Roa A, López J, Cortina JL. Selective separation of light and heavy rare earth elements from acidic mine waters by integration of chelating ion exchange and ligand impregnated resin. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 954:176700. [PMID: 39370004 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.176700] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2024] [Revised: 08/19/2024] [Accepted: 10/01/2024] [Indexed: 10/08/2024]
Abstract
This study addresses the potential of sourcing Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) using Acidic Mine Waters (AMWs) as a secondary resource. AMWs, often viewed as waste, contain valuable metals like zinc and copper, as well as critical metals like magnesium and cobalt. Moreover, recent studies also reported the presence of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) at concentrations (mg/L) that make their extraction both technically and economically viable. The research focuses on a circular process to recover these metals from AMWs, specifically from the Aznalcóllar open-pit mine, which contains 216 mg/L of Al, 47 mg/L of Fe, 547 mg/L of Zn, and 18.56 mg/L of REEs. The proposed method involves pre-treating the AMW to remove Fe and Al, achieving removals of over 99.9 % and 90 %, respectively, at pH 4.5. Following this, transition metals like Zn, Cd, and Cu were removed as sulphides with a removal efficiency exceeding 99 %. This pre-treatment step reduced the concentration of competing metals in the ion-exchange process, thereby enhancing the recovery and purity of REEs. To separate heavy and light REEs, two types of resins in series were used: an impregnated resin (TP272) and a chelating resin (S930), which can be regenerated using sulphuric acid (H2SO4). The final recovery of REEs as oxalates was achieved using oxalic acid and ammonia at pH 1, with further optimization of the elution process to minimize ammonia consumption and undesired precipitation of other oxalates. Finally, REE oxalates with purities exceeding 90 % were obtained. This research demonstrates a sustainable method for efficiently recovering valuable REEs from AMWs, while also addressing environmental concerns related to hazardous sludge generation.

Abstract
In this study, lignin derived from corncobs was chemically modified by substituting the hydroxyl groups present in its structure with methacrylate groups through a catalytic reaction using methacrylic anhydride, resulting in methacrylated lignin (ML). These MLs were incorporated in polymerization reaction of the monomer 2-[(acryloyloxy)ethyl trimethylammonium] chloride (Cl-AETA) and Cl-AETA, Cl-AETA/ML polymers were obtained, characterized (spectroscopic, thermal and microscopic analysis), and evaluated for removing Cr (VI) and As (V) from aqueous media in function of pH, contact time, initial metal concentrations and adsorbent amount. The Cl-AETA/ML polymers followed the Langmuir adsorption model for the evaluated metal anions and were able to remove up to 91 % of Cr (VI) with a qmax (maximum adsorption capacity) of 201 mg/g, while for As (V), up to 60 % could be removed with a qmax of 58 mg/g. The results demonstrate that simple modifications in lignin enhance its functionalization and properties, making it suitable for removing contaminants from aqueous media, showing promising results for potential future applications.

Graphene-based nanomaterials for the removal of emerging contaminants of concern from water and their potential adaptation for point-of-use applications. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 355:141728.

Abstract
Considering the plethora of work on the exceptional environmental performance of 2D nanomaterials, there is still a missing link in addressing their practical application in point-of-use (POU) water treatment. By reviewing the exceptional environmental performance of 2D nanomaterials with specific emphasis on graphene and its derivatives, this review aims at inspiring further discussions and research in graphene-based POU water treatment with particular focus on the removal of emerging contaminants of concern (ECCs), which is largely missing in the literature. We outlined the prevalence of ECCs in the environment, their health effects both on humans and marine life, and the potential of efficiently removing them from water using three-dimensional graphene-based macrostructures to ensure ease of adsorbent recovery and reuse compared to nanostructures. Given various successful studies showing superior adsorption capacity of graphene nanosheets, we give an account of the recent developments in graphene-based adsorbents. Moreover, several cost-effective materials which can be easily self-assembled with nanosheets to improve their environmental performance and safety for POU water treatment purposes were highlighted. We highlighted the strategy to overcome challenges of adsorbent regeneration and contaminant degradation; and concluded by noting the need for policy makers to act decisively considering the conservative nature of the water treatment industry, and the potential health risks from ingesting ECCs through drinking water. We further justified the need for the development of advanced POU water treatment devices in the face of the growing challenges regarding ECCs in surface water, and the rising cases of drinking water advisories across the world.

Rockafellow-Baldoni M, Spayd SE, Robson MG. Microparticles of arsenic water treatment media and water softener resin observed in treated water at private wells. WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2024; 96:e11067.

Abstract
Observation of arsenic water treatment adsorption media in the treated water of several homes with high arsenic private wells led to the hypothesis that treatment media was escaping the treatment systems and entering the plumbing and drinking water. Our research at 62 homes identified that microparticles of arsenic water treatment media and/or water softener resin had escaped the treatment system in 71% of the homes. This is a potential health hazard as ingesting arsenic treatment media or water softener resin may lead to an elevated ingestion exposure to arsenic and other contaminants. Potential causes of media escape from the treatment systems include media observed to be smaller in size than specifications and media breaking into smaller pieces. One interim solution to media escape is installation of a post-treatment sediment filter. New developments in media durability or treatment system design and maintenance may be needed to prevent media escaping into drinking water. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Arsenic in private wells is often treated with point-of-entry whole house adsorption systems. Arsenic adsorption treatment media and/or water softener resin was observed in treated water at 44 of 62 homes inspected. Water treatment media escaping into treated water is a potential hazardous exposure pathway. Potential causes and solutions are discussed.

Abstract
Developing materials that can more efficiently and cheaply capture carbon dioxide from ambient atmospheric conditions is essential for improving negative emission technologies. This study builds on the promising moisture-swing modality for direct air capture of carbon dioxide by investigating the use of several new anions─orthosilicate, borate, pyrophosphate, tripolyphosphate, and dibasic phosphate─that when introduced into ion-exchange resins allow for the cyclable capture of CO2 under dry conditions and its release under wet conditions. These ions, as well as many others that failed to show moisture-swing performance, are tested and directly compared thermodynamically and kinetically to understand their differences. This includes the use of analytical approaches new to the carbon capture field, such as the correlation of adsorption isotherms to moisture-swing performance, the use of phase lag kinetics, the examination of the humidity-carbon capture hysteresis of the sorbents, and the precise quantification of ion loading using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy. Phosphate dibasic was found to have the largest mass-normalized CO2 moisture-swing capacity, whereas phosphate tribasic had the best performance when factoring in kinetics, and pyrophosphate had the highest swing capacity when normalizing on a per-ion or per-unit-charge basis. This work not only sheds light on ways to improve DAC but also provides insights pertinent to the advancement of gas separation, negative emission technologies, and sorbent materials.

Abstract
Mechanism of hexavalent chromium removal (Cr(VI) as CrO42-) by the weak-base ion exchange (IX) resin ResinTech® SIR-700-HP (SIR-700) from simulated groundwater is assessed in the presence of radioactive contaminants iodine-129 (as IO3-), uranium (U as uranyl UO22+), and technetium-99 (as TcO4-), and common environmental anions sulfate (SO42-) and chloride (Cl-). Batch tests using the acid sulfate form of SIR-700 demonstrated Cr(VI) and U(VI) removal exceeded 97%, except in the presence of high SO42- concentrations (536 mg/L) where Cr(VI) and U(VI) removal decreased to ≥ 80%. However, Cr(VI) removal notably improved with co-mingled U(VI) that complexes with SO42- at the protonated amine sites. These U-SO42- complexes are integral to U(VI) removal, as confirmed by the decrease in U(VI) removal (<40%) when the acid chloride form of SIR-700 was used instead. Solid phase characterization revealed that CrO42- is removed by IX with SO42- complexes and/or reduced to amorphous Cr(III)(OH)3 at secondary alcohol sites. Tc(VII)O4- and I(V)O3- also undergo chemical reduction, following a similar removal mechanism. Oxyanion removal preference is determined by the anion reduction potential (CrO42->TcO4->IO3-), geometry, and charge density. For these reasons, 39% and 69% of TcO4- and 17% and 39% of IO3- are removed in the presence and absence of Cr(VI), respectively.

Abstract
Adsorption and ion exchange technologies are two of the most widely used approaches to separate pollutants from water; however, their intrinsic diffusion limitations continue to be a challenge. Pore functionalized membranes are a promising technology that can help overcome these challenges, but the extents of their competitive benefits and broad applicability have not been systematically evaluated. Herein, three types of adsorptive/ion exchange (IX) polymers containing strong/weak acid, strong base, and iron-chitosan complex groups were synthesized in the pores and partially on the surface of microfiltration (MF) membranes and tested for the removal of organic and inorganic cations and anions from water, including arsenic, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and calcium (hardness). When directly compared with beads (0.5-6 mm) and crushed resins (0.05 mm), adsorptive/IX pore-functionalized membranes demonstrated an increased relative sorption capacity, up to 2 orders of magnitude faster kinetics and the ability to regenerate up to 70-100% of their capacity while concentrating the initial solution concentration up to 12 times. The simple and versatile synthesis approach used to functionalize membranes, notably independent of the polymer type of the MF membrane, utilized pores throughout the entire cross section of the membrane to immobilize the polymers that contain the functional groups. Utilizing the pore volume of commercial membranes (6-112 mL/m2), the scientific weight capacity of the polymer (3.1-11.5 mequiv/g), and the synthesis conditions (e.g., monomer concentration), the theoretical adsorption/IX capacities per area of the membranes were calculated to be as high as 550 mequiv/m2, substantially higher than the 175 mequiv/m2 value needed to compete with commercially available IX resins. This work therefore shows that pore functionalized membranes are a promising path to tackle water contamination challenges, lowering separation diffusion limitations.

Abstract
As copper and its compounds are of fundamental importance for the development of innovative materials, the synthesis of composites intended for water purification was undertaken in which submicron copper containing particles were dispersed within the matrix of a strongly basic anion exchanger, with a macroporous and gel-like structure. Due to their trimethylammonium functional groups, the host materials alone exhibited an affinity to anionic water contaminants and antimicrobial properties. The introduction of such particles as CuO, Cu2O, metallic Cu, CuO/FeO(OH), Cu4O3, Cu(OH)2, Cu4(OH)6SO4, Cu2(OH)3Cl increased these properties and demonstrated new properties. The composites were obtained unconventionally, in ambient conditions, using eco-friendly reagents. Alternative synthesis methods were compared and optimized, as a result of which a new group of hybrid ion exchangers was created (HIXs) containing 3.5-12.5 wt% of Cu. As the arrangement of the inorganic phase in the resin matrix was atypical, i.e., close to the surface of the beads, the obtained HIXs exhibited excellent kinetic properties in the process of oxidation and adsorption of As(III), as well as catalytic properties for the synthesis of triazoles via click reaction, and also antimicrobial properties in relation to Gram-positive Enterococcus faecalis and Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli, preventing biofilm formation. Using thermogravimetry, the effect of the inorganic phase on decomposition of the polymeric phase was evaluated for the first time and comprehensively, confirming the relationship and finding numerous regularities. It was also found that, depending on the oxidation state (CuO, Cu2O, Cu), copper-containing particles affected the textural properties of the polymeric phase endowing a tighter structure, limiting the porosity and reducing the affinity for water.

Abstract
Cellulose sulfates are important biologically active substances with a wide range of useful properties. The development of new methods for the production of cellulose sulfates is an urgent task. In this work, we investigated ion-exchange resins as catalysts for the sulfation of cellulose with sulfamic acid. It has been shown that water-insoluble sulfated reaction products are formed in high yield in the presence of anion exchangers, while water-soluble products are formed in the presence of cation exchangers. The most effective catalyst is Amberlite IR 120. According to gel permeation chromatography, it was shown that the samples sulfated in the presence of the catalysts KU-2-8, Purolit s390 plus, and AN-31 SO42- underwent the greatest degradation. The molecular weight destribution profiles of these samples are noticeably shifted to the left towards low-molecular-weight compounds with an increase in fractions in the regions Mw ~2.100 g/mol and ~3.500 g/mol, indicating the growth of microcrystalline cellulose depolymerization products. The introduction of a sulfate group into the cellulose molecule is confirmed using FTIR spectroscopy by the appearance of absorption bands at 1245-1252 cm-1 and 800-809 cm-1, which correspond to the vibrations of the sulfate group. According to X-ray diffraction data, amorphization of the crystalline structure of cellulose is observed during sulfation. Thermal analysis has shown that with an increase in the content of sulfate groups in cellulose derivatives, thermal stability decreases.

Abstract
The rapid growth of population and industrialization have intensified the problem of water pollution globally. To meet the challenge of industrialization, the use of synthetic dyes in the textile industry, dyeing and printing industry, tannery and paint industry, paper and pulp industry, cosmetic and food industry, dye manufacturing industry, and pharmaceutical industry has increased exponentially. Among these industries, the textile industry is prominent for the water pollution due to the hefty consumption of water and discharge of coloring materials in the effluent. The discharge of this effluent into the aquatic reservoir affects its biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), and pH. The release of the effluents without any remedial treatment will generate a gigantic peril to the aquatic ecosystem and human health. The ecological-friendly treatment of the dye-containing wastewater to minimize the detrimental effect on human health and the environment is the need of the hour. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the catastrophic effects of textile dyes on human health and the environment. This review provides a comprehensive insight into the dyes and chemicals used in the textile industry, focusing on the typical treatment processes for their removal from industrial wastewaters, including chemical, biological, physical, and hybrid techniques.

Abstract
Here we report some results on a 3 steps benzene caprolactam process via amination, aniline Hydroxymation and Beckmann rearrangement. The amination proceeds with hydroxylamine trifluoroacetate, with 97% of conversion and selectivity of 90%, catalyzed by V compounds. We achieve 98% of conversion and 95% of selectivity in the hydroxymation of aniline in the presence of hydroxylamine trifluoroacetate, sulfonic resin and Pd/C. While in the absence of the resin, hydrogenation of hydroxylamine trifluoroacetate occurs readily to the ammonium salt. The reaction occurs likely by the exchanged hydroxylamine and the aniline reduction intermediate. The use of hydroxylamine trifluoroacetate, instead of the chloride, favors the sustainability of the process by avoiding the ammonium chloride formation. The absence of salt except those derived from the trifluoroacetic acid allows a complete reuse of the trifluoroacetic acid and the only byproduct is ammonium nitrate obtained by resin regeneration. Beckmann rearrangement of the so produced cyclohexanone oxime occurs easily after diethyl ether evaporation and additions of a solution trifluoroacetic acid acetonitrile in high yield and selectivity.

Abstract
After the treatment of liquid radioactive waste, there is a certain amount of Cs in the waste resin, and these Cs-doped resins are prone to volatilize during the thermal treatment process and cause radionuclide leakage. The molten salt oxidation (MSO) can effectively prevent the volatilization of toxic metal, especially the volatilization of Cs. Under nitrogen and air conditions, it is found that the oxidation behavior between Cs-doped and clean cation exchange resins (CERs) is quite different. In the presence of oxygen and molten carbonate salt, Cs2CO3 is generated by the destruction of functional groups in Cs-doped CERs. The Cs2CO3 in Na2CO3-K2CO3-Li2CO3 reacts with oxygen to form Li2O2, which reduces the content of S in residue from 26.33 to 13.38% in air conditions at 400 °C and promotes the generation of sulfate in the molten carbonate salt. The elements Cs and S in the Cs doped CERs spontaneously form thermally stable Cs2SO4 in the molten carbonate salt.

Abstract
The application of anaerobic digestion (AD) to treat waste activated sludge (WAS) still exhibits some limitations, such as low methane production. In this study, cation exchange resin (CER) pretreatment was explored to enhance the efficiency of the AD of WAS. Based on the response surface methodology, the optimal conditions for CER pretreatment were reaction time of 7.4 h, 33.8 g CER (wet weight) /g volatile solids and sludge total solids of 2.4%. Under these optimal CER pretreatment conditions, approximately 30% of metals were removed from the WAS, particularly organic-binding metals. This metal removal disrupted the structures of extracellular polymer substances and led to sludge deflocculation, thereby releasing large amounts of organic substances from the sludge solids. Batch AD experiments showed that CER pretreatment increased the maximal production of volatile fatty acids and methane by 565.7% and 80.5%, respectively. Additionally, CER pretreatment promoted each stage of AD (i.e. solubilisation, hydrolysis, acidification and methanation) and the corresponding activities of key enzymes. Experimental results for semi-continuous AD further confirmed that CER pretreatment enhanced the proportion of methane in the biogas (from 62.75 ± 2.14% to 73.96 ± 0.99%) and the production of methane. An analysis of changes in the microbial communities demonstrated that CER pretreatment enhanced the abundance of microorganisms involved in hydrolysis, acidification and acetification and changed the major methanogenic pathway from acetoclastic methanogens to methylotrophic methanogens. These findings are expected to provide a reference for developing new pretreatment methods for enhancing anaerobic biodegradability of organic matters.

Abstract
Background:
The presence of heavy metal contaminants such as chromium, lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic,
nickel, and copper have become a major issue towards human health. Chromium is extremely toxic to living organisms as
it acts as carcinogen and mutagen. High concentration of chromium may cause detrimental effects to human health in the
long term. The mutagenic and carcinogenic properties, included Cr(VI) in the group “A” of human carcinogens. Cr(VI)
can easily penetrate into the cell wall and exert its noxious effect due to its mobility in the environment. Cr(VI) is nearly
100 times more toxic than Cr(III). Cr(VI) causes skin and stomach irritation or ulceration, damage to liver, kidney
ulceration, damage to nerve tissue, and long-term exposure above the maximum contaminated level even led to death.
Therefore, it is essential to remove chromium from wastewater prior to its final discharge into the environment. This study
attempts to explore the mechanism by which chromium ions had been adsorbed by these two ion exchange resins and will
be extended further to investigate the uptake mechanism of other metal ions within future research.
Methods:
Equilibrium isotherms were obtained by contacting 20 mL of aqueous metal ion solution with different amounts
of adsorbents in a shaker bath controlled at 25±0.5oC. The initial concentration of metal ion in the aqueous solution was
varied between 40-100 mg L
-1
. Equilibrium isotherms for the above metal ion were generated at pH 3, 4 and 5. The pH of
the solution was varied between pH 3 to 5 using appropriate doses of buffer. Preliminary runs exhibited that the
adsorption equilibrium was achieved after 1–1.30 h of contact time for both the tested resins. The adsorbents used were
DOWEX and AMB resins. For estimation of adsorption enthalpy, adsorption equilibrium experiments were performed at
temperatures 30, 40 and 55oC. The amount of metal ion adsorbed per unit mass of the adsorbent (mg g-1) was calculated
as q= V∆C/W, where ∆C is the change in solute concentration (mg L
-1
), V is the solution volume (L) and W is the weight
of the adsorbent (g). Experiments on adsorption kinetics were performed in a stirred constant volume vessel. The liquid
volume was 100 cm3 with 10g of adsorbent sample. The initial concentration of metal ion was 80 mg L
-1
at 25±0.5oC. The
aqueous phase concentration was examined at equal time intervals till equilibration.
Results:
The electrostatic interaction of Cr(VI) with the positively charged nitrogen atom of the functional groups and
chelation of Cr(III) with the electron donor groups were the possible mechanistic pathways through which the adsorption
had occurred onto both the ion-exchange resins. Though electrostatic interaction was the predominant interaction in both
the resins for the adsorption of anionic Cr(VI) species, but it had been observed that the mechanism of Cr(VI) adsorption
was not only “anionic adsorption” but also the complexation of the reduced Cr(III) with the ammonium group of the
resins. Thus, “adsorption- coupled reduction” was the main mechanism for the uptake of chromium ions.
Conclusion:
The present work demonstrated that both resins could effectively adsorb Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solution.
More adsorption had taken place onto DOWEX compared to AMB. The adsorption characteristics of both the resins were
studied under various equilibrium and thermodynamic conditions which proposed the spontaneous nature of the process.
The adsorption capacities of both resins were influenced by the pH of the medium and exhibited high adsorption
performances at pH 3. The mechanism of adsorption onto the two resins studied here was anionic adsorption of Cr (VI)
and chelation of Cr (III) ion. The Cr(III) ions might have formed because of the reduction of Cr(VI) by the electron donor
atoms present in the resins and interacted with the adsorbent surface. FTIR spectra also supported the interaction of
chromium ions with functional groups present in the resin structures. Thus chromium uptake by DOWEX and AMB resins
was mainly governed by “adsorption- coupled reduction”. Desorption studies revealed that regeneration of both the ionexchange resins are possible at basic pH and can be reused. However, the application of these two ion-exchange resins
using real effluent is under consideration.

Abstract
This paper is devoted to study of sorption properties (sorption degree, polymer chain binding degree) of intergel system hydrogel of polyacrylic acid (hPAA) – hydrogel of poly-4-vinylpyridine (hP4VP) in relation to neodymium and praseodymium ions. It was found that remote interaction of the polymers in intergel pairs provides significant changes of the electrochemical and volume gravimetric properties. Strong increase of the swelling degree of hPAA is observed at the ratio 17%hPAA-83%hP4VP; significant increase of swelling degree of hP4VP is observed at the ratio 83%hPAA-17%hP4VP. Individual hydrogels of PAA and P4VP do not have sufficiently high sorption properties – sorption degree of neodymium and praseodymium ions is not higher than 65 %, polymer chain binding degree is not higher than 55 %. High ionization of hPAA and hP4VP due to remote interaction effect provides significant increase (up to 30 %) of the sorption properties. Maximum sorption of neodymium and praseodymium ions occurs at the ratios 83%hPAA-17%hP4VP and 50%hPAA-50%hP4VP (sorption degree is 93.5 % and 93.6 %, respectively). The highest values of polymer chain binding degree (in relation to neodymium and praseodymium ions) are observed at the ratios 83%hPAA-17%hP4VP and 50%hPAA-50%hP4VP – binding degree is 73.2 % and 75.4 %, respectively. Remote interaction provides possibilities for creation of innovative sorption technologies for selective sorption of aimed rare-earth elements.

t-Butyl hydroperoxide-initiated cycloterpolymerization of diallylaminoaspartic acid hydrochloride [(CH2[double bond, length as m-dash]CHCH2)2NH+CH(CO2H)CH2CO2H Cl-] (I), maleic acid (HO2CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CHCO2H) (II) and cross-linker tetraallylhexane-1,6-diamine dihydrochloride [(CH2[double bond, length as m-dash]CHCH2)2NH+(CH2)6NH+ (CH2CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2)2 2Cl-] (III) afforded a new pH-responsive resin (IV), loaded with four CO2H and a chelating motif of NH+⋯CO2 - in each repeating unit. The removal of cationic methylene blue (MB) (3000 ppm) at pH 7.25 and Pb(ii) (200 ppm) at pH 6 by IV at 298, 313, and 328 K followed second-order kinetics with E a of 33.4 and 40.7 kJ mol-1, respectively. Both MB and Pb(ii) were removed fast, accounting for 97.7% removal of MB within 15 min at 313 K and 94% of Pb(ii) removal within 1 min. The super-adsorbent resin gave respective q max values of 2609 mg g-1 and 873 mg g-1 for MB and Pb(ii). IV was also found to trap anionic dyes; it removed 91% Eriochrome Black T (EBT) from its 50 ppm solutions at pH 2. The resin was found to be effective in reducing priority metal contaminants (like Cr, Hg, Pb) in industrial wastewater to sub-ppb levels. The synthesis of the recyclable resin can be easily scaled up from inexpensive starting materials. The resin has been found to be better than many recently reported sorbents.

Abstract
Highly selective separation materials that recover total ammonia nitrogen (i.e., ammonia plus ammonium, or TAN) from wastewaters as a pure product can supplement energy-intensive ammonia production and incentivize pollution mitigation. We recently demonstrated that commercial acrylate cation exchange polymer resins loaded with transition metal cations, or metal-loaded ligand exchangers, can recover TAN from wastewater with high selectivity (TAN/K+ equilibrium selectivity of 10.1) via metal-ammine bond formation. However, the TAN adsorption efficiency required further improvement (35%), and the optimal concentration and pH ranges were limited by both low ammonia fractions and an insufficiently strong resin carboxylate-metal bond that caused metal elution. To overcome these deficiencies, we used a zinc-acrylate ligand exchange resin and a tertiary amine acrylic weak base resin (pH buffer resin) together to achieve resin-mediated pH control for optimal adsorption conditions. The high buffer capacity around pH 9 facilitated gains in the adsorbed TAN per ligand resin mass that enhanced the TAN adsorption efficiency to greater than 90%, and constrained zinc elution (below 0.01% up to 1 M TAN) because of decreased ammonia competition for zinc-carboxylate bonds. During TAN recovery, resin-mediated pH buffering facilitated recovery of greater than 99% of adsorbed TAN with 0.2% zinc elution, holding the pH low enough to favor ammonium but high enough to prevent carboxylate protonation. For selective ion separation, solid phase buffers outperform aqueous buffers because the initial solution pH, the buffering capacity, and the ion purity can be independently controlled. Finally, because preserving the resin-zinc bond is crucial to sustained ligand exchange performance, the properties of an ideal ligand resin functional group were investigated to improve the properties beyond those of carboxylate. Ultimately, ligand exchange adsorbents combined with solid pH buffers can advance the selective recovery of nitrogen and potentially other solutes from wastewaters.

Abstract
In this study, a novel pretreatment of cation exchange resin (CER) coupled NaCl addition was proposed to enhance waste activated sludge (WAS) hydrolysis and promote short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production in the anaerobic fermentation process. At the optimal pretreatment condition of 3 g/g SS CER and 15 g/L NaCl, considerable SCOD (i.e. 5107 mg/L, 35.4% of TCOD) was released after 2-day coupled treatment, which provided sufficient organic substance for the subsequent SCFAs production. The sludge hydrolysis mechanism was illustrated, i.e. CER triggered extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) disruption and NaCl induced microbial cells lysis. The synergistic interaction between CER and NaCl pretreatment was investigated and application potential of fermentative liquid was evaluated after the coupled pretreatment-enhanced anaerobic fermentation. In the presence of abundant biodegradable substrates in the fermentative liquid, 4742 mg COD/L (i.e. 388 mg COD/g VSS) of SCFAs production was achieved within 6-day anaerobic fermentation, mainly composed of acetic and propionic acids (70.4% of total SCFAs).

Abstract
The cyclocopolymerization of N,N-diallylglycine hydrochloride, maleic acid and 1,1,4,4-tetraallylpiperazinium dichloride afforded a cross-linked polyzwitterionic acid, which, upon treatment with NaOH, gave the corresponding cross-linked anionic polyelectrolyte (CAPE) in quantitative yield. The pH-responsive resins contained a high density of CO2 - motifs as well as the chelating motifs of glycine residues. The resin CAPE was found to be a super-adsorbent for the removal of pararosaniline hydrochloride (PRH); having a q max of 1534 mg/g. The adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and was found to be a nearly irreversible process as suggested by the parameters obtained from Elovich kinetic model. The resin demonstrated excellent adsorption/desorption efficiencies, thereby ensuring its recycling and reuse in potent applications like remediation of industrial dye-waste water. The resin's chelating motifs were also efficient in the adsorptive removal of Cd(II) ions with a q max of 248 mg/g. It was also employed for the simultaneous and effective trapping of Cd(II) and the dye from industrial wastewater. The resin's impressive performance accords it a prestigious place among many sorbents in recent works.

Abstract
Ion exchange technique as the reversible exchange of ions between the substrate and the surrounding medium can be an effective way of removing traces of ion impurities from the waters and wastewaters and obtaining a product of ultrapure quality. Therefore, it can be used in analytical chemistry, hydrometallurgy, purification and separation of metal ions, radioisotopes and organic compounds, and it also finds great application in water treatment and pollution control. In the presented paper, the new trends for ion exchanger characteristics determination and application are presented. Special attention is paid to the ion exchangers with multifunctionality for heavy metal ions removal. They show superior actions such as sorption capacity values with excellent resistance to fouling and the possibility of application in the co-current or modern packed bed counter-current systems, as well as for the condensate polishing or the conventional mixed bed systems in combination with other resins. The results of the paper are expected to help researchers to establish a powerful strategy to find a suitable ion exchanger for heavy metal ions removal from waters and wastewaters. It is important because the best ion exchangers are selected for a specific application during laboratory tests taking into account the composition of the feed solution, pH, type of ion exchangers and then the column breakthrough tests. Therefore, the optical profilometry and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy can prove beneficial for this purpose in the case of three different ion exchangers such as Dowex M 4195, Amberlite IRA 743 and Purolite Arsen Xnp.

Influence of the Nanotube Morphology and Intercalated Species on the Sorption Properties of Hybrid Layered Vanadium Oxides: Application for Cesium Removal from Aqueous Streams. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11092349.

Abstract
The present paper examines the impact that the nanotube morphology and organic or inorganic intercalated species may have on the cesium sorption by layered vanadium oxides prepared with the use of hexadecylamine as a structure-directing agent. The hybrid material represented by a chemical formula of (V2O5)(VO2)1.03(C16H36N)1.46(H2O)x was achieved through accelerated microwave-assisted synthesis carefully optimized to ensure the best compromise between the scroll-like morphology and the hydrophobic character. To enhance its dispersibility in water, this sample was subsequently modified by progressive replacement of the C16H36N+ units by NH4+ cations. The final materials represented a stacking of lamellar sheets with a worse scroll-like morphology. Both the optimization procedure and the template removal were monitored on the basis of scanning and transmission electronic microscopy, X-ray diffraction, infra-red spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and elemental analysis, supplemented by adequate simulations methods providing the reference IR spectra and XRD patterns for comparison or the textural parameters of the samples. The comparison of the cesium sorption from either a 4:1 ethanol–water mixture or aqueous solutions pointed toward the solubility of intercalated cations in the bulk solution as the main factor limiting their displacement from the interlayer space by the oncoming cesium ones. The sample obtained after 70% exchange with NH4+ exhibited a maximum sorption capacity of 1.4 mmol g−1 from CsNO3 aqueous solutions and its retention efficiency remained significant from low-concentration Cs solutions in river or sea water.

Abstract
Abstract
The characterization of oxidative degraded polystyrene-based resin (R1) and polyacrylic based resin (R2) resins in H2O2 and HClO4 degradation medium were made based on the kinetics and thermodynamic data obtained for the ion-isotopic exchange reactions using such resins. For the reactions performed by using resins degraded in H2O2 medium, the reaction rate (k) values obtained for the fresh R1 (0.315 min–1) and R2 (0.187 min–1) resins decreases to 0.300 and 0.155 min–1 respectively for the resins degraded in 20% H2O2 medium, which further decreases to 0.289 and 0.142 min–1 respectively for the resins degraded in 30% H2O2 medium. A similar trend in the results were observed for the reactions performed by using the above resins degraded in HClO4 medium. The higher values of k (min–1) and low values of various thermodynamic parameters for the ion-isotopic exchange reactions performed by using fresh and degraded polystyrene-based resin R1 resins suggests superior degradation stability as compared to polyacrylic based R2 resin.

Abstract
Structural changes of cytochrome c and its relationship with apoptosis and protein degradation of bovine muscle during postmortem aging were investigated. Results from amide I and amide II ~ VI showed that the π* orbital d electron decreased, the π electron density increased, and the frequency of the C-N stretching vibration increased. The distance between heme Fe and N atoms of the porphyrin decreased, the bond length decreased, and the heme core size decreased. Besides, Fe ligand vibration related Raman bands of cytochrome c had red (right) shift gradually with the extension of aging. The apoptotic rate and the degradation products of desmin and troponin-T were increased (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis results suggested that Fe ligand vibration, not amide I ~ VI related Raman bands were correlated with cytochrome c mediated apoptosis and degradation of myofibrillar protein of bovine muscle during aging.

Abstract
Hydrogels have been studied quite intensively in recent decades regarding whether their metal adsorption abilities may be modified or even enhanced via functionalization (i.e., functionalizing the surfaces of hydrogels with specific functional groups). Studies have found that functionalizing hydrogels can in fact give them higher adsorptive power. This enhanced adsorptive performance is articulated in this paper through critically reviewing more than 120 research articles in such terms as the various techniques of synthesizing functionalized hydrogels, the roles that specific functional groups play on adsorption performance, selectivity, reusability, as well as on adsorption mechanism. Moreover, this critical review offers insight into future designs of functionalized hydrogels with specific metal adsorption capabilities.

Abstract
The utilization of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) as feedstock for chemical industries is gaining interest as a sustainable alternative to nonrenewable fossil resources. However, CO2 reduction is necessary to increase its energy content. Hydrosilane is a potential reducing agent that exhibits excellent reactivity under ambient conditions. CO2 hydrosilylation yields versatile products such as silylformate and methoxysilane, whereas formamides and N-methylated products are obtained in the presence of amines. In these transformations, organocatalysts are considered as the more sustainable choice of catalyst. In particular, heterogeneous organocatalysts featuring precisely designed active sites offer higher efficiency due to their recyclability. Herein, an overview is presented of the current development of basic organocatalysts immobilized on various supports for application in the chemical reduction of CO2 with hydrosilanes, and the potential active species parameters that might affect the catalytic activity are identified.

Abstract
The preparation methods of hydrophobic materials such as zeolites, modified silicas and polymers has been reviewed. Particular attention has been paid to the characterization methods classified according to the surface and bulk composition, on one hand, and to the measure of interactions with water or organic solvents, on the other. Some selected applications are analyzed in order to understand the relevance of the reactants/products adsorption to address activity and selectivity of the reaction. Thus, absorption of a non-polar reactant or desorption of a hydrophilic product are much easier on a hydrophobic surface and can effectively boost the catalytic activity.

Abstract
Maleic acid underwent alternate copolymerization with diallylaminomethylphosphonic acid·HCl [(CH2=CHCH2)2NH+CH2PO3H2 Cl-] and a cross-linker to give a new pH-responsive resin. Methylene blue (MB) removal from its 3000 ppm solution by the resin at pH 7 followed second-order kinetics with an E a of 34.8 kJ mol-1. MB removal was achieved very fast (10 min), attaining over 98.5% at 328 K. The q e obtained using MB concentrations in the range 100-8000 ppm fitted the Langmuir nonlinear isotherm model to give ΔG o, ΔH o, and ΔS o values of ≈ -21 kJ, 36.5 kJ mol-1, and 185 J mol-1 K-1, respectively. The resin is a superadsorbent with a q max value of 2445 mg g-1. The adsorbent also removed 97% Pb(II) within 5 min from its 10 000 ppb solution. The resin reduced the Pb(II) concentration from 200 to 3.8 ppb. The resin also demonstrated its ability to remove contaminants from industrial wastewater, reducing priority metal contaminants to ppb and sub-ppb levels. The resin can be recycled with stable efficiency. The outstanding performance places the resin in a top position in a list of recently reported sorbents.

Abstract
High-performance water-soluble polymers have a wide range of applications from engineering materials to biomedical plastics. However, existing materials are either natural polymers that lack high thermostability or rigid synthetic polymers. Therefore, we design an amino acid-derived building block, 4,4'-diamino-α-truxillate dianion (4ATA2-), that induces water solubility in high-performance polymers. Polyimides containing 4ATA2- units are intrinsically water-soluble and are processed into films cast from an aqueous solution. The resulting polyimide films exhibit exceptional transparency and extremely high thermal stability. In addition, the films can be made insoluble in water by simple post-treatment using weak acid or multivalent metal ions such as calcium. The synthesized polyimide's derived from bio-based resources are useful for yielding waterborne polymeric high-performance applications.

Abstract
AbstractHeavy metal ions are among the most dangerous contaminants, which can cause serious health problems. In this work, ion-exchange resin beads were used as supports for magnetite (Fe3O4) synthesis to produce heavy metal adsorbents which can be easily separated by magnetic field. The first step of the magnetite preparation was the replacement of hydrogen ions with Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions on the sulfonic acid groups of the resin. In the second step, magnetite particle formation was induced by coprecipitating the iron ions with sodium hydroxide. The regeneration of the ion-exchange resin was also carried out by using sodium hydroxide. SEM images verified that relatively large magnetite crystal particles (diameter = 100–150 nm) were created. The ion-exchange effect of the prepared magnetic adsorbent was also confirmed by applying Cu2+, Ni2+, Pb2+ and Cd2+ ions in adsorption experiments.

Abstract
Extracting valuable products from wastewaters with nitrogen-selective adsorbents can offset energy-intensive ammonia production, rebalance the nitrogen cycle, and incentivize environmental remediation. Separating nitrogen (N) as ammonium from other wastewater cations (e.g., K+ , Ca2+ ) presents a major challenge to N removal from wastewater and N recovery as high-purity products. High selectivity and capacity were achieved through ligand exchange of ammonia with ammine-complexing transition metals loaded onto polymeric cation exchange resins. Compared to commercial resins, metal-ligand exchange adsorbents exhibited higher ammonia removal capacity (8 mequiv g-1 ) and selectivity (N/K+ equilibrium selectivity of 10.1) in binary equimolar solutions. Considering optimal ammonia concentrations (200-300 mequiv L-1 ) and pH (9-10) for metal-ligand exchange, hydrolyzed urine was identified as a promising candidate for selective TAN recovery. However, divalent cation exchange increased transition metal elution and reduced ammonia adsorption. Ultimately, metal-ligand exchange adsorbents can advance nitrogen-selective separations from wastewaters.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysis represents one of the important areas in the field of organic synthesis.
Major developments have been emerged during last few decades and polymer-supported catalysts
have been employed successfully in various catalytic organic transformations. Ion-exchange resins
and polypeptides are two important examples of such heterogeneous polymer-supported catalysts
among others because of their easy accessibility, stability, recoverability and reusability. Cross-linked
ion-exchange resins and polypeptides are highly insoluble, which make them better choice in terms of
their easy separation from the reaction mixture and subsequent recyclability. The present review article
provides an overview of different types of ion exchange resins as polymer-supported catalysts such
as amberlite resin, polystyrene resin, polyionic gel-based systems, ion-exchange resins and prolineimmobilized
species, PEG-bound poly (amino acid), amino acid anchored with Merrifild resin, amphiphilic
block polypeptides etc. Their preparation, characterizations and catalytic applications in diverse
organic transformations have been presented with critical analysis on their stability, mechanistic
overview and suitability etc.

Abstract
The rapidly increasing demand for technologies aiming to resolve challenges of separations and environmental protection causes a sharp increase in the demand for ion exchange (IX) and chelating polymers. These unique materials can offer target-selective adsorption properties vital for the removal or recovery of harmful and precious materials, where trace concentrations thereof make other techniques insufficient. Hence, recent achievements in syntheses of IX and chelating resins designed and developed in our research group are discussed within this mini-review. The aim of the present work is to reveal that, due to the diversified and unique physiochemical characteristics of the proposed materials, they are not limited to traditional separation techniques and could be used in multifunctional areas of applications, including catalysis, heat management, and biomedicine.

Cation exchange resin-induced hydrolysis for improving biodegradability of waste activated sludge: Characterization of dissolved organic matters and microbial community. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2020; 302:122870. [PMID: 32004809 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2020.122870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2019] [Revised: 01/17/2020] [Accepted: 01/20/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
This study reported an efficient and green approach towards facilitating hydrolysis of waste activated sludge (WAS) using cation exchange resin (CER) as a recyclable additive. Through CER-mediated removal of multivalent cations, WAS flocs were disintegrated into small particles with extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) solubilization. At CER dosage of 1.75 g/g SS, SCOD increased to 2579 mg/L (SCOD/TCOD = 15.9%) after 8-h hydrolysis. Afterwards, CER displayed further sludge hydrolysis performance lasting 2 days, i.e. SCOD/TCOD = 34.2%. Meanwhile, proteins, carbohydrates and other organics in dissolved organic matters (DOMs) were major contributors for volatile fatty acids (VFAs) accumulation, with composition percentage: VFAs (58.9%) > proteins (21.8%) > other organics (8.8%) > humic acids (5.9%) > carbohydrates (4.4%). The biodegradable tryptophan-like and tyrosine-like proteins were major proteins, while other organics included amino acids, aliphatic and metabolic intermediates. More than 85.2% of DOMs were easily biodegradable. Moreover, CER-induced hydrolysis modified microbial community structure through inhibiting VFAs-utilizing microbes, while hydrolytic-acidogenic bacteria were enriched, responsible for DOMs biodegradation.

Abstract
The role of natural gas in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and advancing renewable energy resource integration is undoubtedly critical. With the progress of hydrocarbons exploration and production, the target zones become deeper and the possibility of mercury contamination increases. This impacts on the industry from health and safety risks, due to corrosion and contamination of equipment, to catalyst poisoning and toxicity through emissions to the environment. Especially mercury embrittlement, being a significant problem in LNG plants using aluminum cryogenic heat exchangers, has led to catastrophic plant incidents worldwide. The aim of this review is to critically discuss the conventional and alternative materials as well as the processes employed for mercury removal during gas processing. Moreover, comments on studies examining the geological occurrence of mercury species are included, the latest developments regarding the detection, sampling and measurement are presented and updated information with respect to mercury speciation and solubility is displayed. Clean up and passivation techniques as well as disposal methods for mercury-containing waste are also explained. Most importantly, the environmental as well as the health and safety implications are addressed, and areas that require further research are pinpointed.

Abstract
Recently, Pickering high internal phase emulsions (Pickering HIPEs) have been widely used to fabricate macroporous materials. However, the high usage of poisonous organic solvent in HIPEs not only greatly increases the cost but also is harmful to human health and environment, which leads to limited large-scale applications. In this study, we prepared a novel monolithic macroporous material of carboxymethyl cellulose-g-poly(acrylamide)/montmorillonite (CMC-g-PAM/MMT) by the free radical polymerization via oil-in-water Pickering medium internal phase emulsions (Pickering MIPEs), which used the non-toxic and eco-friendly flaxseed oil as continuous phase, MMT, and Tween-20 (T-20) as stabilizer. The pore structure of the resulting macroporous materials could be tuned easily by adjusting the content of MMT, co-surfactant T-20, and the oil phase volume fraction. The maximal adsorption capacities of the prepared macroporous material for Pb2+ and Cd2+ were 456.05 and 278.11 mg/g, respectively, and the adsorption equilibrium can be reached within 30 min. Otherwise, the macroporous monolith exhibited excellent reusability through five adsorption–desorption cycles. Thus, the eco-friendly Pickering-MIPEs is a potential alternative method to be used to fabricate multi-porous adsorption materials for environmental applications.

Epoxidation Kinetics of High-Linolenic Triglyceride Catalyzed by Solid Acidic-Ion Exchange Resin. Sci Rep 2019; 9:8987.

Abstract
Epoxidation of high-linolenic perilla oil was carried out in the presence of solid acidic ion-exchange resin at varying reaction temperatures for 8 h. A pseudo two-phase kinetic model that captures the differences in reactivity of double bonds at various positions in the fatty acid of a triglyceride molecule during both epoxy formation and cleavage was developed. The proposed model is based on the Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson (L-H-H-W) postulates and considers the adsorption of formic acid on the catalyst as the rate-determining step. To estimate the kinetic rate constants of various reactions, genetic algorithm was used to fit experimentally obtained iodine and epoxy values of epoxidized perilla oil. A re-parametrized form of Arrhenius equation was used in the proposed model to facilitate the precise estimation of parameters with least computational effort. The obtainment of the least error between experimentally determined and theoretically predicted iodine and epoxy values indicates the robustness of the proposed model.
