Abstract
Surfactants are widely used in many chemical industries and as primary components of cleaning detergents due to their specific characteristics, which in turn results in high pollution of domestic and industrial wastewaters by such substances. In this study, the mechanistic pathways of the adsorption of cationic benzyl-dimethyl-dodecyl ammonium bromide (BDDAB) and anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactants on kaolinite clay in water were investigated. The results showed that the adsorption of anionic surfactant (SDS) on kaolinite is better compared with cationic surfactant (BDDAB), wherein the ♦maximum adsorption capacity was found 161.4 μmol g-1 and 234 μmol g-1 for BDDAB and SDS, respectively. Adsorption kinetics were the best suited to pseudo-second-order model for both BDDAB and SDS with an adsorption rate constant of 0.028 g μmol-1 min-1 and 0.023 g μmol-1 min-1, respectively. Meanwhile, the adsorption of BDDAB by kaolinite showed that the isotherm adsorption tended to follow the Langmuir-Freundlich and Freundlich isotherm models. However, the SDS adsorption isotherm obeyed only the Langmuir-Freundlich model.

Abstract
Nanoarchitecture of hybrids materials based on clay minerals as nano building blocks for the environmental remediation is summarized with the emphasis on the utilization of layered clay minerals, especially smectite group of clay minerals, as nano building blocks for designing functional nanostructures for the adsorption of molecular contaminants from the environments. Smectites are well-known adsorbents of cationic contaminants, while surface modification of smectites with organoammonium ions has given hydrophobic and microporous characters to uptake nonionic organic contaminants from environments. Not only on the designed interactions between adsorbent-adsorbate for efficient and higher capacity adsorption, the states of the adsorbed nonionic organic compounds have been altered and varied by the modification of smectites as shown by the controlled release and specific catalytic reactions. The organically modified clays are classified from the nanoarchitecture, and the functions derived from the nanoarchitectures are discussed based on the structure-property relationship.

Abstract
Phosphate pollution remains a significant hazard to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. We developed an economical and efficient method for phosphate adsorption on waste construction concrete modified with seawater. Compared with raw concrete materials, the phosphate adsorption capacity of seawater-modified waste concrete was highly efficient, especially at low phosphate concentrations. The inflection point for seawater-modified concrete was 0.66 and 1.22 mg L for the raw material. The relative phosphate adsorption was 4.64 and 2.39 mg g, respectively. Phosphate removal was >90% over a pH range of 3 to 11 for the raw and modified materials. Chemical and physical analysis of the modified concrete indicated that Ca and Mg particles were uniformly sequestrated on the surface, and Ca was the determinant controlling phosphate uptake. Phosphate adsorption isotherms fit well using the Freundlich, Temkin, Elovich, Fowler-Guggenheim, and Hill-de Boer models and indicated that intermolecular forces in the concrete particles were enhanced by calcium oxides from seawater. This method can efficiently remove phosphate from polluted water and repurposes waste construction concrete.

Abstract
Among the wide range of materials used for remediating environmental contaminants, modified and functionalised nanoclays show particular promise as advanced sorbents, improved dispersants, or biodegradation enhancers. However, many chemically modified nanoclay materials are incompatible with living organisms when they are used in natural systems with detrimental implications for ecosystem recovery. Here we critically review the pros and cons of functionalised nanoclays and provide new perspectives on the synthesis of environmentally friendly varieties. Particular focus is given to finding alternatives to conventional surfactants used in modified nanoclay products, and to exploring strategies in synthesising nanoclay-supported metal and metal oxide nanoparticles. A large number of promising nanoclay-based sorbents are yet to satisfy environmental biocompatibility in situ but opportunities are there to tailor them to produce "biocompatible" or regenerative/reusable materials.

Abstract
Energy consumption is always a major issue hindering the universal application of membrane-based filtration system. We herein demonstrated a low-energy-consumption microfiltration system that can be operated under ambient pressure while a great metal ion rejection rate (>95%) accompanied by a high permeate flux (100 L/m2h) was concurrently reached. This achievement was closely correlated to the enhanced metal ion adsorption by grafted carboxyl groups at the cellulose filter paper through esterification. Adsorbed metal ions consequently enhanced Donnan exclusion effect and therefore high rejection rate was achieved. Rejection rate of modified membrane was strongly correlated to the formation constant of associated carboxyl group to metal ions. Our results would be important for developing low-energy-consumption filtration systems for water and wastewater treatment application.

Abstract
Three novel organic vermiculites (VER) modified by amphoteric surfactants (BS, SB and PBS) with different negatively charged groups (carboxylate, sulfonate and phosphate) were demonstrated and used for removal of bisphenol A (BPA) and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). The difference in the structure and surface properties of modified vermiculites were investigated using a series of characterization methods. BS and SB surfactant mainly adsorbed on the surface and hard to intercalate into the interlayer of VER, while both adsorption and intercalation occurred in PBS modification. This difference resulted in different packing density of surfactant and hydrophobicity according to the results of contact angle, and affect the adsorption capacities ultimately. The adsorption of two pollutants onto these modified vermiculites were very fast and well fitted with pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm. PBS-VER exhibited the highest adsorption capacity (92.67 and 88.87 mg g-1 for BPA and TBBPA, respectively) than other two modified vermiculites in this order PBS-VER > BS-VER > SB-VER. The ionic strength (Na+, Ca2+) and coexisting compounds (Pb2+, humic acid) have different effects on the adsorption. PBS-VER had a good reusability and could remove ionic (methylene blue and orange G) and molecular (BPA) pollutants simultaneously and effectively due to the function of amphoteric hydrophilic groups and alkyl chains. The results might provide novel information for developing low-cost and effective adsorbents for removal of neutral and charged organic pollutants.

Abstract
Determination of equilibrium constants describing chemical reactions in the aqueous phase and at solid-water interface relies on inverse modeling and parameter estimation. Although there are existing tools available, the steep learning curve prevents the wider community of environmental engineers and chemists to adopt those tools. Stemming from classical chemical equilibrium codes, MINEQL+ has been one of the most widely used chemical equilibrium software programs. We developed a spreadsheet-based tool, which we are calling MINFIT, that interacts with MINEQL+ to perform parameter estimations that optimize model fits to experimental data sets. MINFIT enables automatic and convenient screening of a large number of parameter sets toward the optimal solutions by calling MINEQL+ to perform iterative forward calculations following either exhaustive equidistant grid search or randomized search algorithms. The combined use of the two algorithms can securely guide the searches for the global optima. We developed interactive interfaces so that the optimization processes are transparent. Benchmark examples including both aqueous and surface complexation problems illustrate the parameter estimation and associated sensitivity analysis. MINFIT is accessible at http://minfit.strikingly.com .

Abstract
In this study, we exhibit the recycling of agriculture wastes of ramie stalk as bioadsorbents for Cd(2+) removal. Based on our experimental results, it is realized that Cd(2+) adsorption to ramie stalk is highly pH sensitive, indicating the adsorption is driven by surface complexation reaction. The high adsorption capacity of ramie stalk toward Cd(2+) (qm = 10.33 mg g(-1), 0.09 mol-Cd g(-1)), which corresponds to around 21.95% of active adsorption sites available of ramie stalk, is believed to be closely related to its high cellulose and lignin content. The inhomogeneous surface of ramie stalk due to the high cellulose and lignin content also accounts for the observation that the adsorption kinetic is described well by the pseudo second order kinetic model. Results from thermodynamic studies suggest that the adsorption process is endothermic and spontaneous. All these properties demonstrate the potential of ramie stalk as a low cost bioadsorbent for the application of heavy metal removal.
