CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 352:141350. [PMID: 38309601 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141350] [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: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
Excessive phosphorus (P) enters the water bodies via wastewater discharges or agricultural runoff, triggering serious environmental problems such as eutrophication. In contrast, P as an irreplaceable key resource, presents notable supply-demand contradictions due to ineffective recovery mechanisms. Hence, constructing a system that simultaneously reduce P contaminants and effective recycling has profound theoretical and practical implications. Metal element-based adsorbents, including metal (hydro) oxides, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), exhibit a significant chaperone effect stemming from strong orbital hybridization between their intrinsic Lewis acid sites and P (Lewis base). This review aims to parse the structure-effect relationship between metal element-based adsorbents and P, and explores how to optimize the P removal properties. Special emphasis is given to the formation of the metal-P chemical bond, which not only depends on the type of metal in the adsorbent but also closely relates to its surface activity and pore structure. Then, we delve into the intrinsic mechanisms behind these adsorbents' remarkable adsorption capacity and precise targeting. Finally, we offer an insightful discussion of the prospects and challenges of metal element-based adsorbents in terms of precise material control, large-scale production, P-directed adsorption and effective utilization.

Abstract
This research evaluated the metal-sulfide mineral, sphalerite, as an electron donor for autotrophic denitrification, with and without oyster shells (OS). Batch reactors containing sphalerite simultaneously removed NO3- and PO43- from groundwater. OS addition minimized NO2- accumulation and removed 100% PO43- in approximately half the time compared with sphalerite alone. Further investigation using domestic wastewater revealed that sphalerite and OS removed NO3- at a rate of 0.76 ± 0.36 mg NO3--N/(L · d), while maintaining consistent PO43- removal (∼97%) over 140 days. Increasing the sphalerite and OS dose did not improve the denitrification rate. 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing indicated that sulfur-oxidizing species of Chromatiales, Burkholderiales, and Thiobacillus played a role in N removal during sphalerite autotrophic denitrification. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of N removal during sphalerite autotrophic denitrification, which was previously unknown. Knowledge from this work could be used to develop novel technologies for addressing nutrient pollution.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 867:161530. [PMID: 36638994 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.161530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Breaking the technical bottleneck of traditional powdered adsorbent in phosphate adsorption application treatment, a macroscopic high adsorption performance aluminum sludge-based composite hydrogel material was constructed to synergistically solve the problems of water eutrophication and aluminum sludge resourcization. In this study, porous Ce-modified aluminum sludge hydrogel microspheres (Ce-AlS-SA) were prepared to improve the surface chemical structure and microscopic morphology of the macroscopic adsorbent material to enhance the adsorption capacity and achieve effective solid-liquid separation. The best adsorption performance of the material (Ce-AlS12-SA1) was obtained when the Ce-AlS: SA: Na2CO3 was 12:1:1, and obtained the optimal adsorption conditions by Response Surface Method (RSM) with 1.5 mg/L of the dosage, 4 of pH and 50 mg/L of Cphosphate. The maximum adsorption of 20.36 mg P/g was obtained by the Langmuir model at 303 K, which was 2.92 times more than raw sludge. According to the Freundlich and pseudo-second-order kinetic model, the adsorption process is chemisorption; the multi-stage adsorption process is reflected in the intraparticle diffusion and film diffusion models. The main mechanisms combined with the characterization analysis are electrostatic gravity, ligand exchange, and inner-sphere complexation. Meanwhile, Ce-AlS12-SA1 shows good resistance to interference in the coexistence of multiple ions. Therefore, this material can be recognized as a new material with in-depth, diversified and practical needs for resourceful utilization, which is expected to achieve extensive engineering applications in the future.

Abstract
Zeolite supported amorphous metal oxide nanolayers with high specific surface area, abundant adsorption sites, and excellent reusability hold a bright prospect in the efficient removal of contaminants, yet it is proven to be still challenging to precisely regulate and control their synthesis. Herein, we reported a facile synthetic strategy for rational design and achieving the uniform and firm in situ growth of an amorphous ZrO2 layer decorated on the surface of zeolite (ZEO@AZ) for enhanced phosphate adsorption. The Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second order kinetic equation well described the adsorption process towards phosphate solution, and the synthetized ZEO@AZ exhibited an excellent maximum adsorption amount of 24.98 mgP g-1. Furthermore, the adsorption of phosphates on ZEO@AZ was confirmed to be chemisorption, endothermic and spontaneous. This approach for fabricating amorphous metal oxide nanolayers on a robust matrix may provide a new route for constructing composites with superb phosphate adsorption performance.

Enhanced removal of P(V), Mo(VI) and W(VI) generated oxyanions using Fe-MOF as adsorbent from hydrometallurgical waste liquid: Exploring the influence of ionic polymerization. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 427:128168. [PMID: 34974403 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.128168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2021] [Revised: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 12/26/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Environmentally hazardous P(V), Mo(VI) and W(VI) generated oxyanions exist widely in the waste liquid of nonferrous hydrometallurgy. In this work, Fe-MOF material was simply prepared via solvothermal synthesis and then used as an adsorbent to remove P(V), Mo(VI) and W(VI) oxyanions from hydrometallurgical waste liquid. Several important parameters, including solution pH, oxyanion concentration, contact time, adsorbent amount, temperature and coexistent heavy metal ions, were systematically investigated. The results demonstrate that adsorption process was almost pH-independent over a broad range of pH 3.0-10.0. The adsorption efficiency was strongly associated with the chemical species of oxyanions. The higher polymerisation degree of oxyanions was more favourable for removal efficiency. Additionally, the maximum removal efficiencies for P(V), Mo(VI) and W(VI) oxyanions under optimum conditions were approximately 100%. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetics and isotherms of oxyanions on the adsorbent separately belonged to the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models. XPS analysis revealed that inner-sphere complexation played a dominant role in the adsorption removal process. Fe-MOFs with pH-independent properties, abundant binding sites and high stability are prospective adsorbents for treating waste liquids in the hydrometallurgical industry.
