JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 366:121872. [PMID: 39018848 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121872] [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: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
Numerous antibiotics are being released into the natural environment through wastewater. As antibiotic usage increases annually, its detrimental impact on the environment is escalating. Addressing environmental sustainability and human health requires significant attention towards antibiotic removal. In recent years, magnetic biochar (MBC) has gained widespread application in water treatment due to its exceptional adsorption and catalytic degradation capabilities. Antibiotics such as sulfamethoxazole (SMX), tetracycline (TC), ciprofloxacin (CIP), and others commonly exhibit an adsorption capacity by MBC ranging from 5 mg/g to 900 mg/g. Moreover, MBC typically removes over 90% of these antibiotics within 60 min. The effectiveness of antibiotic removal is significantly influenced by various preparation and modification methods. Furthermore, the incorporation of magnetism enables the material to be recycled and reused multiple times, thereby reducing consumption costs. This article discusses recent studies on antibiotic removal using MBC. It has been observed that variations in the selection of raw material and preparation procedures significantly affect antibiotic removal, while the mechanisms involved in antibiotic removal remain ambiguous. Additionally, it has been noted that the removal process may lead to secondary pollution and high preparation costs. Therefore, this review comprehensively outlines the utilization of MBC in the removal of antibiotics from wastewater, including aspects such as modification, preparation, removal mechanism, and factors influencing removal, and providing recommendations for antibiotic development. The aim is to offer researchers a clear understanding to advance the field of MBC materials.

Abstract
Magnetic biochar (MBC) was obtained from pepper straw by impregnation-microwave pyrolysis method. The pyrolysis temperature and FeCl3 impregnation concentration were investigated on the structural properties of MBC and the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) in water. Characterization results showed that pyrolysis temperature and iron species significantly increased the specific surface area of MBC, which could reach the maximum of 2038.61 m2/g, and also provided more active adsorption sites by promoting the generation of graphitized structures and surface polar functional groups. MBC0.2-900 was selected as the adsorbent for MO with the maximum adsorption capacity reached 437.18 mg·g-1, 3.4 times higher than the virgin biochar. The adsorption process was dominated by chemisorption as well as spontaneous and exothermic. The adsorption mechanisms included pore-filling interaction, π-π EDA interaction, electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding, and Lewis acid-base electron interaction. In addition, MBC also exhibited excellent separability and reusability as a low-cost adsorbent. This study provided some theoretical foundation and technological support for producing high-performance biochar and developing pollutant removal technology in wastewater.

Abstract
As an effort to tackle some of the most pressing ecological issues we are currently experiencing, there has been an increasing interest in employing biomass-derived char products in various disciplines. Thermal combustion of biomass results in biochar production, which is a remarkably rich source of carbon. Not only does the biochar obtained by the thermochemical breakdown of biomass lower the quantity of carbon released into the environment, but it also serves as an eco-friendly substitute for activated carbon (AC) and further carbon-containing products. An overview of using biochar to remove toxic pollutants is the main subject of this article. Several techniques for producing biochar have been explored. The most popular processes for producing biochar are hydrothermal carbonization, gasification and pyrolysis. Carbonaceous materials, alkali, acid and steam are all capable of altering biochar. Depending on the environmental domains of applications, several modification techniques are chosen. The current findings on characterization and potential applications of biochar are compiled in this survey. Comprehensive discussion is given on the fundamentals regarding the formation of biochar. Process variables influencing the yield of biochar have been summarized. Several biochars' adsorption capabilities for expulsion pollutants under various operating circumstances are compiled. In the domain of developing biochar, a few suggestions for future study have been given.

Abstract
In this study, magnetic coconut shell biochar loaded with spherical Fe3O4 and γ-Fe2O3 particles was successfully synthesized using a chemical coprecipitation method. The magnetic biochar exhibited a good magnetic separability and environmental security. The maximum sulfadiazine (SDZ) and norfloxacin (NOR) removal efficiencies were 94.8% and 92.3% at pH 4 and 25 °C with adsorbent dosage of 2.5 g/L, respectively. When antibiotic concentrations ranged from 5 to 50 mg/L, the theoretical maximum adsorption capacities of SDZ and NOR were 16.7 mg/g and 25.8 mg/g, respectively. The Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models could better describe the adsorption process of both antibiotics, implying the monolayer chemical adsorption. The thermodynamic analysis indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. The ionic strength had no significant effect on the adsorption behavior of either antibiotic. Combined with BET, FTIR, and XPS results, the dominant mechanisms for SDZ and NOR adsorption were pore filling, π-π electron-donor-acceptor interaction, hydrogen bonds and surface complexation. Moreover, Lewis acid-base interaction also contributed to SDZ adsorption.

Influence of different stalks on the metallization degree of FeCl 3-derived magnetic biochar through pyrolysis behavior and compositional differences. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 259:119513. [PMID: 38950815 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
To investigate the effect of stalk type on the metallization degrees in FeCl3-derived magnetic biochar (MBC), MBC was synthesized via an impregnation-pyrolysis method using six different stalks. The Fe0 content in MBC significantly influenced its magnetic properties and ostensibly governed its catalytic capabilities. Analysis of the interaction between stalks and FeCl3 revealed that the variation in metallization degrees, resulting from FeCl2 decomposition (6.1%) and stalk-mediated reduction (20.7%), was directly responsible for the observed differences in MBC metallization. The presence of oxygen-containing functional groups and fixed carbon appeared to promote metallization in MBC induced by reduction. A series of statistical analyses indicated that the cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose content of the stalks were key factors contributing to differences in MBC metallization degrees. Further exploration revealed that hemicellulose and cellulose were more effective than lignin in enhancing metallization through FeCl2 decomposition and reduction. Constructing stalk models demonstrated that the variance in the content of these three biomass components across the six stalk types could lead to differences in the metallization degree attributable to reduction and FeCl2 decomposition, thereby affecting the overall metallization degree of MBC. A prediction model for MBC metallization degree was developed based on these findings. Moreover, the elevated Si content in some stalks facilitated the formation of Fe2(SiO4), which subsequently impeded the reduction process. This study provides a theoretical foundation for the informed selection of stalk feedstocks in the production of FeCl3-derived MBC.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 931:172549. [PMID: 38643881 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172549] [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: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
Abstract
The excitation by magnetic field was established to mitigate the membrane fouling of magnetic biochar (MB)-supplemented membrane bioreactor (MBR) in this study. The results showed that the transmembrane pressure (TMP) increase rates decreased by about 8 % after introducing the magnetic field compared with the magnetic biochar-MBR (MB-MBR). Membrane characterization suggested that the flocs in the magnetic field-magnetic biochar-MBR (MF-MB-MBR) formed a highly permeable developed cake layer, and a fluffier and more porous deposited layer on membrane surface, which minimized fouling clogging of the membrane pores. Further mechanistic investigation revealed that the decrease in contact angle of fouled membrane surface in MF-MB-MBR, i.e. an enhanced membrane hydrophilicity, is considered important for forming highly permeable layers. Additionally, the magnetic field was demonstrated to have a positive effect on the improvement of the magneto-biological effect, the enhancement of charge neutralization and adsorption bridging between sludge and magnetic biochar, and the reduction of formation of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs), which all yielded sludge flocs with a large pore structure conducive to form a fluffy and porous deposited layer in the membrane surface. Furthermore, high-throughput sequencing analysis revealed that the magnetic field also led to a reduction in microbial diversity, and that it promoted the enrichment of specific functional microbial communities (e.g. Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes) playing an important role in mitigating membrane fouling. Taken together, this study of magnetic field-enhanced magnetic biochar for MBR membrane fouling mitigation provides insights important new ideas for more effective and sustainable operation strategies.

Abstract
The use of algae for value-added product and biorefining applications is enchanting attention among researchers in recent years due to its remarkable photosynthetic ability, adaptability, and capacity to accumulate lipids and carbohydrates. Algae biomass, based on its low manufacturing costs, is relatively renewable, sustainable, environmentally friendly and economical in comparison with other species. High production rate of algae provides a unique opportunity for its conversion to biochar with excellent physicochemical properties, viz. high surface area and pore volume, high adsorption capacity, abundant functional groups over surface, etc. Despite several potential algal-biochar, a detailed study on its application for removal of emerging contaminants from wastewater is limited. Therefore, this technical review is being carried out to evaluate the specific elimination of inorganic and organic pollutants from wastewater, with a view to assessing adsorption performances of biochar obtained from various algae species. Species-specific adsorption of emerging pollutants from wastewater have been discussed in the present review. The promising methods like pyrolysis, gasification, dry and wet torrefaction for the production of algae biochar are highlighted. The strategies include chemical and structural modifications of algae biochar for the removal of toxic contaminants have also been considered in the current work. The overall aim of this review is to confer about the synthesis, technological advancements, delineation and application of algae biochar for the treatment of wastewater.

Abstract
The unregulated release of chemical dyes into the environment presents considerable environmental hazards when left untreated. Photocatalytic degradation, acknowledged as an eco-friendly and cost-effective method, has garnered attention for its efficacy in eliminating organic pollutants like dye. Consequently, the development of multifunctional materials with different applications in environmental and catalytic fields emerges as a promising avenue. Recognizing the significance of integrating catalysts and porous materials for enhancing interactions between pollutants and photo-sensitive substances, magnetic hydrochar emerges as a solution offering heightened efficiency, scalability, recyclability, and broad applicability in various environmental processes, notably wastewater treatment, due to its facile separation capability. In this study, Fe3O4-based, super-paramagnetic hydrochar (SMHC) was simultaneously synthesized in a single step using a coconut shell in the subcritical water medium. A thorough analysis was conducted on both raw hydrochar (RHC) and SMHC to unravel the mechanism of interaction between Fe3O4 nanoparticles and the hydrochar matrix. The synthesized hydrochar exhibited super-paramagnetic characteristics, with a saturation magnetization of 23.7 emu/g and a magnetic hysteresis loop. SMHC displayed a BET surface area of 42.6 m2/g and an average pore size of 26.3 nm, indicating a mesoporous structure according to nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. XRD analysis revealed magnetic crystal sizes in the obtained SMHC to be 13.7 nm. The photocatalytic performance of SMHC was evaluated under visible light exposure in the presence of H2O2 for Astrazon yellow (AY) dye degradation, with optimization conducted using response surface methodology (RSM). The most substantial dye removal, reaching 92.83%, was achieved with 0.4% H2O2 at a 20 mg/L dye concentration and an 80-min reaction duration.

Abstract
Biochar has emerged as an efficacious green material for remediation of a wide spectrum of environmental pollutants. Biochar has excellent characteristics and can be used to reduce the bioavailability and leachability of emerging pollutants in soil through adsorption and other physico-chemical reactions. This paper systematically reviewed previous researches on application of biochar/engineered biochar for removal of soil contaminants, and underlying adsorption mechanism. Engineered biochar are derivatives of pristine biochar that are modified by various physico-chemical and biological procedures to improve their adsorption capacities for contaminants. This review will promote the possibility to expand the application of biochar for restoration of degraded lands in the industrial area or saline soil, and further increase the useable area. This review shows that application of biochar is a win-win strategy for recycling and utilization of waste biomass and environmental remediation. Application of biochar for remediation of contaminated soils may provide a new solution to the problem of soil pollution. However, these studies were performed mainly in a laboratory or a small scale, hence, further investigations are required to fill the research gaps and to check real-time applicability of engineered biochar on the industrial contaminated sites for its large-scale application.

Abstract
Antibiotics, widely used in the fields of medicine, animal husbandry, aquaculture, and agriculture, pose a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. To prevent antibiotic pollution, efforts have been made in recent years to explore alternative options for antibiotics in animal feed, but the effectiveness of these alternatives in replacing antibiotics is not thoroughly understood due to the variation from case to case. Furthermore, a systematic summary of the specific applications and limitations of antibiotic removal techniques in the environment is crucial for developing effective strategies to address antibiotic contamination. This comprehensive review summarized the current development and potential issues on different types of antibiotic substitutes, such as enzyme preparations, probiotics, and plant extracts. Meanwhile, the existing technologies for antibiotic residue removal were discussed under the scope of application and limitation. The present work aims to highlight the strategy of controlling antibiotics from the source and provide valuable insights for green and efficient antibiotic treatment.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an essential and extensively utilized chemical compound with significant environmental and public health risks. This review critically assesses the current water purification techniques for BPA removal, emphasizing the efficacy of adsorption technology. Within this context, we probe into the synthesis of magnetic biochar (MBC) using co-precipitation, hydrothermal carbonization, mechanical ball milling, and impregnation pyrolysis as widely applied techniques. Our analysis scrutinizes the strengths and drawbacks of these techniques, with pyrolytic temperature emerging as a critical variable influencing the physicochemical properties and performance of MBC. We explored various modification techniques including oxidation, acid and alkaline modifications, element doping, surface functional modification, nanomaterial loading, and biological alteration, to overcome the drawbacks of pristine MBC, which typically exhibits reduced adsorption performance due to its magnetic medium. These modifications enhance the physicochemical properties of MBC, enabling it to efficiently adsorb contaminants from water. MBC is efficient in the removal of BPA from water. Magnetite and maghemite iron oxides are commonly used in MBC production, with MBC demonstrating effective BPA removal fitting well with Freundlich and Langmuir models. Notably, the pseudo-second-order model accurately describes BPA removal kinetics. Key adsorption mechanisms include pore filling, electrostatic attraction, hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, π-π interactions, and electron transfer surface interactions. This review provides valuable insights into BPA removal from water using MBC and suggests future research directions for real-world water purification applications.

Abstract
Nowadays, super nitrogen-doped biochar (SNBC) material has become one of the most promising metal-free catalysts for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade organic pollutants. To understand the evolution of SNBC properties with fabrication conditions, a variety of SNBC materials were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, N2 adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. We systematically investigated the activation potential of these SNBC materials for PMS to degrade phenol. SN1BC-800 with the best catalytic performance was obtained by changing the activation temperatures and the ratio of biochar to melamine. The effects of catalyst dosage, the PMS concentration, pH, and reaction temperature on phenol degradation were studied in detail. In the presence of 0.3 g/L SN1BC-800 and 1 g/L PMS, the removal rate of 20 mg/L phenol could reach 100% within 5 min. According to electron paramagnetic resonance spectra and free radical quenching experiments, a nonfree radical pathway of phenol degradation dominated by 1O2 and electron transfer was proposed. More interestingly, the excellent catalytic performance of the SN1BC-800/PMS system is universally applicable in the degradation of other typical organic pollutants. In addition, the degradation rate of phenol is still over 80% after five reuses, which shows that the SN1BC-800 catalyst has high stability and good application prospects in environmental remediation.

Abstract
This paper presents a study on the application of magnetic biochars derived from three distinct biomass sources: almond (AMBC), walnut (WMBC), and peanut (PMBC) shells for magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) of naproxen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, from human saliva prior to LC-MS analysis. The three magnetic biochars were synthesized and characterized through IR, XRD, SEM, and EDX analyses. This work explored the factors influencing extraction efficiency using these three bioadsorbents through experimental design. The results obtained revealed that magnetic biochar derived from almond shells demonstrated outstanding performance in terms of naproxen extraction, achieving an impressive yield of 100.2%. This remarkable efficiency was achieved by optimizing parameters, including a 12-minute extraction time, a 3.5 mL elution volume, a 10 mg adsorbent mass, and a 4-minute elution time. Consequently, this study established almond shell as a low-cost, environmentally friendly, and efficient magnetic biochar for extracting naproxen from human saliva. This superior performance was made possible due to the abundant lignocellulosic potential inherent in almond shell structures, surpassing that of the other two biochars. The combination of magnetic extraction with LC-MS demonstrates good linearity, with an R2 value equal to 0.9987. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) are 0.013 and 0.047 μg L-1, respectively.

Abstract
The disposal of iron-rich sludge by landfill or incineration poses environmental risks and wastes resources. The utilization of iron-rich sludge for magnetic material preparation offers a sustainable and resource-efficient solution for its disposal. Herein, self-endowed magnetic photocatalysts were initially prepared by pyrolysis using iron-rich sludge without any additives. The photocatalysts performance were evaluated for tetracycline degradation, with the highest degradation rate of 95.3 % at a concentration of 10 mg·L-1 (pH = 7) within 5 h being achieved for the photocatalyst prepared at 800 °C. The reactive radical species in the photocatalysis process were confirmed to be •OH and O2•- activated by ferrous oxygen species under light irradiation. Furthermore, quinone-like structures induced bound persistent free radicals, which emerged as the predominant factors influencing 1O2 formation. The employed photocatalyst can be efficiently separated and recovered owing to its magnetism. This work presents an economic solution for antibiotic removal using waste iron-rich sludge.

Abstract
This study synthesized a highly efficient KOH-treated sunflower stem activated carbon (KOH-SSAC) using a two-step pyrolysis process and chemical activation using KOH. The resulting material exhibited exceptional properties, such as a high specific surface area (452 m2/g) and excellent adsorption capacities for phenol (333.03 mg/g) and bisphenol A (BPA) (365.81 mg/g). The adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic, benefiting from the synergistic effects of hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction, and stacking interactions. Comparative analysis also showed that KOH-SSAC performed approximately twice as well as sunflower stem biochar (SSB), indicating its potential for water treatment and pollutant removal applications. The study suggests the exploration of optimization strategies to further enhance the efficiency of KOH-SSAC in large-scale scenarios. These findings contribute to the development of improved materials for efficient water treatment and pollution control.

Abstract
Increasing organic pollution in soil and water has garnered considerable attention in recent years. Nano zero-valent iron-modified biochar (nZVI/BC) has been proven to remediate the contaminated environment effectively due to its abundant active sites and unique reducing properties. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the application of nZVI/BC in organic polluted environmental remediation and its mechanisms. Firstly, the review introduced primary synthetic methods of nZVI/BC, including in-situ synthesis (carbothermal reduction and green synthesis) and post-modification (liquid-phase reduction and ball milling). Secondly, the application effects of nZVI/BC were discussed in remediating soil and water polluted by antibiotics, pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and dyes. Thirdly, this review explored the mechanisms of the adsorption and chemical degradation of nZVI/BC, and synergistic degradation mechanisms of nZVI/BC-AOPs and nZVI/BC-Microbial interactions. Fourth, the factors that influence the removal of organic pollutants using nZVI/BC were summarized, encompassing synthesis conditions (raw materials, pyrolysis temperature and aging of nZVI/BC) and external factors (reagent dosage, pH, and coexisting substances). Finally, this review proposed future challenges for the application of nZVI/BC in environmental remediation. This review offers valuable insights for advancing technology in the degradation of organic pollutants using nZVI/BC and promoting its on-site application.

Abstract
Biochar promotes microbial metabolic activities and reduces N2O on aerobic composting. However, the effects of magnetic biochar (MBC) on the microbial succession and N2O emissions during pig manure composting remain unclear. Herein, a 42-day composting experiment was conducted with five treatment regimes: pig manure without biochar (CK), 5 % pig manure-based biochar (5 % PBC), 2 % MBC (2 % MBC), 5 % MBC (5 % MBC) and 7.5 % MBC (7.5 % MBC)), to clarify the variation in functional microorganisms and genes associated with nitrogen and direct interspecies electron transfer via metagenomics. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that MBC possessed more stable aromatic structures than pig manure-based biochar (PBC), indicating its greater potential for nitrous oxide reduction. MBC treatments were more effective in composting organic matter and improving the carbon/nitrogen ratio than PBC. The microbial composition during composting varied significantly, with the dominant phyla shifting from Firmicutes to Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidota. Network and hierarchical clustering analyses showed that the MBC treatment enhanced the interactions of dominant microbes (Proteobacteria and Bacteroidota) and accelerated the composting process. The biochar addition accelerated assimilatory nitrate reduction and slowed dissimilatory nitrate reduction and denitrification. The Mantel test demonstrated that magnetic biochar potentially helped regulate composting nutrients and affected functional nitrogen genes. These findings shed light on the role of MBC in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions during aerobic composting.

Abstract
Water contamination caused by organic dyes has become a significant concern, and catalytic degradation of dye pollutants is an effective solution. However, developing an affordable, easy-to-prepare, high-catalytic-activity, and renewable catalyst has proved challenging. The current study addresses this issue by introducing an efficient heterogeneous Fenton catalyst, known as multivalent iron-based magnetic porous biochar (mFe-MPB). This catalyst comprises multiple iron species, such as Fe3O4, γ-Fe2O3, zero-valent Fe (Fe0), and Fe3C. The mFe-MPB was easily prepared by utilizing a straightforward crosslinking-pyrolysis strategy with natural peach gum polysaccharide (PGP), which has a unique structure and composition that facilitates the creation of multivalent iron species. The mFe-MPB demonstrates high catalytic activity in the degradation of an array of dyes, including cationic dyes such as methylene blue (MB) and methyl violet (MV), as well as anionic new coccine (NC) dye. Its mass standardized rate constant value for catalytic degradation of MB can reach as high as 1.65 L min-1 g-1. Additionally, the catalyst can be easily recovered through magnetic separation and possesses remarkable structural stability, enabling several reuses without compromising its efficiency. Therefore, this study offers a viable strategy to fabricate low-cost, efficient and sustainable Fenton catalyst for removal of dye pollutants from water.

Abstract
In the present study, drinking water treatment sludge (DWTS) was reused as a catalyst in advanced oxidation processes for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. After determining their chemical and mineralogical compositions by X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), BET surface area, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), and FT-IR spectra. DWTS has been used as a heterogeneous photo Fenton-Like catalyst for the oxidation of MB under different parameters, including pH (3-6), H2O2 concentration (9.79-29.37 mM), and dose (1-2.5 g/L). The results showed that within 180 min and under UV light irradiation, more than 86% of MB having a concentration of 50 mg/L were removed using a catalyst loading of 1.5 g/L, a H2O2 dosage of 23.17 mM and a solution pH of 5. The DWTS has a satisfactory stability as the catalyst is stable and have very less iron leaching property.

Abstract
Industrial wastewater treatment processes produce a large quantity of iron-rich sludge due to the extensive utilization of iron salt reagent. Reuse of iron-rich sludge is an attractive route for excess sludge disposal and management. In this study, sludge-derived magnetic photocatalyst was prepared using industrial iron-rich sludge as raw materials for the first time. The photocatalytic degradation system constructed by the sludge-derived photocatalysts were evaluated using tetracycline (TC) as the target contaminant, achieving a high degradation rate of 98.3% within 5 h under optimal conditions. Major reactive oxygen species in the photocatalytic systems were investigated using radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The results suggested that •OH and O2•- were activated by photogenerated electrons and holes, respectively. Moreover, bound persistent free radicals induced by quinone-like structure in sludge-derived biochar were the predominant factors affecting radical 1O2 formation under the light irradiation. The reactive oxygen species of •OH, O2•-, and 1O2 played main roles in the degradation of TC. The used magnetic biochar can be effectively separated and recovered in aqueous solutions by the magnetism. This method provides a new cost-effective strategy for antibiotics removal from aqueous solution.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 380:129081.

Abstract
The effect of iron impregnation ratio on magnetic biochars (MBCs) prepared by biomass pyrolysis accompanied by KOH activation has been less reported. In this study, MBCs were produced by one-step pyrolysis/KOH-activation of walnut shell, rice husk and cornstalk with different impregnation ratios (0.3-0.6). The properties, adsorption capacity and cycling performance for Pb(II), Cd(II) and tetracycline of MBCs were determined. MBCs prepared with low impregnation ratio (0.3) showed stronger adsorption capacity on tetracycline. The adsorption capacity of WS-0.3 toward tetracycline was up to 405.01 mg g-1, while that of WS-0.6 was only 213.81 mg g-1. It is noteworthy that rice husk and cornstalk biochar with an impregnation ratio of 0.6 were more effective in removing Pb(II) and Cd(II), and the content of Fe0 crystals on surface strengthened the ion exchange and chemical precipitation. This work highlights that the impregnation ratio should be changed according to the actual application scenarios of MBC.

Magnetic Activated Carbon from ZnCl 2 and FeCl 3 Coactivation of Lotus Seedpod: One-Pot Preparation, Characterization, and Catalytic Activity towards Robust Degradation of Acid Orange 10. Bioinorg Chem Appl 2023; 2023:3848456. [PMID: 37324575 PMCID: PMC10264712 DOI: 10.1155/2023/3848456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Lotus seedpods (LSPs) are an abundant and underutilized agricultural residue discarded from lotus seed production. In this study, ZnCl2 and FeCl3 coactivation of LSP for one-pot preparation of magnetic activated carbon (MAC) was explored for the first time. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that Fe3O4, Fe0, and ZnO crystals were formed in the LSP-derived carbon matrix. Notably, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the shapes of these components consisted of not only nanoparticles but also nanowires. Fe and Zn contents in MAC determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) were 6.89 and 3.94 wt%, respectively. Moreover, SBET and Vtotal of MAC prepared by coactivation with ZnCl2 and FeCl3 were 1080 m2/g and 0.51 cm3/g, which were much higher than those prepared by single activation with FeCl3 (274 m2/g and 0.14 cm3/g) or ZnCl2 (369 m2/g and 0.21 cm3/g). MAC was subsequently applied as an oxidation catalyst for Fenton-like degradation of acid orange 10 (AO10). As a result, 0.20 g/L MAC could partially remove AO10 (100 ppm) with an adsorption capacity of 78.4 mg/g at pH 3.0. When 350 ppm H2O2 was further added, AO10 was decolorized rapidly, nearly complete within 30 min, and 66% of the COD was removed in 120 min. The potent catalytic performance of MAC might come from the synergistic effect of Fe0 and Fe3O4 nanocrystals in the porous carbon support. MAC also demonstrated effective stability and reusability after five consecutive cycles, when total AO10 removal at 20 min of H2O2 addition slightly decreased from 93.9 ± 0.9% to 86.3 ± 0.8% and minimal iron leaching of 1.14 to 1.19 mg/L was detected. Interestingly, the MAC catalyst with a saturation magnetization of 3.6 emu/g was easily separated from the treated mixture for the next cycle. Overall, these findings demonstrate that magnetic activated carbon prepared from ZnCl2 and FeCl3 coactivation of lotus seedpod waste can be a low-cost catalyst for rapid degradation of acid orange 10.

Abstract
Many studies have successfully built iron-mediated materials to activate or catalyze Fenton-like reactions, with applications in water and wastewater treatment being investigated. However, the developed materials are rarely compared with each other regarding their performance of organic contaminant removal. In this review, the recent advances of Fenton-like processes in homogeneous and heterogeneous ways are summarized, especially the performance and mechanism of activators including ferrous iron, zero valent iron, iron oxides, iron-loaded carbon, zeolite, and metal organic framework materials. Also, this work mainly compares three O-O bond containing oxidants including hydrogen dioxide, persulfate, and percarbonate, which are environmental-friendly oxidants and feasible for in-situ chemical oxidation. The influence of reaction conditions, catalyst properties and benefits are analyzed and compared. In addition, the challenges and strategies of these oxidants in applications and the major mechanisms of the oxidation process have been discussed. This work can help understand the mechanistic insights of variable Fenton-like reactions, the role of emerging iron-based materials, and provide guidance for choosing appropriate technologies when facing real-world water and wastewater applications.

Abstract
Due to increasing antibiotic pollution in the water environment, green and efficient adsorbents are urgently needed to solve this problem. Here we prepare magnetic bamboo-based activated carbon (MDBAC) through delignification and carbonization using ZnCl2 as activator, resulting in production of an activated carbon with large specific surface area (1388.83 m2 g-1). The influencing factors, such as solution pH, initial sulfadiazine (SD) concentration, temperature, and contact time, were assessed in batch adsorption experiments. The Langmuir isotherm model demonstrated that MDBAC adsorption capacity on SD was 645.08 mg g-1 at its maximum, being higher than majority of previously reported adsorbents. In SD adsorption, the kinetic adsorption process closely followed the pseudo-second kinetic model, and the thermodynamic adsorption process was discovered to be exothermic and spontaneous in nature. The MDBAC exhibited excellent physicochemical stability, facile magnetic recovery and acceptable recyclability properties. Moreover, the synergistic interactions between MDBAC and SD mainly involved electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, and chelation. Within the benefits of low cost, ease of production and excellent adsorption performance, the MDBAC biosorbent shows promising utilization in removing antibiotic contaminants from wastewater.

Abstract
As toxic elements of concern, Cd(II) and As(V) pose a threat to human health. In this study, a new type of magnetic adsorbent (SBNa800) was prepared using a mixture of industrial waste steel slag and ginkgo leaves to treat wastewater contaminated with Cd(II) and As(V). The maximum adsorption capacities of SBNa800 for Cd(II) and As(V) were 109.17 (pH 5, 1.82 times that of the original biochar) and 59.79 (pH 3) mg/g, respectively. Cd(II) and As(V) adsorption capacities was above 90 % at pH = 4. Cd(II) and As(V) were synergistic and competitive adsorption. The results of μ-XRF, XANES and XPS showed that Cd(II) was adsorbed by SBNa800 in the forms of Cd(OH)2, CdCO3, Cd5H2(AsO4)4·4 H2O, CdCl2·2.5 H2O and Cd(NO3)2. About 52.79-64.61 % As(V) was reduced to As(III) by Fe(0) on SBNa800 and then adsorbed. The adsorption mechanisms of Cd(II), As(V) and As(III) were hydrogen bonding/electrostatic attraction, inner-sphere complexation and precipitation. The saturation magnetisation of SBNa800, which was easy to separate from wastewater, was 6.54 emu/g. Therefore, SBNa800 can be used as a potential adsorbent to treat wastewater contaminated with Cd(II) and As(V).

Abstract
Although spinel ferrite (MFe2O4, M = Zn, Ni, Mn, etc.) has been reported as a promising catalyst, its low photocatalytic activity under visible light greatly restricts its practical application. Spinel ferrite-based photocatalytic composites have exhibited improved efficiency for pollutant degradation, due to interface charge carrier mobility and structural modification. Meanwhile, due to its magnetism and stability, spinel ferrite composite can be easily recycled for long-term utilization, showing its high application potential. In this review, the recent advances in the construction and photocatalytic degradation of spinel ferrite composites are discussed, with an emphasis on the relationship between structural property and photocatalytic activity. In addition, to improve their photocatalytic application, the challenges, gaps and future research prospects are proposed.

Abstract
The conversion of agricultural waste into high-value carbon products has been an attractive area in waste management strategy. This study highlighted the synthesis and effectiveness of green pea peels (GPP), green pea biochar (GPBC), and nano-ferromagnetic green pea biochar (NFGPBC) by the ferrous/ferric co-precipitation synthesis method for eliminating cationic dyes molecules from solutions. The morphological, physicochemical, and structural properties of GPP, GPBC, and NFGPBC were approved by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Emission Microscopy (TEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), Bruneau Emmett Teller (BET), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) techniques. Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM) analysis confirmed the NFGPBC magnetization performance. The capacity of each adsorbent for methylene blue removal was evaluated at various parameters of material dosage (50-250 mg/150 mL), pH (2-12), initial concentration (50-250 mg/L), contact time (0-90 min) and temperature (20-60 °C). The three developed adsorbent materials GPP, GPBC, and NFGPBC, possessed reasonable BET surface areas of 0.6836, 372.54, and 147.88 m2g-1, and the corresponding monolayer adsorption capacities of 163.93, 217.40, and 175.44 mg/g, respectively. The superior performances of GPBC and NFGPBC were due to their increased surface area compared with the parent green pea peels (GPP). The results from adsorption kinetics studies of all prepared materials were pseudo-second-order and Elovich kinetics models. The thermodynamic parameters exhibited MB sorption's favorability, spontaneity, and endothermic nature. The NFGPBC material experienced Vander Waal forces, electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions as predominant modes of the solid-liquid interaction. The regeneration, recycling, and reusability of the synthesized GPP, GPBC, and NFGPBC performed at five adsorption cycles revealed that NFGPBC demonstrated excellent cyclical performances attaining a minimum 8.9% loss in capacity due to paramagnetic properties. Thus, NFGPBC is a green, efficient, and eco-friendly material recommended for large-scale production and application in wastewater.

Abstract
Nanocellulose, as the star nanomaterial in carbohydrate polymers, has excellent mechanical properties, biodegradability, and easy chemical modification. However, further practical applications of nanocellulose are limited by their inadequate functionalization. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as the star nanomaterial in functional polymers, have a large surface area, high porosity, and adjustable structure. The collaboration of nanocellulose and MOFs is a desirable strategy to make composites especially interesting for multifunctional and multi-field applications. What sparks will be produced by the collaboration of two-star nanomaterials? In this review article, we highlight an up-to-date overview of nanocellulose-based MOFs composites. The sewage treatment, gas separation, energy storage, and biomedical applications are mainly summarized. Finally, the challenges and research trends of nanocellulose-based MOFs composites are prospected. We hope this review may provide a valuable reference for the development and applications of carbohydrate polymer composites soon.

Abstract
Conventional nanomaterials are available in electrochemical glucose nonenzymatic sensing, but their broad applications are limited due to their high cost and complicated preparation procedures. In this study, NiS-NiS2/sludge-based biochar/GCE was fabricated by one-step potentiostatic electrodeposition on biochar and used as an interface material for non-enzymatic sensing of glucose in 0.1 M NaOH. With an electrodeposition time of 300 s, the as-prepared sensors delivered the best electrochemical performance toward glucose due to the synergistic effects of NiS-NiS2 and sludge-based biochar. The as prepared NiS-NiS2/sludge-based biochar surface morphology, surface composition, and electrochemical properties were characterized by SEM elemental mapping, XPS and cyclic voltammetry. Under optimized conditions, the linearity between the current response and the glucose concentration has been obtained in the range of 5-1500 μM with a detection limit of 1.5 μM. More importantly, the fabricated sensor was successfully utilized to measure glucose in serum of sweetened beverages and human blood. Accordingly, NiS-NiS2/sludge-based biochar/GCE can hopefully be applied as a normal enzyme-free glucose sensor with excellent properties of sensitivity, reproducibility, stability, as well as sustainability.

Abstract
The current water crisis necessitates the development of new materials for wastewater treatment. A variety of nanomaterials are continuously being investigated for their potential as adsorbents for environmental remediation. Researchers intend to develop a low-cost, simple, and sustainable material that can cater to removal of pollutants. Biochar derived from biowaste is a potential candidate for the existing problem of water pollution. The review focuses on the various aspects of biochar, such as its sources, preparation methods, mechanism, applications for wastewater treatment, and its regeneration. Compared with other adsorbents, biochar is considered as an environmentally friendly, sustainable, and cost-effective substitute for waste management, climate protection, soil improvement, wastewater treatment, etc. The special properties of biochar such as porosity, surface area, surface charge, and functional groups can be easily modified by various chemical methods, resulting in improved adsorption properties. Therefore, in view of the increasing environmental pollution and the problems encountered by researchers in treating pollutants, biochar is of great importance. This review also highlights the challenges and prospective areas that can be explored and studied in more detail in the future.

Removal of Reactive Black Dye in Water by Magnetic Mesoporous Carbon from Macadamia Nutshell. ADSORPT SCI TECHNOL 2022.

Abstract
The novel and intriguing role of Fe(NO3)3 as a chemical activator in carbonization of macadamia nutshell is introduced in this work. Magnetic mesoporous carbon was achieved by chemical activation of macadamia nutshell with Fe(NO3)3 under nitrogen atmosphere at 850°C (MMC-850). Porosity of MMC-850 included SBET 317 m2/g with Vmicro 0.0796 cm3/g and considerably high Vmeso 0.4318 cm3/g. Not only did MMC-850 possesses good magnetic properties with saturation magnetization and coercive force of 31.48 emu/g and 506.6 Oe, respectively, but MMC-850 also showed high-removal efficiency of reactive black dye (RB5) with maximum adsorption capacity at 123.51 mg/g. The experimental data fit the Langmuir isotherm and Elovich model. Thermal regeneration was effective in degrading RB5 and removal ability was above 90% after two regeneration cycles. RB5 removal from water by MMC-850 as an adsorbent is considered a facile and inexpensive method since macadamia nutshell is a food by-product which is a green and renewable carbon precursor. MMC-850 is a potential adsorbent because it can be separated from wastewater treatment system using magnetic force. Besides, MMC-850 particle is not brittle compared to other porous biochar/activated carbon with similar size; therefore, it is an excellent candidate for column packing or scaling up for wastewater treatment facilities in the future.

Abstract
AbstractThe fast increase of population results in the quick development of industry and agriculture. Large amounts of contaminants such as metal ions and organic contaminants are released into the natural environment, posing a risk to human health and causing environment ecosystem problems. The efficient elimination of contaminants from aqueous solutions, photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants or the in-situ solidification/immobilization of heavy metal ions in solid phases are the most suitable strategies to decontaminate the pollution. Biochar and biochar-based composites have attracted multidisciplinary interests especially in environmental pollution management because of their porous structures, large amounts of functional groups, high adsorption capacities and photocatalysis performance. In this review, the application of biochar and biochar-based composites as adsorbents and/or catalysts for the adsorption of different contaminants, adsorption-photodegradation of organic pollutants, and adsorption-(photo)reduction of metal ions are summarized, and the mechanism was discussed from advanced spectroscopy analysis and DFT calculation in detail. The doping of metal or metal oxides is the main strategy to narrow the band gap, to increase the generation and separation of photogenerated e−-h+ pairs, to produce more superoxide radicals (·O2−) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH), to enhance the visible light absorption and to increase photocatalysis performance, which dominate the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants and (photo)reduction of high valent metals to low valent metals. The biochar-based composites are environmentally friendly materials, which are promising candidates in environmental pollution cleanup. The challenge and perspective for biochar-based catalysts are provided in the end.

Abstract
Magnetic biochar is important for improving the electron transfer capacity (ETC) of microorganisms in wastewater treatment. In this study, three magnetic biochar under different pyrolysis temperatures (300, 500 and 700 °C) were prepared by co-precipitation, and their characteristics and impacts on mediating microbial ETC were investigated. Results indicated that magnetic biochar had a higher capacitance and conductivity than pyrolytic biochar, with the largest specific capacitance of 14.7F/g for FCS700 (magnetic biochar prepared at 700 °C). The addition of magnetic biochar could improve the nitrogen removal efficiency of a sludge-biochar system. The electron transfer resistance (Rct) of magnetic biochar was lower than pyrolytic biochar by 25.5 % (300 °C), 19.7 % (500 °C), and 11.6 % (700 °C), respectively. The structure of the microbial community in the sludge-biochar system differed significantly. Spearman correlation suggested that the electrochemical properties of biochar were an important factor affecting the structure of the microbial community.

Abstract
Drinking fluoride (F-)-contaminated water (>1.5 mg L-1) causes severe dental and skeletal disorders. In the central province of Pakistan, ∼20 times higher levels of F- in the drinking groundwater (compared with the 1.5 mg L-1 permissible limit of the World Health Organization) are triggering bone abnormalities in teenagers. In this study, we demonstrated the potential of pinecone-derived biochar (pristine) impregnated with Fe- and Al-salts (engineered) to defluoridate water. Batch mode adsorption experiments were carried out under variable conditions of solution pH, F- initial concentration, adsorbent dose, and contact time. The engineered biochars resulted in greater adsorption than that of pristine biochar. Specifically, the AlCl3-modified biochar exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 14.07 mg g-1 in spiked water and 13.07 mg g-1 in in-situ groundwater. The equilibrium isothermal and kinetic models predicted monolayer, cooperative, and chemisorption types of the adsorption process. The chemical interaction and outer-sphere complexation of F- with Al, Na, and H elements were further confirmed by the post-adsorption analysis of the AlCl3-modified biochar by FTIR and XRD. The AlCl3-modified biochar resulted in 87.13% removal of F- from the in-situ F--contaminated groundwater, even in the presence of naturally occurring competing ions (such as Cl-, HCO3-, SO42-, and NO3-). We conclude that the AlCl3-modified biochar derived from pinecone could be a promising cost-effective adsorbent for the defluoridation of water.

The Preparation of Eco-Friendly Magnetic Adsorbent from Wild Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes): The Application for Removing Lead Ions from Industrial Wastewater. ADSORPT SCI TECHNOL 2022.

Abstract
Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a wild floating plant that can be found widely in pond or river areas. The plant grows fiercely and causes many harmful issues to the ecosystem around its covered area. This work provides a utilization method that converts wild water hyacinth to reliable magnetic biochar which can be used as a very effective adsorbent for the removal of lead ion Pb(II) in industrial wastewater. The mentioned magnetic biochar can be prepared via a modified pyrolysis process at 550°C with the support of cobalt sulfates as magnetite precursors and limited oxygen from the sweeping gas (the gas mixture ratio is 4 : 1 nitrogen/oxygen). The produced samples were hydrophobic biochar with high oxygen-containing functional groups that are suitable for the removal of inorganic contaminants. The impregnation of cobalt (II, III) oxides provided high magnetic separation performance and additional adsorption sites on the produced magnetic biochar. As indicated by the obtained result, the WHB-Co2M sample possesses a highly porous structure (0.126 cc/g), higher thermal stability (thermal durability reaches 900°C), relatively stable magnetic properties (14.74 emu/g), and a larger surface area (192 m2/g). These beneficial properties led to its suitability to serve as an adsorbent in removing lead ions in the contaminated effluent, recording 95% of removal efficiency and adsorption capacity of 67.815 mg/g. As indicated in the result, all prepared magnetic biochar samples were fitted to two-parameter (Langmuir models) and three-parameter (Sips model) isotherm models. Therefore, the adsorption process in this work could be carried out on both homogeneous and heterogeneous adsorbent surfaces. The adsorption kinetics of the removal process also was described by the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and Elovich models to reveal the adsorption and desorption rate of the as-prepared magnetic biochar. This work indicates a successful waste refinery route of converting lignocellulosic biomass such as water hyacinth into value-added material for use as promising heavy metal adsorbents.

Abstract
An acidified magnetic sludge-biochar (MSB) was prepared to enhance ammonium nitrogen (AN) removal efficiency in eutrophic water, and MSB was obtained by secondary pyrolysis of sludge biochar powder. A series of MSB were prepared under 300, 400, 500, 600 °C and different valence states of iron ions by impregnation pyrolysis, which is based on the deposition of unstable iron minerals on biochar matrix. Physicochemical properties of pristine biochar and MSB were revealed through characterization analysis, suggesting that MSB prepared by ferric chloride at 400 °C presented the largest adsorption capacity, and the acid-modification enhanced the ammonium adsorption capacity by 10.7%. Electrostatic attraction and ion-exchange processes were identified as the main adsorption mechanisms of MSB on AN. As the most dominant mechanism, ion exchange of AN with functional groups containing -OH and CO on the surface of MSB resulted in the relative content of -OH (61.3%) and CO (11.5%) bonds reduced to 34.2% and 7.0% respectively. The novel magnetic sludge-biochar with acid-modification possessed enhanced electron transfer capacity, revealing a removal pathway of ammonium by nitrification. The findings above demonstrated that MSB is a promising adsorbent for ammonium removal and can be applied to the natural nitrogen-rich water regulation.

Abstract
Nowadays, biochar is being studied to a great degree because of its potential for carbon sequestration, soil improvement, climate change mitigation, catalysis, wastewater treatment, energy storage, and waste management. The present review emphasizes on the utilization of biochar and biochar-based nanocomposites to play a key role in decontaminating dyes from wastewater. Numerous trials are underway to synthesize functionalized, surface engineered biochar-based nanocomposites that can sufficiently remove dye-contaminated wastewater. The removal of dyes from wastewater via natural and modified biochar follows numerous mechanisms such as precipitation, surface complexation, ion exchange, cation–π interactions, and electrostatic attraction. Further, biochar production and modification promote good adsorption capacity for dye removal owing to the properties tailored from the production stage and linked with specific adsorption mechanisms such as hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. Meanwhile, a framework for artificial neural networking and machine learning to model the dye removal efficiency of biochar from wastewater is proposed even though such studies are still in their infancy stage. The present review article recommends that smart technologies for modelling and forecasting the potential of such modification of biochar should be included for their proper applications.

Abstract
Magnetic biochar (MBC) is extensively applied on contaminants removal from environmental medium for achieving environmental-friendly remediation with reduction of secondary pollution owing to its easy recovery and separation. However, the summary of MBC synthesis methods is still lack of relevant information. Moreover, the adsorption performance for pollutants by MBC is limited, and thus it is imperative to adopt modification techniques to enhance the removal ability of MBC. Unfortunately, there are few reviews to present modification methods of MBC with applications for removing hazardous contaminants. Herein, we critically reviewed (i) MBC synthetic methods with corresponding advantages and limitations; (ii) adsorption mechanisms of MBC for heavy metals and organic pollutants; (iii) various modification methods for MBC such as functional groups grafting, nanoparticles loading and element doping; (iv) applications of modified MBC for hazardous contaminants adsorption with deep insight to relevant removal mechanisms; and (v) key influencing conditions like solution pH, temperature and interfering ions toward contaminants removal. Finally, some constructive suggestions were put forward for the practical applications of MBC in the near future. This review provided a comprehensive understanding of using functionalized MBC as effective adsorbent with low-cost and high-performance characteristics for contaminated environment remediation.

[PMID: 35306069 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.154648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2021] [Revised: 02/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Biochar (BC)-photocatalyst nanocomposites have emerged as appealing water and wastewater treatment technology. Such nanocomposite materials benefit from the synergistic effect of adsorption and photocatalysis to attain improved removal of pollutants from water and wastewater. Under this review, three BC-based nanocomposite photocatalysts such as BC-TiO2, BC-ZnO, and BC-spinel ferrites were considered. These nanocomposites acquire intrinsic properties to improve the practical limitations of the pristine BC and photocatalysts. The BC-based nanocomposites attained high photocatalytic activity, mechanical hardness, thermal stability, chemically non-reactive, magnetically permeable, reduced energy band gaps, improved reusability, and simplified recovery. Moreover, BC-based photocatalytic nanocomposites showed reduced recombination rates of the electron-hole pairs which are desirable for photocatalytic applications. However, the surface areas of the composites are usually smaller than that of the BC but higher than those of the pristine photocatalysts. Practically, the performances of the nanocomposites are much superior to those of the corresponding pristine components. This hybrid treatment technology is an emerging field and its industrial application is still at an early stage of the investigation. Therefore, exploring the full potential and practical applications of this technology is highly encouraging. Hence, this review focused on the critical evaluation of the most recent research on the synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic treatment efficiency of the BC photocatalyst nanocomposites towards emerging pollutants in the aqueous medium. Moreover, the influence of various sources of BC feedstocks and their limitations on adsorption and photodegradation activities are discussed in detail. Finally, concluding remarks and future research directions are given to assist and shape the exploration of BC-based nanocomposite photocatalysts in water treatment.

Abstract
Natural organic matters (NOMs) are ubiquitous in the environment, but few systematic studies have examined the influence of NOMs on the sorption ability of magnetic sludge biochar. In this study, magnetic sludge biochar was synthesized, characterized, and used as a sorbent to remove tetracycline (TC) from aqueous solutions. The effects of pH, humic acid (HA), and fulvic acid (FA) on TC adsorption by magnetic sludge biochar were studied using batch experiments. Adding HA and FA can alter the adsorption behavior of TC, except for its pH dependency. The results of this study show that relatively low concentrations of dissolved HA (≤8 ppm) and FA (≤5 ppm) promote the adsorption capacity of TC, but higher concentrations compete against TC for sorption sites on the surface of magnetic sludge biochar. The results of this study promote a better understanding of the application of magnetic sludge biochar in real antibiotic wastewater.

Abstract
Water pollution is a major concern for public health and a sustainable future. It is urgent to purify wastewater with effective methods to ensure a clean water supply. Most wastewater remediation techniques rely heavily on functional materials, and cost-effective materials are thus highly favorable. Of great environmental and economic significance, developing waste-derived materials for wastewater remediation has undergone explosive growth recently. Herein, the applications of waste (e.g., biowastes, electronic wastes, and industrial wastes)-derived materials for wastewater purification are comprehensively reviewed. Sophisticated strategies for turning wastes into functional materials are firstly summarized, including pyrolysis and combustion, hydrothermal synthesis, sol-gel method, co-precipitation, and ball milling. Moreover, critical experimental parameters within different design strategies are discussed. Afterward, recent applications of waste-derived functional materials in adsorption, photocatalytic degradation, electrochemical treatment, and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are analyzed. We mainly focus on the development of efficient functional materials via regulating the internal and external characteristics of waste-derived materials, and the material's property-performance correlation is also emphasized. Finally, the key future perspectives in the field of waste-derived materials-driven water remediation are highlighted.

Abstract
Herein, a concise review of the latest developments in catalytic processes involving organic reactions is presented, focusing on magnetic catalytic systems (MCSs). In recent years, various micro- and nanoscale magnetic catalysts have been prepared through different methods based on optimized reaction conditions and utilized in complex organic synthesis or degradation reactions of pharmaceutical compounds. These biodegradable, biocompatible and eco-benign MCSs have achieved the principles of green chemistry, and thus their usage is highly advocated. In addition, MCSs can shorten the reaction time, effectively accelerate reactions, and significantly upgrade both pharmaceutical synthesis and degradation mechanisms by preventing unwanted side reactions. Moreover, the other significant benefits of MCSs include their convenient magnetic separation, high stability and reusability, inexpensive raw materials, facile preparation routes, and surface functionalization. In this review, our aim is to present at the recent improvements in the structure of versatile MCSs and their characteristics, i.e., magnetization, recyclability, structural stability, turnover number (TON), and turnover frequency (TOF). Concisely, different hybrid and multifunctional MCSs are discussed. Additionally, the applications of MCSs for the synthesis of different pharmaceutical ingredients and degradation of organic wastewater contaminants such as toxic dyes and drugs are demonstrated.

Efficacy and cytotoxicity of engineered ferromanganese-bearing sludge-derived biochar for percarbonate-induced phthalate ester degradation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 422:126922. [PMID: 34425433 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.126922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2021] [Revised: 07/22/2021] [Accepted: 08/14/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Phthalate esters (PAEs) are a group of ubiquitous organic environmental contaminants. Engineered ferromanganese-bearing sludge-derived biochar (SDB), synthesized using one-step pyrolysis in the temperature range between 300 and 900 °C, was used to enable Fenton-like processes that decontaminated PAE-laden sediments. SDB was thoroughly characterized using scanning electron microscopyenergy-dispersive spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, thermogravimetric analysis, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy coupled with parallel factor analysis. The maximum PAE degradation was remarkable at 90% in 12 h at pH 6.0 in the presence of 1.7 g L-1 of SDB 900. The highly-effective PAE degradation was mainly attributed to the synergism between FeOx and MnOx, which strengthened the activation of percarbonate (PC) via electron transfer, hydroxy addition, and hydrogen abstraction through radical (HO•) and nonradical (1O2) oxidation mechanisms, thereby facilitating PAE catalytic degradation over SDB in real sediments, which clearly proved the efficacy of ferromanganese-bearing SDB and PC for the remediation of contaminated sediments. The cytotoxicity exhibited by human skin keratinocyte cells exposure to high SDB concentration (100-400 µg mL-1) for 24-48 h was low indicating insignificant cellular toxicity and oxidative damages. This study provides a new strategy for freshwater sludge treatment and reutilization, which enables a water-cycle-based circular economy and waste-to-resource recycling.

Abstract
Owing to its ubiquity in natural water systems and the high toxicity of its accumulation in the human body, it is essential to develop simple and low-cost electrochemical sensors for the determination of 3,3',5,5'-tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). In this work, Fe3O4-activated biochar, which is based on excess sludge, was prepared and characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and BET analysis to analyze its basic features. Subsequently, it was used to fabricate an electrochemical sensor for the detection of TBBPA. The electrochemical test results revealed that the Fe3O4-activated biochar film exhibited a larger active surface area, a lower charge transfer resistance and a higher accumulation efficiency toward TBBPA. Consequently, the peak current of TBBPA was significantly enhanced on the surface of the Fe3O4-activated biochar. The TBBPA sensing platform developed using the Fe3O4-activated biochar composite film, with relatively a lower detection limit (3.2 nM) and a wider linear range (5-1000 nM), was successfully utilized to determine TBBPA levels in water samples. In summary, the effective application of Fe3O4-activated biochar provided eco-friendly and sustainable materials for the development of a desirable high-sensitivity sensor for TBBPA detection.

Abstract
Agricultural waste disposal and purification of polluted water are always the key issues of environmental restoration. In this work, thiourea-functionalized magnetic bagasse biochar (MFeBC) was prepared for tetracycline (TC) removal from aqueous solutions. Firstly, MFeBC was prepared by a combined impregnation and chemical coprecipitation method. Furthermore, MFeBC was characterized by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and the magnetic hysteresis curves. For the TC adsorption, the effects of different solution pH level, adsorbent dosage, initial TC concentration and temperature on the adsorption performance were studied respectively. Moreover, the results indicated that the Freundlich isotherm models appropriately described the adsorption process. The kinetic data were better fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum TC adsorption capacity of MFeBC reached 69.26 mg g−1. Hydrogen bonding and Π–Π interactions played a dominant role in the adsorption process. Therefore, MFeBC can be used as an effective adsorbent for tetracycline removal from aqueous solution. Preparation of N,S-codoped magnetic bagasse biochar and adsorption of tetracycline.![]()
