Abstract
Arsenic contamination of water is a global environmental concern, and membrane technology combined with nanotechnology contributes to more efficient removal of arsenic. In this study, Fe-Mn oxide (FM), Polydopamine (PDA), and PDA-modified FM (PFM) were incorporated into polysulfone (PSF) to prepare adsorption membranes (PFMP) for arsenic removal. The prepared nanoparticles and membranes were characterized using TEM, SEM, FTIR, TGA, contact angle, and pure water flux. The introduction of particles enhanced the hydrophilicity of the membranes and significantly enhanced the pure water flux of the membranes. Adsorption experiments indicated that the PFMP membrane exhibited the best arsenic removal performance, with maximum adsorption capacities for As(III) and As(V) were 11.57 mg/g and 12.39 mg/g, respectively. The Langmuir model fitted the adsorption isotherms well, and the kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order model. The filtration experiment revealed that the PFMP membrane was capable of reducing As(III) solution (915 L/m2) and As(V) solution (1075 L/m2) from a concentration of 100 μg/L to the safe limit of As (<10 μg/L). The As-loaded membrane was regenerated using NaOH solution (pH=11), and the filtration experiment was repeated. FTIR and XPS demonstrated that the mechanism of the reaction between the membrane and arsenic was ligand exchange, where the arsenic ions were bonded to the oxygen ions to form Mn-O-As and Fe-O-As.

Lee J, Ju S, Lim C, Lee J, Yoon Y. Effect of a solvothermal method using DMF on the dispersibility of rGO, application of rGO as a CDI electrode material, and recovery of sp 2-hybridized carbon. RSC Adv 2024; 14:22665-22675. [PMID: 39027039 PMCID: PMC11255561 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra03387f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Graphene is prized for its large surface area and superior electrical properties. Efforts to maximize the electrical conductivity of graphene commonly result in the recovery of sp2-hybridized carbon in the form of reduced graphene oxide (rGO). However, rGO shows poor dispersibility and aggregation when mixed with other materials without hydrophilic functional groups, This could lead to electrode delamination, agglomeration, and reduced efficiency. This study focuses on the impact of solvothermal reduction on the dispersibility and capacitance of rGO compared with chemical reduction. The results show that the dispersibility of rGO-D obtained through solvothermal reduction using N,N-dimethylformamide improved compared to that obtained through chemical reduction (rGO-H). Furthermore, when utilized as a material for CDI, an improvement in deionization efficiency was observed in the AC@rGO-D-based CDI system compared to AC@rGO-H and AC. However, the specific surface area, a key factor affecting CDI efficiency, was higher in rGO-H (249.572 m2 g-1) than in rGO-D (150.661 m2 g-1). While AC@rGO-H is expected to exhibit higher deionization efficiency due to its greater specific surface area, the opposite was observed. This highlights the effect of the improved dispersibility of rGO-D and underscores its potential as a valuable material for CDI applications.

Abstract
A cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) polymer hydrogel containing magnetic iron oxide nanorods (Fe3O4NRs) was prepared for As(III) removal in water. Systematic studies on the performance of these prepared CNC-based composite hydrogels for the removal of As(III) have been undertaken. The maximum adsorption capacity of the CNC-g-PAA/qP4VP (CPqP) hydrogel was 241.3 mg/g. After introduction of Fe3O4NRs in the hydrogel, the maximum adsorption capacity of the resulting Fe3O4NRs@CNC-g-PAA/qP4VP (FN@CPqP) hydrogel was further improved to 263.0 mg/g. The high adsorption performance can be attributed to the facts that the 3D interconnected porous network of the hydrogel allows As species to easily enter into the hydrogel, the quaternized P4VP chains provides more adsorption sites, Fe3O4NRs uniformly distributed in the internal cavity of the hydrogel significantly reduces the nanoparticle aggregation. The adsorption kinetics indicated that the adsorption of arsenic by the hydrogel was mainly chemisorption. The isotherm analysis revealed that the adsorption of arsenic by the hydrogel was principally monolayer adsorption on a homogeneous surface. Moreover, the as-prepared CNC-based polymer hydrogels exhibited good stability and reusability with negligible performance loss after five adsorption-desorption cycles. The novel FN@CPqP hydrogel demonstrates great potential as a cost-effective adsorbent for the removal of arsenic contaminants from wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, we prepare a highly efficient BiVO4 photoanode co-catalyzed with an ultrathin layer of N, S co-doped FeCo-Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for photoelectrochemical water splitting. The introduction of N and S into FeCo-MOFs enhances electron and mass transfer, exposing more catalytic active sites and significantly improving the catalytic performance of N, S co-doped FeCo-based MOFs in water oxidation. The optimized BiVO4/NS-FeCo-MOFs photoanode exhibits impressive results, with a photocurrent density of 5.23 mA cm-2 at 1.23 V vs. Reversible Hydrogen Electrode (RHE) and an incident photon-to-charge conversion efficiency (IPCE) of 74.4 % at 450 nm in a 0.1 M phosphate buffered solution (pH = 7). These values are 4.84 times and 6.2 times higher than those of the original BiVO4 photoanode, respectively. Furthermore, the optimized BiVO4/NS-FeCo-MOFs photoanode demonstrates exceptional long-term stability, maintaining 96 % of the initial current after five hours.

The family of very porous solid materials known as aerogels has a variety of exceptional qualities, such as high porosity, high specific surface area, ultralow density, and superior thermal, acoustic, and dielectric properties. As a result, aerogels have the potential to be used for many different purposes, such as absorbents, supercapacitors, energy storage, and catalytic supports. Recently, cellulose nanofibril (CNF) aerogels have attracted remarkable attention for their large-scale utilization because of their high absorption capacity, low density, biodegradability, large surface area, high porosity, and biocompatibility. Recent advancements have confirmed that CNF-based hybrid aerogels can be proposed as the most privileged and promising novel material in various applications. This comprehensive review highlights the recent reports of the CNF-based hybrid aerogels, including their properties and frequent preparation approaches, in addition to their new applications in the areas of fire retardant, water and oil separation, supercapacitors, environmental, and CO2 capture. It is also assumed that this article will promote additional investigation and establish innovative capabilities to enhance novel CNF-based hybrid aerogels with new and exciting applications.

Abstract
The development of preparation strategies for iron-based catalysts with prominent catalytic activity, stability, and cost effectiveness is greatly significant for the field of catalytic hydrogenation but still remains challenging. Herein, a method for the preparation of iron-based catalysts by the simple pyrolysis of organometallic coordination polymers is described. The catalyst Fe@C-2 with sufficient oxygen vacancies obtained in specific coordination environment exhibited superior nitro hydrogenation performance, acid resistance, and reaction stability. Through solvent effect experiments, toxicity experiments, TPSR, and DFT calculations, it was determined that the superior activity of the catalyst was derived from the contribution of sufficient oxygen vacancies to hydrogen activation and the good adsorption ability of FeO on substrate molecules.

Abstract
The goal of taking out As(III) from water is to reduce the detriment that poisonous metals can do to people and nature. A substance that can absorb As(III), TFPOTDB-SO3H, was made by combining 2,5-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid and 2,4,6-tris-(4-formylphenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine in a reaction that joins molecules together. This substance can adsorb As(III) very well and has excellent qualities like being easy to use again, separate substances, and filter out liquids. At pH = 8 and at room temperature, TFPOTDB-SO3H adsorbed a lot of As(III). It achieved a removal rate of 97.1 % within 10 min and could adsorb up to 344.8 mg/g. A research was conducted to investigate the effect of co-existing anions on the elimination of arsenic. The findings indicated that the presence of anions had a minimal adverse impact, reducing As(III) uptake by approximately 1-7 %. The kinetics of the uptake process were found to be controlled by the quasi-second order kinetic model, while the Langmuir isotherm model validated that the mechanism for As(III) removal was monolayer chemisorption. According to the thermodynamic analysis, the adsorption process was endothermic and occurred spontaneously. Moreover, even after 4 successive adsorption-desorption cycles, the adsorbent preserved a substantial uptake productivity of 88.86 % for As(III). The results collectively indicate that TFPOTDB-SO3H holds considerable promise for the efficient adsorption and elimination of As(III) ions from wastewater.

Abstract
This research aimed to engineer magnetic hydroxyapatite-coated iron-chromium (HAp-FeCr) microspheres to enhance dental surface polishing and plaque elimination. Utilizing a tailored sol-gel approach, the HAp-FeCr microspheres were synthesized and exhaustively characterized via scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, ζ-potential, X-ray diffractometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy methodologies. Key findings showcased that these microspheres retained their magnetic properties post-HAp coating, as evidenced by the magnetization curves. An innovative magnetic polishing system was developed, incorporating these microspheres and a 2000 rpm magnet. Comparative evaluations between traditional air-powder polishing and the proposed magnetic technique demonstrated the latter's superiority. Notably, the magnetic polishing led to a substantial reduction in dental plaque on the tooth surface, decreasing bacterial adhesion and early biofilm formation by Streptococcus gordonii and Lactobacillus acidophilus, where the most pronounced effects were observed in samples with elevated HAp content. A significant 60% reduction in dental plaque was achieved with the magnetic method relative to air-powder polishing. Furthermore, the HAp-FeCr microspheres' biocompatibility was verified through cytotoxicity tests and animal studies. In essence, the magnetic HAp-FeCr microspheres present a novel and efficient strategy for dental treatments, holding immense potential for improving oral health.

Le Thi AP, Zhe L, Kobayashi T. Arsenic removal adsorbent using limonite-polyethersulfone composite fiber via continuous flow column process. WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2024; 96:e10973. [PMID: 38229448 DOI: 10.1002/wer.10973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2024]
Abstract
This research introduces an enhanced limonite-based composite fiber adsorbent for arsenic (As) removal. The modification involves creating polyethersulfone (PES)-limonite composite fibers loaded with 60 wt% limonite powders, designed to be applicable in water flow environments. The fibers were prepared using a wet-spinning process based on phase inversion, with varying concentrations (10, 20, and 30 wt%) of PES in NMP solution. The composite fiber with 10 wt% NMP exhibited a porous structure and demonstrated efficient absorption of both As(III) and As(V). Adsorption followed the Langmuir model, with qm values of 1.5 mg/g for As(III) and 3.2 mg/g for As(V) at pH 6. In column experiments, As removal rates increased with contact time, attributed to decreased flow rates (1 mL/min). Moreover, increasing fiber column height led to enhanced removal rates, as indicated by the Adams-Bohart model. The mechanism for As(V) removal involved the formation of an inner-sphere complex through ion exchange between α-FeOOH and HAsO4 - and H2 AsO4 2- in an aqueous solution at pH 6.8. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Changing the polyethersulfone ratio in the composite leads to variations in the appearance of limonite within each composite fiber. Limonite composite fibers effectively remove As(III) and As(V) at neutral pH. The adsorption behavior follows Langmuir kinetic model, the qm of 1.5 mg/g for As(III) and 3.2 mg/g for As(V). Longer columns and contact times enhance arsenic (As) removal in practical water treatment systems. Adam-Bohart model aids in predicting breakthrough and saturation time in As adsorption column design.

Abstract
As a kind of emerging contaminant, organoarsenic compounds have drawn wide concern because of their considerable solubilities in water, and the highly toxic inorganic arsenic species formed during their biotic and abiotic degradation in the natural environment. Thus, the effective removal and studying of the adsorption mechanism of organoarsenic compounds are of significant urgency. In this work, MnFe2O4 and MnFe2O4/graphene were prepared through a facile solvothermal method. From the results of the Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) characterization, it can be found that MnFe2O4 nanoparticles were uniformly distributed on the surface of the graphene. And the specific surface area of the MnFe2O4/graphene was about 146.39 m2 g-1, much higher than that of the MnFe2O4 (86.15 m2 g-1). The interactions between organoarsenic compounds and adsorbents were conducted to study their adsorption behavior and mechanism. The maximum adsorption capacities of MnFe2O4/graphene towards p-arsanilic acid (p-ASA) and roxarsone (ROX) were calculated to be 22.75 and 30.59 mg g-1. Additionally, the ionic strength, negative ions, and humus were introduced to investigate the adsorption performance of organoarsenic compounds. Electrostatic adsorption and surface complexation are the primary adsorption mechanisms on account of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis. This research extends the knowledge into studying the interaction between organoarsenic species and hybrid nanomaterials in the natural environment.

Abstract
Exposure to thallium (Tl), a noxious heavy metal, poses significant health risks to both humans and animals upon ingestion. Therefore, monitoring Tl levels in the environment is crucial to prevent human exposure and reduce the risk of developing severe health problems. This paper presents the development of a highly sensitive Tl ions sensor through surface modification of a glassy carbon electrode with a nanocomposite comprising MnO2 magnetic sepiolite and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MnO2@Fe3O4/Sep/MWCNT/GCE). Multiple methodologies were employed to assess the performance of the newly developed sensor. By employing square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) to optimize the measurement conditions, notable enhancements were observed in the stripping peak currents of Tl (I) on the MnO2@Fe3O4/Sep/MWCNT/GCE surface. The effectiveness of the nanocomposite in facilitating electron transfer between the Tl (I) ions (guest) and the electrode (host) was demonstrated from the enhanced signals observed at the different modified electrode surfaces under optimal conditions. The developed sensor displayed a wide linear range of 0.1-1500 ppb for Tl (I) and a low detection limit of 0.03 ppb for Tl (I). It was found to be selective for Tl (I) ions while remaining unaffected by interfering non-target ions in the presence of the target ions. Despite its simple preparation procedure, the modified electrode exhibited high stability and excellent reproducibility for measuring Tl (I). The outstanding electroanalytical performances of the MnO2@Fe3O4/Sep/MWCNT/GCE electrode enabled its successful use as an ultrasensitive sensor for determining trace amounts of Tl in environmental samples.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2303065.

Abstract
Stabilization of the Pt in N-doped carbon materials is an effective method to improve the performance of electrocatalytic methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Nevertheless, the roles of different N configurations (pyridinic N, pyrrolic N, and graphitic N) toward the electrochemical performance of Pt-based catalysts remain unclear. Herein, Density Functional Theory calculations are adopted to elucidate the synergistic promotion of MOR by different N-configurations with Pt nanoparticles (NPs). Guided by the theoretical study, a series of MOR electrocatalysts with different ratios of pyridinic N and pyrrolic N (denoted as Pt/N-CNT-X (500, 600, 700, 800, and 900)) are designed and synthesized. Surprisingly, the electrocatalytic activity of Pt/N-CNT-600 with a suitable ratio of pyrrolic-N and pyridinic-N for MOR reaches 2394.7 mA mg-1 Pt and 5515.8 mA mg-1 Pt in acidic and alkaline media, respectively, which are superior to the Pt/CNTs, commercial Pt/C, and the ever-reported Pt-based electrocatalysts. The strong metal-support interaction induced by the N-doping is the crucial reason for the superior electrocatalytic performance. More importantly, the ability of pyrrolic-N and pyridinic-N in promoting the adsorption and oxidation of CH3 OH and the oxidation of CO* is substantiated for the first time in methanol oxidation. This work provides new insights on the design of efficient electrocatalysts for MOR.

Abstract
Ternary hierarchical Fe3O4@C@MoS2 composites and binary hierarchical Fe3O4@C composites were successfully fabricated by a modified mixed solvothermal method, a self-oxidation polymerization method, and a hydrothermal process. Their magnetic properties and microwave absorption performance were investigated. Dual resonance behavior was observed in the Fe3O4@C@MoS2 composites. One of the resonances was attributed to natural resonance with a resonance frequency of 2.58 GHz, which was much higher than that for Fe3O4 bulk (1.5 GHz). The other originated from the superparamagnetic/ferromagnetic relaxation with a resonance frequency of 12.45 GHz. The minimum reflection loss (RLmin) reached -64.30 dB with a matched thickness of 2.24 mm at 11.64 GHz, and the maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EABmax) covered 6.39 GHz with a matched thickness of 1.89 mm. In addition, the maximum Radar cross section (RCS) reduction value reached 31.90 dB m2 at a scattering angle of 0°. Electron holography analysis confirmed a dense magnetic absorption network in the Fe3O4@C@MoS2 composites. The boost in microwave absorption performance was caused by the synergistic effects of magnetic and dielectric properties owing to the ternary hierarchical structure, shape magnetic anisotropy, and incorporation of 1T/2H MoS2. Besides, the binary hierarchical Fe3O4@C composites also exhibited good absorbing performance caused by natural resonance, with an RLmin of -52.90 dB at 5.80 mm, an EABmax of 5.98 GHz at 3.38 mm, and a relatively high RCS reduction value of 13.04 dB m2 at θ = 20°. This work paves the way for designing multicomponent hierarchical absorbers with broadband and intensive microwave absorption.

WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2023; 95:e10925. [PMID: 37691327 DOI: 10.1002/wer.10925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 09/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
Coated stainless steel meshes with layered double hydroxides and graphene oxide nanocomposites (LDH/GO) were used as desalination membranes. The nature of stainless steel mesh allows a greater amount of sorbent to be coated on the surface using sol-gel technique and increases the adsorption capacity of ions and the efficiency of desalination. These substrates improve the contact surface area so that approximately 5 min is required for the desalination process. The LDH/GO stainless steel mesh exhibited excellent corrosion resistance and tensile strength of 99.9% and 112 MPa, respectively. To achieve the best desalination efficiency, different parameters were optimized, including the ratio of GO to LDH in the nanocomposites, the number of mesh layers, NaCl concentrations, and process cycles. The maximum adsorption capacity for the NaCl was 555.5 mg g-1 . The results revealed that LDH/GO nanocomposite was able to remove (94.3 ± 0.5) % of the NaCl under the optimum conditions. The proposed method was used to successfully remove Na+ , Mg+2 , Ca+2 , and K+ cations from seawater, with the yields of 92.3%, 92.5%, 91.2%, and 90.2%, respectively. PRACTITIONER POINTS: The salts are removed via interaction between salt ions and functional groups on the LDH/GO nanocomposite surface. A high amount of adsorbent loaded on the surface of steel mesh leads to an improvement in the adsorption capacity. The sol-gel technique strengthens the LDH/GO nanocomposites on the surface of steel mesh.

Abstract
The exploration of highly efficient metal-organic framework (MOF)-based electrocatalysts is a research topic of high significance owing to their potential applications in sustainable and clean energy production. Herein, a mesoporous MOF containing Ni and Co nodes along with 2-methylimidazole (Hmim) ligands has been directly grown on the surface of the pyramid-like NiSb through a convenient cathodic electrodeposition strategy and evaluated as the catalyst for water splitting catalysis. Tailoring catalytically active sites through porous well-arranging architecture and the coupled interface offers a catalyst with exquisite performance that displays ultra-low Tafel constant of 33 and 42 mV dec-1 toward the hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction, sequentially, and also enhanced durability at high current densities over 150 h in a 1 M KOH medium. The success of the synthesized NiCo-MOF@NiSb@GB electrode is explained by the intimate contact between the NiCo-MOF and NiSb with well-tailored phase interfaces, the positive coupling effect between Ni and Co metal centers in the MOF, and the porous structure with abundant active sites toward electrocatalysis. Importantly, the present work provides a new technical reference for the electrochemical synthesis of heterostructural MOFs as a promising candidate for energy-related applications.

Abstract
Surface alkali metal ions are typically utilized as available promoters for ambient HCHO oxidation. In this study, NaCo2O4 nanodots with two different preferential crystallographic orientations are synthesized by facile attachment to SiO2 nanoflakes with varying degrees of lattice defects. A unique Na-rich environment is established through interlayer Na+ diffusion based on the small size effect. The optimized catalyst Pt/HNaCo2O4/T2 can deal with HCHO below 5 ppm in the static measurement system with a sustained release background and produces approximately 40 ppm of CO2 in 2 h. Combining the experimental analyses with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the possible catalytic enhancing mechanism is proposed from the support promotion perspective, and the positive synergistic effect of Na-rich, oxygen vacancies and optimized facets for Pt-dominant ambient HCHO oxidation via both kinetic and thermodynamic processes is confirmed.

Abstract
A water-stable bimetallic Fe/Zr metal-organic framework [UiO-66(Fe/Zr)] for exceptional decontamination of arsenic in water was fabricated through a facile one-step strategy. The batch adsorption experiments revealed the excellent performances with ultrafast adsorption kinetics due to the synergistic effects of two functional centers and large surface area (498.33 m2/g). The absorption capacity of UiO-66(Fe/Zr) for arsenate [As(V)] and arsenite [As(III)] reached as high as 204.1 mg/g and 101.7 mg/g, respectively. Langmuir model was suitable to describe the adsorption behaviors of arsenic on UiO-66(Fe/Zr). The fast kinetics (adsorption equilibrium in 30 min, 10 mg/L As) and pseudo-second-order model implied the strong chemisorption between arsenic ions and UiO-66(Fe/Zr), which was further confirmed by DFT theoretical calculations. The results of FT-IR, XPS analysis and TCLP test demonstrated that arsenic was immobilized on the surface of UiO-66(Fe/Zr) through Fe/Zr-O-As bonds, and the leaching rates of the adsorbed As(III) and As(V) from the spent adsorbent were only 5.6% and 1.4%, respectively. UiO-66(Fe/Zr) can be regenerated for five cycles without obvious removal efficiency decrease. The original arsenic (1.0 mg/L) in lake and tap water was effectively removed in 2.0 hr [99.0% of As(III) and 99.8% of As(V)]. The bimetallic UiO-66(Fe/Zr) has great potentials in water deep purification of arsenic with fast kinetics and high capacity.

Abstract
The present work aimed to fabricate a set of hybrid bioactive membrane in the form of bio-nanocomposite films for dental applications using the casting dissolution procedures. The formulation of the targeted materials was consisting of cellulose acetate/bioactive glass/hydroxyapatite/carbon nanotubes with a general abbreviation CA-HAP-BG-SWCNTs. The nanocomposites were characterized using XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX and Raman spectroscopy. XRD, FTIR and SEM characters confirm the nanocomposites formation with good compatibility. The fabricated materials had a semi crystalline structure. The mechanical and thermal properties, as well as contact angle and bioactivity of the fabricated nanocomposites were investigated. The SEM images for showed beehive-like architectures with a thicker frame for the second material. All fabricated materials showed good thermal behaviors. Furthermore, the agar diffusion antimicrobial study showed that the prepared nanocomposites do not exhibit an antibacterial activity against five pathogenic bacterial strains. Additionally, cytotoxicity of a dental nanocomposite filling agent was evaluated. Vero normal cells were incubated with test materials for 72h at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Cell viability was detected using a SRB assay. All nanocomposites were mildly to non-cytotoxic to Vero cells at high concentration in contrast to the inhibitory effect of doxorubicin which was added at 10-fold lower concertation than the nanocomposites. Hence, the proposed nanocomposite is promising candidates for dental applications.

Stable and recyclable lanthanum hydroxide-doped graphene oxide biopolymer foam for superior aqueous arsenate removal: Insight mechanisms, batch, and column studies. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 313:137615. [PMID: 36572366 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.137615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a graphene oxide-based lanthanum hydroxide/chitosan foam (CSGOL foam) was synthesized for arsenate (As(V)) remediation in surface water. The synthesized CSGOL foam texture and purity was assessed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies. The results proved that the foam was highly porous, stable, and had high surface functionality that facilitated adsorption for water pollutant removal. The sorption results proved that the As(V) removal was high (146.20 mg/g at pH 6 with 0.5 g/L CSGOL foam) when compared to the similar type of materials, endothermic chemisorption due to the production of monodentate and bidentate inner-sphere complexes. Furthermore, continuous column results indicated that the As(V) concentration in real surface waters was reduced to WHO standards (less than 10 μg As/L of water) of As(V) in drinking water for up to 10,000 bed volume. Further it can be used up to four cycles without loss of efficacy less than 93%. Because of its excellent removal capabilities and simple synthesis technique, CSGOL foam shows significant promise for treating As(V)-containing water. Further, the XPS analysis and batch studies results suggests that As(V) removal mechanism was involved electrostatic and surface complexation through chemical interaction predominately.

Abstract
Designing and developing earth-abundant electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media is a critical element in the societal development of sustainable energy. MIL-53(Fe-Ni)/NF-2200Gs was synthesized under an external magnetic field. Such MIL-53(Fe-Ni)/NF-2200Gs show exceptionally high catalytic activity and require an overpotential of only 174 mV to drive a geometrical catalytic current density of 10 mA cm-2 in 1.0 M KOH, superior to RuO2 and most Fe, Ni-based electrocatalysts. Our work emphasizes the optimization of catalytic activity originating from the improvement of the magnetic properties of the catalyst, which enhances the spin polarization and tailors the d-electron structure of cations, leading to outstanding OER activity. This work would open new opportunities to design and develop transition-metal-based nanometer arrays toward efficient and stable water oxidation in alkaline media for applications.

Abstract
This study found that the cross-linkable zinc acrylic nanosphere aggregates (NAs) as precursors were successfully prepared by a simple one-step synthesis route, and Zn,O dopped-carbon nanocomposites were obtained through temperature-controllable engineering, which showed excellent adsorption capacities for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). A series of experiments were performed to investigate and compare carbon materials for the efficient removal of PFOA. The maximum adsorption capacities of PFOA absorbed on carbon nanospheres aggregates (CNAs) were calculated by the Langmuir (360.98 mg/g) and Sips models (309.65 mg/g). The kinetic model indicated there was chemical adsorption and physical adsorption in the adsorption process. Van der Waals force and electrostatic interactions might be the dominant mechanism of the adsorption process. Additionally, pore-filling also played a role in the adsorption process. Furthermore, the adsorption efficiency was still above 90% after five cycles. The selective adsorption ability was tested through various pollutants (metal ions and dye solutions) absorbed by the CNAs. Our results proved that carbon nanosphere aggregates (CNAs) are expected to be outstanding adsorption materials for the decontamination of PFOA from wastewater.

Abstract
Cr(VI) has drawn growing concern because of its acute toxicity and strong carcinogenic properties to most organisms. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted broad interest in removing Cr(VI) as a novel porous adsorbent. In this work, a novel modified Cu@MIL-53(Fe) material and its derivatives have been successfully synthesized via solvothermal and calcination methods and applied for Cr(VI) removal. Experimental parameters, such as the amount of the added Cu, the calcination temperature, the pollutant concentrations, the pH value of solution, etc. were optimized. The Cu@MIL-53(Fe) optimized synthesis parameters were determined as a 0.5 M ratio of Cu/Fe and 800 °C of calcination temperature. The Cr(VI) removal capacities were 20.65 mg/g at 180 min and 13.35 mg/g in 15 min, and 45.55% of total chromium and 99.05% of Cr(VI) were removed at a dose of 0.5 g/L, pH = 3, 25 °C. Batch experiments revealed that the reaction process applied for Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second-order models most suitable with qm = 724.6 mg/g. Additionally, Cr (VI) could be reduced to less toxic Cr(III) by Fe0 and Cu0 during redox reactions. According to further mechanism analysis, the process was primarily monolayer chemical adsorption, followed by electrostatic interaction, redox reaction co-precipitation and coordination effect, etc. A novel promising method of Cr(VI) removal from acidic water by MOFs adsorption is presented in this study.

Abstract
Recent reports show air pollutant magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Considering various field applications of MNPs because of developments in nanotechnology, the aim of this study is to identify major trends and data gaps in research on magnetite to allow for relevant environmental and health risk assessment. Herein, a bibliometric and systematic analysis of the published magnetite literature (n = 31 567) between 1990 to 2020 is completed. Following appraisal, publications (n = 244) are grouped into four time periods with the main research theme identified for each as 1990-1997 "oxides," 1998-2005 "ferric oxide," 2006-2013 "pathology," and 2014-2020 "animal model." Magnetite formation and catalytic activity dominate the first two time periods, with the last two focusing on the exploitation of nanoparticle engineering. Japan and China have the highest number of citations for articles published. Longitudinal analysis indicates that magnetite research for the past 30 years shifted from environmental and industrial applications, to biomedical and its potential toxic effects. Therefore, whilst this study presents the research profile of different countries, the development in research on MNPs, it also reveals that further studies on the effects of MNPs on human health is much needed.

Abstract
Emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals are of special concern because despite their low environmental concentration, their biological activity can be intense, and they should be prevented to reach uncontrolledly to the environment. A graphene-based hybrid material decorated with Fe3O4 and TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) has been prepared to effectively remove emerging pollutants as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) Ibuprofen and Diclofenac present in water at low environmental concentrations by a one-step functionalization process following a novel gentle and scalable surfactant depletion approach. Following this methodology, nanoparticles are progressively deprived of their original surfactant in the presence of graphene, leading to the formation of hybrid nanostructures composed of two different types of nanoparticles well dispersed over the graphene nanosheets. Ibuprofen and Diclofenac adsorption kinetics on the composites was investigated via UV-Vis spectroscopy. The as prepared hybrid material possesses high adsorption capacity, superparamagnetic properties, photocatalytic behavior, and good water dispersibility. Thanks to incorporating TiO2 nanoparticles as in situ catalysts, the adsorption performance of composites is restored after use, which could be a promising recycling pathway for the adsorbents in wastewater treatments.

Abstract
Impact of heavy metal (HM) pollution and its understanding on environment as well as human beings has grown a lot during the last few decades. The goal of this study is to create a scientometric study on heavy metal contamination, in the period 1989 to 2020, in order to provide futuristic goals for the new researchers on wastewater treatment. For this, a search was conducted in the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases, related to heavy metal pollution. Totally, 37,154 records were collected during the study period from 1989 to 2020. The findings revealed that China, the United States, and India has most referenced papers across a wide range of trans disciplinary issues such as toxicity, technology, and pollution. As a result, this study concludes that more research on various treatment methods is required in order to obtain high-quality water for consumption and routine activities, with the incorporation of various treatment tasks poses various challenges for the upcoming future studies.

Abstract
Ion desorption is extremely challenging for adsorbents with superior performance, and widely used conventional desorption methods involve high acid or base concentrations and large consumption of reagents. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the rapid and efficient desorption of ions on magnetite-graphene oxide (M-GO) by adding low amounts of Al3+. The corresponding concentration of Al3+ used is reduced by at least a factor 250 compared to conventional desorption method. The desorption rate reaches ~97.0% for the typical radioactive and bivalent ions Co2+, Mn2+, and Sr2+ within ~1 min. We achieve effective enrichment of radioactive 60Co and reduce the volume of concentrated 60Co solution by approximately 10 times compared to the initial solution. The M-GO can be recycled and reused easily without compromising its adsorption efficiency and magnetic performance, based on the unique hydration anionic species of Al3+ under alkaline conditions. Density functional theory calculations show that the interaction of graphene with Al3+ is stronger than with divalent ions, and that the adsorption probability of Al3+ is superior than that of Co2+, Mn2+, and Sr2+ ions. This suggests that the proposed method could be used to enrich a wider range of ions in the fields of energy, biology, environmental technology, and materials science.

Abstract
Development of a novel strategy to tackle bacterial-contaminated complex industrial wastewaters containing refractory organic pollutants is of great demand. In this study, polydopamine (PDA)-coated magnetic cellulose nanofiber (MCNF)-loaded silver nanoparticle (AgNP) (MCNF/PDA-Ag) nanocomposites were designed and applied for efficient degradation of organic dye pollutants and inactivation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in wastewater. In the presence of NaBH4, MCNF/PDA-Ag could achieve a high catalytic reduction rate of 6.54 min-1 for the removal of methylene blue. Similarly, it showed good catalytic reduction performance for methyl orange (0.63 min-1) and 4-nitrophenol (2.94 min-1). The MCNF/PDA-Ag nanocomposites can be easily magnetically recycled and reused with negligible loss of catalytic performance. Moreover, this nanocatalyst also exhibited excellent disinfection performance against E. coli, with more than 99% disinfection ratio at very low doses (50 μg/mL). Overall, this work provides new insights into a delicate design of advanced magnetically recyclable silver nanocomposites with ultrahigh catalytic rates and excellent antibacterial properties from sustainable nature biomass.

[PMID: 36431754 PMCID: PMC9696946 DOI: 10.3390/ma15228266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Throughout the world, the construction industry produces significant amounts of by-products and hazardous waste materials. The steel-making industry generates welding waste and dusts that are toxic to the environment and pose many economic challenges. Water-based drilling fluids (WBDF) are able to remove the drill cuttings in a wellbore and maintain the stability of the wellbore to prevent formation damage. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that reports the application of welding waste and its derived graphene oxide (GO) as a fluid-loss additive in drilling fluids. In this research, GO was successfully synthesized from welding waste through chemical exfoliation. The examination was confirmed using XRD, FTIR, FESEM and EDX analyses. The synthesized welding waste-derived GO in WBDF is competent in improving rheological properties by increasing plastic viscosity (PV), yield point (YP) and gel strength (GS), while reducing filtrate loss (FL) and mud cake thickness (MCT). This study shows the effect of additives such as welding waste, welding waste-derived GO and commercial GO, and their amount, on the rheological properties of WBDF. Concentrations of these additives were used at 0.01 ppb, 0.1 ppb and 0.5 ppb. Based on the experiment results, raw welding waste and welding waste-derived GO showed better performance compared with commercial GO. Among filtration properties, FL and MCT were reduced by 33.3% and 39.7% with the addition of 0.5 ppb of raw welding-waste additive, while for 0.5 ppb of welding waste-derived GO additive, FL and MCT were reduced by 26.7% and 20.9%, respectively. By recycling industrial welding waste, this research conveys state-of-the-art and low-cost drilling fluids that aid in waste management, and reduce the adverse environmental and commercial ramifications of toxic wastes.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 313:120115.

Abstract
Modification of biochar by low-cost iron sources has gained increasing attention to improve pollutants removal performance and reduce production costs compared to conventional chemical modifications. While such iron sources generally have complex compositions, their effects on properties of the iron-biochar composite are not well investigated. This study produced an iron-biochar (RBC) composite from co-pyrolysis of incinerated sewage sludge ash (ISSA) and peanut shell, and examined the role of silica with widespread existence in ISSA and other low-cost iron sources on properties of the iron-biochar composite relevant to As(III)/As(V) removal. Silica was found to react with iron during the pyrolysis process at 850 °C and formed iron silicon at the expense of producing zero valent iron and Fe3O4 which resulted in a poorer removal efficacy for As(III) and As(V) compared to the iron-biochar (FBC) made from pure Fe2O3 and peanut shell. Moreover, a high leaching of reactive silica from RBC was observed which affected the formation of corrosion products of ZVI and competed with arsenic for active adsorption sites. Despite this, RBC still exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 17.44 and 57.56 mg/g towards As(III) and As(V) respectively at pH 3.0. Overall, this study provides an interesting insight into upcycling ISSA into useful media for sorptive removal of arsenic from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
This is a comprehensive study on the reinforcement of electrospun poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) scaffolds with a composite filler of magnetite-reduced graphene oxide (Fe3O4-rGO). The composite filler promoted the increase of average fiber diameters and decrease of the degree of crystallinity of hybrid scaffolds. The decrease in the fiber diameter enhanced the ductility and mechanical strength of scaffolds. The surface electric potential of PHB/Fe3O4-rGO composite scaffolds significantly increased with increasing fiber diameter owing to a greater number of polar functional groups. The changes in the microfiber diameter did not have any influence on effective piezoresponses of composite scaffolds. The Fe3O4-rGO filler imparted high saturation magnetization (6.67 ± 0.17 emu/g) to the scaffolds. Thus, magnetic PHB/Fe3O4-rGO composite scaffolds both preserve magnetic properties and provide a piezoresponse, whereas varying the fiber diameter offers control over ductility and surface electric potential.

Abstract
Extraction of radionuclide contaminants from wastewater systems has recently drawn widespread attention, and then developing a novel and green extracting technology has also become an enormous challenge. Herein, a facile hydrothermal method was employed to fabricate cobalt-incorporated cryptomelane-type manganese oxide molecular sieve (Co-OMS-2) for extraction Eu(III) from wastewater under diverse experimental conditions. All kinds of characterized techniques, such as SEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR, BET, EDS and XPS had verified the qualified synthesis process and splendid structural features of the Co-OMS-2. The maximum adsorption capacity of Co-OMS-2 was 7.62 × 10-4 mol/g for Eu(III) at 298 K, which was superior than primarily traditional materials reported previous literatures. The high adsorption capacity of Eu(III) onto Co-OMS-2 was primarily attributed to high specific surface area and abundant surface functional groups, and the interactions were mainly contributed to strong surface complexation and electrostatic attraction. Under the condition of low pH, the outer-sphere surface complexation and cation exchange were primary mechanisms to Eu(III) adsorption onto Co-OMS-2 composites, while inner-sphere surface complexation was mainly assigned to Eu(III) adsorption onto Co-OMS-2 under the high pH sections. The Co-OMS-2 composite achieved equilibrium in a relatively short time, and this excellent performance was conducive to the treatment of Eu(III) under the extreme emergency conditions. In view of the extraordinary adsorption capacity and recycled reusability, the Co-OMS-2 composites can be as prospective adsorbents adopted for the extraction of Eu(III) in real wastewater management.

Abstract
Contamination of water with arsenic is a major global health problem. The use of adsorbent materials for the removal of As from aqueous systems is a plausible solution to this problem. In this work, the use of commercial bentonites (purified and modified with iron (III)) for the removal of As from water was studied. The samples were characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier Transformed Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms to determine their physicochemical properties. The arsenic removal capacities of adsorbent materials were studied from 1 mg/L solutions of As (III) using the colorimetric technique of molybdenum blue. High adsorption capacity (0.33 mg/g) of As (III) was obtained in aqueous systems after 1 h of treatment with unmodified bentonite. The incorporation of iron improved the removal performance in short times. The obtained results could be the starting point for the development of a low-cost filtration system that contributes to solve the problem of arsenic in water.

Abstract
Lead and Cadmium, identified as toxic heavy metals, cause significant imbalance in the eco-system due to their tendency to bioaccumulate. Remediation of heavy metals by conventional adsorptive materials suffer demerits related to low efficiency or removal. Among the variety of adsorbent materials used in the adsorption process, metal oxides- and graphene oxide magnetic nanocomposites have gained a considerable attention. The use of nanomaterials may help to reduce this contamination, but after use, they are difficult to remove from water. An added magnetic property to nanomaterials facilitates their retrieval after use. The magnetic properties of these hybrid magnetic nanocomposites, coupled with unique characteristics of organic and inorganic elements, have found extensive application in water treatment technology. Detailed discussion on functionalisation of magnetic nanocomposites and the enhanced performance are presented. Magnetic graphene oxide-covalently functionalized-tryptophan was reported to have the highest adsorption capacity of 766.1 mg/g for remediation of lead (II) ions and graphene oxide exhibited the highest adsorption capacity of 530 mg/g for Cd (II) ions. The adsorption mechanisms for heavy metal ions on the surface of novel adsorbents, particularly lead and cadmium, using magnetic nanocomposites have been explained with reference to the isotherm models studied. The future scope of research in this area of research is proposed.

Abstract
Humans and ecosystems are severely damaged by the existence of As(III/V) in the aquatic environment. Herein, an advanced Fe3O4@SFBC (Fe3O4-sunflower straw biochar) adsorbent was fabricated by co-precipitation method with sunflower straw biochar (SFBC) prepared at different calcination temperatures and different SFBC/Fe mass ratios as templates. The optimal pH for As(III/V) removal was investigated, and Fe3O4@SFBC shows removal efficiency of 86.43% and 95.94% for As(III) and As(V), respectively, at pH 6 and 4. The adsorption effect of calcining and casting the biochar-bound Fe3O4 obtained at different temperatures and different SFBC/Fe mass ratios were analyzed by batch experiments. The results show that when the SFBC biochar is calcined at 450 °C with an SFBC/Fe mass ratio of 1:5, the adsorption of As(III) and As(V) reaches the maximum, which are 121.347 and 188.753 mg/g, respectively. Fe3O4@SFBC morphology, structure, surface functional groups, magnetic moment, and internal morphology were observed by XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, and VSM under optimal working conditions. The material shows a small particle size in the range of 12-14 nm with better magnetic properties (54.52 emu/g), which is suitable for arsenic removal. The adsorption mechanism of As(III/V) by Fe3O4@SFBC indicates the presence of chemisorption, electrostatic, and complexation. Finally, the material was used for five consecutive cycles of adsorption-desorption experiments, and no significant decrease in removal efficiency was observed. Therefore, the new adsorbent Fe3O4@SFBC can be efficiently used for arsenic removal in the aqueous system.

Abstract
The mass production and application of graphene have gradually expanded from academic research to industrial applications, which will inevitably lead to graphene entering the soil actively and passively. Therefore, the relationship between graphene and the pedosphere has attracted a lot of attention in the last decade. The most important question is whether graphene will harm soil health. Fortunately, the evidence is that graphene can alter soil physicochemical properties and microbial communities to some extent, but not dramatically. On this basis, the role of graphene in soil has been investigated in all directions. This review summarizes the literature on the relationship between graphene and soils. Topics include remediation and sensing of soil using graphene materials, the effects of graphene on soil, and the effects of graphene in soil on plant growth. At the same time, this review also uses bibliometrics to review the history of the topic. The number of papers published each year, participating countries, participating institutions and important articles were analyzed in detail. Finally, based on the published literature, we described the future perspectives of graphene and the pedosphere.

Abstract
Water supplies contaminated with heavy metals are a worldwide concern. MXenes have properties that make them attractive for the removal of metal ions from water. This work presents a simple one-step method of Ti3C2Tx carboxylation that involves the use of a chelating agent with a linear structure, providing strong carboxylic acid groups with high mobility. The carboxylation decreases the zeta-potential of Ti3C2Tx by ~16 to ~18 mV over a pH range of 2.0-8.5 and improves Ti3C2Tx stability in the presence of molecular oxygen. pH in the range of 2-6 has a negligible effect on the adsorption capacity of Ti3C2Tx and COOH-Ti3C2Tx. Compared to Ti3C2Tx, COOH-Ti3C2Tx has a slightly higher and much faster mercury uptake, and the concentration of mercury ions leached out from COOH-Ti3C2Tx is lower. For both Ti3C2Tx and COOH-Ti3C2Tx, the leached mercury ion concentration is far below the U.S.-EPA maximum level. At an initial Hg2+ concentration of 50 ppm and pH of 6, COOH-Ti3C2Tx has the equilibrium adsorption capacity of 499.7 mg/g and removes 95% of Hg2+ in less than 1 min. Moreover, it has an equilibrium time of 5 min, which is significantly shorter than that of Ti3C2Tx (~ 60 min). Finally, its mercury-ion uptake capacity is higher than commercially available adsorbents reported in the literature. Its mercury removal is mainly via chemisorption and monolayer adsorption.
