Abstract
Synthetic dyes play a crucial role in our daily lives, especially in clothing, leather accessories, and furniture manufacturing. Unfortunately, these potentially carcinogenic substances are significantly impacting our water systems due to their widespread use. Dyes from various sources pose a serious environmental threat owing to their persistence and toxicity. Regulations underscore the urgency in addressing this problem. In response to this challenge, metal oxide nanoparticles such as titanium dioxide (TiO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), and iron oxide (Fe3O4) have emerged as intriguing options for dye degradation due to their unique characteristics and production methods. This paper aims to explore the types of nanoparticles suitable for dye degradation, various synthesis methods, and the properties of nanoparticles. The study elaborates on the photocatalytic and adsorption-desorption activities of metal oxide nanoparticles, elucidating their role in dye degradation and their application potential. Factors influencing degradation, including nanoparticle properties and environmental conditions, are discussed. Furthermore, the paper provides relevant case studies, practical applications in water treatment, and effluent treatment specifically in the textile sector. Challenges such as agglomeration, toxicity concerns, and cost-effectiveness are acknowledged. Future advancements in nanomaterial synthesis, their integration with other materials, and their impact on environmental regulations are potential areas for development. In conclusion, metal oxide nanoparticles possess immense potential in reducing dye pollution, and further research and development are essential to define their role in long-term environmental management.

Abstract
Polyether sulfone (PES)-based thin-film nanofiltration (TFN) membranes embedded with ferric hydroxide (FeIII(OH)x) functionalized graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles were fabricated through interfacial polymerization for a generalized application in removal of a plethora of anionic and toxic water contaminants. Following the most relevant characterization, the newly synthesized membranes were fitted in a novel flat sheet cross-flow module, for experimental investigation on purification of live contaminated groundwater collected from different affected areas. The separation performances of the membranes in the flat sheet cross-flow module demonstrated that GOF membranes had higher selectivity for monovalent and divalent salt rejections than pristine GO membranes. Furthermore, both membranes were tested for simultaneously removing widely occurring hazardous ions of heavy metals and metalloids in groundwater, such as arsenic, selenium, chromium, and fluoride. Compared to the pristine GO and the reported membranes in the literature, the GOF membrane exhibited remarkable performance in terms of rejection efficiency (Cr (VI): 97.2%, Se (IV): 96.6%, As(V): 96.3%, F- 88.4%) and sustained flux of 184 LMH (Lm-2 h-1) at an optimum transmembrane pressure of 16 bar. The investigated membrane module equipped with the GOF membrane proved to be a low-cost system with higher anionic rejection and sustained high flux at a comprehensive pH range, as evident over long hours of study vis-à-vis reported systems.

Abstract
Interfacial evaporation is the technology of localizing heat energy at the air-water interface and is used for getting potable water from salty or seawater effectively. In this work, we introduce a novel interfacial evaporator by blending different weight ratios of waste sawdust (1 g, 2 g, 3 g and 4 g) with bisphenol-A epoxy resin (LY556) and triethyltetramine hardener (HY951). The fabricated epoxy hardener sawdust (EHS) composite material was subjected to various characterizations for the possibility of using it in solar steam generation. Consequently, EHS displayed high light absorption, amorphous structure, functional groups, and large number of pores. The main objective of the study was to investigate interfacial solar steam generation with and without interfacial evaporators (EHS-1g, EHS-2g, EHS-3g, and EHS-4g) under indoor conditions. The maximum mass loss of water, evaporation rate and evaporation efficiency were found to be 4.5 g, 1.398 kg m-2 h-1, and 92.99%, respectively, for the EHS-4g evaporator. The salinity of the distilled condensed water was measured and was below the WHO standards. The results are due to (i) the large number of cross-linked porous structures used to permeate water at the evaporative surface by capillary action, (ii) low thermal conductivity of the composite that offers an efficient broad and strong light absorption, and (iii) existence of a larger hydraulic diameter and small tortuosity of pores, which reduces the salt ion penetration distance and dispatch back to bulk water.

Abstract
The optimization of fluoride removal from aqueous media was studied over the mesoporous titania-alumina composites using Taguchi method-based L25 orthogonal array experimental design. The chemical structure, surface chemistry, and morphology of as-prepared composite adsorbents were studied utilizing various analytical methods. The findings of the characterization demonstrated that the produced composites have high textural qualities, which are conducive to enhanced fluoride adsorption. The optimum conditions for maximum percentage removal of fluoride from aqueous solution were found as adsorbent type as TA75, adsorbent dose 4 g L-1 , initial concentration of fluoride 40 ppm, solution pH 3 with a treatment time of 60 min. Under the optimum conditions, 98% of fluoride adsorption was achieved. Analysis of variance revealed that the solution pH followed by the adsorbent dose was the most significant for fluoride adsorption. The Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model fit the adsorption data well, and the TA75 adsorbent had a maximum Langmuir fluoride adsorption capacity of 34.48 mg g-1 at pH = 3. The thermodynamic information suggests that the adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic under the given operating conditions. The synergic combination of Ti-Al nanoparticles demonstrated a high percentage removal of fluoride under the optimized operating conditions. PRACTITIONER POINTS: The Taguchi method-based design of the experimental approach was implemented in the fluoride adsorption process. Mesoporous titania-alumina composites with 0 to 100 wt.% of alumina in titania were prepared and applied to remove fluoride from an aqueous solution. Solution pH was the most influential parameter for the fluoride adsorption process, while the synergistic combination of 75 wt.% alumina in titania showed the maximum adsorption capacity.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have attracted significant attention as adsorbents for the removal of anions from wastewater. However, it is challenging to develop a simple, economical, and environmentally friendly method for fabricating efficient LDH adsorbents. In this paper, we present an alternative approach for preparing a superb NiFe LDH adsorbent via a single-step topochemical synthesis method based on density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The NiFe LDH adsorbent [Ni0.75Fe0.25(OH)2]·(CO3)0.125·0.25H2O was obtained via the topotactic transformation of an oxide precursor (NaNi0.75Fe0.25O2), which was prepared by utilizing the high-temperature flux method, in ultrapure water. When the oxide precursor was soaked in ultrapure water, the host layer valence state changed from Ni3+ and Fe3+ to Ni2+ and Fe3+, and carbonate (CO32-) ions were simultaneously intercalated in the interlayer. Thereafter, the CO32- ions were deintercalated by Cl- ions to increase the adsorption capacity. The adsorbent exhibited high crystallinity, cation state, and porosity, and unique particle shape. In addition, it showed superior adsorption capacities of approximately 194.92, 176.15, and 146.28 mg g-1 toward phosphate, fluoride, and nitrate ions, respectively. The adsorption capacity toward all the anions reached over 70% within 10 min. The adsorption behavior was investigated by performing from adsorption kinetics, isotherm, and thermodynamics studies. The results showed that the anions were endothermically and spontaneously chemisorbed through an ion exchange process onto the adsorbent in a monolayer. In addition, the as-prepared NiFe LDH adsorbent showed high stability after multicycle testing.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of Ce–Al (1 : 1, 1 : 3, 1 : 6, and 1 : 9) binary oxide nanoparticles by a simple co-precipitation method at room temperature to be applied for defluoridation of an aqueous solution. The characterization of the synthesized nanomaterial was performed by XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopy, TGA/DTA (thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis), BET (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller) surface analysis, and SEM (scanning electron microscopy). Ce–Al binary oxides in 1 : 6 molar concentration were found to have the highest surface area of 110.32 m2 g−1 with an average crystallite size of 4.7 nm, which showed excellent defluoridation capacity. The adsorptive capacity of the prepared material towards fluoride removal was investigated under a range of experimental conditions such as dosage of adsorbents, pH, and initial fluoride concentration along with adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetics. The results indicated that fluoride adsorption on cerium–aluminum binary metal oxide nanoparticles occurred within one hour, with maximum adsorption occurring at pH 2.4. The experimental data obtained were studied using Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin adsorption isotherm models. The nanomaterial showed an exceptionally high adsorbent capacity of 384.6 mg g−1. Time-dependent kinetic studies were carried out to establish the mechanism of the adsorption process by pseudo-first-order kinetics, pseudo-second-order kinetics, and Weber–Morris intraparticle diffusion kinetic models. The results indicated that adsorption processes followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. This study suggests that cerium–aluminum binary oxide nanoparticles have good potential for fluoride removal from highly contaminated aqueous solutions. Mesoporous Ce–Al binary oxide nanomaterials prepared with a surface area of 110.32 m2 g−1 showed defluoridation capacity at pH 2.4, exhibited maximum adsorption capacity of 384.6 mg g−1 and a removal efficiency of 91.5% at a small dose of nanoadsorbent.![]()

Abstract
In recent years, there has been an increase in public perception of the detrimental side-effects of fluoride to human health due to its effects on teeth and bones. Today, there is a plethora of techniques available for the removal of fluoride from drinking water. Among them, adsorption is a very prospective method because of its handy operation, cost efficiency, and high selectivity. Along with efforts to assist fluoride removal from drinking waters, extensive attention has been also paid to the accurate measurement of fluoride in water. Currently, the analytical methods that are used for fluoride determination can be classified into chromatographic methods (e.g., ionic chromatography), electrochemical methods (e.g., voltammetry, potentiometry, and polarography), spectroscopic methods (e.g., molecular absorption spectrometry), microfluidic analysis (e.g., flow injection analysis and sequential injection analysis), titration, and sensors. In this review article, we discuss the available techniques and the ongoing effort for achieving enhanced fluoride removal by applying novel adsorbents such as carbon-based materials (i.e., activated carbon, graphene oxide, and carbon nanotubes) and nanostructured materials, combining metals and their oxides or hydroxides as well as natural materials. Emphasis has been given to the use of lanthanum (La) in the modification of materials, both activated carbon and hybrid materials (i.e., La/Mg/Si-AC, La/MA, LaFeO3 NPs), and in the use of MgO nanostructures, which are found to exhibit an adsorption capacity of up to 29,131 mg g−1. The existing analytical methodologies and the current trends in analytical chemistry for fluoride determination in drinking water are also discussed.

Abstract
Considering the serious health effects of fluoride contamination, an environment friendly bioadsorbent was derived from wattle humus for fluoride removal by conventional thermal activation process. Analytical characterizations revealed that heterogeneous morphological textured wattle humus enabled remarkable adsorption capacity. XPS analysis substantiated that fluoride had been successfully adsorbed on to the carbonized wattle humus surface through chemisorption. Fluoride adsorption efficiency was systematically rationalized via batch adsorption studies. Experiments were performed at different initial fluoride concentration and scrutinized the impact of contact time (10-120 min), adsorbent dosage (0.5-2.5 g), pH (2.0-9.0), and interfering co-existing ions (SO42-, NO3-, Cl-, and HCO3-) on fluoride removal. Even at different adsorbate dosage (2-10 mg/L), 98% fluoride removal efficiency was achieved under pH > 6. The competitive anions do not interfere the wattle humus fluoride adsorption capacity. Moreover, the adsorption isotherms and kinetics studies inferred that monolayer and multilayer adsorption behavior by wattle humus leads to noticeable fluoride adsorption. Adsorbent regeneration test affirms that regenerated adsorbent found higher (>95%) fluoride removal efficiency even at five recycle runs.

Abstract
Fluoride contamination in groundwater is a worldwide problem that is related to human health. Zirconium-based adsorbents possess satisfactory selective defluoridation capacities. However, narrow efficiency pH range, easy aggregation and difficult separation are the main obstructions in practical application. In this study, the branched polyethyleneimine (bPEI) modified hydrous zirconium oxide (HZO)/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers (NFs) are synthesized by immobilizing bPEI-HZO into PAN nanofibers via electrospinning. The resultant bPEI-HZO/PAN NFs exhibit a wide working pH range and an excellent adsorption capacity toward fluoride (67.51 mg·g-1) even at neutral condition, indicating non-negligible superiority in the practical application of groundwater defluoridation. This enhanced adsorption performance along with extended wider working pH range are ascribed to the optimization of the adsorbents from both composition and structure. Compositionally, the modification of bPEI improves the surface property of HZO, and thus increases fluoride capacity in alkaline groundwater. Structurally, electrospinning conquers the drawbacks of nano-adsorbents for both easy aggregation and difficult separation. In addition, the effect of co-existing ions was further investigated and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) as well as fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR) measurements were used to clarify the fluoride adsorption mechanism. Furthermore, the dynamic adsorption and regeneration performance were accomplished through the fixed-bed column experiment. All the results indicated that bPEI-HZO/PAN NFs are promising materials for defluoridation from groundwater.

Abstract
Understanding the fate and behavior of nanoparticles (NPs) in the natural environment is important to assess their potential risk. Single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) allows for the detection of NPs at extremely low concentrations, but the high natural background of the constituents of many of the most widely utilized nanoscale materials makes accurate quantification of engineered particles challenging. Chemical doping, with a less naturally abundant element, is one approach to address this; however, certain materials with high natural abundance, such as TiO2 NPs, are notoriously difficult to label and differentiate from natural NPs. Using the low abundance rare earth element Ho as a marker, Ho-bearing core -TiO2 shell (NaHoF4@TiO2) NPs were designed to enable the quantification of engineered TiO2 NPs in real environmental samples. The NaHoF4@TiO2 NPs were synthesized on a large scale (gram), at relatively low temperatures, using a sacrificial Al(OH)3 template that confines the hydrolysis of TiF4 within the space surrounding the NaHoF4 NPs. The resulting NPs consist of a 60 nm NaHoF4 core and a 5 nm anatase TiO2 shell, as determined by TEM, STEM-EDX mapping, and spICP-MS. The NPs exhibit excellent detectability by spICP-MS at extremely low concentrations (down to 1 × 10-3 ng/L) even in complex natural environments with high Ti background.

Abstract
A novel hydroxyapatite montmorillonite (HAP-MMT) nanocomposite system was synthesized using a simple wet chemical in situ precipitation method. Neat nano hydroxyapatite (HAP) was also synthesized for comparison. The characterization of the materials was carried out using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) isotherms to study the functional groups, morphology, crystallinity and the surface area respectively. Batch adsorption studies and kinetic studies on fluoride adsorption were conducted for the HAP-MMT system and for neat HAP. The effect of parameters such as contact time, pH, initial concentration, temperature, and thermodynamic parameters and the effect of coexisting ions on fluoride adsorption by HAP-MMT were studied. Results of the isotherm experiments were fitted to four adsorption isotherm models namely Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin Radushkevich. Fluoride adsorption over HAP-MMT fitted to the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model and showed more than two-fold improved adsorption capacity (16.7 mg g−1) compared to neat HAP. The best-fitting kinetic model for both adsorbents was found to be pseudo second order. Calculated thermodynamic parameters indicated that the fluoride adsorption by HAP-MMT is more favorable compared to that on HAP within the temperature range of 27 °C–60 °C. Improved fluoride adsorption by HAP-MMT is attributed to the exfoliated nature of HAP-MMT. Gravity filtration studies carried out using a 1.5 ppm fluoride solution, which is closer to the ground water fluoride concentrations of Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) affected areas in Sri Lanka, resulted in a 1600 ml g−1 break through volume indicating the potential of HAP-MMT to be used in real applications. A novel hydroxyapatite montmorillonite (HAP-MMT) nanocomposite was synthesized using a simple wet chemical in situ precipitation method. This nanocomposite showed improved adsorption properties towards fluoride ions in water.![]()

Comparative study on synchronous adsorption of arsenate and fluoride in aqueous solution onto MgAlFe-LDHs with different intercalating anions. RSC Adv 2018; 8:33301-33313. [PMID: 35548142 PMCID: PMC9086567 DOI: 10.1039/c8ra05968c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2018] [Accepted: 09/15/2018] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, a series of MgAlFe-LDHs (Cl-, NO3 -, intercalation, and calcined products of a CO3 2- interlayer) was synthesized and used for adsorption of arsenate and fluoride in individual contaminants and coexisting pollutant systems. Effects of various factors such as initial pH of solution, dosage of materials, coexisting ions, contact time, and initial pollutant concentrations were evaluated. Experimental results showed that different intercalating anions had a significant effect on adsorption performance of arsenate and fluoride in water. The adsorption of arsenate and fluoride on MgAlFe-CLDH, MgAlFe-Cl-LDH or MgAlFe-NO3-LDH can be described by different adsorption isotherm equations. During the simultaneous removal process, arsenate and fluoride competed for adsorption sites of the adsorbent materials, and the fluoride ions had advantages in the competitive adsorption on MgAlFe-Cl-LDH and MgAlFe-NO3-LDH. MgAlFe-NO3-LDH was used to adsorb arsenate and fluoride in coexisting pollution systems (the concentration of each pollutant was 2 mg L-1, the adsorbent dosage was 1.5 g L-1). The remaining arsenic concentration was reduced to less than 10 μg L-1 and the remaining fluoride ion concentration to below 20 μg L-1 which meets the World Health Organization's, EPA's and China's drinking water standards for arsenic and fluoride limits. A possible mechanism is discussed with support from further XRD, SEM, and XPS analysis of the materials after their adsorption.

Abstract
One-dimension ZrO2 mesoporous fibers were successfully synthesized by utilizing the electrospinning device combining with the soft-template method. The morphology and composite of the fibers were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, FT-IR, TGA/DSC and XPS, and the pore structure and surface area were calculated according the BET measured results. The fluoride adsorption performance of the fibers was investigated and the adsorption capacity was upto 297.70 mg g-1. Moreover, the equilibrium concentration could be reached to 1.41 mg L-1 with the initial of 30 mg L-1, and the removal rate could be reached to 95.3%. The adsorption data were well fitted with the Freundlich isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The fibers had a good reusability and long-term utilization for fluoride adsorption. All the results suggested that the as-prepared ZrO2 mesoporous fibers with high surface area could be an excellent adsorbent for the wastewater defluoridation treatment.
