Abstract
Solar interface evaporation is an effective method for the treatment of water that has low energy consumption. Adsorption is recognized to be one of the most stable wastewater treatment methods and is widely used. Combining solar interface evaporation with adsorption provides a novel and low-cost approach for the efficient removal of heavy metals and organic pollutants from industrial wastewater. This paper reviews the characteristics and application of some common wastewater treatment methods. The photothermal conversion and the conceptual design of interface evaporation combined with adsorption are introduced and the photo-thermal conversion and adsorption methods are discussed. The study provides a summary of recent studies and advancements in interfacial evaporation-coupled adsorption materials, which include hydrogels, aerogels, and biomass materials for adsorption, and carbon materials for photothermal conversion. Finally, the current challenges encountered in industrial wastewater treatment are outlined and its prospects are discussed. The aim of this review is to explore a wide range of possibilities with the interfacial evaporation-coupled adsorption method and propose a new low-cost and high-efficiency method for industrial wastewater treatment.

Excellent Dark/Light Dual-Mode Photoresponsive Activities Based on g-C 3N 4/CMCh/PVA Nanocomposite Hydrogel Using Electron Beam Radiation Method. Molecules 2023; 28:7544. [PMID: 38005263 PMCID: PMC10674341 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28227544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Photocatalytic technology for inactivating bacteria in water has received much attention. In this study, we reported a dark-light dual-mode sterilized g-C3N4/chitosan/poly (vinyl alcohol) hydrogel (g-CP) prepared through freeze-thaw cycling and an in situ electron-beam radiation method. The structures and morphologies of g-CP were confirmed using Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), solid ultraviolet diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). Photocatalytic degradation experiments demonstrated that 1 wt% g-CP degraded rhodamine B (RhB) up to 65.92% in 60 min. At the same time, g-CP had good antimicrobial abilities for Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) within 4 h. The shapes of g-CP were adjustable (such as bar, cylinder, and cube) and had good mechanical properties and biocompatibility. The tensile and compressive modulus of 2 wt% g-CP were 0.093 MPa and 1.61 MPa, respectively. The Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) test and Hoechst33342/PI double staining were used to prove that g-CP had good biocompatibility. It is expected to be applied to environmental sewage treatment and wound dressing in the future.

Acetaminophen adsorption to spherical carbons hydrothermally synthesized from sucrose: experimental, molecular, and mathematical modeling studies. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:49703-49719. [PMID: 36780080 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-25815-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 02/05/2023] [Indexed: 02/14/2023]
Abstract
Acetaminophen (AAP) is an analgesic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and a micropollutant that has been detected in waterbodies worldwide. Here, we explore the characteristics of AAP adsorption onto spherical carbons (SCs) hydrothermally synthesized from pure sucrose as a carbon source. In one-factor-at-a-time experiments, the adsorption capacity of AAP remained relatively constant between pH 2 and 10 but became negligible at pH 12. The Raman, FTIR, and XPS spectra illustrate that hydrogen bonding, π-π interactions, and n-π* interactions could contribute to the AAP adsorption onto the SCs. CHEM3D modeling was used to explore hydrogen-bond formation, π-π interactions, n-π* interactions, and electrostatic repulsion between AAP and the SCs. In view of the pHpzc of the SCs (3.1) and the pKa of AAP (10.96), electrostatic repulsion could occur between negatively charged SCs and anionic AAP above pH 10. In consideration of the average pore diameter of the SCs (1.89 nm) and the AAP molecular size (8.94 Å × 7.95 Å × 4.93 Å), a pore-filling mechanism could contribute to the adsorption. A pseudo-second-order model was best fitted to the kinetic data (equilibrium time = 6 h), whereas the Liu isotherm was most suitable for the equilibrium data (maximum adsorption capacity = 92.0 mg/g). Adsorption of AAP to the SCs was exothermic at 10-40 °C. The SCs were regenerated and reused for AAP adsorption using a methanol. Multiple-factor-at-once (MFAO) experiments (input variables: pH, temperature, adsorbent dosage, and initial AAP concentration; output: AAP adsorption capacity) were used to develop response surface methodology (RSM, quartic regression) and artificial neural network (ANN, topology 4:11:9:1) models. Analyses using additional MFAO experimental data reveal that the predictive ability of the ANN model (R2 = 0.890) was better than that of the RSM model (R2 = 0.764). Based on the weight values of the ANN model, the relative importance of the input variables on the output was quantified in the order of initial AAP concentration (100%) > adsorbent dosage (92.3%) > temperature (77.6%) > pH (43.6%).

CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 311:137074.

Abstract
Ibuprofen (IPF) is one of the most prescribed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in recent times, but it is not readily removed in conventional wastewater treatments. Here, we investigate the adsorption characteristics of IPF onto calcined spherical hydrochar (CSH), which was synthesized through hydrothermal carbonization of sucrose followed by calcination. The adsorption experiments show that the equilibration time for IPF was 360 min, and a pseudo-second-order model was best fitted to the kinetic data. The isotherm data were best described by the Liu model with a theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of 95.6 mg/g. The thermodynamic data indicate the endothermic nature of the adsorption at 10-40 °C. The CSH was favorably regenerated and reused using methanol. In pH experiments, the IPF adsorption capacity declined gradually as pH rose from 2 to 8, dropped rapidly at pH 10, and became negligible at pH 12. The IPF adsorption to the CSH could occur through various adsorption mechanisms. Hydrogen-bond formation, π-π interactions, n-π* interactions, and electrostatic repulsion were explored and visualized with molecular modeling using CHEM3D. The Raman, FTIR, and XPS spectra suggest that π-π interactions could take place between the CSH and IPF. Considering the pKa value of IPF (4.91) and pHiep of the CSH (3.21), electrostatic repulsion between the negatively-charged CSH and anionic IPF could play a negative role in the adsorption. A pore-filling mechanism could contribute to the adsorption in view of the molecular size of IPF (9.43 Å × 7.75 Å × 6.23 Å) and the average pore diameter of the CSH (2.27 nm). In addition, hydrophobic interactions could be involved in the adsorption. Multi-factor adsorption experiments were executed with pH, temperature, CSH dosage, and initial IPF concentrations as input variables and IPF removal rate as an output variable, and an artificial neural network (ANN) model with a topology of 4:9:11:1 was developed to sufficiently describe the adsorption data (R > 0.99). Further analyses with additional experimental data confirm that the ANN model possessed good predictability for multi-factor adsorption.

Abstract
Effective removal of nitrogen from coking wastewaters is a great challenge, since conventional biological technologies commonly suffer from concentrated bio-toxic components such as phenolic compounds and thiocyanide (SCN-). This study has successfully developed a novel ternary process for efficiently removing nitrogen from a practical coking wastewater, by rationally combined biological pretreatment, Fenton sub-pretreatment and final partial nitrification-denitrification (PN) process. It was noted that the oxic biological pretreatment (OP) could degrade above 80 % of COD and SCN- in the wastewater, by adopting the pristine coking wastewater sludge. Fenton sub-pretreatment would further degrade the residual toxic organics and protect the metabolic activity of nitrobacteria and denitrobacteria, realizing the efficient removal of NH4+-N and TN that occurred in the final PN process with self-cultivated sludge. This work can provide an interesting strategy by rationally combining biological-physicochemical processes for nitrogen removal in toxic industrial wastewaters.

Abstract
Natural iron oxides nanomaterials have important roles in biogeochemical processes. In this study, the effects of pH, natural organic matter, and cations on aggregation and sedimentation of natural goethite and artificial Fe3O4 nanoparticles in water were investigated to learn more about the environmental behaviors of engineered and natural nanomaterials and how they differ. In addition, a novel extended DLVO theory that considered steric, gravitational, and magnetic attraction forces concurrently was specifically developed to provide mechanisms explanations. Specifically, Fe3O4 NPs were more likely than bulk goethite to aggregate (because of magnetic attraction interactions) at low HA concentrations and disperse at high HA concentrations. Besides, goethite was less prone to settle with the same concentration of NaCl than Fe3O4 NPs, but the opposite trend was found for the same concentration of CaCl2 because of the difference in maximum net energy (barrier) and strong Ca2+ bridging effectiveness of goethite in CaCl2 solution. Statistical models were established to evaluate colloidal stability of the particles. XPS and molecular dynamics simulation results suggested that ions were adsorbed onto particles via ionic polarization and that the binding free energies at high coverage followed the order Ca2+ > Na+ > Cl- and presence of cation bridging between particles.

Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials (CBNMs) have attracted significant alert due to the affluent science underpinning their implementations associated with a novel mixture of high aspect proportions, greater thermal and electrical performance, outstanding optical features, and high exterior area. CBNMs not only bear assurance in a broad range of implementations in medication, nano and microelectronics, and ecological remedies but may also be utilized in practical laboratory determinations. More specifically, CBNMs perform as an outstanding adsorbent in terminating heavy metal ions (HMI) from wastewater. There is presently a deficiency of powerful threat inspection instruments owing to their complex detection and related deficit in the health risk database. Therefore, our present review concentrates on spreading CBNMs to release pollutants from wastewater. The article wraps the effect of these contaminants and photocatalytic strategies towards treating these mixtures in wastewater, along with their restrictions and challenges, convincing resolutions, and possibilities of these approaches.

Abstract
The deep removal of quinoline from coking wastewater is a prerequisite for reducing its potential threat to environmental safety. Therefore, it is urgent to develop advanced materials for efficient removal of quinoline in wastewater. In this work, a nitrogen-doped hollow carbon nanosphere/graphene composite aerogel (HCNS/NGA) was prepared by in-situ reduction self-assembly strategy, in which HCNS prevents the agglomeration of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets, and a special sphere-sheet mutual support structure is formed to ensure the structural stability. As-prepared HCNS/NGA exhibits large specific surface area, hierarchical pore structure, and excellent conductivity. Large cavity inside and hierarchically porous structure that primarily consists of micropores, resulting in high quinoline adsorption performance (138.37 ± 2.58 mg g-1 at 298 K). Furthermore, in a fixed-bed column adsorption system, the partition coefficient at 10% breakthrough reaches up to 35.19 mg g-1 μM-1. More importantly, HCNS/NGA, as a conductive monolithic sorbent, can realize easy solid-liquid separation, as well as efficient regeneration in situ by electrochemically assisted regeneration. After ten regeneration cycles, the adsorption capacity retention is 91.54%. In short, as an efficient adsorbent, HCNS/NGA has an enormous application potential in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The release of antibiotics into the water environment can pose a serious threat to human and ecological health, so it is of great significance to effectively remove antibiotics from wastewater. In this work, porphyrinic zirconium metal-organic framework material, PCN-224, was first explored for the adsorption removal of antibiotics from water using tetracycline (TC) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) as examples. We prepared a series of PCN-224 with different particle sizes (150 nm, 300 nm, 500 nm, and 6 μm). Benefiting from the huge surface area (1616 m2 g-1), the 300 nm-PCN-224 sample had the best adsorption properties for TC and CIP. Remarkably, it exhibits fast removal rates and high adsorption capacities of 354.81 and 207.16 mg g-1 for TC and CIP, respectively. The adsorption of TC and CIP in 300 nm-PCN-224 is consistent with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model, which indicates that the adsorption can be regarded as homogeneous monolayer chemisorption, and the adsorption is exothermic, which has been confirmed by thermodynamic studies. Under visible-light irradiation, 300 nm-PCN-224 exhibited high photocatalytic activity for TC and CIP. The adsorption studies confirmed that the adsorption of adsorbates takes place via the formation of hydrogen bonding, π-π interactions, and electrostatic attraction. In addition, the adsorbent can be simply regenerated by photocatalysis under visible light, and the adsorption-desorption efficiency is still above 85% after repeated use five times. The work of MOFs to remove antibiotics from water shows that MOFs have great potential in this field and are worthy of further study.
