Abstract
The widespread use of pesticides that are inevitable to keep the production of food grains brings serious environmental pollution problems. Turning agricultural biomass/wastes into materials addressing the issues of pesticide contaminants is a feasible strategy to realize the reuse of wastes. Several works summarized the current applications of agricultural biomass/waste materials in the remediation of environmental pollutants. However, few studies systematically take the pesticides as an unitary target pollutant. This critical review comprehensively described the remediation effects of crop-derived waste (cereal crops, cash crops) and animal-derived waste materials on pesticide pollution. Adsorption is considered a superior and highlighted effect between pesticides and materials. The review generalized the sources, preparation, characterization, condition optimization, removal efficiency and influencing factors analysis of agricultural biomass/waste materials. Our work mainly emphasized the promising results in lab experiments, which helps to clarify the current application status of these materials in the field of pesticide remediation. In the meantime, rigorous pros and cons of the materials guide to understand the research trends more comprehensively. Overall, we hope to achieve a large-scale use of agricultural biomass/wastes.

Bio-based resources: systemic & circular solutions for (agro)environmental services. RSC Adv 2024; 14:23466-23482. [PMID: 39055268 PMCID: PMC11271217 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra03506b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
The global promotion of decarbonisation through the circular solutions and (re)use of bio-based resources (BBR), i.e. waste streams, notably from the agricultural, forest and municipal sectors has steadily increased in recent decades. Among the transformative solutions offered by BBR, biosolids (BS), biochars (BC), and bioashes (BA) specifically attract scientific attention due to their highly complex organo-mineral matrices, which present significant potential for recovery in the agro-/forest-ecosystems. These materials enhance various soil (i) chemical (pH, macro/micro nutrient concentrations, organic matter content), (ii) physical (porosity, water-air relations, compaction) or (iii) microbial (diversity, activity) properties. Furthermore, some of transformed BBR contribute to a multitude of environmental services such as the remediation of contaminated sites and wastewater treatment, employing cost-effective and eco-friendly approaches that align with circular economy/waste management principles, ultimately contributing to climate change mitigation. However, several challenges impede the widespread utilization/transformation of BBR, including technological limitations in processing and application, concerns about contamination (e.g., PAHs, PCBs, micro/nano plastics present in BS), toxicity issues (e.g., heavy metals in BA or nanoparticles in BC), and regulatory constraints (e.g., non-uniform regulations governing the reuse of BA and BS). Addressing these challenges demands an interdisciplinary and intersectoral approach to fully unlock the potential of BBR in sustainable decarbonisation efforts.

[PMID: 38975120 PMCID: PMC11226824 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e32792] [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: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024] Open
Abstract
This study presents a sustainable approach to activated carbon production from olive stones in comparison to commercial ones, using various activating agents such as H3PO4, KOH, and ZnCl2, for enhancing the adsorption properties and versatile adsorption capability to remove a range of pollutants including copper ion, methylene blue, and 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid from aqueous solutions. The performances of activated carbons across varying conditions such as pollutant concentrations, temperatures, pH levels, and adsorbent amounts were tested. Increased initial pollutant concentrations correlated with higher adsorption capacities. Maximum adsorption capacities were achieved at pH levels of 5, 10, and 2 for Cu, MB, and 2,4-D, respectively. For KOSAC, Cu removal rose from 27 % to 52 %, for ZOSAC, MB removal increased from 39 % to 65 %, and for ZOSAC, 2,4-D removal surged from 33 % to 99 % at varying adsorbent amounts. Model validation was carried out utilizing the kinetic models (PFO, PSO) and isotherm models (Langmuir, Redlich-Peterson). The PFO kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model proved more suitability for Cu adsorption, whereas PFO and PSO kinetic models, along with Redlich-Peterson isotherm models, were more prominent for MB and 2,4-D adsorption. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the adsorption of Cu and 2,4-D was exothermic, while MB adsorption was endothermic. By optimization of experimental conditions, the maximum adsorption capacities were attained at 30.34 °C and 297.65 mg L-1 for KOSAC-Cu, 48.62 °C and 269.37 mg L-1 for ZOSAC-MB, and 30.31 °C and 299.02 mg L-1 for ZOSAC-2,4-D sorption. This research highlights ZOSAC's potential as a cost-effective, eco-friendly solution for water treatment, contributing to environmental sustainability and economical feasibility.

[PMID: 38873553 PMCID: PMC11170562 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra02658f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride supported silver nanoparticles (AgNPs/g-C3N4) with 1%, 3%, and 5% AgNPs were successfully synthesized by an "ex situ" method with ultrasound of a mixture of AgNP solution and g-C3N4. The AgNP solution was prepared by chemical reduction with trisodium citrate, and g-C3N4 was synthesized from the urea precursor. The supported nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption-desorption (BET), Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) Nyquist plots. The visible light-driven photocurrent measurement was performed by three on-off cycles of intermittent irradiation. The analyses show that AgNPs were evenly dispersed on g-C3N4, and have sizes ranging from 40 to 50 nm. The optical properties of the AgNPs/g-C3N4 material were significantly enhanced due to the plasmonic effect of AgNPs. The photocatalytic activity of catalysts was evaluated by 2,4-D degradation under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm). In the reaction conditions: pH 2.2; C o (2,4-D) 40 ppm; a m/v ratio of 0.5 g L-1, AgNPs/g-C3N4 materials exhibit superior photocatalytic activity compared to the pristine g-C3N4. The studies on the influence of free radicals and photogenerated holes, h+, show that ˙OH, O2˙-, and h+ play decisive roles in the photocatalytic activity of AgNPs/g-C3N4. The TOC result indicates the minimal toxicity of the by-products formed during the 2,4-D degradation. In addition, the AgNPs/g-C3N4 catalytic activity under direct sunlight irradiation was similar to that under artificial UV irradiation. Based on these results, a possible mechanism is proposed to explain the enhanced photocatalytic activity and stability of AgNPs/g-C3N4. Theoretical calculations on the interaction between 2,4-D and g-C3N4, Ag/g-C3N4 was also performed. The calculated results show that the adsorption of 2,4-D on Ag-modified g-C3N4 is significantly more effective compared to pristine g-C3N4.

Abstract
Adsorption column blockage due to solid adsorbent material is prevalent in laboratory-scale applications. Creating composite materials with stable geometries offers a viable solution. By crafting hydrogel beads using sodium alginate (Alg) and a bio-source like activated carbon (RMCA-P), it becomes possible to effectively eliminate agricultural pollutants, including the pesticide 2,4-D, from aqueous solutions. To evaluate the performance of these beads, a range of structural and textural analyses such as DRX, FTIR, SEM/EDX, BET, Zeta potential, Boehm titration, and iodine number were employed. Moreover, the study found that optimizing certain parameters greatly enhanced adsorption column efficiency. Specifically, increasing the bed height while reducing the flow rate of the adsorbate and the initial concentration in the inlet proved beneficial. The column demonstrated peak performance at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min, a bed height of 35 cm, and an inlet adsorbate concentration of 50 mg/L. Under these conditions, the highest recorded removal rate for 2,4-D was 95.49%, which was subsequently confirmed experimentally at 95.05%. Both the Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models exhibited a good fit with the breakthrough curves. After undergoing three cycles of reuse, the RMCA-P/Alg hydrogel composite maintained a 2,4-D removal percentage of 74.21%. Notably, the RMCA-P/Alg beads exhibited effective removal of 2,4-D from herbicidal field waters in a continuous operational mode.

Machine learning, conventional and statistical physics modeling of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) herbicide removal using biochar prepared from Vateria indica fruit biomass. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 350:141130. [PMID: 38185425 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/09/2024]
Abstract
The adsorption properties of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) onto biochar, obtained through HCl-assisted hydrothermal carbonization process of Vateria indica fruits (VI-BC), were extensively studied using traditional and statistical physics approaches. The traditional adsorption investigations encompassed kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamics studies. Subsequently, the Hill statistical physics model was employed to interpret the mechanism. Also, artificial neural network (ANN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) machine learning tools were successfully employed to model the adsorption data wherein both models had high prediction potential (R2 > 0.99). The outcomes demonstrated that the produced VI-BC exhibited remarkable adsorptive traits, having a considerable specific surface area (111.54 m2/g), pore size (5.89 nm), a variety of functional groups, and appropriate attributes for efficiently adsorbing 2,4-D. For 10 mg/L 2,4-D, at pH 2.0 and with 0.3 g/L dose, an impressive 91.67% adsorption efficiency was achieved within a 120-min. Pseudo-second-order model aptly depicted the kinetic behavior of 2,4-D adsorption, while the Freundlich model provided a more accurate representation of the isotherms. 2,4-D maximum adsorption capacity stood at 131.39 mg/g at 303 K. The Hill statistical physics model elucidated that the adsorption primarily occurred via physisorption mechanisms, involving electrostatic attractions, π-π conjugation, and pore filling. This conclusion was further substantiated by post-adsorption characterization of the VI-BC. Thermodynamic analysis indicated that the interactions between VI-BC and 2,4-D were favorable, spontaneous, and exothermic. The calculated low energy of adsorption (1.255 kJ/mol) and ΔH° value (-20.49 kJ/mol) further supported physisorption as the dominant mechanism. In summary, this study underscores the significant potential of the newly developed biochar as a promising alternative material for efficiently removing the 2,4-D herbicide from polluted environments.

Abstract
In this work, a comparison was made between the synthesis of niobium-based materials (Nb2O5), both in terms of material characterization and catalytic performance. The methods used were chemical mixtures: modified sol-gel and Pechini. The materials were calcined at different temperatures (753, 873 and 993K) and characterized by the following techniques: photoacousticspectroscopy (PAS), zero charge point (pHPZC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTG) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The photocatalytic process was carried out to evaluate the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) under UV radiation (250 W mercury vapor lamp) and different experimental conditions. In addition, to better understand the influence of parameters such as pH, catalyst concentration (0.2, 0.5 and 0.8 g L-1) and calcination temperature, a Design of Experiments (DoE) was used. The results indicated that despite having similar structures and phases in the XRD analysis, the morphology presents two distinct surfaces, due to the preparation method. Differences in the synthesis method affected the catalytic activity in the parameters studied. Although the zero charge point values are close (6.18-6.36), we observed differences in the band gap depending on the calcination temperature. In the optimal condition studied, the catalyst prepared by the sol-gel method obtained the best results.

Abstract
The increasing consumption of phenoxyacetic acid-derived herbicides is becoming a major public health and environmental concern, posing a serious challenge to existing conventional water treatment systems. Among the various physicochemical and biological purification processes, adsorption is considered one of the most efficient and popular techniques due to its high removal efficiency, ease of operation, and cost effectiveness. This review article provides extensive literature information on the adsorption of phenoxyacetic herbicides by various adsorbents. The purpose of this article is to organize the scattered information on the currently used adsorbents for herbicide removal from the water, such as activated carbons, carbon and silica adsorbents, metal oxides, and numerous natural and industrial waste materials known as low-cost adsorbents. The adsorption capacity of these adsorbents was compared for the two most popular phenoxyacetic herbicides, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA). The application of various kinetic models and adsorption isotherms in describing the removal of these herbicides by the adsorbents was also presented and discussed. At the beginning of this review paper, the most important information on phenoxyacetic herbicides has been collected, including their classification, physicochemical properties, and occurrence in the environment.

Abstract
2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is the most important pesticide widely used in Khuzestan province. This study aimed to determine the ecological risks assessment in fish, plant tissues, and trends in 2,4-D urinary biomarker concentration in humans of Shadegan International wetland, Iran. Sampling was carried out from three areas: freshwater, saltwater, and brackish water. The average concentration of 2,4-D at point 38, taken from the wetland's northern parts, was 15.73 µg/L. In the lower regions, it reached 326 µg/L at point 25. From points 37 to 16, it was higher than the international standard. The increasing trend of 2,4-D concentration was observed from point 36 to the middle of the wetland. The non-carcinogenic risk through ingestion and skin contact for children and adults was 3E-3 and 1.5E-2, 2.1E-3, and 8.6E-5, respectively, and through fish, consumption was 7.1E-4 for both groups. HI values were below one (< 1), indicating no health risk. HQ values in the summer were more than one (> 1), indicating the high risk to aquatic organisms and human health.

[PMID: 36243095 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.136853] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Revised: 09/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Nitrophenols are the most widely used raw materials in the chemical, pesticide, and pharmaceutical industries. Due to improper waste management and excessive usage, nitrophenol is listed as a priority pollutant and garnered global research attention. This review highlights the recent progress on heterojunction photocatalysts toward eliminating nitrophenols. The detailed mechanisms of the electron-hole pair separation using different heterojunctions such as traditional, p-n, Z-scheme, S-scheme, and Schottky heterojunctions are elaborated. The performance of the photocatalysts is evaluated using quantum efficiency. Among the heterojunctions, Z-scheme exhibited maximum removal efficiency of 100% and found superior over other heterojunctions. Even though heterojunctions exhibit good efficiency, the reusability of the heterojunction photocatalyst is not reported beyond 5 cycles. Further research is indeed to develop a highly reusable photocatalyst for environmental remediation.

Magnetic Nanocomposites of Coated Ferrites/MOF as Pesticide Adsorbents. Molecules 2022; 28:molecules28010039. [PMID: 36615234 PMCID: PMC9821965 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28010039] [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: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Magnetic metal-organic frameworks (MMOFs) are gaining increased attention as emerging adsorbents/water remediation agents. Herein, a facile development of novel MMOFs comprised of coated ferrite nanoparticles (MNPs) and UiO-66 metal-organic framework is reported. In specific, coated Co- and Zn-doped ferrite magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized as building block while the metal-organic framework was grown in the presence of MNPs via a semi-self-assembly approach. The utilization of coated MNPs facilitated the conjugation and stands as a novel strategy for fabricating MMOFs with increased stability and an explicit structure. MMOFs were isolated with 13-25 nm crystallites sizes, 244-332 m2/g specific surface area (SSA) and 22-42 emu/g saturation magnetization values. Establishing the UiO-66 framework via the reported semi-self-assembly resulted in roughly 70% reduction in both magnetic properties and SSA, compared with the initial MNPs building blocks and UiO-66 framework, respectively. Nonetheless, the remaining 30% of the magnetization and SSA was adequate for successful and sufficient adsorption of two different pesticides, 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), while the recovery with a commercial magnet and reuse were also found to be effective. Adsorption and kinetic studies for all three MMOFs and both pesticides were performed, and data were fitted to Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm models.

Abstract
Herbicides are one of the most recurring pollutants in the aquatic system due to their widespread usage in the agriculture sector for weed control. Semiconductor-based photocatalysts have gained recognition due to their ability to degrade and mineralize pollutants into harmless by-products completely. Lately, many studies have been done to design photocatalysts with efficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers and enhanced light absorption. Photocatalyst engineering through doping with metal and non-metal elements and the formation of heterojunction are proven effective for minimizing the recombination of electron-hole pairs and enlarging the absorption in the visible light region. This review focuses on discussing and evaluating the recent progress in the types of photocatalysts and their performance in the remediation of herbicides in wastewater. The development of innovative hybrid technologies is also highlighted. The limitations and challenges of photocatalysis technology in the present literature have been identified, and future studies are recommended.

Abstract
The presence of microcontaminants in the water supply system offers adverse impacts. This study analyzed the performance of two powdered activated carbons (PAC1 and PAC2) in the removal of 2,4-D herbicide in ultrapure water (UW) and natural water (NW) to verify the influence of natural organic matter (NOM) on the adsorptive process. The properties of PAC1 and PAC2 were analyzed by textural analysis, FTIR, TG, pH, XDR, NMR. The specific surface area of PAC2 was lower than PAC1 and PAC2 showed better adsorption capacity in UW (37.04 mg.g-1) and in NW (8.06 mg.g-1). The results of experiments performed in natural water showed that both activated carbons had reduced 2,4-D adsorption capacity in the presence of NOM, since it may compete for the same adsorption sites or block the access of the 2,4-D molecule to the pores of the activated carbon. PAC2 showed a higher mesopores percentage, decreasing the effects caused by NOM in 2,4-D adsorption. The use of activated carbons with varying pore sizes for the removal of microcontaminants is recommended, especially in NW. This result contributes to the choice of the adsorbent type to be applied in water treatment plants.

Abstract
The degradation of organic contaminants is typically achieved by exposure of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) containing influent to ultraviolet (UV) lamps as the source of radiation that can convert H2O2 to hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which oxidize organic pollutants. However, two factors prevent this process from being scaled down: the need to introduce H2O2, which requires special handling, and the use of bulky UV lamps, which have a high electric power consumption. In this work, an electrochemical cell was developed for the efficient in situ generation of H2O2 from water and atmospheric oxygen in a process called a two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e-ORR), so that the external addition of H2O2 is no longer needed. Moreover, the electrochemical cell was equipped with ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) to convert H2O2 to ·OH. The reactor exhibited a current efficiency of ∼90% for the H2O2 production at a flow rate of 50 mL min-1. The degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was studied at 277 nm based on different operational parameters, such as UV fluence rate, initial concentration, and initial pH. A high degradation of >70% was obtained at a UV output of 900 mW. Our approach, the first of its kind, has novel features applied, including: optimal radiation distribution in the reactor by applying a new UV source, UV-LEDs that offer much more control for the radiation profile in the reaction system compared to traditional UV lamps, controlled hydrodynamics by implementing special flow channels to provide a more uniform residence time and offer enhanced mixing, and integrating UV reactor and electrochemical cell in a single unit which could lead to superior performance and space efficiency of the device. These features make the device very suitable for point-of-use (POU) water treatment applications to eliminate both microbial and chemical contaminants.

Abstract
Magnetic activated charcoal/Fe2O3 nanocomposite (AC/Fe2O3NC) was fabricated using Spondias dulcis leaf extract by a facile method and used for the adsorptive removal of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) from aqueous solutions for the first time. The nanocomposite was characterized by methods such as FE-SEM, EDS, XRD, FTIR, TGA, VSM, and BET to identify and confirm the surface morphology, elemental composition, crystalline nature, functional groups, thermal stability, magnetic behavior, and surface area respectively. Box-Behnken Design (BBD) - an optimization method, which belongs to the Response surface methodology (RSM) and a modeling tool - Artificial Neural Network (ANN) were employed to design, optimize and predict the relationship between the input parameters (pH, initial concentration of 2,4-D, time and agitation speed) versus the output parameter (adsorption efficiency of 2,4-D). Adsorption efficiency of 98.12% was obtained at optimum conditions (pH: 2.05, initial concentration: 32 ppm, contact time: 100 min, agitation speed: 130 rpm, temperature: 30 °C, and dosage: 0.2 g/L). The predictive ability of the ANN was superior (R2 = 0.99) than the quadratic model, given by the RSM (R2 = 0.93). The equilibrium data were best-fitted to Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.9944) and the kinetics obeyed pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.9993) satisfactorily. Thermodynamic studies revealed the spontaneity and exothermic nature of adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity, qm was found to be 255.10 mg/g, substantially larger than the reported values for 2,4-D adsorption by other magnetic nanoadsorbents. Therefore, this nanoadsorbent may be utilized as an excellent alternative for the elimination of 2,4-D from the waterbodies.

Abstract
The residual bark of the tree species Campomanesia guazumifolia was successfully modified with H2SO4 and applied to remove the toxic herbicide 2.4-dichlorophenoxyacetic (2.4-D) from aqueous solutions. The characterization techniques made it possible to observe that the material maintained its amorphous structure; however, a new FTIR band emerged, indicating the interaction of the lignocellulosic matrix with sulfuric acid. Micrographs showed that the material maintained its irregular shape; however, new spaces and cavities appeared after the acidic modification. Regardless of the herbicide concentration, the system tended to equilibrium after 120 min. Using the best statistical coefficients, the Elovich model was the one that best fitted the kinetic data. The temperature increase in the system negatively influenced the adsorption of 2.4-D, reaching a maximum capacity of 312.81 mg g-1 at 298 K. The equilibrium curves showed a better fit to the Tóth model. Thermodynamic parameters confirmed the exothermic nature of the system (ΔH0 = -59.86 kJ mol-1). As a residue obtained from urban pruning, the bark of Campomanesia guazumifolia treated with sulfuric acid is a promising and highly efficient alternative for removing the widely used and toxic 2.4-D herbicide from aqueous solutions.

Efficacy of an organically modified bentonite to adsorb 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and prevent its phytotoxicity. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2021; 297:113427. [PMID: 34346399 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.113427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2021] [Revised: 07/25/2021] [Accepted: 07/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is widely used due to it selective action, and preferential control of dicotyledonous weeds affecting cereal crops. Physiological responses of sensitive dicotyledonous plants to 2,4-D include growth retardation, senescence, and cell death. Due to soil and water contamination by agricultural practices, 2,4-D constitutes a potential risk to non-target plant species. In this work, the potential advantage of using organic modified bentonite (Bent) to adsorb 2,4-D and therefore mitigate damage produced by this herbicide on sensitive not-target vegetable species was investigated. Dodecylamine (DDA) was used as an organic modifier to change the hydrophilic nature of Bent into an organophilic matrix. The adsorption performances of 2,4-D by Bent-DDA were analyzed. The maximum adsorptions of 2,4-D (22.1 mg/L) from aqueous solution containing 1.0 or 2.5 mg/mL Bent-DDA were 40 and 80 %, respectively. The physical interaction of Bent-DDA with 2,4-D was characterized by Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The biological functionality of Bent-DDA matrix as 2,4-D adsorbent was tested in a bioassay in the Arabidopsis thaliana plant model system. The primary root growth of Arabidopsis seedlings is strongly inhibited by low concentrations of 2,4-D. Arabidopsis seedlings submitted to Bent-DDA pre-treated herbicide aqueous solution showed similar root growth than 2,4-D non-treated seedlings. Finally, the ability of Bent-DDA to prevent 2,4-D phytotoxicity was exploratory investigated in lettuce plants. Lettuce plants pre-treated with 20 μg/mL Bent-DDA showed reduced sensitivity to 2,4-D including an increment on chlorophyll content and biomass compared with non-treated plants. Our findings revealed a promising scenario for the application of Bent-DDA as an effective adsorbent of 2,4-D at productive scale.

Abstract
Removal of recalcitrant pollutants from water is a major challenge, to which the photoelectrocatalytic processes may be a solution. Applied potential plays a key role in the photocatalytic activity of the semiconductor. This paper investigated the effect of applied potential on the photoelectrocatalytic oxidation of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) with TiO2 nanotubular anodes under solar light irradiation. The process was investigated at constant potentials in different regions of the polarization curve: the ohmic region, the saturation region and in the region of the Schottky barrier breakdown. PEC tests were performed in aqueous solutions of 2,4-D, and in the presence of methanol or formic acid, as scavengers of OH• radicals and holes. Results showed the main mechanism is oxidation by OH• radicals from water oxidation, while runs with hole scavenger revealed a second mechanism of direct oxidation by holes photogenerated at the electrode surface, with high removal rates due to current doubling effect.

Evaluation and comparison of advanced oxidation processes for the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D): a review. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:26325-26358.

Abstract
Organochlorine pesticides have generated public concern worldwide because of their toxicity to human health and the environment, even at low concentrations, and their persistence, being mostly nonbiodegradable. The use of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) has increased in recent decades, causing severe water contamination. Several treatments have been developed to degrade 2,4-D. This manuscript presents an overview of the physicochemical characteristics, uses, regulations, environmental and human health impacts of 2,4-D, and different advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to degrade this organic compound, evaluating and comparing operation conditions, efficiencies, and intermediaries. Based on this review, 2,4-D degradation is highly efficient in ozonation (system O3/plasma, 99.8% in 30 min). Photocatalytic, photo-Fenton, and electrochemical processes have the optimal efficiencies of degradation and mineralization: 97%/79.67% (blue TiO2 nanotube arrays//UV), 100%/98% (Fe2+/H2O2/UV), and 100%/84.3% (MI-meso SnO2), respectively. The ozonation and electrochemical processes show high degradation efficiencies, but energy costs are also high, and photocatalysis is more expensive with a separation treatment used to recover the catalyst in the solution. The Fenton process is a viable economic-environmental option, but degradation efficiencies are often low (50-70%); however, they are increased when solar UV radiation is used (90-100%). AOPs are promising technologies for the degradation of organic pollutants in real wastewater, so evaluating their strengths and weaknesses is expected to help select viable operational conditions and obtain optimal efficiencies.

Abstract
Dye removal from wastewater is of prominence due to its hostile effects on human health and the environment. The complex structure of the dye molecule is responsible for its difficulty in removal. Adsorption is found to be a promising technique to eliminate dye wastes due to its high removal capacity at low concentration. Among different adsorbents used, hydroxyapatite is a biocompatible adsorbent that is relatively efficient in both anionic and cationic dye removal. Recently, modification of hydroxyapatite by doping with other materials to increase its removal efficiency has gained much attention. This review summarizes compilation of recent literature on the removal of anionic and cationic dye by different hydroxyapatite nanocomposites, comparison of adsorption capacities of different hydroxyapatite nanocomposites, the possible adsorption mechanism of removal of dyes, the general isotherm, and kinetic and thermodynamic studies explaining the type of adsorption and the characteristics, advantages, and limitations of adsorbents.

Abstract
Activated biocarbons were prepared using biomass wastes: sugarcane bagasse, coconut shell and endocarp of babassu coconut; as a renewable source of low-cost raw materials and without prior treatments. These activated biocarbons were characterized by textural analysis, solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electronic microscopy. Textural analysis results revealed that those activated biocarbons were microporous, with specific surface area values of 547, 991 and 1,068 m2 g-1 from sugarcane bagasse, coconut shell and endocarp of babassu coconut, respectively. The innovation of this work was to evaluate which biomass residue was able to offer the best performance in removing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid herbicide (2,4-D) from water by adsorption. Adsorption process of 2,4-D was investigated and the Langmuir and Redlich-Peterson models described best the adsorption process, with R2 values within 0.96-0.99. The 2,4-D removal performance were 97% and 99% for the coconut and babassu biocarbons, respectively. qM parameter values obtained from Langmuir model were 153.9, 233.0 and 235.5 mg g-1 using sugarcane bagasse, coconut shell and endocarp of babassu, respectively. In addition, the adsorption kinetics were described nicely by the second-order model and the Gibbs free energy parameter values were negative, pointing to a spontaneous adsorption, as well.

Abstract
MOFs are usually used as efficient adsorbents to remove specific pollutants in water. However, because of their poor water stability relatively small particle size, their application in adsorbing and removing pollutants from water is limited. In this paper, with nitrile rubber sponge as the substrate, UiO-66-NH2/sponge composites were firstly in-situ synthesized and systematically evaluated UiO-66-NH2 as an adsorbent to remove 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid from water. This composite could not only remain the adsorption capacity for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid of UiO-66-NH2, but also was much more convenient for separation after the adsorption compared to UiO-66-NH2. In addition, the mechanism of the adsorption of UiO-66-NH2 for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid were discussed in detail. Electrostatic interaction between UiO-66-NH2 and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was the main adsorption mechanism. The adsorption was mainly suitable for Langmuir isotherm models, and its maximum adsorption capacity of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was 72.99 mg g-1.

Abstract
Fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymer (FMIP) optosensor was utilized for the selective identification of 2,4-dichlorophenoxacetic acid (2,4-D) due to worldwide pollution caused by using herbicides in agricultural industry. In this regards, two derivatives of polymerizable 1,8-naphthalimide namely, 1,8-naphthalimide containing thiourea (NI) and diethyl amine tagged 1,8-naphthalimide (NII) were used as the receptors and 2,4-D was applied as a template. Also, precipitation polymerization was applied to prepare the fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymer (FMIP). The morphological, structural and thermal analysis was carried out using SEM, TEM, EDS, BET, FTIR, DSC and TGA for characterizing the fluorescent optosensor. The adsorption efficiency of FMIP and FNIP was studied using Langmuir, Freundlich, BET and Redlich Peterson isotherms. The results represented that the adsorption of 2,4-D on FMIP and FNIP agreed the Freundlich adsorption isotherm with correlation coefficient of 0.9935 and 0.9801, respectively. The prepared sensor was able for the selective determination of 2,4-D salt in the linear range of 5 × 10-7-1 × 10-3 M with a limit of detection of 16.8 nM. The present study revealed that the FMIP prepared by 1,8-naphthalimide derivative (NI) could potentially recognize the trace concentration of 2,4-D.
