Al-Wasidi AS, Hegazey RM, Abdelrahman EA. Efficient Removal of Methylene Blue Dye from Aqueous Media Using Facilely Synthesized Magnesium Borate/Magnesium Oxide Nanostructures. Molecules 2024; 29:3392. [PMID: 39064970 PMCID: PMC11279817 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29143392] [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: 06/07/2024] [Revised: 07/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Methylene blue dye in water sources can pose health risks to humans, potentially causing methemoglobinemia, a condition that impairs the blood's ability to carry oxygen. Hence, the current study investigates the synthesis of novel magnesium borate/magnesium oxide (Mg3B2O6/MgO) nanostructures and their efficiency in removing methylene blue dye from aqueous media. The nanostructures were synthesized using the Pechini sol-gel method, which involves a reaction between magnesium nitrate hexahydrate and boric acid, with citric acid acting as a chelating agent and ethylene glycol as a crosslinker. This method helps in achieving a homogeneous mixture, which, upon calcination at 600 and 800 °C, yields Mg3B2O6/MgO novel nanostructures referred to as MB600 and MB800, respectively. The characterization of these nanostructures involved techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, N2 gas analyzer, and field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). These analyses confirmed the formation of orthorhombic Mg3B2O6 and cubic MgO phases with distinct features, influenced by the calcination temperature. The mean crystal size of the MB600 and MB800 samples was 64.57 and 79.20 nm, respectively. In addition, the BET surface area of the MB600 and MB800 samples was 74.63 and 64.82 m2/g, respectively. The results indicated that the MB600 sample, with its higher surface area, generally demonstrated better methylene blue dye removal performance (505.05 mg/g) than the MB800 sample (483.09 mg/g). The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order model, indicating dependency on available adsorption sites. Also, the adsorption process matched well with the Langmuir isotherm, confirming a homogeneous adsorbent surface. The thermodynamic parameters revealed that the adsorption process was physical, exothermic, and spontaneous. The MB600 and MB800 nanostructures could be effectively regenerated using 6 M HCl and reused across multiple cycles. These findings underscore the potential of these nanostructures as cost-effective and sustainable adsorbents for methylene blue dye removal.

Abstract
In this study, sodium alginate/chitosan/halloysite nanotube composites were prepared by three-dimensional printing and characterized in terms of morphology, viscosity, thermal properties, and methylene blue (MB) adsorption performance. The high specific surface area and extensively microporous structure of these composites allowed for effective MB removal from wastewater; specifically, a removal efficiency of 80% was obtained after a 60 min treatment at an adsorbent loading of 1 g L-1 and an MB concentration of 80 mg L-1, while the maximum MB adsorption capacity equaled 376.3 mg g-1. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms were well described by quasi-second-order and Langmuir models, respectively. The composites largely retained their adsorption performance after five adsorption-desorption cycles and were concluded to hold great promise for MB removal from wastewater.

Abstract
In response to the increasing global concern regarding water pollution, there is a growing demand for the development of novel adsorbents capable of effectively eliminating hazardous organic pollutants from effluents. In this study, we present a functional soy protein isolate (SPI)/sodium alginate (ALG)/polyethyleneimine (PEI) aerogel prepared via a facile chemical crosslinking process as a novel adsorbent with excellent capabilities for removing toxic methyl blue (MB) dye from effluents. Thanks to the synergistic dense oxygen and nitrogen-containing functional groups in the networks, the ALG/SPI/PEI (ASP) aerogel displayed high adsorption capacity for MB (106.3 mg/g) complying the adsorption kinetics and isotherm with the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models, respectively. Remarkably, the MB adsorption capability of the ASP aerogel surpasses that of its pristine counterpart and outperforms recently reported adsorbents. Moreover, the aerogel maintained >80% of initial adsorption capability in the fourth regenerative cycle, indicating excellent reusability. The superior MB adsorbability coupled with high-efficiency regenerability in this study reveal the significant potential of ASP aerogel in efficiently eliminating organic dye from wastewater.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 466:133595.

Abstract
In this study, an innovative approach utilizing betaine as a raw material was employed to effectively modify the surface of chitosan with quaternary ammonium groups. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) characterization showed that the quaternary ammonium groups on betaine were successfully loaded on the chitosan surface. The effects of dosage, pH, initial perchlorate concentration, temperature and co-existing anions on the removal efficiency of perchlorate were investigated. The saturated adsorption capacity of CGQS was 35.41 mg/g under natural condition. The impact of initial perchlorate concentrations and column flow rates on the column adsorption experiments were investigated, as well as natural water tests. Sterilizing performance experiments of CGQS were carried out innovatively. Under the condition of initial concentration of 0.5 mg/L, 9 BV/h (bed volume per hour), the effluent natural water was up to standard (≤0.07 mg/L) with a treatment capacity of 210 BV/g, and the sterilizing rate of CGQS was up to 97.02%. The proposed adsorption mechanisms involved surface pore adsorption, electrostatic adsorption of quaternary ammonium groups, and ion exchange between chloride and perchlorate ions. The CGQS prepared in this work had great potential for treating trace perchlorate contamination in natural water.

Abstract
To evaluate the adsorption mechanism and performance of phosphate onto the composite of low-cost biochar and iron oxide, four biochar-iron oxides, namely biochar-magnetite (BC-M), biochar-ferrihydrite (BC-F), biochar-goethite (BC-G), and biochar-hematite (BC-H), were prepared by fabricating iron oxide to porous biochar. The biochar-iron oxides had huge surface areas of 691-864 m2/g and average pore diameters of 3.4-4.0 nm. Based on the characterization analysis of FTIR, XRD, XPS, and zeta potential, the interactions of electrostatic attraction, ligand exchange, and deposition dominated the phosphate adsorption onto biochar-iron oxides. The maximum adsorption capacity of phosphate followed the order of BC-G > BC-F > BC-H > BC-M. The isotherm data of BC-M and BC-H were well fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich models, while those of BC-G and BC-F followed the Langmuir model. In addition, BC-M, BC-F, BC-G, and BC-H owned excellent regeneration ability and adsorption performance in practical (simulated) wastewater environment. Then the biochar-iron oxides exerted extensive and satisfactory prospect in wastewater remediation and recycling application in soil.

Abstract
Band structure and component content are the key factors for determining the activity of semiconductor heterojunction. In this study, a novel Bi5O7I/BiOBrxI1-x heterostructure was synthesized by a simple hydrobromic (HBr) acid etching method through transforming partial of Bi5O7I to I- ion doped BiOBr (BiOBrxI1-x) at room temperature without adding extra dopant. Both the band structure and component content of Bi5O7I/BiOBrxI1-x alter with the additive HBr acid. The Bi5O7I/BiOBrxI1-x (S3.0) sample exhibits the best photocatalytic activity, 6 times higher than that of pure Bi5O7I, for the degradation of methyl orange under visible-light (λ > 420 nm). The activity enhancement of Bi5O7I/BiOBrxI1-x is primarily ascribed to the improved separation efficiency of photocharges, originated from the adjustable band structure and component content. The significant findings of this paper provide a facile way to construct highly efficient semiconductor heterojunction via playing the synergetic effect of adjustable band structure and component content for purifying organic pollutants in wastewater.
