Abstract
The introduction of biopolymers, which are sustainable and green materials, desegregated nature's water purification proficiency with science and technology, opens a new sustainable methodology in water reclamation. In order to introduce an efficacious adsorbent system for MB dye-toxic pollutant, adsorption, providing robust mechanical properties and facile processability, a facile system was introduced via electrospinning utilizing polylactic acid (PLA) and Ti3C2Tx, viz., PMX. The addition of 3 wt.% Ti3C2Tx led to a 3-fold substantial augmentation in the uptake capacity of the membrane from 197.28 to 307 mg/g when the adsorbate concentration was 100 ppm. The adsorption followed a PSO behavior, proposing that the rate-limiting stage is chemisorption and data best fitted to Freundlich isotherm, indicating heterogeneous adsorption sites and multi-layer adsorption. Further, biodegradability was studied by simulating natural environmental conditions where the nanofibers exhibited 42-64% degradation after 270 days. Based on the result with PLA, it is anticipated that the prepared fibrous system will introduce a new perspective as a potential candidate for MB removal from wastewater, opening new directions toward the research and development in wastewater treatment with electrospun biopolymer fibers using waste PLA.

Abstract
A potential adsorbent, Sb4O5Cl2@NbSe2 composite, was generated from the Sb4O5Cl2 photocatalyst and 5 wt % layered 2H-NbSe2 nanoparticles for the highly effective removal of Cr(VI) and Fe(III) ions and methyl orange (MO) from aqueous solution, and a comparison was drawn against the precursors. Sb4O5Cl2 crystallites and NbSe2 nanoparticles were synthesized hydrothermally, and the composite was prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation technique. The crystal structure of Sb4O5Cl2 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) data. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) study revealed the 2H phase of NbSe2 nanoparticles. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analysis confirmed the formation of the spherical-shaped NbSe2 nanoparticles from rod-shaped bulk 2H-NbSe2. Morphological changes from the hexagonal to irregular prismatic shape were found upon the formation of the Sb4O5Cl2@NbSe2 composite compared to pure Sb4O5Cl2. Negative ζ-potential values indicated that electrostatic interactions were the predominant factor for the adsorption process. Sb4O5Cl2@NbSe2 provided removal efficiencies of 99% for MO in 6 h, 96.52% for Cr(VI) within 2.5 h, and 92.43% for Fe(III) within 4 h of 10 mg/L initial concentration. The maximum adsorption capacities of the composite for MO, Fe(III), and Cr(VI) were found to be 66.56, 131.48, and 122.30 mg/g, respectively, as calculated using the Langmuir isotherm equation.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is widely acknowledged as an efficient and environmentally friendly method for treating dye-contaminated wastewater. However, the utilization of powdered photocatalysts presents significant challenges, including issues related to recyclability and the potential for secondary pollution. Herein, a novel technique based on 3D printing for the synthesizing of iron oxide (Fe2O3) involving chlorella was presented. Initially, chlorella powders were immobilized within acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) substrate plastics using melt extrusion technology. Subsequently, these composite materials were transformed into ABS/TPU/chlorella skeletons (ATCh40), through fused deposition molding (FDM) technology. The integration of Fe2O3 onto the ATCh40 (ATCh40-Fe2O3) skeletons was accomplished by subjecting them to controlled heating in an oil bath. A comprehensive characterization of the synthesized materials confirms the successful growth of Fe2O3 on the surface of 3D skeletons. This strategy effectively addresses the immobilization challenges associated with powdered photocatalysts. In photocatalytic degradation experiments targeting methyl orange (MO), the ATCh40-Fe2O3 skeletons exhibited a remarkable MO removal rate of 91% within 240 min. Under conditions where the pH of MO solution was maintained at 3, and the ATCh40-Fe2O3 skeletons were subjected to a heat treatment in a 150 °C blast drying oven for 2 hours, the degradation rate of MO remained substantial, achieving 90% removal after 6 cycles. In contrast, when the same synthetic procedure was applied to ABS/TPU (AT) skeletons, the resulting product was identified as α-FeOOH. The MO removal rate by the AT-α-FeOOH skeletons was considerably lower, reaching only 49% after 240 min. This research provided a practical approach for the construction of photocatalytic devices through the use of 3D printing technology.

Abstract
A suitable adsorbent is essential in the process of removing hazardous vanadium(V) from actual groundwater. In this work, MIL-88A(Fe)/cotton (MC) was employed to eliminate V(V) from simulated vanadium-contaminated groundwater. The findings demonstrated that MC exhibited an exceptional performance in removing V(V), displaying a maximum adsorption capacity of 218.71 mg g-1. MC exhibits great promise as an adsorbent for V(V) elimination in an extensive pH range spanning 3 to 11. Even in the presence of high levels of competing ions such as Cl-, NO3-, and SO42-, MC demonstrated remarkable specificity in adsorbing V(V). The results of column experiments and co-occurring ions influence tests indicate that MC is a potential candidate for effectively treating actual vanadium-contaminated groundwater. The effluent could meet the vanadium content restriction of 50 μg L-1 required in China's drinking water sources. Regeneration of MC can be performed easily without experiencing significant capacity loss. The results obtained from this research indicate the promising potential of MC in mitigating vanadium pollution.

Abstract
In this paper, the physicochemical properties, surface charge, and crystal defects of MIL-88A (Al) were controlled by adjusting the ratio of metal ligands and temperature in the synthetic system without the addition of surfactants. The adsorption properties of different crystals for Congo red (CR) were studied. Among them, MIL-88A (Al)-130 and MIL-88A (Al)-d have the best adsorption properties. The maximum adsorption capacities are 600.8 and 1167 mg · g-1, respectively. Compared with MIL-88A (Al)-130, the adsorption performance of MIL-88A (Al)-d was increased by 94.2%, and the adsorption rate was increased by about 4 times. It can be seen that increasing the proportion of metal ligands within a certain range will improve the adsorption capacity. The structure and morphology of the adsorbent were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, EDS, TGA, BET, and zeta potential. The effects of time, temperature, pH, initial solution concentration, and dosage on CR adsorption properties were systematically discussed. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isothermal model can well describe the adsorption process, which indicates that the adsorption process is a single-layer chemisorption occurring on a uniform surface. According to thermodynamics, this adsorption is an endothermic process. The mechanism of CR removal is proposed as the electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bond, metal coordination effect, π-π conjugation, crystal defect, and pore-filling effect. In addition, MIL-88A (Al)-d has good repeatability, indicating that it is a good material for treating anionic dye wastewater.

Abstract
A novel reusable, high-compressible cotton regenerated cellulose/chitosan composite aerogel (RC/CSCA) was prepared using N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) as the green cellulose solvent, and glutaraldehyde (GA) as the crosslinking agent. The regenerated cellulose obtained from cotton pulp could chemically crosslink with chitosan and GA, to form a stable 3D porous structure. The GA played an essential role in preventing shrinkage and preserving the deformation recovery ability of RC/CSCA. Due to the ultralow density (13.92 mg/cm3), thermal stability (above 300 °C), and high porosity (97.36 %), the positively charged RC/CSCA can be used as a novel biocomposite adsorbent for effective and selective removal of toxic anionic dyes from wastewater, showing an excellent adsorption capacity, environmental adaptability, and recyclability. The maximal adsorption capacity and removal efficiency of RC/CSCA for methyl orange (MO) was 742.68 mg/g and 95.83 %.
