Novel development of zinc oxide-coated carbon nanoparticles from pineapple leaves using sol gel method for optimal adsorption of Cu 2+ and reuse in latent fingerprint application. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:38801-38820. [PMID: 36811786 PMCID: PMC11186909 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-25474-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
This study underlines a latest approach of preparing nitrogen carbon nanoparticles fused on zinc oxide nanoparticle nanocomposite (N-CNPs/ZnONP nanocomposite) for the uptake of copper ions (Cu2+) from wastewater using a sol gel method. The metal loaded adsorbent was then applied in the latent fingerprint application. N-CNPs/ZnONP nanocomposite proved to be a good sorbent for the optimal adsorption of Cu2+ at pH 8 and 1.0 g/L dosage. Langmuir isotherm best fitted the process with the maximum adsorption capacity of 285.71 mg/g that was superior to most values reported in other studies for the removal of Cu2+. At 25 °C, the adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic. Furthermore, Cu2+-N-CNPs/ZnONP nanocomposite revealed to be sensitive and selective for latent fingerprint (LFP) identification on a variety of porous surfaces. As a result, it is an excellent identifying chemical for latent fingerprint recognition in forensic science.

Abstract
Aquatic pollution, which includes organic debris and heavy metals, is a severe issue for living things. Copper pollution is hazardous to people, and there is a need to develop effective methods for eliminating it from the environment. To address this issue, a novel adsorbent composed of frankincense-modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Fr-MMWCNTs) and Fe3O4 [Fr-MWCNT-Fe3O4] was created and subjected to characterization. Batch adsorption tests showed that Fr-MWCNT-Fe3O4 had a maximum adsorption capacity of 250 mg/g at 308 K and could efficiently remove Cu2+ ions over a pH range of 6 to 8. The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models, and its thermodynamics were identified as endothermic. Functional groups on the surface of modified MWCNTs improved their adsorption capacity, and a rise in temperature increased the adsorption efficiency. These results highlight the Fr-MWCNT-Fe3O4 composites' potential as an efficient adsorbent for removing Cu2+ ions from untreated natural water sources.

Abstract
The review aims to summarize recent reports of stimuli-responsive nanomaterials based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and discuss their applications in biomedicine. In the past few decades, MIPs have been proven to show widespread applications as new molecular recognition materials. The development of stimuli-responsive nanomaterials has successfully endowed MIPs with not only affinity properties comparable to those of natural antibodies but also the ability to respond to external stimuli (stimuli-responsive MIPs). In this review, we will discuss the synthesis of MIPs, the classification of stimuli-responsive MIP nanomaterials (MIP-NMs), their dynamic mechanisms, and their applications in biomedicine, including bioanalysis and diagnosis, biological imaging, drug delivery, disease intervention, and others. This review mainly focuses on studies of smart MIP-NMs with biomedical perspectives after 2015. We believe that this review will be helpful for the further exploration of stimuli-responsive MIP-NMs and contribute to expanding their practical applications especially in biomedicine in the near future.

Abstract
Developing an ideal and cheap adsorbent for adsorbing heavy metals from aqueous solution has been urgently need. In this study, a novel, effective and low-cost method was developed to prepare the biochar from lettuce waste with H3PO4 as an acidic activation agent at a low-temperature (circa 200 °C) hydrothermal carbonization process. A batch adsorption experiment demonstrated that the biochar reaches the adsorption equilibrium within 30 min, and the optimal adsorption capacity of Cd(II) is 195.8 mg∙g-1 at solution pH 6.0, which is significantly improved from circa 20.5 mg∙g-1 of the original biochar without activator. The fitting results of the prepared biochar adsorption data conform to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (PSO) and the Sips isotherm model, and the Cd(II) adsorption is a spontaneous and exothermic process. The hypothetical adsorption mechanism is mainly composed of ion exchange, electrostatic attraction, and surface complexation. This work offers a novel and low-temperature strategy to produce cheap and promising carbon-based adsorbents from organic vegetation wastes for removing heavy metals in aquatic environment efficiently.

Abstract
Hybrid supercapacitors (SCs) made of carbon-metal oxide composites are devices which combine the advantages of electric double layer capacitors and pseudocapacitors viz high energy density, high power density and high cyclability. This is best achieved when the pseudocapacitive components are uniform in size and distribution on the conducting carbon support. Electrodes mats, fabricated from carbonized electrospun fibers generated from solutions of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as the carbon source, cobalt (III) acetylacetonate as a metal oxide precursor, and polymethacrylic acid (PMAA) as a metal oxide precursor carrier were utilized in coin cell SCs. Fibers without the PMMA carrier were prepared for comparison. XRD and TGA showed conversion of the cobalt precursor to a mixture of cobalt and cobalt oxide (Co3O4). When the PMAA carrier was used, specific capacitance increased from 68 F g-1in PAN-Co3O4to 125 F g-1in PAN-PMAA-Co3O4. The addition of PMAA to the system results in better uniformity, accessibility and dispersion of metal and metal oxide particles. Due to the relatively low surface area of carbonized samples, Co3O4nanoparticles are the primary contributors to charge storage. The fabricated fibers show an energy density of 8.9 at 750 W kg-1, which is twice that of the fibers made without PMAA.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to find an alternative application for chrysotile asbestos, given that there is a complete structure of extraction and production of this class of serpentine minerals, but its use is banned for many applications. The idea was to obtain a compound that could immobilize phosphate by triggering a reaction between the magnesium oxide and hydroxide contained in the mineral, without causing phosphate leaching. To this end, chrysotile (Mg3SiO5(OH)4) was treated with phosphoric acid (H3PO4) in a molar ratio of 1:3 in an aqueous medium at 85 °C until the solvent evaporated, resulting in two different solid compounds, which were prepared in a similar manner. The first compound (cri/H3PO4 1:3)1, was obtained by rinsing and then heat-treating it at 150 °C for 6 h, while the second one, (cri/H3PO4 1:3)2, was rinsed after the heat treatment. Compound (cri/H3PO4 1:3)1 underwent partial leaching, while compound (cri/H3PO4 1:3)2 showed a mass increase of 48%, with the formation of crystalline magnesium pyrophosphate mixed with amorphous SiO2. The latter compound adsorbed N–NH3 at pH 10, following the pseudo-first-order model (activation energy = 8329 ± 1696 J mol−1). Equilibrium experiments, which were performed following Hill's sigmoidal type S2 isotherm model, indicated that the adsorption phenomenon was governed by two processes, i.e., complexation up to the inflection point (KH between 10.0 mg L−1 at 40 °C and 13.6 mg L−1 at 25 °C) followed by adsorption. The qmax varied from 18.0 to 19.6 mgN g−1 and the adsorbent was reusable, maintaining its initial adsorbent capacity during its first reuse. This material, which was tested on real effluents, presented a N–NH3 removal rate similar to that shown by the test solutions. The treatment of chrysotile with H3PO4 conducts it to a composite that adsorbs ammoniacal nitrogen at pH 10 and it is reusable maintaining the adsorption capacity.
