Abstract
Wastewater generated from e-waste leaching is rich in precious metals including gold, silver and platinum. Conventional precipitation and solvent extraction are chemically intensive separations with concerning environmental externalities. Sorbents, in particular carbon nanotubes, have low chemical consumption, and have shown promise for gold adsorption due to their high specific surface area and chemical functionalization potential. However, regenerating sorbents used to adsorb Au is hazardous requiring strong acids. Herein, we delineate the effect of various functional groups on the sidewalls of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on gold adsorption, and we introduced an acid-free electrochemical technique for Au elution from MWCNTs. Pristine MWCNTs (P-MWCNTs), carboxylic functionalised MWCNTs (COOH-MWCNTs) and amide functionalised MWCNTs (NH2-MWCNTs) were compared for their affinity for Au adsorption from acidic AuCl4-solutions mimicking acidic e-waste leachate. Au adsorption affinity onto MWCNTs followed the order of P-MWCNT > NH2-MWCNT > COOH-MWCNTs. Au elution from Au-saturated MWCNTs was subsequently achieved up to 65%, using acid-free electrochemical desorption in neutral aqueous brine. The Au electro-desorption was shown to have a direct relationship with both the applied current and the mass of the Au adsorbed on the MWCNTs. This study demonstrates enhanced adsorption-based preconcentration of gold and acid-free regeneration of sorbents.

Abstract
Water pollution by oil is a serious environmental problem. Developing new generation of benign adsorbents satisfying several criteria required for real practical application is of great need. This work introduces an effort in this direction, by utilizing a facile synthesis of wood sawdust coated magnetite nanoparticles functionalized stearic acid (WSD@Fe3O4NPs/SA) as a novel nano composite along with its precursor WSD@Fe3O4NPs. SA was covalently bonded to the precursor by amide bond formation via the interaction with the silylating agent 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (3-APTS). This mode of binding is more stronger than the conventional ester bond. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X- ray powder diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Transmittance electron microscope (TEM) were employed for characterization and follow up the synthesis process. Application of the newly synthesized magnetic nano composite adsorbent under optimized parameters of contact time (min) and composite dosage (g) reveal high removal capacity values (g/g) evaluated to be 28.32 g/g, 5 min and 0.1 g for used motor oil removal and 41.22 g/g, 10 min and 0.1 g for crude oil. The high removal efficiency exhibited by WSD@Fe3O4NPs/SA was mainly argued to the long hydrocarbon chain of SA moiety and additional ـــ (CH2)3 ـــ groups incorporated 3-ATPS. Moreover, Analysis of the oil adsorption experimental equilibrium data were well fitted with Freundlish model with correlation coefficients r2 = 0.9788 and 0.9896 for used motor oil and crude oil, respectively. The kinetic data were correlated using two kinetic models and the results were in harmony with pseudo-second order.

Abstract
To further increase the quantity and density of functional groups on adsorbent, terminal triethylenetetramine hyperbranched dendrimer-like polymer modified silica-gel (SG-TETA and SG-TETA2) was synthesized. The hyperbranched dendrimer-like polymer was successfully introduced onto silica gel and new cavities were formed, which was demonstrated by FTIR, SEM, and BET. The highest adsorption capacities of SG-TETA and SG-TETA2 obtained from Langmuir model toward Au(III) were 2.11, and 2.27 mmol g−1, respectively, indicating that SG-TETA2 possessing more functional groups had a better adsorption ability. Moreover, the adsorbents combined with Au(III) ion through chelation and electrostatic attraction mechanism, after which reduction reactions for Au(III) ion loaded on adsorbents proceeded. SG-TETA2 had better adsorption selectivity than SG-TETA in removing Au(III) in Au-existed ion solution systems. SG-TETA2 had higher overall adsorption capacities compared to silica-gel-based hyperbranched polymers functionalized by diethylenetriamine. Therefore, the effective recovery makes SG-TETA2 a practical adsorbent in removing Au(III) ion from e-wastes and industrial effluents with much prospect.
