Abstract
In response to the escalating concerns over antibiotics in aquatic environments, the photo-Fenton reaction has been spotlighted as a promising approach to address this issue. Herein, a novel heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst (Fe3O4/WPC) with magnetic recyclability was synthesized through a facile two-step process that included in situ growth and subsequent carbonization treatment. This catalyst was utilized to expedite the photocatalytic decomposition of ciprofloxacin (CIP) assisted by H2O2. Characterization results indicated the successful anchoring of MIL-101(Fe)-derived spindle-like Fe3O4 particles in the multi-channeled wood-converted porous carbon (WPC) scaffold. The as-synthesized hybrid photocatalysts, boasting a substantial specific surface area of 414.90 m2·g-1 and an excellent photocurrent density of 0.79 μA·cm-2, demonstrated superior photo-Fenton activity, accomplishing approximately 100% degradation of CIP within 120 min of ultraviolet-light exposure. This can be attributed to the existence of a heterojunction between Fe3O4 and WPC substrate that promotes the migration and enhances the efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Meanwhile, the Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox circulation and mesoporous wood carbon in the catalyst synergistically enhance the utilization of H2O and accelerate the formation of •OH radicals, leading to heightened degradation efficiency of CIP. Experiments utilizing chemical trapping techniques have demonstrated that •OH radicals are instrumental in the CIP degradation process. Furthermore, the study on reusability indicated that the efficiency in removing CIP remained at 89.5% even through five successive cycles, indicating the structural stability and excellent recyclability of Fe3O4/WPC. This research presented a novel pathway for designing magnetically reusable MOFs/wood-derived composites as photo-Fenton catalysts for actual wastewater treatment.

[PMID: 38184084 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141132] [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: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/08/2024]
Abstract
Examining the adsorption efficiency of individual contaminants on microplastics (MPs) is resource-intensive and time-consuming. To address this challenge, combined laboratory adsorption experiments with model simulations were performed to investigate the adsorption capacities and mechanisms of MPs before and after aging. Our adsorption experiments revealed that aged polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) MPs exhibited increased adsorption capacity for benzene, phenol, and naphthalene. Additionally, density functional theory (DFT) simulations provided insights into changes in adsorption sites, adsorption energy, and charge density on MPs. The π bond of the benzene ring emerged as a pivotal factor in the adsorption process, with van der Waals forces exerting dominant influence. For instance, the adsorption energy of benzene on pristine PE was -0.01879 eV. When oxidized groups, such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, and carboxyl, on the surface of aged PE became the adsorption sites, the adsorption energy increased to -0.06976, -0.04781, and -0.04903 eV, respectively. Regions with unoxidized functional groups also exhibited higher adsorption energies than pristine PE. These results indicated that aged PE had a stronger affinity for benzene compared to pristine PE, enhancing its adsorption. Charge density difference and energy density of states corroborated this observation, revealing larger π-bond charge accumulation areas for benzene on aged PE, suggesting stronger dipole interactions and enhanced adsorption. Similar trends were observed for phenol and naphthalene. In summary, the DFT calculations aligned with the adsorption experiment findings, confirming the effectiveness of simulation methods in predicting changes in the adsorption performance of aged MPs.

Magnetic porous carbon material derived from imine-linked covalent organic frameworks for magnetic solid phase extraction of trace chlorine-containing herbicides in soil. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1713:464497.

Abstract
Here, imine-linked covalent organic frameworks coated Fe3O4 microspheres were fabricated and employed as the self-template to prepare magnetic porous carbon material. The magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) performance of such magnetic covalent organic frameworks derived porous carbons (CMCOFs) were studied for the first time, and the improved MSPE performance was verified. The variations of chemical and material properties in the carbonization processes were studied, and it was found that the CMCOFs carbonated at 400°C exhibited highest adsorption efficiencies for chlorine-containing herbicides due to the formation of nitrile components at this stage. The CMCOFs retained high adsorption efficiencies (above 90 %) to chlorine-containing herbicides at wide pH range (3-12) and high salt concentration. The CMCOFs-based MSPE coupled with HPLC technique was in good potential for analysis of trace chlorine-containing herbicides in soil samples. Under the optimized conditions, this approach displayed short extraction and elution time (5 and 8 min) and low limits of detection (0.35-5.5 ng/mL) for chlorine-containing herbicides. The recoveries of spiked analytes and the relative standard deviations in real soil samples were 81.86 %-110.9 % and less than 5.92 %, respectively. This study provides an efficient method for the analysis of trace chlorine-containing herbicides in complex samples, as well as give some inspiration on material modulation by controlled carbonization to achieve improved sorption performances.

Abstract
The severe hazards on ecological environment and human body caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have attracted worldwide substantial attention. In this research, a series of novel modified Universitetet i Oslo-67 (UiO-67) with water resistance were prepared and characterized, which had modified by benzoic acid and dopamine hydrochloride (67-ben-DH). On this basis, the adsorption performance, adsorption kinetics, defect engineering and water resistance of adsorbent were investigated. The results indicated that the excellent pore structure and specific surface area of 67-ben-DH-6 (molar ratio of Zr4+ to DH was 1:6) were retained while the adsorption performance and water resistance of the adsorbent were improved. Due to more defects, excellent adsorption diffusion and strong π-π interactions of 67-ben-DH-6, it performed the maximum adsorption capacity of toluene (793 mg g-1). Furthermore, the outstanding water resistance was attributed to the fact that N element of DH reduced the affinity of the adsorbent with water. Finally, the density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that the adsorbent 67-ben-DH-6 had the maximum adsorption energy for toluene (-99.4 kJ mol-1) and the minimum adsorption energy for water (-17.8 kJ mol-1). Thus, the potential mechanism of 67-ben-DH for efficient toluene adsorption and water resistance was verified from a microscopic perspective.

Abstract
The detrimental impact of volatile organic compounds on the surroundings is widely acknowledged, and effective solutions must be sought to mitigate their pollution. Adsorption treatment is a cost-effective, energy-saving, and flexible solution that has gained popularity. Biomass is an inexpensive, naturally porous material with exceptional adsorbent properties. This article examines current research on volatile organic compounds adsorption using biomass, including the composition of these compounds and the physical (van der Waals) and chemical mechanisms (Chemical bonding) by which porous materials adsorb them. Specifically, the strategic modification of the surface chemical functional groups and pore structure is explored to facilitate optimal adsorption, including pyrolysis, activation, heteroatom doping and other methods. It is worth noting that biomass adsorbents are emerging as a highly promising strategy for green treatment of volatile organic compounds pollution in the future. Overall, the findings signify that biomass modification represents a viable and competent approach for eliminating volatile organic compounds from the environment.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials, NU-1000(Zr) and Fe(III)-doped NU-1000(Zr), were prepared through the hydrothermal method and used to remove methylbenzene in this work. The pore structure, crystal structure, adsorption capacity, adsorption heat, and adsorption density of Fe(III)-doped NU-1000(Zr) were analyzed based on the experimental and Giant Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation methods. The results show that Fe3+ has a uniform distribution and a stable structure after NU-1000(Zr) was modified with Fe3+. The adsorption-penetration experiments of NU-1000 doped with different concentrations of Fe3+ have shown that the adsorption capacity of methylbenzene on the material surface is up to 231 mg g-1 at Fe/Zr = 0.1, which is due to the less doping of Fe elements and more defective sites in the structure. The GCMC simulation shows that NU-1000(Zr) and Fe(III)-NU-1000(Zr) adsorbed methylbenzene through π-π interaction, and the adsorption effect is good and close to the experimental result. The conclusions of this paper provide important support for the modification of MOF materials and the removal of methylbenzene.
