Nassar HF, Mohamed MA. Removal of arsenic(V) using pure zeolite (PZ) and activated dithizone zeolite (ADZ) from aqueous liquids: application to green analytical chemistry. ANAL SCI 2024; 40:755-763. [PMID: 38379121 PMCID: PMC10961271 DOI: 10.1007/s44211-024-00509-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
The primary aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the efficiency of pure zeolite and activated dithizone zeolite for arsenic(V) removal from aqueous solutions. The analytical eco-scale and analytical greenness for sample preparation results confirm that the proposed method is environmentally friendly. Zeolite adsorbents were characterized and tested for their ability to adsorb arsenic(V) from wastewater. Our study delved into arsenic(V) sorption behavior on pristine and activated zeolites. Through steady-state experiments using pure zeolite and activated dithizone zeolite, we examined the sorption of arsenic from aqueous solutions. We optimized operational parameters, including pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and arsenic(V) concentration. Our findings revealed that the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isothermal models were highly influential in fitting the experimental data, resulting in statistically significant outcomes. This study highlights the potential of zeolites as outstanding adsorbents for removing arsenic(V) from aqueous solutions. The calculated maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of pure zeolite and activated dithizone zeolite was 18.2 and 21.1(mg/g), respectively, with R2 = 0.999. According to Freundlich's linear model, the experimental isothermal data indicated that activated dithizone zeolite has a higher value of kf constant and a lower value of the 1/n constant than that obtained for pure zeolite. These results imply favorable adsorption of arsenic(V) on activated dithizone zeolite.

In situ synthesis of magnesium-doped hydroxyapatite aerogel for highly efficient U(VI) separation with ultra high adsorption capacity and excellent recyclability. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 312:137226. [PMID: 36372341 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.137226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Mg-doped HAP aerogel (MHAPA) was firstly in situ prepared via freeze-drying-calcination technology to capture U(VI). The U(VI) removal capacity by MHAPA even arrived 2685.6 mg g-1, which was about 2 times over purchased HAP, illustrating that the incorporation of Mg ions could greatly enhance the U(VI) removal capacity. Compared with HAP, MHAPA also showed better anti-ion interference ability and dynamic removal performances. In comparison with other HAP-based adsorbents, MHAPA possessed good recyclability and its desorption rate was up to 93.4% in the first cycle. The excellent U(VI) removal performances of MHAPA might be owing to its low crystallinity and grain size, fast ion exchange rate and partial ionization under acidic conditions, which would accelerate the process of electrostatic attraction, ion-exchange, and complexation to immobilize U(VI). To sum up, the prepared MHAPA was expected to be an environmentally friendly, recyclable and effective adsorbent to immobilize U(VI) in actual wastewater.

Abstract
An environment-friendly, low-cost and efficient kaolin aerogel adsorbent (named as KLA) was synthesized via a freeze-drying-calcination method to solve the defect of low uranium removal rate for kaolin (KL). The removal rate of uranium on KLA reached 90.6 %, which was much higher than that of KL (69.2 %) (C0 = 10 mg L-1, t = 24 h, pH = 5.0, T = 298 K and m/V = 1.0 g L-1). The uranium removal behavior on KLA was satisfied with Pseudo-second-order and Langmuir model, which meant that the uranium ions were immobilized on the surface of KLA via chemical reaction. Meanwhile, high temperature was in favor of the removal of uranium on KLA, indicating that the removal process was a spontaneous endothermic reaction. Compared with KL, KLA also presented better cycle ability and its removal rate of uranium was up to 80.5 % after three cycles, which was still higher than that of KL at the first cycle (74.5 %). On basis of the results of SEM, XRD, FT-IR and XPS, it could be concluded that uranium ions were adsorbed by KLA via complexation. Hence, KLA could be regarded as a feasible candidate for the removal of uranium from aqueous solution.

Abstract
The use of iron species to remove PO43- is widely used, and the fresh Fe3+ produced in situ demonstrate better effect on the removal of PO43- in many researches. Therefore, in order to develop a simpler and more efficient method for PO43- removal, we designed an easy operation by electrochemically dissolving siderite to produce fresh Fe3+ in situ for PO43- removal from wastewater. Results showed that current intensity at 20 mA, initial pH at 6, initial PO43- concentration at 1 mM and influent flow rate at 2.5 mL min-1 were the best parameters for removing PO43-, ensuring that the PO43- concentration of effluent can be kept below 1 mg L-1 through the electrochemical system. Different from other studies, a large amount of Fe2+ can be dissolved from natural minerals without adding H+ to the system and Fe3+ species are generated in situ from the oxidation of the Fe2+ without using a specific oxidizer. This electrochemical treatment method with siderite as a packed column can be used as a new method of high efficiency, simple operation and low-cost for treating eutrophic water bodies.

Abstract
The exponential increment in world population, recent industrialization, civilization, agricultural and household activities leads to greater levels of water pollution in terms of organic and inorganic contaminants. However, numerous workers have done research for the removal of these pollutants and various types of clays and/or modified clays have been extensively used for this purpose. But all identified adsorbent materials are not able to remove pollutants after certain concentration and sometimes these contaminants are left as such in environment which may create other environmental issues. This paper presents comprehensive information for the adsorption of heavy metal ions from water and waste water using various nanostructured adsorbents such as different clay minerals (kaolinite, montmorillonite) and clay (bentonite), carbon nanotube and nanocomposites. In addition to this, the efficiency of developed materials for the removal of heavy metals is also discussed in details along with comparison of their adsorption efficiencies, pH and change in specific surface area, initial metal ion concentration and contact time. This paper also states the future directions which could be followed to challenge the situation of removal of traces of heavy metals from water, hence protecting water bodies from high pollution load.
