Abstract
Water contamination by harmful organic and inorganic compounds seriously burdens human health and aquatic life. A series of conventional water purification methods can be employed, yet they come with certain disadvantages, including resulting sludge or solid waste, incomplete treatment process, and high costs. To overcome these limitations, attention has been drawn to nanotechnology for fabricating better-performing adsorbents for contaminant removal. In particular, magnetic nanostructures hold promise for water decontamination applications, benefiting from easy removal from aqueous solutions. In this respect, numerous researchers worldwide have reported incorporating magnetic particles into many composite materials. Therefore, this review aims to present the newest advancements in the field of magnetic composites for water decontamination, describing the appealing properties of a series of base materials and including the results of the most recent studies. In more detail, carbon-, polymer-, hydrogel-, aerogel-, silica-, clay-, biochar-, metal-organic framework-, and covalent organic framework-based magnetic composites are overviewed, which have displayed promising adsorption capacity for industrial pollutants.

Abstract
In this work, we report an environmentally friendly renewable nanocomposite magnetic lignin-based palladium nanoparticles (Fe3O4-lignin@Pd-NPs) for efficient wastewater treatment by decorating palladium nanoparticles without using any toxic reducing agents on the magnetic lignin abstracted from Poplar. The structure of composite Fe3O4-lignin@Pd-NPs was unambiguously confirmed by XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, FTIR, and Zeta potential. After systematic evaluation of the use and efficiency of the composite to remove toxic organic dyes in wastewater, some promising results were observed as follows: Fe3O4-lignin@Pd-NPs exhibits highly active and efficient performance in the removal of toxic methylene blue (MB) (up to 99.8 %) wastewater in 2 min at different concentrations of MB and different pH values. Moreover, except for toxic MB, the other organic dyes including Rhodamine B (RhB), Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G), and Methyl Orange (MO) can also be removed efficiently by the composite. Finally, the easily recovered composite Fe3O4-lignin@Pd-NPs exhibits well stability and reusability, and catalytic efficiency is maintained well after ten cycles. In conclusion, the lignin-based magnetism Pd composite exhibits powerful potential practical application in industrial wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this study, a porous polyamine lignin microsphere (PPALM) was prepared through the inverse suspension polymerization combined with freeze-drying, during which sodium lignosulfonate and polyetheramine (PEA) were crosslinked with epichlorohydrin (ECH) as the cross-linker. By adjusting the amount of ECH and PEA, the optimized PPALM exhibited suitable crosslinking degree, ensuring a balance of framework flexibility and rigidity, thereby facilitating the formation of abundant and fine pores. PPALM demonstrated good mechanical properties comparable to commercial sulfonated polystyrene cationic resin, with a porosity of 61.12 % and an average pore size of 283.51 nm. The saturation adsorption capacity of PPALM for Pb2+ was measured to be 156.82 mg/g, and it remained above 120 mg/g after five cycles of regeneration. Particularly, the concentration of 50 mg/L Pb2+ solution could be reduced to 0.98 mg/L after flowing through the PPALM packed bed, indicating the great potential of PPALM for application in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The issue of mercury pollution in environmental remediation has garnered significant attention due to its severe health hazards to humans. Various strategies have been devised to mitigate the impact of toxic mercury ions, including coagulation, ion exchange, adsorption, membrane technology, and electrochemical treatment. Among these approaches, adsorption has emerged as an efficient and widely employed method for the uptake of low concentrations of mercury ions. It offers convenient operation, high removal efficiency, and facile regeneration of the adsorbent. Wood, being the most abundant renewable and sustainable bioresource, has garnered attention as a promising material for treating heavy metal wastewater. This is attributed to its unique physical and chemical characteristics, encompassing hierarchical pores, aligned channels, active functional groups, biodegradability, and cost-effectiveness. However, a comprehensive examination of the cutting-edge applications of wood and wood-derived biopolymers in the detection and removal of mercury ions from wastewater has yet to be undertaken. Consequently, this article presents a chronological overview of recent advancements in materials and structures derived from bulk wood and its constituents, including cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, and tannin, with a specific focus on their utility in detecting and eliminating mercury from water sources. Subsequently, the most promising techniques and strategies involving wood and wood-derived biopolymers in addressing the predicament of mercury pollution are explored. Furthermore, this piece offers insights into the existing challenges and future prospects concerning environmentally friendly materials derived from wood, aiming to foster the development of cost-effective mercury adsorbents and detection devices.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 330:121681. [PMID: 37087086 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
The effective removal of tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) from water is of great significance and remains a big challenge. In this work, a novel magnetized biochar (magnetic functionalized carbon microsphere, MF-CMS) was prepared by the coupling hydrothermal carbonization and pyrolysis activation of starch-rich rice waste using ZnCl2 and FeCl3 as activators. As the MF-CMS dose was 2.0 g/L, the initial concentration of TCs was 100 mg/L, the removal rates of tetracycline, doxycycline, oxytetracycline, and chlortetracycline were 96.02%, 96.10%, 96.52%, and 85.88%, respectively. The best modeled on pseudo second order, Langmuir adsorption model, and intraparticle diffusion kinetic models suggested that both chemisorption and physisorption occurred in all removal processes, in which chemisorption dominated. TCs were efficiently adsorbed through the combined effects of pore filling, electrostatic attraction, π-π interactions, and complexation reactions of surface functional groups (such as γ-Fe2O3 and FeOOH). The removal rates of TCs after five cycles approximately decreased by 20%. And the cycling and metal ion release experiments of MF-CMS indicated that MF-CMS had good reusability, stability, and safety. The estimated cost of preparing MF-CMS is 5.91 USD per kg, and 1 kg of MF-CMS (consuming 8 kg of waste rice) can approximately treat 0.55 tons of TCs wastewater. Overall, the magnetic biochar derived from starch-rich rice waste as an adsorbent has promising and effective for the removal of TCs from water, but also provides a new idea for the resourceful treatment of solid waste.

Abstract
In this work, a class of bio-based hydrogels (LN-NH-SA hydrogel) were prepared from aminated lignin and sodium alginate. The physical and chemical properties of the LN-NH-SA hydrogel were fully characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, and other techniques. LN-NH-SA hydrogels were tested for the adsorption of dyes (methyl orange and methylene blue). The LN-NH-SA@3 hydrogel showed better adsorption efficiency for MB with a maximum adsorption capacity of 388.81 mg·g-1, a bio-based adsorbent with a high adsorption capacity. The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order model and fitted to the Freundlich isotherm equation. More importantly, LN-NH-SA@3 hydrogel maintained 87.64 % adsorption efficiency after 5 cycles. Overall, the proposed hydrogel with environmentally friendly and low cost is promising for the absorption of dye contamination.

Abstract
Among the most abundant biopolymers in the biosphere, lignin is a renewable aromatic compound that represents an untapped opportunity to create new biological products. However, the complex interlacing structures of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, as well as the unique properties of lignin, limit the utilization of value-added lignin. Lignin-based nanomaterials open the door for lignin applications in environmental pollutant remediation, biofuel production, biomedicine, and other fields. Herein, we present various factors influencing the formation of micro-nanospheres by self-assembly techniques through a review of previous literature, and emphasize the simple and green synthesis of lignin micro/nanospheres (LMNPs) under non-modified conditions. More importantly, we discuss the mechanism of the formation of nanospheres. Considering the heterogeneity of lignin and the polarity of different solvents, we propose that self-assembly techniques should focus more on the influence brought by lignin itself or the solvent, so that the external conditions can be controlled to prepare LMNPs, which can be used in specific fields. A brief overview of the contribution of lignin-based nanomaterials in various fields is also presented. This review could provide insight for the development of lignin-based nanomaterials.

Cellulose-based bio-adsorbent from TEMPO-oxidized natural loofah for effective removal of Pb(II) and methylene blue. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 218:285-294. [PMID: 35870625 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.07.130] [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: 06/21/2022] [Revised: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 07/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Excessive discharge of inorganic and organic contaminants in water poses a serious threat to the ecosystems. However, most synthetic adsorbents lack cost-effectiveness in terms of preparation. Interestingly, loofah sponge (LS) was a natural absorbent that could effectively remove pollutions in wastewater, but its adsorption capacity is barely satisfactory. Herein, we present a novel strategy of TEMPO-oxidized loofah sponge (TOLS) to boost the adsorption performance of LS. The batch experiments demonstrated that the maximum removal capacity of TOLS for Pb(II) and methylene blue (MB) was 96.6 mg/g and 10.0 mg/g, respectively, which were 3.5 and 1.3 times that of pristine LS. Notably, the continuous-flow reaction testing of the mixed solution revealed that the elimination rate of Pb(II) and MB was still better than 90 % even after 16 h. Such excellent performance was benefit from the enhanced specific surface area and surface carboxyl content of TOLS. This work offers new insights into the rational development of multifunctional and inexpensive cellulose-based bio-adsorbents for wastewater remediation.

Abstract
With the continuous research on lignin-based sorbents, there are still limitations in the research of spherical sorbents with a high adsorption capacity for Pb2+. In order to solve the problem of low adsorption effect, alkali lignin (AL) was modified and assembled to increase the adsorption active sites. In this work, we used dual-modified lignin (DML) as a raw material to assemble a singular lignin-based multilayer microsphere (LMM) with sodium alginate (SA) and dopamine. The prepared adsorbent had various active functional groups and spherical structures; the specific surface area was 2.14 m2/g and the average pore size was 8.32 nm. The adsorption process followed the Freundlich isotherm and the second-order kinetic model. Therefore, the LMM adsorbed Pb2+ ascribed by the electrostatic attraction and surface complexation; the adsorption capacity was 250 mg/g. The LMM showed a selective adsorption performance for Pb2+ and the adsorption capacity followed the order Pb2+ (187.4 mg/g) > Cu2+(168.0 mg/g) > Mn2+(166.5 mg/g). After three cycles, the removal efficiency of Pb2+ by the LMM was 69.34%, indicating the reproducibility of LMM.

Abstract
Industrial metal ion pollution has been considered the chief source of water contaminants all over the world. In the present research, we have prepared gum tragacanth cross-linked 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-acrylamide (GT-cl-(HEMA-co-AAm)) hydrogel and gum tragacanth cross-linked 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-acrylamide/zinc oxide (GT-cl-(HEMA-co-AAm)/ZnO) hydrogel composite with better Hg2+ adsorption capability. GT-cl-(HEMA-co-AAm)/ZnO hydrogel composite (154.8 mg g-1) exhibited higher Hg2+ adsorption than GT-cl-(HEMA-co-AAm) hydrogel. To address the performance of GT-cl-(HEMA-co-AAm) hydrogel and GT-cl-(HEMA-co-AAm)/ZnO hydrogel composite, batch adsorption experiments were successfully conducted under different optimised conditions. At last, in-vitro antibacterial activities of Hg2+ loaded GT-cl-(HEMA-co-AAm) and GT-cl-(HEMA-co-AAm)/ZnO were performed in two different well Staphylococcus aureus (gram-positive) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (gram-negative) bacteria. As a positive control, ampicillin was employed against both types of bacteria. This methodology for the reusability of material has a great ecofriendly impression for minimising secondary waste derived from adsorption and can help design upgraded antibacterial agents.

Abstract
Recently, biochar-related phosphate sorbents have been extensively investigated and achieved significant progress; however, there is still much room for enhancement on capturing performance and recovery of powdery ones after sorption. Herein, a new kind of adsorbent, in which biochar/Mg-Al spinel encapsulated in carboxymethyl cellulose-La hydrogels with cationic polymeric layers, was fabricated, aiming for integrating multi-advantages of each component for enhanced phosphate capture. Batch static experiments were correlated to the phosphate adsorption performance of the adsorbent. The maximum phosphate adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was 89.65 mg P/g at pH = 3. The Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitted well with the adsorption behavior of the adsorbent. More importantly, this composite adsorbent that integrated with biochar, Mg-Al spinel, cationic polymeric components exhibited favorable selectivity over coexisting anions (Cl-, SO42-, HCO3- and NO3-) and performed good reusability after five consecutive cycles. By virtue of the bead-like feature, fixed-bed column experiments demonstrated that the Thomas model fitted the breakthrough curves well under varied experimental conditions. The adsorption mechanism of phosphate on the designed composite adsorbent with multi-components could be described as the electrostatic attraction, ligand exchange and inner-sphere complexation, which might account for the efficient phosphate capturing performance.

Abstract
The effective and selective removal of heavy metal ions from sewage is a major challenge and is of great significance to the treatment and recovery of metal waste. Herein, a novel magnetic lignin-based adsorbent L@MNP was synthesized by a thiol-ene click reaction under ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation. Multiple characterization techniques, including Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), elemental analysis, vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), confirmed the formed nano-morphology and structure of L@MNP. The effects of pH, contact time, initial metal concentration and temperature on the batch adsorption of Pb(ii) by L@MNP were investigated. Due to the existence of sulfur and oxygen-containing sites, the maximum adsorption capacity of L@MNP for Pb(ii) could reach 97.38 mg g-1, while the adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 30 min. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms were well described by the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model, respectively, suggesting a chemical and monolayer adsorption process. In addition, L@MNP showed a high adsorption selectivity (k Pb = 0.903) toward Pb(ii) in the presence of other co-existing metal ions. The experimental results also revealed that L@MNP displayed structural stability, ease of recovery under an external magnetic field, and acceptable recyclability after the fifth cycle. Considering its facile preparation, low cost and high adsorption efficiency, the developed L@MNP adsorbent demonstrated great potential in removing heavy metal ions from wastewater.

Abstract
The present work demonstrates the development of hydroxyapatite (HA)/gold (Au) nanocomposites to increase the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) dye from the wastewater. HA nanopowder was prepared via a wet chemical precipitation method by means of Ca(OH)2 and H3PO4 as starting materials. The biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been reported for the first time by using the plant extract of Acrocarpus fraxinifolius. Finally, the as-prepared HA nanopowder was mixed with an optimized AuNPs solution to produce HA/Au nanocomposite. The prepared HA/Au nanocomposite was studied by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX) analysis. Adsorption studies were executed by batch experiments on the synthesized composite. The effect of the amount of adsorbent, pH, dye concentration and temperature was studied. Pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models were used to fit the kinetic data and the kinetic modeling results reflected that the experimental data is perfectly matched with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The dye adsorbed waste materials have also been investigated against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Micrococcus luteus, and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria by the agar well diffusion method. The inhibition zones of dye adsorbed samples are more or less the same as compared to as-prepared samples. The results so obtained indicates the suitability of the synthesized sample to be exploited as an adsorbent for effective treatment of MB dye from wastewater and dye adsorbed waste as an effective antibacterial agent from an economic point of view.

Abstract
A novel adsorbent with high adsorption capacity to remove cationic dyes was synthesized. Sodium 4-styrene sulfonate (SSS) was grafted polymerization on the surface of magnetic chitosan microspheres via -NH2/S2O82- surface initiating system, obtaining MCS-g-PSSS microspheres. The grafted microsphere was characterized by Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, vibration sample magnetometer and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller. Cationic dyes were adsorbed by MCS-g-PSSS and methylene blue(MB) was acted as a typical example. The adsorption performance was explored by varying experimental conditions. The results showed the maximal adsorption capacity was 989 mg/g at pH 1 at 25 °C. The pseudo-second order model was found to be applicable for the adsorption kinetics. The adsorption capacity increased with rising temperature and it decreased owing to adding of ions. The adsorption isotherms were the best fitted by Langmuir. MCS-g-PSSS for MB showed high adsorption capacity due to the strong electrostatic interactions and π-π stacking, which was explained by FTIR and XPS and was verified by DFT calculations. The degree of adsorption spontaneity increased with rising the temperature. The grafted MCS-g-PSSS microspheres had high adsorption capacity for various kinds of cationic dyes and excellent for remove MB in the aqueous solution.

Novel fluorescent lignin-based hydrogel with cellulose nanofibers and carbon dots for highly efficient adsorption and detection of Cr(VI). THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 760:143395. [PMID: 33190900 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.143395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2020] [Revised: 10/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/27/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
A novel fluorescent lignin-based hydrogel with cellulose nanofibers and carbon dots (CDs) was synthesized for the high-value utilization of lignin and control of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)). Its chemical and physical structure was characterized, and its Cr(VI) sorption performance was evaluated. The results demonstrated that 3D porous structures were constructed in this hydrogel. The maximum adsorption capacity of this hydrogel was 599.9 mg/g, and its sorption performance met Freundlich and pseudo-second-order models. Meanwhile, this novel hydrogel exhibited high sensitivity to Cr(VI), with a limit of detection of 11.2 mg/L and a wide linear range from 15 to 200 mg/L. Moreover, its mechanism for efficiently adsorbing and detecting Cr(VI) was analyzed. The results confirmed that the efficient adsorption and detection were due to these 3D porous structures generated by the lignin and cellulose nanofibers modified with CDs. The porous structures provided many active sites and ion transport channels, thereby improving the adsorption, and stabilized the fluorescence signal, thus enhancing the detection.

Abstract
The supply of affordable drinking and sufficiently clean water for human consumption is one of the world's foremost environmental problems and a large number of scientific research works are addressing this issue Various hazardous/toxic environmental contaminants in water bodies, both inorganic and organic (specifically heavy metals and dyes), have become a serious global problem. Nowadays, extensive efforts have been made to search for novel, cost effective and practical biosorbents derived from biomass resources with special attention to value added, biomass-based renewable materials. Lignin and (nano)material adorned lignin derived entities can proficiently and cost effectively remove organic/inorganic contaminants from aqueous media. As low cost of preparation is crucial for their wide applications in water/wastewater treatment (particularly industrial water), future investigations must be devoted to refining and processing the economic viability of low cost, green lignin-derived (nano)materials. Production of functionalized lignin, lignin supported metal/metal oxide nanocomposites or hydrogels is one of the effective approaches in (nano)technology. This review outlines recent research progresses, trends/challenges and future prospects about lignin-derived (nano)materials and their sustainable applications in wastewater treatment/purification, specifically focusing on adsorption and/or catalytic reduction/(photo)degradation of a variety of pollutants.

Abstract
Cellulose hydrogels are considered useful biocompatible and biodegradable materials. However, as few cellulose-dissolving solvents can be used to prepare cellulose hydrogel microspheres, the use of unmodified cellulose-based hydrogel microspheres for enzyme immobilization remains limited. Here, we prepared cellulose/Fe2O3 hydrogel microspheres as enzyme supports through sol-gel transition using a solvent-in-oil emulsion. Cellulose-dissolving solvents including 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ([Emim][Ac]), an aqueous mixture of NaOH and thiourea, tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, and tetrabutylphosphonium hydroxide were used to prepare regular shaped cellulose/Fe2O3 microspheres. The solvent affected microsphere characteristics like crystallinity, hydrophobicity, surface morphology, size distribution, and swelling properties. The immobilization efficiency of the microspheres for lipase was also significantly influenced by the type of cellulose solvent used. In particular, the lipase immobilized on cellulose/Fe2O3 microspheres prepared using [Emim][Ac] showed the highest protein loading, and its specific activity was 3.1-fold higher than that of free lipase. The immobilized lipase could be simply recovered by a magnet and continuously reused.

Abstract
Due to the wonderful property of hydrogels, they can provide a platform for a wide range of applications. Recently, there is a growing research interest in the development of potential hydrogel adsorbents in wastewater treatment due to their adsorption ability toward aqueous pollutants. It is important to prepare such a hydrogel that possesses appropriate robustness, adsorption capacity, and adsorption efficiency to meet the need of water treatment. In order to improve the property of hydrogels, much effort has been made by researchers to modify hydrogels, among which incorporating inorganic components into the polymeric networks is the most common method, which can reduce the product cost and simplify the preparation procedure. Not only can hydrogel be applied as adsorbent, but it also can be used as matrix for catalyst immobilization. In this review, the key advancement on the preparation and modification of hydrogels is discussed, with special emphasis on the introduction of inorganic materials into polymeric networks and consequential changes in the properties of mechanical strength, swelling, and adsorption. Besides, hydrogels used as adsorbents for removal of dyes and inorganic pollutants have been widely explored, but their use for adsorbing emerging contaminants from aqueous solution has not received much attention. Thus, this review is mainly focused on hydrogels' application in removing emerging contaminants by adsorption. Furthermore, hydrogels can be also applied in immobilizing catalysts, such as enzyme and photocatalyst, to remove pollutants completely and avoid secondary pollution, so their progress as catalyst matrix is overviewed.

Abstract
Mercury is a toxic metal, thus, it is an element which has more and more restrictions in its uses, but despite the above, the removal of this metal, from whatever the form in which it is encountered (zero valent metal, inorganic, or organic compounds), and from different sources, is of a widespread interest. In the case of Hg(II), or Hg2+, the investigations about the treatment of Hg(II)-bearing liquid effluents (real or in most cases synthetic solutions) appear not to end, and from the various separation technologies, adsorption is the most popular among researchers. In this topic, and in the 2019 year, more than 100 publications had been devoted to this field: Hg(II)-removal-adsorption. This work examined all of them.
