Abstract
Bimetallic nanoparticles (BNPs) have been used as a new line of defence against heavy metal contamination among several types of nanoparticles (NPs) due to their enhanced, synergistic activity. In this study, we investigated the adsorption behaviour of porous (styrene-divinylbenzene)/CuNi bimetallic nanocomposite (P(St-DVB)/CuNi BNC) in a continuous flow fixed-bed column and its ability to remove Pb (II), Cd (II), and Zn (II) ions from aqueous solutions. We examined how the initial metal concentration, flow rate, and bed height affected the adsorption characteristics. Experimental results confirmed that the adsorption capacity increased with increase in influent metal concentration and bed height and decreased with increase in flow rate. The breakthrough and the column kinetic parameters were successfully predicted with three mathematical models: Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, and Adams-Bohart models. Both Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models showed good agreement with the experimental results for all the operating conditions. Successful desorption of heavy metals from the P(St-DVB)/CuNi BNC was performed using 0.5 M NaOH solution, and it showed good reusability of the adsorbent during four adsorption-desorption cycles. The results show that P(St-DVB)/CuNi BNC are effective and low-cost adsorbents, and they can be used in real-time large-scale industrial water treatment processes for the removal of heavy metals.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2019; 364:780-790.

Abstract
In this paper, a new core-shell nanostructured magnetic bio-based composite was prepared by immobilizing persimmon tannin (PT) onto Fe3O4@SiO2 microspheres, and the as designed Fe3O4@SiO2@PT was utilized for adsorptive recovery of Au(III) and Pd(II). The preparation, morphology, composition and magnetic property of Fe3O4@SiO2@PT were characterized. Adsorption parameters of Fe3O4@SiO2@PT towards Au(III) and Pd(II) including initial pH, reaction time, initial concentration of metal ions, effect of acidity and interference of coexisting metal ions were investigated. It is sufficiently confirmed that silica was coated on Fe3O4 and persimmon tannin was immobilized on aminated Fe3O4@SiO2. The thickness of silica and loaded persimmon tannin are around 18 nm and 14 nm, respectively. With only 1.00 wt% of persimmon tannin, however, the maximum adsorption capacities of Fe3O4@SiO2@PT for Au(III) and Pd(II) were as high as 917.43 and 196.46 mg·g-1, respectively. In addition, after adsorption of Au(III) and Pd(II), the magnetization saturation values (Ms) of Fe3O4@SiO2@PT were high enough to guarantee efficient magnetic seperation. Metallic gold could be facilely recovered from wastewaters containing Au(III).

Abstract
Agaricus bisporus showed best performance in removing Pb(II) with a biosorption capacity of 86.4 mg g(-1) after modification with NaOH. In this work, the removal of Pb(II) from wastewater has been conducted in column mode. The metal removal was dependent on the flow rate, initial metal concentration, and bed height. The experimental data obtained from the biosorption process was successfully correlated with the Bohart-Adams, Thomas, and Yoon-Nelson models. Five biosorption-desorption cycles yielded 95.34%, 92.27%, 90.13%, 86.75%, and 81.52% regeneration, respectively. Pb(II) could be effectively removed from industrial wastewater; some metal ions and organics were also removed concomitantly, and the obtained effluent had characteristics of better quality. The results confirmed that modified A. bisporus could be applied for the removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater in a continuous column process.

Abstract
The granules of Spirogyra neglecta biomass, diameter 0.2-0.5mm, were successfully prepared by boiling it in urea-formaldehyde mixture. Metal sorption performance of the column packed with Spirogyra granules was assessed under variable operating conditions, such as, different influent metal concentrations, bed heights and flow rates. These conditions greatly influenced the breakthrough time and volume, saturation time and volume, and the ability of the column to attain saturation after reaching the breakthrough. The experimental breakthrough curves obtained under varying experimental conditions were modeled using Bohart-Adams, Wolborska, Thomas, Yoon-Nelson and modified dose-response models. The first two models were valid only in representing the initial part of the breakthrough curves; however, the other three models were good in representing the entire breakthrough curve. The granule-packed column could be successfully used up to 6 and 9 cycles of sorption and desorption for the removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II), respectively. The column could efficiently remove different metals from real industrial effluents, and hence the test biomass (Spirogyra granules) is a good candidate for commercial application.

Abstract
This study describes the modification of aerobic granules by grafting polyethylenimine (PEI) for simultaneous sorption and detoxification of Cr(VI). After modification, the uptake capacity of modified aerobic granules (MAG) showed about 401.5 mg/g at pH 5.5 and increased by 274% compared to the control. Adsorption experiments were carried out as a function of contact time, pH and concentration of Cr(VI). It was found that the equilibrium sorption can be attained within 3 h and the process obeys the Redlich-Peterson isotherm model. The adsorption process is a function of pH of the solution, with the greater adsorption at pH 5.2. The interaction characteristics between the Cr and MAG were elucidated by applying FTIR and XPS analyses. FTIR results showed that the -NH2 groups in the sorbent are involved in the adsorption process. XPS results verified the presence of Cr(III) on the MAG surface in the pH range 1.5-8.5, suggesting that some Cr(VI) anions were reduced to Cr(III) during the sorption.

Abstract
Rapid chemical degradation of toxic RDX explosive in soil can be accomplished using zerovalent nanoiron suspension stabilized in dilute carboxymethyl cellulose solution (CMC-ZVINs). The effect of operating conditions (redox-potential, Fe/RDX molar ratio) was studied on batchwise removal of RDX in contaminated soil. While anaerobic conditions resulted in 98% RDX removal in 3 h, only slightly over 60% RDX removal could be attained under aerobic conditions. The molar ratio did not have any influence on the intermediate and final RDX degradation products (methylenedinitramine, nitroso derivative, N(2), N(2)O, NO(2)(-)), however, their distribution changed. Dynamic studies were conducted using a flow-through short column packed with RDX-contaminated soil and fed with CMC-ZVINs. The column was operated at two interstitial velocities (2.2 and 1.6 cm min(-1)), resulting in the 76.6% and 95% removal of the initial RDX soil contamination load (60 mg kg(-1)), respectively. While the column operating conditions could be further optimized, 95% of the RDX initially present in the contaminated soil packed in the column was degraded when flushed with a CMC-ZVINs suspension in this work.
