Abstract
Water remediation, acknowledged as a significant scientific topic, guarantees the safety of drinking water, considering the diverse range of pollutants that can contaminate it. Among these pollutants, arsenic stands out as a particularly severe threat to human health, significantly compromising the overall quality of life. Despite widespread awareness of the harmful effects of arsenic poisoning, there remains a scarcity of literature on the utilization of biobased polymers as sustainable alternatives for comprehensive arsenic removal in practical concern. Cellulose and chitosan, two of the most prevalent biopolymers in nature, provide a wide range of potential benefits in cutting-edge industries, including water remediation. Nanocomposites derived from cellulose and chitosan offer numerous advantages over their larger equivalents, including high chelating properties, cost-effective production, strength, integrity during usage, and the potential to close the recycling loop. Within the sphere of arsenic remediation, this Review outlines the selection criteria for novel cellulose/chitosan-nanocomposites, such as scalability in synthesis, complete arsenic removal, and recyclability for technical significance. Especially, it aims to give an overview of the historical development of research in cellulose and chitosan, techniques for enhancing their performance, the current state of the art of the field, and the mechanisms underlying the adsorption of arsenic using cellulose/chitosan nanocomposites. Additionally, it extensively discusses the impact of shape and size on adsorbent efficiency, highlighting the crucial role of physical characteristics in optimizing performance for practical applications. Furthermore, this Review addresses regeneration, reuse, and future prospects for chitosan/cellulose-nanocomposites, which bear practical relevance. Therefore, this Review underscores the significant research gap and offers insights into refining the structural features of adsorbents to improve total inorganic arsenic removal, thereby facilitating the transition of green-material-based technology into operational use.

Khodakarami M, Honaker R. Photothermal self-floating aerogels based on chitosan functionalized with polydopamine and carbon nanotubes for removal of arsenic from wastewater. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 912:169519. [PMID: 38141991 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.169519] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/25/2023]
Abstract
Although wastewater disposal in evaporation ponds may be a cost-effective strategy for wastewater management, it overlooks water recycling and can possibly pose significant threats to the surrounding environment. The development of photothermal materials with functional groups capable of adsorbing toxic contaminants offers a promising opportunity for detoxification and potentially solar-driven recycling of wastewater disposed in evaporation ponds. In this study, ultralight aerogels based on chitosan (Ch), a natural biodegradable polymer, functionalized with mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) and carbon nanotubes (CNT) were fabricated through a facile approach and examined for the removal of arsenic from water. Three aerogels, namely chitosan, CNT/Ch, and PDA@CNT/Ch were fabricated and characterized using SEM, FTIR, TGA, XPS, and BET surface area analysis. Adsorption isotherms, thermodynamics, and kinetics were systematically investigated, revealing the feasibility of the fabricated aerogels for arsenic removal from aqueous solutions. The UV-Vis and photothermal analysis indicated excellent light-absorption and light-to-heat conversion performance of the functionalized aerogels. Arsenic adsorption by aerogels occurred rapidly and reached equilibrium within 30 to 60 min and was well-fitted by pseudo second-order kinetics model. The Langmuir model well described the adsorption isotherm, and the maximum adsorption capacities were found to be 31.5, 36.6, and 38.7 mg/g at neutral pH for chitosan, CNT/Ch, and PDA@CNT/Ch, respectively. The adsorption mechanism was studied by FTIR and XPS analysis and the adsorption pathway was evaluated using intraparticle diffusion model. This study broadens the scope of utilizing aerogels for the detoxification and potential recycling of wastewater from diverse sources and effluents disposed in evaporation ponds.

Abstract
Chitosan is a versatile and generous biopolymer obtained by alkaline deacetylation of naturally occurring chitin, the second most abundant biopolymer after cellulose. The excellent physicochemical properties of polycationic chitosan are attributed to the presence of varied functional groups such as amino, hydroxyl, and acetamido groups enabling researchers to tailor the structure and properties of chitosan by different methods such as crosslinking, grafting, copolymerization, composites, and molecular imprinting techniques. The prepared derivatives have diverse applications in the food industry, water treatment, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, textiles, and biomedical applications. In this review, numerous applications of chitosan and its derivatives in various fields have been discussed in detail with an insight into their structure-property relationship. This review article concludes and explains the chitosan's biocompatibility and efficiency that has been done so far with future usage and applications as well. Moreover, the possible mechanism of chitosan's activity towards several emerging fields such as energy storage, biodegradable packaging, photocatalysis, biorefinery, and environmental bioremediation are also discussed. Overall, this comprehensive review discusses the science and complete information behind chitosan's wonder function to improve our understanding which is much needful as well as will pave the way towards a sustainable future.

Abstract
New biobased hydrogels were prepared via a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) using polyacrylamide/chitosan (PAAM/chitosan) hydrogel for the adsorption of As(V) or poly acrylic acid/alginate (PAA/alginate) hydrogel for the adsorption of Cu(II). Both systems were crosslinked using N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide as the crosslinker and ammonium persulfate as the initiating agent. The hydrogels were characterized by SEM, Z-potential, and FTIR. Their performance was studied under different variables, such as the biopolymer effect, adsorbent dose, pH, contact time, and concentration of metal ions. The characterization of hydrogels revealed the morphology of the material, with and without biopolymers. In both cases, the added biopolymer provided porosity and cavities' formation, which improved the removal capacity. The Z-potential informed the surface charge of hydrogels, and the addition of biopolymers modified it, which explains the further metal removal ability. The FTIR spectra showed the functional groups of the hydrogels, confirming its chemical structure. In addition, the adsorption results showed that PAAM/chitosan can efficiently remove arsenic, reaching a capacity of 17.8 mg/g at pH 5.0, and it can also be regenerated by HNO3 for six cycles. On the other hand, copper-ion absorption was studied on PAA/alginate, which can remove with an adsorption capacity of 63.59 mg/g at pH 4.0, and the results indicate that it can also be regenerated by HNO3 for five cycles.

Polyacrylonitrile support impregnated with amine-functionalized graphitic carbon nitride/magnetite composite nanofibers towards enhanced arsenic remediation: A mechanistic approach. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 640:890-907.

Abstract
Recently, novel composite materials are rapidly being explored for water treatment applications. However, their physicochemical behavior and mechanistic investigations are still a mystery. Therefore, our key prospect is to develop a highly stable mixed-matrix adsorbent system using polyacrylonitrile (PAN) support impregnated with amine-functionalized graphitic carbon nitride/magnetite (gCN-NH2/Fe3O4) composite nanofibers (PAN/gCN-NH2/Fe3O4: PCNFe) by simple electrospinning techniques. Various instrumental techniques were used to explore the structural, physicochemical, and mechanical behavior of the synthesized nanofiber. The developed PCNFe with a specific surface area of 39.0 m2/g was found to be non-aggregated and to have outstanding water dispersibility, abundant surface functionality, greater hydrophilicity, superior magnetic property, and higher thermal & mechanical characteristics making it favorable for rapid As removal. Based on the experimental findings from the batch study, 97.0 and 99.0 % of arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)), respectively, could be adsorbed by utilizing0.02 g of adsorbent dosage within 60 min of contact time at pH 7 and 4, with an initial concentration of 10 mg/L. Adsorption of As(III) and As(V) followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models with an sorption capacities of 32.26 and 33.22 mg/g, respectively, at ambient temperature. The adsorption was endothermic and spontaneous, in accordance with the thermodynamic study. Furthermore, the addition of co-anions in a competitive environment did not affect As adsorption except for PO43-. Moreover, PCNFe preserves its adsorption efficiency above 80 % after five regeneration cycles. The combined results of FTIR and XPS after adsorption further support the adsorption mechanism. Also, the composite nanostructures retain their morphological and structural integrity after the adsorption process. The facile synthesis protocol, high As adsorption capacity, and enhanced mechanical integrity of PCNFe foreshadow its huge prospects for real wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The occurrence of pnictogens, namely phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony, can be observed in soils, sediments and mining areas, and their coexistence requires a multifaceted approach to the design of adsorption systems to maximize their simultaneous removal efficiency. Therefore, this work aims to provide an extensive literature review of P, As, and Sb adsorption in multicomponent systems and the statistical treatment of the quantitative results. Binary As-P systems have been the most studied in the literature. The oxidation state did not significantly affect the P influence in As adsorbed amount (p = 0.955), but this influence was correlated with the As:P ratio (p < 0.05). A few works have explored As-Sb and Sb-P systems, demonstrating that effective treatments for As do not always reveal a good removal efficiency of the other pnictogens. The Sb adsorbed amount was significantly less affected in the trivalent than in the pentavalent state in both As-Sb and Sb-P systems (p < 0.05). Most of the interactions were competitive, with a few studies reporting synergistic effects for Sb due to the presence of the other elements. Many topics have been identified as lacking in-depth research: ternary As-Sb-P systems, the effect of concentration ratios, pH, and redox conditions (namely those that lead to trivalent species' prevalence), the surface interactions with materials other than iron oxides, and the influence of other aqueous components. This review provides a first step in gathering the relevant literature and approaching the study of adsorption treatment methodology as a complex subject involving many factors.

Membrane enhancements after the inclusion of many nanomaterials, including nanoparticles (NPs), two-dimensional (2-D) layer materials, nanofibers, nanosheets, and other nanocomposite structural materials, are discussed in this review. Furthermore, the applications of these membranes with nanomaterials in water treatment applications, that are vast in number, are highlighted. The goal is to demonstrate the significance of nanomaterials in the membrane industry for water treatment applications. It was found that nanomaterials and nanotechnology offer great potential for the advancement of sustainable water and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Chitosan is a biopolymer originating from renewable resources, with great properties which make it an attractive candidate for plenty of applications of contemporary interest. By manufacturing chitosan into nanofibers using the electrospinning method, its potential is amplified due to the enhancement of the active surface and the low preparation cost. Many attempts were made with the aim of preparing chitosan-based nanofibers with controlled morphology targeting their use for tissue engineering, wound healing, food packaging, drug delivery, air and water purification filters. This was a challenging task, which resulted in a high amount of data, sometimes with apparent contradictory results. In this light, the goal of the paper is to present the main routes reported in the literature for chitosan electrospinning, stressing the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. Special emphasis is placed on the influence of various electrospinning parameters on the morphological characteristics of the fibers and their suitability for distinct applications.

Abstract
We determined the molecular and packing structure of a chitosan–ZnCl2 complex by X-ray diffraction and linked-atom least-squares. Eight D-glucosamine residues—composed of four chitosan chains with two-fold helical symmetry, and four ZnCl2 molecules—were packed in a rectangular unit cell with dimensions a = 1.1677 nm, b = 1.7991 nm, and c = 1.0307 nm (where c is the fiber axis). We performed exhaustive structure searches by examining all of the possible chain packing modes. We also comprehensively searched the positions and spatial orientations of the ZnCl2 molecules. Chitosan chains of antiparallel polarity formed zigzag-shaped chain sheets, where N2···O6, N2···N2, and O6···O6 intermolecular hydrogen bonds connected the neighboring chains. We further refined the packing positions of the ZnCl2 molecules by theoretical calculations of the crystal models, which suggested a possible coordination scheme of Zn(II) with an O6 atom.

Abstract
The development of efficient strategies for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions is rapidly demanded as these contaminants are very toxic and carcinogenic and show detrimental effects on the living creatures. The main focus of the current study is on the preparation and assessment of electrospun adsorptive nanofiber membranes for the removal of toxic Ni(II) and Cu(II) from wastewater in the ultrafiltration process. Hydrothermally synthesized titanate nanotubes (TNT) was modified with thiol functional groups and then directly incorporated to the polyvinyl chloride nanofiber matrices via electrospinning process to fabricate an adsorptive membrane. The as-prepared electrospun nanofiber membranes and the nanoadsorbents were characterized with respect to the physiochemical properties, surface structure and morphology, applying XPS, FTIR, FESEM, EDX and TEM analysis and then, the membranes were evaluated in terms of the removal of the heavy metal ions in a continuous ultrafiltration mode. In adsorptive filtration of the metal ions, the effective factors including nanoadsorbents loading (0.5-1.5 wt%), initial metal ion concentration (60-150 mg/L), feed temperature (~25 °C-45 °C), presence of competing ion and reusability were investigated in the UF system where the membranes containing 1.5 wt% thiol-modified TNT and virgin TNT adsorbents demonstrated excellent removal efficiency compared to the other membranes. The Cu(II) and Ni(II) removal efficiency of the membrane containing 1.5 wt% functionalized TNT was 90% and 86.7%, respectively which was the highest ones. As was expected and due to the uniform dispersion and less aggregation of the modified TNT adsorbents on the large surface area of the electrospun nanofibers, more adsorption capacity of the nanoparticles can be exploited. Moreover, the strong affinity of the thiol functional groups toward the metal cations, these membranes removed metal contaminants more efficiently. Besides, the Cu(II) removal efficiency of the fabricated membranes didn't show any drastic changes in the presence of the competing ions. Furthermore, acceptable performance was achieved for the prepared membranes even after four adsorption/regeneration cycles in the continuous UF experiments, demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of the prepared adsorptive nanofiber membranes for the removal of heavy metal ions.

Abstract
Indigenous hematite iron ore was chemically activated as a function of various hydrogen peroxide concentrations (0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2.0 M), activation time, and iron ore size. Adsorption potential was evaluated at various initial arsenic concentrations, contact time, adsorbent dose, and particle size. Maximum 95% removal efficiency was achieved at 600-μm size of iron ore, activated with 0.5 M concentration of hydrogen peroxide at 24 h of activation time. The experimental data were further evaluated through Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The maximum 14.46 mg/g of adsorption capacity was observed through Langmuir isotherm. Moreover, adsorption kinetics was evaluated using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetics, and the intra-particle diffusion model. The kinetics of arsenic adsorption was best described by using the pseudo-first-order kinetics with a kinetic rate of 0.621 min-1. The hematite iron ore before and after arsenic adsorption was characterized by XRD, SEM, and EDX.

Zhu F, Zheng YM, Zhang BG, Dai YR. A critical review on the electrospun nanofibrous membranes for the adsorption of heavy metals in water treatment. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 401:123608. [PMID: 33113718 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.123608] [Citation(s) in RCA: 95] [Impact Index Per Article: 31.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2020] [Revised: 07/26/2020] [Accepted: 07/27/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Electrospun nanofibrous membranes (ENFMs) have many superior advantages, such as large specific surface area, high porosity, easy modification, good flexibility, and easy separation for recycling, which are consider as excellent adsorbents. In this paper, the research progress in the adsorption of heavy metals in water treatment by ENFMs is reviewed. Three types of ENFMs, including organic polymer ENFMs, organic polymer/inorganic material composite ENFMs and inorganic ENFMs are summarized, and their adsorption capacities for heavy metals in water are compared. The adsorption selectivity and capacity of ENFMs for heavy metals are depended largely on the type and number of functional groups on the surface of membranes, and usually the more the functional groups, the higher the adsorption capacity. The adsorption mechanisms of ENFMs are also mainly determined by the type of functional groups on the membrane. At present, the main challenge is to achieve the mass production of high-quality nanofibers and their actual application in the treatment of heavy metal-containing wastewater. Therefore, more consideration should be focused on the improvement of stability, mechanical strength and reusability of ENFMs. This review may provide an insight for the development of ENFMs-based adsorbents for heavy metals separation and water purification in the future.

Abstract
This paper reports that, by simply blending two heterogeneous polysaccharide nanofibers, namely chitosan nanofiber (ChNF) and cellulose nanofiber (CNF), a ChNF–CNF composite was prepared, which exhibited improved mechanical properties and antioxidant activity. ChNF was isolated using the aqueous counter collision (ACC) method, while CNF was isolated using the combination of TEMPO oxidation and the ACC method, which resulted in smaller size of CNF than that of ChNF. The prepared composite was characterized in terms of morphologies, FT-IR, UV visible, thermal stability, mechanical properties, hygroscopic behaviors, and antioxidant activity. The composite was flexible enough to be bent without cracking. Better UV-light protection was shown at higher content of ChNF in the composite. The high ChNF content showed the highest antioxidant activity in the composite. It is the first time that a simple combination of ChNF–CNF composites fabrication showed good mechanical properties and antioxidant activities. In this study, the reinforcement effect of the composite was addressed. The ChNF–CNF composite is promising for active food packaging application.

Abstract
A series of alginate-derived porous graphitic carbon (PGC) wrapped iron-based organic frameworks (Fe-MIL-88B) composites were synthesized and checked their ability for the removal of arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) from water. Various amounts of PGC (5, 10, 20, and 50 wt/wt %) were utilized as a wrapping material for the development of composites with Fe-MIL-88B@PGCx% and optimized for As(III)/As(V) adsorption. The chemical functionalities, structure, morphology, porous properties and bonding nature of the adsorbents were analyzed using FTIR, PXRD, SEM, BET, and XPS, respectively. Fe-MIL-88B@PGC20% composite was explored to have maximum removal efficiency and fastest adsorption kinetics for As(III)/As(V), of all Fe-MIL-88B@PGCx% composites and pristine Fe-MIL-88B studied here. The developed adsorbents are highly pH dependent and selective in common co-existing anions except for F-, PO43- and humic acid. The Langmuir isotherm studies of As(III) and As(V) adsorption suggest maximum adsorption capacities of 1.6853 and 2.2636 mmol/g, at pH of 3.0 and 9.2, respectively. The XPS analysis of As(III)-sorbed Fe-MIL-88B@PGC20% composite reveals that a portion of As(III) has been oxidized into As(V) during the adsorption process. The continuous flow-bed column study indicates that bed volumes of 249.6 and 452.8 mL of As(III) and As(V) contaminated water was treated, respectively, also reduced the concentration of As(III)/As(V) to less than WHO standards (<10 μg/L).

Abstract
In this study, novel electrospun nanofibers (NFs) composed of organic polyvinylidine fluoride (PVDF) and inorganic Fe-Mn binary oxide (FMBO) nanoparticles were fabricated using an electrospinning technique for adsorptive decontamination of As(v) from polluted water. The NFs were prepared with doped solutions consisting of different weight ratios of PVDF/FMBO, in a NF matrix, ranging from 0 to 0.5. SEM, XRD, FTIR and TEM then characterized the NFs and FMBO particles. The XRD analysis indicated successful impregnation of FMBO nanoparticles in the NF matrix of the NFs investigated. An As(v) adsorption capacity as high as around 21.32 mg g-1 was obtained using the NF containing the highest amount of FMBO nanoparticles (designated as PVDF/FMBO 0.5). Furthermore, the adsorptive performance of the PVDF/FMBO 0.5 nanofiber could be easily regenerated using diluted alkaline solution (NaOH and NaOCl).

Abstract
In this work, chitosan/magnetite nanoparticles (ChM) were quickly synthesized according to our previous report based on co-precipitation reaction under ultrasound (US) irradiation. Besides ChM was in-depth structurally characterized, showing a crystalline phase corresponding to magnetite and presenting a spheric morphology, a "nanorod"-type morphology was also obtained after increasing reaction time for eight minutes. Successfully, both morphologies presented a nanoscale range with an average particle size of approximately 5-30 nm, providing a superparamagnetic behavior with saturation magnetization ranging from 44 to 57 emu·g-1. As ChM nanocomposites have shown great versatility considering their properties, we proposed a comparative study using three different amine-based nanoparticles, non-surface-modified and surface-modified, for removal of azo dyes from aqueous solutions. From nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm results, the surface-modified ChMs increased the specific surface area and pore size. Additionally, the adsorption of anionic azo dyes (reactive black 5 (RB5) and methyl orange (MO)) on nanocomposites surface was pH-dependent, where surface-modified samples presented a better response under pH 4 and non-modified one under pH 8. Indeed, adsorption capacity results also showed different adsorption mechanisms, molecular size effect and electrostatic attraction, for unmodified and modified ChMs, respectively. Herein, considering all results and nanocomposite-type structure, ChM nanoparticles seem to be a suitable potential alternative for conventional anionic dyes adsorbents, as well as both primary materials source, chitosan and magnetite, are costless and easily supplied.

Abstract
Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) functionalized by introduction of trimethylammonium chloride were investigated for the uptake of arsenate [As(V)] from aqueous solutions. The modified-CNF was characterized using Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS), argentometric titration, Boehr titration, zeta-potential, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourrier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET), and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). The modified-CNF was effective for As(V) removal from laboratory and field samples. The As(V) adsorption was rapid and equilibrium was attained within two hours. The kinetic data were adequately described by the pseudo-second-order kinetics model suggesting that As(V) adsorption onto modified-CNF involves electrostatic forces and bonds between As(V) and adsorption sites. The adsorption isotherm data were well correlated with model. The modified-CNF exhibited an As(V) adsorption capacity (qe) of approximately 25.5 mg g-1. Competitive adsorption between As(V) and anions including NO2-, NO3-, and SO42- was investigated and the results showed negligible influence on As(V) removal. However, PO43- presence slightly reduced As(V) adsorption. Thermodynamics study showed that the As(V) adsorption onto modified-CNF is temperature dependent and is spontaneous and exothermic. Overall, the results of this study demonstrated that modified-CNF offers a propitious alterative for As(V) removal from water.

Abstract
Fuller's earth spherical beads using chitosan as a binder were prepared for the removal of strontium ions from aqueous solution. The adsorbents were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which revealed the porous nature of the beads. The Brunauer⁻Emmett⁻Teller (BET) surface area of the beads was found to be 48.5 m²/g. The adsorption capacities of the beads were evaluated under both batch and dynamic conditions. The adsorption capacity was found to be ~29 mg/g of adsorbent at 298 K when the equilibrium concentration of strontium in the solution was 925 mg/L at pH 6.5. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data suggest that strontium uptake by the beads occurs mainly through an ion-exchange process. Kinetic data indicate that the sorption of strontium onto the beads follows anomalous diffusion. Thermodynamic data suggest that the ion-exchange of Sr2+ on the bead surface was feasible, spontaneous and endothermic in nature.

Abstract
A novel amine functionalized nonwoven cotton fabric (EDA-GMA-g-NCF) adsorbent material for As(V) adsorption was prepared by using plasma-initiated graft polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto nonwoven cotton fabric (NCF) and then its modification with ethylenediamine (EDA). The resultant nonwoven cotton fabric adsorbent was examined by using FT-IR, SEM, and XPS techniques. As(V) adsorption experiments were performed in batch mode as a function of pH, contact time, initial concentration, coexisting ions, ionic strength, and tap water applications. Ethylenediamine carrying nonwoven cotton fabric-based functional adsorbent showed efficient, rapid As(V) removal with high adsorption capacity. The experimental data shows that adsorption mechanism fits to the Langmuir isotherm, and adsorption kinetic follows a pseudo-second-order model. Between pH 2-8 range, nonwoven cotton fabric adsorbent is effective at pH 3 for As(V) adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity of the nonwoven cotton fabric for As(V) was 217.39 mg/g. The adsorbent could be easily regenerated at least ten cycles with 3% HNO3 solution. EDA-GMA-g-NCF was also efficient for tap water applications with high percent As(V) removal. Thermodynamic parameters show that the As(V) adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic. Graphical abstract Preparation of cotton fabric adsorbent and As(V) treatment process.

Abstract
A biopolymer of polylactic acid (PLLA)/polypropylene carbonate (PPC)/poly (3-hydroxybutrate) (PHB)/triethyl citrate (TEC) blends was prepared by the solution-casting method at different proportions. The thermal characteristics were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG). PHB and TEC were added to improve the interfacial adhesion, crystallization behavior, and mechanical properties of the immiscible blend from PLLA and PPC (20%). The addition of more than 20% of PPC as an amorphous part hindered the crystallization of PLLA. PPC, PHB, and TEC also interacted with the PLLA matrix, which reduced the glass transition temperature (Tg), the cold crystallization temperature (Tcc), and the melting point (Tm) to about 53, 57 and 15 °C, respectively. The Tg shifted from 60 to 7 °C; therefore, the elongation at break improved from 6% (pure PLLA) to 285% (PLLA blends). In this article, biomembranes of PLLA with additives were developed and made by an electrospinning process. The new generation from biopolymer membranes can be used to absorb suspended pollutants in the water, which helps in the purification of drinking water in the household.

Abstract
Hybrid poly(ether sulfones) (PES)-TiO2 electrospun mats are used as selective filters to remove lead and zinc ions from water. Presence of TiO2 is functional to trigger fiber's surface charge that allows for better performances in terms of ionic adsorption with respect to bare PES mats. Temperature increase promotes a speed up of ion removal. Ability of electrospun mats to retain adsorbed ions is proven by washing procedures, which confirm the lack of released Pb2+ in solution, even after sonication. To detect presence of metal ions in aqueous solutions, water-soluble porphyrins are used as chemosensors, which are able to provide fast, in-field, and real-time analysis. In particular, cationic H2T4 metalation, occurring both in solution or at transparent glass surface, allows for a straightforward spectrophotometric (UV-vis) detection of metal ions in solution.
