Abstract
Together with the rapid growth of technology, the discharge of wastewater from industry into environment had become a hot topic among society nowadays. More attention had been given to the development of water treatment techniques. In this study, sonocatalysis was proposed to degrade the organic pollutants using silver-doped zinc oxide (Ag-ZnO) nanoparticles which were synthesized via green synthesis process using Clitoria ternatea Linn (Asian Pigeonwings flower). The characterization results revealed that the incorporation of Ag into the ZnO lattice decreased the crystallite size and increased the specific surface area of ZnO nanoparticles. It is noteworthy that about 98% of sonocatalytic degradation efficiency of malachite green (MG) was successfully achieved within 30 min in the presence of 5 wt.% Ag-ZnO with 1.0 g/L of catalyst loading under 500 mg/L of initial dye concentration, 80 W of ultrasonic power, 45 kHz of ultrasound frequency, and 2.0 mM of oxidant concentration. The kinetic study showed that the sonocatalytic degradation of organic dye was fitted well into second-order kinetic model with high R2 value (0.9531). In the thermodynamic study, negative value of standard Gibbs free energy and low value of activation energy (+ 24.43 kJ/mol) were obtained in the sonocatalytic degradation of MG using the green-synthesized Ag-ZnO sample. HIGHLIGHTS: • Facile synthesis of silver-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles using plant extract which act as reducing and stabilizing agents • Optical, physical, and chemical characterization of green-synthesized nanomaterials were performed • Evaluation of sonocatalytic degradation of organic dye using green-synthesized nanomaterials • Sonocatalytic behavior, kinetic and thermodynamic studies of sonocatalytic reaction.

Adsorption of Cd(II) ions on magnetic graphene oxide/cellulose modified with β-cyclodextrin: Analytical interpretation via statistical physics modeling and fractal like kinetic approach. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 243:117868. [PMID: 38072113 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/02/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023]
Abstract
In the present study, β-cyclodextrin modified magnetic graphene oxide/cellulose (CN/IGO/Cel) was fabricated for removal of Cd(II) ions. The material was characterized through various analytical techniques like FTIR, XRD, TGA/DTA, SEM, TEM, and XPS. The point of zero charge of the material was obtained as 5.38. The controllable factors were optimized by Taguchi design and optimum values were: adsorbent dose-16 mg, equilibrium time-40 min, and initial concentration of Cd(II) ions-40 mg/L. The material shows high adsorption capacity (303.98 mg/g). The good fitting of Langmuir model to adsorption data (R2 = 0.9918-0.9936) revealed the monolayer coverage on adsorbent surface. Statistical physics model M 2 showed best fitting to adsorption data (R2 > 0.997), suggesting the binding of Cd(II) ions occurred on two different receptor sites (n). Stereographically n > 1 confirming vertical multi-molecular mechanisms of Cd(II) ions adsorption on CN/IGO/Cel surface. The adsorption energies (E1 = 23.71-28.95 kJ/mol; E2 = 22.69-29.38 kJ/mol) concluded the involvement of physical forces for Cd(II) ions adsorption. Kinetic data fitted well to fractal-like pseudo first-order model (R2 > 0.9952), concluding the adsorption of Cd(II) ions occurred on energetically heterogeneous surface. The kinetic analysis shows that both the film-diffusion and pore-diffusion were responsible for Cd(II) ions uptake. XPS analysis was utilized to explain the adsorption mechanism of Cd(II) ions onto CN/IGO/Cel.

Abstract
Nanomaterials, due to their large surface area and selectivity, have stood out as an alternative for the adsorption of contaminants from water and effluents. Synthesized from green or traditional protocols, the main advantages and disadvantages of green nanomaterials are the elimination of the use of toxic chemicals and difficulty of reproducing the preparation of nanomaterials, respectively, while traditional nanomaterials have the main advantage of being able to prepare nanomaterials with well-defined morphological properties and the disadvantage of using potentially toxic chemicals. Thus, based on the particularities of green and conventional nanomaterials, this review aims to fill a gap in the literature on the comparison of the synthesis, morphology, and application of these nanomaterials in the adsorption of contaminants in water. Focusing on the adsorption of heavy metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, dyes, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and phenol derivatives in water, for the first time, a review article explored and compared how chemical and morphological changes in nanoadsorbents synthesized by green and conventional protocols affect performance in the adsorption of contaminants in water. Despite advances in the area, there is still a lack of review articles on the topic.

Synthesis and Performance Evaluation of Novel Bentonite-Supported Nanoscale Zero Valent Iron for Remediation of Arsenic Contaminated Water and Soil. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28052168. [PMID: 36903414 PMCID: PMC10004430 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28052168] [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: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Groundwater arsenic (As) pollution is a naturally occurring phenomenon posing serious threats to human health. To mitigate this issue, we synthesized a novel bentonite-based engineered nano zero-valent iron (nZVI-Bento) material to remove As from contaminated soil and water. Sorption isotherm and kinetics models were employed to understand the mechanisms governing As removal. Experimental and model predicted values of adsorption capacity (qe or qt) were compared to evaluate the adequacy of the models, substantiated by error function analysis, and the best-fit model was selected based on corrected Akaike Information Criterion (AICc). The non-linear regression fitting of both adsorption isotherm and kinetic models revealed lower values of error and lower AICc values than the linear regression models. The pseudo-second-order (non-linear) fit was the best fit among kinetic models with the lowest AICc values, at 57.5 (nZVI-Bare) and 71.9 (nZVI-Bento), while the Freundlich equation was the best fit among the isotherm models, showing the lowest AICc values, at 105.5 (nZVI-Bare) and 105.1 (nZVI-Bento). The adsorption maxima (qmax) predicted by the non-linear Langmuir adsorption isotherm were 354.3 and 198.5 mg g-1 for nZVI-Bare and nZVI-Bento, respectively. The nZVI-Bento successfully reduced As in water (initial As concentration = 5 mg L-1; adsorbent dose = 0.5 g L-1) to below permissible limits for drinking water (10 µg L-1). The nZVI-Bento @ 1% (w/w) could stabilize As in soils by increasing the amorphous Fe bound fraction and significantly diminish the non-specific and specifically bound fraction of As in soil. Considering the enhanced stability of the novel nZVI-Bento (upto 60 days) as compared to the unmodified product, it is envisaged that the synthesized product could be effectively used for removing As from water to make it safe for human consumption.

Abstract
In the present study, terbium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on fcu topology, fcu-Tb- FTZB-MOF, was synthesized using 2-fluoro-4-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)benzoic acid (FTZB) as a linear ligand, and then was characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis and to study the texture properties of the Tb-FTZB-MOF. The characterization results confirmed the successful synthesis of the high surface area Tb-FTZB-MOF (1220 m2/g). The synthesized Tb-FTZB-MOF was then applied as a catalytic adsorbent to remove direct violet 31 (DV31) dye as an example of organic pollutants, from a model and real solution. The effect of various operational parameters such as adsorbent loading, contact time, initial DV31 dye concentration, initial solution pH, different water matrix, temperature, and ionic strength have also been evaluated. Solution pH and temperature significantly influenced the adsorption of DV31 dye using Tb-FTZB-MOF, and the results should efficiently remove the DV31 dye at ambient temperature, and at pH value of 8.0 using 35 mg Tb-FTZB-MOF, within few minutes. The process was studied kinetically and found to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and thermodynamically the process was spontaneous, endothermic, with a positive entropy. Finally, the result showed that Tb-FTZB-MOF was able to adsorb a high percentage of DV31 dye and maintained reasonable efficiency even after five cycles, indicating that Tb-FTZB-MOF could be a promising adsorbent in wastewater remediation.

Abstract
In this research, copper (II) oxide nanoparticles were prepared by an ecofriendly green method using the extract of corchorus olitorus leaves (Molokhaia) as a surfactant, capping and anti-agglomeration agent. The ecofriendly green CuO NPs were characterized using different chemical and physical techniques and the results confirmed the formation of monoclinic tenorite CuO nanoparticles with an average particle size of 12 nm and BET surface area of 11.1 m2/g. The eco-friendly green CuO NPs were used in environmental remediation for the efficient catalytic degradation of direct violet dye via advanced oxidation process (AOP) in presence of H2O2. The impact of AOP environmental parameters affecting the degradation process was investigated. Moreover, the catalytic degradation of the direct violet dye using the ecofriendly green CuO NPs was studied kinetically and thermodynamically and the results showed that the catalytic degradation process agreed well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the process was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. Finally, high catalytic degradation of the direct violet dye was observed when the eco-friendly prepared green CuO NPs were placed in real water samples.

Abstract
Herein, ternary composites from polypyrrole (PPy), Mn0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4 (MZF), and graphite oxide (GO) were prepared to remove acid red dye (AR1) from wastewater. MZF was synthesized using spent Zn–C batteries, acid leaching, and sucrose auto-combustion processes; GO was prepared via oxidation and exfoliation of graphite. The composites were prepared by adding MZF and GO during the in-situ polymerization of pyrrole. Different PPy/MZF/GO (PMG) composites were prepared by changing the weight ratios of the PPy, MZF, and GO. We investigated the prepared composites’ structural, magnetic, and electrical/dielectric properties. We evaluated different experimental conditions’ influences on dye removal performance, such as pH, dosage, dye concentration, temperature, and contact time. XRD, FT-IR, and magnetic properties indicated that PPy completely coated the other contents. The electrical/dielectric properties improved while increasing the GO ratio. The PMG at GO content 50 wt.% (PMG50) showed the most efficient ratio for better removing AR1 from wastewater.

Abstract
The sulfidation of nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) has received increasing attention for reducing the oxidizability of nZVI and improving its reactivity toward heavy metal ions. Here, a sulfide (S)-modified attapulgite (ATP)-supported nanoscale nZVI composite (S-nZVI@ATP) was rapidly synthesized under acidic conditions and used to alleviate Cd2+ toxicity from an aqueous solution. The degree of oxidation of S-nZVI@ATP was less than that of nZVI@ATP, indicating that the sulfide modification significantly reduced the oxidation of nZVI. The optimal loading ratio was at an S-to-Fe molar ratio of 0.75, and the adsorption performance of S-nZVI@ATP for Cd2+ was significantly improved compared with that of nZVI@ATP. The removal of Cd2+ by S-nZVI@ATP was 100% when the adsorbent addition was 1 g/L, the solution was 30 mL, and the adsorption was performed at 25 °C for 24 h with an initial Cd2+ concentration of 100 mg/L. Kinetics studies showed that the adsorption process of Cd followed the pseudo-second-order model, indicating that chemisorption was the dominant adsorption mechanism. The adsorption of Cd2+ by S-nZVI @ATP is dominated by the complexation between the iron oxide or iron hydroxide shell of S-nZVI and Cd2+ and the formation of Cd(OH)2 and CdS precipitates.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) contamination in soils is of great concern, and therefore the development of effective remediation technologies for cadmium contamination is urgent. In our study, nano zero-valent iron (NZVI) supported by metal-organic framework (MOF) materials (MOF-NZVI) were prepared using NaBH4 and FeCl3 to try to solve the soil Cd remediation problem. Herein, the effects and the mechanism of MOF-NZVI for the immobilization of Cd in contaminated soil was investigated. The results showed that MOF-NZVI was capable of converting Cd in soil from weak acid extractable and reducible fractions to oxidizable and residual states, thus effectively reducing the toxicity of Cd in soil. FTIR and XRD analysis confirmed that the dominant reaction mechanism between MOF-NVZI and Cd is adsorption with complexation, and the stabilization of Cd is achieved by the formation of compounds such as FeOCdOH.

Abstract
Freely suspended and porous basket restrained granules of palladium nanoparticles supported on polymer-grafted Macadamia nutshell biomass (Pd@Polym-MNS) composite were used for the treatment chromium(VI)-containing water. In the presence of formic acid, the Pd@Polym-MNS demonstrated its activity in the adsorption-reduction-based conversion of noxious chromium(VI) to less toxic chromium(III) with a low activation energy of 13.4 kJ mol-1, ΔH0 (+ 10.8 kJ mol-1), ΔS0 (-270.0 J mol-1 K-1), and ΔG0 (+ 91.3 to + 98.0 kJ mol-1) indicated the exothermic, endergonic and non-spontaneous nature of the catalytic redox reaction. In addition to facilitating easy recovery, rinsing, and reuse, restraining the Pd@Polym-MNS in the basket reactor helped maintain the integrity of the catalysts by preventing violent collisions of suspended granules with the mixing apparatus and the walls of the reaction vessel. Whereas the pseudo-first-order rate constant was recorded as 0.157 min-1 upon initial use, values of the mean and relative standard deviation for the second, third and fourth consecutive uses were found to be 0.219 min-1 and 1.3%, respectively. According to a response surface methodological approach to batch experimentation, the initial concentration of chromium(VI) and catalyst dosage had the greatest impact on the redox reaction rate, accounting for 85.7% and 11.6% of the variability in the value of the pseudo-first-order rate constant, respectively. Mutually beneficial effects of the combinations of high formic acid and low chromium(VI) concentration, high temperature and catalyst dosage as well as high formic acid and catalyst dosage were recorded.
