Huang Y, Su M, Chen D, Zhu L, Pang Y, Chen Y. Highly-efficient and easy separation of hexahedral sodium dodecyl sulfonate/δ-FeOOH colloidal particles for enhanced removal of aqueous thallium and uranium ions: Synergistic effect and mechanism study. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 402:123800. [PMID: 33254803 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.123800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2020] [Revised: 08/26/2020] [Accepted: 08/26/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Thallium (Tl) and uranium (U) contaminants pose serious threats to the ecological environment and human health. In this research, a cost-effective feroxyhite (δ-FeOOH) dispersed with sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) was prepared and a series of experiments were optimized to explore the removal mechanism of Tl+ and UO22+ from the effluent. The SDS/δ-FeOOH exhibited highly dispersed colloidal particles and showed significantly enhanced adsorption performance on the removal of Tl and U in the presence of H2O2 and pH of 7.0. Equilibrium uptakes of 99.5% and 99.7% were rapidly achieved for Tl+ and UO22+ within 10 min, respectively. The Freundlich isotherm model fitted well with the adsorption data of Tl and U. The maximum isotherm sorption capacity of SDS/δ-FeOOH for Tl+ and UO22+ was 182.9 and 359.6 mg/g, respectively. The sorption of Tl followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, whereas the sorption of U followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The uptake of Tl and U by SDS/δ-FeOOH was notably inhibited at Na+, K+ concentrations over 5.0 mM, and a high content of dissolved organic matter (over 0.5 mg/L). The mechanistic study revealed that ion exchange, precipitation, and surface complexation were main mechanisms for the removal of Tl and U. The findings of this study indicate that stabilizer dispersion may serve as an effective strategy to facilitate the treatment of wastewater containing Tl and U by using δ-FeOOH.

ACS OMEGA 2019; 4:2823-2832.

Abstract
In this study, N-(((2-((2-aminoethyl)amino)ethyl)amino)methyl)-4-sulfamoylbenzamide was impregnated into the hydrous zirconium oxide matrix to yield N-(((2-((2-aminoethyl)amino)ethyl)amino)methyl)-4-sulfamoylbenzamide/hydrous zirconium oxide composite (AESB/HZO). The composite material was used to remove Ni(II) from aqueous environment. AESB/HZO was characterized using Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray, and thermogravimetry-differential thermal analyses. An experimental design approach was utilized to model and optimize the variables of adsorption of Ni(II) onto the AESB/HZO composite. Four experimental parameters were selected as independent variables: contact time, pH, adsorbent dose, and initial Ni(II) concentration. A multivariable experimental design was used to establish quadratic model to describe the relationship between percent removal of Ni(II) and four independent variables. At the optimum conditions (contact time: 85 min, pH: 6, adsorbent dose: 10 mg/20 mL, and initial Ni(II) concentration: 20 mg L-1), high removal efficiency (99.35%) was achieved, which is reasonably well predicted by the quadratic model. The sorption of Ni(II) is dependent on pH and ionic strength at pH < 6.0. At low pH, -NH and -NH2 groups are protonated, whereas the -SO2- group is available for binding with Ni(II) and the sorption of Ni(II) is mainly governed by outer sphere surface complexation. In the pH range 6.0-7.5, -NH, -NH2, and -SO2- groups are available for binding with Ni(II) and the sorption is mainly governed by inner-sphere surface complexation. Adsorption isotherm data fitted well to the Langmuir model and the maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 96.03 mg g-1 at 303 K. The results of present investigation demonstrated that AESB/HZO has a good potential for Ni(II) removal from aqueous solution.

Abstract
Abstract
High-molecular alginates were extracted from Djiboutian brown seaweeds, Sargassum sp. (S) and Turbinaria (T) and isolated as sodium salts in 31.0 and 42.7% yield by weight. 1H NMR analysis of the uronic acid block-structure indicates mannuronic/guluronic M/G ratios of 0.49 and 3.0 for the alginates extracts, respectively. The resulting alginates were deposited onto native Aerosil 200 silica, amine-functionalized and carboxyl-functionalized silica particles to enhance the mechanical strength providing Alg.(T/S)+SiO2) Alg.(T/S)+SiO2NH2) and Alg.(T)+SiO2CO2H) composites. Taking Pb(II) as examples for toxic heavy metal ions, the effects of the pH, adsorption kinetics, and isotherms have been studied systematically. The best uptake achieved was 585 mg Pb2+ ion/g using Alg.S+SiO2NH2. Furthermore, the Pb(II) ions were successfully desorbed in several cycles from Alg.T+SiO2 using 0.5 M hydrochloric acid. Therefore, Alg.T+SiO2 may be considered as a low-cost biosorbent that quickly adsorbs and easily desorbs analyte lead ions. A comparison of the adsorption capacity of our biopolymer-coated particles with that of other adsorbents reported in the literature reveals that our materials are among the best performing for the adsorption of Pb(II).

New Type of Sodium Alginate- g-acrylamide Polyelectrolyte Obtained by Electron Beam Irradiation: Characterization and Study of Flocculation Efficacy and Heavy Metal Removal Capacity. Polymers (Basel) 2019; 11:E234. [PMID: 30960218 PMCID: PMC6419015 DOI: 10.3390/polym11020234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2018] [Revised: 01/17/2019] [Accepted: 01/22/2019] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
The goals of the paper were first the obtainment and characterization of sodium alginate-g-acrylamide polyelectrolytes by electron beam irradiation in the range of 0.5 to 2 kGy, and second, the evaluation of flocculation efficacy and heavy metal removal capacity from aqueous solutions of known concentrations. Based on sodium alginate concentration, two types of grafted polymers were obtained. Physical, chemical, and structural investigations were performed. Flocculation studies under different stirring conditions on 0.5, 0.1 and 0.2% kaolin suspension were done. The removal capacity of Cu2+ and Cr6+ ions was also investigated. The acrylamide grafting ratio on sodium alginate backbone was found up to 2000% for samples containing 1% sodium alginate and up to 500% for samples containing 2% sodium alginate. Transmittances between 98 and 100% were obtained using, in the flocculation studies, polyelectrolytes containing 2% sodium alginate in concentrations of 0.5 and 1 ppm on kaolin suspension of 0.1 wt %. The polymer concentration was found critical for kaolin suspension of 0.05 and 0.1 wt %. Polymers containing 1% sodium alginate were efficient in Cr6+ ion removal, while those containing 2% in Cu2+ ion removal.

Toxicological Assessment of Cross-Linked Beads of Chitosan-Alginate and Aspergillus australensis Biomass, with Efficiency as Biosorbent for Copper Removal. Polymers (Basel) 2019; 11:polym11020222. [PMID: 30960206 PMCID: PMC6419072 DOI: 10.3390/polym11020222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2018] [Revised: 01/24/2019] [Accepted: 01/27/2019] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Sorbent materials of biological origin are considered as an alternative to the use of traditional methods in order to remove heavy metals. Interest in using these materials has increased over the past years due to their low cost and friendliness to the environment. The objective of this study was to synthesize and characterize cross-linked beads made of chitosan, alginate, and mycelium of a copper-tolerant strain of Aspergillus australensis. The acute toxicity of the biocomposite beads was assessed using brine shrimp Artemia salina nauplii and the phytotoxicity was determined using lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and chili pepper 'Anaheim' (Capsicum annuum) seeds. The biosorption capacity for copper removal in simulated wastewater was also evaluated. Results showed that the biosorbent obtained had a maximal adsorption of 26.1 mg of Cu2+ per g of biocomposite, and removal efficiency was around 79%. The toxicity of simulated residual water after treatment with the biocomposite showed low toxicity toward seeds, which was highly dependent on the residual copper concentration. The toxicity of the biocomposite beads to A. salina was considered medium depending on the amount of the biocomposite, which was attributed to low pH. Biocomposite shows promise as biosorbent for the removal process of heavy metals.
