[PMID: 38909453 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a practical orbital shaker-assisted magnetic solid phase extraction (OSA-MSPE) method for the determination of lead by FAAS. A new magnetic poly linoleic acid-polystyrene-polydimethylsiloxane (PSt-PLina-PDMS) hydrophobic graft copolymer was synthesized and characterized by NMR, FT-IR, SEM-EDX, DSC, TGA, BET and used as adsorbent for the extraction of Pb (II). This adsorbent can be used at least 50 times without any decrease of its adsorption properties for the adsorption and elution of analyte ions. Several analytical parameters including pH, adsorbent amount, sample volume, shaking time, etc. were optimized. Multivariate optimization was used for the investigation of different parameters. The linear range at optimum operating condition was 1.7-84 μg L-1. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.5 μg L-1, 1.7 μg L-1, respectively. Intraday and interday relative standard deviation (RSD %), enhancement factor (EF) and adsorbent capacity were found as 1.9%, 3.3%, 166.7, 50 mg g-1, respectively. OSA-MSPE method was tested with certified reference materials including LGC-6010 (Hard Drinking Water), NCS ZC73032 Celery and CS-M-3 Control Sample Microelements in Mushroom Powder for the accuracy. Experimental results for lead were confirmed with certified values. Present method was successfully applied to various liquid and solid food samples. The OSA-MSPE method has some important features such as selective, sensitive, low LOD, LOQ and RSD, pre-concentration factor (PF) and high enhancement factor (EF). High tolerance limits against matrix ions were achieved.

Abstract
Heavy metals (HMs) contamination in agricultural soils is a major constraint to provide safe food to society. Cultivation of food crops on these soils, channels the HMs into the food chain and causes serious human health and socioeconomic problems. Multiple conventional and non-conventional remedial options are already in practice with variable success rates, but nanotechnology has proved its success due to higher efficiency. It also led the hypothesis to use hybrid nanoparticles (HNPs) with extended benefits to remediate the HMs and supplement nutrients to enhance the crop yield in the contaminated environments. Hybrid nanoparticles are defined as exclusive chemical conjugates of inorganic and/or organic nanomaterials that are combinations of two or more organic components, two or more inorganic components, or at least one of both types of components. HNPs of different elements like essential nutrients, beneficial nutrients and carbon-based nanoparticles are used for the remediation of metals contaminated soil and the production of metal free crops. Characterizing features of HNPs including particle size, surface area, reactivity, and solubility affect the efficacy of these HNPs in the contaminated environment. Hybrid nanoparticles have great potential to remove the HMs ions from soil solution and restrict their ingress into the root tissues. Furthermore, HNPs of essential nutrients not only compete with heavy metal uptake by plants but also fulfill the need of nutrients. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges associated with application of HNPs in contaminated soils, environmental implications, their remediation ability, and factors affecting their dynamics in environmental matrices.

Deep insight into selective adsorption behavior and mechanism of novel deep eutectic solvent functionalized bio-sorbent towards methcathinone: Experiments and DFT calculation. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 227:115792. [PMID: 36997045 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
This work designed and synthesized novelly selective, highly efficient and friendly environmental biochar nanomaterial (ZMBC@ChCl-EG) by screening suitable deep eutectic solvent (DES) as the functional monomer via Density Functional Theory (DFT). The prepared ZMBC@ChCl-EG achieved the highly efficient adsorption of methcathinone (MC) and exhibited excellent selectivity as well as good reusability. Selectivity analysis concluded that the distribution coefficient value (KD) of ZMBC@ChCl-EG towards MC was 3.247 L/g, which was about 3 times higher than that of ZMBC, corresponding to stronger selective adsorption capacity. The studies of isothermal and kinetics indicated that ZMBC@ChCl-EG had an excellent adsorption capacity towards MC and the adsorption was mainly chemically controlled. In addition, DFT was used to calculate the binding energies between MC and each component. The binding energies were -10.57 kcal/mol for ChCl-EG/MC, -3.15∼-9.51 kcal/mol for BCs/MC, -2.33 kcal/mol for ZIF-8/MC, respectively, suggesting that DES played a major role in enhancing methcathinone adsorption. Lastly, the adsorption mechanisms were revealed by variables experiment combined with characterizations and DFT calculation. The main mechanisms were hydrogen bonding and π-π interaction.

Preparation of manganese-oxides-coated magnetic microcrystalline cellulose via KMnO4 modification: Improving the counts of the acid groups and adsorption efficiency for Pb(II).

Abstract
Herein, the manganese-oxides-coated magnetic microcrystalline cellulose (MnOx@Fe3O4@MCC) was prepared by coprecipitation and subsequently modified with KMnO4 solution at room temperature, which was in turn applied for the removal of Pb(II) from wastewater. The adsorption properties of Pb(II) on MnOx@Fe3O4@MCC were investigated. The kinetics and isothermal data of Pb(II) were described well by the Pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir isotherm model, respectively. At pH = 5, 318 K, the Langmuir maximum Pb(II) adsorption capacity of MnOx@Fe3O4@MCC was 446.43 mg/g, which is higher than many documented bio-based adsorbents. The results of Fourier transform infra-red and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated that the adsorption mechanisms for Pb(II) mainly involved surface complexation, ion exchange, electrostatic interaction and precipitation. Interestingly, the increased amount of carboxyl group on the surface of microcrystalline cellulose modified by KMnO4 was one of the important reasons for the high Pb(II) adsorption performance of MnOx@Fe3O4@MCC. Furthermore, MnOx@Fe3O4@MCC exhibited excellent activity (70.6 %) after five consecutive regeneration cycles, indicating its high stability and reusability. Endorsing to the cost-effectiveness, environmentally friendliness, and reusable nature, MnOx@Fe3O4@MCC can be counted as a great alternative contender for the remediation of Pb(II) from industrial wastewater.

Abstract
Due to the rapid development of the social economy and the massive increase in population, human beings continue to undertake processing, and commercial manufacturing activities of heavy metals, which has caused serious damage to the environment and human health. Heavy metals lead to serious environmental problems such as soil contamination and water pollution. Human health and the living environment are closely affected by the handling of heavy metals. Researchers must find several simple, economical and practical methods to adsorb heavy metals. Adsorption technology has been recognized as an efficient and economic strategy, exhibiting the advantages of recovering and reusing adsorbents. Biomass-derived activated carbon adsorbents offer large adjustable specific surface area, hierarchically porous structure, strong adsorption capacity, and excellent high economic applicability. This paper focuses on reviewing the preparation methods of biomass-derived activated carbon in the past five years. The application of representative biomass-derived activated carbon in the adsorption of heavy metals preferentially was described to optimize the critical parameters of the activation type of samples and process conditions. The key factors of the adsorbent, the physicochemical properties of the heavy metals, and the adsorption conditions affecting the adsorption of heavy metals are highlighted. In addition, the challenges faced by biomass-derived activated carbon are also discussed.

Abstract
The present study aims at investigating sonochemically synthesized MIL-53(Al) and its applications in adsorption lead ions from aqueous solution. XRD, FESEM, BET, and FTIR analyses were employed to identify and characterize MIL-53(Al). The ultrasonic-assisted synthesis procedure results in reducing the synthesis time to 24 h; however, the conventional synthesis of MIL-53(Al) takes 3 days. Applying ultrasonic waves also leads to increase of the specific surface area up to 50% more than that of synthesized by the conventional method, as well as creating the hierarchical MIL-53(Al) structure which reduces the mass transfer limitation of ions into internal micropores. The optimum conditions for removing lead ions are pH of 6, Pb+2 ion concentration of 20 mg/L, contact time of 60 min, adsorbent dose of 0.04 g, and temperature of 318 K with the removal efficiency of 97.63%. The experimental adsorption equilibrium and kinetic data fit the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, respectively. Moreover, the usage of sonochemically synthesized MIL-53(Al), for the first time as an adsorbent in heavy metal removal points to the great potential of this new environmentally-friendly adsorbent in removing lead ions from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
The concentrations of heavy metal ions found in waterways near industrial zones are often exceed the prescribed limits, posing a continued danger to the environment and public health. Therefore, greater attention has been devoted into finding the efficient solutions for adsorbing heavy metal ions. This review paper focuses on the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from biomass and their application in the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. Techniques to produce CNTs, benefits of modification with various functional groups to enhance sorption uptake, effects of operating parameters, and adsorption mechanisms are reviewed. Adsorption occurs via physical adsorption, electrostatic interaction, surface complexation, and interaction between functional groups and heavy metal ions. Moreover, factors such as pH level, CNTs dosage, duration, temperature, ionic strength, and surface property of adsorbents have been identified as the common factors influencing the adsorption of heavy metals. The oxygenated functional groups initially present on the surface of the modified CNTs are responsible towards the adsorption enhancement of commonly-encountered heavy metals such as Pb2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Hg2+, and Cr6+. Despite the recent advances in the application of CNTs in environmental clean-up and pollution treatment have been demonstrated, major obstacles of CNTs such as high synthesis cost, the agglomeration in the post-treated solutions and the secondary pollution from chemicals in the surface modification, should be critically addressed in the future studies for successful large-scale applications of CNTs.

Abstract
Research on contamination of groundwater and drinking water is of major importance. Due to the rapid and significant progress in the last decade in nanotechnology and its potential applications to water purification, such as adsorption of heavy metal ion from contaminated water, a wide number of articles have been published. An evaluating frame of the main findings of recent research on heavy metal removal using magnetic nanoparticles, with emphasis on water quality and method applicability, is presented. A large number of articles have been studied with a focus on the synthesis and characterization procedures for bare and modified magnetic nanoparticles as well as on their adsorption capacity and the corresponding desorption process of the methods are presented. The present review analysis shows that the experimental procedures demonstrate high adsorption capacity for pollutants from aquatic solutions. Moreover, reuse of the employed nanoparticles up to five times leads to an efficiency up to 90%. We must mention also that in some rare occasions, nanoparticles have been reused up to 22 times.

Abstract
Pure water will become a golden resource in the context of the rising pollution, climate change and the recycling economy, calling for advanced purification methods such as the use of nanostructured adsorbents. However, coming up with an ideal nanoadsorbent for micropollutant removal is a real challenge because nanoadsorbents, which demonstrate very good performances at laboratory scale, do not necessarily have suitable properties in in full-scale water purification and wastewater treatment systems. Here, magnetic nanoadsorbents appear promising because they can be easily separated from the slurry phase into a denser sludge phase by applying a magnetic field. Yet, there are only few examples of large-scale use of magnetic adsorbents for water purification and wastewater treatment. Here, we review magnetic nanoadsorbents for the removal of micropollutants, and we explain the integration of magnetic separation in the existing treatment plants. We found that the use of magnetic nanoadsorbents is an effective option in water treatment, but lacks maturity in full-scale water treatment facilities. The concentrations of magnetic nanoadsorbents in final effluents can be controlled by using magnetic separation, thus minimizing the ecotoxicicological impact. Academia and the water industry should better collaborate to integrate magnetic separation in full-scale water purification and wastewater treatment plants.

Abstract
Fly ash and arsenic species have been regarded as contaminants that pollute the environment. Herein, low alumina fly ash (LAFA) was utilized to fabricate the As(V) and As(III) adsorbent via combining the routes of alkali fusion and incipient-wetness impregnation. The characterization results suggested that the grafted ferric citrate was coordinated to LAFA by substituting a Si4+ to a Fe3+, and the compound monosodium citrate was observed. Based on the XPS analysis, the C-O and -COO- groups of monosodium citrate played the significant role in uptaking As(V) and As(III) species by chemical complexation, the FeOOH adsorbed As(V) and As(III) species via ion-exchange, and the Fe2O3 oxidize As(III) into As(V). Additionally, it was observed that the As(V) removal performance by adsorbent prepared with different modifiers was in the order of FeC6H5O7 (ca. 93.7%) > C6H8O7 (84%) > HCl (73%). And then, the optimal adsorbent synthesis condition for As(V) uptake was explored at ferric citrate loaded LAFA with 1:1 mass ratio (fly ash to NaOH) under temperature 923 K. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacities of the optimal adsorbent were 2725.0 μgAs(V)/g and 2281.9 μgAs(III)/g, and the removal efficiency of As(V) and As(III) was near 100% for their initial concentrations below 500 ppb, where the residual arsenic concentration met the required standard in drinking water (lower than 10 ppb).

Abstract
Numerous contaminants in huge amounts are discharged to the environment from various anthropogenic activities. Waterbodies are one of the major receivers of these contaminants. The contaminated water can pose serious threats to humans and animals, by distrubing the ecosystem. In treating the contaminated water, adsorption processes have attained significant maturity due to lower cost, easy operation and environmental friendliness. The adsorption process uses various adsorbent materials and some of emerging adsorbent materials include carbon- and polymer-based magnetic nanocomposites. These hybrid magnetic nanocomposites have attained extensive applications in water treatment technologies due to their magnetic properties as well as combination of unique characteristics of organic and inorganic elements. Carbon- and polymer-related magnetic nanocomposites are more adapted materials for the removal of various kinds of contaminants from waterbodies. These nanocomposites can be produced via different approaches such as filling, pulse-laser irradiation, ball milling, and electro-spinning. This comprehensive review is compiled by reviewing published work of last the latest recent 3 years. The review article extensively focuses on different approaches for producing various carbon- and polymer-based magnetic nanocomposites, their merits and demerits and applications for sustainable water purification. More specifically, use of carbon- and polymer-based magnetic nanocomposites for removal of heavy metal ions and dyes is discussed in detail, critically analyzed and compared with other technologies. In addition, commercial viability in terms of regeneration of adsorbents is also reviewed. Furthermore, the future challenges and prospects in employing magnetic nanocomposites for contaminant removal from various water sources are presented.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as intriguing 2D materials because of their specific features of 2D morphology and designable skeletons, which have elicited great interest in environment remediation. In this work, 2D MOF nanosheets are fabricated via a mixed-solvent solvothermal method, and a regulation strategy of metal inorganic clusters on MOFs is used to construct two different 2D MOFs with monometallic and bimetallic coordination, that is, Ni-MOF and Ni/Cd-MOF. Binary metal coordination renders more crystal defects and vacancies in the framework; thus, compared to monometallic Ni-MOF, bimetallic Ni/Cd-MOF exhibits fewer layers (4∼5 layers), higher specific surface area, larger pore size, and higher surface electronegativity, which leads to its excellent adsorption removal for Pb2+, with higher adsorption rate and affinity, and superior adsorption capacity (950.61 mg/g, almost twice as high as that of monometallic Ni-MOF). Besides, the adsorption mechanism further confirmed that the carboxyl groups (−COO−) from organic linker on 2D MOFs serve as the main binding sites for Pb2+ coordination, and bimetallic Ni/Cd-MOF has more active −COO− sites for Pb2+ capture. Thus, the bimetallic Ni/Cd-MOF regulated by heterogeneous metal atoms shows promising application for highly efficient adsorption of heavy metal ions.
