Abstract
On the global level, uranium is considered the main nuclear energy source, and its removal from terrestrial ores is enough to last until the end of the current century. Therefore, a major focus is attracted toward the capture of uranium from a sustainable source (seawater). Uranium recovery from seawater has been reported over the last few decades, and recently many efforts have been devoted to the preparation of such adsorbents with higher selectivity and adsorption capacity. The purpose of this review is to report the advancement in adsorbent preparation and modification of porous materials. It also discusses challenges such as adsorbent selectivity, low uranium concentration in seawater, contact time, biofouling, and the solution to the problems necessary to ensure a better adsorption performance of the adsorbent.

Abstract
Groundwater is usually utilized as a drinking water asset everywhere. Therefore, groundwater defilement by poisonous radioactive metals such as uranium (VI) is a major concern due to the increase in nuclear power plants as well as their by-products which are released into the watercourses. Waste Uranium (VI) can be regarded as a by-product of the enrichment method used to produce atomic energy, and the hazard associated with this is due to the uranium radioactivity causing toxicity. To manage these confronts, there are so many techniques that have been introduced but among those adsorptions is recognized as a straightforward, successful, and monetary innovation, which has gotten major interest nowadays, despite specific drawbacks regarding operational as well as functional applications. This review summarizes the various adsorbents such as Bio-adsorbent/green materials, metal oxide-based adsorbent, polymer based adsorbent, graphene oxide based adsorbent, and magnetic nanomaterials and discuss their synthesis methods. Furthermore, this paper emphasis on adsorption process by various adsorbents or modified forms under different physicochemical conditions. In addition to this adsorption mechanism of uranium (VI) onto different adsorbent is studied in this article. Finally, from the literature reviewed conclusion have been drawn and also proposed few future research suggestions.

Abstract
Dissolved uranium in groundwater at high concentrations is an emerging global threat to human and ecological health due to its radioactivity and chemical toxicity. Uranium can enter groundwater by geochemical reactions, natural deposition from minerals, mining, uranium ore processing, and spent fuel disposal. Although much progress has been made in uranium remediation in recent years, most published reviews on uranium treatment have focused on specific methods, particularly adsorption. This article systematically reviews the major treatment technologies, explains their mechanism and progress of uranium removal, and compares their performance under various environmental conditions. Of all treatment methods, adsorption has received much attention due to its ease of use and adaptability under various conditions. However, salinity and competition from other ions limit its application in actual field conditions. Biosorption and bioremediation are also promising methods due to their low-cost and chemical-free operation. Strong base anion exchange resins are more effective at typical groundwater pH conditions. Advanced oxidation processes like photocatalysis produce less sludge and are effective even at low uranium concentrations. Electrocoagulation shows significantly improved performance when organic ligands are added prior to treatment. The significant advantages of membrane filtration are high removal efficiency and the ability to recover uranium. While each technology has its merits and demerits, no single technology is entirely suitable under all conditions. One major area of concern with all technologies is the need to dispose of liquid and solid waste generated after treatment safely. Future research must focus on developing hybrid and state-of-the-art technologies for effective and sustainable uranium removal from groundwater. Developing holistic management strategies for uranium removal will hinge on understanding its speciation, mechanisms of fate and transport, and socio-economic conditions of the affected areas.

Abstract
Abstract
The iron oxide surface was modified with succinic acid moiety and the adsorbent obtained, Fe-SUC, was evaluated for the adsorption of U(VI) (Uranium (VI)) from aqueous solution. The Fe-SUC was characterized by FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction, SEM-EDX (Scanning Electron Microscope - Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy), and particle size analysis. The adsorption behavior of U(VI) on Fe-SUC was studied as a function of pH, contact time, and concentration of U(VI) in the aqueous phase. The adsorption of U(VI) increased with increase in the pH of aqueous phase, and the adsorption saturation occurred at pH = 6. The kinetic data obtained for the adsorption of U(VI) on Fe-SUC were modeled with the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order rate models. Similarly, the U(VI) adsorption isotherm was fitted with Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption isotherm models. The Langmuir adsorption capacity of U(VI) on Fe-SUC was about ∼176 mg g−1. The selectivity of the adsorbent toward U(VI) was evaluated in the presence of several possible interfering ions. The adsorbed U(VI) was recovered by 0.5 M sodium carbonate solution and the spent adsorbent was tested for its reusability.

Abstract
The paper presents the synthesis of a hydroxyapatite/iron oxide composite utilizing the wet chemical method, as well as the comparison of several selected material characteristics. As follows from the literature reports, hydroxyapatite is a common mineral possessing numerous significant properties. Nowadays, there is an increase in the amount of research on possible modifications of this compound. The promising way to improve hydroxyapatite features is its combination with iron oxide. Particularly, there can be two forms that are distinguished, namely Fe3O4 and γ-Fe2O3. These oxides exhibit valuable properties, particularly magnetism. A combination of the mentioned materials leads to multifunctional composite formation with many potential applications, as follows from several studies. However, this area of science is not fully developed. There are still many aspects to be examined. The synthesized composite and its components were analyzed by employing the following methods. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed formation of hydroxyapatite and Fe2O3 crystalline phases. Moreover, porosimetry proved a larger specific area for the composite sample in comparison with other materials. The results obtained using the SEM method confirmed an external layer of hydroxyapatite and spherical shapes of internal Fe2O3 particles. Furthermore, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data presented characteristic peaks of Fe, Ca, P, and O atoms in all samples. The Fourier Transform Infrared spectra displayed all the specific vibrations typical of the analyzed materials. What is more, the Vibrating Sample Magnetometer method confirmed the paramagnetic nature of the samples. It could be concluded that the synthesized composite has intermediate properties between the components used in the formation process. The results suggest that these composites are superparamagnetic. This type of material architecture would be well suited for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The production of stable and homogeneous batches during nanoparticle fabrication is challenging. Surface charging, as a stability determinant, was estimated for 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) coated pre-formed magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs). An important consideration for preparing stable and homogenous MNPs colloidal systems is the dispersion stage of pre-formed samples, which makes it feasible to increase the MNP reactive binding sites, to enhance functionality. The results gave evidence that the samples that had undergone stirring had a higher loading capacity towards polyanions, in terms of filler content, compared to the sonicated ones. These later results were likely due to the harsh effects of sonication (extremely high temperature and pressure in the cavities formed at the interfaces), which induced the destruction of the MNPs.

Abstract
of the points of zero charge (PZC) and isoelectric points (IEP) of various materials published in the recent literature and of older results overlooked in the previous compilations. The roles of experimental conditions, especially of the temperature, of the nature and concentration of supporting electrolyte, and of the type of apparatus are emphasized. The newest results are compared with the zero points reported in previous reviews. Most recent studies were carried out with materials whose pH dependent surface charging is already well-documented, and the newest results are consistent with the older literature. Isoelectric points of Gd(OH)3, Sm(OH)3, and TeO2 have been reported for the first time in the recent literature.

Abstract
Uranium (U) is a radionuclide of key environmental interest due its abundance by mass within radioactive waste and presence in contaminated land scenarios. Ubiquitously present iron (oxyhydr)oxide mineral phases, such as (nano)magnetite, have been identified as candidates for immobilisation of U via incorporation into the mineral structure. Studies of how biogeochemical processes, such as sulfidation from the presence of sulfate-reducing bacteria, may affect iron (oxyhydr)oxides and impact radionuclide mobility are important in order to underpin geological disposal of radioactive waste and manage radioactively contaminated land. Here, this study utilised a highly controlled abiotic method for sulfidation of U(V) incorporated into nanomagnetite to determine the fate and speciation of U. Upon sulfidation, transient release of U into solution occurred (∼8.6% total U) for up to 3 days, despite the highly reducing conditions. As the system evolved, lepidocrocite was observed to form over a period of days to weeks. After 10 months, XAS and geochemical data showed all U was partitioned to the solid phase, as both nanoparticulate uraninite (U(IV)O2) and a percentage of retained U(V). Further EXAFS analysis showed incorporation of the residual U(V) fraction into an iron (oxyhydr)oxide mineral phase, likely nanomagnetite or lepidocrocite. Overall, these results provide new insights into the stability of U(V) incorporated iron (oxyhydr)oxides during sulfidation, confirming the longer term retention of U in the solid phase under complex, environmentally relevant conditions.

Abstract
Sustainable treatment of wastewater containing trivalent chromium (Cr3+) remains a significant challenge owing to the several limitations of the existing methodologies. Herein, combination of biosynthesis and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) for the fabrication and optimization of Shewanella oneidensis biofilm functionalized graphene-magnetite (GrM) nanobiocomposite was adopted as a 'living functional nanomaterial' (viz. S-GrM) for effective removal of Cr3+ ions from aqueous solution. In the biosynthetic process, S. oneidensis cells reduced the GO-akaganeite complex and adhered on the as-synthesized GrM nanocomposite to form S-GrM hybrid-nanobiocomposite. The process parameters for fabrication of S-GrM hybrid-nanobiocomposite was optimized by RSM based on four responses of easy magnetic separation, biofilm formation along with protein, and carbohydrate contents in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The morphology and chemical composition of S-GrM hybrid-nanobiocomposite were investigated using various spectroscopic and microscopic analyses and subsequently explored for removal of Cr3+ ions. The hybrid-nanobiocomposite effectively removed 304.64 ± 14.02 mg/g of Cr3+ at pH 7.0 and 30 °C, which is found to be very high compared to the previously reported values. The high surface area of graphene, biofilm biomass of S. oneidensis and plenty of functional groups provided a unique structure to the S-GrM hybrid-nanobiocomposite for efficient removal of Cr3+ through synergistic interaction. The FTIR and zeta potential studies confirmed that electrostatic and chelation/complexation reaction played key roles in the adsorption process. The fabrication of S-GrM nanobiocomposite thus creates a novel hybrid 'living functional nanomaterial' for low cost, recyclable, and sustainable removal of Cr3+ from wastewater.

Abstract
In the paper, investigation results of the uptake efficiency of radionuclides 60Co, 90Sr, and 137Cs dissolved in water onto iron oxides α-Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 are presented. It was found that sorption efficiency increased for higher pH values. Independent of the oxide nature, the uptake characteristics are the best toward 60Co and the worst toward 137Cs, forming the row as follows: 60Co > 90Sr > 137Cs. The highest sorption ability at pH 9 was found for magnetite Fe3O4, which was 93%, 73%, and 26% toward 60Co, 90Sr, and 137Cs, respectively, while the respective percentages for hematite α-Fe2O3 were 85%, 41%, and 18%. It was assumed that the main sorption mechanism was ion exchange. That may explain some decrease of the sorption efficiency in drinking water due to the interfering presence of magnesium and calcium cations. The obtained results indicated the feasibility of the tested sorbents and their merits, especially in terms of relatively high uptake coefficients, low costs, availability, and lack of toxicity.

Fabrication, Microstructure and Colloidal Stability of Humic Acids Loaded Fe 3O 4/APTES Nanosorbents for Environmental Applications. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11061418. [PMID: 34072193 PMCID: PMC8228359 DOI: 10.3390/nano11061418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2021] [Revised: 05/23/2021] [Accepted: 05/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
Nowadays, numerous researches are being performed to formulate nontoxic multifunctional magnetic materials possessing both high colloidal stability and magnetization, but there is a demand in the prediction of chemical and colloidal stability in water solutions. Herein, a series of silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) has been synthesized via the sol-gel method with and without establishing an inert atmosphere, and then it was tested in terms of humic acids (HA) loading applied as a multifunctional coating agent. The influence of ambient conditions on the microstructure, colloidal stability and HA loading of different silica-coated MNPs has been established. The XRD patterns show that the content of stoichiometric Fe3O4 decreases from 78.8% to 42.4% at inert and ambient atmosphere synthesis, respectively. The most striking observation was the shift of the MNPs isoelectric point from pH ~7 to 3, with an increasing HA reaching up to the reversal of the zeta potential sign as it was covered completely by HA molecules. The zeta potential data of MNPs can be used to predict the loading capacity for HA polyanions. The data help to understand the way for materials’ development with the complexation ability of humic acids and with the insolubility of silica gel to pave the way to develop a novel, efficient and magnetically separable adsorbent for contaminant removal.

Abstract
Current paper presents biological effects of magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs). "Relations of MNP' characteristics (zeta-potential and hydrodynamic diameters) with effects on bacteria and their enzymatic reactions were the main focus.". Photobacterium phosphoreum and bacterial enzymatic reactions were chosen as bioassays. Three types of MNPs were under study: bare Fe3O4, Fe3O4 modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (Fe3O4/APTES), and humic acids (Fe3O4/HA). Effects of the MNPs were studied at a low concentration range (< 2 mg/L) and attributed to availability and oxidative activity of Fe3+, high negative surface charge, and low hydrodynamic diameter of Fe3O4/HA, as well as higher Fe3+ content in suspensions of Fe3O4/HA. Low-concentration suspensions of bare Fe3O4 provided inhibitory effects in both bacterial and enzymatic bioassays, whereas the MNPs with modified surface (Fe3O4/APTES and Fe3O4/HA) did not affect the enzymatic activity. Under oxidative stress (i.e., in the solutions of model oxidizer, 1,4-benzoquinone), MNPs did not reveal antioxidant activity, moreover, Fe3O4/HA demonstrated additional inhibitory activity. The study contributes to the deeper understanding of a role of humic substances and silica in biogeochemical cycling of iron. Bioluminescence assays, cellular and enzymatic, can serve as convenient tools to evaluate bioavailability of Fe3+ in natural dispersions of iron-containing nanoparticles, e.g., magnetite, ferrihydrite, etc.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 394:122550. [PMID: 32299040 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.122550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2019] [Revised: 03/13/2020] [Accepted: 03/15/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
The exploration of emergency materials with ultra-fast adsorption rate and great adsorption capability of released U(VI) ions is essentially urgent. The present work successfully fabricated bundle-like hydroxyapatite (B-HAP) microstructures which composed of numerous nanorods by employing a facile and green method. The B-HAP was applied to treat the U(VI) containing wastewater. The abatement of U(VI) by B-HAP was very rapid and the saturated adsorption capacity was superior; over 96.7 % of U(VI) was abated within 5 min, and the maximum adsorption capacity was as high as to 1305 mg/g, signifying the feasibility and effectiveness of this B-HAP in the treatment of uranium-contaminated wastewater due to nuclear accidents. It is worthy to note that other ions in solution exhibited relatively low interference on its performance, indicating that B-HAP has great application potential to capture U(VI) from radioactive-contaminated wastewater as well. The U(VI) removal mechanism by B-HAP was confirmed with results from XRD, FT-IR and XPS. Chernikovite [H2(UO2)2(PO4)2·8H2O] was newly formed after U(VI) abatement by B-HAP. Economic assessment suggested B-HAP and its application on U(VI) abatement were cost-effective. With characteristics of high adsorption rate, large capacity, and strong antijamming ability, B-HAP has great application potential as an emergency treatment material for nuclear accidents.
