ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:79649-79666. [PMID: 35713835 PMCID: PMC9587071 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-20823-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Graphite (GR) and graphite/alginate (GRA) composite were synthesized utilizing the thermal annealing technique and used as a new adsorbent material for the selective separation and removal of La(III) and Ce(III) from aqueous solutions. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermal analysis (DTA, TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area, porosity, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were also used to characterize the generated material. Distinct experiments were performed to test the ability of the GRA to La(III) and Ce(III) removal, which include the effect of pH, shaken time, initial concentration of La(III), and Ce(III) at different temperatures range. After 20 min, both ions have reached equilibrium. The pseudo second-order kinetic model was chosen as one which best fits the experimental evidence and better reflects the chemical sorption process. Adsorption isotherm was studied using the Langmuir, Freundlich, and D-R models. The Langmuir model was used to better fit the results obtained. At 25 °C, Ce(III) and La(III) have maximum monolayer capacities of 200 and 83.3 mg/g, respectively. The sorption was endothermic reaction and spontaneous, as illustrated by the data of thermodynamics studies. GRA has the ability to be used as a novel lanthanide adsorbent material, especially for selective separation between Ce(III) and La(III).

Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 222:1465-1475.

Abstract
In this study, a novel magnetic organic-inorganic composite was fabricated. Where, Chitosan, sulfacetamide and ethylacetoacetae were used to prepare a new Sulfacetamide-Ethylacetoacetate hydrazone-chitosan Schiff-base (SEH-CSB) with a variety of active sites that capable of forming coordinate covalent bonds with Cr(VI). This was followed by modification of the formed SHE-CSB with NiFe2O4 to obtain the magnetic Chitosan-Schiff-base (NiFe2O4@SEH-CSB). NiFe2O4@SEH-CSB was characterized using FTIR, zeta potential, SEM, VSM and XPS. Results clarified that SHE played a crucial role in the removal of Cr(VI). The removal of Cr(VI) on NiFe2O4@SEH-CSB was found to be more fitted to pseudo-2nd order kinetics model and Freundlich isotherm. Besides, the maximum adsorption capacity of NiFe2O4@SEH-CSB for Cr(VI) was found to be 373.61 mg/g. The plausible mechanism for the removal of Cr(VI) on NiFe2O4@SEH-CSB composite suggested coulombic interaction, outer-sphere complexation, ion-exchange, surface complexation and coordinate-covalent bond pathways. The magnetic property enabled easy recycling of NiFe2O4@SEH-CSB composite.

Adsorption Behavior of Methylene Blue Cationic Dye in Aqueous Solution Using Polypyrrole-Polyethylenimine Nano-Adsorbent. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14163362. [PMID: 36015619 PMCID: PMC9412383 DOI: 10.3390/polym14163362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2022] [Revised: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 07/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022] Open
Abstract
In this work, a polypyrrole-polyethyleneimine (PPy-PEI) nano-adsorbent was successfully synthesized for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution. Synthetic dyes are among the most prevalent environmental contaminants. A new conducting polymer-based adsorbent called (PPy-PEI) was successfully produced using ammonium persulfate as an oxidant. The PEI hyper-branched polymer with terminal amino groups was added to the PPy adsorbent to provide more effective chelating sites for dyes. An efficient dye removal from an aqueous solution was demonstrated using a batch equilibrium technique that included a polyethyleneimine nano-adsorbent (PPy-PEI). The best adsorption parameters were measured at a 0.35 g dosage of adsorbent at a pH of 6.2 and a contact period of 40 min at room temperature. The produced PPy-PEI nano-adsorbent has an average particle size of 25–60 nm and a BET surface area of 17 m2/g. The results revealed that PPy-PEI nano-composite was synthesized, and adsorption was accomplished in the minimum amount of time. The maximum monolayer power, qmax, for MB was calculated using the isothermal adsorption data, which matched the Langmuir isotherm model, and the kinetic adsorption data, which more closely fitted the Langmuir pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The Langmuir model was used to calculate the maximum monolayer capacity, or qmax, for MB, which was found to be 183.3 mg g−1. The as-prepared PPy-PEI nano-adsorbent totally removes the cationic dyes from the aqueous solution.

Abstract
Proper treatment and disposal of industrial pollutants of all kinds are a global issue that presents significant techno-economical challenges. The presence of pollutants such as heavy metal ions (HMIs) and organic dyes (ODs) in wastewater is considered a significant problem owing to their carcinogenic and toxic nature. Additionally, industrial gaseous pollutants (GPs) are considered to be harmful to human health and may cause various environmental issues such as global warming, acid rain, smog and air pollution, etc. Conductive polymer-based nanomaterials have gained significant interest in recent years, compared with ceramics and metal-based nanomaterials. The objective of this review is to provide detailed insights into different conductive polymers (CPs) and their nanocomposites that are used as adsorbents for environmental remediation applications. The dominant types of CPs that are being used as adsorbent materials include polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (Ppy), and polythiophene (PTh). The various adsorption mechanisms proposed for the removal of ODs, HMIs, and other GPs by the different CPs are presented, together with their maximum adsorption capacities, experimental conditions, adsorption, and kinetic models reported.

Abstract
Toxic metals in the environment are often remediated using sorption techniques, particularly in aquatic and drinking water systems. However, a review of over 30 published sorption studies in the past two years alone revealed that the use of filtration to separate sorbed from unsorbed metals do not take into account metal hydroxide and oxide formation, and thus likely produce erroneous results. We quantified the effect of filtration on the removal of metal oxide/hydroxides from solution using a 0.45 μm filter as a function of pH, initial metal concentration and ionic strength for As, Be, Cd, Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn. We found that even when the initial metal concentration was as low as 0.1 mg/L, up to 93% of metals in solution were removed and up to 100% removal was observed when the initial metal concentration was 5 mg/L at a pH of 7. If this was unaccounted for, precipitated metal oxide/hydroxide removed via filtration will be inaccurately attributed to metal sorption. Additionally, we demonstrate that speciation modeling can underestimate the pH at which insoluble metal species form and therefore can only be used to approximate metal precipitation, especially in complex matrices. Overestimating the sorption capacity of sorbent materials has major implications if these sorbents are used for the purification of drinking water or other vital environmental remediation efforts. We recommend sorption studies using filtration prepare the appropriate matrix-matched control samples to quantify potential metal oxide/hydroxide formation.
