Processes and mechanisms in remediation of aqueous chromium contamination by sulfidated nano-scale zerovalent iron (S-nZVI): Experimental and computational investigations. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 469:134031. [PMID: 38518701 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2024] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/24/2024]
Abstract
Sulfidated nano-scale zerovalent iron (S-nZVI) has emerged as an advanced functional nanomaterial for efficiently remediating Cr(VI) contamination in aqueous environments. However, there is an insufficient understanding of its coherent process, removal pathway, and hydrochemical reactive mechanisms, presenting potential challenges for its future environmental applications. To address this gap, this study successfully synthesized S-nZVI through a chemical precipitation method and effectively applied it for the removal of Cr(VI). Additional characterization revealed that the removal of Cr(VI) followed a sequence of rapid chemisorption and intraparticle diffusion processes, concomitant with an increase in pH and a decrease in oxidation-reduction potential. The remediation mechanism encompassed a synergistic reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) and simultaneous immobilization via Cr2FeO4 coprecipitation. The highest Cr(VI) removal capacity of 75 mg/g was attained during dynamic removal experiments in the sand column packed with S-nZVI. Further computational analysis, employing density functional theory calculations based on the experimental data, revealed the involvement of multiple molecular orbitals of Cr(VI) in the removal process. It also elucidated a step-by-step reduction pathway for Cr(VI) characterized by decreasing free energy. These findings provide evidence-based insights into Cr(VI) remediation using S-nZVI and can serve as valuable technical support for future environmental management of heavy metals.

Polypyrrole Coating via Lemieux-von Rudloff Oxidation on Magnetite Nanoparticles for Highly Efficient Removal of Chromium(VI) from Wastewater. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:19077-19088. [PMID: 38708251 PMCID: PMC11064182 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c09864] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
An alternative way for the coating of polypyrrole (PPy) polymer on hydrophobic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles is reported here to capture toxic chromium ions, Cr (VI), present in water. Iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4) were synthesized by the conventional coprecipitation technique using FeCl3·6H2O and FeSO4·7H2O iron precursors and subsequently modified with oleic acid (OA). Then OA-Fe3O4 hydrophobic nanoparticles were oxidized using the Lemieux-von Rudloff reaction to transfer OA into hydrophilic azelaic acid (AA) (HOOC(CH2)7COOH-modified magnetic nanoparticles (AA-Fe3O4). Finally, a PPy polymer coating was formed by a seeded polymerization of pyrrole, using AA-Fe3O4 as seeds. The average size of PPy/Fe3O4 nanocomposites is 12.33 nm and is almost spherical in shape. The surface composition is confirmed by FTIR and thermogravimetry analyses. An X-ray diffraction study confirmed the formation of highly crystalline Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and the crystallinity was retained after the surface modification. The adsorption study suggested that the Cr(VI) ion adsorption is highly pH-dependent and the maximum amount of adsorption is obtained at pH 2.0. The adsorption results revealed that the Langmuir model provided the best fit for the isotherm, with a maximum adsorption capacity reaching approximately 173.22 mg g-1 at 323 K. Spontaneous and endothermic adsorption processes were confirmed by evaluating the thermodynamic parameters obtained in this investigation. The kinetics study showed that the interaction between Cr(VI) ions and magnetic nanocomposites was directed by a pseudo-second-order rate process indicating chemisorption. The prepared PPy/Fe3O4 nanocomposites would be promising adsorbents to purify water by eliminating Cr(VI) metal ions from wastewater.

A facile strategy for preparation of Fe 3O 4 magnetic nanoparticles using Cordia myxa leaf extract and investigating its adsorption activity in dye removal. Sci Rep 2024; 14:84.

Abstract
This study demonstrates the successful, facile, and cost-effective preparation of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MNPs) via green procedure using Cordia myxa leaf extracts for efficient adsorption of methylene blue (MB) as a model of organic pollutant. The formation of Fe3O4 NPs was confirmed by a range of spectroscopy and microscopy techniques including FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, EDS, VSM, TGA, and BET-BJH. The synthesized spherical nanoparticles had a high specific surface area of 115.07 m2/g with a mesoporous structure. The formed Fe3O4 MNPs exhibited superparamagnetic behavior with saturation magnetization of 49.48 emu/g. After characterization, the adsorptive performance of the synthesized MNPs toward MB was evaluated. To achieve the maximum removal efficiency, the effect of key parameters such as adsorbent dosage (MNPs), initial adsorbate concentration, pH, and contact time on the adsorption process was evaluated. A maximum adsorption capacity of 17.79 mg/g was obtained, after one-hour incubation at pH 7.5. From the pHPZC of 7.1 of the synthesized adsorbent, the electrostatic attraction between MB and Fe3O4 NPs plays an important role in the adsorption process. The adsorption experimental data showed the closest match with the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm. The prepared Fe3O4 NPs were easily recovered by an external magnet and could be reused several times. Therefore, the synthesized MNPs seem to be excellent adsorbents for the removal of MB from aqueous solution.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1281:341905. [PMID: 38783743 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341905] [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: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogenic bacterium that can lead to severe illnesses, especially among vulnerable populations. Therefore, the development of rapid and sensitive detection methods is vital to prevent and manage foodborne diseases. In this study, we used tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA)-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)-based CRISPR/Cas12a-based biosensor to concentrate and detect, respectively, L. monocytogenes. LAMP enables DNA amplification at a constant temperature, providing a highly suitable approach for point-of-care testing (POCT). The ability of CRISPR/Cas12a to cleave ssDNA reporter, coupled with TEPA-functionalized MNPs effective attachment to negatively charged bacteria, forms a promising biosensor. RESULTS The LAMP assay was meticulously developed by selecting specific primers and designing crRNA sequences targeting a specific region within the hly gene of L. monocytogenes. We selected primer and refined the amplification conditions by systematically exploring a temperature range from 59 °C to 69 °C, ensuring the attainment of optimal performance. This process was complemented by systematic optimization of LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a system parameters. In particular, we successfully established the optimal ssDNA reporter concentrations (0-1.2 μM) and Cas12a-mediated trans-cleavage times (0-20 min), crucial components that underpin the effectiveness of the LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a-based biosensor. For optimizing parameters in capturing L. monocytogenes using TEPA-functionalized MNPs, capture efficiency was significantly enhanced through adjustments in TEPA-functionalized MNPs concentration, incubation times, and magnetic separation duration. Large-volume (20 mL) magnetic separation exhibited a 10-fold sensitivity improvement over conventional methods. Utilizing TEPA-functionalized MNPs, the LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a-based biosensor achieved detection limits of 100 CFU mL-1 in pure cultures and 100 CFU g-1 in enoki mushrooms. SIGNIFICANCE The integration of this novel technique with the LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a-based biosensor enhances the accuracy and sensitivity of L. monocytogenes detection in foods, and it can be a promising biosensor for POCT. The 10-fold increase in sensitivity compared to conventional methods makes this approach a groundbreaking advancement in pathogenic bacteria detection for food safety and public health.

Abstract
A novel Cr (VI) removal material was designed and produced comprising multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as a support with a high specific surface area and the loaded Fe-Ni bimetallic particles as catalytic reducing agents. Such a design permits the composite particle to perform the adsorption, reduction, and immobilisation of Cr (VI) quickly and efficiently. Due to MWCNTs' physical adsorption, Cr (VI) in solution aggregates in the vicinity of the composite, and Fe rapidly reduces Cr (VI) to Cr (III) catalysed by Ni. The results demonstrated that the Fe-Ni/MWCNTs exhibits an adsorption capacity of 207 mg/g at pH = 6.4 for Cr (VI) and 256 mg/g at pH 4.8, which is about twice those reported for other materials under similar conditions. The formed Cr (III) is solidified to the surface by MWCNTs and remains stable for several months without secondary contamination. The reusability of the composites was proven by retaining at least 90% of the adsorption capacity for five instances of reutilization. Considering the facile synthesis process, low cost of raw material, and reusability of the formed Fe-Ni/MWCNTs, this work shows great potential for industrialisation.

Abstract
Rapid and portable water purification (RPWP) technologies, helping travelers survive in the wild, have attracted increasing interest due to increasing activities, such as exploration, field hiking, and excursion. Field water is usually pathogenic because of various soluble and insoluble contaminants. In this study, fish-gill-like biomimetic core-shell-structured nanofiber membranes are designed and synthesized by an in situ oxidation polymerization coating process. A polyimide nanofiber membrane and a polypyrrole (PPy) coating layer are employed as a core and shell, respectively. The biomimetic membranes exhibit dual-functional capacities: a rapid removal of insoluble contaminants owing to the highly porous network and broad-spectrum adsorption of soluble contaminants enabled by the PPy shell. Model studies confirm the excellent ability of the membranes to purify Cr(VI)-contaminated water to drinkable water with a safe capacity of ∼1415 L m-2. Actual application tests show that the membrane can efficiently remove coliform and suspended solids in a muddy water sample taken from a river in Suzhou, China. This study provides a promising route for the design of a single-layer membrane with dual functions for highly efficient RPWP.

Abstract
AbstractThe development of hexaferrite nanoparticles is scrutinized as potential sorbents for the removal of chromium (Cr) ions from aqueous chromium-containing solutions in a batch adsorption experiment. The transition metal Co doped BaFe12O19 hexaferrite compounds (BHF) have been synthesized successfully via citrate auto combustion technique. The structure, surface morphology and magnetic properties of the samples were studied. X-ray diffraction pattern ratifies the existence of hexagonal phase as a main phase for the prepared samples. The average crystallite sizes are found in the range of 47–49 nm. The high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), as well as the Fourier, transform infrared spectrophotometry results confirm an M-type hexagonal structure existing. The χ-T indicates the temperature-dependent ferromagnetic behavior of BHF nanoparticles. The derivative shows a single transition temperature Tc at 698 °C, and 710 °C for BHF and BCHF respectively. The prepared samples are utilized as an adsorbent for the removal of Cr (VI) from the aqueous solution. The maximum adsorption capacity (qm) of Cr (VI) on the nano hexaferrite is higher than that of various other adsorbents testified in the literature. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model gives a better fit to the experimental data.

Abstract
We designed and synthesized a novel high efficiency Cr(VI) removal material using reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as a support with high specific surface area and a mixture of Fe and Ni nanoparticles (NPs) as a catalytic reducing agent. Such a design enables the composite particle to be integrated with three functions of adsorption, catalysis, and reduction, where RGO could enhance Cr(VI) adsorption, while Fe/Ni NPs increase the catalytic reducing efficiency. The application of a microchip mixer guaranteed a better mixing of GO and subsequent decoration of Fe and Ni NPs on RGO. Cr(VI) removal experiments with various materials are performed, and the results demonstrated that the Ni-Fe/RGO achieved an adsorption capacity of 150.45 mg/g at pH = 7 and 197.43 mg/g at pH = 5 for Cr(VI), which is higher than those of other reported materials at a pH of ∼7. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of Ni-Fe/RGO for efficient Cr(VI) removal by using the synergistic effects of increased adsorption, catalysis-assisted reduction, and enhanced mixing effect of a microchip mixer. This work also provides us with a simple and low-cost method for the fabrication of an effective Cr(VI) removal material.

Abstract
Sulfidated nanoscale valent iron in form of FeS/Fe (0) shell-core nanoparticle has the aptitude to be a promising remediation material toward reductive removal of metal oxyanions. However, disrupted contact between Fe (0) core and FeS shell by thick iron oxides limited its reactivity improvement, and its mechanism of electron transfer remains unveiled. In this study, a novel sulfidated nZVI core-shell particles (FeS/Fe (0)) was fabricated via a modified post sulfidation approach to achieve a more uniform coverage of FeS for aqueous Cr(VI) sequestration. SEM and STEM tests confirmed the formation of the core-shell FeS/Fe (0) structure with a more solid interaction between FeS layer and Fe (0) core. The highest Cr(VI) removal rate was offered at optimal S/Fe molar ratio of 1/25 that the most chelated Fe2+ was also observed. The improved performance was due to that FeS shell with greater electronegativity could significantly accelerate the corrosion of Fe (0), facilitate the electron transfer form Fe (0) core to FeS shell according to the electrochemical tests. Moreover, FeS shell provided a protective layer for Fe (0) core so as to alleviate its anoxic passivation in water that FeS/Fe (0) had a better longevity for Cr(VI) removal than nFe (0). Characterizations of STEM and XPS revealed that Cr(VI) was reduced to Cr(III) and evenly coprecipitated with surface Fe(II)/Fe(III).

Abstract
The discharge of toxic heavy metals including zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), and cadmium (Cd) in water above the permissible limits causes high threat to the surrounding environment. Because of their toxicity, heavy metals greatly affect the human health and the environment. Recently, better remediation techniques were offered using the nanotechnology and nanomaterials. The attentions were directed toward cost-effective and new fabricated nanomaterials for the application in water/wastewater remediation, such as zeolite, carbonaceous, polymer based, chitosan, ferrite, magnetic, metal oxide, bimetallic, metallic, etc. This review focused on the synthesis and capacity of various nanoadsorbent materials for the elimination of different toxic ions, with discussion of the effect of their functionalization on the adsorption capacity and separation process. Additionally, the effect of various experimental physicochemical factors on heavy metals adsorption, such as ionic strength, initial ion concentration, temperature, contact time, adsorbent dose, and pH was discussed.

Abstract
Recently, the recycling of kerf loss silicon waste has trigged much attention due to the rapid growth of PV market. In this study, 3-aminopropylethoxysilane (APTES)-functionalized nanoporous silicon (NPSi) hybrid materials were prepared by nanosilver-assisted chemical etching (Ag-ACE) of kerf loss silicon waste derived from diamond-wire saw cutting silicon ingot process. The resulting APTES-NPSi indicated high-effective adsorption ability of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution, which was highly pH dependent, and the maximum adsorption capacity reached up to 103.75 mg/g after 60 min at room temperature. The adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms were in good agreement with pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm. Additionally, the Cr(VI) up-take mechanism was carefully investigated and ascribed to the Cr(VI) adsorption on the protonated anime groups by chemical chelating reaction in which the Cr(VI) was reduced to Cr(III). It was worth mentioning that the APTES-NPSi maintained excellent adsorption capacity after five successive regenerated cycles. Therefore, the work would pave the way for recycling of silicon cutting waste and the potential of Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solution based on the modified NPSi.

Abstract
Dichromate is a widespread contaminant in wastewater, threatening the health of humans and other organisms. Therefore, effective detection and removal of dichromate from water is of great significance. Herein, a tetraphenylethylene functionalized cationic organic network (CON-LDU2) was constructed via a facile quaternization reaction. CON-LDU2 was successfully integrated with both detection and removal functionalities toward dichromate. On the one hand, benefiting from the strong fluorescence, CON-LDU2 was employed as a chemosensor, it could efficiently and selectively probe Cr2O72- in water with "turn-off" fluorescent response. On the other hand, the cationic skeleton and free anions inside framework make CON-LDU2 an excellent adsorbent for Cr2O72-, it could capture Cr2O72- from water with rapid kinetics and high capacity. The kinetic constant for adsorption of Cr2O72- can reach up to 1.784 g mg-1 min-1, while the capacity is determined as 325 mg g-1. Furthermore, CON-LDU2 displayed good recyclability and can be reused for at least 5 cycles. Therefore, CON-LDU2 can serve as an ideal candidate not only in detection but also in removal of Cr2O72- in water medium.

Abstract
Sulfidation of nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) has attracted increasing interest for improving the reactivity and selectivity of nZVI towards various contaminants, such as aqueous Cr(VI) removal. However, the benefits derived from sulfide modification that govern the removal of Cr(VI) remains unclear, which was studied in this work. S-nZVI with higher S/Fe molar ratio showed higher surface area, the discrepancy between the surface-area-normalized removal capacity of Cr(VI) by S-nZVI with different S/Fe indicated that the removal of Cr(VI) was also affected by other factors, such as electron transfer ability, surface-bounded Fe(II) species, and surface charges. High specific surface area would provide more active site for Cr(VI) removal, and as an efficient electron conductor, acicular-like FeSx phase would also favor electron transfer from Fe0 core to Cr(VI). Low initial pH also enhanced the Cr(VI) removal, and the Cr(VI) removal capacity by S-nZVI and nZVI was not affected by aging process, these results confirmed that the Fe(II) species also played an important role in the Cr(VI) removal. Other influence factors were also investigated for potential application, including temperature, initial Cr(VI) concentration, ionic strength, and co-existed ions. The removal mechanism of Cr(VI) by S-nZVI involved the sulfide modification to increase the specific surface area and provide more active sites, the corrosion of Fe0 to produce surface-bounded Fe(II) species to adsorb Cr(VI) species, followed by the favored reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) due to the electron transfer ability of FeSx, then the formation of Cr(III)/Fe(III) hydroxides precipitates.

Abstract
By utilizing the synergistic effect of chitosan (CS), magnetite (Fe3O4) particles, and graphene oxide (GO), a series of efficient and eco-friendly chitosan/magnetite-graphene oxide (CS/MGO) composites were fabricated through a facile chemical route. First, Fe3O4 particles were chemically deposited on the surface of GO to fabricate MGO hybrid. Then, chitosan was attached on MGO sheets, assembling to CS/MGO composites. According to the results of characterization, the covalent Fe-O-C bonds, electrostatic attraction, and hydrogen bonding between GO, Fe3O4, and chitosan ensure excellent structural stability and physico-chemical properties. The adsorption of Cr(VI) onto CS/MGO composites was also carried out under various conditions (content of CS, pH, initial concentration, contact time, and temperature). The CS/MGO composites possess high removal capacity for Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. Moreover, results also suggested that the CS/MGO composites had a strong reducing action for Cr(VI). When adsorption occurred, Cr(VI) and Cr(III) were simultaneously removed by CS/MGO composites. In addition, CS/MGO composites could retain good Cr(VI) removal efficiency after reuse over five cycles. CS/MGO composites are expected to have potential applications as easily regenerative bioadsorbents for Cr(VI) polluted water cleanup.

Abstract
A magnetic cation-exchange resin (MCER) was prepared by copolymerization of oleic acid-grafted magnetite with styrene, divinylbenzene (DVB), and triallylisocyanurate (TAIC) for removing Cd(II) from wastewater. A non-magnetic cation-exchange polystyrene resin (CEPR) was also prepared as a reference. Structural and morphological analyses revealed that the MCER and CEPR were mesoporous microspheres; the MCER contained about 25% Fe3O4. The influence of temperature, pH, contact time, and the initial concentration of Cd(II) on the adsorption of Cd(II) was investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity of the MCER reached 88.56 mg/g, which was achieved at 343 K using a Cd(II) initial concentration of 200 mg/L. The adsorption processes attained equilibrium within 120 min for the MCER and 300 min for the CEPR, and were well described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Furthermore, the equilibrium adsorption data fitted the Freundlich isotherm model better than the Langmuir model. The superior magnetic response and regeneration of the MCER make it a good candidate as an adsorbent for removing Cd(II) from wastewater.

Abstract
A tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA)-functionalized nano-Fe3O4 magnetic composite material (nFe3O4@TEPA) was synthesized by a facile one-pot solvothermal method. It was characterized by elementary analysis (EA), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The results show that the nFe3O4@TEPA has an average size of ∼20 nm, with a saturation magnetization intensity of 48.2 emu g−1. Its adsorption properties were investigated by adsorbing fluorine ions, phosphate, Cr(vi) and their co-existing water system. The adsorption performance was studied as a function of solution pH, initial concentration of ions, contact time and temperature for each ion. The adsorption of the multi-ion co-existing system was studied via batch tests, XPS and FTIR analyses. The effect of co-existing ions was studied through Box-Behnken Design (BBD) and response surface methodology (RSM). It can be deducted that the adsorption mechanism of an individual fluorine ion or phosphate was mainly related to electrostatic attraction, while that of Cr(vi) might be mainly related to electrostatic attraction and coordination interactions. For the fluorine ion and phosphate bi-component system, their adsorption was competitive via ion exchange. For the Cr(vi), fluorine ion and phosphate tri-component co-existing system, Cr(vi) took priority for adsorption and could replace the absorbed fluorine ion or phosphate by competitive reaction, but not vice versa. A tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA)-functionalized nano-Fe3O4 magnetic composite material (nFe3O4@TEPA) was synthesized by a facile one-pot solvothermal method.![]()

Abstract
In this study, activated carbon (AC) was prepared from walnut shell using chemical activation. The surface chemistry of the prepared AC was modified by introducing or blocking certain functional groups, and the role of the different functional groups involved in the copper uptake was investigated. The structural and chemical heterogeneity of the produced carbons are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Boehm titration method and N2/77 K adsorption isotherm analysis. The equilibrium and the kinetics of copper adsorption onto AC were studied. The results demonstrated that the functional groups on AC played an important role in copper uptake. Among various surface functional groups, the oxygen-containing group was found to play a critical role in the copper uptake, and oxidation is the most effective way to improve Cu (II) adsorption onto AC. Ion-exchange was identified to be the dominant mechanism in the copper uptake by AC. Some other types of interactions, like complexation, were also proven to be involved in the adsorption process, while physical force was found to play a small role in the copper uptake. The regeneration of copper-loaded AC and the recovery of copper were also studied to evaluate the reusability of the oxidized AC.

Abstract
Recently, two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have received tremendous attention in many fields including environmental remediation. Magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4NPs) decorated with MoS2 (MoS2@Fe3O4NPs) have been synthesized via a new one-step synthesis route and utilized as an efficient adsorbent for removal of Cr(VI)/Cr(III) from aqueous solutions. The obtained MoS2@Fe3O4NPs with numerous surface hydroxyl groups show uniform size and shape, excellent water-dispersibility, and superior magnetic property to enhance the adsorption. The physicochemical properties of the adsorbent prior to and after adsorption of Cr(VI)/Cr(III) were extensively characterized using several advanced instrumental techniques.The adsorption of Cr(VI)/Cr(III) on MoS2@Fe3O4NPs was performed under batch conditions aiming at identification of optimal contact time, pH value of chromium solution, and influence of the presence of competitive ions. This study was supported by modeling of adsorption equilibrium and kinetics by using empirical equations.

Abstract
In this work, microgels based on tris(2-aminoethyl) amine (TAEA) and glycerol diglycidyl ether (GDE) via simple microemulsion polymerization was prepared as p(TAEA-co-GDE) microgels were used as adsorbent for removal of dichromate (Cr (VI)) and arsenate (As (V)) ions from different aqueous environments. The p(TAEA-co-GDE) microgels were demonstrated very efficient adsorption capacity for Cr (VI), and As (V) that are 164.98 mg/g, and 123.64 mg/g from distilled (DI) water, respectively. The effect of the medium pH on the adsorption capacity of p(TAEA-co-GDE) microgels for Cr (VI) and As (V) ions were investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity was obtained at pH 4.0 for both ions with maximum adsorbed amounts of 160.62, and 98.72 mg/g, respectively. In addition, the microgels were also shown moderate adsorption capacity for Cr (VI) and As (V) from other water sources; tap water with 115.18 mg/g and 82.86 mg/g, sea water with 64.24 mg/g and 46.88 mg/g and creek water with 73.52 mg/g and 59.33 mg/g, respectively. Moreover, the increase in adsorbent dose from 0.025 to 0.125 g enhanced % adsorption of Cr (VI) from 54.13 to 98.03, and As (V) from % 26.72-98.70, respectively. For the adsorption process Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms were applied and found that Langmuir adsorption isotherm with R2 value of 0.99 for both the metal ions are suitable. Moreover, the experimental adsorption capacities of Cr (VI) and As (V) were found very close to the theoretical values calculated from Langmuir adsorption isotherm. More importantly, the microgels were made magnetic responsive to recover them easily from adsorption medium for reuse studies by applying external magnetic field with little decrease in adsorption capacity. Additionally, reusability of p(TAEA-co-GDE) microgels was also evaluated for adsorption of Cr (VI) and As (V) from DI water.

Abstract
In this study, apple, banana and orange peels were used as precursor compounds for the mass production of magnetite/carbon adsorbents. A so-called "soak-calcination" procedure was employed by firstly soaking these waste fruit peels in FeCl3 aqueous solutions and secondly calcining these precursors in the nitrogen atmosphere to yield final magnetite/carbon composites. This approach is quite simple and effective to synthesize carbon-based adsorbents on an industrial scale. The as-produced adsorbents feature the merits of appropriate ferromagnetism (>4emug-1), high adsorption capacity (several hundreds of milligrams per gram for adsorption of methyl blue, Congo red, rhodamine B and Cr6+ ions), and good regenerability (>85%).

Abstract
The grafting of amino and carboxylic acid groups on cellulose increased La(III) sorption efficiency of cellulose: maximum sorption capacity increased from 38mgLag-1 for cellulose to 101 and 170mgLag-1 for amino derivative (PAC) and amino-carboxylic derivative (PCMC). Langmuir equation successfully fits sorption isotherms while uptake kinetics are effectively modeled using the pseudo-first order rate equation (though resistance to intraparticle diffusion plays a significant role in the control of metal recovery). Uptake equilibrium occurred within 150-180min. The thermodynamic study shows that the reaction is spontaneous, endothermic and entropic. Nitric acid solutions (0.5M concentration) can be efficiently used for metal recovery and sorbent can be recycled for at least 5 cycles with limited decrease in sorption performance for the three sorbents. The materials were characterized by elemental analysis, acid-base titration, FTIR spectrometry, x-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, SEM-EDX analysis and also by TGA.

ROYAL SOCIETY OPEN SCIENCE 2016; 3:160524.

Abstract
In this study, a facile and versatile urea-assisted approach was proposed to synthesize Chinese rose-like NiO, pinecone-like ZnO and sponge-like CoO adsorbents. The presence of urea during syntheses endowed these adsorbents with high concentration of surface hydroxyl groups, which was estimated as 1.83, 1.32 and 4.19 mmol [OH-] g-1 for NiO, ZnO and CoO adsorbents, respectively. These surface hydroxyl groups would facilitate the adsorption of Cr(vi) species (e.g. HCrO4-, Cr2O72- and CrO42-) from wastewater by exchanging with hydroxyl protons or hydroxide ions, and hence result in extremely high maximum adsorbed amounts of Cr(vi), being 2974, 14 256 and 408 mg g-1 for NiO, ZnO and CoO adsorbents in the pH range of 5.02-5.66 at 298 K, respectively. More strikingly, the maximum adsorbed amounts of Cr(vi) would be greatly enhanced as the adsorbing temperature is increased, and even amount to 23 411 mg g-1 for ZnO adsorbents at 323 K. Based on the kinetics and equilibrium studies of adsorptive removal of Cr(vi) from wastewater, our synthetic route will greatly improve the adsorptivity of the as-synthesized metal-oxide adsorbents, and hence it will shed new light on the development of high-performance adsorbents.

Abstract
In this work, a novel "Dumbbell-like" magnetic Fe3O4/Halloysite nanohybrid (Fe3O4/HNTs@C) with oxygen-containing organic group grafting on the surface of natural halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) and homogeneous Fe3O4 nanospheres selectively aggregating at the tips of modified halloysite nanotubes was successfully synthesized. XRD, TEM, IR spectroscopy, XPS and VSM were used to characterize this newly halloysite nanohybrid and its formation mechanism was discussed. Cr(VI) ions adsorption experiments showed that the Fe3O4/halloysite nanohybrid exhibited higher adsorption ability with a maximum adsorption capacity of 132 mg/L at 303K, which is about 100 times higher than that of unmodified halloysite nanotubes. More importantly, with the reduction of Fe3O4 and electron-donor effect of oxygen-containing organic groups, Cr(VI) ions were easily reduced into low toxicity Cr(III) and then adsorbed onto the surface of halloysite nanohybrid. In addition, appreciable magnetization was observed due to the aggregation of magnetite nanoparticles, which make adsorbent facility separated from aqueous solutions after Cr pollution adsorption.

Abstract
Chelating magnetic nanocomposites have been considered as suitable materials for removal of heavy metal ions for water treatment. In this work poly(glycidyl methacrylate-maleic anhydride) copolymer (PGMA-MAn) is modified with 4-aminobenzenesulfonic acid (ABSAc) and subsequently the product reacted with modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles and 1,2-ethanedithiol (EDT) in the presence of ultrasonic irradiation for preparation of tridimensional chelating magnetic nanocomposite. Synthesized magnetic nanocomposite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), elemental mapping analysis (EMA), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption behavior of Cu(II) ions was investigated by synthesized nanocomposite in various parameters such as pH, contact time, metal ion concentration, and adsorbent dosage. The equilibrium distribution coefficient (kd) was determined and the findings prove that the kd value is approximately high in the case of all selected metal ions. The synthesized nanocomposite exhibited good tendency for removing Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions even at an acidic pH.

Abstract
In this work, super paramagnetic magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized onto/into zeolite, then loaded with anti-cancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The physical properties of the prepared nanocomposite and drug loaded nanocomposite were characterized using different techniques. The drug loading and releasing behavior of the magnetic nanocarrier was investigated and the drug-loaded nanoparticles exhibited a sustained release of drug without any burst release phenomenon. Furthermore, 5-FU loaded MZNC were evaluated for its biological characteristics. The functional 5-FU-MZNC has been triggered intra-cellular release of the cancer therapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Cytotoxic effects of 5-FU loaded MZNC on human gastric carcinoma (AGS) cells were determined by real time cell analysis and colorimetric WST-1 cell viability assay. Apoptosis of cells was further investigated by Annexin-V staining which indicates the loss of cell membrane integrity. According to our results, 5-FU-MZNC showed a concentration-dependent cell proliferation inhibitory function against AGS cells. Morphologic and apoptotic images were consistent with the cytotoxicity results. In conclusion, 5-FU loaded MZNC efficiently inhibit the proliferation of AGS cells in vitro through apoptotic mechanisms, and may be a beneficial agent against cancer, however further animal study is still required.

Abstract
In this study, nanocomposite of graphene oxide and silane modified magnetic nanoparticles (silane@Fe3O4) were synthesized in a form of dendritic structure. For this, silane@Fe3O4 nanoparticle gets sandwiched between two layers of graphene oxide by chemical synthesis route. The synthesized dendritic structure was used as a monomer for synthesis of europium ion imprinted polymer. The synthesis of imprinted polymer was contemplated onto the surface of the vinyl group modified silica fiber by activated generated free radical atom-transfer radical polymerization, that is, AGET-ATRP technique. The synthesized dendritic monomer was characterized by XRD, FT-IR, VSM, FE-SEM, and TEM analyses. The imprinted polymer modified silica fiber was first validated in the aqueous and blood samples for successful extraction and detection of europium ion with limit of detection = 0.050 pg mL(-1) (signal/noise = 3). The imprinted polymer modified silica fiber was also used for preconcentration and separation of europium metal ion from various soil samples of coal mine areas. However, the same silica fiber was also used for wastewater treatment and shows 100% performance for europium removal. The findings herein suggested that dendritic nanocomposite could be potentially used as a highly effective material for the enrichment and preconcentration of europium or other trivalent lanthanides/actinides in nuclear waste management.

Abstract
Silica nanotubes (SNTs) with controlled nanotubular structure were synthesized via an electrospinning and calcination process. In this regard, SNTs were found to be ideal adsorbents for Pb(II) removal with a higher adsorption capacity, and surface modification of the SNTs by sym-diphenylcarbazide (SD-SNTs) markedly enhanced the adsorption ability due to the chelating interaction between imino groups and Pb(II). The pH effect, kinetics, isotherms and adsorption mechanism of SNTs and SD-SNTs on Pb(II) adsorption were investigated and discussed detailedly. The adsorption capacity for Pb(II) removal was found to be significantly improved with the decrease of pH value. The Langmuir adsorption model agreed well with the experimental data. As for kinetic study, the adsorption onto SNTs and SD-SNTs could be fitted to pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order model, respectively. In addition, the as-prepared SNTs and SD-SNTs also exhibit high adsorption ability for Cd(II) and Co(II). The experimental results demonstrate that the SNTs and SD-SNTs are potential adsorbents and can be used effectively for the treatment of heavy-metal-ions-containing wastewater.

Abstract
Herein, we report a new strategy to remove toxic Cr(VI) ion from aqueous solution using metal-organic hybrid gel as sorbent. The gel could be easily synthesized from the commercially available organic ligand 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (2-MBIm) and copper(II) chloride in alcoholic medium. The synthesis involves one-electron reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I) by 2-MBIm, and then gel formation is triggered through Cu(I)-ligand coordination and extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the "-NH" protons (of 2-MBIm ligand), solvent molecules, and chloride ions. The gel shows entangled network morphology. Different microanalytical techniques (FTIR, powder XRD, FESEM, TEM, rheology etc.) have been employed for complete characterizations of the gel sample. Both Cu(I) (in situ formed) and Cl(-) ions trigger the gel formation as demonstrated from systematic chemical analyses. The gel also exhibits its stimuli-responsive behavior toward different interfering chemical parameters (pH, selective metal ions and anions, selective complexing agents, etc.). Finally the gel shows its redox-responsive nature owing to the distinguished presence of Cu(I) metal centers throughout its structural backbone. And this indeed helps in the effective removal of Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solution. Reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) ions and its subsequent sorption take place in the gel matrix. The reductive removal of Cr(VI) has been quantitatively interpreted through a set of different kinetic measurements/models, and the removal capacity of the gel matrix has been observed to be ∼331 mg g(-1) at pH ∼ 2.7, which is admirably higher than the commonly used adsorbents. However, the capacity decreases with the increase in pH of the solution. The overall removal mechanism has been clearly demonstrated. Again, the gel could also be recycled. Thus, the low-cost and large-scale fabrication of the redox-active metallogel makes it an efficient matrix for the toxic ion removal and hence indicates the high promise of this new generation hybrid material for environmental pollution abatement.
