Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) exhibits a strong adsorption capacity for the removal of heavy metal ions from liquids, making it a topic of increasing interest among researchers. However, a significant challenge persists in the preparation of graphene oxide-based adsorbents that possess both high structural stability and excellent adsorption capacity. In this paper, a green and environmentally friendly ternary composite aerogel based on graphene was successfully synthesized. The adsorption capacity of graphene oxide was enhanced through diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid modification, while the incorporation of composite carboxymethyl cellulose improved the structural stability of the composite aerogel in liquid. The composite aerogel demonstrates robust interactions between its components and features a multiscale porous structure. Adsorption tests conducted with Pb(II) revealed that the GO/DTPA/CMC (GDC) composite aerogel exhibits a favorable adsorption capacity. The study of adsorption kinetics and isotherms indicated that the adsorption process follows the quasi-secondary adsorption model and Freundlich adsorption model, suggesting a chemical multilayer adsorption mechanism, and the maximum adsorption capacity for Pb(II) ions was 521.917 mg/g based on the quasi-quadratic kinetic model fitting. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses, performed before and after adsorption, confirmed that the adsorption of Pb(II) primarily occurs through chelation, complexation, proton exchange, and electrostatic interactions between ions and active sites such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. This study presents an innovative strategy for simultaneously enhancing the adsorption properties of graphene oxide-based composite aerogels and ensuring solution stability.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 264:130410. [PMID: 38417751 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130410] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024]
Abstract
In this study, magnetic DTPA-modified chitosan composite microspheres (MDCM) were prepared by reverse emulsion-double crosslinking method (carbodiimide followed by glutaraldehyde) for removal of Pb(II) from aqueous solution. The obtained magnetic adsorbents were characterized by FTIR, SEM, XRD, VSM, BET, and 13C NMR. The effects of the pH, contact time, initial concentration, and competitive metal cations (Na(I), Ca(II), or Mg(II)) on Pb(II) adsorption were investigated. The results revealed that MDCM exhibited high removal performance over a wide pH range and in the presence of competitive metal cations. The maximum adsorption capacity of MDCM for Pb(II) is 214.63 mg g-1 at pH 3, which is higher than most recently reported magnetic adsorbents. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms can be described by the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model, respectively. In addition, MDCM is easy to regenerate and can be reused five cycles with high adsorption capacity. Finally, the adsorption mechanism was further revealed by FTIR and XPS analysis. Overall, MDCM has practical application potential in removing Pb(II) from contaminated wastewater due to its high adsorption efficiency, good reusability, and convenient magnetic separation.

Abstract
The development of an effective sensing platform is critical for the electrochemical detection of heavy metal ions (HMIs) in water. In this study, we fabricated a newly designed sensor through the in situ assembly of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and polyphosphate nanoparticles (polyP NPs) on a carbon cloth electrode via microorganism-mediated green biochemical processes. The characterization results revealed that the rGO produced via microbial reduction had a three-dimensional porous structure, serving as an exceptional scaffold for hosting polyP NPs, and the polyP NPs were evenly distributed on the rGO network. In terms of detecting HMIs, the numerous functional groups of polyP NPs play a major role in the coordination with the cations. This electrochemical sensor, based on polyP NPs/rGO, enabled the individual and simultaneous determination of lead ion (Pb2+) and copper ion (Cu2+) with detection limits of 1.6 nM and 0.9 nM, respectively. Additionally, the electrode exhibited outstanding selectivity for the target analytes in the presence of multiple interfering metal ions. The fabricated sensor was successfully used to determine Pb2+/Cu2+ in water samples with satisfactory recovery rates ranging from 92.16% to 104.89%. This study establishes a facile, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly microbial approach for the synthesis of electrode materials and the detection of environmental pollutants.

A novel magnetic sludge biochar was prepared by making full use of internal iron in sludge combining KMnO 4-NaOH modification to enhance the adsorption of Pb (Ⅱ), Cu (Ⅱ) and Cd (Ⅱ). ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 236:116470.

Abstract
This study synthesized novel magnetic biochar (PCMN600) by KMnO4-NaOH combined modification using iron-containing pharmaceutical sludge to remove toxic metals from wastewater effectively. Various characterization experiments of engineered biochar showed that the modification process introduced ultrafine MnOx particles on the carbon surface and resulted in higher BET surface area and porosity along with more oxygen-containing surface functional groups. Batch adsorption studies indicated that the maximum adsorption capacities of PCMN600 for Pb2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+ were 181.82 mg/g, 30.03 mg/g and 27.47 mg/g, respectively, at a temperature of 25 °C and pH of 5.0, which were much higher than that of pristine biochar (26.46 mg/g, 6.56 mg/g and 6.40 mg/g). The adsorption datums of three toxic metal ions fitted well to the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm, and the sorption mechanisms were identified as electrostatic attraction, ion exchange, surface complexation, cation-π interaction and precipitation. The strong magnetic properties of the engineered biochar endowed the adsorbent with remarkable reusability, and after five cycles of recycling, PCMN600 still retained nearly 80% of its initial adsorption capacities.

Abstract
In this work, magnetic barium phosphate (FBP) composites with different content of commercial Fe3O4 nanoparticles were easily prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method. FBP composites with a magnetic content of 3% (FBP3) were studied as the example for the removal of an organic pollutant (Brilliant Green, BG) from the synthetic medium. The adsorption study was executed under the variation of different experimental conditions, such as solution pH (5 ~ 11), dosage (0.02 ~ 0.20 g), temperature (293 ~ 323 K), and the contact time (0 ~ 60 min) on the removal of BG. For comparison purposes, the one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) approach and Doehlert matrix (DM) were both employed to investigate the factor impacts involved. FBP3 showed a high adsorption capacity of 1419.3 ± 10.0 mg/g for at 25 °C and pH = 6.31. The kinetics study revealed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model as the best-fitted model, and the thermodynamic data fit well with the Langmuir model. The possible adsorption mechanisms involved are the electrostatic interaction and/or hydrogen bonding of PO43-…N+/C-H and HSO4-…Ba2+ between FBP3 and BG. Furthermore, FBP3 showed good easy reusability and high capacities for BG removal. Our results provide new insights for developing low-cost, efficient, and reusable adsorbent to remove BG from industrial wastewater.

Abstract
Fungi make a fundamental contribution to several biotechnological processes, including brewing, winemaking, and the production of enzymes, organic acids, alcohols, antibiotics, and pharmaceuticals. The present review explores the biotechnological importance of the filamentous yeast-like fungus Geotrichum candidum, a ubiquitous species known for its use as a starter in the dairy industry. To uncover G. candidum's biotechnological role, we performed a search for related work through the scientific indexing internet services, Web of Science and Google Scholar. The following query was used: Geotrichum candidum, producing about 6500 scientific papers from 2017 to 2022. From these, approximately 150 that were associated with industrial applications of G. candidum were selected. Our analysis revealed that apart from its role as a starter in the dairy and brewing industries, this species has been administered as a probiotic nutritional supplement in fish, indicating improvements in developmental and immunological parameters. Strains of this species produce a plethora of biotechnologically important enzymes, including cellulases, β-glucanases, xylanases, lipases, proteases, and α-amylases. Moreover, strains that produce antimicrobial compounds and that are capable of bioremediation were identified. The findings of the present review demonstrate the importance of G. candidum for agrifood- and bio-industries and provide further insights into its potential future biotechnological roles.

Abstract
The removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater has attracted considerable interest because of their toxicity. Adsorption is one of the most promising methods for the removal of heavy metal ions due to its simplicity and effectiveness. Recently, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have become promising adsorbents for effective wastewater remediation. However, many building blocks have been developed, and the design of COFs with high adsorption efficiency remains a challenge. Here, a covalent organic framework (DHTP-TPB COF) decorated with hydroxyl groups was developed for the efficient removal of Pb2+ ions. The DHTP-TPB COF showed excellent performance in adsorbing Pb2+ from aqueous solution. More importantly, DHTP-TPB COF exhibited high selectivity for Pb2+ compared to other competing ions, capturing Pb2+ ions with a removal efficiency of over 96% at pH 4. The results show that the DHTP-TPB COF exhibits excellent adsorption capacity at pH 4 of up to 154.3 mg/g for Pb2+ ions; the value is comparable to many previously reported COFs. Moreover, the adsorbed Pb2+ ions could be easily eluted with a 0.1 M EDTA solution, and the DHTP-TPB COF can be reused for more than five adsorption-desorption cycles without significant loss of adsorption capacity. Moreover, the adsorption mechanism was revealed using XPS analysis, indicating the formation of strong coordination-bonding interactions between hydroxyl and Pb2+ ions. Therefore, the DHTP-TPB COF prepared herein has high potential for the treatment of Pb2+-contaminated wastewater and is promising for the adsorption of Pb2+ ions in practical applications.

Abstract
Environmental effects of heavy metal pollution are considered as a widespread problem throughout the world, as it jeopardizes human health and also reduces the sustainability of a cleaner environment. Removal of such noxious pollutants from wastewater is pivotal because it provides a propitious solution for a cleaner environment and water scarcity. Adsorption treatment plays a significant role in water remediation due to its potent treatment and low cost of adsorbents. In the last two decades, researchers have been highly focused on the modification of adsorption treatment by functionalized and surface-modified nanomaterials which has spurred intense research. The characteristics of nano adsorbents attract global scientists as it is also economically viable. This review shines its light on the functionalized nanomaterials application for heavy metals removal from wastewater and also highlights the importance of regeneration of nanomaterials in the view of visualizing the economic aspects along with a cleaner environment. The review also focused on the proper disposal of nanomaterials with crucial issues that persist in the adsorption process and also emphasize future research modification at a large-scale application in industries.

Abstract
The massive generation of medical waste (MW) results in a series of environmental, social, and ecological problems. Pyrolysis is one such approach that has attracted more attention because of the production of value-added products with lesser environmental risk. In this study, the activated biochar (ABC600) was obtained from MW pyrolysis and activated with KOH. The adsorption mechanism of activated biochar on cationic (methylene blue) and anionic (reactive yellow) dyes were studied. The physicochemical characterization of biochar showed that increasing pyrolysis temperature and KOH activation resulted in increased surface area, a rough surface with a clear porous structure, and sufficient functional groups. MB and RYD-145 adsorption on ABC600 was more consistent with Langmuir isotherm (R2 ≥ 0.996) and pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2 ≥ 0.998), indicating chemisorption with monolayer characteristics. The Langmuir model fitting demonstrated that MB and RYD-145 had maximum uptake capacities of 922.2 and 343.4 mg⋅g-1. The thermodynamics study of both dyes showed a positive change in enthalpy (ΔH°) and entropy (ΔS°), revealing the endothermic adsorption behavior and randomness in dye molecule arrangement on activated-biochar/solution surface. The activated biochar has excellent adsorption potential for cationic and anionic dyes; hence, it can be considered an economical and efficient adsorbent.

Abstract
In this study, strontium ferrite (SF)-incorporated zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF-8) (SFZIF-8) that can simultaneously uptake Pb(II) and tetracycline (TC) in solution was synthesized and characterized. The physicochemical properties of the as-prepared SFZIF-8 were characterized by various functional groups, higher average pore diameter (3.414 nm), and stronger negative charge (-30.5 mV). Adsorption kinetics, isotherms, effect of various water conditions including solution pH and temperature, and reusability were studied to evaluate its adsorption performance. The adsorption capacity of SFZIF-8 was compared with that of commonly used adsorbents (powder and granular activated carbon). SFZIF-8 showed much higher adsorption performance (429.6 mg/g and 433.4 mg/g for Pb(II) and TC, respectively) than powder activated carbon (129.9 mg/g and 142.0 mg/g for Pb(II) and TC, respectively) and granular activated carbon (249.3 mg/g and 263.0 mg/g for Pb(II) and TC, respectively) in Pb(II) and TC binary solutions. The SFZIF-8 adsorption behaviors for the removal of Pb(II) and TC were explained by the pseudo-first-order and Langmuir models from the adsorption kinetics and isotherm experiments, respectively. The regenerated SFZIF-8 exhibited a competitive performance even after the third cycle. These results indicate that Pb(II) and TC can be removed with SFZIF-8 via electrostatic attraction, surface complexation, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interactions. Therefore, by exhibiting effective and efficient adsorption performance, SFZIF-8 nanocomposites can be utilized as alternative and promising adsorbents for the simultaneous removal of both Pb(II) and TC.

Abstract
High efficiency removal of methyl orange (MO) and bromothymol blue (BT) dyes from contaminated water has been reported using magnetic mesoporous nanoparticles modified with cationic polymer brush (poly(2-methacryloyloxy)ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride solution) (Fe3O4-MSNs-PMETAC). Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was utilized to grow the polymer chains on the magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles. The chemical surface modifications were confirmed using IR, TGA, SEM and TEM. The results show that the obtained Fe3O4-MSNs-PMETAC materials were nearly spherical in shape with approximately 30 nm magnetic core, and silica shell thicknesses ranged from 135 to 250 nm. The adsorption performance of the material was found to be unaffected by the pH (3-9) of the media, with a removal efficiency of 100% for both dyes. The adsorption of BT and MO on the surface of Fe3O4-MSNs-PMETAC was found to follow Freundlich and Langmuir models, respectively. Since the synthesized nanocomposite materials exhibit an enhanced properties such as large maximum adsorption capacity, rapid synthesis process, and easy separation from solution, it could be an effective sorbent for the removal of other pollutants such as potentially toxic anionic elements (e.g., arsenate and chromate ions) from water and wastewater.

Abstract
Removing microplastics (MPs) from water has been a huge challenge due to their inherent features including small size and high stability. In this research, inspired by the active adsorption and passive adhesion mechanisms of corals to MPs, a new strategy to fabricate polydopamine enhanced magnetic chitosan (PDA-MCS) aerogels was developed with a target to match the surface properties of MPs, achieving high MPs removal efficiency. PDA-MCS aerogels were highly efficient in adsorbing polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastics in water at pH values of 6-9, with a removal efficiency of up to 91.6%. Even after three recycles, PDA-MCS aerogels still displayed comparatively high removal efficiency (83.4%). Kinetic and isothermal experiments showed that the adsorption process was the result of electrostatic interactions and physical adhesion between aerogels and microplastics. Moreover, PDA-MCS aerogels maintained high removal efficiency under simulated environmental conditions, and the removal efficiency of PET, polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS) microplastics in waters reached 97.3%, 94.6%, and 92.3%, respectively. Therefore, high-efficiency environmentally durable aerogels adsorbent materials have the potential for the removal of MPs from the aquatic environment.

Abstract
This study reports a greener, cheaper and convenient approach to synthesize Terminalia arjuna bark extract coated magnetite nanoparticles (TA@MNPs) using the co-precipitation method and efficient removal of methylene blue (MB) and lead ions [Pb(II)] from simulated wastewater. The synthesized nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized by various techniques such as DLS, XRD, FTIR, HRTEM, AGM, and TGA. From TGA analysis, TA@MNPs was found to be stable even after 500 °C. Using the batch method, maximum removal was achieved at pH 9.0 for MB and pH 3.0 for Pb(II) solutions, respectively. Adsorption study showed that TA@MNPs followed pseudo-second-order kinetics by both adsorbates while isotherm modeling towards adsorption of Pb(II) and MB exhibited Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity for Pb(II) on TA@MNPs was 210.5 mg g-1. The thermodynamic study proved the spontaneity of the physisorption process. Regeneration studies were also performed using five different eluents for the two adsorbents. Overall, TA@MNPs effectively removed pollutants from wastewater and thus could be potentially useful in providing clean water in a cheaper way.

Abstract
Simultaneously removing heavy metal and dye from complex wastewater is of great significance to industrial wastewater treatment. Herein, a novel magnetic adsorbent, DTPA-modified chitosan-coated magnetic silica nanoparticle (FFO@Sil@Chi-DTPA), was successfully prepared and used to enhance the Pb(II) selective adsorption from multi-metal wastewater based on anion-synergism. In the competitive experiment conducted in a multi-ion solution, the type of selective adsorption of metals was changed by the adsorbents before and after amidation, in which FFO@Sil@Chi-DTPA exhibited an excellent selectively for capturing Pb(II), while FFO@Sil@Chi demonstrated highly selective adsorption of silver. More importantly, the selective adsorption of Pb(II)S by FFO@Sil@Chi-DTPA was enhanced from 111.71 to 268.01 mg g-1 when the coexisting MB concentrations ranged from 0 to 100 mg L-1 at pH 6.0. In the Pb(II)-MB binary system, Pb(II) and MB exhibited a synergistic effect, in which the presence of MB strengthened the adsorption effect of Pb(II) due to the sulfonic acid groups in MB molecules that create new specific sites for Pb(II) adsorption, while MB adsorption was also enhanced by the presence of Pb(II). This work provides a new strategy for exploring novel adsorbents that can enhance the selective removal of heavy metal in complex wastewater based on anion-synergism.

Abstract
The coexistence of anionic and cationic dyes in dye wastewater has highlighted a great necessity to develop amphoteric adsorbents for their simultaneous removal. Herein, an amphoteric composite sponge was successfully fabricated by combining chitosan with electrospun sodium alginate nanofiber using lyophilization in acetic acid/water/dioxane mixed solvents, which owned the abundant functional groups and superior microstructure of interconnected pores and nanoscale fibers, beneficial for the adsorption capacity improvement. The optimum adsorption capacities for Acid Blue-113 and Rhodamine B were 926.2 ± 25.7 mg/g and 695.4 ± 17.0 mg/g, respectively, much higher than that of the controlled sample prepared with chitosan and non-spinning sodium alginate in traditional acetic acid/water solvents. Meanwhile, the sponge provided with the superior adsorption performance under various pH environment and cyclic adsorption. Importantly, it had considerable simultaneous adsorption capacity for binary system containing anionic and cationic dyes. Overall, the chitosan/electrospun sodium alginate nanofiber composite sponge shows potential for complex wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Water remediation techniques have been extensively investigated due to the increasing threats of soluble pollutants posed on the human health, ecology and sustainability. Confronted with the complex composition matrix of wastewater, the simultaneous elimination of coexisting multi-pollutants remains a great challenge due to their different physicochemical properties. By integrating multi-contaminants elimination processes into one unit operation, simultaneous decontamination attracted more and more attention under the consideration of versatile applications and economical benefits. In this review, the state-of-art simultaneous decontamination methods were systematically summarized as chemical precipitation, adsorption, photocatalysis, oxidation-reduction, biological removal and membrane filtration. Their applications, mechanisms, mutual interactions, sustainability and recyclability were outlined and discussed in detail. Finally, the prospects and opportunities for future research were proposed for further development of simultaneous decontamination. This work could provide guidelines for the design and fabrication of well-organized simultaneous decontaminating system.

Abstract
Developing novel environmentally materials with high capacity and selectivity for Ag+ adsorption by transforming Ag+ to nano silver is important for the recovery of precious metals from Ag-containing solution. The present study systematically studied the Ag + adsorption process from solution by the composite of SiO2 supported nano ferrous oxalate (SNFO) synthesized from biotite-containing minerals. Batch experiments, dynamics and isothermal adsorption fitting results showed that Ag+ removal behaviours were in accordance with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model and Langmuir model, and the maximal Ag+ removal capacity was 223.68 mg/g. Thermodynamic fitting results suggested that Ag + removal by the composite was a spontaneous and endothermic reaction process. XRD and TEM revealed that the reaction products were consisted of SiO2 and nano silver particles, and FTIR and XPS results indicated that the Ag+ removal mechanisms were attributed to the synergistic reduction interaction between ferrous and the anions of oxalate. Meanwhile, the composite possesses high selectivity for Ag+ removal even at low Ag+ concentration. Moreover, the size of nano silver particles could be adjusted by different pH values. All above results demonstrated that the composite was an ideal material for selective recovery of Ag+ from Ag+ containing effluents in the form of nano silver.

Abstract
Microplastics have attracted widespread attention due to their detrimental effects on organisms, and their efficient removal poses great challenges, especially those smaller than 3 µm that are more harmful for aquatic biota. Herein, the chitin based sponges with interconnected pores, excellent elasticity and mechanical durability were fabricated and composed with graphene oxide (GO) and oxygen-doped carbon nitride (O-C3N4). The chitin based sponges could effectively remove different functionalized microplastics (~1 µm) at pH 6-8, including carboxylate-modified polystyrene (PS-COOH), amine-modified polystyrene (PS-NH2), and polystyrene (PS). Notably, the removal efficiency of three microplastics by the chitin based sponges reached up to 71.6-92.1% at an environmentally relevant concentration of 1 mg L-1 in water system. The potential driving forces of the adsorption were electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bond interactions, and π-π interactions. In addition, the chitin based sponges are reusable and after re-used for 3 cycles due to their excellent compressibility. The algae toxicity test demonstrated good biocompatibility of the chitin based sponges and they are also biodegradable in a natural soil. This study provides a green and promising method for fabricating environmentally friendly adsorbents for small-size microplastics removal, and expands the insights into the mechanisms of microplastic adsorption onto the sponge materials.

Abstract
Composite materials are made from two or more constituent materials with distinct physical or chemical properties that, when combined, produce a material with characteristics which are at least to some degree different from its individual components. Nanocomposite materials are composed of different materials of which at least one has nanoscale dimensions. Common types of nanocomposites consist of a combination of two different elements, with a nanoparticle that is linked to, or surrounded by, another organic or inorganic material, for example in a core-shell or heterostructure configuration. A general family of nanoparticle composites concerns the coating of a nanoscale material by a polymer, SiO2 or carbon. Other materials, such as graphene or graphene oxide (GO), are used as supports forming composites when nanoscale materials are deposited onto them. In this Review we focus on magnetic nanocomposites, describing their synthetic methods, physical properties and applications. Several types of nanocomposites are presented, according to their composition, morphology or surface functionalization. Their applications are largely due to the synergistic effects that appear thanks to the co-existence of two different materials and to their interface, resulting in properties often better than those of their single-phase components. Applications discussed concern magnetically separable catalysts, water treatment, diagnostics-sensing and biomedicine.

Abstract
Separating and recovering lead from heavy metal contaminated wastewater is crucial for the environment remediation and reutilization of lead resources. Herein, a novel adsorbent, the phosphorylated chitosan-coated magnetic silica nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2@CS-P), was successfully fabricated and applied to highly selective adsorption of lead. Competitive experiments were conducted in a multi-ion solution (7 metal ions coexist) at pH 6.0, Fe3O4@SiO2@CS-P exhibited an excellent selectively for capturing lead with the distribution coefficient (0.75 L g-1) more ten times than other metal, while Fe3O4@SiO2@CS demonstrated a highly selective adsorption of silver. These implied that phosphorylation of adsorbent not only improves the sorption performance of lead, but also changes the selective adsorption of metal types. Acidity experiments can draw conclusions that Fe3O4@SiO2@CS-P exhibited better acid resistance (with barely any iron leaching) than silica-uncoated adsorbent (Fe3O4@CS-P) at pH 1.0. Furthermore, the FTIR and XPS spectra after adsorption suggested that the high adsorption performance and selective capture lead were predominantly controlled by the coordination of the phosphate groups on the surface of the adsorbent. This work shows a broad prospect of developing a series of novel, acid-resistant, good reusable and rapidly separable magnetic materials that can be used to efficiently and selectively capture lead from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Efficient removal of Hg2+ from aqueous solution is key for environmental protection and human health. Herein, a novel composite of nano humboldtine decorated almandine was synthesized from almandine for the removal of Hg2+. Results showed that the Hg2+ removal process followed pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir equation, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 575.17 mg/g. Furthermore, Hg2+ removal by the composite was pH-dependent and low pH value facilitated the removal of Hg2+. SEM and HADDF-STEM results suggested a new rod morphology was generated and the adsorbed mercury was mainly enriched into this structure after reaction with Hg2+ solution. The removal mechanisms of Hg2+ by the composite was pH dependent, and included ion exchange, surface complexation, reduction and oxidation. Our results demonstrated that the composite was an ideal material for Hg2+ removal and the transformation ways of mercury related species could be a significant but currently underestimated pathway in natural and engineered systems.

Abstract
The presence and accumulation of dyestuff in the environment is posing great harm to human beings. In this study, a novel poly(pyrrole methane) (PPm) adsorbent with abundant OH was greenly synthesized via a facile polymerization method. Its physicochemical properties were characterized in detail. Furthermore, the adsorption performance of PPm for anionic dye (acid red G, ARG) and cationic dye (methylene blue, MB) was comparatively studied with a typical dye adsorbent (polyprrrole, PPy). The results revealed that the adsorption of ARG or MB onto PPm followed pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir mode. The adsorption processes were endothermic and spontaneous. The maximum capacities of PPm to adsorb ARG and MB were 555.56 mg/g and 99.11 mg/g, which were about 10 and 2 times higher than that of PPy, respectively. PPm could be reused for 5 cycles without a significant decrease of its adsorption rate. The adsorption of ARG and MB is mainly attributed to electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding between ARG or MB and OH in PPm. Additionally, ARG could be adsorbed by ion exchange with the doped Cl- in PPm. Therefore, this study provides a new strategy to synthesis efficient adsorbent for the removal of both anionic and cationic dyes.

Abstract
The role of microplastics (MPs) as a carrier of pollutants in water environment is an emerging issue; however, information regarding the underlying mechanisms for malachite green (MG) and Pb(II) adsorption onto hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD)-polystyrene (PS) composites MPs (HBCD-PS MPs) is still lacking. In this study, the adsorption behaviors and mechanisms of MG and Pb(II) onto PS and HBCD-PS MPs were investigated in batch adsorption experiments. The amounts of MG and Pb(II) adsorbed onto PS MPs were negligible while the presence of HBCD significantly enhanced the adsorption of MG and Pb(II) onto HBCD-PS MPs. The results of intra-particle and film diffusion model confirmed that the adsorption of MG and Pb(II) onto HBCD-PS MPs was dominated by intra-particle diffusion. The maximum adsorption amount (qm) of Pb(II) and MG onto HBCD-PS MPs followed the sequence of Pb(II) (3.33 μmol g-1) > MG (1.87 μmol g-1). In binary systems, MG and Pb(II) showed competitive adsorption onto HBCD-PS MPs, and Pb(II) exhibited relatively higher affinity to be adsorbed onto HBCD-PS MPs. Solution pH and salinity played a crucial role in the adsorption process. XPS analysis suggested that the -Br participated in the adsorption process as an electron-withdrawing group. Overall, electrostatic interaction regulated the adsorption of MG and Pb(II) onto HBCD-PS MPs. Results from this study demonstrated that HBCD could enhance the role of MPs in the MG and Pb(II) migration by changing their adsorption behavior onto MPs.

Abstract
Comprehensive utilization of tailings is not only conducive to ensuring the sustainable use of resources but also can reduce the related environmental pollution. In the present work, a new utilization way of copper tailings was proposed and a novel composite (OMT-6) was prepared by modification of tailings with oxalic acid. The composite had super high Pb2+ adsorption capacity with the maximal Pb2+ removal capacity of 862.07 mg/g. Its Pb2+ removal behaviours followed pseudo-second-order kinetic equation and Langmuir model, suggesting that Pb2+ removal depended on monolayer adsorption. The surface of OMT-6 was rough and a lot of nanospheres were loaded on its surface. The composite had mesoporous structure and a larger specific surface area compared with tailings, the above characteristics of which facilitated Pb2+ removal. The major crystal structures of OMT-6 were transformed to CaC2O4•H2O and FeC2O4•2H2O after oxalic acid modification and Pb2+ could be removed by the ions exchange between Ca2+, Fe2+ and Pb2+. Pb2+ removal mechanisms of OMT-6 involved ion exchange, surface complexation and electrostatic attraction interaction, among which ion exchange played a key role. These results indicated that the prepared OMT-6 composite from copper tailings was an ideal material for Pb2+ removal from aqueous solution.

Abstract
In this study, a yeast-like fungal strain (LG-8), newly isolated from spontaneous Tibet kefir in China, was identified as Geotrichum candidum on the basis of its morphological characteristics and ITS5.8S gene sequence. Interestingly, the strain was able to remove more than 99% of Pb2+ ions in water at low concentrations and a maximum of 325.68 mg lead/g of dry biomass. The results of selective passivation experiments suggested that phosphate, amide and carboxyl groups on the cell wall contributed to lead removal. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photomicrographs revealed that large amounts of micro/nanoparticles formed on the cell wall, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) results further indicated the presence of lead along with phosphorus and chlorine in the particles. Furthermore, the results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses revealed that the particles were composed of pyromorphite [Pb5(PO4)3Cl], a highly insoluble lead mineral. Importantly, this is the first time that the biomineralization of lead into pyromorphite has been observed as the major mechanism for lead removal by G. candidum LG-8, providing a new strategy to scavenge heavy metals from aquatic environment in an eco-friendly manner.

Abstract
Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSBs) shows high potential to be used for lead passivation in sediments due to the abilities of releasing phosphate and the subsequent formation of insoluble Pb-phosphate compounds. In this research, microbial capsules implemented with sodium alginate and CaCl2, containing Leclercia adecarboxylata L15 (a lead resistant PSB) and Ca3(PO4)2, were developed and the performance on lead passivation under different conditions was examined. The optimal concentrations of sodium alginate and CaCl2 for formulating the capsules were determined to be 0.3% and 10%, respectively. The removal efficiency of Pb2+ by capsules containing L15 and Ca3(PO4)2 was up to 98% with a capsule dosage of 2%, initial Pb2+ concentration of 1mM and pH of 3.0, which was better than that of free L15 (18%) and capsules containing only L15 (34%). Lead was immobilized via the formation of Pb5(PO4)3Cl on the surface and Pb3(PO4)2 in the interior of the capsules. The simulated sediment remediation experiments showed that the acid soluble fraction of lead reduced from 28% to 14% and transformed into more stable fractions after 10 days. The experiment results indicated that PSBs capsules coupled with phosphate materials have a great promise for application in remediation of lead contaminated sediments.

Abstract
A high-surface-area and inexpensive activated carbon has been produced from lemon peel using chemical activation with H3PO4 at 500 °C in a N2 atmosphere. Afterwards, the synthesized cobalt nanoparticles using coprecipitation method were adsorbed on the activated carbon surface, and as a result magnetic activated carbon was obtained. Sample characterization has been assessed via X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption and magnetic properties. It was found that magnetic activated carbon-cobalt nanoparticles (MAC/Co) synthesized had a high saturation magnetization. The MAC/Co revealed super-paramagnetic behaviors at room temperature, and have been readily isolated from solution by using an exterior magnet. Next, adsorption behavior of malachite green and Pb(II) onto the generated MAC/Co has been examined. Sorption kinetics and equilibrium have been studied using batch procedure. The kinetic and isothermal adsorption results were matched completely with the Elovich and Langmuir models, respectively. Based on the Langmuir model, the highest adsorption capacities of malachite green dye and Pb(II) ion respectively were 263.2 and 312.5 mg g-1 at room temperature. Based on the results, the MAC/Co is a probable economic and effective adsorbent that can be employed as a new adsorbent to remove malachite green dye and Pb(II) from wastewater.

Abstract
This study firstly reported a novel nano humboldtine/almandine composite (NHLA composite) prepared directly from almandine through one-pot method based on the interaction of almandine and oxalic acid. The formation of humboldtine/almandine binary phase from natural almandine was determined by X-ray diffraction. Analysis of scanning & transmission electron microscope showed that large amount of nano humboldtine with uniform size (average size of 15.59 nm) were loaded on the almandine sheets. Compared with raw minerals, Pb(Ⅱ) removal capacity of synthesized composite was significantly increased, demonstrating that the main active ingredient for Pb(Ⅱ) removal was humboldtine phase rather than almandine itself. Pb(Ⅱ) adsorption capacity was increased with the increasing of initial pH value or temperature. Langmuir isotherm and Pseudo-second order kinetic equation were well fitted with experimental results and the maximum Pb(Ⅱ) adsorption capacity from Langmuir isotherm was 574.71 mg/g at temperature of 25 °C. In addition, heavy metal removal experiments in coexisting systems of multiple heavy metal ions manifested that the composite had a high selectivity for Pb(Ⅱ) adsorption. Ion exchange, surface complexation and electrostatic interaction have involved in the Pb(Ⅱ) adsorption. The synthesized composite was considered as a low cost, high efficiency, super selectivity and easy to mass production material for Pb(Ⅱ) adsorption from solution.

Abstract
It is still a great challenge to find an eco-friendly, easy-to-synthesize, and cheap adsorbent to rapidly remove Cr(VI) to ppb level in the Cr(VI)-polluted water. Herein, a new layered double hydroxide nanocage intercalated with diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC-LDH) was fabricated via a facile calcination-rehydration method. The DDTC-LDH rapidly decreased Cr(VI) concentration from 5 to <0.05 mg/L within 35 min, and only a few seconds were required to completely remove it at an initial concentration of 0.5-1 mg/L, primarily attributed to the effective adsorption-reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) by sulfur atoms in CS and CS groups. Attractively, the generated Cr(III) was also quickly removed to below 0.1 mg/L via an opportune Lewis hard-hard interaction with C-SOx groups produced through CS oxidation. Additionally, Cr(VI) could be removed by DDTC-LDH at a wide pH application range (3.17-10.78) and with weak effects by coexisting anions (Cl-, NO3-, CO32-, SO42-, and PO43-). We systematically analyzed and proposed the mechanisms for Cr(VI) removal by the DDTC-LDH, orderly containing electrostatic attraction, Cr(VI) complexation by sulfur atoms in CS and CS groups, reduction of the Cr(VI) to Cr(III) by the CS and CS groups, and Cr(III) complexation by sulfur atoms in C-SOx groups. Our results provide new insights into the Cr(VI) removal using organosulfur compounds, that is to say, the organosulfur group Lewis hardness increased (from C-S to C-SOx) as the Cr species Lewis hardness increased (from Cr(VI) to Cr(III)), so as to opportunely ensure fast and efficient capture of both Cr(VI) and Cr(III) via Lewis acid-base interactions.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 388:122078. [PMID: 31962212 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.122078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2019] [Revised: 01/10/2020] [Accepted: 01/11/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
A multifunctional magnetic composite (0.3Ma-MgMnLDO-a) with the function of Cd2+ adsorption and paracetamol (PAM) degradation was successfully fabricated. Surface morphology showed that Fe3O4 agglomeration was overcome on composite. The composite had high specific surface area of 105.32 m2 g-1 and saturation magnetization of 40 emu∙g-1. 0.3Ma-MgMnLDO-a could reach Cd2+ adsorption equilibrium within 5 min with 99 % removal rate. The maximum adsorption capacity was 3.76 mmol·g-1 (422.62 mg g-1), which apparently higher than that of Fe3O4-a and MgMnLDO-a, indicating that the Fe/Mn synergism results in excellent ability for Cd2+ adsorption. Moreover, the composite could efficiently activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to rapid degrade PAM with the highest first-order rate constants (kobs = 0.116 min-1) and total organic carbon (TOC) removal rate (67.7 %), which also due to the contribution of Fe/Mn synergism in PMS activation. The cycling of MnIII/MnIV and FeII/FeIII played an important role in activating PMS to generateO2-•, 1O2 and OH for degradation. The composite exhibited both stable adsorption and catalytic performance on wide pH (3-9) and five reuse cycles. Notably, there was mutual promotion between Cd2+ and PAM adsorption, while the coexistence of Cd2+ had slight inhibition on PAM degradation. Overall, the magnetic composite had promising application for purifying heavy metals and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI), as a high-efficiency adsorbent for heavy metals, often suffers being oxidized and assembling together due to small size and super reactivity, further decreasing its adsorption performance and limiting application ranges. Herein, we have designed a novel adsorbent with high-dispersion nZVI stabilized by as-prepared artificial humic acid (AHA-nZVI) derived from hydrothermal humification (HTH) technology. Introduction of artificial humic acid (A-HA) can effectively reduce the oxidation and agglomeration of nZVI, leading to superior kinetic removal efficiency of Pb2+ (> 99.2%) and huge Langmuir removal capacity of 649.0 mg/g. The combination of nZVI and A-HA (contained abundant functional groups, i.e. -OH and -COOH) via C-O-Fe bonding makes nZVI have good dispersion and oxidation resistance. Multiple interaction mechanisms including reduction reaction, complexation and co-precipitation between heavy metals and AHA-nZVI samples are realized. Overall, AHA-nZVI is a promising material for high-performance heavy metal contaminated water treatment.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2019; 290:121793.

Abstract
In this study, lignin extracted from rice husk was used to synthesis double network hydrogel adsorbent, named RH-CTS/PAM gel. RH-CTS/PAM gel exhibited macroporous structure and high buried water content, which gave rise to the exceptional adsorption performance. As results, in individual systems, the equilibrium time of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) with initial concentration of 200 mg/L could be reached within 10 min, with the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of 374.32, 196.68 and 268.98 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption rate and capacity of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) in multicomponent systems were lower than that of individual systems. However, in a few cases of ternary system, higher adsorption rate and capacity was observed compare to binary systems. Adsorption mechanism indicated that both oxygen-containing and nitrogen-containing functional groups played a dominant role during the adsorption process, and mainly through chemical interaction along with a small amount of physical interaction.
