[PMID: 38930973 PMCID: PMC11206743 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29122908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The efficient segregation of radioactive nuclides from low-level radioactive liquid waste (LLRW) is paramount for nuclear emergency protocols and waste minimization. Here, we synthesized Na3FePO4CO3 (NFPC) via a one-pot hydrothermal method and applied it for the first time to the selective separation of Sr2+ from simulated LLRW. Static adsorption experimental results indicated that the distribution coefficient Kd remained above 5000 mL·g-1, even when the concentration of interfering ions was more than 40 times that of Sr2+. Furthermore, the removal efficiency of Sr2+ showed no significant change within the pH range of 4 to 9. The adsorption of Sr2+ fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model, with an equilibrium time of 36 min and a maximum adsorption capacity of 99.6 mg·g-1. Notably, the adsorption capacity was observed to increment marginally with an elevation in temperature. Characterization analyses and density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidated the adsorption mechanism, demonstrating that Sr2+ initially engaged in an ion exchange reaction with Na+. Subsequently, Sr2+ coordinated with four oxygen atoms on the NFPC (100) facet, establishing a robust Sr-O bond via orbital hybridization.

Abstract
mercury emission control from flue gas is a crucial issue for environment protection. Alumina is an important alkali metal oxide for mercury adsorption in particulate, meanwhile is the potential adsorbent for mercury removal. The cognition on mercury heterogeneous reaction mechanism with alumina in presence of hydrogen chloride is inadequate. In this work, the DFT calculation was applied to detect mercury's chlorides adsorption on α-Al2O3 (001) surface, the Bader charge analysis was used to estimate electron transfer and the transition state theory was used to clarify reaction pathway and energy barrier, besides, the kinetic analysis based on Gibbs free energy was conducted to study the impact of temperature on chemical reaction. The results show that Hg can be captured by weak chemisorption on α-Al2O3 (001) surface with the adsorption energy of -56.37 kJ/mol, HgCl, HgCl2 are intensively bonded on surface with adsorption energies of -276.90 kJ/mol and -231.87 kJ/mol, the surface unsaturated Al and O atoms are the active sites. Charge transfer and PDOS analysis prove that the forming of covalent bonding is responsible for Hg species adsorption. Two possible reaction pathways of Hg oxidization to HgCl2 are discussed, in which a smaller energy barrier of 0.1 eV implies the dominant pathway 1 via Eley-Rideal mechanism: two adsorbed HCl molecules dissociate on surface and then react with one Hg atom. High temperature can promote the reaction rate constants of pathway 1 and 2, but is only favorable for reducing energy barrier of pathway 2.

Abstract
Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash is defined as a kind of hazardous waste because of its high levels of multiple pollutants. The main component of MSWI fly ash is CaClOH, and the characteristics have not achieved consensus. And density functional theory (DFT) was used to calculate the formation process of CaClOH in this study, which mainly included HCl adsorption on CaO (0 0 1) surface and Ca(OH)2 (0 0 1) surface and the surface reaction process. The reaction mechanism was investigated. The results showed that the maximum adsorption energies of HCl on CaO and Ca(OH)2 surfaces reached - 195.17 kJ/mol and - 83.48 kJ/mol, respectively, representing strong chemisorption. The chemisorption process was shown as the adsorption of H atom on O site, and the adsorption capacity was reflected in the adsorption range of O site. The significant electron density overlap between O site and H atom meant that a new chemical bond formed, which made the adsorption structure stable. The adsorption energy of multi-HCl adsorption on the crystal surfaces was not proportional to the number of HCl molecule, indicating that the adsorption processes were influenced by each other. After surface reaction, the H-Cl bond was broken completely, and the structure of CaO and Ca(OH)2 changed to new structures. According to transition state (TS) search, the formation of CaClOH had a higher priority, easier than that of CaCl2, explaining the presence of CaClOH in fly ash. The study provides helpful information for the solidification treatment of fly ash.

First principles insights into the interaction mechanism of iron doped thermally activated kaolinite with Cd and Pb pollutants in organic solid waste incineration flue gas. WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2023; 171:365-374.

Abstract
Incineration of organic solid wastes is accompanied by the heavy metal emission through flue gas. As an inexpensive and efficient heavy metal adsorbent, the improvement of kaolinite adsorption performance for heavy metals has drawn widespread interests. In this work, the interaction mechanisms between various kaolinite surfaces and Cd/Pb species are explored through first principles calculations. The results show that the combination of Fe doping and dehydroxylation enhances the activity of kaolinite surfaces, analysis of adsorption configurations reveal that both Cd and Pb species are immobilized through chemisorption on the -H + Fe surface. At the microscopic level, further electronic structure analysis shows that the composite modified kaolinite surface has more electron transfer and more pronounced orbital hybridization and overlap compared to the original kaolinite surface, demonstrating that the modification means of dehydroxylation and Fe doping indeed enhanced the activity of the kaolinite surface, especially the activity of the O atoms in the vicinity of the Fe atom and that the O atoms are more efficiently bonded as ionic connecting Cd/Pb species for the purpose of trapping Cd/Pb species. This study points out the research direction and provides basic theoretical support for the development of new kaolinite adsorbents in the future.

Abstract
As a national pilot city for solid waste disposal and resource reuse, Dongguan in Guangdong Province aims to vigorously promote the high-value utilization of solid waste and contribute to the sustainable development of the Greater Bay Area. In this study, life cycle assessment (LCA) coupled with principal component analysis (PCA) and the random forest (RF) algorithm was applied to assess the environmental impact of multi-source solid waste disposal technologies to guide the environmental protection direction. In order to improve the technical efficiency and reduce pollution emissions, some advanced technologies including carbothermal reduction‒oxygen-enriched side blowing, directional depolymerization‒flocculation demulsification, anaerobic digestion and incineration power generation, were applied for treating inorganic waste, organic waste, kitchen waste and household waste in the park. Based on the improved techniques, we proposed a cyclic model for multi-source solid waste disposal. Results of the combined LCA-PCA-RF calculation indicated that the key environmental load type was human toxicity potential (HTP), came from the technical units of carbothermal reduction and oxygen-enriched side blowing. Compared to the improved one, the cyclic model was proved to reduce material and energy inputs by 66%-85% and the pollution emissions by 15%-88%. To sum up, the environmental impact assessment and systematic comparison suggest a cyclic mode for multi-source solid waste treatments in the park, which could be promoted and contributed to the green and low-carbon development of the city.

Abstract
Sodium humate (SH) is one of the derivatives humic substances, which can be utilized for heavy metal removal from water due to its containing plenty of functional groups. In this study, a double network hydrogel SH/polyacrylamide (SH/PAM) was synthesized by a simple free-radical polymerization and used for Cu2+ and Pb2+ removal from water. The adsorption process can be well described by Langmuir-Freundlich model, indicating that both physical and chemical adsorption were involved. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterization demonstrated that complexation was the main mechanism for the adsorption. Two-dimensional correlation analysis of FTIR (2D-FTIR-COS) results showed that the variation order of functional groups during Cu2+ and Pb2+ adsorption in the following order: COOH ≈ -CO > -OH > C-O and -COOH ≈ C-O > -CO > -OH, respectively. According to the density functional theory (DFT) calculation results, the O atom of SH in the COO- was the main adsorption site. Meanwhile, the adsorption energy of Pb2+ was more negative than that of Cu2+ and the orbital hybridization between O atom of SH and Pb2+ was denser than that of Cu2+, which suggested that SH/PAM had a stronger combining capacity for Pb2+ than Cu2+. Therefore, the adsorption capacity for Pb2+ was larger than Cu2+. Moreover, the removal efficiencies are 30.2% for Al, 98.79% for Cu, 99.0% for Fe, 17.2% for Mn, 93.4% for Pb, and 62.4% for Zn in actual acid mine drainage using 6 g L-1 adsorbent. Collectively, this study not only provided a new adsorbent for heavy metal removal but also explicated the mechanism of heavy metal removal by SH from molecule and electron perspective, which is helpful for the application of SH in the environmental field.

Abstract
Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash is classified as hazardous waste and requires proper treatments. Sintering of MSWI fly ash for the production of lightweight aggregate (LWA) is a promising treatment technology, while the dependence on natural bloating clay to produce high quality LWA has limited its wide application. In this study, by using SiC as a bloating agent, normal clay could be used to produce super-lightweight aggregate (bulk density <500 kg/m3) with MSWI fly ash. Effects of SiC addition amount, sintering temperature and duration on LWA performance were studied. The results showed that LWA with SiC addition of 0.1-0.5 wt% had significant expansion at sintering temperature of 1120 °C-1160 °C. The optimal conditions were 0.3 wt% SiC addition and sintering at 1120 °C for 30 min, and the bulk density could reach 212 kg/m3 with other properties meeting the LWA standard (GB/T 17431.1-2010). Further, the heavy metal leaching toxicity was significantly decreased after sintering and met the MSWI fly ash utilization standard (HJ 1134-2020). The X-ray diffraction results revealed the formation of a complex diopside-based phase after sintering. This study provides a new approach for recycling MSWI fly ash in LWA without dependence on specific clay resources, and makes this technology wider applicability.

Abstract
A new strategy that simultaneous use of KHCO3 activated biochar and nano-MgO incorporation for Pb2+ and Cd2+ removal from water was raised. After activating by KHCO3, the BC showed a higher surface area and could carry more MgO nanoparticles the BC owned. The synthesized MgO-K-BC had a large adsorption capacity for Pb2+ (1625.5 mg/g) and Cd2+ (480.8 mg/g). Multiple characterization and comparative test have been performed to demonstrate that ion-exchange, precipitation, and complexation are the main mechanisms for Pb2+ and Cd2+ removal by MgO-K-BC. In order to further explore the adsorption mechanism in-depth, the density functional theory (DFT) calculation combined with experimental results were performed. The O-top of MgO was the most stable adsorption site for Pb2+/Cd2+ adsorption compared with other adsorption sites (Mg-top, bridge, and hollow). In addition, the results of charge density maps and projected density of state (PDOS) showed that the overlap of electron cloud and orbits between MgO and Pb2+ were denser than Cd2+, indicating that MgO-K-BC had a stronger affinity for Pb2+ than Cd2+, so that, MgO-K-BC had a higher adsorption capacity for Pb2+ than Cd2+. This work provides a deep understand of the mechanism for heavy metals adsorption by metal oxide and a practical and theoretical guidance for adsorbent preparation with high adsorption ability for heavy metal.

Abstract
Municipal solid waste incineration fly ash is classified as the hazardous waste because of its high levels of heavy metals alkali chlorides, and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins. Thermal treatment is widely used for fly ash treatment because of its advantages of reduction and harmless. The transformation behaviors of chlorine and metal ions during the thermal treatment of fly ash has a significant impact on the harmless and resource of fly ash. At present, the migration behaviors of chlorine and metal ions during thermal treatment of fly ash is not clearly demonstrated. In this manuscript, the phase compositions, transformation behaviors, the variation of mass and content of chlorine and various metal ions were analyzed through diverse characterization methods under different sintering temperatures to understand the migration behaviors of chlorine and metal ions during thermal treatment. Roasting experiments showed that the migration behaviors of heavy metals and chlorides were consistent. The chlorine, sodium, potassium and heavy metal ions can be removed sharply while the calcium, aluminum, magnesium and iron were decreased slightly when the roasting temperature was above 750 °C. The findings also suggested that removed chlorides were soluble chlorides and unstable crystals in municipal solid waste incineration fly ash were inclined to formed steady structure under high temperature. The structure of roasted fly ash became denser and generated ceramic-like particle due to thermal agglomeration and chemical reactions.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) species trigger serious poisoning of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts. To improve the Pb resistance ability, revealing the impact mechanism of Pb species on the commercial SCR catalysts from a molecular level is of great significance. Herein, first-principles calculations were applied to unveil the Pb adsorption mechanism on the vanadium-based catalysts, the results were also compared with the previous experimental findings. The intrinsic interaction mechanism between Pb and catalyst components was interpreted by clarifying the change of the catalyst electronic structures (including charge transfer, bond formation situations, and active sites reactivities). It is found that the adsorption of Pb species belongs to chemisorption, evident electron transfer with the catalyst surface is inspected and intense charge transfer indicates strong adsorption. A remarkable interaction with the V = O active sites occurs and stable Pb-O bonds are formed, which significantly changes the electronic structures of the V = O sites and inhibits the NH3 adsorption, thus suppressing the SCR activity. Finally, thermodynamic analysis was applied to elucidate the temperature influence on Pb adsorption. It is found that Pb adsorption on catalysts cannot proceed spontaneously over 500 K. At higher temperatures the adsorption is inhibited and the Pb species become less stable, which partially explains why the Pb-poisoning effect at high temperatures is relatively moderate than that at low temperatures.
