[PMID: 38930286 PMCID: PMC11205702 DOI: 10.3390/ma17122917] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Precipitation is an important factor that influences the quality of surface water in many regions of the world. The pollution of stormwater runoff from roads and parking lots is an understudied area in water quality research. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of the physicochemical properties of rainwater flowing from parking lots was carried out, considering heavy metals and organic micropollutants. High concentrations of zinc were observed in rainwater, in addition to alkanes, e.g., tetradecane, hexadecane, octadecane, 2,6,10-trimethyldodecane, 2-methyldodecane; phenolic derivatives, such as 2,6-dimethoxyphenol and 2,4-di-tertbutylphenol; and compounds such as benzothiazole. To remove the contaminants present in rainwater, adsorption using silica carriers of the MCF (Mesostructured Cellular Foams) type was performed. Three groups of modified carriers were prepared, i.e., (1) SH (thiol), (2) NH2 (amino), and (3) NH2/SH (amine and thiol functional groups). The research problem, which is addressed in the presented article, is concerned with the silica carrier influence of the functional group on the adsorption efficiency of micropollutants. The study included an evaluation of the effects of adsorption dose and time on the efficiency of the contaminant removal process, as well as an analysis of adsorption isotherms and reaction kinetics. The colour adsorption from rainwater was 94-95% for MCF-NH2 and MCF-NH2/SH. Zinc adsorbance was at a level of 90% for MCF-NH2, and for MCF-NH2/SH, 52%. Studies have shown the high efficacy (100%) of MCF-NH2 in removing organic micropollutants, especially phenolic compounds and benzothiazole. On the other hand, octadecane was the least susceptible to adsorption in each case. It was found that the highest efficiency of removal of organic micropollutants and zinc ions was obtained through the use of functionalized silica NH2.

Abstract
Spherical particles with tunable anisotropic structures enabled by multiple surface functionalities have garnered interest for their potential applications in adsorption technologies. The presence of diverse functional groups in the surface layer, exhibiting varying acidity and hydrophilicity, can lead to unique characteristics in terms of surface structure and behaviour. In this study, the particles were synthesised using a two-step approach involving surface functionalisation of previously synthesised SiO2 Stöber particles. This was achieved by employing 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) and 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) in a toluene-in-water emulsion. The resulting particles were found to be nonporous, with a specific surface area of 8 m2 g-1. Their sizes were determined to be up to 350 nm through photon cross-correlation spectroscopy. Moreover, the particles exhibited a high net content of functional groups (both amino and mercapto) of 2 mmol g-1. The organisation of the particles during synthesis was observed through SEM images, providing insights into their structural characteristics. Additionally, the study of Eu(iii), Au(iii), and Ag(i) ions and fluorescein adsorption demonstrated varying interactions on the surface, highlighting the potential applications and versatility of these functionalised particles.

Mechanochemical Solid-State Immobilization of Photofunctional Dyes on Amorphous Silica Particles and Investigation of Their Interactive Mechanisms. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:741.

Abstract
Amorphous silica particles (ASPs) have been reported to exhibit bioactive properties and are becoming the focus of attention as bioceramics. However, their interactions with proteins in living organisms remain to be understood and need to be investigated in order to achieve wider applications. Our research group found that chlorine (Cl)-containing ASPs are useful for protein immobilization. Photofunctional dyes (fluorescein (FS-), methylene blue (MB+)) that have the carboxy and amino groups as the main functional groups were immobilized on the Cl-containing ASPs via the mechanochemical method as the model molecule and their spectral properties were used to investigate and discuss the organic/inorganic interfacial bonding states. In FS-, the oxygen atoms of the carboxy groups in the molecule were immobilized by the hydrogen bonds with the silanol groups on the ASPs surfaces, indicating that there is an optimum Cl content for the immobilization as the monomer state. In the case of MB+, as the Cl concentration in the ASPs increases, the immobilization via the electrostatic interactions between the Cl in the ASPs and the terminal dimethylamino group, and the hydrogen bonding between the N atoms of the MB+ hetero ring and the particle silanol group were enhanced. These results mainly suggest that the protein adsorption system occurs through the hydrogen bonding between the carboxy groups of the protein and the silanol groups on the particles and via electrostatic interactions between the amino groups of the protein and the dissociated silanol groups and the contained Cl at the particles. Thus, the spectral characterization using dyes as probes is expected to predict the protein interactions with the amorphous silica particles.

Design of Nickel-Containing Nanocomposites Based on Ordered Mesoporous Silica: Synthesis, Structure, and Methylene Blue Adsorption. Gels 2024; 10:133. [PMID: 38391463 PMCID: PMC10888240 DOI: 10.3390/gels10020133] [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: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Mesoporous materials containing heteroelements have a huge potential for use as catalysts, exchangers, and adsorbents due to their tunable nanometer-sized pores and exceptionally large internal surfaces accessible to bulky organic molecules. In the present work, ordered mesoporous silica containing Ni atoms as active sites was synthesized by a new low-temperature method of condensation of silica precursors on a micellar template from aqueous solutions in the presence of nickel salt. The homogeneity of the resulting product was achieved by introducing ammonia and ammonium salt as a buffer to maintain a constant pH value. The obtained materials were characterized by nitrogen sorption, X-ray and neutron diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. Their morphology consists of polydisperse spherical particles 50-300 nm in size, with a hexagonally ordered channel structure, high specific surface area (ABET = 900-1200 m2/g), large pore volume (Vp = 0.70-0.90 cm3/g), average mesopore diameter of about 3 nm, and narrow pore size distribution. Adsorption tests for methylene blue show sorption capacities reaching 39-42 mg/g at alkaline pH. The advantages of producing nickel silicates by this method, in contrast to precipitation from silicon alkoxides, are the low cost of reagents, fire safety, room-temperature processing, and the absence of specific problems associated with the use of ethanol as a solvent, as well as the absence of the inevitable capture of organic matter in the precipitation process.

Abstract
Emerging pollutants and a large volume of unused dyes from the textile industry have been contaminating water bodies. This work introduces a scalable approach to purifying water by the adsorption of Acid green 25 (AG), Crystal Violet (CV), and Sulfamethoxazole (SMA) from an aqueous solution by graphene oxide (GO) doped modified silica aerogel (GO-SA) with supercritical fluid deposition (SFD) method. Characterization of GO-SA using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) adsorption isotherms revealed the improvement in the adsorbent surface area, and its textural properties. The high removal percentages observed in most of the experimental runs provide evidence of the excellent performance of the adsorbent towards the anionic and cationic dyes along with the antibiotic. The adsorption isotherm and kinetics showed that the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models could explain adsorption. The adsorbent holds a higher adsorption capacity for SMA (67.07 mg g-1) than for CV (41.46 mg g-1) and AG (20.56 mg g-1) due to the higher hydrophobicity that interacts with the hydrophobic adsorbent. The GO-SA successfully removed AG, CV, and SMA with removal percentages of 98.23%, 98.71%, and 94.46%, respectively. The parameters were optimized using Central Composite Design (RSM-CCD). The prepared aerogel showed excellent reusability with a removal efficiency of > 85% even after 5 cycles. This study shows the potential of GO-SA adsorbent in textile and other wastewater purification.

Diamine Groups on the Surface of Silica Particles as Complex-Forming Linkers for Metal Cations. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 28:molecules28010430.

Abstract
Novel spherically shaped organosilica materials with (propyl)ethylenediamine groups were obtained via a modified one-pot Stöber co-condensation method. The porosity of these materials was tuned with the controlled addition of three silica monomers acting as structuring agents (tetraethoxysilane and bridged silanes with ethylene and phenylene bridges). The morphologies and structures of the synthesized materials were studied by SEM, DRIFT spectroscopy, CHNS elemental analysis, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption, and electrokinetic potential measurements. Their sizes were in the range of 50 to 100 nm, depending on the amount of structuring silane used in the reaction. The degree of the particles' agglomeration determined the mesoporosity of the samples. The content of the (propyl)ethylenediamine groups was directly related with the amount of functional silane used in the reaction. The zeta potential measurements indicated the presence of silanol groups in bissilane-based samples, which added new active centers on the surface and reduced the activity of the amino groups. The static sorption capacities (SSCs) of the obtained samples towards Cu(II), Ni(II), and Eu(III) ions depended on the porosity of the samples and the spatial arrangement of the ethylenediamine groups; therefore, the SSC values were not always higher for the samples with the largest number of groups. The highest SSC values achieved were 1.8 mmolCu(II)/g (for ethylene-bridged samples), 0.83 mmolNi(II)/g (for phenylene-bridged samples), and 0.55 mmolEu(III)/g (for tetraethoxysilane-based samples).

Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM), which exists widely in the environment, coming from different sources, may greatly affect the adsorption of antibiotics. However, the adsorption mechanisms of antibiotics in a sandy soil and the effects of DOM from different sources on the adsorption remain poorly understood. This study systematically investigated the adsorption characteristics of norfloxacin (NOR) onto a sandy soil obtained from the banks of Xi'an in Yellow River and in the presence of three DOM including HDOM (commercially available humic acids), LDOM (derived from fallen leaves) and MDOM (derived from cattle manure). Elemental analysis, UV-vis spectroscopy, 3D-EEM, XPS, TOC, SEM, and FTIR were used to analyze the adsorption mechanism. It was found that all the DOM sources we used could reduce the adsorption of NOR on sandy soil and prolong the reaction time to reach adsorption equilibrium. The decreasing adsorption capacities of NOR by the three types of DOM (10 mg/L) followed the order as: HDOM < LDOM < MDOM, which was related to their aromaticity, polarity and hydrophobicity. These adsorption processes of NOR on sandy soil in the presence of DOM were well fitted by Double-chamber first-order kinetics, Linear model and Freundlich models. Besides, the adsorption reaction was endothermic and spontaneous. Adsorption competition of DOM molecules with NOR, or formation of DOM-NOR complexes in solution resulted in a decrease of sandy soil adsorption capacity. Correspondingly, co-adsorption and cumulative adsorption were also considered to be the key processes that determined NOR adsorption towards sandy soil after adding DOM. Moreover, the adsorption of NOR onto sandy soil exhibited strong pH-dependent characteristic and NOR might be more easily leached from sandy soil in the aquifer at an alkaline pH. High-ion strength suppressed the adsorption. These results would help to understand the fate and risk of NOR under the action of different DOM.

Abstract
Surface -functionalised silica networks are advanced adsorbents. They have been given much attention for treating wastewater using the adsorption technique due to the silanol reactivity, resulting in strong binding affinities towards many pollutants. This review discusses the removal of anionic azo dyes utilising various functional groups such as amines, surfactants, polymers, macrocyclic, and other chelating groups functionalised on silica's surface. This review also reveals the steadily increasing interest in surface-functionalised silicas as adsorbents, emphasising the scholarly advancements in this field as a platform for future research. For that, adsorption capacities with different experimental conditions have been compared. The possible adsorption mechanisms, rate-limiting step, and factors affecting the anionic azo dye adsorption process have been comprehensively discussed. This review discloses that adsorbent characteristics such as porosity and functional groups, besides structural properties of an anionic azo dye, significantly affect adsorption. The adsorption process followed the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order models, with a predominantly spontaneous and endothermic nature. Multiple interactions, including electrostatic interaction, π-π interactions, and hydrogen bonding, are observed between dyes and functionalised silicas, indicating the adsorption process's complexity. Regeneration and cost-economic analysis are also presented to provide a roadmap for sustainable improvements. Chemical and biological regeneration techniques restore > 80% of the spent functionalised silicas. There is a significant opportunity to improve their efficiencies and regenerability, resulting in surface-functionalised silicas being used commercially instead of only in the laboratory. Finally, future research has been proposed by identifying current research gaps, particularly concerning the application of functionalised silicas in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Water and wastewater treatment applications stand to benefit immensely from the design and development of new materials based on silica nanoparticles and their derivatives. Nanosilica possesses unique properties, including low toxicity, chemical inertness, and excellent biocompatibility, and can be developed from a variety of sustainable precursor materials. Herein, we provide an account of the recent advances in the synthesis and utilization of nanosilica for wastewater treatment. This review covers key physicochemical aspects of several nanosilica materials and a variety of nanotechnology-enabled wastewater treatment techniques such as adsorption, separation membranes, and antimicrobial applications. It also discusses the prospective design and tuning options for nanosilica production, such as size control, morphological tuning, and surface functionalization. Informative discussions on nanosilica production from agricultural wastes have been offered, with a focus on the synthesis methodologies and pretreatment requirements for biomass precursors. The characterization of the different physicochemical features of nanosilica materials using critical surface analysis methods is discussed. Bio-hybrid nanosilica materials have also been highlighted to emphasize the critical relevance of environmental sustainability in wastewater treatment. To guarantee the thoroughness of the review, insights into nanosilica regeneration and reuse are provided. Overall, it is envisaged that this work's insights and views will inspire unique and efficient nanosilica material design and development with robust properties for water and wastewater treatment applications.

[PMID: 35629683 PMCID: PMC9143942 DOI: 10.3390/ma15103655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2022] [Revised: 05/04/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
In the present work, we reported on the efficiency of the removal of organic dyes by adsorption on activated carbons prepared from the residue of supercritical extraction of marigold. The performance of adsorbents prepared was tested towards methyl red, methylene blue, malachite green, and crystal violet at room temperature. The effects of carbonization (500 and 700 °C) and activation (700 and 800 °C) temperatures, textural parameters, and acid-base character of the adsorbent surface on the sorption properties of the activated carbons were established. Activated carbons are characterized by low developed specific surface area, from 2 to 206 m2/g, and have a basic character of the surface (pH of carbons water extracts ranging from 10.4 to 11.2). Equilibrium adsorption isotherms were investigated. The equilibrium data were analyzed in the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin models. The adsorption capacities of activated carbons studied varied from 47.62 to 102.43 mg/g towards methyl red, 53.14 to 139.72 mg/g towards methyl red, 425.46 to 622.80 towards malachite green and 155.91 to 293.75 mg/g towards crystal violet, from their water solutions. Kinetics of the adsorption of the organic dyes studied were found to be described by the pseudo-second-order model. It was proven that through the physical activation of the residue of supercritical extraction of marigold, it is possible to obtain carbonaceous materials of very high adsorption capacity towards organic pollutants.

Abstract
Molecular architectures offering large cavities can accommodate guest molecules, while their compositional engineering allows tunability of the band gap to support photocatalysis using visible light. In this work, two lanthanide (Ln)-based macrocycles, synthesized using a cobalt-based metalloligand and offering large rectangular cavities, exhibited selective adsorption of neutral dyes over both anionic and cationic dyes. Both Ln macrocycles illustrated complete photodegradation of cationic dyes using visible light without the use of any oxidant. Both Ln macrocycles exhibited complete photodegradation of not only cationic dyes but also a few phenothiazine-based antipsychotic drugs. Photocatalysis involved the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which was corroborated with the band gap of two Ln macrocycles. These results were supported by radical scavenger studies and the quantitative estimation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. Complete photodegradation of both dyes and drugs was confirmed by spectral studies, while the generation of CO2 and N2 gases was established by gas chromatography. Importantly, Ln macrocycles were able to distinguish between the neutral dyes that were quantitatively adsorbed and the cationic dyes/drugs that were completely photodegraded.

Abstract
Monolithic carbon foams are promising materials for adsorption due to the easy recyclability and without secondary-pollution. However, poor adsorption efficiency for organic pollutants limits its practical application. Hence, this work proposed a novel monolithic porous carbon foam by a facile carbonization approach as freestanding electrodes to remove the organic dyes. The prepared carbon foam derived from waste cigarette filters and zeolitic-imidazolate frameworks-8 with well-developed pores, and the calculated surface area is 1457 m2·g-1, and exhibited an outstanding removal efficiency for methylene blue in aqueous. The maximum adsorption capacity for methylene blue can reach up to 1846.7 mg·g-1 under the applied voltage of -1.2 V. Importantly, as-prepared carbon foams possessed excellent stability, and the removal efficiency can remain above 85% after 5 cycles. Thus, obtained porous carbon foams in this paper as a free standing electrode is expected to be promising materials of adsorbent besides supercapacitors.

Preparation of Amino-Functionalized Mesoporous SBA-15 Nanoparticles and the Improved Adsorption of Tannic Acid in Wastewater. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12050791. [PMID: 35269279 PMCID: PMC8912468 DOI: 10.3390/nano12050791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Ordered mesoporous Santa Barbara amorphous (SBA-15) materials have high surface areas and are widely used in adsorption, separation, filtration, and heterogeneous catalytic processes. However, SBA-15 surfaces contain hydroxyl groups that are unsuited to the adsorption of organic pollutants; thus, SBA-15 must be chemically modified to promote its adsorption activity. In this study, amino-functionalized nanoporous SBA-15 was fabricated by employing sodium silicate as a precursor. The structural characteristics of the prepared composites were examined using thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and surface area analysis. The prepared SBA-15 had a large pore size (6.46–7.60 nm), large pore volume (1.037–1.105 cm3/g), and high surface area (546–766 m2/g). Functionalization caused a reduction in the SBA-15 pore volume and surface area, whereas amino groups that promoted an interaction between adsorbates and solids facilitated solute adsorption. The adsorption of tannic acid (TA) onto amino-modified silica composites (SBA-15 and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (SBA-15/APTES) and SBA-15 and pentaethylenehexamine (SBA-15/PEHA)) was studied. Their adsorption capacities were affected by solution temperature, solution pH, agitation speed, adsorbent dosage, and initial TA concentration. The maximum adsorption capacities for SBA-15/APTES and SBA-15/PEHA were 485.18 and 413.33 mg/g, respectively, with SBA-15/APTES exhibiting ultrafast removal of TA (98.61% removal rate at 15 min). In addition, this study explored the thermodynamics, adsorption isotherms, and kinetics. A comparison of two types of amino-functionalized SBA-15 was used for the first time to adsorb TA, which providing valuable information on TA adsorption on high adsorption capacity materials in water media.

Abstract
In the present study, collagen fibers derived from leather solid wastes were used and modified as insoluble vectors and successfully employed as adsorbents for the removal of acid dyes. A “one-step” method was applied to synthesis effective adsorbents, which provided a sustainable way to reuse leather solid wastes via multifunctional modification. The adsorption properties of amino-terminated hyperbranched polymer (HBPN)-modified collagen fibers for the removal of different kinds of acid dyestuff from aqueous solutions were studied. The adsorption capacities of the second generation of modified collagen fibers (CF-HBPN-II) toward Isolan Black 2S-LD, Supralan Yellow, Isolan Grey K-PBL 02, Isolan Dark Blue 2S-GL 03, and Isolan Brown NHF-S were determined to be 224.87, 340.14, 287.36, 317.80, and 251.25 mg g−1, respectively. Three kinetic models, namely, pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion, were used to analyze the kinetic data. The fitting result indicated that the adsorption process of Isolan Black 2S-LD on CF-HBPN-II followed a pseudo-second-order rate model. The adsorption equilibrium of amino-terminated hyperbranched polymer-modified collagen fibers (CF-HBPN) was analyzed using the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models. The Langmuir isotherm was suitable to describe the adsorption process of Isolan Black 2S-LD. RL was observed to be in the range of 0–1. The values of ΔH, ΔS and ΔG suggest that adsorption is an endothermic and spontaneous process. The adsorbed dye from the modified collagen fiber was successfully desorbed by 0.1 M NaOH. This research provides theoretical guidance for the engineering and recycling application of bio-based adsorbents. Collagen fibers extracted from leather wastes were modified by amino-terminated hyperbranched polymers to prepare CF-HBPN-I and CF-HBPN-II. The adsorption process of CF-HBPN-II toward Isolan Black 2S-LD is in accordance with the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir model.![]()

Abstract
To adequately address the grave human health risks and environmental damage caused by the uncontrolled utilization of organic dyes, we greenly synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) using Spirulina platensis micro-algae for sequestration of cationic methylene blue (MB) dye from an aqueous solution. The nano-engineered sorbent was thoroughly scrutinized by different spectral analyses of; FT-IR, SEM, EDX, BET surface area, TEM, VSM, UV/Vis spectroscopy, and PHPZC measurement. The adsorption of MB was methodically carried out in a batch process to investigate the effects of initial pH (2.2-10.4), adsorbent concentration (0.5-5.0 g L-1), initial dye concentration (10-1000 mg L-1), contact time (0-230 min), and adsorption temperature (298 K, 308 K, 318 K, and 328 K). The outlined results inferred that the maximum adsorption capacity of MB dye by IONPs (surface area of 134.003 m2/g, a total pore volume of 0.3715 cc/g, and average pore size of 5.54 nm) was 312.5 mg g-1 under the optimized pH value (i.e., pH = 10.4). Collectively, the adsorption kinetics profile showed that the experimental data were in good agreement with the PSORE model, and the equilibrium adsorption isotherm data were quantitatively dominated by the Langmuir model. The thermodynamic findings conformed to the endothermic nature of the adsorption process. Interestingly, the proposed microwave scenario enhanced the adsorption rate and the equilibrium was attained in a very short time (only 1 min), compared with the normal sorption conditions (∼70 min). Repeatability of the spent sorbent was successfully emphasized for 5 times of adsorption/desorption cycles using 0.5 M of HCl. The productive adsorbent admirably sequestered MB dye from spiked real specimens (>83%). These results demonstrated that IONPs can be considered as a cost-efficient adsorbent in practical applications such as wastewater purification.
