Abstract
In this study, graphene-like biochar (IZBC) was prepared by pyrolysis of wheat straw in the presence of catalyst and activator. The formation of graphene in IZBC could be divided into three stages: shell core generation, carburization, and carbon precipitation. When the pyrolysis temperatures were in the ranges of 500-600 ℃, 600-700 ℃, 700-800 ℃ and 800-900 ℃, 17%, 32%, 13% and 38% of graphene were produced, respectively. The contribution ratios of graphene by FeCl3, ZnCl2 and HCl were 64%, 23% and 13%, respectively. Moreover, IZBC was filled with porous wavy three-dimensional graphene nanosheets that enabled self-aggregation to be effectively prevented, which was superior to the striped two-dimensional structure. The adsorption of IZBC for dimethoate was a spontaneous exothermic reaction with the adsorption capacity of 980 μmol/g, which was consistent with the pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion models. The adsorption was inhibited by coexisting cations, anions, and humic acid in water. Dimethoate was adsorbed on graphene through embedded separation, with pore filling, cation-π and electrostatic attraction as the key driving forces. In addition, the adsorbed saturated IZBC could be effectively regenerated for many times by 2 mol/L HCl solution.

Viscose-derived activated carbons as adsorbents for malathion, dimethoate, and chlorpyrifos-screening, trends, and analysis.

Abstract
The release and accumulation of pesticides in the environment require the development of novel sustainable technologies for their removal. While adsorption is a classical approach, the design of new materials with enhanced adsorption properties could rationalize the remediation routes and decrease potential risks for their non-target organisms, including humans. More importantly, the use of adsorbents and their synthesis should be implemented in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. In this contribution, we studied the adsorption of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) dimethoate, malathion, and chlorpyrifos on viscose fiber-derived activated carbon fibers (ACFs). The most efficient adsorption was found for chlorpyrifos, followed by malathion and dimethoate, while material properties were correlated with OP uptake. These ACFs are extremely efficient for chlorpyrifos adsorption, with experimentally observed adsorption capacitances reaching 240 mg g-1. Detailed analysis suggests that chlorpyrifos is physisorbed on ACF surfaces and that increased surface hydrophilicity reduces the uptake. Studied ACFs have great potential for practical application. They can reduce OPs' concentrations to such levels that no acute neurotoxic effects of the studied OPs in spiked tap water samples are seen, even for starting concentrations up to 104 times higher than the allowed ones. Finally, this study presents possible guidance for developing even more efficient and environmentally friendly adsorbents for chlorpyrifos, the most toxic among studied OPs.

Coco Peat as Agricultural Waste Sorbent for Sustainable Diesel-Filter System. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 10:2468. [PMID: 34834831 PMCID: PMC8620852 DOI: 10.3390/plants10112468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Revised: 10/20/2021] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Oil spill incidents are hazardous and have prolonged damage to the marine environment. Management and spill clean-up procedures are practical and rapid, with several shortcomings. Coco peat (CP) and coco fibre (CF) are refined from coconut waste, and their abundance makes them desirable for diesel spillage treatment. Using a filter-based system, the selectivity of coco peat sorbent was tested using CP, CF and peat-fibre mix (CPM). CP exhibited maximal diesel sorption capacity with minimal seawater uptake, thus being selected for further optimisation analysis. The heat treatment considerably improved the sorption capacity and efficiency of diesel absorbed by CP, as supported by FTIR and VPSEM-EDX analysis. Conventional one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) examined the performance of diesel sorption by CP under varying parameters, namely temperature, time of heating, packing density and diesel concentration. The significant factors were statistically evaluated using response surface methodology (RSM) via Plackett-Burman design (PB) and central composite design (CCD). Three significant (p < 0.05) factors (time, packing density and diesel concentration) were identified by PB and further analysed for interactions among the parameters. CCD predicted efficiency of diesel absorbed at 59.92% (71.90 mL) (initial diesel concentration of 30% v/v) and the experimental model validated the design with 59.17% (71.00 mL) diesel sorbed at the optimised conditions of 14.1 min of heating (200 °C) with packing density of 0.08 g/cm3 and 30% (v/v) of diesel concentration. The performance of CP in RSM (59.17%) was better than that in OFAT (58.33%). The discoveries imply that natural sorbent materials such as CP in oil spill clean-up operations can be advantageous and environmentally feasible. This study also demonstrated the diesel-filter system as a pilot study for the prospective up-scale application of oil spills.

Wood and Black Liquor-Based N-Doped Activated Carbon for Energy Application. SUSTAINABILITY 2021. [DOI: 10.3390/su13169237] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Fuel cells, batteries and supercapacitors are critical to meet the rising global demand for clean, sustainable energy. Biomass-derived activated carbon can be obtained with tailored properties to fulfil the extensive need for low-cost, high-performance, catalyst and electrode materials. To investigate the possibility of nanoporous nitrogen-doped carbon materials as catalysts in fuel cells and electrodes in lithium-ion batteries, biomass precursors were thermochemically activated with NaOH at 800 °C, nitrogen was introduced using dicyandiamide and doping was performed at 800 °C. The chemical composition, porous structure, texture and electrochemical properties of the obtained materials change depending on the biomass precursor used. It has been found that the most promising precursor of the obtained materials is wood char, both as an oxygen reduction catalyst in fuel cells, which shows better properties than the commercial 20% Pt/C catalyst, and as an anode material in Li-ion batteries. However, catalysts based on black liquor and hybrid material have comparable properties with commercial 20% Pt/C catalyst and can be considered as a cheaper alternative.

Abstract
A simple and rapid method for the determination of dimethoate in water was developed based on the monitoring of the complex formation between bis 5-phenyldipyrrinate of nickel (II) and the herbicide dimethoate. The method showed a short response time (10 s), high selectivity (very low interference from other sulfate and salts), high sensitivity (limit of detection (LOD) 0.45 µM, limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 1.39 µM), and a Kd of 2.4 µM. Stoichiometry experiments showed that complex formation occurred with a 1:1 relation. The method was applied to different environmental water samples such as lagoon, stream, urban, and groundwater samples. The results indicated that independently from the water source, the method exhibited high precision (0.25-2.47% variation coefficient) and accuracy (84.42-115.68% recovery). In addition, the method was also tested using an effluent from a wastewater treatment plant from Mexico; however, the results indicated that the presence of organic matter had a pronounced effect on the detection.
