed at pH 4.1 and 5.3 by egg shell and java plum seed, respectively. The maximum As(V) and As(III) sorption by all the biosorbents was obtained, notably for egg shell and java plum seed, after 2 h contact time. Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order models best fitted the sorption data for both forms of As. The -OH, -COOH, -NH2 and sulfur-bearing surface functional groups were possibly involved for As(III) and As(V) removal by biosorbents. The scanning electron microscopy combined with the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) analysis showed that the heterogeneous surface of biosorbents, possessing rough and irregular areas, could have led to As sorption. Both As(V) and As(III) were successfully desorbed (up to 97%) from the biosorbents in four sorption/desorption (regeneration) cycles. This pilot-scale study highlights that egg shell and java plum seed have the greatest ability to remove both As species from As-contaminated drinking water. Importantly, these findings provide insights to develop an inexpensive, effective and sustainable filtration technology for the treatment of As in drinking water, particularly in developing countries like Pakistan.

Abstract
Contamination of groundwater with toxic arsenic (As) has become an emerging health and environmental problem around the world, which has seen significant attention amongst the scientists for development of new sorbents to remediate As-contaminated water. Here, we explored the arsenate (As(V)) and arsenite (As(III)) sorption to natural water melon rind (WMR), xanthated WMR and citric acid-modified WMR in aqueous solutions, and determined potential of the most potent sorbent for As removal in groundwater. Xanthated WMR (X-WMR) showed relatively higher As(V) and As(III) removal than the citric acid modified WMR (CA-WMR) and natural WMR. The maximum As(III) (99%) and As(V) (98%) removal was obtained at pH 8.2 and 4.6, respectively, by X-WMR at 4 mg L-1 initial As(V) and As(III) concentrations and sorbent dose of 1 g L-1. Langmuir isotherm model best fitted (R2 of up to 0.96) the data both for As(III) and As(V) sorption to X-WMR. Sorption kinetics of As(V) and As(III) was well described (R2 of up to 0.99) by the pseudo second-order model on surface of the X-WMR. Thermodynamic investigations revealed that As(V) and As(III) sorption was endothermic and spontaneous. The FTIR spectroscopy depicted the presence of different surface function groups (OH, COOH, S-bearing (C=S, S=O and S-S)) which were involved in As(V) and As(III) sequestration on the sorbents examined here. Significantly, X-WMR showed (up to 49%) greater As(III) and As(V) sorption than that of natural WMR. Our results demonstrated that X-WMR efficiently removed 94%-100% (n = 16) of As from As-contaminated drinking well water which possessed detectable concentrations of some anions (e.g., SO4, CO3, HCO3). This study highlights that the X-WMR has potential to remove As, notably As(III), from solutions and drinking water, and might be utilized as a reactive medium for the treatment of As-contaminated water.

Abstract
Corn and rice husks, agro-wastes available in large quantities in Tanzania, were used to remove Pb2+ from aqueous solution. Husks were used in raw form, pyrolyzed form, and chemically modified form. Material characterization was carried out using the BET method, FTIR spectroscopy, SEM, pHPZC, and cation exchange capacity analysis. Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R), and Temkin isotherms were used to elucidate Pb2+ sorption mechanisms. The surface area and cation exchange capacity (CEC) of untreated and chemically treated biochars were significantly higher than that of raw husks. Sorption data for Pb2+ for all biosorbents fit the Freundlich and D-R models well with high R2 values. Most of the synthesized biosorbents in this study indicated >90% for Pb2+ removal, with the ZnCl2-treated corn husk biochar sorption capacities ranking highest in all modeling results. Surface morphological features (e.g., micropores and fissures) and acidic and unsaturated functional groups may have significantly contributed to the observed Pb2+ removal efficiencies.

Abstract
Finding appropriate adsorbent may improve the quality of drinking water in those regions where arsenic (As) and fluoride (F-) are present in geological formations. In this study, we evaluated the efficiency of potato peel and rice husk ash (PPRH-ash)-derived adsorbent for the removal of As and F from contaminated water. Evaluation was done in batch adsorption experiments, and the effect of pH, initial adsorbate concentration, contact time, and adsorbent dose were studied. Characteristics of adsorbents were analyzed using scanning electron micropcope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models fitted well for F- and As sorption process. The maximum adsorption capacity of adsorbent for As and F- was 2.17 μg g-1 and 2.91 mg g-1, respectively. The As and Fi removal was observed between pH 7 and 9. The sorption process was well explained with pseudo-second order kinetic model. Arsenic adsorption was not decreased in the presence of carbonate and sulfate. Results from this study demonstrated potential utility of this agricultural biowaste, which could be developed into a viable filtration technology for As and F- removal in As- and F-contaminated water streams.

Abstract
In this work, the synthesis of iron (hydr) oxide modified zeolite was achieved through precipitation of iron on the zeolite. The structure and surface morphology of iron (hydr) oxide modified zeolite (IHOMZ) was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), coupled with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra. The efficiency of IHOMZ was then investigated through batch technique for the extraction of As(V) from mine waste water. The optimum parameters for maximum As(V) adsorption were: an initial As(V) concentration (10 mg L-1), adsorbent dosage (3.0 g), contact time (90 min) and temperature (53 °C). The initial pH of the solution had no compelling effect on As(V) adsorption by IHOMZ. However, adsorption capacity was significantly affected by the solution temperature with 53 °C registering the maximum removal efficiency. The thermodynamic parameters: Entropy (ΔS° = 0.00815 kJ (K mol)-1), variation of the Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) and enthalpy (ΔH° = 9.392 kJ mol-1) of As(V) adsorption onto IHOMZ system signified a non-spontaneous and endothermic process. It was noted that Freundlich isotherm model exhibited a better fit to the equilibrium experimental data, implying that the adsorption process occurred on a heterogeneous surface. The kinetic data from As(V) adsorption experiments was depicted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 > 0.999), suggesting a chemisorption adsorption process. The experimental batch equilibrium results indicated that IHOMZ could be used as an effective sorbent for As(V) ion extraction from acid mine drainage.

In the present study, an indigenous biosorbent (leaves of Tecomella undulata) was used for the simultaneous removal of inorganic arsenic species (As(III) and As(V)) from the stored rainwater in Tharparkar, Pakistan. The Plackett-Burman experimental design was used as a multivariate strategy for the evaluation of the effects of six factors/variables on the biosorption of inorganic arsenic species, simultaneously. Central composite design (CCD) was used to found the optimum values of significant factors for the removal of As(III) and As(V). Initial concentrations of both inorganic As species, pH, biosorbent dose, and contact time were selected as independent factors in CCD, while the adsorption capacity (q e) was considered as a response function. The separation of inorganic As species in water samples before and after biosorption was carried out by cloud point and solid-phase extraction methods. Theoretical values of pH, concentration of analytes, biosorbent dose, and contact time were calculated by quadratic equation for 100 % biosorption of both inorganic As species in aqueous media. Experimental data were modeled by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Thermodynamic and kinetic study indicated that the biosorption of As(III) and As(V) was followed by pseudo second order. It was concluded that the indigenous biosorbent material efficiently and simultaneously removed both As species in the range of 70.8 to 98.5 % of total contents in studied ground water samples.

Abstract
Simultaneous removal of fluoride (F(-)), inorganic arsenic species, As(III) and As(V), from aqueous samples has been performed using an economic indigenous biosorbent (Stem of Tecomella undulata). The inorganic As species in water samples before and after biosorption were determined by cloud point and solid phase extraction methods, while F(-) was determined by ion chromatography. Batch experiments were carried out to evaluate the equilibrium adsorption isotherm studies for As(III), As(V) and F(-) in aqueous solutions. Several parameters of biosorption were optimized such as pH, biomass dosage, analytes concentration, time and temperature. The surface of biosorbent was characterized by SEM and FTIR. The FTIR study indicated the presence of carbonyl and amine functional groups which may have important role in the sorption/removal of these ions. Thermodynamic and kinetic study indicated that the biosorption of As(III), As(V) and F(-) were spontaneous, exothermic and followed by pseudo-second-order. Meanwhile, the interference study revealed that there was no significant effect of co-existing ions for the removal of inorganic As species and F(-) from aqueous samples (p > 0.05). It was observed that the indigenous biosorbent material simultaneously adsorbed As(III) (108 μg g(-1)), As(V) (159 μg g(-1)) and F(-) (6.16 mg g(-1)) from water at optimized conditions. The proposed biosorbent was effectively regenerated and efficiently used for several experiments, to remove the As(III), As(V) and F(-) from real water sample collected from endemic area of Pakistan.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution in water emerges as a severe socio-environmental problem originating primarily from the discharge of industrial wastewater. In view of the toxic, non-biodegradable, and persistent nature of most of the heavy metal ions, remediation of such components becomes an absolute necessity. Biosorption is an emerging tool for bioremediation that has gained momentum for employing low-cost biological materials with effective metal binding capacities. Even though biological materials possess excellent metal adsorption abilities, they show poor mechanical strength and low rigidity. Other disadvantages include solid-liquid separation problems, possible biomass swelling, lower efficiency for regeneration or reuse, and frequent development of high pressure drop in the column mode that limits its applications under real conditions. To improve the biosorption efficiency, biomasses need to be modified with a simple technique for selective/multi-metal adsorption. This review is intended to cover discussion on biomass modification for enhanced biosorption efficiency, mechanism studies using various instrumental/analytical techniques, and future direction for research and development including the fate of spent biosorbent. In most of the previously published researches, difficulty of the process in scaling up has not been addressed. The current article outlines the application potential of biosorbents in the development of hybrid technology integrated with membrane processes for water and wastewater treatment in industrial scale.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate tetracycline antibiotic (TA) removal from contaminated water by Moringa oleifera seed preparations. The composition of synthetic water approximate river natural contaminated water and TA simulated its presence as an emerging pollutant. Interactions between TA and protein preparations (extract; fraction and lectin) were also evaluated. TA was determined by solid-phase extraction followed by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Moringa extract and flour removed TA from water. The extract removed TA in all concentrations, and better removal (40%) was obtained with 40 mg L(-1); seed flour (particles < 5 mm), 1.25 and 2.50 g L(-1) removed 28% and 29% of tetracycline, respectively; particles > 5 mm (0.50 g L(-1)) removed 55% of antibiotic. Interactions between TA and seed preparations were assayed by haemagglutinating activity (HA). Specific HA (SHA) of extract (pH 7) was abolished with tetracycline (5 mg L(-1)); fraction (75%) and lectin HA (97%) were inhibited with TA. Extract SHA decreased by 75% at pH 8. Zeta potential (ZP) of extract 700 mg L(-1) and tetracycline 50 mg L(-1) , pH range 5-8, showed different results. Extract ZP was more negative (-10.73 to -16.00 mV) than tetracycline ZP (-0.27 to -20.15 mV); ZP difference was greater in pH 8. The focus of this study was achieved since Moringa preparations removed TA from water and compounds interacting with tetracycline involved at least lectin-binding sites. This is a natural process, which do not promote environmental damage.

Abstract
Arsenic and antimony are metalloids, naturally present in the environment but also introduced by human activities. Both elements are toxic and carcinogenic, and their removal from water is of unquestionable importance. The present article begins with an overview of As and Sb chemistry, distribution and toxicity, which are relevant aspects to understand and develop remediation techniques. A brief review of the recent results in analytical methods for speciation and quantification was also provided. The most common As and Sb removal techniques (coagulation/flocculation, oxidation, membrane processes, electrochemical methods and phyto and bioremediation) are presented with discussion of their advantages, drawbacks and the main recent achievements. Literature review on adsorption and biosorption were focused in detail. Considering especially the case of developing countries or rural communities, but also the finite energy resources that over the world are still dependent, recent research have focused especially readily available low-cost adsorbents, as minerals, wastes and biosorbents. Many of these alternative sorbents have been presenting promising results and can be even superior when compared to the commercial ones. Sorption capacities were accurately compiled for As(III,V) and Sb(III,V) species in order to provide to the reader an easy but detailed comparison. Some aspects related to experimental conditions, comparison criteria, lack of research studies, economic aspects and adsorption mechanisms were critically discussed.

Abstract
The exposure to low or high concentrations of arsenic (As), either due to the direct consumption of As contaminated drinking water, or indirectly through daily intake of As contaminated food may be fatal to the human health. Arsenic contamination in drinking water threatens more than 150 millions peoples all over the world. Around 110 millions of those peoples live in 10 countries in South and South-East Asia: Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Taiwan and Vietnam. Therefore, treatment of As contaminated water and soil could be the only effective option to minimize the health hazard. Therefore, keeping in view the above facts, an attempt has been made in this paper to review As contamination, its effect on human health and various conventional and advance technologies which are being used for the removal of As from soil and water.

Abstract
Agricultural products/by-products are natural sorbent materials that possess capacity for removing contaminants including heavy metals from wastewaters and hence can be exploited as replacement of costly methods for wastewater treatment. The sorption of heavy metals onto these biomaterials is attributed to constituent's proteins, carbohydrates, and phenolic compounds that contain functional groups such as carboxylate, hydroxyl, and amine. Natural efficiency of these materials for removing heavy metals can be enhanced by treating them with chemicals. The present review emphasizes their use in developing eco-friendly technology for a large-scale treatment of wastewater.

Abstract
In the present work, the evaluation capacities of two optimization methodologies such as RSM and ANN were employed and compared for predication of Cr(VI) uptake rate using defatted pongamia oil cake (DPOC) in both batch and column mode. The influence of operating parameters was investigated through a central composite design (CCD) of RSM using Design Expert 8.0.7.1 software. The same data was fed as input in ANN to obtain a trained the multilayer feed-forward networks back-propagation algorithm using MATLAB. The performance of the developed ANN models were compared with RSM mathematical models for Cr(VI) uptake rate in terms of the coefficient of determination (R(2)), root mean square error (RMSE) and absolute average deviation (AAD). The estimated values confirm that ANN predominates RSM representing the superiority of a trained ANN models over RSM models in order to capture the non-linear behavior of the given system.

Abstract
Toxicity and biosorption responses to arsenite (As[III]) were examined in a 96-h exposure study using Scenedesmus quadricauda, one of the most popular green algae distributed in freshwaters in China. Results indicated that the pH-dependent distribution of two arsenite species (H2AsO3(-) and H3AsO3) played an important role in biosorption and toxicity. The undissociated H3AsO3 was more toxic than its monoanionic H2AsO3(-) through comparison of algal cell numbers, chlorophyll-a contents, and algal ultrastructural changes observed with transmission electron microscopy. An effective biosorption of 89.0mgg(-1) at 100mgL(-1) As[III] was found in the treatments with an initial pH of 9.3 and 25.2μgg(-1) at 0.03mgL(-1) As[III] at an initial pH of 8.2 as a result of the predominant species of H2AsO3(-) under the ambient pH and Eh conditions. Our results imply that S. quadricauda may provide a new means for the removal of toxic arsenite species present in contaminated surface water.

Abstract
In this work, removal of arsenic (III) from aqueous solution by living cells (Bacillus cereus), biosorption mechanism, and characterization studies have been reported. B. cereus cell surface was characterized using SEM-EDX and FTIR. Dependence of biosorption on pH of the solution, biosorbent dose, initial arsenic (III) concentration, contact time, and temperature had been studied to achieve optimum condition. The maximum biosorption capacity of living cells of B. cereus for arsenic (III) was found to be 32.42 mg/g at pH 7.5, at optimum conditions of contact time of 30 min, biomass dosage of 6 g/L, and temperature of 30 ± 2 °C. Biosorption data of arsenic (III) are fitted to linearly transformed Langmuir isotherm with R (2) (correlation coefficient) >0.99. The pseudo-second-order model description of the kinetics of arsenic (III) is successfully applied to predict the rate constant of biosorption. Thermodynamic parameters reveal the endothermic, spontaneous, and feasible nature of sorption process of arsenic (III) onto B. cereus biomass. The arsenic (III) ions are desorbed from B. cereus using both 1 M HCl and 1 M HNO(3).

Abstract
This work aimed to characterize the coagulant properties of protein preparations from Moringa oleifera seeds in the removal of humic acids from water. Three distinct preparations were assayed, namely extract (seeds homogenized with 0.15 M NaCl), fraction (extract precipitated with 60% w/v ammonium sulphate) and cMoL (protein purified with guar gel column chromatography). The extract showed the highest coagulant activity in a protein concentration between 1 mg/L and 180 mg/L at pH 7.0. The zeta potential of the extract (-10 mV to -15 mV) was less negative than that of the humic acid (-41 mV to -42 mV) in a pH range between 5.0 and 8.0; thus, the mechanism that might be involved in this coagulation activity is adsorption and neutralization of charges. Reduction of total organic carbon (TOC) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was observed in water samples containing 9 mg/L carbon as humic acid when treated with 1 mg/L of the extract. A decrease in colour and in the aromatic content of the treated water was also observed. These results suggested that the extract from M. oleifera seeds in a low concentration (1 mg/L) can be an interesting natural alternative for removing humic acid from water in developing countries. The extract dose determined in the present study does not impart odour or colour to the treated water.
