Enhancing irrigation water quality efficiently with potassium feldspar-derived adsorbent: Heavy metal detoxification and nutrient augmentation. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 281:116648. [PMID: 38964065 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116648] [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: 04/21/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
The pollution of Pb2+ and Cd2+ in both irrigation water and soil, coupled with the scarcity of vital mineral nutrition, poses a significant hazard to the security and quality of agricultural products. An economical potassium feldspar-derived adsorbent (PFDA) was synthesized using potassium feldspar as the main raw material through ball milling-thermal activation technology to solve this problem. The synthesis process is cost-effective and the resulting adsorbent demonstrates high efficiency in removing Pb2+ and Cd2+ from water. The removal process is endothermic, spontaneous, and stochastic, and follows the quasi-second-order kinetics, intraparticle diffusion, and Langmuir model. The adsorption and elimination of Pb2+ and Cd2+ is largely dependent on monolayer chemical sorption. The maximum removal capacity of PFDA for Pb2+ and Cd2+ at room temperature is 417 and 56.3 mg·g-1, respectively, which is superior to most mineral-based adsorbents. The desorption of Pb2+/Cd2+ on PFDA is highly challenging at pH≥3, whereas PFDA and Pb2+/Cd2+ are recyclable at pH≤0.5. When Pb2+ and Cd2+ coexisted, Pb2+ was preferentially removed by PFDA. In the case of single adsorption, Pb2+ was mainly adsorbed onto PFDA as Pb2SiO4, PbSiO3·xH2O, Pb3SiO5, PbAl2O4, PbAl2SiO6, PbAl2Si2O8, Pb2SO5, and PbSO4, whereas Cd2+ was primarily adsorbed as CdSiO3, Cd2SiO4, and Cd3Al2Si3O12. After the complex adsorption, the main products were PbSiO3·xH2O, PbAl2Si2O8, Pb2SiO4, Pb4Al2Si2O11, Pb5SiO7, PbSO4, CdSiO3, and Cd3Al2Si3O12. The forms of mineral nutrients in single and complex adsorption were different. The main mechanisms by which PFDA removed Pb2+ and Cd2+ were chemical precipitation, complexation, electrostatic attraction, and ion exchange. In irrigation water, the elimination efficiencies of Pb2+ and Cd2+ by PFDA within 10 min were 96.0 % and 70.3 %, respectively, and the concentrations of K+, Si4+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ increased by 14.0 %, 12.4 %, 55.7 %, and 878 %, respectively, within 60 min. PFDA holds great potential to replace costly methods for treating heavy metal pollution and nutrient deficiency in irrigation water, offering a sustainable, cost-effective solution and paving a new way for the comprehensive utilization of potassium feldspar.

Preparation and characterization of high-ash coal slime-based soil amendment as well as investigations of its adsorption performance and mechanisms towards heavy metals in soil. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 359:142295. [PMID: 38729445 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142295] [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: 02/25/2024] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
In this study, high-ash coal slime-based mineral soil amendment (MSA) was prepared via the hydrothermal method using high-ash coal slime as raw material, supplemented with activator calcium oxide and additive KOH solution. After hydrothermal treatment at 230 °C for 5 h, the original crystalline phase (quartz and kaolinite) of the high-ash slime was completely transformed into hydrotalcite zeolite, tobermorite, and silicate of potassium aluminosilicate, which has the largest specific surface area. The adsorption of Pb2+ and Cd2+ was adherent to the kinetic equation of secondary adsorption and Freundlich models, and the removal of Pb2+ and Cd2+ reached up to 362.58 mg g-1 and 64.67 mg g-1. The successive releases of SiO2 and CaO from MSA conformed to the Elovich equation, whereas the releases of SiO2 in Cd-containing environments and CaO in Pb- and Cd-containing environments more closely conformed to the power function; the releases of K2O all conformed to the first-order kinetic equation. The presence of Pb2+ and Cd2+ in the environment promotes the release of potassium and calcium elements with MSA's ion-exchange ability, and attenuates the release of silicon elements. Combining Pb2+ and Cd2+ with silicon resulted in the intolerant precipitation of 3PbO·2SiO2 and Cd2SiO4. The mineral precipitation mechanism is the most important mechanism of MSA in immobilizing heavy metals, accounting for 72.7%-80.5% of the total adsorption. Further contaminated soil immobilization experiments also showed that the application of MSA significantly reduced the bioavailability of soil heavy metals. When the MSA addition amount was 1.6%, the residual state increased by 63.58%. In conclusion, preparing MSA may effectively utilize coal-based solid waste with high added value.

Abstract
The discharging of lead-contaminated wastewater is a concern because of its toxicity to living organisms and water quality resulting in dangerous water consumption, so it is highly recommended to remove lead from wastewater to be below water quality standards for a safe environment. Zeolite A sugarcane bagasse fly ash powder (ZB), zeolite A sugarcane bagasse fly ash powder mixed iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (ZBF), zeolite A sugarcane bagasse fly ash beads (ZBB), zeolite A sugarcane bagasse fly ash powder mixed iron(III) oxide-hydroxide beads (ZBFB), and zeolite A sugarcane bagasse fly ash beads coated iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (ZBBF) were synthesized and characterized in various techniques. Their lead removal efficiencies were investigated by batch experiments, adsorption isotherms, and kinetics. The specific surface area, pore volume, and pore size of ZB were close values to zeolite A standard (STD), and ZBF had the highest specific surface area and the smallest pore size than others. ZB and ZBF demonstrated crystalline phases whereas ZBB, ZBFB, and ZBBF were amorphous phases. The surface morphology of ZB was a cubic shape similar to STD. ZBF demonstrated an agglomerated formation of ZB and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide whereas ZBFB and ZBBF had sphere shapes with coarse surfaces. Si, Al, O, Fe, Na, Ca, O-H, (Si, Al)-O, H2O, and D4R were detected in all materials. The surface charges of all zeolite A materials had negatively charged at all pH values, and their surfaces increased more negatively charged with increasing pH value which pH 5 illustrated as the highest negatively charged in all materials. Their lead removal efficiencies were higher than 82%. Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were well explained for their adsorption patterns and mechanisms. Finally, ZBBF is a good offer for applying in industrial wastewater treatment systems because of its easy operation and saving costs than ZBF.

Abstract
Sulfides cannot be completely removed using oxidation due to the production of sulfate. In this work, a reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/Fe3O4 hybrid material was synthesized via a simple in situ chemical method for sulfide removal. The adsorption capacity of RGO/Fe3O4 was evaluated by sulfide removal from aqueous solution, and different experimental parameters including contact time, solution pH, adsorbent dosage, ion strength and temperature were investigated. The equilibrium data were in accordance with the Langmuir linear isotherm with a maximum uptake capacity of 173 mg g-1. The adsorption of sulfide by the RGO/Fe3O4 hybrid material can be attributed to the synergistic effect of both chemical and physical adsorption according to kinetic, adsorption isotherm and thermodynamic studies. The RGO/Fe3O4 material with oxygenated functional groups could convert sulfides to stable elemental sulfur and sulfone organics. The external magnetic field could easily separate the magnetic RGO/Fe3O4 adsorbent from the liquid. This research provides a novel strategy for the green and low-cost treatment of sulfide-containing wastewater by the RGO/Fe3O4 hybrid material.

Abstract
As a type of useful solid waste, red mud (RM) should be reused to achieve waste-to-resource strategies. Additionally, the fast development of nuclear industry requires effective and reliable materials for treating uranium (U)-containing wastewater. This study attempted to remove uranyl ions [U(VI)] from mimic radioactive wastewater by various RM particles with different size fractions (e.g., >75, 45-75, 20-45, 10-20, 5-10, and <5-μm). Sorption data confirmed that the RM with a size fraction of <5-μm exhibited the largest adsorption capacity. The U removal behavior was favorably described by the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model. The mineral phases in the RM remarkably influenced U(VI) removal. Cancrinite, katoite, grossular, calcite, and calcium aluminum silicate phases made contributions to U(VI) adsorption. In addition, redox precipitation with iron-bearing minerals on RM surface also led to U(VI) adsorption. The findings of this work offer fundamental knowledge on the potential application of RM for clean-up of U(VI) from contaminated sites.

Abstract
Increasing of industrializations causes of waste management problems, so use of industrial wastes for other purposes is an alternative option not only reducing industrial wastes but also providing benefit applications. Water contaminated by heavy metals is concerned because of their toxicity, so the water treatment is required. Sugar factory and power plant create big loads of wastes which are bagasse fly ash (BFA) and coal fly ash (CFA). Since BFA and CFA have good chemical properties, they are possible to apply as raw materials for synthesis of zeolite-type adsorbents. Thus, use of these industrial wastes for heavy metal adsorptions is a good idea to accomplish for the waste management and water quality. This study presented the modified method of zeolite A synthesis by BFA and CFA for lead removals, characteristic identifications of synthesized zeolite A adsorbents, their lead adsorption efficiencies, and their adsorption isotherm and kinetics were investigated. ZBG and ZCF were synthesized, and all analytic characterizations were determined that ZBG and ZCF corresponded to zeolite A standard (STD). ZBG and ZCF were demonstrated lead removal efficiencies of 100%. The highest negatively charged of ZBG and ZCF were found at pH of 5 matched to the highest lead removal efficiencies of both zeolite A adsorbents. Adsorption isotherms and kinetics of ZBG and ZCF were corresponded to Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Therefore, ZBG and ZCF are potential adsorbents for environmental applications along with reducing of industrial wastes.

Abstract
Used oyster shells are considered a waste product of the seafood industry. Herein, we hypothesize that oyster shells can be used as a raw ingredient to synthesize effective sorbents. This study investigated the lead sorption ability of modified oyster shells [phosphoric-acid treated oyster shell (POS) and oyster shells with phosphoric acid (OS + P)] from water. XRD confirmed the presence of calcium phosphate. Lead removal efficiency as a function of sorbent type was as follows: OS + P > POS > OS. Sorption was quantified effectively using Freundlich isotherms with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.98 to 0.99. The Freundlich parameter values of Kf and n indicate that POS and OS + P exhibit stronger lead sorption than OS. These results indicate that modified oyster shells with OS + P and POS could be effective sorbents for lead removal from water. Kinetic models were well described by a pseudo-second-order rate constant for all the sorbents.

Abstract
The excellent adsorption properties of clay minerals make the optimization of heavy metal removal the subject of numerous research projects. In the present study, ASLAVITAL cosmetic clay (ACC) powder was applied for the removal of Cd2+ from water. The main deposit of ACC clay is the Pădurea Craiului Mountains in Romania. A wide range of morpho-structural approaches (SEM, EDX, FTIR, Raman, XRD) were used to characterize the morphology and elemental composition of the adsorbent. As expected for clay minerals, Al (Wt(%) = 11.4 ± 0.9) and Si (Wt(%) = 13.7 ± 1.4) are the main constituents of ACC. After adsorption, Wt(%) = 0.2 ± 0.01 Cd2+ was detected in the sample. As proved before, the initial metal concentration is the primary influencing factor; therefore, batch adsorption of 10–160 mg/L Cd2+ was investigated. After 190 min, an efficiency of 99% was reached, and the quantity in equilibrium increased from 1–8 mg/g. The best fit in linear form was obtained for the Langmuir II. model, where R2 = 0.954 (RL = 0.037–0.027). Based on linear isotherm models, physical bonds formed between ACC and Cd2+ during the favorable adsorption. For the non-linear fits, the Liu model proved to be the best R2 = 0.965, χ2 = 1.101. Pseudo-II-order kinetic model described the experimental data R2 = 0.988–0.999; qexp and qcalc were almost identical (the differences ranged 0.03–0.34).

Abstract
The present work investigates the primary adsorption mechanisms of lead (II) and cadmium (II) cations onto pomelo fruit peel (PFP) from aqueous solution. pH, adsorption time, ion strength, and initial metal cation concentrations, which are factors affecting the uptake of these cations, are investigated. Results show that pH and ion strengths strongly affect the removal of these cations from aqueous solution. Different isotherm adsorption models, such as Langmuir, Freundlich, and Sips, are utilized to fit the experimental data in order to determine the adsorption in nature. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacities are found to be 47.18 mg/g for lead (II) and 13.35 mg/g for cadmium (II). Kinetic and thermodynamic studies based on a combination of FT-IR and TG-DSC spectroscopies demonstrate that electrostatic attraction plays a primary adsorption mechanism of lead (II) and cadmium (II) cations onto pomelo fruit peel.

Hydrothermally-altered feldspar as an environmentally-friendly technology to promote heavy metals immobilization: Batch studies and application in smelting-affected soils. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2021; 291:112711. [PMID: 33964625 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.112711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2020] [Revised: 04/16/2021] [Accepted: 04/24/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Hydrothermally-altered feldspar (HydroPotash, HYP) possesses, among other physicochemical properties, high pH buffering and cation exchange capacity. Therefore, it may potentially remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions and immobilize these metals in contaminated soil. This study aimed to evaluate the capabilities of two types of HydroPotash (HYP-1 and HYP-2) and a zeolite sample (a commercial adsorbent) for immobilizing cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) from both aqueous solution and contaminated soils from a Zn-smelting area (classified as soilhigh, soilintermediate, and soillow based on their level of soluble metal concentration). Sorption studies in natural suspension pH showed that HYPs removed 63.8-99.9% Zn, 20.6-40.7% Cd, and 68.4-99.7% Pb from aqueous solution. In the batch test with controlled pH (at pH 5.5), HYPs sorbed more Cd than zeolite. Analyses of scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy after desorption showed the presence of Pb at HYP-2, indicating that this metal was effectively adsorbed. In soilhigh HYPs immobilized 99.9% of Zn, Cd, and Pb after one week of soil incubation with these products. The HYPs immobilization effect persisted up to 84 days of soil incubation with these products. The increased soil pH promoted by HYPs appears to be the main factor controlling metal sorption. In conclusion, HydroPotash can be used as an adsorbent/amendment to effectively immobilize heavy metals in both water and contaminated soils by precipitation and adsorption. Our findings indicate the high potential of this material for Cd, Zn, and Pb stabilization, which is of great relevance when recovering areas affected by mining/smelting activities with multi-element contamination.

Abstract
This study was conducted to explore the potential capacity for the removal of heavy metals from the fly ash (FA) and bottom ash (BA) emitted by wood pellet thermal power plants. Fly ash consists of inorganic compounds such as CaSiO3, P2O5, and K2O, whereas BA shows properties very similar to the biochar derived from organic biomass. The adsorption properties of both FA and BA for Cd were described well by the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models, and the maximum adsorption capacity of FA for Cd was 4.2 times higher than that of BA. The results indicate that FA can be applied to the treatment of wastewater that contains heavy metals over pH range from 2-6; however, BA is considered to be most effective for application with wastewater that contains heavy metals at a pH of 5-6. Study of the mechanism concluded that the adsorption of Cd by FA is dominated by the formation of Cd2SiO4 complexes by chemical reactions between CaSiO3 and Cd ions as well as via the precipitation of Cd(OH)2 in the neutral and alkaline solutions that is caused by the dissolution of K. It was found that the adsorption of Cd by BA was influenced by the binding of functional groups (CC and COH), coupled CaCO3 dissolution-CdCO3 precipitation reaction and ion exchange between some minerals with Si and Cd ions in weakly acidic conditions. Results indicate that the FA and BA emitted from wood pellet thermal power plants have high potential for heavy metal removal, and their practical use in the purification and restoration of heavy metals could be an effective way to reduce the waste produced by power plants and clean the environment.

Abstract
We monitored the relationship between the cadmium (Cd) concentration uptake of rice and the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) at the soil surface with the supplementation of fermented botanical waste-based amendment (FBWA), an organic fertilizer prepared from woody and food wastes. This study was carried out for 3 years in the western part of Jiangsu Province, China. It was found that the Cd concentration taken up by rice was correlated to a decreased the ORP of the cultivated soil. The yield of rice was ∼1.20 times higher than that of the control plot. The effects of reducing the Cd content in rice and increasing the rice yield remained for 2 years after FBWA application. Finally, Cd was immobilized in the soil with adsorption to FBWA or the decomposed products. The ORP measurement during rice cultivation might be a key index to predict the suppression effect of Cd uptake into the rice or limitation of the sustainable effect by the FBWA.

Abstract
The surface configuration of tetravalent manganese feroxyhyte (TMFx) was appropriately modified to achieve higher negative surface charge density and, hence, to improve its efficiency for the removal of dissolved Cd and Pb mostly cationic species from water at pH values commonly found in surface or ground waters. This was succeeded by the favorable engagement of Ca2+ cations onto the surface of a mixed Mn-Fe oxy-hydroxide adsorbent during the preparation step, imitating an ion-exchange mechanism between H+ and Ca2+; therefore, the number of available negatively-charged adsorption sites was increased. Particularly, the calcium coverage can increase the deprotonated surface oxygen atoms, which can act as adsorption centers, as well as maintain them during the subsequent drying procedure. The developed Ca-modified adsorbent (denoted as TMFx-Ca) showed around 10% increase of negative surface charge density, reaching 2.0 mmol [H+]/g and enabling higher adsorption capacities for both Cd and Pb aquatic species, as was proved also by carrying out specific rapid small-scale column tests, and it complied with the corresponding strict drinking water regulation limits. The adsorption capacity values were found 6.8 μg·Cd/mg and 35.0 μg·Pb/mg, when the restructured TMFx-Ca adsorbent was used, i.e., higher than those recorded for the unmodified material.

Abstract
A new effective adsorbent, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane functionalized magnetic sporopollenin (MSp@SiO2NH2) based silica-coated graphene oxide (GO), (GO@SiO2-MSp@SiO2NH2) was successfully synthesized and applied for the first time in the removal of hazardous Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution. The properties of the composite were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and vibrating-sample magnetometery (VSM). Evaluation of GO@SiO2-MSp@SiO2NH2 adsorption performance at optimum conditions revealed that the adsorbent has a maximum adsorption capacity of 323.5 mg/g for Pb(II) using 50-200 mg/L initial Pb(II) ions concentrations. Initial and final concentrations of Pb(II) ions in aqueous solution were analyzed using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (GF-ASS). The adsorption behavior of Pb(II) ions onto GO@SiO2-MSp@SiO2NH2 was studied using Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms models. The values of coefficient of determination showed that the adsorption best fitted the Langmuir model (R2 = 0.9994). Kinetic studies suggested that the adsorption of Pb(II) ion followed a pseudo-second-order rate model (R2 = 1.00) and thermodynamic studies revealed that the adsorption process is endothermic and spontaneous. The effect of co-existing ions on Pb(II) ion adsorption were also studied and found to have considerable effects only at higher matrix concentration. The adsorbent can be reused up to ten times and retain its good adsorption capacity. In addition, GO@SiO2-MSp@SiO2NH2 showed great potential for Pb(II)removal from industrial wastewater samples.

Abstract
This field study aims to identify the performance and mechanisms of red soil amelioration and heavy metal immobilization by a multi-element mineral amendment (MMA) mainly containing a mixture of zeolites (laumontite and gismondine), montmorillonite, gehlenite, grossular and calcium silicate powder. The results indicated that the acidity of red soil was neutralized, and the soil EC, CEC, and content of montmorillonite and illite were increased after application of MMA, improving the soil fertility as well as the ability of heavy metals immobilization. The high amounts and reactivity of dissolved and colloidal Fe provided by the ferralsol (red soil) combined with the abundant available Si, Ca, Mg, Na and K supplied by MMA, readily destabilizes kaolinite and facilitates the formation of 2:1 type clay minerals. Meanwhile, the application of MMA was effective in reducing the bioavailability of soil heavy metals due to the activated mineralogical compositions of MMA as well as the increase of pH and 2:1 type clay minerals in the soil, which significantly decreased the up-taking and accumulation of Cd, Pb, Cr and Hg in lettuce tissues (p < 0.05). Compared with the untreated soil, the plant height, the total yield and content of vitamin C in the edible parts of lettuce in MMA-treated soil was increased by 7.6%, 23.6%, and 12.8%, respectively. These results showed that MMA could be a promising amendment for red soil amelioration and heavy metal immobilization.

Abstract
This study investigated the factors influencing the simultaneous removal of Cd2+, NO3-N and hardness from water by the bacterial strain CN86. Optimum conditions were determined experimentally by varying the type of organic matter used, initial Cd2+ concentration, and pH. Under the optimum conditions, the maximum removal ratios of Cd2+, NO3-N and hardness were 100.00, 89.85 and 71.63%, respectively. The mechanism of Cd2+ removal is a combination of co-precipitation with calcium carbonate and pH. Further confirmation that Cd2+ can be removed by strain CN86 was provided by XRD and XPS analyses. Meteorological chromatography analysis showed that N2 was produced as an end product. These results demonstrate that the bacterial strain CN86 is a suitable candidate for simultaneously removing Cd2+, NO3-N, and hardness during in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Silicon-containing compounds such as silica are effective heavy metal sorbents which can be employed in many applications. This is attributed to the porous nature of hydrothermally-stable silica, endowing such materials with high surface area and rich surface chemistry, all responsible for improving adsorption and desorption performance. However, to this day, the wide application of silica is limited by its skeletal brittleness and high production cost coupled with a risky traditional supercritical drying method. To solve the named problems, herein, precipitated silica agglomerates (referred to as PSA) was crosslinked with TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TO-CNF) as a reinforcement in the presence of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), via a facile dual metal synthesis approach, is reported. The resultant new silica-based sponges (TO-CNF PSA) showed desirable properties of flexibility, porosity and multifaceted sorption of various heavy metals with re-usability. The experimental results showed maximum adsorption capacities of 157.7, 33.22, 140.3 and 130.5 mg g−1 for Pb(ii), Hg(ii), Cr(iii) and Cd(ii) ions, respectively. Such a facile approach to modify silica materials by attaching active groups together with reinforcement can provide improved and reliable silica-based materials which can be applied in water treatment, gas purification, thermal insulation etc. PSA was inexpensively ameliorated by cellulose nanofibrils reinforcement. The resultant sponge with mechanically strong skeleton was evaluated as an excellent adsorbent for heavy metals.![]()
