Abstract
Due to the environmental pollution issues and the supply of drinking/clean water, removal of both inorganic and organic (particularly dyes, nitroarenes, and heavy metals) to non-dangerous products and useful compounds are very important transformations. The deployment of sustainable and eco-friendly nanomaterials with exceptional structural and unique features such as high efficiency and stability/recyclability, high surface/volume ratio, low-cost production routes has become a priority; nonetheless, numerous significant challenges/restrictions still remained unresolved. The immobilization of green synthesized metal nanoparticles (NPs) on the natural materials and biowaste generated templates have been analyzed widely as a greener approach due to their environmentally friendly preparation methods, earth-abundance, cost-effectiveness with low energy consumption, biocompatibility, as well as adjustability in various cases of biomolecules as bioreducing agents. Natural and biowaste materials are widely considered as important sources to fabricate greener and biosynthesized types of metal, metal oxide, and metal sulfide nanomaterials using plant extracts. Integrating green synthesized nanoparticles with various biotemplates offers new practical composites for mitigating environmental challenges. In this review, degradation of dyes, reduction of toxic nitrophenols, absorption of heavy metals, and other hazardous/toxic environmental pollutants from contaminated water bodies using biowaste- and nature-derived nanomaterials are highlighted.

Monodispersed core/shell nanospheres of ZnS/NiO with enhanced H 2 generation and quantum efficiency at versatile photocatalytic conditions. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 413:125359. [PMID: 33609871 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.125359] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2020] [Revised: 01/31/2021] [Accepted: 02/05/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
This investigation is first to elucidate the synthesis of mono-dispersed ZnS/NiO-core/shell nanostructures with a uniform thin layer of NiO-shell on the ZnS-nanospheres as a core under controlled thermal treatments. NiO-shell thickness varied to 8.2, 12.4, 18.2, and 24.2 nm, while the ZnS-core diameter remained stable about 96 ± 6 nm. The crystalline phase and core/shell structure of the materials were confirmed using XRD and HRTEM techniques, respectively. Optical properties through UV-vis spectroscopy analysis revealed the manifestation of red-shift in the absorption spectrum of core/shell materials, while the XPS analysis of elements elucidated their stable oxidation states in ZnS/NiO core/shell structure. The optimized ZnS/NiO-core/shell showed 1.42 times higher H2 generation (162.1 mmol h-1 g-1cat) than the pristine ZnS-core (113.2 mmol h-1 g-1cat), and 64.5 times higher than the pristine NiO-shell (2.5 mmol h-1 g-1cat). The quantum efficiency at wavelengths of 420, 365 nm, and 1.5 G air mass filters was found to be 13.5%, 25.0%, and 45.3%, respectively. Water splitting experiments was also performed without addition of any additives, which showed enhanced H2 gas evolution of 1.6 mmol h-1 g-1cat under the sunlight illumination. Photoelectrochemical measurements revealed the stable photocurrent density and minimized charge recombination in the system. The performed recyclability and reusability tests for five recycles demonstrated the excellent stability of the developed photocatalysts.

Abstract
An increasing concern for natural resources preservation and environmental safety is the removal of heavy metals from contaminated water. It is essential to develop simple procedures that use ecofriendly materials with high removal capacities. In this context, we have synthesized a new hybrid material in which eggshell membranes (ESMs) act as nucleation sites for magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) precipitation in the presence of an external magnetic field. As a result, ESM was transformed into a magnetic biomaterial (MESM) in order to combine the Pb adsorption abilities of both MNPs and ESM and to facilitate collection of the bioadsorbant using an external magnetic field. This green co-precipitation method produced long strands of bead-like 50 nm superparamagnetic MNPs decorating the ESM fibers. When MESM were incubated in Pb(NO3)2 solutions, the hybrid material displayed a 2.5-fold increase in binding constant with respect to that of ESM alone, and a 10-fold increased capacity to remove Pb ions from aqueous solution. The manufactured MESMs present a maximum loading capacity of 0.066 ± 0.009 mg Pb/mg MNPs at 25 °C, which is increased up to 0.15 ± 0.05 mg Pb/mg MNPs at 45 °C. Moreover, the MESM system is very stable, since incubation in 1% HCl solution resulted in rapid Pb desorption, while MNP release from the MESM during the same period was negligible. Altogether, these results suggest that MESM could be utilized as an efficient nanoremediation agent for separation/removal of heavy metal ions or other charged pollutants from contaminated waters, with facile recovery for recycling.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to remove heavy metals from wastewater through the biosorption method with modified biomass as an effective sorbent and to prepare metal/biomass composites with the same modified biomass as a direct template. Eggshell membrane (ESM) was selected and modified to adsorb heavy metals. Adsorption of metal ions on the modified ESM (MESM) might be attributed to electrostatic interaction, ion exchange and coordination effect with chelating ligands containing N and S on the surface of the MESM. The pH of the solution was a key factor affecting the adsorption. The Cu-Ag/MESM composites with uniform Cu-Ag NPs were prepared with MESM as matrices, and with Cu2+ and Ag+ adsorbed as metal sources. The Cu-Ag/MESM showed excellent catalytic performance in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol in the aqueous phase. Because of the high stability of the Cu-Ag NPs supported on the macro-dimension supporter, Cu-Ag/MESM can be easily separated after the catalytic reaction and recycled.
