Abstract
A novel cellulose composite (denoted as PEI@MMA-1) with porous interconnected structure was prepared by adsorbing methyl cellulose (MC) onto microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and cross-linking polyethyleneimine (PEI) with MCC by the action of epichlorohydrin, which had the excellent adsorption property, wettability and elasticity. The performances of PEI@MMA-1 composite for removing tetracycline (TC), Cu2+ and coexistent pollutant (TC and Cu2+ mixture) were systematically explored. For single TC or Cu2+ contaminant, the maximum adsorption capacities were 75.53 and 562.23 mg/g at 30 °C, respectively, while in the dual contaminant system, they would form complexes and Cu2+ could play a "bridge" role to remarkably promote the adsorption of TC with the maximum adsorption capacities of 281.66 and 253.58 mg/g for TC and Cu2+. In addition, the adsorption kinetics, isotherms and adsorption mechanisms of single-pollutant and dual-pollutant systems have been thoroughly investigated. Theoretical calculations indicated that the amide group of TC molecule with the assistance of Cu2+ interacted with the hydroxyl group of PEI@MMA-1 composite to enhance the TC adsorption capacity. Cycle regeneration and fixed bed column experiments revealed that the PEI@MMA-1 possessed the excellent stability and utility. Current PEI@MMA-1 cellulose composite exhibited a promising application for remediation of heavy metals and antibiotics coexistence wastewater.

Abstract
Nowadays, NOR-containing wastewater has placed huge pressure on global ecology. In this study, a chemically-modified chitosan-based polymer was cross-linked with magnetite to prepare a novel magnetic composite adsorbent named Fe3O4/CS-P(AM-SSS) for norfloxacin (NOR) removal. The preparation conditions were optimized by single factor experiments and response surface methodology. A series of characterization analyses were carried out on the morphology, structure, and properties of Fe3O4/CS-P(AM-SSS), verifying that Fe3O4/CS-P(AM-SSS) was successfully prepared. Batch adsorption experiments showed that NOR was efficiently removed by Fe3O4/CS-P(AM-SSS), with a broad pH applicability of 3-10, short adsorption equilibrium time of 60 min, maximum adsorption capacity of 268.79 mg/g, and high regeneration rate of 86% after eight adsorption-desorption cycles. Due to the three-dimensional network structure and abundant functional groups provided by modified chitosan polymer, the superior adsorption capability of Fe3O4/CS-P(AM-SSS) was achieved through electrostatic interaction, π-π stacking, hydrophobic interaction, and hydrogen bonding. Adsorption process was exothermic and well fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isothermal model. The presence of cations had a slight inhibitory effect on NOR adsorption, while humic acid nearly had no effect. In model swine wastewater, 90.3% NOR was removed by Fe3O4/CS-P(AM-SSS). Therefore, with these superior characteristics, Fe3O4/CS-P(AM-SSS) was expected to be an ideal material for treating NOR-containing wastewater in the future.

Abstract
Antibiotic exist in various states after entering agricultural soil through the application of manure, including the aqueous state (I), which can be directly absorbed by plants, and the auxiliary organic extraction state (III), which is closely associated with the pseudo-permanence of antibiotics. However, effective analytical methods for extracting and affecting factors on fractions of different antibiotic states remain unclear. In this study, KCl, acetonitrile/Na2EDTA-McIlvaine buffer, and acetonitrile/water were successively used to extract states I, II, and III of 21 antibiotics in soil, and the recovery efficiency met the quantitative requirements. Random forest classification and variance partitioning analysis revealed that dissolved organic matter, pH, and organic matter were important factors affecting the recovery efficiency of antibiotic in states I, II, and III, respectively. Additionally, 65-day spiked soil experiments combined with Mantel test analysis suggested that pH, organic acids, heavy metals, and noncrystalline minerals differentially affected antibiotic type and state. Importantly, a structural equation model indicated that organic acids play a crucial role in the fraction of antibiotic states. Overall, this study reveals the factors influencing the fraction of different antibiotic states in soil, which is helpful for accurately assessing their ecological risk.

Abstract
Among the many heavy metal pollution treatment agents, carbonate materials show strong flexibility and versatility by virtue of their high adsorption capacity for heavy metals and the characteristics of multiple and simple modification methods. It shows good potential for development. This review summarizes the application of carbonate materials in the treatment of heavy metal pollution according to the research of other scholars. It mainly relates to the application of surface-modified, activated, and nano-sized carbonate materials in the treatment of heavy metal pollution in water. Natural carbonate minerals and composite carbonate minerals solidify and stabilize heavy metals in soil. Solidification of heavy metals in hazardous waste solids is by MICP. There are four aspects of calcium carbonate oligomers curing heavy metals in fly ash from waste incineration. The mechanism of treating heavy metals by carbonate in different media was discussed. However, in the complex environment where multiple types of pollutants coexist, questions on how to maintain the efficient processing capacity of carbonate materials and how to use MICP to integrate heavy metal fixation and seepage prevention in solid waste base under complex and changeable natural environment deserve our further consideration. In addition, the use of carbonate materials for the purification of trace radioactive wastewater and the safe treatment of trace radioactive solid waste are also worthy of further exploration.

Constructing N,S co-doped network biochar confined CoFe 2O 4 magnetic nanoparticles adsorbent: Insights into the synergistic and competitive adsorption of Pb 2+ and ciprofloxacin. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 343:123178. [PMID: 38103717 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.123178] [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: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
To solve the problem of biochar lack of adsorption sites for heavy metal ions and the difficulty of recycling, CoFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles confined in nitrogen, sulfur co-doped 3D network biochar matrix (C-CoFe2O4/N,S-BC) was designed and fabricated successfully. The obtained C-CoFe2O4/N,S-BC displays remarkable adsorption performance for both Pb2+ and ciprofloxacin (CIP) removal at the single or binary system due to the role of N,S as metal ion anchoring compared to the N,S-free sample (CoFe2O4/BC). N,S co-doped BC not only participates in adsorption reaction but also effectively inhibites the agglomeration of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles and increases the active sites as a carrier at the same time. In the single system, CoFe2O4/N,S-BC demonstrates a fast adsorption rate (equilibrium time: 30 min) and high adsorption capacity (224.77 mg g-1 for Pb2+, 400.11 mg g-1 for CIP) towards Pb2+ and CIP. The adsorption process is befitted pseudo-second-order model, and the equilibrium data are in great pertinence with Langmuir model. In the binary system, the maximum adsorption capacity of CoFe2O4/N,S-BC for Pb2+ and CIP is 244.80 mg g-1 (CIP: 10.00 mg L-1) and 418.42 mg g-1 (Pb2+: 10.00 mg L-1), respectively. The adsorption mechanism is discussed based on the experimental results. Moreover, C-CoFe2O4/N,S-BC shows good practical water treatment capacity, anti-interference ability and stable reusability (the removal efficiency>80% after eight cycles). The rapid, multifunctional, reusable, and easily separable adsorption properties make C-CoFe2O4/N,S-BC promising for efficient environmental remediation. This study also offers a viable method for the construction of adsorption material for complex wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this study, biochars (BCs) derived from corn stalk treated at various pyrolysis temperatures (350-950 °C) were prepared and then loaded with Cu2+ to form highly efficient algaecide, i.e. Cu2+-doped BC composites (Cu-BCs). The results showed BCs pyrolyzed at higher temperatures suppressed the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa in the order of BC550 ≫ BC750 > BC950, while BC350 accelerated cell growth due to the release of inorganic nutrients. The difference could be attributed to the physicochemical characteristics, including specific surface area, adsorption capacity of nutrients and the presence of particularly persistent free radicals. Furthermore, Cu-BCs exhibited the improved inactivation performance, but the 72 h growth inhibition rates and reaction activities of Cu-BCs were still influenced by the Cu2+ loading ratio and pyrolysis temperature. These results, reported for the first time, demonstrated the algae inactivation efficiency of pristine BCs, and Cu-BCs were principally manipulated by the biochar pyrolysis temperature.

Abstract
Pyrolysis is a promising method to treat antibiotic fermentation residue (AFR), a hazardous waste in China, with the benefits of detoxification and resource recycling. However, the application of the AFR-derived biochar has been limited yet, restricting the use of pyrolysis to treat AFR. Herein, for the first time, we reported the use of magnetic biochars derived from vancomycin fermentation residue to rapidly and efficiently co-adsorb multiple heavy metals from diverse types of water with complex matrices. The biochar prepared at 700 °C (labeled as VBC700) exhibited high affinity and selectivity for multiple heavy metals, especially for Ag(I), Hg(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II). The kinetics for Ag(I), Hg(II), and Pb(II) were ultrafast with an equilibrium time of only 5 min, while those for Cu(II) were relatively slower. The maximum adsorption capacity calculated from the Langmuir model for Ag(I), Hg(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II) reached 177.4, 105.9, 387.1, 124.5 mg/g, respectively, which were superior to much previously reported adsorbents. Impressively, Na(I), K(I), Ca(II), Mg(II), and salinity did not affect the capture of these heavy metals, and thus >99% of Ag(I), Pb(II), and Cu(II) were concurrently removed from complex water matrices including seawater, which has rarely been reported before. Furthermore, VBC700 remained high adsorption performance at pH ≥ 3. The adsorption mechanisms included ion exchange, precipitation, and inner-sphere complexation. Overall, the results demonstrate that VBC700 would be an excellent adsorbent to co-capture multiple heavy metals from diverse types of water, highlighting the feasibility of using pyrolysis to achieve a win-win goal for AFR management and heavy metal pollution control.

Abstract
Many industrial wastewaters contain an appreciable amount of toxic copper (Cu(II)) that needs to be properly treated before discharging into receiving water body. Adsorption can effectively remove Cu(II) with optimized parameters. This study investigates the critical pyrolysis parameters of biochar derived from agricultural waste. Optimized biochar showed maximum Cu(II) adsorption capacity of 60.7, 36.8, and 35.5 mg g-1 by PLB, SBB, and CWB at pyrolysis temperatures of 555 ℃, 559 ℃, 507 ℃, respectively, compared with commercial activated carbon (CAC, 40.8 mg g-1). Surface characterization confirmed surface complexation, electrostatic interaction, and cation exchange capacity as Cu(II) removal mechanisms. The presence of humic acid reduced the Cu(II) removal of both CAC and optimized biochars. Optimized PLB displayed high reusability (87% Cu(II) removal efficiency) after five consecutive cycles using pressure cooker regeneration. With excellent Cu(II) adsorption capacity and reusability, the investigated biochars show high applicability potential to Cu(II)-laden wastewater treatment.
