Abstract
Efficient recovery of rare earth elements (REEs) from wastewater is crucial for advancing resource utilization and environmental protection. Herein, a novel nitrogen-rich hydrogel adsorbent (PEI-ALG@KLN) was synthesized by modifying coated kaolinite-alginate composite hydrogels with polyethylenimine through polyelectrolyte interactions and Schiff's base reaction. Various characterizations revealed that the high selective adsorption capacity of Ho (155 mg/g) and Nd (125 mg/g) on PEI-ALG@KLN is due to a combination of REEs (Lewis acids) via coordination interactions with nitrogen-containing functional groups (Lewis bases) and electrostatic interactions; its adsorption capacity remains more than 85 % after five adsorption-desorption cycles. In waste NdFeB magnet hydrometallurgical wastewater, the recovery rate of PEI-ALG@KLN for Nd and Dy can reach more than 93 %, whereas that of Fe is only 5.04 %. Machine learning prediction was used to evaluate adsorbent properties via different predictive models, with the random forest (RF) model showing superior predictive accuracy. The order of significance for adsorption capacity was pH > time > initial concentration > electronegativity > ion radius, as indicated by the RF model feature importance analysis and SHapley Additive exPlanations values. These results confirm that PEI-ALG@KLN has considerable potential in the selective extraction of REEs from wastewater.

Abstract
Poly(caffeic acid) was synthesized and utilized for the extraction and determination of rare earth elements (REEs), thorium, and uranium. Oxidative polymerization of caffeic acid, a low-cost plant-based material, in the presence of ethylenediamine produced a granular, air-stable, and cross-linked polymer. The polymer is highly oxygenated and together with the amino group from ethylenediamine efficiently coordinates and preconcentrates these critical elements from aqueous media. Extraction was dependent on solution pH, amount of sorbent, and extraction time, while the concentration and flow rate of the desorption solution governed the recovery efficiency. Removal and recovery efficiencies greater than 98 and 90%, respectively, and low levels of detection ranging from 0.1 to 2.9 ng/L were achieved. Determination of these strategic elements in the presence of potentially interfering ions as well as in complex matrices such as well water and produced water samples also was demonstrated. The capacity of poly(caffeic acid) was determined with lanthanum as a representative REE to be 161.7 mg/g, establishing the promise of poly(caffeic acid) for larger-scale extractions in addition to the ability to screen sources for the presence of REEs.

Abstract
The occurrence of boron in low concentration is essential; however, a higher concentration of boron source in water has a toxic effect on humans as well as have retard effect on agricultural plant growth. Thus, the affordable and facile method to remediate water from higher boron concentrations is highly demanded. This report explores the ability of naturally occurring sustainable bio-waste os sepiae (cuttlefish bone, CFB) as an effective adsorbent for the removal of boron from water. Chemical activation of the os sepiae powder was examined to improve the efficiency of boron adsorption. A batch adsorption study for boron considering various parameters such as chemical modification of os sepiae, pH, initial boron concentration, and the temperature was scrutinized. Untreated (CFB), alkali-treated (CFB-D) and acid-treated (CFB-A) os sepiae powders were investigated and the adsorption capacities reached up to 53.8 ± 0.04 mg/g, 66.4 ± 0.02 mg/g and 69.8 ± 0.02 mg/g, respectively, at optimal pH 8 and 25 °C. Boron adsorption by CFB, CFB-D, and CFB-A were well fitted with the linear Freundlich adsorption isotherm model with a correlation coefficient of 99.4%, 99.8%, and 99.7% respectively. Thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption of boron by CFB is an exothermic process and more feasible at a lower temperature around 25 °C. Moreover, detailed morphological and chemical characterization of the influence of adsorbed boron on adsorbents was conducted and discussed. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis spectra confirms the involvement of various functional groups including amino, carbonate (CO3)2-, and hydroxyl groups on the adsorbent in the adsorption mechanisms for boron removal. The results indicate that CFB can be an excellent example for the recycling and reuse of biowaste for water remediation.

Abstract
The ubiquitous and growing global reliance on rare earth elements (REEs) for modern technology and the need for reliable domestic sources underscore the rising trend in REE-related research. Adsorption-based methods for REE recovery from liquid waste sources are well-positioned to compete with those of solvent extraction, both because of their expected lower negative environmental impact and simpler process operations. Functionalized silica represents a rising category of low cost and stable sorbents for heavy metal and REE recovery. These materials have collectively achieved high capacity and/or high selective removal of REEs from ideal solutions and synthetic or real coal wastewater and other leachate sources. These sorbents are competitive with conventional materials, such as ion exchange resins, activated carbon; and novel polymeric materials like ion-imprinted particles and metal organic frameworks (MOFs). This critical review first presents a data mining analysis for rare earth element recovery publications indexed in Web of science, highlighting changes in REE recovery research foci and confirming the sharply growing interest in functionalized silica sorbents. A detailed examination of sorbent formulation and operation strategies to selectively separate heavy (HREE), middle (MREE), and light (LREE) REEs from the aqueous sources is presented. Selectivity values for sorbents were largely calculated from available figure data and gauged the success of the associated strategies, primarily: (1) silane-grafted ligands, (2) impregnated ligands, and (3) bottom-up ligand/silica hybrids. These were often accompanied by successful co-strategies, especially bite angle control, site saturation, and selective REE elution. Recognizing the need to remove competing fouling metals to achieve purified REE "baskets," we highlight techniques for eliminating these species from acid mine drainage (AMD) and suggest a novel adsorption-based process for purified REE extraction that could be adapted to different water systems.

Abstract
Water and soil contamination due to potentially toxic elements (PTEs) represents a critical threat to the global ecosystem and human health. Naturally abundant resources have significant advantages as adsorbent materials for environmental remediation over manufactured materials such as nanostructured materials and activated carbons. These advantages include cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness, sustainability, and nontoxicity. In this review, we firstly compare the characteristics of representative adsorbent materials including bentonite, zeolite, biochar, biomass, and effective modification methods that are frequently used to enhance their adsorption capacity and kinetics. Following this, the adsorption pathways and sites are outlined at an atomic level, and an in-depth understanding of the structure-property relationships are provided based on surface functional groups. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of some emerging naturally abundant resources such as lignite are examined. Although both unamended and modified naturally abundant resources face challenges associated with their adsorption performance, cost performance, energy consumption, and secondary pollution, these can be tackled by using advanced techniques such as tailored modification, formulated mixing and reorganization of these materials. Recent studies on adsorbent materials provide a strong foundation for the remediation of PTEs in soil and water. We speculate that the pursuit of effective modification strategies will generate remediation processes of PTEs better suited to a wider variety of practical application conditions.

Abstract
Olive oil production generates solid and liquid wastes that cause various environmental problems due to their high phenols and polyphenols load. Although many treatment methods were investigated to manage these wastes, more research is still needed to identify simple and cost-effective approaches. In this study, activated carbon (AC) was prepared from olive cake waste and functionalized with Cu/Cu2O/CuO for efficient and selective removal of phenolic content from olive mill wastewater (OMW). AC media were characterized by scanning electron/dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. The optimum adsorption parameters were investigated, and the adsorption isotherms, thermodynamics, and kinetics were determined. The adsorption of phenols onto copper oxide AC was best described by the Langmuir adsorption with maximum adsorption capacity of 13.9, 12.7, and 9.9 mg/g at 311, 302, and 293 K, respectively. The adsorption reaction was found to be spontaneous and endothermic where ∆H° and ∆G° were found to be 30.104 kJ/mol and -1.765, -2.839, and -3.723 (kJ/mol) at 311, 302, and 293 K, respectively. In addition, the kinetics data were perfectly fit by the pseudo-second-order model. The activated product derived from recyclable olive cake and enriched with inorganic functionality can offer a cost-effective treatment solution for OMW; thus, reducing both the liquid and solid waste generated from the olive mill industry.

Abstract
In the present work, we proved the efficacy of cellulose citrate to remove methylene blue (MB) from artificially contaminated water. MB is a widely used dye, but because of its chemical aromatic structure, it is significantly stable with quite slow biodegradation, causing consequent serious health problems for people and significant environmental pollution. Cellulose citrate, the bio-adsorbent proposed and studied by us to remediate water polluted by MB, is produced by a green, cheap and fast procedure that makes use of two abundant natural products, cellulose and citric acid. The average of two citrate groups for each glucose unit of cellulose chains allows this material to have many carboxylic groups available for interaction with the cationic dye. The characterization was carried out through FT-IR, SEM, specific surface area, pore structure parameters and zeta potential. The negative value of the zeta potential at neutral pH is consistent with the affinity of this material for the adsorption of cationic compounds like MB. The activity of the adsorbent at different times, temperatures, pH and concentrations was investigated. The process followed monolayer adsorption typical of the Langmuir model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 96.2 mg g-1, while for the kinetic studies the process followed a pseudo-second order model. The highest levels of adsorption were reported using solutions of dye with concentrations under 100 mg L-1. The adsorbent can be regenerated several times without a significant loss in the adsorption capacity, and it is not strongly affected by temperature and pH, giving rise to a simple and eco-sustainable procedure for water remediation. Therefore, we conclude that cellulose citrate can be considered as a promising bio-adsorbent for the removal of MB and other cationic pollutants from the environment.

Abstract
This paper reports a study involving the formation of a self-assembled polymeric monolayer on the surface of a high surface area activated carbon to engineer its affinity towards organic contaminants. A nanoporous activated carbon cloth with a surface area of ∼1220 m2 g-1 and a pore volume of ∼0.42 cm3 g-1 was produced by chemical impregnation, carbonisation and high-temperature CO2 activation of a commercially available viscose rayon cloth. The subsequent modification with a silane polymer resulted in a nanoscale self-assembled monolayer that made it selective towards organic solvents (contact angle <10°) and repellant towards water (contact angle >145°). The adsorbent showed more than 95% efficiency in the separation of various types of oil/water mixtures under neutral, basic and acidic conditions. Benefiting from inherent nanoscale features, a robust hierarchical structure and a thermally stable monolayer (∼300 °C), this nanoporous adsorbent maintained high efficiency for more than 20 cycles and separated surfactant stabilised emulsion with >92% oil removal efficiency. The adsorbent was studied extensively with a series of advanced characterisation techniques to establish the formation mechanism and performance in emulsion separation. Findings from this work provide crucial insights towards large-scale implementation of surface engineered activated carbon-based materials for a wide range of industrial separation applications.

Abstract
Pyrrole was N-functionalized with solid carbon dioxide followed by chemical polymerization to create a new air-stable, granular, and water-insoluble sorbent, poly(pyrrole-1-carboxylic acid) (PPy-CO2). PPy-CO2 exhibited enhanced affinity for the sorption of metal ions compared to unfunctionalized PPy due to the incorporation of carboxylate functional groups directly onto the polymer backbone. As a freestanding sorbent material, immobilization to an additional solid support is not needed. Sorption, and therefore preconcentration, occurs simultaneously to achieve efficient removal and recovery of metal ions by a pH-dependent sorption-desorption mechanism. PPy-CO2 was evaluated on the analytical scale for the solid-phase extraction of a range of metal ions and found to efficiently preconcentrate rare earth elements (REEs), Th, and heavy metals (Cr, Fe, Cd, and Pb), which allowed quantitation by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The impact of sorption parameters, such as solution pH, amount of sorbent, and sorption time, and the effect of desorption flow rate for recovery were investigated and optimized using ultrasound-assisted dispersive solid-phase extraction (UAD-SPE) with ICP-MS analysis. Maximum efficiency for sorption and recovery of most metal ions was achieved at a solution pH of 6.0, 10 mg of sorbent, a sorption time of 5 min, and desorption conditions of 1 mL of 2 M nitric acid applied at a flow rate of 0.25 mL min-1. Detection limits for REEs and Th ranged from 0.2-3.4 ng L-1 for REEs and Th and 0.9-5.7 ng L-1 for heavy metals. Linear ranges from 0.1-1000 μg L-1 for REEs and 0.1-500 μg L-1 for heavy metals and Th were also observed. PPy-CO2 successfully preconcentrated and facilitated the determination of the targeted metal ions in water matrices of varying complexity, including tap water, well water, river water, and produced water samples. These results indicate the potential application of PPy-CO2 for larger-scale recovery and removal of valuable or hazardous metal ions.

Abstract
Due to their high specific surface and metal-binding functional groups in their crosslinked polymeric networks, monolithic materials incorporating a porous structure have been considered one of the most efficient kinds of adsorbents for rare earth element recovery. Herein, a facile and novel monolithic multi-porous carboxymethyl cellulose-g-poly(acrylamide)/attapulgite was synthesized by free radical polymerization via green vegetable oil-in-water Pickering medium internal phase emulsion (O/W Pickering-MIPEs), which was synergically stabilized by attapulgite and tween-20. The homogenizer rotation speed and time were investigated to form stable Pickering-MIPEs. The effects of different types of oil phase on the formation of Pickering-MIPEs were investigated with stability tests and rheological characterization. The structure and composition of the porous material when prepared with eight kinds of vegetable oil were characterized by FTIR and SEM. The results indicate that the obtained materials, which have abundant interconnected porosity, are comparable to those fabricated with Pickering-HIPE templates. The adsorption experiment demonstrated that the prepared materials have a fast capture rate and high adsorption capacities for Ce(III) and Gd(III), respectively. The saturation adsorption capacities for Ce(III) and Gd(III) are 205.48 and 216.73 mg/g, respectively, which can be reached within 30 min. Moreover, the monolithic materials exhibit excellent regeneration ability and reusability. This work provides a feasible and eco-friendly pathway for the construction of a multi-porous adsorbent for adsorption and separation applications.

Abstract
Rare earth elements are widely used in chemical engineering, the nuclear industry, metallurgy, medicine, electronics, and computer technology because of their unique properties. To fulfil ever increasing demands for these elements, recycling of rare-earth-element-containing products as well as their recovery from wastewater is quite important. In order to recover rare earth elements from wastewater, their adsorption from low-concentration aqueous solutions, by using nanomaterials, is investigated due to technological simplicity and high efficiency. This paper is a review of the state-of-the-art adsorption technologies of rare earth elements from diluted aqueous solutions by using various nanomaterials. Furthermore, desorption and reusability of rare earth metals and nanomaterials are discussed. On the basis of this review it can be concluded that laboratory testing indicates promising adsorption capacities, which depend significantly on nanomaterial type and adsorption conditions. The adsorption process, which mostly follows the Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, and Temkin isotherms, is typically endothermic and spontaneous. Furthermore, pseudo-second order, pseudo-first order, and intra-particle diffusion models are the best models to describe the kinetics of adsorption. The dominant adsorption mechanisms are surface complexation and ion exchange. More investigation, however, will be required in order to synthesize appropriate, environmentally friendly, and efficient nanomaterials for adsorption of rare earth elements from real wastewater.

Abstract
Conventional ion exchange resins are widely utilized to remove metals from aqueous solutions, but their limited selectivity precludes dilute ion extraction. This research investigated the adsorption performance of ligand-functionalized resins towards rare earth elements (REE). Functionalized resin particles were synthesized by grafting different ligands (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic dianhydride (DTPADA), phosphonoacetic acid (PAA), or N,N-bis(phosphonomethyl)glycine (BPG)) onto pre-aminated polymeric adsorbents (diameter ∼ 0.6 mm). Lanthanide uptake trends were evaluated for the functionalized resins using batch adsorption experiments with a mixture of three REEs (Nd, Gd, and Ho at 0.1-1000 mg/L each). Resin physical-chemical properties were determined by measuring their surface area, ligand concentrations, and acidity constants. The aminated supports contained 4.0 mmol/g primary amines, and ligand densities for the functionalized resins were 0.33 mmol/g (PAA), 0.22 mmol/g (BPG), and 0.42 mmol/g (DTPADA). Kinetic studies revealed that the functionalized resins followed pseudo-second order binding kinetics with rates limited by intraparticle diffusion. Capacity estimates for total REE adsorption based on Langmuir qMax were 0.12 mg/g (amine; ≈ 0.77 µmol/g), 5.0 mg/g (PAA; ≈ 32.16 µmol/g), 3.0 mg/g (BPG; ≈ 19.30 µmol/g), and 2.9 mg/g (DTPADA; ≈ 18.65 µmol/g). Attaching ligands to the aminated resins greatly improved their REE binding strength and adsorption efficiency.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were immobilized and cross-linked by high-gluten flour (HGF), and a series of biomass-GO composites with various HGF-to-GO mass ratios were fabricated through a one-step hydrothermal method. The HGF-GO composites were used as novel adsorbents to adsorb rare earth ions (REE3+: La3+, Yb3+, Y3+, Er3+ and Nd3+) from aqueous solutions, and their adsorption properties were also investigated detailly. To evaluate the physicochemical properties of HGF-GO composites and further understand the mechanisms of adsorption of REE3+ onto HGF-GO composites, the HGF-GO composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA), Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Several important condition parameters including contact time, initial REE3+concentrations, solution pH values and temperature that might affect the adsorption process were studied in detail. The maximum adsorption capacities of HGF-GO1:1 composite toward La3+, Yb3+, Y3+, Er3+ and Nd3+ were 30.32, 36.64, 32.84, 42.36 and 48.68 mg g-1, respectively. The experimental data indicated that the adsorption of REE3+ onto HGF-GO1:1 was well fitted by the pseudo-second order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model, and the adsorption process was a spontaneous and endothermic reaction. The HGF-GO1:1 composite could be well regenerated and reused after five adsorption-desorption cycles, and its removal efficiency for Yb3+ remained as a constant of 100%.

Abstract
A high surface area activated carbon prepared by an innovative approach using glucose as a carbon source and neutral potassium citrate (PC) as an activator was compared with the porous carbon from glucose using corrosive potassium hydroxide (KOH) as an activator. The PC method showed two notable advantages over KOH activation. The PC method not only significantly increased the yield of the activated carbon, particularly at high carbonization temperatures without sacrificing porosity, but also enhanced the oxygen content in the activated carbon. After investigating CO2 adsorption on these activated carbons, a remarkable uptake of 3.57 mmol g−1 at 25 °C at 1 bar was observed by the glucose–PC-derived carbon sample, which possessed the highest oxygen content. In addition, the glucose–PC-derived carbon samples exhibited higher CO2/N2 selectivity than the glucose–KOH derived samples. Coupled with the density functional theory (DFT) analysis that focused on the binding energy calculation, the doped oxygen-containing functional groups, such as carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, could effectively enhance the adsorption of CO2. A high surface area activated carbon which was prepared by an innovative approach using glucose as a carbon source and neutral potassium citrate as an activator was compared with the porous carbon using corrosive potassium hydroxide as activator.![]()
