Abstract
One of the hottest research topics over the last decades was the valorization or/and recycling of agro-industrial wastes into different valuable liquid or solid products, which is considered a sustainable and low-cost approach. In this study, we developed zero-valent iron nanoparticles from Palm Petiole Extract (P-NZVI) using a green and straightforward approach. The as-synthesized P-NZVI was used to adsorb Cr(VI) in water. The physico-chemical characterizations of P-NZVI, including the particle size, crystalline structure, surface area, morphology, and functional groups, were investigated via several techniques such as UV-vis spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR, AFM, DLS, pHZPC measurement, and BET analysis. The adsorption performance of P-NZVI was studied under different operational parameters, including pollutant concentration, pH, temperature, and adsorbent mass. The adsorption rate was found to be 89.3% within 40 min, corresponding to the adsorption capacity of 44.47 mg/g under the following conditions: initial Cr(VI) concentration of 40 mg/L, pH 5, and a P-NZVI dosage of 1 g/L. It was found that the adsorption pattern follows the Langmuir and the pseudo-second-order kinetic models, indicating a combination of monolayer adsorption and chemisorption mechanisms. The thermodynamic study shows that the adsorption process is endothermic and spontaneous. The reusability of P-NZVI was carried out four times, showing a slight decrease from 89.3 to 87%. These findings highlight that P-NZVI's could be an effective green adsorbent for removing Cr(VI) or other types of toxic pollutants from water.

Aluminium dross waste utilization for phosphate removal and recovery from aqueous environment: Operational feasibility development. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 349:140649. [PMID: 37952825 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
The need to minimize eutrophication in water bodies and the shortage of phosphate rock reserves has stimulated the search for sequestration and recovery of phosphate from alternative sources, including wastewater. In this study, aluminium dross (AD), a smelting industry waste/by-product, was converted to high-value material by encapsulation in calcium alginate (Ca-Alg) beads, viz. Ca-Alg-AD and utilized for adsorptive/uptake removal and phosphate recovery from an aqueous environment. Encapsulation of AD in alginate beads solves serious operational difficulties of using raw AD material directly due to density difference constraining efficient contact of AD with pollutants present in water and post-treatment recovery of AD material. The phosphate removal was evaluated in both batch and continuous flow operation modes. The batch adsorption study revealed 96.86% phosphate removal from 10 mg L-1 of initial phosphate concentration in 70 min of optimal contact time. Further, the phosphate removal potential of Ca-Alg-AD beads turned out to be independent of solution pH, with an average of 95.93 ± 1.40 % phosphate removal in the 2-9 pH range. The result reflects phosphate adsorption on Ca-Alg-AD beads following a second-order pseudo-kinetic model. Ca-Alg-AD beads-based adsorption followed Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. Further, a continuous packed bed column study revealed a total phosphate adsorption capacity of 1.089 mg g-1. The chemical composition, physical stability, and surface properties of Ca-Alg-AD beads were analyzed by means of state-of-the-art analytical techniques, such as Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetry/Differential Thermal Analysis (TG/DTA). These characterization techniques comprehend the mechanism and influence of surface properties and morphology on the phosphate adsorption behaviour, which induce the involvement of multiple mechanisms such as ligand complexation, ion exchange, and electrostatic attraction for phosphate adsorption on Ca-Alg-AD beads.

Abstract
Water pollution, especially by heavy metals, continues to pose significant challenges, emphasizing the urgency to develop sustainable processes to remove pollutants while developing sustainable materials derived from renewable sources. In the present research, a nanoscale adsorbent was prepared to remove cadmium (Cd(II)) ions from wastewater by hybridizing zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) with a cellulose nanocrystal (CNC). The prepared nanohybrid exhibited an interconnected structure in which the ZIF-8 particles were connected to each other via CNC nanoneedles. The hybridization of ZIF-8 with CNC caused a significant enhancement in the adsorption performance of the fabricated nanohybrid compared to pure ZIF-8, increasing its adsorption capacity by nearly 36%. The adsorption of ZIF/CNC followed the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetics models, remarking homogeneous adsorption onto the surface of ZIF/CNC, where chemisorption controlled the rate of adsorption. The thermodynamic study uncovered that the adsorption is spontaneous, endothermic, and entropy-governed as the randomness was increased at the solid-liquid interface. Additionally, the influence of operating variables, such as temperature, adsorbent dosage, pH, and ionic strength, was studied to mimic the adsorption capabilities of the adsorbent in real conditions. Accordingly, the optimum conditions were found to be at 45 °C and pH = 7 with a dosage of 0.4 g/L for the adsorbent. Moreover, the adsorption in a multimetal solution showed that the ZIF/CNC nanohybrid can remove various heavy metals, including Cd(II), Fe(III), Cu(II), and Pb(II) ions simultaneously. Finally, the regeneration study confirmed the great potential of the ZIF/CNC nanohybrid, which retained 94% of its initial adsorption capacity after 5 consecutive adsorption/desorption cycles.

Abstract
With the rapid advancement of nanotechnology and its widespread applications, increasing amounts of manufactured and natural nanoparticles (NPs) have been tested for their potential utilization in treating harmful cyanobacterial blooms (HCBs). NPs can be used as a photocatalyst, algaecide, adsorbent, flocculant, or coagulant. The primary mechanisms explored for NPs to mitigate HCBs include photocatalysis, metal ion-induced cytotoxicity, physical disruption of the cell membrane, light-shielding, flocculation/coagulation/sedimentation of cyanobacterial cells, and the removal of phosphorus (P) and cyanotoxins from bloom water by adsorption. As an emerging and promising chemical/physical approach for HCB mitigation, versatile NP-based technologies offer great advantages, such as being environmentally benign, cost-effective, highly efficient, recyclable, and adaptable. The challenges we face include cost reduction, scalability, and impacts on non-target species co-inhabiting in the same environment. Further efforts are required to scale up to real-world operations through developing more efficient, recoverable, reusable, and deployable NP-based lattices or materials that are adaptable to bloom events in different water bodies of different sizes, such as reservoirs, lakes, rivers, and marine environments.

Abstract
Sulfidated nano zero-valent iron particles were immobilized on ZSM-5 zeolite (Z/S-nZVI) and used for hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) remediation. The performance of Z/S-nZVI improved with the increase in Cr(VI) concentration (< 60 mg/L), while the performance significantly decreased for a Cr(VI) concentration of more than 60 mg/L. The adsorption behavior for Cr(VI) was different from that reported in previous studies. The improved performance can be tailored for increasing efficiency of nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) corrosion, while the degree of corrosion of nZVI was affected by the concentration of the pollutant as discussed by kinetics, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) analyses. The experiments for the dissolution of ferrous ions and the dosage of adsorbent demonstrated that the critical layer in the liquid-solid system changed with the increase in the concentration of Cr(VI) (Cr(VI): Z/S-nZVI > 0.6). Moreover, the removal mechanisms of Cr(VI) were elucidated through XRD, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and XPS techniques. This results demonstrate that the species of chromium in the critical layer changed from Cr(III) to Cr(VI) as the concentration of chromium increased from low to high. Furthermore, the critical layer was composed of Cr(VI), Fe(II), O and H elements. Additionally, the experiments of coexisting ions and aging time confirmed that Z/S-nZVI possessed high selectivity and stability to ensure efficiency and cost-effectiveness in practical applications.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial-MoS2 (molybdenum disulfide) has gained interest among researchers, owing to its exceptional mechanical, biological, and physiochemical properties. This paper reports on the removal of organic dyes and an emerging contaminant, Ciprofloxacin, by a 2D MoS2 nanoflower as an adsorbent. The material was prepared by a green hydrothermal technique, and its high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller-specific area of 185.541m2/g contributed to the removal of 96% rhodamine-B dye and 85% Ciprofloxacin. Various characterizations, such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy linked with energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy, revealed the nanoflower structure with good crystallinity. The feasibility and efficacy of 2D MoS2 nanoflower as a promising adsorbent candidate for the removal of emerging pollutants was confirmed in-depth in batch investigations, such as the effects of adsorption time, MoS2 dosages, solution pH, and temperature. The adsorption mechanism was further investigated based on thermodynamic calculations, adsorption kinetics, and isotherm modeling. The results confirmed the exothermic nature of the enthalpy-driven adsorption as well as the fast kinetics and physisorption-controlled adsorption process. The recyclability potential of 2D MoS2 exceeds four regeneration recycles. MoS2 nanoflower has been shown to be an effective organic pollutant removal adsorbent in water treatment.

Abstract
Biopolymers such as alginate and gelatin have attracted much attention because of their exceptional adsorption properties and biocompatibility. The magnetic hydrogel beads produced and used in this study had a core structure composed of magnetite nanoparticles and gelatin and a shell structure composed of alginate. The combination of the metal-ion binding ability of alginate and the mechanical strength of gelatin in magnetic hydrogel beads presents a new approach for the removal of metal from water sources. The beads were designed for aluminum removal and fully characterized using various methods, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, microcomputed tomography, and dynamic mechanical analysis. Statistical experimental designs were employed to optimize the parameters of the adsorption and recovery processes. Plackett-Burman Design, Box-Behnken Design, and Central Composite Design were used for identifying the significant factors and optimizing the parameters of the adsorption and recovery processes, respectively. The optimum parameters determined for adsorption are as follows: pH: 4, contact time: 30 min, adsorbent amount: 600 mg; recovery time: reagent 1 M HNO3; and contact time: 40 min. The adsorption process was described by using the Langmuir isotherm model. It reveals a homogeneous bead surface and monolayer adsorption with an adsorption capacity of 5.25 mg g-1. Limit of detection and limit of quantification values were calculated as 4.3 and 14 μg L-1, respectively. The adsorption process was described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, which assumes that chemisorption is the rate-controlling mechanism. Thermodynamic studies indicate that adsorption is spontaneous and endothermic. The adsorbent was reusable for 10 successive adsorption-desorption cycles with a quantitative adsorption of 98.2% ± 0.3% and a recovery of 99.4% ± 2.6%. The minimum adsorbent dose was determined as 30 g L-1 to achieve quantitative adsorption of aluminum. The effects of the inorganic ions were also investigated. The proposed method was applied to tap water and carboy water samples, and the results indicate that magnetic hydrogel beads can be an effective and reusable bioadsorbent for the detection and removal of aluminum in water samples. The recovery values obtained by using the developed method were quantitative and consistent with the results obtained from the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a global concern because they harm aquatic ecosystems and pose a risk to human health. Various physical, chemical, and biological approaches have been explored to control HABs. However, these methods have limitations in terms of cost, environmental impact, and effectiveness, particularly for large water bodies. Recently, the use of nanoparticles has emerged as a promising strategy for controlling HABs. Briefly, nanoparticles can act as anti-algae agents via several mechanisms, including photocatalysis, flocculation, oxidation, adsorption, and nutrient recovery. Compared with traditional methods, nanoparticle-based approaches offer advantages in terms of environmental friendliness, effectiveness, and specificity. However, the challenges and risks associated with nanoparticles, such as their toxicity and ecological impact, must be considered. In this review, we summarize recent research progress concerning the use of nanoparticles to control HABs, compare the advantages and disadvantages of different types of nanoparticles, discuss the factors influencing their effectiveness and environmental impact, and suggest future directions for research and development in this field. Additionally, we explore the causes of algal blooms, their harmful effects, and various treatment methods, including restricting eutrophication, biological control, and disrupting living conditions. The potential of photocatalysis for generating reactive oxygen species and nutrient control methods using nanomaterials are also discussed in detail. Moreover, the application of flocculants/coagulants for algal removal is highlighted, along with the challenges and potential solutions associated with their use. This comprehensive overview aims to contribute to the development of efficient and sustainable strategies for controlling HAB control.

Abstract
Cross-linked quaternized polyethersulfone (QPES) hybrid mixed polymer membranes (MPMs) loading amino crystalline nanocellulose (ACNC) were successfully fabricated and applied for phosphate removal. The successful production of novel materials was validated by microscopic, spectral, and microanalytical methods. When compared to the native QPES membrane, the primary qualities of QPES hybrid membranes (hydrophilicity, porosity, permeability, antifouling) have been greatly improved overall. In addition, the surface zeta potential (SZP) and ion exchange capacity (IEC) measurements demonstrated the high positive surface charge densities of MPMs, which is beneficial for phosphate uptake. Phosphate adsorption by these membranes was studied at different temperatures, contact times, and initial phosphate concentrations using batch experiments, to investigate the optimal conditions for phosphate uptake. The MPMs showed excellent adsorption capacities with maximal removal capacities in the range of 68.8-87.95 %. Phosphate adsorption on MPMs was regulated primarily by the Sips isotherm model with multilayer adsorption capabilities and exhibited pseudo-second order kinetics (R2 = 0.9951-0.9976). The positive ΔH° and ΔS° values are indicative of the endothermic nature of phosphate adsorption and randomness increase. The negative ΔG° value indicates the spontaneousity of phosphate adsorption. Phosphate removal effectiveness of the membranes was maintained following recovery and regeneration with NaOH.

Abstract
In the last decade, the application of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) has garnered great attention as an adsorbent due to its low cost, non-toxicity, high porosity, and BET-specific surface area. In particular, the immobilization of nZVI particles onto inorganic and organic substrates (nanocomposites) decreased its agglomeration, allowing them to be effective and achieve greater adsorption of pollutants than pristine nanoparticles (NPs). Although nZVI began to be used around 2004 to remove pollutants, there are no comprehensive review studies about phosphate removal from aquatic systems to date. For this reason, this study will show different types of nZVI, pristine nZVI, and its nanocomposites, that exist on the market, how factors such as pH solution, oxygen, temperature, doses of adsorbent, initial phosphate concentration, and interferents affect phosphate adsorption capacity, and mechanisms involved in phosphate removal. We determined that nanocomposites did not always have higher phosphate adsorption than pristine nZVI particles. Moreover, phosphate can be removed by nZVI-based nanoadsorbents through electrostatic attraction, ion exchange, chemisorption, reduction, complexation, hydrogen bonding, and precipitation mechanisms. Using the partition coefficient (PC) values, we found that sepiolite-nZVI is the most effective nanoadsorbent that exists to remove phosphate from aqueous systems. We suggest future studies need to quantify the PC values for nZVI-based nanoadsorbents as well as ought to investigate their phosphate removal efficiency under natural environmental conditions.

Abstract
The discharge of excessive phosphate from wastewater sources into the aquatic environment has been identified as a major environmental threat responsible for eutrophication. It has become essential to develop efficient but affordable techniques to remove excess phosphate from wastewater before discharging into freshwater bodies. The use of metallic iron (Fe0) as a reactive agent for aqueous phosphate removal has received a wide attention. Fe0 in-situ generates positively charged iron corrosion products (FeCPs) at pH > 4.5, with high binding affinity for anionic phosphate. This study critically reviews the literature that focuses on the utilization of Fe0-based materials for aqueous phosphate removal. The fundamental science of aqueous iron corrosion and historical background of the application of Fe0 for phosphate removal are elucidated. The main mechanisms for phosphate removal are identified and extensively discussed based on the chemistry of the Fe0/H2O system. This critical evaluation confirms that the removal process is highly influenced by several operational factors including contact time, Fe0 type, influent geochemistry, initial phosphate concentration, mixing conditions, and pH value. The difficulty in comparing independent results owing to diverse experimental conditions is highlighted. Moreover, contemporary research in progress including Fe0/oxidant systems, nano-Fe0 application, Fe0 material selection, desorption studies, and proper design of Fe0-based systems for improved phosphate removal have been discussed. Finally, potential strategies to close the loop in Fe0-based phosphate remediation systems are discussed. This review presents a science-based guide to optimize the efficient design of Fe0-based systems for phosphate removal.

Abstract
Zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanoparticles were fabricated using the chemical precipitation method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques were used to investigate the structural parameters of the formed ZnS. The hexagonal crystal structure of the Zn and ZnS phases was formed. The average crystallite size of the ZnS phase is 10.3 nm, which is much smaller than that of the Zn phase (54.5 nm). Several frequencies and phonon modes were detected in the Raman scattering spectrum belonging to the ZnS nanoparticles. The synthesized ZnS nanoparticles were used as catalysts to eliminate the Congo red (CR) dye, with different concentrations, from synthetic wastewater. The impact of the CR dye concentration and shaking period on the adsorption of CR was thoroughly investigated, and various adsorption kinetic models were tested. After 3 h of shaking, the adsorption efficiency reached 26.01% for 40 mg/L CR dye and 27.84% for 20 mg/L CR dye. The adsorption capacities of the CR dye in the presence of ZnS are 16% and 9% for 40 and 20 mg/L, respectively. Based on the correlation factor, the intraparticle diffusion kinetic model was considered the best of the tested models.

Abstract
A hybrid composite based on metal-organic framework (MOF) was chemically fabricated by embedding the magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles within amino-functionalized porous La-MOF (MOF/NH2) to produce a highly efficient and reusable composite of MOF/NH2/Fe3O4. Different proper techniques were used for the characterization of surface morphology and chemical arrangement of the prepared MOF/NH2/Fe3O4 composite. The characterization results using various techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller analysis (BET), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) approved the successful fabrication of MOF with amino arms on its surface besides the well magnetization using magnetic nanoparticles. The MOF/NH2/Fe3O4 composite showed enhanced adsorption capacity (618 mg/g) toward methyl orange (MO) anionic dye which is higher than many commercial reported adsorbents due to the presence of many types of adsorption sites (NH2 groups and lanthanum sites), large surface area of MOF, and the synergetic effect of magnetic nanoparticles. Moreover, the MOF/NH2/Fe3O4 composite showed selective adsorption of MO dye from dye mixtures owing to the electrostatic attraction. Also, the MOF/NH2/Fe3O4 composite retained over 90% of its efficiency for the dye removal even after six successive cycles. So, the present study provided a practical strategy for the design of functional MOF hybrid composites. Furthermore, due to the adaptability of its architectural form, it is a potential adsorbent material for industrial wastewater treatment uses.

Sorption Profile of Low Specific Activity 99Mo on Nanoceria-Based Sorbents for the Development of 99mTc Generators: Kinetics, Equilibrium, and Thermodynamic Studies. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12091587.

Abstract
99Mo/99mTc generators play a significant role in supplying 99mTc for diagnostic interventions in nuclear medicine. However, the applicability of using low specific activity (LSA) 99Mo asks for sorbents with high sorption capacity. Herein, this study aims to evaluate the sorption behavior of LSA 99Mo towards several CeO2 nano-sorbents developed in our laboratory. These nanomaterials were prepared by wet chemical precipitation (CP) and hydrothermal (HT) approaches. Then, they were characterized using XRD, BET, FE-SEM, and zeta potential measurements. Additionally, we evaluated the sorption profile of carrier-added (CA) 99Mo onto each material under different experimental parameters. These parameters include pH, initial concentration of molybdate solution, contact time, and temperature. Furthermore, the maximum sorption capacities were evaluated. The results reveal that out of the synthesized CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) materials, the sorption capacity of HT-1 and CP-2 reach 192 ± 10 and 184 ± 12 mg Mo·g–1, respectively. For both materials, the sorption kinetics and isotherm data agree with the Elovich and Freundlich models, respectively. Moreover, the diffusion study demonstrates that the sorption processes can be described by pore diffusion (for HT-synthesis route 1) and film diffusion (for CP-synthesis route 2). Furthermore, the thermodynamic parameters indicate that the Mo sorption onto both materials is a spontaneous and endothermic process. Consequently, it appears that HT-1 and CP-2 have favorable sorption profiles and high sorption capacities for CA-99Mo. Therefore, they are potential candidates for producing a 99Mo/99mTc radionuclide generator by using LSA 99Mo.

Abstract
Zero-valent iron supported with expanded graphite (ZVI/EG) were successfully prepared from ferric chloride and the graphite of spent lithium-ion battery (LIB) using carbothermic reduction as a new approach for recycling spent LIB. ZVI/EG composites synthesized with different ZVI mass ratios were used as catalysts for the 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) removal from water by heterogeneous Fenton reactions. ZVI/EG composites showed a BET specific surface area of 11.295 m2 g-1. ZVI/EG synthesized from expandable graphite and ferric chloride with mass ratio of 2:1 (ZVI/EG-2) showed the highest removal percentage of 4-CP, being 97% in 1 h. The degradation rate fitted to a pseudo first-order model better, and reached 0.0527 min-1 for ZVI/EG-2. Moreover, ZVI/EG-2 showed high reactivity for 4-CP removal even in the sixth reuse cycle, being 82%. Hydroquinone and 4-chlorocatechol were identified as the intermediate products of 4-CP degradation. Increasing the ZVI/EG-2 dosage can enhance the 4-CP removal percentage through offering more reactive sites and Fe2+ ions. Acidic pH values favorited the 4-CP removal due to the high H+ concentrations, while Alkaline pH value inhabited the 4-CP removal. A higher temperature increased the rate of •OH formation and enhanced the 4-CP removal percentage. At a fixed dosage of the ZVI/EG-2, the ratio of available reactive sites was less at higher initial concentrations. These results prove the possibility of synthesizing high active and stable ZVI/EG catalysts using graphite from spent LIB and ferric chloride. These catalysts show promising prospective for the 4-CP removal in water, with comparable activities to others previously reported.

Abstract
The heavy metal and organic pollution caused by mining activities keep attracting attention, thus an economic and efficient treatment for combined pollution is pressing. In this study, the simultaneous removal performance of typical organic flotation reagent 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) and Cr(VI) was investigated via heterogeneous Fenton process induced by a novel polydopamine (PDA) functionalized attapulgite supported nano sized zero-valent iron (nZVI) composite (PDA/ATP-nZVI). Batch experiments showed that PDA/ATP-nZVI had better catalytic reactivity and reduction ability than both ATP-nZVI and nZVI. Under acidic condition, 96.0% of 8-HQ was degraded accompanied with the 42.5% of total organic carbon (TOC) decrease, while 95.8% of Cr(VI) removal efficiency was accomplished by PDA/ATP-nZVI. PDA not only served as redox mediator in expediting electron transfer, but also acted as electron donor that accelerated transformation from Fe(III) to both dissolved Fe(II) and surface Fe(II), which resulted in the increased degradation of 8-HQ. The synergic removal behavior between 8-HQ and Cr(VI) was discussed and the reaction mechanism in the persulfate (PS)-PDA/ATP-nZVI system was also explored. This study developed a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst, and demonstrated that the PS-PDA/ATP-nZVI system had a potential for remediation of mine environment polluted by both heavy metals and organic flotation reagents.

Abstract
Antibiotic fermentation residue (AFR) has been categorized as hazardous waste in China. Anaerobic biohydrogen fermentation may be a promising technology for handling AFR, which could achieve dual goals of waste treatment and clean energy production at the same time. However, the low hydrogen yield and low removal efficiency of residual antibiotics are two major factors limiting the AFR biohydrogen fermentation process. This work firstly applied gamma radiation (50 kGy) to remove the residual antibiotic in AFR and improve the bioavailability of organic matters, then adding nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) (100-1000 mg/L) to further enhance the AFR biohydrogen fermentation performance. Results showed that residual deacetoxycephalosporin C in AFR was removed with a high efficiency of 98.6%, and hydrogen yield achieved 20.45 mL/g-VSadded with the combined approach of gamma radiation pretreatment and 500 mg/L nZVI addition, which was 139.2% higher compared to the control experimental result. The combined approach also promoted the biohydrogen production rate, decreased the lag phase of hydrogen production, and increased the organics utilization. Microbiological analysis revealed that highly efficient hydrogen-producing genera Clostridium sensu stricto were enriched in much higher abundance with the combined approach, which might be the fundamental mechanism for the enhanced AFR fermentation performance.

Abstract
Periodate (PI)-based advanced oxidation processes have recently received increasing attentions. Herein, PI was readily activated by nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) and subsequently led to the enhanced oxidation of organic contaminants, with the removal performance of sulfadiazine (SDZ) in the nZVI/PI process even higher than that in the nZVI/peroxydisulfate process under identical conditions. Kinetic experiments indicated that the decay of SDZ was susceptible to the dosage of nZVI and PI, but was barely affected by pH values (4.0-7.0) under buffered conditions, suggesting the promising performance of the nZVI/PI process in a relatively wide pH range. Selective degradation of contaminants and 18O-isotope labeling assays collectively demonstrated that iodate radical (•IO3), high-valent iron-oxo species (Fe(IV)) and hydroxyl radical (•OH) were responsible for the abatement of organic contaminants. More importantly, due to the relatively weak steric hindrance effect of PI, PI easily adsorbed on the surface of nZVI and no iron leaching was detected throughout the reaction, implying that PI activation induced by nZVI was a surface-mediated process. Besides, PI was not transformed into harmful reactive iodine species. This study proposed an environmental-friendly approach for PI activation and shed new lights on the PI-based processes.

Abstract
A biotic iron (Fe0) treatment system combined with mixed microorganisms was applied to remediate cadmium (Cd)-contaminated groundwater under the intervention of sulfate. Due to hydrogenotrophic desulfuration effect, severe iron corrosion was observed in this microbe-collaborative Fe0 system according to surface morphology analysis as lots of secondary minerals (e.g. magnetite, green rust and lepidocrocite) were generated, which was essential for Cd(II) adsorption and immobilization. The sulfate-mediated biotic Fe0 system thereafter achieved a significantly enhanced Cd(II) removal efficiency of 86.1%, over 3.3 times than that in the abiotic Fe0 system. Increasing initial sulfate concentration could improve the removal of cadmium, which further proved that hydrogenotrophic desulfuration played a key role for enhanced Cd removal. According to the experimental results and current reports, the mechanism of Cd(II) removal was revealed into three pathways including adsorption to secondary iron minerals, co-precipitation with iron (hydr)oxides and formation of cadmium sulfide precipitation. Increasing Fe0 dosages showed positive correlation to Cd(II) removal and neutral pH was preferred to sulfate-mediated biotic Fe0 corrosion. These results indicated that sulfate-mediated biotic Fe0 corrosion could greatly relieve the limitation of Fe0 in Cd(II) immobilization, which could be a promising method to eliminate Cd(II) pollution from groundwater.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2021; 289:117812.

Abstract
In this study, the biochar (BC) supported Fe-Cu bimetallic stabilized by PVP (Fe-Cu/PVP/BC) were prepared and utilized to enhance the nitrate (NO3-) removal and the selectivity toward nitrogen (N2). Results showed the optimum Fe:Cu:BC ratio and the dosage of the BC (pyrolysis at 700 °C) supported Fe-Cu bimetallic stabilized by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (Fe-Cu/PVP/BC700) were respectively 1:2:3 and 1 mg L-1 with the selectivity toward N2 of 31 %. This was mainly due to the synergy among Fe0, Cu0 and BC in the Fe-Cu/PVP/BC. The addition of Fe0 could reduce the NO3- through providing electron. The Cu0 and BC improved the selectivity of NO3- to N2 through forming [Cu-NO2-ads] and adjusting redox potential. The addition of Fe-Cu/PVP/BC could supply electrons for denitrification and enhance the relative abundances of Azospira and Thauera related to denitrification to improve NO3- removal. This result was further confirmed by the variations of denitrifying functional genes (narG, nirK, nirS and nosZ). This research provided an effective method to improve NO3- removal during surface water treatment in constructed wetlands (CWs) by adding Fe-Cu/PVP/BC.

Abstract
The effective removal of strontium from polluted water is an emerging issue worldwide, especially in Japan, after the destruction of Fukushima's Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. In the strontium removal process, statistical optimization of associated factors is needed to reduce the quantity of chemicals and the number of experimental trials. In this study, response surface methodology based on the central composite design was employed for assessing the influence of different factors and their interaction effects on the efficiency of strontium removal. We have considered nanoscale zero-valent iron-zeolite (nZVI-Z) and nano-Fe/Cu zeolite (nFe/Cu-Z) as adsorbents for the effective removal of strontium. The results suggested that the studied three factors such as pH, contact time, and concentration are positively related to the adsorption of strontium. That is, the maximum strontium removal occurred at pH, initial concentration, and contact time of 12, 200 mg L-1, and 30 min, respectively. The experimental maximum strontium adsorption capacity of nZVI-Z and nFe/Cu-Z adsorbents is 32.5 mg/g and 34 mg/g, respectively. The present study also showed that the most statistically significant potential contributor was initial concentration, followed by contact time in the removal process. The study indicated that the interaction effect between contact time and initial concentration was statistically important, suggesting the need for a multi-mechanism technique in the removal phase of strontium. Tόth, Langmuir, Dubinin-Astakhov (D-A), Freundlich, and Hill isotherm models were also fitted with the experimental strontium adsorption data, in which the Tόth model fitted best compared to the other models based on the RMSD and R2.

Abstract
The rapid evolution of antimicrobial resistant genes (AMRs) in water resources is well correlated to the persistent occurrence of ciprofloxacin in water. For the first time, encapsulated nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) with a shell of magnesium hydroxide (Mg/Fe0) was used to adsorb ciprofloxacin from water. Optimization of the removal conditions exhibited that 5% was the optimum mass ratio between magnesium hydroxide and nZVI [Mg(OH)2/nZVI)] as more than 96% of 100 mg L-1 of ciprofloxacin was removed. In addition, 0.5 g L-1 of Mg/Fe0 showed an extraordinary performance in removing ciprofloxacin over a wide range of pH (3-11) with removal efficiencies exceeded 90%. Kinetic analysis displayed that the kinetic data was well described by both Pseudo first-order and second-order models. Also, the equilibrium data was well fitted by Freundlich isotherm model. In addition, thermodynamic analysis evidenced that the removal of ciprofloxacin by Mg/Fe0 was exothermic, and spontaneous. The experiments also revealed that physisorption and chemisorption were the responsible mechanisms for ciprofloxacin removal. The proposed treatment system remediated 10 litters of 100 mg L-1 of ciprofloxacin solution with 100% overall removal efficiency. This treatment system could be a promising and practical solution to decrease ciprofloxacin concentration in different water bodies.
