Comparing Conventional and Advanced Approaches for Heavy Metal Removal in Wastewater Treatment: An In-Depth Review Emphasizing Filter-Based Strategies. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1959. [PMID: 39065274 PMCID: PMC11280771 DOI: 10.3390/polym16141959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2024] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Various industrial activities release heavy metal ions into the environment, which represent one of the major toxic pollutants owing to their severe effects on the environment, humans, and all living species. Despite several technological advances and breakthroughs, wastewater treatment remains a critical global issue. Traditional techniques are dedicated to extracting heavy metal ions from diverse wastewater origins, encompassing coagulation/flocculation, precipitation, flotation, and ion exchange. Their cost, side toxicity, or ineffectiveness often limit their large-scale use. Due to their adaptable design, simple operation, and reasonable cost, membrane filtration and adsorption have proven their efficiency in removing metals from wastewater. Recently, adsorption-based filters have appeared promising in treating water. Within this range, filters incorporating natural, synthetic, or hybrid adsorbents present an appealing alternative to conventional approaches. This review aims to list and describe the conventional and advanced wastewater treatment methods by comparing their efficiency, cost, and environmental impact. Adsorption-based filters were highlighted due to the significant advantages they can provide.

Bayuo J, Rwiza MJ, Choi JW, Mtei KM, Hosseini-Bandegharaei A, Sillanpää M. Adsorption and desorption processes of toxic heavy metals, regeneration and reusability of spent adsorbents: Economic and environmental sustainability approach. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 329:103196. [PMID: 38781828 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2024.103196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
A growing number of variables, including rising population, water scarcity, growth in the economy, and the existence of harmful heavy metals in the water supply, are contributing to the increased demand for wastewater treatment on a global scale. One of the innovative water treatment technologies is the adsorptive removal of heavy metals through the application of natural and engineered adsorbents. However, adsorption currently has setbacks that prevent its wider application for heavy metals sequestration from aquatic environments using various adsorbents, including difficulty in selecting suitable desorption eluent to recover adsorbed heavy metals and regeneration techniques to recycle the spent adsorbents for further use and safe disposal. Therefore, the recovery of adsorbed heavy metal ions and the ability to reuse the spent adsorbents is one of the economic and environmental sustainability approaches. This study presents a state-of-the-art critical review of different desorption agents that could be used to retrieve heavy metals and regenerate the spent adsorbents for further adsorption-desorption processes. Additionally, an attempt was made to discuss and summarize some of the independent factors influencing heavy metals desorption, recovery, and adsorbent regeneration. Furthermore, isotherm and kinetic modeling have been summarized to provide insights into the adsorption-desorption mechanisms of heavy metals. Finally, the review provided future perspectives to provide room for researchers and industry players who are interested in heavy metals desorption, recovery, and spent adsorbents recycling to reduce the high cost of adsorbents reproduction, minimize secondary waste generation, and thereby provide substantial economic and environmental benefits.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:42230-42250.

Abstract
This research focuses on the synthesis of novel low-cost granular sorbents based on bentonite clay of the Navbahor deposit, dust fraction of Angren brown coal, and agricultural wastes such as straw and sawdust to meet the internal needs of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The impact of the initial mixture ingredients on the structural and textural properties of bentonite-coal sorbents (BCSs) has been studied using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, optical microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis. For determining the sorption capacity of BCSs, a standard model substance methylene blue (MB), was applied. It was revealed that the maximum adsorption amount of MB was 5.3 mg∙g-1 during 2 h of contact. Prolonging the contact time to 24 h allowed for more extensive diffusion of dye molecules into the sorbent's pores, increasing the adsorption capacity to 13 mg∙g-1. It was demonstrated that BCSs could be regenerated by strong oxidizing agents such as sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide, with sulfuric acid proving more effective. Regeneration fully restores sorption properties, particularly at low dye concentrations (up to 0.2 mg∙ml-1). Despite slight reductions in adsorption capacity over multiple regeneration cycles, the sorbents maintain their structural integrity and durability. It is shown that compared to imported expensive activated carbon, the gross profitability of the in-house production of such granular BCSs within the territory of Uzbekistan increases from 48 to 78%, while the net income increases almost three times.

Abstract
Organoclays have been proposed as efficient removal agents for colored wastewater treatment. In this study, organo-acid-activated clays were investigated for their ability to remove eosin Y dye molecules. Firstly, the clay was acid activated using sulfuric solution at 90 °C for overnight. Secondly, the resulting materials were treated by hexadecyltetramethylammonium bromide solutions to obtain organo-acid-activated clays. Several techniques were used, such as X-ray diffraction, carbon hydrogen nitrogen analysis, silicon-29 and carbon-13 solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, and nitrogen adsorption isotherms. The cation exchange capacity values were reduced and the specific surface area values increased from 80.1 m2/g to 183.2 m2/g during the acid activation process. The resulting organo-acid-activated clays had a similar expansion of interlayer spacing of 3.90 nm with less intercalated hexadecyltetramethylammonium surfactants, ranging from 0.80 mmol/g to 1.22 mmol/g; 13C solid NMR indicated that the intercalated surfactants exhibited different degree of conformation. Many factors, including the solid dose, solution pH, amount of intercalated surfactants, and starting eosin-Y concentrations, were studied in relation to the removal capabilities of organo acid-activated clays. Based on the Langmuir model, the removal capacity of the organo acid-activated clays ranged from a minimum of 43.5 mg/g to a maximum of 79.3 mg/g, dependent on the surfactant quantities and acid activation degree. , and the pH. The removal percentage of eosin-Y was increased from 50.5 % to 80.8 % by treating the organo acid-activated clay with HCl solution before the removal procedure. Regeneration and reuse of two selected organo acid-activated clays were carried out for seven successive cycles, and a reduction in the initial efficiency was in the range of 26.4 %-30.1 %. However, for organoclay (without acid activation), approximately 52.1 % efficiency was maintained. Using the Langmuir model and mass balance equations, a single-stage adsorber design was suggested for different dye volumes at a constant starting concentration.

Abstract
Activated carbon (AC) based adsorbents derived from waste sludge were utilized to remediate mixed contaminants in wastewater as an integrated waste-to-resource approach promoting a paradigm shift in management of refuse sludge and wastewater. This review specifically focuses on the remediation of constituents of landfill leachate by sludge-based activated carbon (SBAC). The adsorption effectiveness of SBAC for the exclusion of leachate characters including heavy metals, phenols, dyes, phosphates, and phosphorus were explored with regard to modifiers such as pH, temperature, properties of the adsorbent including functional groups, initial doses of absorbent and adsorbate, and duration of exposure to note the impact of each parameter on the efficiency of adsorption of the sludge adsorbent. Through the works of various researchers, it was noted that the properties of the adsorbent, pH and temperature impact the working of SBACs. The pH of the adsorbent by influencing the functional groups. Temperature was expected to have a paramount effect on the adsorption efficiency of the SBACs. The importance of the regeneration and recycling of the adsorbents as well as their leachability is highlighted. Sludge based activated carbon is recommended as a timely, resource-efficient, and sustainable approach for the remediation of wastewater.

Abstract
Synthetic organic dyes, which are resistant to biodegradation, pose a notable health risk, potentially leading to cancer and respiratory infections. Researchers have addressed this concern by exploring physicochemical methods to remove organic dyes from wastewater. A particularly promising solution involves modified biochar adsorbents, which demonstrate high efficiency in organic dye removal. Biochar, a charcoal-like material derived from biomass pyrolysis, offers advantages such as low cost, eco-friendliness, high efficiency and reusability. Beyond its role in sustainable soil remediation, biochar proves effective in removing organic dyes from wastewater after undergoing physical or chemical modification. Acid-base activation or metal-heteroatom impregnation enhances biochar's adsorption capacity. This comprehensive review examines the attributes of biochar, common methods for production and modification, and the impacts of raw materials, pyrolysis temperature, heating rate and residence time. It further elucidates the biochar adsorption mechanism in the removal of organic dyes, assessing factors influencing efficiency, including biochar feedstock, solution pH, adsorption temperature, particle size, initial dye concentration, biochar dosage and reaction time. It explores challenges, opportunities, reusability and regeneration methods of biochar in treating organic dye wastewater. It also discusses recent advances in organic dye removal using adsorption-based biochar. The review ultimately advocates for enhancing biochar's adsorption performance through post-modification.

Abstract
This study investigated the single and multicomponent adsorption of three emerging pollutants, the basic dyes Rhodamine 6G (R6G), Auramine-O (AO), and Brilliant Green (BG) by using hydroxyapatite synthesized from Pirarucu scales as adsorbent (HAP). The adsorption process was studied using seven different systems: AO-single, R6G-single, BG-single, R6G + AO, BG + AO, BG + R6G, and R6G + AO + BG. For kinetics, the initial concentration of each adsorbate per system was 50 mg/L, the results showed that the singular adsorption of these dyes was best-represented by the pseudo-second-order model (qAO = 62.54 mg/g, qR6G = 7.91 mg/g, qBG = 62.40 mg/g), however, the multicomponent adsorption was well-fitted by a pseudo-first-order model (ternary system: qAO = 56.21 mg/g, qR6G = 14.95 mg/g, qBG = 60.62 mg/g). For equilibrium, the initial concentration of each adsorbate per system was 10-300 mg/L, and the single adsorption systems were best represented by the Langmuir model. Nonetheless, the results displayed in the multicomponent mixture showed the presence of inflection points of AO and R6G whenever BG was present in solution with C0 > 150 mg/L, thus indicating that BG has greater affinity with HAP. The presence of inflection points in the curves represented a limitation for applying traditional equilibrium models, thus, an artificial neural network (ANN) was applied to non-linear curve fit this process and satisfactorily predicted the kinetics and equilibrium data. Finally, the analysis of thermodynamics for the ternary mixture revealed that the adsorption process is spontaneous (ΔG < 0), endothermic (ΔH > 0), and increases to a disorganized state as the temperature rises (ΔS > 0).

Abstract
The powdered citrus peel, which has been replaced with sodium hydroxide, was used in this study to test how well methylene blue and reactive black 5 dyestuff absorbed one or both. To find out about the texture and surface chemistry of modified citrus peel, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope analyses were carried out. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy data revealed the presence of amphoteric radicals on the modified citrus peel surface, indicating the effective adsorption of methylene blue and reactive black 5. Many parameters affecting the batch adsorption process, such as modified citrus peel dose (0.1-0.5 g), pH (2-10), time (20-80 min), stirring speed (60-180 rpm), and temperature (20-45 °C), were studied. It is seen that the physical effect is at the forefront, homogeneous monolayer adsorption occurs, and the process fits the Langmuir and pseudo first order models for dyestuffs. Thermodynamic modeling showed that the adsorption of methylene blue and reactive black 5 was spontaneous and endothermic. At pH 2, an adsorption capacity of 0.67 mg/g and a removal efficiency of 66.86% were achieved for reactive black 5. For methylene blue at pH 6, the adsorption capacity was 4.34 mg/g, and the decolorization rate was 87%. The decreases in the removal rates of dyestuffs in the binary system indicate that they are affected by their simultaneous presence in the solution. The results proved that modified citrus peel can be useful for dyestuff removal in single or binary systems, although the removal capacity of modified citrus peel is highly dependent on methylene blue and reactive black 5.

Abstract
The stress of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) discharging to water bodies and the environment due to increased industrialization has reduced the availability of clean water. This poses a potential health hazard to animals and human life because water contamination is a great issue to the climate, plants, humans, and aquatic habitats. Pharmaceutical compounds are quantified in concentrations ranging from ng/Lto μg/L in aquatic environments worldwide. According to (Alsubih et al., 2022), the concentrations of carbamazepine, sulfamethoxazole, Lutvastatin, ciprofloxacin, and lorazepam were 616-906 ng/L, 16,532-21635 ng/L, 694-2068 ng/L, 734-1178 ng/L, and 2742-3775 ng/L respectively. Protecting and preserving our environment must be well-driven by all sectors to sustain development. Various methods have been utilized to eliminate the emerging pollutants, such as adsorption and biological and advanced oxidation processes. These methods have their benefits and drawbacks in the removal of pharmaceuticals. Successful wastewater treatment can save the water bodies; integrating green initiatives into the main purposes of actor firms, combined with continually periodic awareness of the current and potential implications of environmental/water pollution, will play a major role in water conservation. This article reviews key publications on the adsorption, biological, and advanced oxidation processes used to remove pharmaceutical products from the aquatic environment. It also sheds light on the pharmaceutical adsorption capability of adsorption, biological and advanced oxidation methods, and their efficacy in pharmaceutical concentration removal. A research gap has been identified for researchers to explore in order to eliminate the problem associated with pharmaceutical wastes. Therefore, future study should focus on combining advanced oxidation and adsorption processes for an excellent way to eliminate pharmaceutical products, even at low concentrations. Biological processes should focus on ideal circumstances and microbial processes that enable the simultaneous removal of pharmaceutical compounds and the effects of diverse environments on removal efficiency.

[PMID: 38405488 PMCID: PMC10882648 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c09773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
Water is crucial for life. Being the world's third-largest industry, the textile industry pollutes 93 billion cubic meters of water each year. Only 28% of textile wastewater is treated by lower- to middle-income countries due to the costly treatment methods. The present work demonstrates the utilization of surface oxygen defects and nanopores in Mg0.8Li0.2Fe2O4 (Li-MgF) to treat textile effluents by a highly economical, scalable, and eco-friendly process. Nanoporous, oxygen-deficient Li-MgF splits water by a nonphotocatalytic process at room temperature to produce green electricity as hydroelectric cell. The adsorbent Li-MgF can be easily regenerated by heat treatment. A 70-90% reduction in the UV absorption intensity of adsorbent-treated textile effluents was observed by UV-visible spectroscopy. The oxygen defects on Li-MgF surface and nanopores were confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) measurements, respectively. To analyze the adsorption mechanism, three known organic water-soluble dyes, brilliant green, crystal violet, and congo red, were treated with nanoporous Li-MgF. The dye decolorization efficiency of Li-MgF was recorded to be 99.84, 99.27, and 99.31% at 250 μM concentrations of brilliant green, congo red, and crystal violet, respectively. The results of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the presence of dyes on the material surface attached through hydroxyl groups generated by water splitting on the surface of the material. Total organic carbon analysis confirmed the removal of organic carbon from the dye solutions by 82.8, 77.0, and 46.5% for brilliant green, Congo red, and crystal violet, respectively. Based on the kinetic and isotherm models, the presence of a large number of surface hydroxyl groups on the surface of the material and OH- ions in solutions generated by water splitting was found to be responsible for the complete decolorization of all of the dyes. Adsorption of chemically diverse dyes by the nanoporous, eco-friendly, ferromagnetic, economic, and reusable Li-MgF provides a sustainable and easy way to treat textile industry effluents in large amounts.

[PMID: 38318053 PMCID: PMC10839886 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
This study concerns the removal of a trihydrate antibiotic (Amoxicillin) from synthetically contaminated water by adsorption on modified bentonite. The bentonite was modified using hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (HTAB), which turned it from a hydrophilic to a hydrophobic material. The effects of different parameters were studied in batch experiments. These parameters were contact time, solution pH, agitation speed, initial concentration (C0) of the contaminant, and adsorbent dosage. Maximum removal of amoxicillin (93 %) was achieved at contact time = 240 min, pH = 10, agitation speed = 200 rpm, initial concentration = 30 ppm, and adsorbent dosage = 3 g bentonite per 1L of pollutant solution. The characterization of the adsorbent, modified bentonite, was accomplished using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller. The isotherm models were also investigated, and it was found that the Freundlich isotherm model fitted well with the experimental data (R2 = 94.77), which suggests heterogeneity in the multilayer adsorption of amoxicillin onto modified bentonite. The kinetics of the adsorption process were studied. The experimental data were found to obey the pseudo-first-order kinetic model (R2 = 95.1). Thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption process was physisorption and endothermic. Finally, the modified bentonite proved to be a good adsorbent for the removal of amoxicillin from contaminated solutions.

Abstract
High-throughput screening instrument was developed for photocatalytic water purification, enabling the simultaneous testing of 132 photocatalytic reactions under uniform visible light irradiation, temperature control, and stirring. The instrument was used to investigate the effects of different catalysts (TiO2, ZnO, α-Fe2O3) and environmental waters (seawater, urban wastewater, and industrial wastewater) on dye degradation. It was observed environmental ions, particularly carbonate and phosphate ions, significantly reduced catalyst activity by inhibiting the adsorption of dye molecules. To develop effective catalysts for dye degradation in industrial wastewater, 15 types of noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) were supported on photocatalysts. The study found that noble metal NPs with high work functions and oxidation resistance, such as Au and Pt, exhibited higher activity even in the industrial wastewater, likely converting environmental ions into active species. These findings, based on 432 test results, demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed high-throughput screening instrument for optimizing photocatalytic water purification.

Abstract
Wastewater contamination with heavy metal(loids)s has become a worldwide environmental and public health problem due to their toxic and non-degradable nature. Different methods and technologies have been applied for water/wastewater treatment to mitigate heavy metal(loid)-induced toxicity threat to humans. Among various treatment methods, adsorption is considered the most attractive method because of its high ability and efficiency to remove contaminants from wastewater. Agricultural waste-based adsorbents have gained great attention because of high efficiency to heavy metal(loids)s removal from contaminated water. Chemically modified biosorbents can significantly enhance the stability and adsorption ability of the sorbents. The two mathematical models of sorption, Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models, have mostly been studied. In kinetic modeling, pseudo-second-order model proved better in most of the studies compared to pseudo-first-order model. The ion exchange and electrostatic attraction are the main mechanisms for adsorption of heavy metal(loid)s on biosorbents. The regeneration has allowed various biosorbents to be recycled and reused up to 4-5 time. Most effective eluents used for regeneration are dilute acids. For practical perspective, biosorbent removal efficiency has been elucidated using various types of wastewater and economic analysis studies. Economic analysis of adsorption process using agricultural waste-based biosorbents proved this approach cheaper compared to traditional commercial adsorbents, such as chemically activated carbon. The review also highlights key research gaps to advance the scope and application of waste peels for the remediation of heavy metal(loid)s-contaminated wastewater.

The potential of zeolite nanocomposites in removing microplastics, ammonia, and trace metals from wastewater and their role in phytoremediation. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:1695-1718.

Abstract
Nanocomposites are emerging as a new generation of materials that can be used to combat water pollution. Zeolite-based nanocomposites consisting of combinations of metals, metal oxides, carbon materials, and polymers are particularly effective for separating and adsorbing multiple contaminants from water. This review presents the potential of zeolite-based nanocomposites for eliminating a range of toxic organic and inorganic substances, dyes, heavy metals, microplastics, and ammonia from water. The review emphasizes that nanocomposites offer enhanced mechanical, catalytic, adsorptive, and porosity properties necessary for sustainable water purification techniques compared to individual composite materials. The adsorption potential of several zeolite-metal/metal oxide/polymer-based composites for heavy metals, anionic/cationic dyes, microplastics, ammonia, and other organic contaminants ranges between approximately 81 and over 99%. However, zeolite substrates or zeolite-amended soil have limited benefits for hyperaccumulators, which have been utilized for phytoremediation. Further research is needed to evaluate the potential of zeolite-based composites for phytoremediation. Additionally, the development of nanocomposites with enhanced adsorption capacity would be necessary for more effective removal of pollutants.

Abstract
From the environmental perspective, it is essential to develop cheap, eco-friendly, and highly efficient materials for water and wastewater treatment. In this regard, hydrogels and hydrogel-based composites have been widely employed to mitigate global water pollution as this methodology is simple and free from harmful by-products. Notably, alginate and cellulose, which are natural carbohydrate polymers, have gained great attention for their availability, price competitiveness, excellent biodegradability, biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, and superior physicochemical performance in water treatment. This review outlined the recent progress in developing and applying alginate- and cellulose-based hydrogels to remove various pollutants such as dyes, heavy metals, oils, pharmaceutical contaminants, and pesticides from wastewater streams. This review also highlighted the effects of various physical or chemical methods, such as crosslinking, grafting, the addition of fillers, nanoparticle incorporation, and polymer blending, on the physiochemical and adsorption properties of hydrogels. In addition, this review covered the alginate- and cellulose-based hydrogels' current limitations such as low mechanical performance and poor stability, while presenting strategies to improve the drawbacks of the hydrogels. Lastly, we discussed the prospects and future directions of alginate- and cellulose-based hydrogels. We hope this review provides valuable insights into the efficient preparations and applications of hydrogels.

Abstract
Design and fabrication of feasible remediation composites for total Cr (Cr(T)) removal is still challenging but urgently required. Herein, eco-friendly expanded vermiculite (VE) is integrated with a photoactive covalent organic framework (COF) polymer, in which photoinduced electrons of surface anchored COF can freely transfer to Cr(VI) for chemical reduction, and layered expanded VE allows ion exchange between resultant Cr(III) cations and interlayered K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, etc. The Cr(T) removal capacities of the surface-modified VE with important parameters (solution pH value, initial Cr(VI) concentration, etc.) are discussed extensively to understand how to select the best conditions for optimum Cr(T) removal performance. More interestingly, from a circular economy view point, spent Cr-loading VE-based waste can serve as a photocatalyst towards oxidation conversion of ciprofloxacin and NO gas subsequently. Explanations for different effects on physicochemical properties as well as catalytic activities of the reused Cr-loading waste are given. This strategy could provide valuable and promising contribution towards the development of sustainable low-cost mineral materials for Cr(T) removal. These findings also shed new light on the research of recycling spent photocatalyst for resource and reutilization.

Abstract
Arsenite (As(III)) is the most toxic form of arsenic that is a serious concern for water contamination worldwide. Herein a ZnO/Halloysite (Hal) nanocomposite was prepared by the chemical bath deposition method (CBD) through seed-mediated ZnO growth on the halloysite for eliminating As(III) from the aqueous solution. The growth of ZnO on seeded halloysite was investigated based on the HMTA: Zn2+ molar ratio in the solution. An optimum molar ratio of HMTA:Zn for nucleation and growth of ZnO upon halloysite was obtained 1:2 based on morphological analysis. The TGA results confirmed that thermal stability of HNT was enhanced by ZnO decoration. The prepared ZnO/Hal nanocomposite at optimal conditions was employed for arsenite (As(III)) removal from aqueous solutions. Experimental data were evaluated with different isothermal, thermodynamic, and kinetic models. Based on the zeta potential results, Hal nanocomposites had a greater negative value than pure Hal. Therefore, the ZnO/Hal nanocomposite exhibited efficient As(III) adsorption with a removal efficiency of 76% compared to pure Hal with a removal efficiency of 5%. Adsorption isotherm was well correlated by both non-linear Langmuir and Sips models, exhibiting maximum adsorption capacity of As(III) at 42.07 mg/g, and 42.5 mg/g, respectively. As a result of the study, it was found that the fabricated Hal nanocomposite with low toxicity can be used effectively in water treatment.

Abstract
Massive amount of food waste has been generated annually, posing a threat to ecological sustainability and the social economy due to current disposal methods. Urgent action is needed worldwide to convert the traditional pathway for treating food waste into a sustainable bioeconomy, as this will significantly benefit food chain management. This study explores the use of pyrolysis to produce different types of food waste biochars and investigates their adsorption capabilities for removing Cd2+ and Pb2+ in aqueous solution. The results indicated that co-pyrolysis biochar from fresh food waste and rice husk (FWRB) exhibited superior adsorption performance for Cd2+ (61.84 mg·g-1) and Pb2+ (245.52 mg·g-1), respectively. Pseudo-second-order kinetics (0.74 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.98) and Langmuir isotherms (0.87 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.98) indicated that the immobilized Cd2+ and Pb2+ on biochars were mainly attributed to the chemisorption, including precipitation with minerals (e.g., carbonates, silicates, and phosphate), complexation with functional groups (-OH), cation exchange (-COO-), and coordination with π-electrons. Furthermore, FWRB demonstrated reduced EC and Na content in comparison to food waste digestate biochar (FWDB) and food waste digestate co-pyrolysis with sawdust biochar (FWSB), with levels of Cd and Pb falling below China's current guideline thresholds. These findings suggested that co-pyrolysis of fresh food waste with rice husk could be applicable to the recycling of food waste into biochar products for heavy metal stabilization in contaminated water and soils.

Jioui I, Abrouki Y, Aboul Hrouz S, Sair S, Dânoun K, Zahouily M. Efficient removal of Cu 2+ and methylene blue pollutants from an aqueous solution by applying a new hybrid adsorbent based on alginate-chitosan and HAP derived from Moroccan rock phosphate. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:107790-107810. [PMID: 37740159 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-29890-y] [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: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
Alginate-chitosan/hydroxyapatite (Alg-Cs/HAP) beads were prepared as adsorbent to remove methylene blue (MB) and copper ions from an aqueous solution using a batch system. FTIR, TGA, point of zero charge (pHpzc), SEM, XRD, and BET analysis were used to characterize the elaborated material. The effect of several parameters such as initial pH value, adsorbent dose, temperature, contact time, and initial pollutant concentration were also investigated. The obtained results showed that Alg-Cs/HAP exhibit excellent adsorption properties for Cu (II) and MB removal, with high adsorption capacities of copper ions (208.34 mg/g) and methylene blue (454.54 mg/g). The kinetic of the adsorption process is correlated with the pseudo-first-order for methylene blue and the pseudo-second-order for copper ions. The equilibrium data for MB dye fitted the Freundlich isotherm model, thus implying that the adsorption process consists of multilayer adsorption as well as interactions between the adsorbate and the adsorbent. The equilibrium data for copper ions corresponds closely with the Langmuir model which suggests that the adsorbed molecules occur over a monolayer. Various thermodynamic parameters such as the standard Gibbs energy (ΔG°), standard enthalpy (ΔH°), and standard entropy (ΔS°) were calculated. All results indicated that Alg-Cs/HAP material has a good potential for the treatment of wastewater.

Abstract
Instead of typical household trash, the heavy metal complexes, organic chemicals, and other poisons produced by huge enterprises threaten water systems across the world. In order to protect our drinking water from pollution, we must keep a close eye on the situation. Nanotechnology, specifically two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, is used in certain wastewater treatment systems. Graphene, g-C3N4, MoS2, and MXene are just a few examples of emerging 2D nanomaterials that exhibit an extraordinary ratio of surface (m3), providing material consumption, time consumption, and treatment technique for cleaning and observing water. In this post, we'll talk about the ways in which 2D nanomaterials may be tuned to perform certain functions, namely how they can be used for water management. The following is a quick overview of nanostructured materials and its possible use in water management: Also discussed in length are the applications of 2D nanomaterials in water purification, including pollutant adsorption, filtration, disinfection, and photocatalysis. Fluorescence sensors, colorimetric, electrochemical, and field-effect transistors are only some of the devices being studied for their potential use in monitoring water quality using 2D nanomaterials. Utilizing 2D content has its benefits and pitfalls when used to water management. New developments in this fast-expanding business will boost water treatment quality and accessibility in response to rising awareness of the need of clean, fresh water among future generations.

Abstract
A wide range of hard contaminants in wastewater is generated from different industries as byproducts of the organic compound. In this review, various metal oxide-based nanomaterials are employed for the photocatalytic removal of malachite green (MG) dye from wastewater. Some cost-effective and appropriate testing conditions are used for degrading these hard dyes to get higher removal efficiency. The effects of specific parameters are considered such as how the catalyst is made, how much dye is in the solution at first, how much nanocatalyst is needed to break down the dye, the initial pH of the dye solution, the type of light source used, the year of publications, and how long the dye has to be exposed to light to be removed. This study suggests that Scopus-based core collected data employ bibliometric methods to provide an objective analysis of global MG dye from 2011 to 2022 (12 years). The Scopus database collects all the information (articles, authors, keywords, and publications). For bibliometric analysis, 658 publications are retrieved corresponding to MG dye photodegradation, and the number of publications increases annually. A bibliometric study reveals a state-of-art review of metal oxide-based nanomaterials' effects on photocatalytic degradation of MG dyes (12 years).

CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 325:138201. [PMID: 36863629 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Revised: 02/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Solid waste is currently produced in substantial amounts by industrial activities. While some are recycled, the majority of them are dumped in landfills. Iron and steel production leaves behind ferrous slag, which must be created organically, managed wisely and scientifically if the sector is to remain more sustainably maintained. Ferrous slag is the term for the solid waste that is produced when raw iron is smelted in ironworks and during the production of steel. Both its specific surface area and porosity are relatively high. Since these industrial waste materials are so easily accessible and offer such serious disposal challenges, the idea of their reuse in water and wastewater treatment systems is an appealing alternative. There are many components such as Fe, Na, Ca, Mg, and silicon found in ferrous slags, which make it an ideal substance for wastewater treatment. This research investigates the potential of ferrous slag as coagulants, filters, adsorbents, neutralizers/stabilizers, supplementary filler material in soil aquifers, and engineered wetland bed media to remove contaminants from water and wastewater. Ferrous slag may provide a substantial environmental risk before or after reuse, so leaching and eco-toxicological investigations are necessary. Some study revealed that the amount of heavy metal ions leached from ferrous slag conforms to industrial norms and is exceedingly safe, hence it may be employed as a new type of inexpensive material to remove contaminants from wastewater. The practical relevance and significance of these aspects are attempted to be analyzed, taking into account all recent advancements in the fields, in order to help in the development of informed decisions about future directions for research and development related to the utilization of ferrous slags for wastewater treatment.

Amazon raw clay as a precursor of a clay-based adsorbent: experimental study and DFT analysis for the adsorption of Basic Yellow 2 dye. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:62602-62624.

Abstract
A clay-based adsorbent (CBA) was purified from a sustainable precursor (raw clay, RC), which was obtained from the Amazon region in Brazil. The CBA was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller surface area (SBET, RC = 23.386 m2.g-1, CBA = 33.020 m2.g-1), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), cation exchange capacity (CEC, CBA = 44.75 cmol/kg), and point of zero charge analyses (pHPZC, CBA = 2.20). Subsequently, CBA was used to adsorb basic yellow 2 (BY2) dye from aqueous solutions. A CBA dosage (1 g/L), initial concentration of dye (C0 = 15 mg/L), and pH (5.6) were ideal conditions for the BY2 dye removal of ~ 98%. The BY2 kinetics was better represented by the pseudo-first-order (PFO) model while the BY2 equilibrium was well represented by the Sips model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of qms = 18.04 mg/g at 28 °C. The negative values of ΔG° and ΔH° showed that the studied process is spontaneous and exothermic, while the values of isosteric heat (∆Hst, -16 to -20 kJ/mol) suggest a predominance of physical interactions. The molecular chemical reactivity of BY2 was investigated using quantum chemical descriptors calculated based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) optimization of the dye molecule, and the results revealed a large energy gap value (4.3900 eV) and considerable chemical hardness (η = 2.1950 eV). Therefore, the correlation between DFT and experimental results consistently sustains that BY2 dye tends to be adsorbed on the CBA surface by electrostatic interactions, thus, this is the possible adsorption mechanism of this process.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS)/carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) porous hydrogels chemically crosslinked by epichlorohydrin were synthesized using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a pore-forming agent for anionic (Congo red, CR) and cationic (methylene blue, MB) dyes removal from aqueous solutions. The swelling ratio of hydrogels prepared with 2 % CS and 2 % CMC (CS2/CMC2) exhibited optimal performance at different pHs. The addition of PEG into hydrogels (denoted as CS2/CMC2-PEG1.25) exhibited a significantly higher adsorption for CR and MB, increasing from 117.83 to 159.12 mg/g and 110.2 to 136 mg/g, respectively. The comprehensive analyses of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermalgravimetric study and scanning electron microscopy showed that CS2/CMC2-PEG1.25 hydrogels became more porous with no significant changes in intermolecular and intramolecular interactions, compared with CS2/CMC2 hydrogels. The adsorption process for CR and MB conformed to the pseudo-second-order and pseudo-first-order kinetics models, respectively. The results of adsorption isotherm for CR followed both Freundlich and Langmuir models with the maximum adsorption capacities of 1053.88 mg/g, whereas the isotherm for MB fitted the Langmuir model better with the maximum adsorption capacities of 331.72 mg/g. The thermodynamic study results proved that the CR and MB adsorption by hydrogels was spontaneous, but the CR adsorption was endothermic and the MB adsorption was exothermic.

Abstract
The present study reports the feasibility of the synthesis of a novel porous composite adsorbent, prepared from olive stone activated carbon (OS400) and garnet (GA) mineral impregnations (referred to as OSMG). This composite (OSMG) was applied for its ability to adsorb a macromolecular organic dye. The composite's structural characteristics were evaluated using various techniques such as Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Scanning Electron Microscopy equipped with Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR). The specific surface area of the garnet (GA), (OS400), and (OSMG) were found to be 5.157 mg⋅g-1, 1489.598 mg⋅g-1, and 546.392 mg⋅g-1, respectively. The specific surface area of the new composite (OSMG) was promoted to enhance the adsorption of methylene blue (MB). Experiments were conducted under various conditions, including contact time, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dosage, pH, and temperatures. Data from these experiments were analyzed using several adsorption models including Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R). The results indicated that, the adsorption fit best with the Freundlich model and that the adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic mechanism. Additionally, the thermodynamic analysis indicated the adsorption of MB onto garnet(GA) adsorbents is endothermic, while the sorption onto (OS400) and (OSMG) is an exothermic and non-spontaneous process. The OSMG composite can be used for at least five cycles without significant loss of adsorptive performance, and can easily be separated from the water after treatment.

Recycled Smelter Slags for In Situ and Ex Situ Water and Wastewater Treatment—Current Knowledge and Opportunities. Processes (Basel) 2023.

Abstract
Slags from the ferrous and nonferrous metallurgical industries have been used to treat toxic contaminants in water and wastewater. Using slag as a recycling or renewable resource rather than a waste product has environmental and economic benefits. Recycled smelter slags can be used in both in situ and ex situ treatment. However, their application has some limitations. One of the challenges is how to handle spent slag adsorbents, as they contain the accumulation of solid waste loaded with high concentrations of toxic contaminants. These challenges can be overcome by regeneration, recycling, reuse, and immobilization treatment of spent slag adsorbents. The present paper explored the scientific and technical information about the composition, reaction mechanisms, adsorption capacity, and opportunities of recycled slags while adsorbing toxic compounds from contaminated water. It comprehensively reviewed the current state of the art for using smelting slags as sustainable adsorbents for water and wastewater. The study revealed that ferrous slags are more effective in removing a wide range of toxic chemicals than nonferrous smelter slags. It investigated the necessary improved approach through the 5Rs (i.e., reduce, reuse, recycle, remove, and recover) using smelter slags as reactive materials in ex situ and in situ treatment.

Abstract
The wide spread of phenols and their toxicity in the environment pose a severe threat to the existence and sustainability of living organisms. Rapid detection of these pollutants in wastewaters has attracted the attention of researchers from various fields of environmental science and engineering. Discoveries regarding materials and method developments are deemed necessary for the effective detection and remediation of wastewater. Although various advanced materials such as organic and inorganic materials have been developed, secondary pollution due to material leaching has become a major concern. Therefore, a natural-based material is preferable. Clay is one of the potential natural-based sorbents for the detection and remediation of phenols. It has a high porosity and polarity, good mechanical strength, moisture resistance, chemical and thermal stability, and cation exchange capacity, which will benefit the detection and adsorptive removal of phenols. Several attempts have been made to improve the capabilities of natural clay as sorbent. This manuscript will discuss the potential of clays as sorbents for the remediation of phenols. The activation, modification, and application of clays have been discussed. The achievements, challenges, and concluding remarks were provided.

Abstract
In this work, a cyclic voltammetry analysis for the detection of Ascorbic Acid (AA) based on a carbon-clay paste electrode modified with titanium dioxide (CPEA/TiO2) is presented. The electrochemical sensor was prepared using clay and carbon graphite, mixed with TiO2 to investigate the electrode behavior towards the detection of AA. Comprehensive characterization approaches including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Selected area electron diffraction (SAED), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) were carried out on different samples. The results indicated that, the electrode has been effectively modified, while the electrochemical parameters of AA on CPEA/TiO2/UV such as the charge transfer coefficient (α a ), number of electrons (n) transferred and standard potential were calculated. CPEA/TiO2/UV exhibit better photoactivity and also higher electronic conductivity under light radiation (100 W). The linear range for AA was determined between 0.150μM and 0.850 μM with the straight-line equation equivalent to I p a ( μ A ) = 2.244 [ A A ] + 1.234 (n = 8, R2 = 0.993). The limit of detection was 0.732 μM (3σ) and limit of quantification was 2.440 μM. For the analytical applications, pharmaceutical tablets such as Chloroquine phosphate, Azithromycin and Hydroxychloroquine sulfate were performed. In addition, interference study in the analytical application was performed, and it was found that the electroanalytical method used can be well adopted for simultaneous electrochemical detection of AA and Azithromycin.

[PMID: 36770748 PMCID: PMC9918932 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28031081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 30.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Dye and nitro-compound pollution has become a significant issue worldwide. The adsorption and degradation of dyes and nitro-compounds have recently become important areas of study. Different methods, such as precipitation, flocculation, ultra-filtration, ion exchange, coagulation, and electro-catalytic degradation have been adopted for the adsorption and degradation of these organic pollutants. Apart from these methods, adsorption, photocatalytic degradation, and chemical degradation are considered the most economical and efficient to control water pollution from dyes and nitro-compounds. In this review, different kinds of dyes and nitro-compounds, and their adverse effects on aquatic organisms and human beings, were summarized in depth. This review article covers the comprehensive analysis of the adsorption of dyes over different materials (porous polymer, carbon-based materials, clay-based materials, layer double hydroxides, metal-organic frameworks, and biosorbents). The mechanism and kinetics of dye adsorption were the central parts of this study. The structures of all the materials mentioned above were discussed, along with their main functional groups responsible for dye adsorption. Removal and degradation methods, such as adsorption, photocatalytic degradation, and chemical degradation of dyes and nitro-compounds were also the main aim of this review article, as well as the materials used for such degradation. The mechanisms of photocatalytic and chemical degradation were also explained comprehensively. Different factors responsible for adsorption, photocatalytic degradation, and chemical degradation were also highlighted. Advantages and disadvantages, as well as economic cost, were also discussed briefly. This review will be beneficial for the reader as it covers all aspects of dye adsorption and the degradation of dyes and nitro-compounds. Future aspects and shortcomings were also part of this review article. There are several review articles on all these topics, but such a comprehensive study has not been performed so far in the literature.

Benzothiophene Adsorptive Desulfurization onto trihexYl(tetradecyl)phosphonium Dicyanamide Ionic-Liquid-Modified Renewable Carbon: Kinetic, Equilibrium and UV Spectroscopy Investigations. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 28:molecules28010298. [PMID: 36615492 PMCID: PMC9821798 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28010298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
The negative environmental and industrial impacts of the presence of sulfur compounds such as benzothiophene in fuels have led to a greater interest in desulfurization research. In this work, carbon from palm waste sources was modified with trihexYl(tetradecyl)phosphonium dicyanamide-ionic liquid and characterized by SEM, EDS, XRD and FTIR to assess surface properties. Then, the prepared carbon and carbon modified with ionic liquid were evaluated for the adsorption of benzothiophene by investigating the effects of time. The equilibrium occurred after 120 min, recording adsorption capacities of 192 and 238 mg/g for carbon and carbon modified with ionic liquid, respectively. The effect of the adsorbent dose on the adsorption of benzothiophene was evaluated, indicating that the maximum adsorption capacities were obtained using a dose of 1 g/L for both carbon and carbon modified with ionic liquid. The kinetic investigation for the adsorption of benzothiophene onto carbon and carbon modified with ionic liquid indicated that the second-order kinetic model is well fitted with the adsorption data rather than the first-order kinetic model. The equilibrium investigations for the adsorption of benzothiophene onto carbon and carbon modified with ionic liquid with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models reveals that the Freundlich model is the most suitable for describing the adsorption process, suggesting a multilayer adsorption mechanism. The desulfurization process showed a high impact on environmental safety due to the possibility of regenerating and reusing the prepared adsorbents with promising results up to five cycles.

Abstract
The goal of this study is to assess Ziziphus lotus's potential for producing carboxymethylcellulose adsorption membranes with the ability to adsorb methyl green from wastewaters by the revalorization of its cellulosic fraction. The cellulose from this feedstock was extracted by an alkaline process and TAPPI standard technique T 203 cm-99 and afterwards they were carboxymethylated. The obtained carboxymethylcelluloses were deeply characterized, being observed that the carboxymethylcellulose produced from the alkaline cellulose presented the higher solubility due to its lower crystallinity degree (53.31 vs. 59.4%) and its higher substitution degree (0.85 vs. 0.74). This carboxymethylcellulose was cross-linked with citric acid in an aqueous treatment in order to form an adsorption membrane. The citric acid provided rigidity to the membrane and although it was hydrophilic it was not soluble in water. By evaluating the potential of the produced membrane for the removal of pollutant dyes from wastewater, it was observed that the adsorption membrane prepared from the carboxymethylcellulose's produced from the Ziziphus lotus was able to remove 99% of the dye, methyl green, present in the wastewater. Thus, this work demonstrates the potential of the Ziziphus lotus for the production of a novel and cost-effective carboxymethylcellulose adsorption membrane with high capacity to treat wastewaters.

Abstract
ABSTRACTThe combined approach of specific surface area (SSA), porosity, microprobe analysis (EMPA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with EDX and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) provided the mica mineral physico-chemical and morphological characterisation. The electrostatic surface properties were assessed through the determination of the Point of Zero Charge (pHPZC) by the drift method and the electrokinetic mica mineral features represented by the Isoelectric Point (pHIEP) which was carried out through zeta potential measurements. Adsorption tests were performed to correlate the surface charge behaviour of the mica mineral and its influence on the adsorption efficiency of two different dyes, namely: Safranin Orange (SO), as a cationic dye and Reactive Black 5 (RB5), as an anionic dye. The higher adsorption capacity SO dye was observed at pH 9 and achieved almost 83% of removal, while RB5 dye adsorption on mica surface had the highest result, about 45% of removal efficiency, on pH of 3. In both cases, the main mechanism identified that drove this results is the electrostatic force of attraction between the adsorbent edge surface charge (pH-dependent) and the ionic nature (anionic or cationic) of the pollutant dyes particles. The preliminary adsorption experiments demonstrated that the raw grounded mica mineral has a greater potential associated with its application on cationic dye removal in wastewater. The present study aimed to detail the main characteristics of the mica mineral in order to evaluate the potential use of such mineral residues in the removal efficiency of contaminated wastewater.

Abstract
A two-phase separation method called cloud point extraction (CPE) does not use hazardous or flammable organic solvents. The efficient removal of the dye Reactive Black-5 (RB-5) from an aqueous solution using Triton X-114, a nonionic surfactant, is described in this study. Three-level factorial design and response-surface methods were used to quantify the impact of process variables on the CPE process, such as operating temperature and surfactant concentration. Investigations were conducted into how these process variables affected the ratio between the phase volumes, the concentration of dye in the surfactant-rich phase, and the residual amounts of dye in the diluted phase. As a result, ANOVA was used to create and validate mathematical models. The findings demonstrated that the correlation coefficients (R2) exceeded 0.98. The acquired findings showed that the suggested extraction process is efficient, and the proposed CPE approach removes 98% of the RB-5 dye under optimal conditions.

Abstract
The current study reports a facile method to fabricate functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes and montmorillonite clay mineral-based nano-composite matrix and its detailed characterization using spectroscopic and morphological techniques. The nanocomposites have been studied for their potential applications in the treatment of contaminated water using batch adsorption studies. The investigations conducted using optical absorption spectroscopic measurements for the adsorption process indicate that the nanocomposite matrix can effectively remove almost 98% of the dye from aqueous solution. The nanocomposites have showed fast and strong adsorption behaviour for the dye with the maximum adsorption capacity (qm ) of ~ 467.3 mg g-1 in 25 min. The experimental data at equilibrium were also correlated with the theoretical adsorption isotherm and kinetic models. The results demonstrate that the experimental data fits well to the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model and conforms to second order kinetics. Furthermore, the nanocomposite exhibits good recyclability without any marked decrease in the adsorption performance even after five adsorption cycles of usage which indicates its potential application as reusable adsorbent for the efficient removal of hazardous dyes from contaminated water.

Abstract
In recent times, biopolymer-metal oxide nanocomposites have gained prominent importance in the attenuation of environmental toxicants from aqueous phase. But lanthanide oxide-based biopolymer nanocomposites have scantly been evaluated for their adsorption potential. A novel guar gum-polyacrylamide/erbium oxide nanocomposite (GG-PAAm/Er2O3 NC) adsorbent was synthesized by copolymerization of guar gum (GG) and acrylamide (AAm) utilizing N-N′-methylenebisacrylamide as a crosslinker and Er2O3 as a reinforcing agent. The adsorptive efficacy of GG-PAAm/Er2O3 nanocomposite was evaluated using nile blue (NB) as a model pollutant dye from aquatic system. The prepared adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDX), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The optimal process parameters, which include dosage (0.8 g/L), agitation time (40 min), initial solution pH (6), and initial NB concentration (80 mg/L) were determined by batch methodology. The equilibrium data for NB confiscation was better expressed by Langmuir isotherm model, with maximal adsorption effectiveness (Qm) of 225.88 mg NB/g demonstrating the actively monolayer adsorption onto homogeneous surface of GG-PAAm/Er2O3 NC. The kinetics of NB sorption process onto GG-PAAm/Er2O3 NC was reliable with pseudo-second order model. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔH° (15–17 kJ/mol) and ΔS° (0.079–0.087 kJ/mol/K), and − ΔG° (8.81–10.55 kJ/mol) for NB validated the endothermic, an increased randomness at the GG-PAAm/Er2O3–NB interface, and spontaneity and feasibility of the process, respectively. The spent nanocomposite was effectively regenerated with NaOH, and could be reused proficiently for five runs demonstrating the high reusability potential of the nanocomposite. The commendable removal efficiency and high reusability of GG-PAAm/Er2O3 NC recommended it to be a highly competent adsorbent for cationic dyes particularly NB diminution from aqueous waste.

Abstract
The provision of clean water is still a major challenge in developing parts of the world, as emphasized by the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 6), and has remained a subject of extensive research globally. Advancements in science and industry have resulted in a massive surge in the amount of industrial chemicals produced within the last few decades. Persistent and emerging organic pollutants are detected in aquatic environments, and conventional wastewater treatment plants have ineffectively handled these trace, bioaccumulative and toxic compounds. Therefore, we have conducted an extensive bibliometric analysis of different materials utilized to combat organic pollutants via adsorption and photocatalysis. The classes of pollutants, material synthesis, mechanisms of interaction, merits, and challenges were comprehensively discussed. The paper highlights the advantages of various materials used in the removal of hazardous pollutants from wastewater with activated carbon having the highest adsorption capacity. Dyes, pharmaceuticals, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, pesticides and other recalcitrant organic pollutants have been successfully removed at high degradation efficiencies through the photocatalytic process. The photocatalytic degradation and adsorption processes were compared by considering factors such as cost, efficiency, ease of application and reusability. This review will be good resource material for water treatment professionals/scientists, who may be interested in adsorptive and photocatalytic remediation of organic chemicals pollutants.

Abstract
Over 80% of wastewater worldwide is released into the environment without proper treatment. Whilst environmental pollution continues to intensify due to the increase in the number of polluting industries, conventional techniques employed to clean the environment are poorly effective and are expensive. MXenes are a new class of 2D materials that have received a lot of attention for an extensive range of applications due to their tuneable interlayer spacing and tailorable surface chemistry. Several MXene-based nanomaterials with remarkable properties have been proposed, synthesized, and used in environmental remediation applications. In this work, a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art research progress on the promising potential of surface functionalized MXenes as photocatalysts, adsorbents, and membranes for wastewater treatment is presented. The sources, composition, and effects of wastewater on human health and the environment are displayed. Furthermore, the synthesis, surface functionalization, and characterization techniques of merit used in the study of MXenes are discussed, detailing the effects of a range of factors (e.g., PH, temperature, precursor, etc.) on the synthesis, surface functionalization, and performance of the resulting MXenes. Finally, the limits of MXenes and MXene-based materials as well as their potential future research directions, especially for wastewater treatment applications are highlighted.

Gkika DA, Mitropoulos AC, Kyzas GZ. Why reuse spent adsorbents? The latest challenges and limitations. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 822:153612. [PMID: 35114231 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2021] [Revised: 01/24/2022] [Accepted: 01/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Despite the abundance of published reviews over the last few years, the inconsistent data representation in regards to the use of adsorbents in each work, renders the task of comparing them challenging. Disposing the adsorbent may have adverse environmental impact, which should be mitigated through regeneration and reuse processes, such as desorption. This review discusses how the importance of desorption and regeneration equates that of the adsorption stage, and presents various regeneration methods as well as the influencing parameters, advantages, and disadvantages thereof. For the purposes of this work, the adsorbents have been categorized into four groups: (i) graphene, (ii) carbon nanotubes, (iii) activated carbon compounds and (iv) clays and polymer adsorbents as representatives in order to further study their desorption and regeneration abilities, using a variety of desorption media/eluants. The process conditions, such as pH, dose required, concentration, adsorption ability and the cost of the adsorbents were examined for further analysis. The recovery efficiency and ability to get reused through the desorption process was also evaluated. The highest adsorption capacity was observed for graphene-based adsorbents reaching between 108 and >480 mg/g, and for activated carbon materials ranging from 34 to >384 mg/g, whereas carbon nanotubes and polymer-based adsorbents indicated rather low and greatly varying adsorption capacities, between 1 and >138 mg/g and between 7 and >57 mg/g, respectively. Most of the reviewed cases appear to fit the pseudo-second order (PSO) kinetic model. These materials have demonstrated a removal effectiveness between 71% and 99%. Overall, all the aforementioned adsorbents share the advantage of being highly reusable.

Recovery, regeneration and sustainable management of spent adsorbents from wastewater treatment streams: A review. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 822:153555. [PMID: 35104528 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 83] [Impact Index Per Article: 41.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Revised: 01/26/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 04/15/2023]
Abstract
Adsorption is the most widely adopted, effective, and reliable treatment process for the removal of inorganic and organic contaminants from wastewater. One of the major issues with the adsorption-treatment process for the removal of contaminants from wastewater streams is the recovery and sustainable management of spent adsorbents. This review focuses on the effectiveness of emerging adsorbents and how the spent adsorbents could be recovered, regenerated, and further managed through reuse or safe disposal. The critical analysis of both conventional and emerging adsorbents on organic and inorganic contaminants in wastewater systems are evaluated. The various recovery and regeneration techniques of spent adsorbents including magnetic separation, filtration, thermal desorption and decomposition, chemical desorption, supercritical fluid desorption, advanced oxidation process and microbial assisted adsorbent regeneration are discussed in detail. The current challenges for the recovery and regeneration of adsorbents and the methodologies used for solving those problems are covered. The spent adsorbents are managed through regeneration for reuse (such as soil amendment, capacitor, catalyst/catalyst support) or safe disposal involving incineration and landfilling. Sustainable management of spent adsorbents, including processes involved in the recovery and regeneration of adsorbents for reuse, is examined in the context of resource recovery and circular economy. Finally, the review ends with the current drawbacks in the recovery and management of the spent adsorbents and the future directions for the economic and environmental feasibility of the system for industrial-scale application.

[PMID: 34428450 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2021.111916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2021] [Revised: 08/14/2021] [Accepted: 08/17/2021] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
Management of basic natural resources and the spent industrial and domestic streams to provide a sustainable safe environment for healthy living is a magnum challenge to scientists and environmentalists. The present remedial approach to the wastewater focuses on recovering pure water for reuse and converting the contaminants into a solid matrix for permanent land disposal. However, the ground water aquifers, over a long period slowly leach the contaminants consequently polluting the ground water. Synthetic adsorbents, mainly consisting of polymeric resins, chelating agents, etc. are efficient and have high specificity, but ultimate disposal is a challenge as most of these materials are non-biodegradable. In this context, it is felt appropriate to review the utility of adsorbents based on natural green materials such as agricultural waste and restricted to few model contaminants: phenols, and heavy metals chromium(VI), and cadmium(II) in view of the vast amount of literature available. The article discusses the features of the agricultural waste material-based adsorbents including the mechanism. It is inferred that agricultural waste materials are some of the common renewable sources available across the globe and can be used as sustainable adsorbents. A discussion on challenges for industrial scale implementation and integration with advanced technologies like magnetic-based approaches and nanotechnology to improve the removal efficiency is included for future prospects.
