Abstract
Chemical water pollution poses a threat to human beings and ecological systems. The purification of water to remove toxic organic and inorganic pollutants is essential for a safe society and a clean environment. Adsorption-based water treatment is considered one of the most effective and economic technologies designed to remove toxic substances. In this article, we review the recent progress in the field of nanostructured materials used for water purification, particularly those used for the adsorption of heavy metal ions and organic dyes. This review includes a range of nanostructured materials such as metal-based nanoparticles, polymer-based nanomaterials, carbon nanomaterials, bio-mass materials, and other types of nanostructured materials. Finally, the current challenges in the fields of adsorption of toxic materials using nanostructured materials are briefly discussed.

Abstract
In recent assassinations reported in London and Malaysia, nerve agents were used to cause death, by skin poisoning. Skin decontamination is the ultimate and most important defense against nerve agent poisoning, because no effective antidote currently exists. However, almost no existing material can achieve effective and rapid decontamination without irritating the skin. This study links proteins that exhibit no decontamination ability with polymers to form a nanocomposite. This creates a nanospace on the surface of the protein that attracts and traps organic molecules, effectively adsorbing the nerve agent Soman within several seconds, without irritating the skin. Analysis of the different components of proteins and polymers reveals that the decontamination efficiency is considerably affected by the thickness of the coated polymer. Moreover, the thickness of the layer is predominantly determined by the size and species of the core and the crosslinking method. Further in vivo experiments on rats poisoned with Soman verify the efficiency and safety of the nanocomposite. These results could be used to design and synthesize more multi-functional and effective decontamination materials.

Abstract
Background:
The huge quantity of wastewater, containing poisonous and hazardous dyes,
is released by various industries which pollute water in direct and indirect ways. Most of the dyes are
a dangerous class of water contaminants which have affected the environment drastically. Some dyes
such as congo red, rhodamine B, methylene blue, methyl violet, and crystal violet are a serious threat
to human beings.
Remediation Method:
Numerous methods are available for the removal of dyes from water.
Adsorption, being a superior and eco-friendly technique, has advantage of eliminating organic dyes
because of the availability of materials as adsorbents. The inexpensive nanomaterials are a more attractive
choice for remediation of various dyes due to their unique properties and offer an adequate
pathway to adsorb any organic dye from water to overcome its hazardous effects on human health.
Results:
In this review, we have discussed the latest literature related to various types of synthesis,
characterization and uses as adsorbent for highly adsorptive removal capacity of nanoparticles for organic
dyes.
Conclusion:
Adsorption technology provides an attractive pathway for further research and improvement
in more efficient nanoparticles, with higher adsorption capacity, for numerous dyes to
eliminate the dyes discharged from various industries and thus reduce the contamination of water.
Therefore, nanocomposites may contribute to future prospective water treatment process.

Abstract
Dye pollution is a serious problem in modern society. We desired to develop an efficient adsorbent for the decontamination of discharged dyes. In this work, the polymeric microspheres derived from a kind of amphiphilic block of co-poly(arylene ether nitrile) (B-b-S-P) were prepared on the basis of “oil-in-water” (O/W) microemulsion method. The B-b-S-P microspheres were found competent to remove the cationic dye, methylene blue (MB); and various influential factors, such as contact time, initial concentration, solution pH and temperature were investigated. Results indicated that the maximum adsorption capacity of B-b-S-P microspheres for MB was 119.84 mg/g at 25 °C in neutral conditions. Adsorption kinetics and isotherm dates were well fitted to a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model, and thermodynamic parameters implied that the adsorption process was endothermic. The B-b-S-P microspheres also exhibited a highly selective adsorption for cationic dye MB, even in the presence of anionic dye methyl orange (MO). In addition, the possible adsorption mechanism was studied, suggesting that the electrostatic interaction and π–π interaction could be the main force in the adsorption process.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) layer-structured titanium carbide MXenes (e.g., 2D Ti3C2 MXene) have received tremendous attention owing to their excellent properties and unique 2D planar topology. Nevertheless, there are still several challenges to be addressed for well dispersibility and easy separation from a heterogeneous system, hindering the practical applications. Herein, 2D Ti3C2 MXene, as the most typical member of 2D MXenes, is functionalized with magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles via an in situ growth approach (designated as MXene@Fe3O4), which exhibits the intriguing phenomenon on methylene blue (MB) adsorption in the environmental remediation realm. The maximum adsorption capacity of the MXene@Fe3O4 composites for MB is calculated to be 11.68 mg·g-1 by a Langmuir isotherm model. A thermodynamic study of the adsorption demonstrates that the reaction process is exothermic and entropy-driven. Attractively, the removal process is a pH-independent process, and the optimal MB adsorption capacity is achieved at pH = 3 or 11, which is ascribed to electrostatic interactions and the hydrogen bond effect. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculation results reveal that the adsorption process is based on a combination of Ti-OH···N bonding, electrostatic attraction, and reductivity. Furthermore, multiple cycle runs demonstrate an excellent stability and reusability of MXene@Fe3O4 composites. This study provides a promising approach for the alternative removal of MB and broadens the potential application of 2D MXene for the treatment of practical acidic or alkaline wastewater.
