Subrahmanian S, Sundararaman S, Kasivelu G. Carbon and metal based magnetic porous materials - Role in drug removal: A Comprehensive review. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 361:142533. [PMID: 38849099 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142533] [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: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
Development of effective adsorbents for the removal of contaminants from wastewater is indispensable due to increasing water scarcity and a lack of pure drinking water, which are prevailing as a result of rapid industrialization and population growth. Recently, the development of new adsorbents and their effective use without generating secondary waste is receiving huge consideration. In order to protect the environment from primary and secondary pollution, the development of adsorbents from wastes and their recycling have become conventional practices aimed at waste management. As a result, significant progress has been made in the synthesis of new porous carbon and metal-organic frameworks as adsorbents, with the objective of using them for the removal of pollutants. While many different kinds of pollutants are produced in the environment, drug pollutants are the most vicious because of their tendency to undergo significant structural changes, producing metabolites and residues with entirely different properties compared to their parent compounds. Chemical reactions involving oxidation, hydrolysis, and photolysis transform drugs. The resulting compounds can have detrimental effects on living beings that are present in soil and water. This review stresses the development of adsorbents with adjustable porosities for the broad removal of primary drug pollutants and their metabolites, which are formed as a result of drug transformations in environmental matrices. This keeps adsorbents from building up in the environment and prevents them from becoming significant pollutants in the future. Additionally, it stops secondary pollution caused by the deterioration of the used adsorbents. Focus on the development of effective adsorbents with flexible porosities allows for the complete removal of coexisting contaminants and makes a substantial contribution to wastewater management. In order to concentrate more on the development of flexible pore adsorbents, it is crucial to comprehend the milestones reached in the research and applications of porous magnetic adsorbents based on metal and carbon, which are discussed here.

Abstract
As waste discharge into numerous river systems escalates, the pollution of water bodies typically rises. Given the limited capacity of rivers to withstand pollution and their constrained self-cleaning capabilities, treated pollutants from waste discharge must be released into the river. Despite numerous models and algorithms proposed for managing river water quality to meet standards, literature, to our awareness, lacks the utilization of a comprehensive multi-criteria group decision-making approach for water quality management, particularly in river systems. Therefore, this research introduces a new, comprehensive multi-criteria group decision-making for the management of water quality in the Haraz River basin, located in Iran. To do so, the water quality of the basin, a one-dimensional water quality model, QUAL2Kw, was employed to simulate and calibrate the water quality along the river. The simulation results revealed that the downstream water quality violates the water quality standards. To mitigate this issue, various scenarios for waste load allocation (WLA) were evaluated, including no wastewater treatment, primary wastewater treatment, advanced secondary wastewater treatment utilizing the activated sludge (AS) method, and advanced wastewater treatment via the membrane bioreactor (MBR) method. Utilizing the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and Fuzzy TOPSIS group decision-making model, it was determined that the optimal solution was the implementation of secondary wastewater treatment utilizing the activated sludge method for the 11 PS of pollution, while still adhering to Iranian water quality standard. In addition, the findings of the present study indicate that the implementation of primary wastewater treatment, advanced secondary wastewater treatment utilizing AS, and advanced wastewater treatment through MBR within the study area led to a significant enhancement in water quality. This enhancement ranged from 35 to 105% across various scenarios when compared to conditions where no actions were taken to the treatment of water.

Abstract
Global terrestrial water supplies are rapidly depleting due to the consequences of climate change. Water scarcity results in an inevitable compromise of safe hygiene and sanitation practices, leading to the transmission of water-borne infectious diseases, and the preventable deaths of over 800.000 people each year. Moreover, almost 500 million people lack access to toilets and sanitation systems. Ecosystems are estimated to be contaminated by 6.2 million tons of nitrogenous products from human wastewater management practices. It is therefore imperative to transform toilet and sewage systems to promote equitable access to water and sanitation, improve public health, conserve water, and protect ecosystems. Here, the integration of emerging technologies in toilet and sewage networks to repurpose toilet and wastewater systems is reviewed. Potential applications of these systems to develop sustainable solutions to environmental challenges, promote public health, and advance person-centered healthcare are discussed.

Abstract
With the continuous development of the economy and society, along with the sustained population growth, the issue of water resources carrying capacity in China has attracted increasing attention. This paper constructs a model for evaluating the provincial water resources carrying capacity in China from four dimensions: water, economy, society, and ecology. Utilizing this model, we analyze the spatiotemporal variations in water resources carrying capacity among 31 provinces in China from 2005 to 2021. Additionally, we delve into the coupling coordination and influencing factors of water resources carrying capacity. The study reveals an overall increasing trend in China's water resources carrying capacity index, with the ecological indicator exhibiting the most significant growth while the water resources sub-indicator lags behind. There are notable regional differences, with higher water resources carrying capacity observed in the eastern coastal areas and relatively lower capacity in the western regions. The ecological criterion becomes a core factor constraining water resources carrying capacity from 2005 to 2015, gradually giving way to the prominence of the social criterion since 2015. The coordination degree is relatively higher in the eastern regions, more scattered in the western regions, and relatively stable in the central regions. Based on the research findings, a series of recommendations are proposed, including strengthening environmental protection policies, optimizing water resources management mechanisms, improving water use efficiency, and promoting economic structural diversification. These suggestions aim to facilitate the sustainable development of water resources carrying capacity in China.

Abstract
In this work, UiO-66-NH2/GO nanocomposite was prepared using a simple solvothermal technique, and its structure and morphology were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). An enhanced electrochemical sensor for the detection of epirubicin (EP) was proposed, which utilized a UiO-66-NH2/GO nanocomposite-modified screen-printed graphite electrode (UiO-66-NH2/GO/SPGE). The prepared UiO-66-NH2/GO nanocomposite improved the electrochemical performance of the SPGE towards the redox reaction of EP. Under optimized experimental conditions, this sensor demonstrates a remarkable limit of detection (LOD) of 0.003 µM and a linear dynamic range from 0.008 to 200.0 µM, providing a highly capable platform for sensing EP. Furthermore, the simultaneous electro-catalytic oxidation of EP and topotecan (TP) was investigated at the UiO-66-NH2/GO/SPGE surface utilizing differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). DPV measurements revealed the presence of two distinct oxidation peaks of EP and TP, with a peak potential separation of 200 mV. Finally, the UiO-66-NH2/GO/SPGE sensor was successfully utilized for the quantitative analysis of EP and TP in pharmaceutical injection, yielding highly satisfactory results.

Abstract
The reasonable utilization of water resources and real-time monitoring of water pollution are the core tasks of current world hydrological and water conservancy work. Novel technologies and methods for monitoring water pollution are important means to ensure water health. However, the absence of intuitive and simple analysis methods for the assessment of regional pollution in large-scale water bodies has prevented scientists from quickly grasping the overall situation of water pollution. In this study, we propose a strategy based on the unique combination of fluorescence technology and simple kriging (SK) interpolation (FL-SK) for the first time. This strategy could present the relative magnitude and distribution of the physicochemical indicators of a whole natural lake intuitively and accurately. The unique FL-SK model firstly offers a simple and effective water quality method that provides the pollution index of different sampling points in lakes. The macroscopic evaluation of large-scale water bodies by the FL-SK model primarily relies on the fluorescence response of the RDM-TPE to the comprehensive indicators of the water body, as experimental results have revealed a good correlation between fluorescent responses and six normalized physicochemical indicators. Multiple linear regression and fluorescence response experiments on RDM-TPE indicate that to some extent, the fluorescence signals of the FL-SK model may originate from a certain type of sulfide in the water body. Pattern discovery could enable the analysis of pollution levels in other ecosystems and promote early pollution assessment in the future.

Abstract
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a class of artificially synthesised organic compounds extensively used in both industrial and consumer products owing to their unique characteristics. However, their persistence in the environment and potential risk to health have raised serious global concerns. Therefore, developing effective techniques to identify, eliminate, and degrade these pollutants in water are crucial. Owing to their high surface area, magnetic responsiveness, redox sensitivity, and ease of separation, magnetic materials have been considered for the treatment of PFASs from water in recent years. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent use of magnetic materials for the detection, removal, and degradation of PFASs in aqueous solutions. First, the use of magnetic materials for sensitive and precise detection of PFASs is addressed. Second, the adsorption of PFASs using magnetic materials is discussed. Several magnetic materials, including iron oxides, ferrites, and magnetic carbon composites, have been explored as efficient adsorbents for PFASs removal from water. Surface modification, functionalization, and composite fabrication have been employed to improve the adsorption effectiveness and selectivity of magnetic materials for PFASs. The final section of this review focuses on the advanced oxidation for PFASs using magnetic materials. This review suggests that magnetic materials have demonstrated considerable potential for use in various environmental remediation applications, as well as in the treatment of PFASs-contaminated water.

Abstract
Foodborne pathogen infection poses a significant threat to public health and is considered as one of the most serious hazards in global food safety. Herein, a sensitive and efficient method for on-site monitoring of foodborne pathogens was developed by using a smartphone-assisted paper-sensor combined with phage-derived bacterial-binding proteins-nano magnetic beads (PBPs-MBs). PBPs including tail fiber protein (TFP:gp13), cell-wall binding domain (CBD) of endolysin and tailspike protein (TSP) coated on the surface of MBs were applied for rapid separation and enrichment of targeted bacteria (Escherichia coli O157:H7, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium, respectively) from food samples in 20 min before detection on paper-based sensors. The paper-based sensor was loaded with the lytic agent (polymyxin B) to induce bacterial lysis and release specific endogenous enzymes. Subsequently, three distinct chromogenic substrates were hydrolyzed by their corresponding enzymes, resulting in characteristic color changes on the paper, respectively. In addition, a smartphone APP for red-green-blue (RGB) color analysis of paper was able to directly detect three foodborne pathogens. As a result, the limit of detection (LOD) values for three foodborne pathogens were found to be 2.44 × 102, 2.68 × 104 and 4.62 × 103 CFU/mL, respectively, which were much lower than other studies (106-108 CFU/mL) based on enzymes. Moreover, the feasibility of this approach was further assessed through the successful detection of targeted bacteria in real samples with satisfactory recovery rates. In conclusion, this smartphone-assisted biosensor offers promising application potential for point-of-care testing (POCT) of foodborne pathogens in resource-scarce areas.

Abstract
The crystal structure has a significant impact on the electrochemical properties of electrode material, and thus influences the electrocatalytic activity of the electrode. In this work, α-, β-, and γ-MnO2 electrodes were fabricated and applied for investigating the effect of crystal structure on electro-oxidation treatment of N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) containing wastewater. The prepared MnO2 electrodes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, suggesting that different crystal structures of MnO2 electrodes with the same morphology of stacking-needle structure were successfully prepared. The electrochemical performances, including removal efficiencies of DMAC, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total nitrogen (TN), and energy consumption, were compared between different MnO2 electrodes. Results indicated that β-MnO2 electrode presented the excellent electrochemical activity, and could remove 93% DMAC, 62% COD, and 78.9% TN, which was much higher than that of α- and γ-MnO2; moreover, energy consumptions of 11.3, 9.7, and 10.5 kWh/m3 were calculated for α-, β-, and γ-MnO2, respectively. Additionally, the oxidation mechanism of the MnO2 electrodes was presented, indicating that DMAC was mainly oxidized by hydroxyl radical through reactions of hydroxylation, demethylation, and deamination, and electrode characteristics of specific surface area, oxygen evolution potential, and hydroxyl radical production were the key factors for degrading DMAC on MnO2 electrodes. Finally, an actual DMAC containing wastewater was applied for testing the electrochemical performance of the three electrodes, and β-MnO2 electrode was verified as the suitable electrode for potential application which achieved removal efficiencies of 100%, 64.5%, and 73% for DMAC, COD, and TN, respectively, after system optimization.

Abstract
Tailoring the crystal structure, spin, and charge state of perovskite oxides through fluorine ion doping is an attractive and effective strategy, which could significantly modify the physical and chemical properties of base oxides. Here, BaFe1-xMnxO3-δ (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) and BaFe1-xMnxO2.9-δF0.1 (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3), belonging to 6H-type BaFeO3-δ, are prepared and investigated to evaluate the impact of F- doping. The distortion of crystal structure and the reduced average valence of Mn and Fe confirm the preference for F- substitution in the hexagonal layer, which are found as the key factors for the improved magnetic properties, including ferromagnetic ordering temperature, coercive force, and remanent magnetization. Moreover, the valence reduction of B-site ions and the increased resistance distinctly indicate the expense of electron hole via fluorine doping. This work describes the adjustment of crystal structure, electronic configuration, and ferromagnetic performance by simple F- doping, which provides a prospect for practical magnetic materials.

Abstract
Due to the potential ecosystem protection and management applications, searching for highly optimized semiconductor-based solar energy photocatalysts is still a significant challenge. Coupled α-Fe2O3-ZnO nanoparticles were prepared in situ and characterized by various identification techniques such as XRD, SEM-EDX, TEM, DRS, and FT-IR. Its pHpzc was about 8.1. The band gap energies of ZnO, α-Fe2O3, and the coupled α-Fe2O3-ZnO system were 3.22, 2.08, and 2.09 eV, respectively. The boosted photocatalytic activity of the coupled catalysts was designed via the RSM approach, and the optimal RSM conditions were pH 5, 25 min irradiation time, and 0.3 g/L of the α-Fe2O3-ZnO containing 75 % ZnO. The center point conditions' run included 0.5 g/L of the coupled catalyst containing 50 % ZnO, pH 7, and 22.5 min illumination time. The study on scavenger agents showed the highest role of hydroxyl radicals in MB photodegradation by the proposed catalyst.

Abstract
This study presents a comparison between two hydrolysis systems (MnO2/H2O2 and ascorbic acid (VC)/H2O2) for the depolymerization of exopolysaccharide (EPS) from Lactobacillus plantarum LPC-1. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize these two degradation systems, resulting in two H2O2-free degradation products, MEPS (MnO2/H2O2-treated EPS) and VEPS (VC/H2O2-treated EPS), where H2O2 residues in the final products and their antioxidant activity were considered vital points. The relationship between the structural variations of two degraded polysaccharides and their antioxidant activity was characterized. Physicochemical tests showed that H2O2 had a notable impact on determining the total and reducing sugars in the polysaccharides, and both degradation systems efficiently eliminated this effect. After optimization, the average molecular weight of EPS was reduced from 265.75 kDa to 135.41 kDa (MEPS) and 113.11 kDa (VEPS), improving its antioxidant properties. Characterization results showed that the two hydrolysis products had similar major functional groups and monosaccharide composition as EPS. The crystal structure, main chain length, and branched chain number were crucial factors affecting the biological activity of polysaccharides. In pot testing, two degraded polysaccharides improved spinach quality more than EPS due to their lower molecular weights, suggesting the advantages of low-molecular-weight polysaccharides. In summary, these two degradation techniques offer valuable insights for further expanding the utilization of microbial resources.

Abstract
In the context of aquatic environmental issues, dynamic analysis of nano-sized inorganic water pollutants has been one of the key topics concerning their seriously amplified threat to natural ecosystems and life health. Its ultimate challenge is to reach a single-entity level of identification especially towards substantial amount of inorganic pollutants formed as natural or manufactured nanoparticles (NPs), which enter the water environments along with the potential release of constituents or other contaminating species that may have coprecipitated or adsorbed on the particles' surface. Here, we introduced a 'nano-impacts' approach-single entity collision electrochemistry (SECE) promising for in-situ characterization and quantification of nano-sized inorganic pollutants at single-entity level based on confinement-controlled electrochemistry. In comparison with ensemble analytical tools, advantages and features of SECE point at understanding 'individual' specific fate and effect under its free-motion condition, contributing to obtain more precise information for 'ensemble' nano-sized pollutants on assessing their mixture exposure and toxicity in the environment. This review gives a unique insight about the single-entity collision measurements of various inorganic water pollutants based on recent trends and directions of state-of-the-art single entity electrochemistry, the prospects for exploring nano-impacts in the field of inorganic water pollutants measurements were also put forward.

Physicochemical fabrication of chitosan and algae with crosslinking glyoxal for cationic dye removal: Insight into optimization, kinetics, isotherms, and adsorption mechanism. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127112. [PMID: 37774818 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127112] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/01/2023]
Abstract
Herein, a highly efficient and sustainable adsorbent of cross-linked chitosan-glyoxal/algae biocomposite (CHT-GLX/ALG) adsorbent was developed through an innovative hydrothermal cross-linking method. The CHT-GLX/ALG biocomposite was characterized using several complementary analytical methods that include CHN-O, XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, and pHpzc. This new adsorbent, named CHT-GLX/ALG, was utilized for the adsorption of a cationic dye (methyl violet 2B; MV 2B), from synthetic wastewater. The optimization of the dye adsorption process involved key parameters is listed: CHT-GLX/ALG dosage (from 0.02 to 0.1 g/100 mL), pH (from 4 to 10), and contact time (from 20 to 180 min) that was conducted using the Box-Behnken design (BBD). The optimal adsorption conditions for the highest decolorization efficiency of MV 2B (97.02 %) were estimated using the statistical model of the Box-Behnken design. These conditions include a fixed adsorbent dosage of 0.099 g/100 mL, pH 9.9, and a 179.9 min contact time. The empirical data of MV 2B adsorption by CHT-GLX/ALG exhibited favorable agreement with the Freundlich isotherm model. The kinetic adsorption profile of MV 2B by CHT-GLX/ALG revealed a good fit with the pseudo-second-order model. The maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) for MV 2B by CHT-GLX/ALG was estimated at 110.8 mg/g. The adsorption of MV 2B onto the adsorbent can be attributed to several factors, including electrostatic interactions between the negatively charged surface of CHT-GLX/ALG and the MV 2B cation, as well as n-π and H-bonding. These interactions play a crucial role in facilitating the effective adsorption of MV 2B onto the biocomposite adsorbent. Generally, this study highlights the potential of CHT-GLX/ALG as an efficient and sustainable adsorbent for the effective removal of organic dyes.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical pollutants are a group of emerging contaminants frequently found in water streams. In this study, the composite chitosan beads with incorporated molecularly imprinted polymers (monoliths or microparticles) and iron(III) hydroxide were fabricated to remove ibuprofen from aqueous solutions. The adsorptive properties were investigated in different conditions to evaluate the influence of solution pH, adsorbent dose, ibuprofen initial concentration, adsorption time, and temperature. The highest adsorption capacity (79.41 mg g-1), about twice as large as that for the chitosan beads without polymers (39.42 mg g-1), was obtained for the ones containing monoliths imprinted with ibuprofen. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of 103.93 mg g-1 was obtained based on the experiments in optimal pH 5. The adsorption of ibuprofen on the hybrid hydrogel beads followed the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The process was found as endothermic and thermodynamically spontaneous. The adsorbent with a molecularly imprinted polymer retained its selectivity in the presence of other molecules. The imprinted cavities, chitosan functional groups, and iron hydroxide were presumably responsible for interactions with ibuprofen molecules. Additionally, the effectiveness of the adsorbent did not change significantly in real water samples and remained at a satisfactory level for up to four desorption-adsorption cycles.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have had tremendous impact on biomimetic recognition due to their precise specificity and high affinity comparable to that of antibodies, which has shown the great advantages of easy preparation, good stability and low cost. The combination of MIPs with other analytical technologies can not only achieve rapid extraction and sensitive detection of target compounds, improving the level of analysis, but also achieve precise targeted delivery, in-vivo imaging and other applications. Among them, the recognition mechanism plays a vital role in chemical and biological sensing, while the improvement of the recognition element, such as the addition of new nanomaterials, can greatly improve the analytical performance of the sensor, especially in terms of selectivity. Currently, due to the need for rapid diagnosis and improved sensing properties (such as selectivity, stability, and cost-effectiveness), researchers are investigating new recognition elements and their combinations to improve the recognition capabilities of chemical sensing and bio-sensing. Therefore, this review mainly discusses the design strategies of optical sensors, electrochemical sensors and photoelectric sensors with molecular imprinting technology and their applications in environmental systems, food fields, drug detection and biology including bacteria and viruses.

Abstract
Co3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were formed using hydrothermal synthesis method and various surfactants to study the effect of changing surface morphology on catalytic and antibacterial activities. FT-IR, TEM, SEM, BET, XRD, and XPS analyses were performed to characterize the NPs. It was observed that as the morphology of Co3O4 changes, it creates differences in the reduction efficiency of organic dyes and p-nitrophenol (p-NP), which are toxic to living organisms and widely used in industry. The reaction rate constants (Kapp) for Co3O4-urea, Co3O4-ed, and Co3O4-NaOH in the reduction of p-NP were found to be 1.86 × 10-2 s-1, 1.83 × 10-2 s-1, and 2.4 × 10-3 s-1, respectively. In the presence of Co3O4-urea catalyst from the prepared nanoparticles, 99.29% conversion to p-aminophenol (p-AP) was observed, while in the presence of the same catalyst, 98.06% of methylene blue (MB) was removed within 1 h. The antibacterial activity of Co3O4 particles was compared with five standard antibiotics for both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The results obtained indicate that the antimicrobial activity of the synthesized Co3O4 particles has a remarkable inhibitory effect on the growth of various pathogenic microorganisms. The current work could be an innovative and beneficial search for both biomedical and wastewater treatment applications.

Vanadia as an electron-hole recombination inhibitor on fibrous silica-titania for selective hole oxidation of ciprofloxacin and Congo red photodegradation. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 338:139502.

Abstract
Vanadia (V2O5)-incorporated fibrous silica-titania (V/FST) catalysts, which were successfully synthesized using a hydrothermal method followed by the impregnation of V2O5. The catalysts were then characterized using numerous techniques, including X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption analyses, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) analyses. The study found that varying the amount of V2O5 (1-10 wt%) had a significant impact on the physicochemical properties of the FST, which in turn improved the photodegradation efficiency of two organic compounds, ciprofloxacin (CIP) and congo red (CR). 5V/FST demonstrated the best performance in degrading 10 mg L-1 of CIP (83%) and CR (100%) at pH 3 using 0.375 g L-1 catalyst under visible light irradiation within 180 min. The highest photoactivity of 5V/FST is mainly due to higher crystallinity and the highest number of V2O5-FST interactions. Furthermore, as demonstrated by PL analysis, the 5V/FST catalyst has the most significant impact on interfacial charge transfer and reduces electron-hole recombination. The photodegradation of both contaminants follows the Langmuir-Hinshelwood pseudo-first-order model, according to the kinetic study. The scavenger investigation demonstrated that hydroxyl radicals and holes dominated species in the system, indicating that the catalyst effectively generated reactive species for pollutant degradation. A possible mechanism was also identified for FST and 5V/FST. Interestingly, V2O5 acts as an electron-hole recombination inhibitor on FST for selective hole oxidation of ciprofloxacin and congo red photodegradation. Finally, the degradation efficiency of the catalyst remained relatively stable even after five cyclic experiments, indicating its potential for long-term use in environmental remediation.

Abstract
The excessive use of organic pollutants like organic dyes, which enter the water environment, has led to a significant environmental problem. Finding an efficient method to degrade these pollutants is urgent due to their detrimental effects on aquatic organisms and human health. Carbon-based catalysts are emerging as highly promising and efficient alternatives to metal catalysts in Fenton-like systems. They serve as persulfate activators, effectively eliminating recalcitrant organic pollutants from wastewater. In this study, iron-loaded carbon black (Fe-CB) was synthesized from tire waste using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Fe-CB exhibited high efficiency as an activator of peroxydisulfate (PDS), facilitating the effective degradation and mineralization of rhodamine B (RhB) in water. A batch experiment and series characterization were conducted to study the morphology, composition, stability, and catalytic activity of Fe-CB in a Fenton-like system. The results showed that, at circumneutral pH, the degradation and mineralization efficiency of 20 mg L-1 RhB reached 92% and 48% respectively within 60 minutes. Fe-CB exhibited excellent reusability and low metal leaching over five cycles while maintaining almost the same efficiency. The degradation kinetics of RhB was found to follow a pseudo-first-order model. Scavenging tests revealed that the dominant role was played by sulfate (SO4-˙) and superoxide (O2-˙) radicals, whereas hydroxyl radicals (OH˙) and singlet oxygen (1O2) played a minor role in the degradation process. This study elucidates the detailed mechanism of PDS activation by Fe-CB, resulting in the generation of reactive oxygen species. It highlights the effectiveness of Fe-CB/PDS in a Fenton-like system for the treatment of water polluted with organic dye contaminants. The research provides valuable insights into the potential application of carbon black derived from tire waste for environmental remediation.

Abstract
The work proposes the application of a nanocomposite formed by graphene oxide and magnetite to remove chloroquine, propranolol, and metformin from water. Tests related to adsorption kinetics, equilibrium isotherms and adsorbent reuse were studied, and optimization parameters related to the initial pH of the solution and the adsorbent dosage were defined. For all pharmaceuticals, adsorption tests indicated that removal efficiency was independent of initial pH at adsorbent dosages of 0.4 g L-1 for chloroquine, 1.2 g L-1 for propranolol, and 1.6 g L-1 for metformin. Adsorption equilibrium was reached within the first few minutes, and the pseudo-second-order model represented the experimental data well. While the equilibrium data fit the Sips isotherm model at 298 K, the predicted maximum adsorption capacities for chloroquine, propranolol, and metformin were 44.01, 16.82, and 12.23 mg g-1, respectively. The magnetic nanocomposite can be reused for three consecutive cycles of adsorption-desorption for all pharmaceuticals, being a promising alternative for the removal of different classes of pharmaceuticals in water.

Bio-inspired polynorepinephrine based nanocoatings for reduced graphene oxide/gold nanoparticles composite for high-performance biosensing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

[PMID: 36921790 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) has established itself as a promising grafting and coating material, particularly for functional group-deprived electrochemically active nanomaterials such as graphene, MXene, CNT, metal nanoparticles, and so on, and has proven its extensive applicability in the design and development of electrochemical biosensor devices. However, polynorepinephrine (PNE), a sister compound of PDA, having additional -OH groups and greater coating uniformity and biocompatibility, has never been studied in the field of biosensors. Herein, we investigated PNE as a coating material for reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and gold nanoparticles (Au) in order to build an electrochemical genosensor for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) detection. Biotin-Avidin chemistry was used to covalently immobilize probe DNA (ssDNA) specific to MTB to the nanocomposite surface on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in order to construct biosensing electrodes. The formation of RGO/PNE and RGO/PNE/Au nanocomposite as well as the immobilization of ssDNA onto the bioelectrodes are both corroborated by UV-Visible, Raman, and XRD studies with FE-SEM and HR-TEM analysis. The electrochemical studies performed using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) showed the significant enhancement in charge transfer kinetics of RGO/PNE/GCE and RGO/PNE/Au/GCE electrode compared to GO/GCE electrode. The biosensing investigations performed using ssDNA/avidin/RGO/PNE/Au/GCE bioelectrode showed high sensitivity (2.3 × 10-3 mA μM-1), low detection limit (0.1 × 10-7 μM), broad detection range (0.1 × 10-2 to 0.1 × 10-7 μM) with good selectivity and low response time (5 s) of the developed sensor. In comparison to the analogous RGO/PDA/Au material system, RGO/PNE/Au demonstrated increased enzyme loading, improved electrochemical responsiveness, and superior biosensing performance.

Abstract
The domains of environmental cleanup and pathogen inactivation are particularly interesting in nanocomposites (NCs) due to their exceptional physicochemical properties. Tin oxide/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites (SnO2/rGO NCs) have potential uses in the biological and environmental fields, but little is known about them. This study aimed to investigate the photocatalytic activity and antibacterial efficiency of the nanocomposites. The co-precipitation technique was used to prepare all the samples. XRD, SEM, EDS, TEM, and XPS analyses were employed to characterize the physicochemical properties of SnO2/rGO NCs for structural analysis. The rGO loading sample resulted in a decrease in the crystallite size of SnO2 nanoparticles. TEM and SEM images demonstrate the firm adherence of SnO2 nanoparticles to the rGO sheets. The chemical state and elemental composition of the nanocomposites were validated by the XPS and EDS data. Additionally, the visible-light active photocatalytic and antibacterial capabilities of the synthesized nanocomposites were assessed for the degradation of Orange II and methylene blue, as well as the suppression of the growth of S. aureus and E. coli. As a result, the synthesized SnO2/rGO NCs are improved photocatalysts and antibacterial agents, expanding their potential in the fields of environmental remediation and water disinfection.

Abstract
The present study, reports a facile approach for the synthesis of FeWO4/FeS2 nanocomposites were demonstrated through hydrothermal method. The surface morphology, crystalline structure, chemical composition, optical properties of the prepared samples was analysed by different various technique. The result observed analysis indicates that, the formation of heterojunction by 2:1 wt.% of FeWO4/FeS2 nanohybrid has the lowest recombination rate of electron-hole pairs and the least electron transfer resistance. Due to its the broad absorption spectral range and preferable energy band gap, the (2:1) FeWO4/FeS2 nanohybrid photocatalyst exhibits an excellent ability to remove MB dye when exposed to UV-Vis. Light irradiation. Its photocatalytic activity of (2:1) FeWO4/FeS2 nanohybrid is higher than other as prepared samples due to its synergistic effects, enhanced light absorption and high charge carrier separation. Radical trapping experimental result implies that the photo-generated free electrons and hydroxyl radials are essential to degrade the MB dye. Furthermore, a possible future mechanism for FeWO4/FeS2 nanocomposites photocatalytic activity was discussed. Moreover, the recyclability analysis demonstrated that the FeWO4/FeS2 nanocomposites can be recycled multiple times. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of 2:1 FeWO4/FeS2 nanocomposites is promising for the further application of visible light driven photocatalyst in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The increasing demand for plastic in our daily lives has led to global plastic pollution. The improper disposal of plastic has resulted in a massive amount of atmospheric microplastics (MPs), which has further resulted in the production of atmospheric nanoplastics (NPs). Because of its intimate relationship with the environment and human health, microplastic and nanoplastic contamination is becoming a problem. Because microplastics and nanoplastics are microscopic and light, they may penetrate deep into the human lungs. Despite several studies demonstrating the abundance of microplastics and nanoplastics in the air, the potential risks of atmospheric microplastics and nanoplastics remain unknown. Because of its small size, atmospheric nanoplastic characterization has presented significant challenges. This paper describes sampling and characterization procedures for atmospheric microplastics and nanoplastics. This study also examines the numerous harmful effects of plastic particles on human health and other species. There is a significant void in research on the toxicity of airborne microplastics and nanoplastics upon inhalation, which has significant toxicological potential in the future. Further study is needed to determine the influence of microplastic and nanoplastic on pulmonary diseases.

Abstract
In this study, a novel N-rich triazine-based porous organic polymer (NR-POP) was synthesized via Schiff-base condensation. The structure of the synthesized porous polymer was identified using FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDS, TEM, TGA, and BET analyses. The adsorption efficiency of this polymer was investigated for the removal of lead and cadmium ions pollutants. The adsorption processes of Pb(II) and Cd(II) metal ions by this polymer adsorbent were exothermic and matched by the Langmuir isotherm with a high correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.9904, 0.9778), the maximum adsorption capacity (833.33, 178.57 mg g-1), and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Furthermore, NR-POP showed an excellent adsorption selectivity for Pb(II) compared to Cd(II).

Abstract
The importance of amino acids identification in biological systems has created expectation to develop a sensitive method for their detection. In this work, an efficient core-shell fluorescent quantum dots (QDs) probe based on CuInS2 (CIS) core and ZnS shell with the formula of CIS@ZnS QDs were synthesised and characterised by FT-IR, UV-Vis, TEM and DLS techniques. The probe was used for detection of Aspartic Acid (Asp) in an aqueous media. The probe shows a remarkable fluorescence response toward Asp over the other amino acids such as valine (Val), glycine (Gly), phenylalanine (Phe), leucine (Leu), alanine (Ala), serine (Ser), isoleucine (Iso), threonine (Thr), methionine (Met), Glutamic acid (Glu), histidine (His), arginine (Arg), cysteine (Cys), asparagine (Asn), glutamine (Gln), citrolline (Cit), sarcosine (Sar) and ornithine (Orn) the fluorescence intensity quenches significantly upon addition of Asp in an aqueous media. The CIS@ZnS QDs probe showed a selective and sensitive response by fluorescence quenching toward Asp in the concentration range of 8.3 × 10-7 M to 3.3 × 10-4 M with the detection limit of 7.8 × 10-8 M. The application of the sensor in determination of Asp in real human serum sample was also investigated. Based on our library search, the all reported fluorescent sensors for detection of Asp, either show a remarkable sensitivity to Glu acid. Luckily, this is the first presented optical probe able to detect just Asp from the solutions containing various amino acids.

Abstract
The war in Ukraine has led to complex emergencies, humanitarian crises, and other severe consequences, such as chemical industry disasters. The chemical industry is one of the principal sectors of Ukraine's economy. In 2019, Ukraine had a total volume of hazardous chemical accumulation of more than a 5.1billion tons. Therefore, an attack on chemical industrial facilities will lead to catastrophic consequences such as chemical disasters. This paper aims to study the disaster risk of chemical industrial facilities and its effects on public health and the environment during complex emergencies in Eastern Ukraine. Observational cross-sectional risk assessment method was utilized to assess hazard, vulnerability, and exposure of the chemical industry in Eastern Ukraine in Donetsk Oblast and Luhansk Oblast. Data on chemical factories in Eastern Ukraine was collected on Google Maps and Google Earth on May 2022. Lastly, the semi-quantitative risk assessment method was utilized to describe the risk from the perspective of consequences for life and health, the environment, property, and speed of development. Our disaster risk assessment found more than 1 million people (1,187,240 people) in Donetsk Oblast and more than 350 thousand people (353,716 people) in Luhansk Oblast are exposed to potential hazards from the chemical facilities clusters. The aggregation risk of bombardment of chemical facilities cluster in Eastern Ukraine is also high due to ongoing war. Therefore, the chemical industry disaster risks for Eastern Ukraine during complex emergencies in Donetsk Oblast and Luhansk Oblast are high in terms of likelihood and consequences to life and health, environment, property, and speed of development.

Abstract
Emerging organic pollutants (EOPs) are a category of pollutants that are relatively new to the environment and recently garnered a lot of attention. The majority of EOPs includes endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), pesticides, dyes and pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs). Exposure to contaminated water has been linked to an increase in incidences of malnutrition, intrauterine growth retardation, respiratory illnesses, liver malfunctions, eye and skin diseases, and fatalities. Consequently, there is a critical need for wastewater remediation technologies which are effective, reliable, and economical. Conventional wastewater treatment methods have several shortcomings that can be addressed with the help of nanotechnology. Unique characteristics of nanomaterials (NMs) make them intriguing and efficient alternative in wastewater treatment strategies. This review emphasis on the occurrence of divers emerging organic pollutants (EOPs) in water and their effective elimination via different NMs based methods with in-depth mechanisms. Furthermore, it also delves the toxicity assessment of NMs and critical challenges, which are crucial steps for practical implementations.

Abstract
This study investigated Ni+2 removal performance in 3DER reactors where electrocoagulation mechanisms and microelectrodes are used together. EDTA modification was carried out on the granule-activated carbon surface to increase the efficiency and affinity of microelectrodes against Ni+2 molecules. The grafting was examined using BET, FT-IR, SEM, EDS, and the elemental mapping methods. With the surface analyses made in this study, it was revealed that EDTA modification on granulated activated carbon was successfully performed. Also, 8.48%wt by mass of EDTA grafting on granular activated carbon was possible. EDTA functionalization did not affect the surface pore structures of CAC much. Under 10 V potential, 97.82% Ni removal efficiency was obtained with 2D in 35 min, while 96.69% removal in 10 min and 100% removal in 15 min were obtained in the 3D reactor. The Ni+2 removal mechanism in 3DER reactors has been determined to conform to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The k2 value obtained for 10 V (1.36 10-2) is 27 times the k2 value obtained for 5 V for 3DER reactors. In addition, using central composite design (CCD), operational parameters such as time, concentration, and potential difference affecting Ni+2 removal in 3DER reactors have been optimized. The most influential parameter is the applied voltage, followed by time and concentration. It has been determined that 3DER reactors using EDTA-modified microelectrodes are highly efficient and suitable for Ni+2 removal.

Abstract
Due to the explosive use of Azo dyes in various industries such as textiles, discharging these industrial effluents into the environment critically polluted water supplies. Accordingly, constructing/developing novel binary catalysts to diminish the pollution extent of such effluents before discharging into environment is an excellent issue in environmental chemistry. Here, a binary CdS/ Ag3PO4 was constructed, and its boosted photocatalytic activity was proven against methylene blue (MB), as a model dye pollutant. The Wurtzite CdS and Ag3PO4 cubic crystal nanoparticles were synthesized and coupled mechanically. The binary sample's lowest photoluminescence (PL) results confirm a higher e/h separation. DRS results confirmed a decreased energy gap for the coupled system. The semiconductors' VB and CV potentials were calculated and used for constructing of Z-scheme mechanism. The photocatalytic activity was followed via an experimental design approach. The model F-value of 89.75 > F0.05,14,13 = 2.42 and LOF F-value of 6.57 < F0.05,10, 3 = 8.79 reveal that the model well processed data. The optimal run conditions were CMB: 5 ppm, Catalyst dose: 1 g/L, pH: 3.25, and irradiation time: 139 min, at which 85% of MB molecules were degraded. Based on the trend of ascorbic acid > isopropanol > formic acid ≈ nitrate obtained for the scavengers' importance in decreasing the photocatalyst activity, superoxide radicals had the highest effect in MB degradation and then •OH. The results showed the direct Z-scheme has the main effect on MB degradation by the binary sample.

Abstract
In the study, a new bimetallic catalyst was synthesized for methanol oxidation using multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-supported platinum-osmium (PtOs) nanoparticles (PtOs@MWCNT NPs). The morphological structures of the prepared NPs were examined using different techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrochemical characterization of the synthesized PtOs@MWCNT catalysts, such as chronoamperometry (CA), cyclic voltammetry (CV), scan rate (SR) analysis, cyclic catalytic test, and electrochemical surface area (ECSA) evaluation, were performed in an alkaline medium. From the results obtained, the size of the NPs was found to be 3.12 nm according to the Debye-Schrrer equation, and the MWCNTs were clearly observed by SEM imaging. After the characterization of the prepared nanomaterials, the PtOs@MWCNT catalysts were employed in the methanol oxidation reaction, and a high oxidation current value of 220.86 mA cm-2 was observed. Besides, according to the CA results, the catalyst exhibited high stability for 4000 s, and it was seen that Os metal improved the catalytic activity of the main catalyst. These results show that the PtOs@MWCNT catalyst is highly stable and reusable, and provides high electrocatalytic activity in the methanol oxidation reaction. Moreover, the obtained catalyst gave ideal results in terms of CO tolerance and activity. These data show that the obtained catalyst will provide significant improvement and superior efficiency in fuel-cell applications.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 220:115151.

Abstract
Ternary CuO/AgO/FSZr photocatalysts were fabricated via the hydrothermal and electrochemical methods with three different CuO loading (1, 3 and 5 wt%), indicated as 1CuO/AgO/FSZr, 3CuO/AgO/FSZr and 5CuO/AgO/FSZr. The photocatalytic reaction was tested towards simultaneous chromium (VI) photoreduction and p-cresol photooxidation and the performance in order as follow: 3CuO/AgO/FSZr > 5CuO/AgO/FSZr > 1CuO/AgO/FSZr > AgO/FSZr > FSZr. CuO/AgO/FSZr photocatalysts showed an improvement in photocatalytic activity compared to AgO/FSZr and FSZr due to the reduction potential of chromium (VI) aligned closer to the conduction band of CuO and provided abundant free active electrons (e-) and holes (h+) with efficient transportation and migration. Interestingly, the 3CuO/AgO/FSZr was established as the best photocatalyst with 98% reduction of chromium (VI) and 83% oxidation of p-cresol simultaneously, owing to its strong corporation between the metal oxides and support and higher total pore volume. The Langmuir-Hinshelwood model were employed for kinetics which followed the pseudo-first-order kinetics model well. Based on the simultaneous photocatalytic mechanism, chromium (VI) and p-cresol were directly reduced and oxidized by e- and h+, respectively. The response surface methodology (RSM) discovered that the quadratic term initial concentration of chromium (VI) is the main significant factor in photocatalytic performance. The optimum parameters for simultaneous photoredox of chromium (VI) and p-cresol predicted from RSM are 9.6 mg L-1 of chromium (VI) concentration, 9.8 mg L-1 of p-cresol concentration and 0.32 g L-1 of catalyst dosage. Under these conditions the error between the predicted and experimental values is only 3.7%. The 3CuO/AgO/FSZr sustained the photocatalytic performance after reused for five cycles and could oxidized various organic pollutants as well as reduced chromium (VI) simultaneously.

Abstract
In this investigation, marigold flower-waste was activated with iron salts (MG-Fe), subsequently marigold plant extract (MG-Fe-Ex) for the adsorptive elimination of As3+ and As5+ from contaminated water. The governing factor such as medium pH, temperature, pollutant concentration, reaction time, adsorbent dose were considered for the study. The complete elimination of As3+/5+ was recorded with MG-Fe-Ex at pH 8.0, 90 min, 30 °C, dose 4 g/L, 20 mg/L of As3+/5+ and shaking rate 120 rpm, while under the identical experimental condition, MG-Fe exhibited 98.4% and 73.3% removal for As5+ and As3+, respectively. The MG-Fe-Ex contains iron oxides (Fe2O3 and Fe3O4) as a result of iron ions reaction with plant bioactive molecules as evident from x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopic (EDS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic study. The adsorption data of As3+/5+ on MG-Fe and MG-Fe-Ex was best fitted by pseudo-first order kinetic and freundlich isotherm except As5+ adsorption on MG-Fe-Ex that can be described by langmuir isotherm model. The prevailing mechanism in adsorption of As3+/5+ on both adsorbent might be hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction and complexation. From the above, it is confirmed that MG-Fe-Ex adsorbent has high potential and can be used for the adsorptive elimination of As3+/5+ from contaminated water in sustainable and environmentally friendly way.

Abstract
In this research, Hydroxyethyl cellulose - graphene oxide HEC-GO and HEC-GO/Fe-Zn mole ratio (2:1) nanocomposite as adsorbents were fabricated by crosslinking ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) to study the thermodynamic, kinetic and isotherm of doxycycline antibiotic adsorption. The morphology and structure of the adsorbents were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (FE-SEM- EDX), and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The adsorption behavior of doxycycline (DOX) was studied with different parameters including doxycycline concentration, pH, the dose of adsorbent (HEC-GO and HEC-GO/Fe-Zn, mole ratio (2:1)), contact time, and temperature. The optimal conditions for the removal of DOX are pH = 3.0, contact time 100 min, and 20 min for HEC-GO and HEC-GO/Fe-Zn mole ratio (2:1). The removal percentage for HEC-GO and HEC-GO/Fe-Zn mole ratio (2:1) was 97% and 95.5%, respectively. Equilibrium adsorption isotherms such as the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin models were analyzed according to the experimental data. Also, four adsorption kinetics were investigated for removing DOX. The Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models provided the best fit for experimental data for HEC-GO and HEC-GO/Fe-Zn mole ratio (2:1). Thermodynamic data showed that negative values of Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) and the negative value of enthalpy (ΔH°) of the adsorption process for adsorbents. It means that DOX removal was a spontaneous and exothermic reaction.

Abstract
A novel FeMoO4/g-C3N4-2D/2D Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was prepared via wet chemical method. The observed structural morphology of FeMoO4/g-C3N4 reveals the 2D-iron molybdate (FeMoO4) nanoplates compiled with the 2D-graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets like structure. The photocatalytic activity of the g-C3N4, FeMoO4, and FeMoO4/g-C3N4 composites were studied via the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) as targeted textile dye under visible light irradiation (VLI). The optimal FeMoO4/g-C3N4 (1:3 ratio of g-C3N4 and FeMoO4) composite show an enhanced degradation performance with rate constant value of 0.02226 min-1 and good stability even after three cycles. Thus, the h+ and O2•-are the key radicals in the degradation of RhB under VLI. It is proposed that the FeMoO4/g-C3N4 Z-scheme heterojunction effectively enhances the transfer and separation ability of e-/h+ pairs, by the way increasing the photocatalytic efficiency towards the RhB degradation. Thus, the newly constructed Z-scheme FeMoO4/g-C3N4 heterojunction photocatalyst is a promising material for the remediation of wastewater relevant to elimination of toxic effect in marine environment.

Abstract
In this report, Azithromycin (Azi) antibiotic was measured by carbon paste electrode (CPE) improved by graphene nanoribbon-CoFe2O4@NiO nanocomposite and 1-hexyl-3 methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (HMIM PF6) as an ionic liquid binder. The electrochemical behavior of Azi on the graphene nanoribbon-CoFe2O4@NiO/HMIM PF6/CPE is investigated by voltammetric methods, and the results showed that the modifiers improve the conductivity and electrochemical activity of the CPE. According to obtained data, the electrochemical behavior of Azi is related to pH. under optimum conditions, the sensor has linear ranges from 10 µM to 2 mM with a LOD of 0.66 µM. The effect of scan rate and chronoamperometry were studied, which showed that the Azi electro-oxidation is diffusion controlled with the diffusion coefficient of 9.22 × 10-6 cm2/s. The reproducibility (3.15%), repeatability (2.5%), selectivity, and stability (for 30 days) tests were investigated, which results were acceptable. The actual sample analysis confirmed that the proposed sensor is an appropriate electrochemical tool for Azi determination in urine and Azi capsule.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 217:114785. [PMID: 36395866 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114785] [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: 09/03/2022] [Revised: 10/12/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Today, it is known that most of the water sources in the world are either drying out or contaminated. With the increasing population, the water demand is increasing drastically almost in every sector each year, which makes processes like water treatment and desalination one of the most critical environmental subjects of the future. Therefore, developing energy-efficient and faster methods are a must for the industry. Using functional groups on the membranes is known to be an effective way to develop shorter routes for water treatment. Accordingly, a review of nano-porous structures having functional groups used or designed for desalination and water treatment is presented in this study. A systematic scan has been conducted in the literature for the studies performed by molecular dynamics simulations. The selected studies have been classified according to membrane geometry, actuation mechanism, functionalized groups, and contaminant materials. Permeability, rejection rate, pressure, and temperature ranges are compiled for all of the studies examined. It has been observed that the pore size of a well-designed membrane should be small enough to reject contaminant molecules, atoms, or ions but wide enough to allow high water permeation. Adding functional groups to membranes is observed to affect the permeability and the rejection rate. In general, hydrophilic functional groups around the pores increase membrane permeability. In contrast, hydrophobic ones decrease the permeability. Besides affecting water permeation, the usage of charged functional groups mainly affects the rejection rate of ions and charged molecules.

Investigation on the Removal Performances of Heavy Metal Copper (II) Ions from Aqueous Solutions Using Hydrate-Based Method. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 28:molecules28020469.

Abstract
Since heavy metal ion-contaminated water pollutionis becoming a serious threat to human and aquatic lives, new methods for highly efficient removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater are important to tackle environmental problems and sustainable development. In this work, we investigate the removal performances of heavy metal copper (II) ions from aqueous solutions using a gas hydrate-based method. Efficient removal of heavy metal copper (II) ions from wastewater via a methane hydrate process was demonstrated. The influence of the temperature, hydration time, copper (II) ions concentration, and stirring rate on the removal of heavy metal copper (II) ions were evaluated. The results suggested that a maximum of 75.8% copper (II) ions were removed from aqueous solution and obtained melted water with 70.6% yield with a temperature of -2 °C, stirring speed 800 r/min, and hydration time of 4 h with aninitial copper concentration of 100 mg/L. The initial concentration of copper (II) ions in the aqueous solution could be increased to between 100 and 500 mg/L. Meanwhile, our study also indicated that 65.6% copper (II) ions were removed from aqueous solution and the yield of melted water with 56.7%, even with the initial copper concentration of 500 mg/L. This research work demonstrates great potential for general applicability to heavy metal ion-contaminated wastewater treatment and provides a reference for the application of the gas hydrate method in separation.

Abstract
Nowadays, the evolution of two-dimensional materials like transition metal carbides (MXene) prepares a novel path to surpass the "trade-off" between the membrane permeation and rejection rates. Based on water swelling and oxidation vulnerability, MXene membranes showed vivid defects such as inadequate stability, detrimental adsorption, and haphazardly stacked nanosheets. Here, we prepared Ti3C2Tx MXene@metal-organic frameworks nanosheets from aminated metal-organic framework-101 (NH2-MIL-101(Al)) via the in-situ growth method and incorporated them into the thin-film polymer to acquire desirable MXene nanosheets with tailor-made structures. The earned modified thin-film nanocomposite membrane showed high salt rejection for Na2SO4 (98.6 ± 0.5%), MgSO4 (96.9 ± 0.7%), MgCl2 (84.5 ± 0.8%), and NaCl (82.5 ± 0.8%), and also showed an improved permeation rate by three times (17.1 ± 0.2 L m-2. h-1. bar-1). Concurrently, the rejection rate of five different types of heavy metal ions (Ni2+, Cd2+, Mn2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) was tested and denoted more than a 95.2 ± 0.5% rejection rate for all of them, notably high for Mn2+ (97.6 ± 0.4%). After modification, the flux recovery rate was as high as 95.3 ± 0.4%, denoting more than 30% improvement; besides, anti-compactness features enhanced by nearly 34 ± 0.7%. The long-term water permeation kept 91.5 ± 0.9% of its initial rate indicating almost 40 ± 0.8% enhancement. In addition, the rejection performance of Na2SO4 for the optimized membrane was more than 97% even after two weeks.

Abstract
In this study, bioaccumulation, remediation, tolerance, and effects of manganese ions (Mn(II)) and copper ions (Cu(II)) on antioxidant enzymes of thermophilic Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) SO-16 were investigated in detail. The findings of the study showed that Mn(II) was less toxic than Cu(II) to B. cereus SO-16. Moreover, B. cereus SO-16 was exhibited less tolerance to Mn(II) and Cu(II) ions in the liquid medium compared to the solid medium. The growth of bacteria was expressively effective for Mn(II) and Cu(II) concentrations of 2.5 mg/L at 24th h. The highest Mn(II) and Cu(II) bioaccumulation values after 48 h incubation of thermophilic B. cereus SO-16 were measured as 102.04 (24th h) and 87.96 (36th h) metal/dry bacteria weight. The change in morphology and functionality of B. cereus SO-16 after interaction with Mn(II) and Cu(II) was tested using various methods. The results indicated that B. cereus SO-16, a thermophilic bacterium, can be utilized in industrial wastewaters to recover and remediation of toxic metals.
