Abstract
Three coordination polymers based on quaternary-ammonium-modified isophthalic acid, namely, catena-poly[[[aqua-μ2-bromido-di-μ3-hydroxido-methanoldinitratotetracopper(II)]-bis{μ4-5-[2-(tripropylazaniumyl)ethoxy]benzene-1,3-dicarboxylato}] nitrate], {[Cu4Br(C19H28NO5)2(NO3)2(OH)2(CH4O)(H2O)]NO3}n, 1, poly[μ3-bromido-μ2-bromido-bromido-μ3-hydroxido-{μ4-5-[2-(tripropylazaniumyl)ethoxy]benzene-1,3-dicarboxylato}tricopper(II)], [Cu3Br3(C19H28NO5)(OH)]n, 2, and poly[bromido{μ3-5-[2-(tripropylazaniumyl)ethoxy]benzene-1,3-dicarboxylato}zinc(II)], [ZnBr(C19H28NO5)]n, 3, were obtained by solvothermal reactions. Coordination polymer (CP) 1 contains tetranuclear Cu4 units, in which the four Cu atoms are linked by two μ3-OH- groups into a Cu4(OH)2 cluster, which are in turn linked by 5-[2-(tripropylazaniumyl)ethoxy]benzene-1,3-dicarboxylate (cpa-) ligands into a chain structure. CP 2 also contains a tetranuclear Cu4(OH)2 cluster and these are linked with CuBr3 units into chains. The chains are then connected by cpa- ligands into a two-dimensional layered structure. CP 3 contains a two-dimensional layer structure built by binuclear Zn2 units and cpa- ligands. The Br- counter-anions of the quaternary ammonium groups all take part in the construction of the polymeric networks.

Abstract
Chromium (VI) in the form of chromate anions that have toxic properties needs to be overcome. This study aims to reinforce cationic sorbent quaternary amine-modified silica with magnetite (QAMS-Fe3O4) to adsorb chromate ions. QAMS prepared by reflux methylation ammine modified silica (AMS) obtained from destruction silicate from rice husk ash followed by the addition of 3-APTMS. Characterization QAMS-Fe3O4 by FT-IR showed successfully of methylation process indicated by disappearing absorbance at 1388 cm-1, and emerging absorbance at 2939 cm-1 in QAMS and QAMS-Fe3O4 indicated a transformation of N-H from -NH2 group to [-N+(CH3)3]. XRD analysis denotes 2θ = 30.15°, 35.53°, 43.12°, 57.22°, and 62.90° (JCPDS No. 00-033-0664) fathomed as a characteristic peak of magnetite. SEM-EDX reveals the homogenous topological spherical form with an average particle size 0.006 µm that is dominated by Si element (52.81%) with magnetic moment value = 34.1 emu/g. The stability test shows that this material stable in an acid condition. The adsorption of chromate ions was conducted by the SPA method. Optimal pH obtained by pH range 4-7 with more than 90% adsorbed chromate ions. Variation of increasing series flow rate from 0.05 to 1.5 mL min-1 resulted in decreased adsorbed chromate ions. The use of SPA methods offered simpler and easier handling than the batch method without overriding the adsorption process effectiveness.

Abstract
Metal contamination of water bodies from industrial effluents presents a global threat to the aquatic ecosystem. To address this challenge, metal sequestration via adsorption onto solid media has been explored extensively. However, existing sorbent systems typically involve energy-intensive syntheses and are applicable to a limited range of metals. Herein, a sorbent system derived from physically cross-linked polyphenolic networks using tannic acid and ZrIV ions has been explored for high-affinity, broad-spectrum metal sequestration. The network formation step (gelation) of the sorbent is complete within 3 min and requires no special apparatus. The key to this system design is the formation of a highly stable coordination network with an optimized metal-ligand ratio (1.2:1), affording access to a major fraction of the chelating sites in tannic acid for capturing diverse metal ions. This system is stable over a pH range of 1-9, thermally stable up to ∼200 °C, and exhibits a negative surface charge (at pH 5). The sorbent system effectively sequesters 28 metals in single- and multielement model wastes, with removal efficiencies exceeding 99%. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that this system can be processed as membrane coatings, thin films, or wet gels to capture metal ions and that both the sorbent and captured metal ions can be regenerated or directly used as composite catalysts.

Abstract
Pectin-g-(sodium acrylate-co-3-(N-isopropylacrylamido) sodium propanoate-co-N-isopropylacrylamide) interpenetrating polymer networks (PANIPNs) were synthesized through systematic multistage optimization of equilibrium swelling ratio by response surface methodology for individual and/or synergistic removal(s) of cationic safranine (SF), anionic methyl orange, and M(II/III), such as Hg(II), Cd(II), and Cr(III). The relative effects of copolymer compositions on ligand-selective adsorption, strong/weak H-bonds, thermal stabilities, crystallinity, surface properties, swelling abilities, cross-link densities, network parameters, hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics, and adsorption capacities (ACs) were measured through extensive microstructural analyses of adsorbed and/or unadsorbed PANIPN41 and PANIPN21 bearing sodium acrylate and N-isopropylacrylamide (SA/NIPAm) in 4:1 and 2:1 ratios, respectively, using Fourier transform infrared, 1H and 13C NMR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, along with measuring lower critical solution temperature, % gel content (% GC), % -COOH, and pHPZC. Extensive UV-vis measurements were carried out at varying copolymer compositions, initial pH (pHi), and dyes, interpreted considering monomer-dimer and azonium-ammonium equilibrium of dye, dye-dye complexation, ligand-selective PANIPNs-dye adduct formation, π-π stacking interactions, and orientation effect of dyes. Thermodynamically feasible chemisorption processes showed the maximum ACs of 127.61, 96.78, 103.36, and 99.41 mg g-1 for SF, Hg(II), Cd(II), and Cr(III), respectively, under optimum conditions.

Abstract
To evaluate the role of atmospheric heterogeneous reactions on the ice nucleation ability of airborne dust particles, we investigated the systematic study of ice nucleation microphysics with a suite of atmospherically relevant metals (10), halides (4), and oxyhalides (2). Within a minute, a kaolin-iron oxide composite (KaFe) showed efficient reactions with aqueous mercury salts. Among the different mercury salts tested, only HgCl2 reacting with KaFe generated HgKaFe, a highly efficient ice nucleating particle (HEIN). When added to water, HgKaFe caused water to freeze at much warmer temperatures, within a narrow range of -6.6 to -4.7 °C. Using a suite of optical spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and microscopy techniques, we performed various experiments to decipher the physical and chemical properties of surface and bulk. KaFe was identified as a mixture of different iron oxides, namely, goethite, hematite, magnetite, and ε-Fe2O3, with kaolin. In HgKaFe, HgCl2 was reduced to Hg2Cl2 and iron was predominantly in maghemite form. Reduction of Fe2+ by NaBH4, followed by aerial oxidation, helped KaFe to be an exact precursor for the synthesis of HEIN HgKaFe. Kaolin served as a template for synthesizing iron oxide, opposing unwanted aggregation. No other metal or metal halide was found to have more efficient nucleating particles than HgCl2 with KaFe composite. The chelation of Hg(II) hindered the formation of HEIN. This study is useful for investigating the role of morphology and how inorganic chemical reactions on the surface of dust change morphology and thus ice nucleation activity. The understanding of the fundamentals of what makes a particle to be a good ice nucleating particle is valuable to further understand and predict the amount and types of atmospheric ice nucleating particles.

Abstract
Grafting of guar gum (GG) and in situ strategic attachment of acrylamidosodiumpropanoate (ASP) via solution polymerization of acrylamide (AM) and sodium acrylate (SA) resulted in the synthesis of a sustainable GG-g-(AM-co-SA-co-ASP)/GGAMSAASP interpenetrating polymer network (IPN)-based smart superadsorbent with excellent physicochemical properties and reusability, through systematic optimization by response surface methodology (RSM) for removal of methyl violet (MV) and/or Hg(II). The relative effects of SA/AM ratios, in situ allocation of ASP, grafting of GG into the AMSAASP terpolymer, ligand-selective superadsorption mechanism, and relative microstructural changes in individually/synergistically-adsorbed MV-/Hg(II)-/Hg(II)-MV-GGAMSAASPs were determined by extensive analyses using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), and O 1s-/N 1s-/C 1s-/Hg 4f7/2,5/2-X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy and were supported by % gel content, pHPZC, and % graft ratio. The ionic/covalent-bonding, monodentate, bidentate bridging, and bidentate chelating coordination between GGAMSAASPs and Hg(II), and MV+-Hg(II) bonding were rationalized by FTIR, UV-vis, fitment of kinetics data to the pseudo-second-order model, and thermodynamic parameters. The maximum adsorption capacities of 49.12 and 53.28 mg g-1 were determined for Hg(II) and MV, respectively, under optimized conditions.

Abstract
Fe3O4 nanoparticle with magnetic properties and nanoscale features has provoked wide research interest and great potential application. Herein, a modified Stober and template-removing method was adopted to prepare magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), comprising a Fe3O4 core and a mesoporous silica shell. The shell was functionalized by amino-groups with tunable removal efficiency for aqueous heavy metals ions. Structural and magnetic properties were characterized by XRD, SEM, FT-IR, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and BET (Brunauer-Emmertt-Teller) techniques. Also, the adsorbing efficiency for heavy metal ions was measured by UV-vis spectrometry. Results revealed that the pure magnetite is cubic with a side length of 40 - 70nm, while the silica-coated magnetite is spherical with a diameter of 220-260nm. The mesoporous silica shell has an average pore size of 2.6nm and a high surface area of 675m2·g-1, which lead to a large adsorption capacity for Fe3+ (up to 20.66mg of Fe per g of adsorbent). Moreover, rapid magnetic separation and regeneration of as-prepared adsorbent were achieved conveniently. The distinctive structure and the heavy metal ions removal property of magnetic nanocomposites reflect their prospective application in water treatment.

Abstract
A novel magnetic bio-material (MCIT) was synthesized via coupling reaction and functional modification after load of Fe3O4 nano-particle on the puckered surface of cyclosorus interruptus (CI). The synthesized material was characterized by fourier transform infrared (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD). The influence factors like pH, temperatures, contact time, initial concentration and cycle times on the adsorption of Hg (II) in aqueous solution were studied. Adsorption isotherm, kinetics, selectivity and mechanism were investigated. The results indicated that the isotherm model well agreed with monolayer adsorption model. The adsorption process could be divided into three steps, which included a fast step controlled by chemical adsorption, a slow step limited by intraparticle diffusion and an equilibrium stage. The maximum adsorption capacity of Hg (II) was 385.3mg/g at 318K. MCIT possessed high reusability (retained 93% after five successive cycles) and sharply magnetic nature (9.5emu/g), which endowed it easy and efficient separation from aqueous solution.

Abstract
In this work, sulfur-functionalized ordered mesoporous carbons were synthesized by activating the soft-templated mesoporous carbons with sulfur bearing salts that simultaneously enhanced the surface area and introduced sulfur functionalities onto the parent carbon surface. XPS analysis showed that sulfur content within the mesoporous carbons were between 8.2% and 12.9%. The sulfur functionalities include C-S, C═S, -COS, and SOx. SEM images confirmed the ordered mesoporosity within the material. The BET surface areas of the sulfur-functionalized ordered mesoporous carbons range from 837 to 2865 m2/g with total pore volume of 0.71-2.3 cm3/g. The carbon with highest sulfur functionality was examined for aqueous phase adsorption of mercury (as HgCl2), lead (as Pb(NO3)2), cadmium (as CdCl2), and nickel (as NiCl2) ions in both noncompetitive and competitive mode. Under noncompetitive mode and at a pH greater than 7.0 the affinity of sulfur-functionalized carbons toward heavy metals were in the order of Hg > Pb > Cd > Ni. At lower pH, the adsorbent switched its affinity between Pb and Cd. In the noncompetitive mode, Hg and Pb adsorption showed a strong pH dependency whereas Cd and Ni adsorption did not demonstrate a significant influence of pH. The distribution coefficient for noncompetitive adsorption was in the range of 2448-4000 mL/g for Hg, 290-1990 mL/g for Pb, 550-560 mL/g for Cd, and 115-147 for Ni. The kinetics of adsorption suggested a pseudo-second-order model fits better than other models for all the metals. XPS analysis of metal-adsorption carbons suggested that 7-8% of the adsorbed Hg was converted to HgSO4, 14% and 2% of Pb was converted to PbSO4 and PbS/PbO, respectively, and 5% Cd was converted to CdSO4. Ni was below the detection limit for XPS. Overall results suggested these carbon materials might be useful for the separation of heavy metals.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2016; 169:8-17. [PMID: 26720327 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2015.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 91] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2015] [Revised: 12/05/2015] [Accepted: 12/07/2015] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
Functionalized SBA-15 mesoporous silica particles, bearing N-propylsalicylaldimine and ethylenediaminepropylesalicylaldimine Schiff base ligands, abbreviated as SBA/SA and SBA/EnSA respectively, were prepared and characterized by FT-IR, elemental analysis, TGA, XRD, TEM and SEM techniques. The potentials of these adsorbents were examined by using them in solid phase extraction of U(VI) ions from water samples. It is shown that 20 mg of SBA/SA or SBA/EnSA can remove rapidly (∼15 min) and quantitatively uranium(VI) ions from 10 to 200 mL of water solutions (pH 4) containing 0.2 mg of the ions, at 25 °C. The adsorbed ions were stripped by 1 mL of dilute nitric acid solution (0.1 mol L(-1)). It means that the studied adsorbents are able to be used for removal and concentration of uranyl ions. This allowed achieving to a concentration factor of 200 for uranyl ions. The variation in the ionic strength in the range 0-1 mol L(-1) did not affect the extraction efficiencies of the adsorbents. The adsorbents showed selective separation of uranyl ions from Cd(2+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Mn(2+), Cr(3+), Ba(2+), Fe(3+) and Eu(3+) ions. Thermodynamic investigations revealed that the adsorption of uranyl ions by the adsorbents was spontaneous and endothermic. The Langmuir model described suitably the adsorption isotherms. This model determined the maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbents SBA/SA and SBA/EnSA as 54 and 105.3 mg uranyl/g adsorbent, respectively. The kinetics of the processes was interpreted by using Pseudo-second-order model.

Abstract
Due to natural and production activities, mercury contamination has become one of the major environmental problems over the world. Mercury contamination is a serious threat to human health. Among the existing technologies available for mercury pollution control, the adsorption process can get excellent separation effects and has been further studied. This review is attempted to cover a wide range of adsorbents that were developed for the removal of mercury from the year 2011. Various adsorbents, including the latest adsorbents, are presented along with highlighting and discussing the key advancements on their preparation, modification technologies, and strategies. By comparing their adsorption capacities, it is evident from the literature survey that some adsorbents have shown excellent potential for the removal of mercury. However, there is still a need to develop novel, efficient adsorbents with low cost, high stability, and easy production and manufacture for practical utility.

Abstract
A functionalizable organosiliceous hybrid magnetic material was facilely constructed by surface polymerization of octavinyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) on the Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The resultant Fe3O4@POSS was identified as a mesoporous architecture with an average particle diameter of 20 nm and high specific surface area up to 653.59 m(2) g(-1). After it was tethered with an organic chain containing dithiol via thiol-ene addition reaction, the ultimate material (Fe3O4@POSS-SH) still have moderate specific area (224.20 m(2) g(-1)) with almost identical porous morphology. It turns out to be a convenient, efficient single adsorbent for simultaneous elimination of inorganic heavy metal ions and organic dyes in simulate multicomponent wastewater at ambient temperature. The Fe3O4@POSS-SH nanoparticles can be readily withdrawn from aqueous solutions within a few seconds under moderate magnetic field and exhibit good stability in strong acid and alkaline aqueous matrices. Contaminants-loaded Fe3O4@POSS-SH can be easily regenerated with either methanol-acetic acid (for organic dyes) or hydrochloric acid (for heavy metal ions) under ultrasonication. The renewed one keeps appreciable adsorption capability toward both heavy metal ions and organic dyes, the removal rate for any of the pollutants exceeds 92% to simulate wastewater with multiple pollutants after repeated use for 5 cycles. Beyond the environmental remediation function, thanks to the pendant vinyl groups, the Fe3O4@POSS derived materials rationally integrating distinct or versatile functions could be envisaged and consequently a wide variety of applications may emerge.

Abstract
The synthesis of a reusable, magnetically switchable nanocomposite microparticle, which can be modified to selectively extract and recover Hg(II) or Cu(II) from water, is reported. Superparamagnetic iron oxide (magnetite) nanoparticles act as the magnetic component in this system, and these nanoparticles were synthesized in a continuous way, allowing their large-scale production. A new process was used to create a silica matrix, confining the magnetite nanoparticles using a cheap silica source [sodium silicate (water glass)]. This results in a well-defined, filigree micrometer-sized nanocomposite via a fast, simple, inexpensive, and upscalable process. Hence, because of the ideal size of the resulting microparticles and their comparably large magnetization, particle extraction from fluids by low-cost magnets is achieved.

Abstract
The surfaces of Zn-doped biomagnetite nanostructured particles were functionalized with (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) and used as a high-capacity and collectable adsorbent for the removal of Hg(II) from water. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the attachment of MPTMS on the particle surface. The crystallite size of the Zn-doped biomagnetite was ∼17 nm, and the thickness of the MPTMS coating was ∼5 nm. Scanning transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering analyses revealed that the particles formed aggregates in aqueous solution with an average hydrodynamic size of 826 ± 32 nm. Elemental analyses indicate that the chemical composition of the biomagnetite is Zn(0.46)Fe(2.54)O(4), and the loading of sulfur is 3.6 mmol/g. The MPTMS-modified biomagnetite has a calculated saturation magnetization of 37.9 emu/g and can be separated from water within a minute using a magnet. Sorption of Hg(II) to the nanostructured particles was much faster than other commercial sorbents, and the Hg(II) sorption isotherm in an industrial wastewater follows the Langmuir model with a maximum capacity of ∼416 mg/g, indicating two -SH groups bonded to one Hg. This new Hg(II) sorbent was stable in a range of solutions, from contaminated water to 0.5 M acid solutions, with low leaching of Fe, Zn, Si, and S (<10%).

Abstract
Diatom silica microparticles were chemically modified with self-assembled monolayers of 3-mercaptopropyl-trimethoxysilane (MPTMS), 3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane (APTES) and n-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane (AEAPTMS), and their application for the adsorption of mercury ions (Hg(II)) is demonstrated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses revealed that the functional groups (-SH or -NH2) were successfully grafted onto the diatom silica surface. The kinetics and efficiency of Hg(II) adsorption were markedly improved by the chemical functionalization of diatom microparticles. The relationship among the type of functional groups, pH and adsorption efficiency of mercury ions was established. The Hg(II) adsorption reached equilibrium within 60 min with maximum adsorption capacities of 185.2, 131.7 and 169.5 mg g-1 for particles functionalized with MPTMS, APTES and AEAPTMS, respectively. The adsorption behavior followed a pseudo-second-order reaction model and Langmuirian isotherm. These results show that mercapto- or amino-functionalized diatom microparticles are promising natural, cost-effective and environmentally benign adsorbents suitable for the removal of mercury ions from aqueous solutions.
