[PMID: 37525081 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-28908-9] [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: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023]
Abstract
Waste derived from the textile industry can contain a wide variety of pollutants of organic and inorganic natures, such as dyes (e.g., acid, basic, reactive, mordant dyes) and toxic metals (e.g., lead, chromium, cadmium). The presence of pollutants at high concentrations in textile waste makes them relevant sources of pollution in the environment. To solve this problem, various technologies have been developed for the removal of pollutants from these matrices. Thus, adsorption emerges as an efficient alternative for textile waste remediation, providing advantages as simplicity of operation, economy, possibility of using different adsorbent materials, and developing on-line systems that allow the reuse of the adsorbent during several adsorption/desorption cycles. This review will initially propose an introduction to the adsorption world, its fundamentals, and aspects related to kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamics. The possible mechanisms through which a pollutant can be retained on an adsorbent will be explained. The analytical techniques that offer valuable information to characterize the solid phases as well as each adsorbate/adsorbent system will be also commented. The most common synthesis techniques to obtain carbon nano-adsorbents have been also presented. In addition, the latest advances about the use of these adsorbents for the removal of pollutants from textile waste will be presented and discussed. The contributions reported in this manuscript demonstrated the use of highly efficient carbon-based nano-adsorbents for the removal of both organic and inorganic pollutants, reaching removal percentages from 65 to 100%.

Roy S, Ahmaruzzaman M. Ionic liquid based composites: A versatile materials for remediation of aqueous environmental contaminants. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 315:115089. [PMID: 35525038 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.115089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2021] [Revised: 04/01/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Water pollution is one of the most aggravated problems threatening the sustainability of human race and other life forms due to the rapid pace of civilization and industrialization. A long history exists of release of hazardous pollutants into the water bodies due to selfish human activities since the Industrial Revolution, but no effort has been completely successful in curbing the activities that result in the degradation of our environment. These pollutants are harmful, carcinogenic and have adverse health effects to all forms of life. Thus, remarkable efforts have been geared up to obtain clean water by exploiting science and technology. The application of Ionic liquids (ILs) as sustainable materials have received widespread attention since the last decade. Their interesting properties, simplicity in operation and satisfactory binding capacities in elimination of the contaminants makes them a valuable prospect to be utilized in wastewater treatment. Immobilizing and grafting the solid supports with ILs have fetched efficient results to exploit their potential in the adsorptive removal processes. This review provides an understanding of the recent developments and outlines the possible utility of IL based nano adsorbents in the removal of organic compounds, dyes and heavy metal ions from aqueous medium. Effect of several parameters such as sorbent dosage, pH and temperature on the removal efficiency has also been discussed. Moreover, the adsorption isotherms, thermodynamics and mechanism are comprehensively studied. It is envisioned that the literature gathered in this article will guide the budding scientists to put their interest in this area of research in the days to come.

Direct grafting of cellulose nanocrystals with poly(ionic liquids) via Gamma-ray irradiation and their utilization for adsorptive removal of CR. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 194:1029-1037. [PMID: 34856214 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.11.175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2021] [Revised: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
In this work, a simple but effective method based on Gamma-ray initiated polymerization was reported for the first time through direct irradiation of CNCs and ionic liquid monomer to obtain poly (ionic liquids) functionalized CNCs (IL@CNCs). The adsorptive removal of Congo red (CR) from aqueous solution by IL@CNCs was also examined and the influence of contact time, pH values, initial concentrations and temperature on adsorption behavior was investigated in detail. Under the same adsorption conditions, the adsorption capacity was increased from 59.72 mg/g (CNCs) to 195.83 mg/g (IL@CNCs). The results of the adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics showed that the experimental data were more suitable to be described by the Freundlich isotherm adsorption model and the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption process of CR on the surface of the adsorbent was endothermic and spontaneous. When the aqueous solution was acidic, it was more conducive to the adsorption of CR. At 100% breakthrough, the value of adsorption capacity is 199.95 mg/g and the value of partition coefficient is 9.64. Moreover, the adsorption capacity is expected to be further improved through adjustment of polymerization parameters and this method can also be used for preparation other poly (ionic liquids) modified composites.

Koreshkova AN, Gupta V, Peristyy A, Hasan CK, Nesterenko PN, Paull B. Recent advances and applications of synthetic diamonds in solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography. J Chromatogr A 2021; 1640:461936. [PMID: 33548824 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2021.461936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Revised: 01/18/2021] [Accepted: 01/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Since the advent of diamond-based adsorbents in the late 1960s, the interest in their use for solid-phase extraction (SPE) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has steadily increased. This is primarily due to their unique properties, such as extreme chemical and thermal stability, high mechanical strength and biocompatibility, and complex mixed-mode retention mechanisms. Currently, the most commonly used synthetic diamonds in SPE and HPLC are detonation nanodiamonds (DND), high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) diamonds, and chemical vapour deposition (CVD) diamonds. These diamonds have been either used as individual particles (in both modified and unmodified forms), or for surface modification, or entrapped within composites and core-shell particles to develop new diamond-based adsorbents. These diamond-based adsorbents have been used for a variety of applications, including streamlined proteome analysis; extraction of anions, cations, actinides, uranium, lanthanides, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, and post-transition metals; and development of reversed-phase, normal phase, hydrophilic interaction, ion chromatography, and mixed-mode liquid chromatography columns, to name but a few. These varied applications of different types of diamonds are typically governed by their specific properties. This review discusses the various surface and bulk properties of DND, HPHT diamonds, and CVD diamonds that facilitate or limit their use in different SPE and HPLC based applications.

Tuning nanotubular structures by templateless electropolymerization with thieno[3,4-b]thiophene-based monomers with different substituents and water content. J Colloid Interface Sci 2019; 564:19-27. [PMID: 31896424 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2019.12.099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2019] [Revised: 12/20/2019] [Accepted: 12/22/2019] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
Here, templateless electropolymerization is employed to produce nanotubular structures from various thieno[3,4-b]thiophene-based monomers that differ in substituent structure and size, as well as the linker connecting the thieno[3,4-b]thiophene core and substituent. The formation of densely packed vertically aligned are obtained from monomers with a pyrene substituent and when a significant amount of water (CH2Cl2 + H2O) is included in the solvent. The geometrical parameters of the nanotubes are highly dependent on the electopolymerization method. A significant amount of air is trapped within the structure of the densely packed open nanotubes obtained with Qs = 100 mC cm-2 causing an increase in water contact angle (θw) up to 82.6° (intermediate state between the Wenzel and the Cassie-Baxter state), and θw can become even more hydrophobic by further modifying the deposition method or the electrolyte.
