THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 922:171201. [PMID: 38417506 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171201] [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: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024]
Abstract
Mycelial pellets formed by Penicillium thomii ZJJ were applied as efficient biosorbents for the removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are a type of ubiquitous harmful hydrophobic pollutants. The live mycelial pellets were able to remove 93.48 % of pyrene at a concentration of 100 mg/L within 48 h, demonstrating a maximum adsorption capacity of 285.63 mg/g. Meanwhile, the heat-killed one also achieved a removal rate of 65.01 %. Among the six typical PAHs (pyrene, phenanthrene, fluorene, anthracene, fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene), the mycelial pellets preferentially adsorbed the high molecular weight PAHs, which also have higher toxicity, resulting in higher removal efficiency. The experimental results showed that the biosorption of mycelial pellets was mainly a spontaneous physical adsorption process that occurred as a monolayer on a homogeneous surface, with mass transfer being the key rate-limiting step. The main adsorption sites on the surface of mycelia were carboxyl and N-containing groups. Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by mycelial pellets could enhance adsorption, and its coupling with dead mycelia could achieve basically the same removal effect to that of living one. It can be concluded that biosorption by mycelial pellets occurred due to the influence of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, consisting of five steps. Furthermore, the potential applicability of mycelial pellets has been investigated considering diverse factors. The mycelia showed high environmental tolerance, which could effectively remove pyrene across a wide range of pH and salt concentration. And pellets diameters and humic acid concentration had a significant effect on microbial adsorption effect. Based on a cost-effectiveness analysis, mycelium pellets were found to be a low-cost adsorbent. The research outcomes facilitate a thorough comprehension of the adsorption process of pyrene by mycelial pellets and their relevant applications, proposing a cost-effective method without potential environmental issues (heat-killed mycelial pellets plus EPS) to removal PAHs.

Abstract
This paper aims to comprehensively examine and present the current state of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and toxic elements (TEs) in soil. Additionally, it seeks to assess the viability of employing advanced biotechnology, specifically phytoremediation with potent microbial formulations, as a means of detoxifying POPs and TEs. In the context of the "global treaty," which is known as the Stockholm Convention, we analyzed the 3D chemical structures of POPs and its prospects for living organisms which have not been reviewed up to date. The obstacles associated with the phytoremediation strategy in biotechnology, including issues like slow plant growth and limited efficiency in contaminant uptake, have also been discussed and demonstrated. While biotechnology is recognized as a promising method for detoxifying persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and facilitating the restoration of contaminated and degraded lands, its full potential in the field is constrained by various factors. Recent advances in biotechnology, such as microbial enzymes, designer plants, composting, and nanobiotechnology techniques, have opened up new avenues for mitigating persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and toxic elements (TEs). The insights gained from this review can contribute to the development of innovative, practical, and economically viable approaches for remediating and restoring soils contaminated with persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and toxic elements (TEs). The ultimate aim is to reduce the risks to both human and environmental health.

Abstract
In this study, a carbon-based adsorbent was developed from waste newspaper through pyrolysis at 800 °C to evaluate the removal efficiency of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Benzo[ghi]perylene (BghiP) and Indeno [1,2,3-cd] pyrene (IP)) from wastewater. The surface area of the developed adsorbent was estimated at 509.247m2g-1 which allowed the adsorption of the PAHs from wastewater. The maximum adsorption capacity was estimated at 138.436 μg g-1 and 228.705 μg g-1 for BghiP and IP, respectively and the highest removal efficiency was observed at pH 2. Around 91% removal efficiency was observed at pH 7 for both pollutants. Experimental adsorption data were fit for pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models, which demonstrate electrostatic interaction, monolayered deposition, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interaction between adsorbate and adsorbent which play a significant role in adsorption. The regeneration study described that the developed adsorbent could be able to intake 52.75% BghiP and 48.073% IP until the 8th and 6th cycles, respectively. The removal efficiency of the adsorbent in the real sample was also evaluated. This study will provide a method to convert waste material into adsorbent and will remove PAHs from wastewater as a function of pollutant mitigation and waste management.

Abstract
The worldwide increase in metropolitan cities and rise in industrialization have resulted in the assimilation of hazardous pollutants into the ecosystems. Different physical, chemical and biological techniques have been employed to remove these toxins from water bodies. Several bioprocess applications using microbes and their enzymes are utilized to achieve the goal. Biocatalysts, such as laccases, are employed explicitly to deplete a variety of organic pollutants. However, the degradation of contaminants using biocatalysts has many disadvantages concerning the stability and activity of the enzyme. Hence, they are immobilized on different supports to improve the enzyme kinetics and recyclability. Furthermore, standard wastewater treatment methods are not effective in eliminating all the contaminants. As a result, membrane separation technologies have emerged to overcome the limitations of traditional wastewater treatment methods. Moreover, enzymes immobilized onto these membranes have generated new avenues in wastewater purification technology. This review provides the latest information on laccases from diverse sources, their molecular framework and their mode of action. This report also gives information about various immobilization techniques and the application of membrane bioreactors to eliminate and biotransform hazardous contaminants. In a nutshell, laccases appear to be the most promising biocatalysts for green and cost-efficient wastewater treatment technologies.

Abstract
In this study, an amino-functionalized magnetic silica microsphere material (Fe3O4-SiO2-NH2) was prepared. Using glutaraldehyde as a cross-linking agent, Trametes versicolor laccase was adsorbed-covalently bonded and immobilized on the material to prepare Laccase @ Fe3O4-SiO2. In addition, the materials were characterized and analysed by SEM, TEM, XRD, FT-IR and VSM. Finally, the thermal inactivation dynamics of immobilized laccase in polar/non-polar/toxic systems and the adsorption and degradation of 2,4-DCP were studied. The results showed that Laccase @ Fe3O4-SiO2 under the optimal conditions (pH 6, temperature 65°C, initial concentration of 2,4-DCP 10 mg/L), the removal rate was as high as 81.6%. Moreover, compared with free laccase, immobilized laccase had good tolerance under low pH and high-temperature conditions, and storage stability was also greatly improved. After repeated use for 7 times, Laccase @ Fe3O4-SiO2 can still maintain 59% removal rate of 2,4-DCP, which gives it the potential for industrial applications.

Abstract
The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been attracted increasing attentions due to their carcinogenicity and teratogenicity. Adsorption is widely considered one of the most potential technologies for PAHs removal. In this study, we prepared two kinds of oxygen-rich biochar derived from waste wood to investigate the PAHs adsorption performance, and the molecular simulation was used to build the 16 priority PAHs, 23 nitrated PAHs, 9 oxygenated PAHs adsorption model. The surface adsorption performance of oxygen-rich biochar significantly depends on the pyrolysis conditions. The main out-comings demonstrated that the adsorption of naphthalene (C10H8) molecules first occurred, and the optimal adsorption positions of oxygen-rich biochar strongly adhered to functional groups of carboxyl and hydroxyl. Moreover, benzene ring, -COOH, and -CH3 of biochar were the main adsorbed functional groups for PAHs adsorption. The oxygen-rich biochar had the targeted-adsorption effect on PAHs removal especially symmetrical PAHs, and the targeted-adsorption mechanism was finally proposed. The research is beneficial to guide the removal of PAHs from polluted water and mitigate the environmental pollution caused by biomass waste mismanagement, simultaneously.

Abstract
Phenanthrene (PHE), as one of representative polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can cause serious adverse effects on human health, developing effective adsorbents to alleviate PHE contamination is in urgent demand. A novel Fe3O4-SiO2-Dimethoxydiphenylsilane (Fe3O4-SiO2-2DMDPS) nanocomposite was fabricated from encapsulation and grafting process. Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were served as preliminary matrix material, SiO2 was used to link the magnetic oxide and provide hydroxyl groups for proceeding the silane coupling reaction subsequently, and the aromatic rings in DMDPS could provide active sites for PHE adsorption via π-π interaction. SEM-EDS, TEM, BET, VSM, XRD, FTIR, Raman, Zeta potential, and XPS techniques were used to characterize magnetic nanocomposite. The prepared Fe3O4-SiO2-2DMDPS exhibited an excellent adsorption performance towards PHE, it could maintain 75.97% adsorption capacity after four regeneration cycles. Homogeneous adsorption acted crucial role in the whole adsorption process and film diffusion was the rate-controlling procedure. Theoretical calculations put forward the most favorable bonding modes between Fe3O4-SiO2-2DMDPS and PHE molecules, confirmed the π-π interaction was valid and it usually existed in the form of parallel-displaced. This work might aid us to develop effective modification strategy for Fe3O4 nanoparticles and expand its application in the PAHs removing field.

Abstract
The removal of toxic and carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from water is one of the most intractable environmental problems nowadays, because of their resistance to remediation. This work introduces a highly efficient, regenerable membrane for the removal of PAHs from water, featuring excellent filter performance and pH-driven release, thanks to the integration of a cavitand receptor in electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers. The role of the cavitand receptor is to act as molecular gripper for the uptake/release of PAHs. To this purpose, the deep cavity cavitand BenzoQxCav is designed and synthetized and its molecular structure is elucidated via X-Ray diffraction. The removal efficiency of the new adsorbent material toward the 16 priority PAHs is demonstrated via GC-MS analyses at ng L-1 concentration. A removal efficiency in the 32%, to 99% range is obtained. The regeneration of the membrane is performed by exploiting the pH-driven conformational switching of the cavitand between the vase form, where the PAHs uptake takes place, to the kite one, where the PAHs release occurs. The absorbance and regeneration capability of the membrane are successfully tested in four uptake/release cycles and the morphological stability.

Abstract
The technology based on electrospun membranes exhibits great potential in water treatment. This study presents experimental data involving the fabrication of nanofiber membranes with powdered activated carbon (PAC) and its application for the removal of natural organic matter. The fabricated membrane materials were characterized using various techniques. These include scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction analysis. The incorporation of PAC nanoparticles influences the structure and physicochemical properties as well as the transport and separation characteristics of the produced membranes. The applicability of the fabricated carbon-based membrane was tested in the filtration experiments. The fabricated membrane is characterized by a high NOM removal efficiency of 79% in the filtration process. Further modification of the membrane composition may result in a further increase in the efficiency of removing contaminants from water.

Abstract
In this study, biochar was generated from chicken manure by using a tube furnace under different temperatures (300, 500, and 700 °C), and the treatments were noted as J300, J500, and J700, respectively. In comparison, another type of biochar was prepared under 500 °C with a muffle furnace, and the treatment was noted as JM500. Biochar in treatment group J500 was subsequently modified with HNO3 and NaOH, and the treatments were noted as J500-HNO3 and J500-NaOH, respectively. The sorption efficiencies of naphthalene by the above six types of biochar were evaluated. Characteristic results showed that the surface pores of the biochar were improved with the increase of temperature, and biochar under the treatments J300, J500, J700, and JM500 experienced a high speed of adsorption within 1 h after the naphthalene adsorption started. The adsorption capacity of naphthalene increased with the increase of the initial concentration of naphthalene. Treatment J700 exhibited the largest adsorption capacity since its biochar surface pore structure was more fully developed with a crystal structure formed, and its specific surface area was increased by about 20 times compared to the original chicken manure. After biochar modification using HNO3 and NaOH, the infrared spectrum changed, and the adsorption active sites were increased. The biochar modification by HNO3 had a high naphthalene adsorption efficiency compared to NaOH. The order of adsorption capacity was as follows: J500 ≈ JM500 < J300 < J500-NaOH < J500-HNO3 < J700.

Abstract
Design of efficient enzyme carriers, where enzymes are conjugated to supports, has become an attractive research avenue. Immobilized enzymes are advantageous for practical applications because of their convenience in handling, ease of separation, and good reusability. However, the main challenge is that these traditional enzyme carriers are unable to regulate the enzymolysis efficiency or to protect the enzymes from proteolytic degradation, which restricts their effectiveness of enzymes in bioapplications. Enlightened by the stimuli-responsive channels in the natural cell membranes, conjugation of the enzymes within flat-sheet stimuli-responsive porous polymer membranes (SR-PPMs) as artificial cell membranes is an efficient strategy for circumventing this challenge. Controlled by the external stimuli, the multifunctional polymer chains, which are incorporated within the membranes and attached to the enzyme, change their structures to defend the enzyme from the external environmental disturbances and degradation by proteinases. Specifically, smart SR-PPM enzyme carriers (SR-PPMECs) not only permit convective substrate transfer through the accessible porous network, dramatically improving enzymolysis efficiency due to the adjustable pore sizes and the confinement effect, but they also act as molecular switches for regulating its permeability and selectivity. In this review, the concept of SR-PPMECs is presented. It covers the latest developments in design strategies of flat-sheet SR-PPFMs, fabrication protocols of SR-PPFMECs, strategies for the regulation of enzymolysis efficiency, and their cutting-edge bioapplications.

Abstract
An innovative ammoniation-hydrothermal method of biochar production was developed for the adsorption of phenanthrene (PHE) from aqueous solutions in this paper. Phragmites australis (PA) was used to produce biochar in a hydrothermal kettle at 280 °C in muffle furnace using urea as an ammoniation reagent. Characterizations were executed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, X-ray diffraction (XRD), elemental analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) to explore its morphological, physical, and chemical properties. Batch experiments of PHE adsorption were carried out to study the adsorption isotherms and kinetics. Quantum chemistry computational simulations were employed based on density functional theory (DFT) to establish and optimize adsorption configurations and analyze the biochar's structural effects on adsorption performance. Results showed that the ammoniation-hydrothermal method produced biochar with a higher surface area and a maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity of 1.97 mg/g. The adsorption fitted well with Freundlich isotherm model (R2 > 0.96) and Pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 > 0.82). Adsorption energy calculation revealed that the N functionalities, especially pyridine N in the N-doped biochar structure, exhibited stronger binding ability with PHE, which contributed most to the favorable adsorption ability of the ammoniation-hydrothermal biochar.

Abstract
Laccase is a multicopper oxidase containing four coppers as reaction sites, including one type 1, one type 2, and two type 3. We here provide the first experimental data showing that As (III) can be effectively removed from water and transformed to As (V) through reactions mediated by laccase with the presence of oxygen. To this end, the As (III) removal, As (V) yields, total protein, active laccase, and copper concentrations in the aqueous phase were determined, respectively. Additionally, electron paramagnetic resonance spectra and UV-vis spectra were applied to probe possible structural changes of the laccase during the reaction. The data offer the first evidence that laccase can be inactivated by As (III) attack thus leading to the release of type 2 copper. The released copper has no reactivity with the As (III). These findings provide new ideas into a significant pathway likely to master the environmental transformation of arsenite, and advance the understanding of laccase inactivation mechanisms, thus providing a foundation for optimization of enzyme-based processes and potential development for removal and remediation of arsenite contamination in the environment.

Abstract
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were tuned with supermagnetic Fe3O4 (M-HNTs) and functionalized with γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) (A-M-HNTs). Gluteraldehyde (GTA) was linked to A-M-HNTs (A-M-HNTs-GTA) and explored for covalent laccase immobilization. The structural characterization of M-HNTs, A-M-HNTs, and A-M-HNTs-GTA-immobilized laccase (A-M-HNTs-GTA-Lac) was determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field-emission high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, a magnetic property measurement system, and thermogavimetric analyses. A-M-HNTs-GTA-Lac gave 90.20% activity recovery and a loading capability of 84.26 mg/g, with highly improved temperature and storage stabilities. Repeated usage of A-M-HNTs-GTA-Lac revealed a remarkably consistent relative activity of 80.49% until the ninth cycle. The A-M-HNTs-GTA-Lac gave consistent redox-mediated sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation up to the eighth cycle. In the presence of guaiacol, A-M-HNTs-GTA-Lac gave elevated SMX degradation compared with 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and syrinialdehyde. Therefore, the A-M-HNTs can serve as supermagnetic amino-functionalized nanoreactors for biomacromolecule immobilization. The obtained A-M-HNTs-GTA-Lac is an environmentally friendly biocatalyst for effective degradation of micropollutants, such as SMX, and can be easily retrieved from an aqueous solution by a magnet after decontamination of pollutants in water and wastewater.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic micro pollutants which are persistent compounds in the environment due to their hydrophobic nature. Concerns over their adverse effects in human health and environment have resulted in extensive studies on various types of PAHs removal methods. Sorption is one of the widely used methods as PAHs possess a great sorptive ability into the solid media and their low aqueous solubility property. Several adsorbent media such as activated carbon, biochar, modified clay minerals have been largely used to remove PAHs from aqueous solution and to immobilise PAHs in the contaminated soils. According to the past studies, very high removal efficiency could be achieved using the adsorbents such as removal efficiency of activated carbon, biochar and modified clay mineral were 100%, 98.6% and >99%, respectively. PAHs removal efficiency or adsorption/absorption capacity largely depends on several parameters such as particle size of the adsorbent, pH, temperature, solubility, salinity including the production process of adsorbents. Although many studies have been carried out to remove PAHs using the sorption process, the findings have not been consolidated which potentially hinder to get the correct information for future study and to design the sorption method to remove PAHs. Therefore, this paper summarized the adsorbent media which have been used to remove PAHs especially from aqueous solutions including the factor affecting the sorption process reported in 142 literature published between 1934 and 2015.

Abstract
Fabrication of enzyme-carrying polymeric nanofibers by electrospinning. PVA nanofibers structure and size were not affected by the addition of enzyme. The electrospun CGTase/PVA nanofibers show excellent immobilisation efficiency.
Immobilisation of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) on nanofibres was demonstrated. CGTase solution (1% v/v) and PVA (8 wt%) solution were mixed followed by electrospinning (−9 kV, 3 h). CGTase/PVA nanofibres with an average diameter of 176 ± 46 nm were successfully produced. The nanofibres that consist of immobilised CGTase were crosslinked with glutaraldehyde vapour. A CGTase/PVA film made up from the same mixture and treated the same way was used as a control experiment. The immobilised CGTase on nanofibres showed superior performance with nearly a 2.5 fold higher enzyme loading and 31% higher enzyme activity in comparison with the film.

Abstract
It is known that 17β-estradiol (E2) can be transformed by reactions mediated by some oxidoreductases such as laccase in water. Whether or how such reactions can happen in soil is however unknown although they may significantly impact the environmental fate of E2 that is introduced to soil by land application of animal wastes. We herein studied the reaction of E2 in a model soil mediated by laccase, and found that the reaction behaviors differ significantly from those in water partly because of the dramatic difference in laccase stability. We also examined E2 transformation in soil using (14)C-labeling in combination with soil organic matter extraction and size exclusion chromatography, which indicated that applied (14)C radioactivity was preferably bound to humic acids. The study provides useful information for understanding the environmental fate of E2 and for developing a novel soil remediation strategy via enzyme-enhanced humification reactions.

Abstract
The purpose of this review work is to give an overview of the research reported on bioprocesses for the treatment of domestic or industrial wastewaters (WW) containing pharmaceuticals. Conventional WW treatment technologies are not efficient enough to completely remove all pharmaceuticals from water. Indeed, these compounds are becoming an actual public health problem, because they are more and more present in underground and even in potable waters. Different types of bioprocesses are described in this work: from classical activated sludge systems, which allow the depletion of pharmaceuticals by bio-degradation and adsorption, to enzymatic reactions, which are more focused on the treatment of WW containing a relatively high content of pharmaceuticals and less organic carbon pollution than classical WW. Different aspects concerning the advantages of membrane bioreactors for pharmaceuticals removal are discussed, as well as the more recent studies on enzymatic membrane reactors to the depletion of these recalcitrant compounds.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2013; 258-259:116-23. [PMID: 23708454 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2013.04.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 78] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2013] [Revised: 04/15/2013] [Accepted: 04/29/2013] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
In this study, Iron oxide-alumina mixed nanocomposite fiber was prepared by electrospinning method and its performance was evaluated as a heavy metal ion adsorbent. Here boehmite nanoparticle was synthesized by sol-gel method and was impregnated in PVP-iron acetylacetonate solution in a ratio of 1:1:2. These boehmite impregnated polymer solution was electrospun to form nanocomposite polymer fiber. The electrospun nanofiber was sintered at 1000°C for converting it to pure oxide form for further application as adsorbent. Iron oxide-alumina mixed nanocomposite fiber was characterized by UV-vis-DRS, IR, SEM-EDX, TEM, BET and TGA-DTA analytical techniques. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to study the sorption behavior of Cu(2+), Pb(2+), Ni(2+) and Hg(2+) ions as a function of initial concentration, contact time and pH. The removal percentage was in the order of Cu(2+)<Pb(2+)<Ni(2+)<Hg(2+). The maximum sorption capacities by applying the Langmuir equation were found to be 4.98 mg/g for Cu(2+), 32.36 mg/g for Ni(2+), 23.75 mg/g for Pb(2+) and 63.69 mg/g for Hg(2+) ions. The regeneration studies of mixed nanocomposite adsorbents were also reported here.
