Abstract
Environmental contamination is aninsistent concern affecting human health and the ecosystem. Wastewater, containing heavy metals from industrial activities, significantly contributes to escalating water pollution. These metals can bioaccumulate in food chains, posing health risks even at low concentrations. Copper (Cu), an essential micronutrient, becomes toxic at high levels. Activities like mining and fungicide use have led to Copper contamination in soil, water, and sediment beyond safe levels. Copper widely used in industries, demands restraint of heavy metal ion release into wastewater for ecosystem ultrafiltration, membrane filtration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis, combat heavy metal pollution, with emphasis on copper.Physical and chemical approaches are efficient, large-scale feasibility may have drawbackssuch as they are costly, result in the production of sludge. In contrast, bioremediation, microbial intervention offers eco-friendly solutions for copper-contaminated soil. Bacteria and fungi facilitate these bioremediation avenues as cost-effective alternatives. This review article emphasizes on physical, chemical, and biological methods for removal of copper from the wastewater as well asdetailing microorganism's mechanisms to mobilize or immobilize copper in wastewater and soil.

Removal of Nutrients from Water Using Biosurfactant Micellar-Enhanced Ultrafiltration. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28041559. [PMID: 36838547 PMCID: PMC9966836 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28041559] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2023] Open
Abstract
The removal of NH4+, NO3-, and NH3- from wastewater can be difficult and expensive. Through physical, chemical, and biological processes, metals and nutrients can be extracted from wastewater. Very few scientific investigations have employed surfactants with high biodegradability, low toxicity, and suitability for ion removal from wastewater at different pH and salinity levels. This research employed a highly biodegradable biosurfactant generated from yeast (sophorolipid) through micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF). MEUF improves nutrient removal efficiency and reduces costs by using less pressure than reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF). The biosurfactant can be recovered after the removal of nutrient- and ion-containing micelles from the filtration membrane. During the experiment, numerous variables, including temperature, pH, biosurfactant concentration, pollutant ions, etc., were evaluated. The highest amount of PO43- was eliminated at a pH of 6.0, which was reported at 94.9%. Maximum NO3- removal occurred at 45.0 °C (96.9%), while maximum NH4+ removal occurred at 25.0 mg/L (94.5%). Increasing TMP to 200 kPa produced the maximum membrane flow of 226 L/h/m2. The concentrations of the contaminating ion and sophorolipid were insignificant in the permeate, demonstrating the high potential of this approach.

Abstract
The importance of lipopeptide micelles in environmental applications has been highlighted. These vessels exhibit various sizes, shapes, and surface properties under different environmental conditions. An in-depth understanding of the tunable assembling behavior of biosurfactant micelles is of great importance for their applications. However, a systematic review of such behaviors with assorted micro/nano micellar structures under given environmental conditions, particularly under low temperature and high salinity, remains untapped. Such impacts on their environmental applications have yet to be summarized. This review tried to fill the knowledge gaps by providing a comprehensive summary of the recent knowledge advancement in genetically regulated lipopeptides production, micelles associated decontamination mechanisms in low temperature and high salinity environments, and up-to-date environmental applications. This work is expected to deliver valuable insights to guide lipopeptide design and discovery. The mechanisms concluded in this study could inspire the forthcoming research efforts in the advanced environmental application of lipopeptide micelles.

Abstract
Concentration polarization is an important issue in micellar enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) of wastewater containing heavy metal ions at low surfactant concentrations. In this paper, we studied removal of Cd(Ⅱ) by cross flow MEUF at low sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) concentration levels, and the role of concentration polarization in flux decline and Cd(Ⅱ) rejection was emphasized. Concentration polarization resistance and SDS concentration near membrane were calculated to characterize concentration polarization. The results showed that SDS concentration near membrane was 13 mM when feed concentration was merely 0.8 mM. By combining phase diagram of SDS, structures of SDS micelles in concentration polarization layer were deduced and thin layer structure transformed to porous structure formed by accumulated globular micelles when SDS concentration increased. Although micelles formed in concentration polarization layer was responsible for flux decline, they also provided adsorption sites for Cd(Ⅱ).

Abstract
Surfactants widely exist in various kinds of wastewaters which could be treated by pressure-driven membrane separation (PDMS) techniques. Due to the special characteristics of surfactants, they may affect the performance of membrane filtration. Over the last two decades, there are a number of studies on treating wastewaters containing surfactants by PDMS. The current paper gives a review of the roles of surfactants in PDMS processes. The effects of surfactants on membrane performance were discussed via two aspects: influence of surfactants on membrane fouling and enhanced removal of pollutants by surfactants. The characteristics of surfactants in solution and at solid-liquid interface were summarized. Surfactants in membrane filtration processes cause membrane fouling mainly through adsorption, concentration polarization, pore blocking, and cake formation, and fouling degree may be influenced by various factors (feed water composition, membrane properties, and operation conditions). Furthermore, surfactants may also have a positive effect on membrane performance. Enhanced removal of various kinds of pollutants by PDMS in the presence of surfactants has been summarized, and the removal mechanism has been revealed. Based on the current reports, further studies on membrane fouling caused by surfactants and enhanced removal of pollutants by surfactant-aided membrane filtration were also proposed.
