Abstract
In today's world, major pollutants, such as cationic dyes and heavy metals, pose a serious threat to human health and the environment. In this study, a novel adsorbent was created through the electrospinning of polyvinyl alcohol/polyacrylic acid (PVA/PAA), incorporated with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) coated with polydopamine (PDA). The integration of hBN and PDA substantially enhanced the adsorption capacity of the PVA/PAA fibers, making them highly effective in adsorbing cationic dyes such as methylene blue and crystal violet, as well as cobalt (II) ions, from contaminated water. The adsorbents were assessed to understand how their adsorption behavior varies with pH, as well as to examine their adsorption kinetics and isotherms. The results indicate that the PVA/PAA-hBN@PDA adsorbent has maximum adsorption capacities of 1029.57 mg/g, 793.65 mg/g, and 62.46 mg/g for methylene blue, crystal violet, and cobalt (II) ions, respectively. This underscores the superior performance of the PVA/PAA-hBN@PDA adsorbent when compared to both the PVA/PAA and PVA/PAA-hBN adsorbents. The adsorption kinetics adhered to a pseudo-second-order model, indicating chemisorption, whereas the Langmuir model implied a monolayer adsorption. Overall, the findings of this study highlight the efficacy of harnessing the synergistic capabilities of hBN and PDA within the PVA/PAA-hBN@PDA adsorbents, providing an efficient and eco-friendly approach to removing cationic dyes and heavy metals from contaminated water, and thereby contributing to a cleaner and safer environment for all.

Study on Adsorption Characteristics and Water Retention Properties of Attapulgite-Sodium Polyacrylate and Polyacrylamide to Trace Metal Cadmium Ion. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1756. [PMID: 38932105 PMCID: PMC11207512 DOI: 10.3390/polym16121756] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The adsorption mechanism of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) can provide theoretical guidance for their practical applications in different environments. However, there has been limited research on the mechanism of attapulgite-sodium polyacrylate. This research aimed to compare the Cd(II) adsorption characteristics and water retention properties of organic-inorganic composite SAP (attapulgite-sodium polyacrylate, OSAP) and organic SAP (polyacrylamide, JSAP). Batch experiments were used to investigate the kinetics of Cd(II) adsorption, as well as the thermodynamic properties and factors influencing these properties. The results show that the Cd(II) adsorption capacity was directly proportional to the pH value. The maximum adsorption capacities of OSAP and JSAP were of 770 and 345 mg·g-1. The Cd(II) adsorption for OSAP and JSAP conformed to the Langmuir and the quasi-second-order kinetic model. This indicates that chemical adsorption is the primary mechanism. The adsorption process was endothermic (ΔH0 > 0) and spontaneous (ΔG0 < 0). The water adsorption ratios of OSAP and SAP were 474.8 and 152.6 in pure water. The ratio decreases with the increase in Cd(II) concentration. OSAP and JSAP retained 67.23% and 38.37% of the initial water adsorption after six iterations of water adsorption. Hence, OSAP is more suitable than JSAP for agricultural and environmental ecological restoration in arid and semi-arid regions.

Abstract
Functionalized magnetic nanocomposites were considered as promising adsorbents owing to their abundant functional groups and ease of separation properties. Herein, we combined the solvothermal method with molecular copolymerization to synthesize a salicylaldoxime-grafted magnetic polydopamine (SMP) core-shell hybrid and exploited it for Cu(II) adsorption. The physicochemical properties of SMP were comprehensively studied by SEM, TEM, XRD, FT-IR, TGA, XPS, and VSM measurements. The results manifested that polydopamine acts as a bridge connecting magnetic iron oxide and salicylaldoxime to fabricated core-shell hybrids with rich functional groups. The batch experimental results showed that the Cu(II) adsorption was consumingly pH-reliant behavior, while adsorption data fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isothermal model well, and the adsorption process achieved equilibrium within 60 min. Moreover, SMP exhibited remarkable anti-interference and can be recycled for 5 times with an inconspicuous decrease in adsorption performance. Importantly, salicylaldoxime functionalization endowed SMP with maximum Cu(II) adsorption capacity of 141.24 mg/g at pH 6.0 and 25 °C as compared with pure MP. Based on FT-IR and XPS study, the main adsorption mechanisms were proposed with a synergistic effect including a strong chemical chelation and partial Cu(II) reduction. Importantly, this strategy can be extended to multifunctional magnetic composites for Cu-contaminated wastewater cleanup.

Abstract
Various water pollution issues pose a significant threat to human water safety. Magnetic polydopamine composites (MPCs), which can be separated by magnetic fields after the adsorption process, exhibit outstanding adsorption capacity and heterogeneous catalytic properties, making them promising materials for water treatment applications. In particular, by modifying the polydopamine (PDA) coating, MPCs can acquire enhanced high reactivity, antibacterial properties, and biocompatibility. This also provides an attractive platform for further fabrication of hybrid materials with specific adsorption, catalytic, antibacterial, and water-oil separation capabilities. To systematically provide the background knowledge and recent research advances in MPCs, this paper presents a critical review of MPCs for water treatment in terms of both structure and mechanisms of effect in applications. Firstly, the impact of different PDA positions within the composite structure is investigated to summarize the optimization of properties contributed by PDA when acting as the shell, core, or bridge. The roles of various secondary modifications of magnetic materials by PDA in addressing water pollution problems are explored. It is anticipated that this work will be a stimulus for further research and development of magnetic composite materials with real-world application potential.

Abstract
Heavy metal contamination in water resources is a major issue worldwide. Metals released into the environment endanger human health, owing to their persistence and absorption into the food chain. Cadmium is a highly toxic heavy metal, which causes severe health hazards in human beings as well as in animals. To overcome the issue, current research focused on cadmium ion removal from the polluted water by using porous magnetic chitosan composite produced from Kaphal (Myrica esculenta) leaves. The synthesized composite was characterized by BET, XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM with EDX, and VSM to understand the structural, textural, surface functional, morphological-compositional, and magnetic properties, respectively, that contributed to the adsorption of Cd. The maximum Cd adsorption capacities observed for the Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MNPs) and porous magnetic chitosan (MCS) composite were 290 mg/g and 426 mg/g, respectively. Both the adsorption processes followed second-order kinetics. Batch adsorption studies were carried out to understand the optimum conditions for the fast adsorption process. Both the adsorbents could be regenerated for up to seven cycles without appreciable loss in adsorption capacity. The porous magnetic chitosan composite showed improved adsorption compared to MNPs. The mechanism for cadmium ion adsorption by MNPs and MCS has been postulated. Magnetic-modified chitosan-based composites that exhibit high adsorption efficiency, regeneration, and easy separation from a solution have broad development prospects in various industrial sewage and wastewater treatment fields.

Abstract
The removal of pollutants, such as heavy metals, aromatic compounds, dyes, pesticides and pharmaceuticals, from water is still an open challenge. Many methods have been developed and exploited for the purification of water from contaminants, including photocatalytic degradation, biological treatment, adsorption and chemical precipitation. Absorption-based techniques are still considered among the most efficient and commonly used approaches thanks to their operational simplicity. In recent years, polydopamine-coated magnetic nanoparticles have emerged for the uptake of heavy metals in water treatment, since they combine specific affinity towards pollutants and magnetic separation capacity. In this context, this work focuses on the synthesis of polydopamine (PDA)-coated Super Paramagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (PDA@SPIONs) as adsorbents for Cu2+ ions, designed to serve as functional nanostructures for the removal of Cu2+ from water by applying a magnetic field. The synthetic parameters, including the amount of SPIONs and PDA, were thoroughly investigated to define their effects on the nanostructure features and properties. Subsequently, the ability of the magnetic nanostructures to bind metal ions was assessed on Cu2+-containing solutions. A systematic investigation of the prepared functional nanostructures was carried out by means of complementary spectroscopic, morphological and magnetic techniques. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) measurements were performed in order to estimate the Cu2+ binding ability. The overall results indicate that these nanostructures hold great promise for future bioremediation applications.

Abstract
Over the past decades, the development of novel catalysts on the degradation of organic pollutants has attracted increasing attention. In this work, we synthesized silver decorated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@PDA/Ag NPs) to activate H2O2 for organic pollutants removal via advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). The catalyst was prepared through in-situ reduction of AgNO3 by the polydopamine (PDA) layer on Fe3O4 NPs. Chemiluminescence results obtained from luminol/H2O2 system revealed that the catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic effect on the decomposition of H2O2 into reactive oxygen species (ROS) and superoxide radical (O2-) was mainly responsible for the oxidative degradation. Importantly, the fast evolution frequency of oxygen gas bubbles produced in the reaction of Ag NPs and H2O2 could generate vigorous fluid convection and autonomous motion of catalyst when H2O2 concentration reached 1%. Additionally, the catalyst can suspend in solution for several minutes. Therefore, by coupling the vigorous motion with slow sedimentation velocity, the catalyst can realize rapid degradation of organic pollutants without external mixing force. The Fe3O4@PDA/Ag NPs catalysts not only showed a high removal efficiency of malachite green, but also can be applied for the degradation of other dyes, making it to be a promise candidate for environmental remediation. With the merits of excellent catalytic effect, fast degradation speed, and simplicity of operation, the prepared catalysts exhibits great potential in the practical field.

Abstract
Design of core/shell composite microparticles for loading/release of organic/inorganic pollutants is of great interest in wastewater treatment. As compared to the classic layer-by-layer strategy, the new approach presented in this study introduced higher organic shell amounts in one-pot deposition step, with less material and energy consumption and lack of toxic by-products formation. Herein, one weak polycation (polyethyleneimine) and two weak polyanions were directly deposited onto silica surface through precipitation of an in-situ formed interpolyelectrolyte coacervate, followed by selective crosslinking with glutaraldehyde and extraction of polyanion chains, confirmed by electrokinetic measurements and FTIR spectra of composites. Twelve composite sorbents were synthesized and tested for adsorption of cadmium, as model heavy metal ion. It was demonstrated that the high sorption occurred onto four newly synthesized composites which is correlated to the deposited shell amount, dependent on the deposition method, polyanion nature and crosslinking ratio. The Cd2+ sorbed amount increased with the polyelectrolyte deposited amount and with the accessibility toward active sorption site, less cross-linked composite shells sorbing higher amounts as compared to strong cross-linked shells, the molar ratio [active site]:[Cd2+] ranging from 16:1 to 26:1. The best fitting of four isotherm (Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips and Toth) and four kinetics (pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, modified Freundlich and Elovich) models was assessed by the sum of normalized errors, based on different nonlinear regression error functions, and by the Hannah-Quinn information criterion. In general, the best agreement with the experimental data was found for Toth isotherm and the pseudo-second order kinetic model. Efficient regeneration of the sorbents was possible at least three times. The competitive effect of Pb2+ and Ni2+ ions was also studied in simulated and real systems. Silica composite sorbents with polyethyleneimine chains as major component of the shell could be very promising in wastewater treatment processes.

Abstract
In this study, dimercaptosuccinic acid-functionalized magnetic chitosan (Fe3O4@CS@DMSA) was synthesized via in situ coprecipitation process and amidation reaction, aiming to eliminate cadmium (Cd(II)) ions from an aqueous environment. The structure, morphology, and particle size of the Fe3O4@CS@DMSA adsorbent were investigated using FTIR, TEM, EDX, TGA, zeta potential, and XRD techniques, and the obtained results approved the successful synthesis of the Fe3O4@CS@DMSA nanocomposite. The influence of external adsorption conditions such as pH solution, adsorbent mass, initial Cd(II) concentration, temperature, and contact time on the adsorption process was successfully achieved. Accordingly, pH: 7.6, contact time: 210 min, and adsorbent mass:10 mg were found to be the optimal conditions for best removal. The adsorption was analyzed using nonlinear isotherm and kinetic models. The outcomes revealed that the adsorption process obeyed the Langmuir and the pseudo-first-order models. The maximum adsorption capacity of Fe3O4@CS@DMSA toward Cd(II) ion was 314.12 mg/g. The adsorption mechanism of Cd(II) on Fe3O4@CS@DMSA nanocomposite is the electrostatic interaction. The reusability test of Fe3O4@CS@DMSA nanocomposite exhibited that the adsorption efficiency was 72% after the 5th cycle. Finally, this research indicates that the Fe3O4@CS@DMSA exhibited excellent characteristics such as high adsorption capacity, effective adsorption-desorption results, and easy magnetic separation and thus could be an effective adsorbent for removing Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
To meet the technical requirements of deep fluid diversion in Bohai oilfield, the swelling property, plugging effect, transport characteristics of polymer microspheres, and fluid diversion effect in heterogeneous cores are studied in this paper. There are two kinds of polymer microspheres including core-shell microspheres and traditional microspheres. The instruments used in this study include a biomicroscope, a metallurgical microscope, a scanning electron microscope, and core displacement experimental devices. The results of microscopes indicated that the core-shell microspheres were successfully synthesized, and the microspheres had good hydration expansion effect. The expanded microspheres could attract each other through the electrostatic force of anions and cations to achieve the purpose of coalescence. Compared with traditional microspheres (initial particle size is 3.8 μm), the initial particle size of the synthesized core-shell microspheres is close to 3.3 μm, but the particle size distribution is more concentrated, so the injection performance is close to that of traditional microspheres (initial particle size is 3.8 μm). After 8 days of hydration expansion, although the expansion multiple is small, it can coalesce and enhance the plugging effect, which can adapt to a wider range of permeability, ranging from 200 × 10-3 to 3000 × 10-3 μm2 (200 × 10-3-1500 × 10-3 μm2 for traditional microspheres). Under the same conditions (heterogeneous core), compared with the traditional microspheres, the core-shell microspheres have the characteristics of coalescence. Therefore, its fluid diversion effect is better, and the oil recovery is increased by 5.5%. Nevertheless, there is the "end effect" during the injection process, which weakens the steering effect of deep liquid flow. The results show that the "end effect" can be effectively reduced by alternate injection of microspheres and water. Meanwhile, the effect of deep fluid diversion is improved, and the increase of oil recovery is increased by 2.06%.

Abstract
The usually inconvenient detection and uneasy recycling of polydopamine (PDA) with sphere morphology as an adsorbent restrict its actual applications in wastewater purification. Thus, novel composite fibers were fabricated via the electrospinning technique by integrating polydopamine microspheres (PDA-MPs) with pH/temperature dual-responsive copolymers. The insoluble fraction of the fabricated composite fibers can be maintained to a value above 89% after being immersed in aqueous solutions with different pH values. Also, the regeneration efficiency of the composite fibers can also remain above 80% after undergoing five adsorption-desorption cycles. These results both indicated that the fabricated composite fibers can avoid secondary pollution during the adsorption process effectively. In addition, the presence of abundant N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM) units within the fibers could make it have a relatively higher water swelling ability of 4643%, which could further offer relatively larger inner spaces to accommodate the dye molecules. Meanwhile, by incorporating β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), methacrylic acid (MAA), PDA, and NIPAM components, plentiful active adsorption sites could be supplied to interact with methylene blue (MB) dye. So, the adsorption experiments of the composite fibers showed a maximum adsorption capacity of 1722.1 mg/g at pH 9.0 and a temperature of 55 °C. Furthermore, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model of adsorption suggested that it is a chemisorption process. Moreover, the adsorption experimental data can be better described by Langmuir models, inferring its monolayer adsorption. The adsorption thermodynamic studies revealed that adsorption is a spontaneous and endothermic process. Also, the increase of temperature facilitated the adsorption processes, owing to the increase of adsorbent's hydrophobicity and molecules' reactivity. The present work suggested that the combination of smart-responsive polymers and PDA-MPs could form an unprecedented system to be a promising candidate adsorbent for wastewater treatment.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2020; 580:550-560. [PMID: 32711205 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2020.07.065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2020] [Revised: 07/11/2020] [Accepted: 07/13/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were coated by polyethyleneimine (PEI), and then Fe3O4@PEI was further modified with MoS2 by the hydrothermal method to fabricate 3D flower-like structured magnetic polyethyleneimine@MoS2 (MP@MoS2) composites, and the composites were served as efficient adsorbents to capture Cr(VI) and Pb(II) from aqueous solution. The effects of temperature, pH, shaking time and environmental conditions on adsorption performance of MP@MoS2 towards Cr(VI) and Pb(II) have been conducted by batch adsorption experiments. The prepared MP@MoS2 exhibited high adsorption capacities (192.30 mg/g for Cr(VI) at pH 3.0 and 256.41 mg/g for Pb(II) at pH 6.0) and the adsorption equilibrium could be achieved in a short time. Moreover, MP@MoS2 composites with high saturation magnetization could be simply separated under an external magnet. Combined experiments and spectral analysis, the underlying adsorption mechanism for Cr(VI) on MP@MoS2 was mainly attributed to the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III), and the removal of Pb(II) was due to the complexation with sulfur groups and amino-groups. Consequently, the prepared 3D flower-like structured MP@MoS2 has a great potential for the practical application in removing Cr(VI) and Pb(II) from the aquatic environment.
