Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:134996. [PMID: 39182872 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134996] [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: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 07/10/2024] [Accepted: 08/21/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024]
Abstract
The environmental pollution caused by heavy metal ions has become a serious global environmental issue. Heavy metal contaminants released from industrial effluents, agricultural runoff, and human activities, can enter into water resources. The toxicity of these heavy metal ions even at trace concentrations presents a substantial hazard to both aquatic systems and human well-being. The membrane separation processes have become more promising sustainable techniques for the separation of metal ions from the effluent. The research efforts have been concentrated on improving the synthesis of membranes and membrane materials to facilitate the sustainable separation of heavy metals. The application of chitosan in the fabrication of membranes is getting more attention. Chitosan, a natural polysaccharide derived from chitin, is abundant in nature and has active hydroxyl and amino groups suitable for the separation of heavy metal ions. It exhibits excellent chelating tendency, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. The functionalization of chitosan to improve its mechanical strength, chemical stability, and antifouling properties has become an ongoing area of research. This review examines the synthesis and efficient applications of chitosan blended membranes. The review concludes by outlining the current challenges and proposing future research prospects to enhance the applicability of chitosan-blended membranes in environmental remediation.

Valsalakumar VC, Sreevalli Y, P K A, Joseph AS, Ubaid S, Vasudevan S. Removal of anionic dye from textile effluent using zirconium phosphate loaded polyaniline-graphene oxide composite: Lab to pilot scale evaluation. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 368:122068. [PMID: 39116819 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.122068] [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: 04/17/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024]
Abstract
Efficient filtering of dyes is essential for the protection of ecosystem and human health due to the considerable water pollution caused by the effluents released from the sector. We present a simple, scalable UV radiation-assisted method for treating methyl orange dye-polluted water from the textile industry using zirconium phosphate-loaded polyaniline-graphene oxide (PGZrP) composite. The new material was synthesized by sonochemically incorporating a polyaniline-graphene oxide composite with hydrothermally synthesized zirconium phosphate. The efficacy of PGZrP in eliminating methyl orange was evaluated using experimental conditions, and the adsorption capacity was investigated as a function of pH, temperature, adsorbent dosage, and adsorption period. The system follows Langmuir adsorption isotherm with pseudo-second-order kinetics. Thermodynamics studies showed that enthalpy (H°) and entropy (S°) values are positive, indicating that the dye adsorption increases with increasing temperature and is an endothermic reaction. The maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 36.45379 mg/g for methyl orange. Using the COMSOL Multiphysics CFD Platform, an attempt was made to check the temperature and concentration profile of a PGZrP composite in a real industrial system. The predicted result shows that there is no significant temperature change in the material during the adsorption process and the concentration of dye is mainly located on the top region of the bed. The developed zirconium phosphate decorated polyaniline-graphene oxide composite can be successfully utilized for the effective removal of methyl orange from industrial wastewater in bulk quantity which is coming from the textile industry, and the composite can be reused for several cycles with good efficiency. In this work, we have designed a miniaturized proof of concept to remove methyl orange from water which showed good dye removal efficiency.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) has become the most attractive material for membrane technology owing to its potential application as a nanofiller in water treatment, purification, and desalination. In this study, we incorporated mica as a cross-linking reagent to increase the interlayer spacing and stability of GO sheets and fabricated a mica/GO (MGO) membrane for the first time. The MGO membrane (260 ± 10 nm) exhibits 100% rejection for biomolecules such as tannic acid (TA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) and >99% rejection for multiple probe molecules, such as methylene blue, methyl orange, congo red, and rhodamine B. The high rejection of membranes can be attributed to the surface interaction of mica with GO nanosheets through covalent interaction, which enhances the stability and separation efficiency of the membranes for probe ions and molecules. This ultrathin MGO membrane also exhibits much better water permeability at 870 ± 5 L m-2 h-1 bar-1, which is 10-100 times greater than that reported for pure GO and GO-based composite membranes. Additionally, the membrane shows high rejection for salt ions (70%). Furthermore, the stability of the MGO membranes was evaluated under various conditions, and the membranes demonstrated remarkable stability for up to 60 days in a neutral environment.
