Abstract
In this study, the performance of the positioning of polyoxometalate ionic liquid ([Keggin][emim]3 IL) between graphene oxide (GO) plates with different concentrations (nIL-GO (n = 1-4)) were examined in the desalination process at different external pressures using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The use of Keggin anions with charged GO layers was also investigated in the desalination process. The potential of the mean force, average number of hydrogen bonds, self-diffusion coefficient, and angle distribution function were calculated and discussed. The results showed that although the presence of polyoxometalate ILs between the GO plates decreases water flux, they efficiently increase salt rejection. The positioning of one IL increases salt rejection to two times at lower pressure and increases it up to four times at higher pressure. Moreover, the positioning of four ILs results in almost complete salt rejection at all pressures. The use of only Keggin anions between the charged GO plates (n[Keggin]-GO+3n) presents more water flux and a smaller salt rejection rate than the nIL-GO systems. However, the n[Keggin]-GO+3n systems show a nearly complete salt rejection at high concentrations of Keggin anions. These systems also have a smaller risk of the contamination of the desalinated water by the probable escape of cations from the nanostructure to the desalinated water at very high pressures.

Goren AY, Kobya M, Khataee A. How does arsenic speciation (arsenite and arsenate) in groundwater affect the performance of an aerated electrocoagulation reactor and human health risk? THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 808:152135. [PMID: 34864021 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.152135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2021] [Revised: 11/21/2021] [Accepted: 11/28/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Arsenic (As) occurrence in water resources has become one of the most critical environmental problems worldwide. The detrimental health impacts on humans have been reported due to the consumption of As-contaminated groundwater resources. Consumption of As-containing water over the long term can cause arsenicosis and chronic effects on human health due to its toxicity. Several treatment processes are available for As removals such as coagulation, ion exchange, adsorption, and membrane technologies but they have various major drawbacks. In the present work, therefore, an aerated electrocoagulation (EC) system with aluminum anodes was operated for simultaneous arsenate (As(V)) and arsenite (As(III)) removal to overcome the disadvantages of other processes such as, sludge formation, difficulties in operation, high operating costs, high energy consumption, and the requirement of pre-treatment process and to enhance the conventional EC process. The combined effects of the applied current (0.075-0.3 A), aeration rate (0-6 L/min), pH (6.5-8.5), and As speciation (As(V)-As(III)) were studied on As removal efficiency. The findings revealed that As removal mostly depended on the airflow rate and the applied current in the EC system. The highest As removal efficiency (99.1%) was obtained at an airflow rate of 6 L/min, a pH of 6.5, an initial As (V) concentration of 200 μg/L, and a current of 0.3 A, with an energy consumption of 2.85 kWh/m3 and an operating cost of 0.66 $/m3. The human health risk assessment of treated water was also examined to understand the performance of the EC system. At most of the experimental runs, the chronic toxic risk (CTR) and carcinogenic risk (CR) of As were within the permissible limits except for an airflow rate of 0-2 L/min, an initial pH of 8.5, and a current of 0.075-0.15 A for high initial As (III) concentrations. Overall, the As removal performance and groundwater risk assessment show that the EC process is a promising option for industrial applications.

Abstract
The removal of heavy metals from water has become a global environmental problem. Various materials have been applied as adsorbent to remove metals from water. In this field, nanomaterials have been gaining increasing interest due to their exceptional properties. In this work, we discuss the synthesis of a core-shell structure nanocomposite by the modification of magnetic chitosan (CS) (Fe3O4/CS) with polyethylenimine (PEI) to produce Fe3O4/CS/PEI composite for the adsorption of arsenic ions (As(V) and As(III)) from aqueous solution. The synthesized materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results indicated the successful combination of three components of the nanocomposite. The adsorption conditions were optimized by studying the effect of different parameters included pH, contact time, initial concentration, and adsorbent dosage. The optimum adsorption pH was found to be 6.7 while the optimum adsorbent dosage was found to be 2.0 and 1.5 g/L for As(III) and As(V), respectively. The removal efficiency for the uptake of As(III) and As(V) ions over Fe3O4/CS/PEI nanocomposite at optimum conditions was found to be 99.5 and 99.7%, respectively. The experimental results were fitted using Freundlich’s and Langmuir’s isotherms. The data were more fitted to Langmuir isotherm providing a suggestion of monolayer adsorption with maximum adsorption capacity equal to 77.61 and 86.50 mg/g for the removal of As(III) and As(V), respectively. Moreover, linear regression coefficient (R2) indicated that the adsorption of arsenic ions over the synthesized magnetic nanocomposite obeyed pseudo 2nd order suggesting the chemisorption process. The reusability of the nanosorbent for arsenic uptake using sodium hydroxide as eluent was also assessed up to five cycles. Interestingly, Fe3O4/CS/PEI nanocomposite can be considered as a promising adsorbent for As ions’ removal from water and should be tested for the removal of other pollutants.

Abstract
We report the solvothermal synthesis of MoS2based quantum dots (QDs) and the performance evaluation of bare QDs for the detection of aqueous As (III) oxidative state at room temperature and neutral pH over a vast range (0.1-1000 ppb). Concentration-dependent photoluminescence (PL) of the QDs enhances up to 50 ppb and then suppresses till 1000 ppb. It shows two distinctive slopes for enhancement and suppression. The enhancement is possibly due to the passivation of trap states or defects. The formation of tiny glassy As2S3particles on the QD surface may be the possible reason for suppression. The pattern of optical absorption of QDs follows the similar patterns of PL. Still, it shows an enhanced absorbance in the near UV range below ≤300 nm, which increases with As (III) concentration up to 50 ppb and then decreases following the PL pattern. The MoS2QDs were characterized by using transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, UV-Vis, and PL spectroscopy. The enhancement and suppression results were excellently fitted with the modified Stern-Volmer equation. The detection of arsenic is possible using these linear fit equations as calibration curves.

The Status of Arsenic Pollution in the Greek and Cyprus Environment: An Overview. WATER 2021. [DOI: 10.3390/w13020224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
This study presents an overview about the arsenic (As) contamination and its sources in two European countries. Arsenic is a highly toxic element in its inorganic form and it is carcinogenic to human seven in low concentrations. The occurrence of As in surface water, stream and marine waters, groundwater, bottled water, sediment, soil, mines, and seafood, its environmental origin, and its impacts on human health are discussed. The classes of Geoaccumulation Index for As in Greece ranges from practically uncontaminated to extremely contaminated, and in Cyprus varies between practically uncontaminated and heavily contaminated. In many cases, the As contamination reaches very high concentrations and the impacts may be crucial for the human health and ecosystems. Physicochemical properties, regional climate and geological setting are controlling the occurrence and transport of As. In Greece and Cyprus, the geology, lithology, and ore-deposits are the most important factors for the variation of As contents in water, soil, and sediment. The dominant As species are also determined by the location and the redox conditions. The findings of this paper may be useful for scientists and stakeholders monitoring the studied areas and applying measures for protection of the human and terrestrial ecological receptors (plants, avian, mammals).

Arsenic in a groundwater environment in Bangladesh: Occurrence and mobilization. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2020; 262:110318.

Abstract
Groundwater with an excessive level of Arsenic (As) is a threat to human health. In Bangladesh, out of 64 districts, the groundwater of 50 and 59 districts contains As exceeding the Bangladesh (50 μg/L) and WHO (10 μg/L) standards for potable water. This review focuses on the occurrence, origin, plausible sources, and mobilization mechanisms of As in the groundwater of Bangladesh to better understand its environmental as well as public health consequences. High As concentrations mainly was mainly occur from the natural origin of the Himalayan orogenic tract. Consequently, sedimentary processes transport the As-loaded sediments from the orogenic tract to the marginal foreland of Bangladesh, and under the favorable biogeochemical circumstances, As is discharged from the sediment to the groundwater. Rock weathering, regular floods, volcanic movement, deposition of hydrochemical ore, and leaching of geological formations in the Himalayan range cause As occurrence in the groundwater of Bangladesh. Redox and desorption processes along with microbe-related reduction are the key geochemical processes for As enrichment. Under reducing conditions, both reductive dissolution of Fe-oxides and desorption of As are the root causes of As mobilization. A medium alkaline and reductive environment, resulting from biochemical reactions, is the major factor mobilizing As in groundwater. An elevated pH value along with decoupling of As and HCO3- plays a vital role in mobilizing As. The As mobilization process is related to the reductive solution of metal oxides as well as hydroxides that exists in sporadic sediments in Bangladesh. Other mechanisms, such as pyrite oxidation, redox cycling, and competitive ion exchange processes, are also postulated as probable mechanisms of As mobilization. The reductive dissolution of MnOOH adds dissolved As and redox-sensitive components such as SO42- and oxidized pyrite, which act as the major mechanisms to mobilize As. The reductive suspension of Mn(IV)-oxyhydroxides has also accelerated the As mobilization process in the groundwater of Bangladesh. Infiltration from the irrigation return flow and surface-wash water are also potential factors to remobilize As. Over-exploitation of groundwater and the competitive ion exchange process are also responsible for releasing As into the aquifers of Bangladesh.

Abstract
Tooeleite (Fe6(AsO3)4SO4(OH)4·4H2O) is widely precipitated for direct As(III) removal from sulfate-rich industrial effluents. However, whether or not Fe(III)-As(III)-Cl(-I) precipitate is produced in chloridizing leaching media for As immobilization is almost unknown. This work founded the existence of ferric arsenite (hydroxy)chloride as a new mineral for As(III) removal. Its chemical composition and solid characterization were subsequently studied by using scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetric (TG) curve. The results showed the formation of a yellow precipitate after 3-days reaction of Fe(III)/As(III) with molar ratio ≈ 1.7 in chloride solution at pH 2.3 neutralized with NaOH. Compared with tooeleite, chemical analysis and solid characterization indicated that Cl(-I) replaces SO4(-II) producing ferric arsenite hydroxychloride with formula Fe5(AsO3)3Cl2(OH)4·5H2O. This new plate shaped solid showed better crytallinity than tooeleite, although it has similar morphology and characteristic bands to tooeleite. The FT-IR bands at 628, 964 cm-1 and the Raman bands at 448, 610, 961 cm-1 were assigned to Fe-O or As(III)-O-Fe or As(III)-O bending/stretching vibration, indicating that both arsenite and chloride substituted for the position of sulfate for ferric arsenite hydroxychloride produced due to the lack of the SO42- vibrations. Cl-(I) also contributed to increase As removal efficiency in aqueous sulfate media under acidic pH conditions via the probable formation of sulfate-chloride ferric arsenite.

Abstract
A synergistic combination of chloride and copper powder was proposed as a new method to reductively remove arsenic from highly-acidic wastewater with high arsenic content (HAWA). As(III) was reduced to As(0) by copper powder in the presence of chloride and were effectively removed from HAWA. The procedure to remove arsenic was optimized as follows: initial H+ concentration of 5 mol L-1, Cu-to-As molar ratio of 8, Cl-to-As molar ratio of 10, a reaction temperature of 60 °C, copper powder particle size of 68-24 μm, and a stirring speed of 300 r min-1. Under these optimal conditions, the removal rate of arsenic was close to 100%. Kinetics results suggested that the arsenic removal process was controlled by both diffusion and chemical reactions with an apparent activation energy of 29.78 kJ mol-1. The XRD results showed that the removed arsenic in the residue existed primarily in the form of AsCu3 alloy.
