Abstract
Ammonia nitrogen is a common pollutant in water and soil, known for its biological toxicity and complex removal process. Traditional biological methods for removing ammonia nitrogen are often inefficient, especially under varying temperature conditions. This study reviews physicochemical techniques for the treatment and recovery of ammonia nitrogen from water. Key methods analyzed include ion exchange, adsorption, membrane separation, struvite precipitation, and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Findings indicate that these methods not only remove ammonia nitrogen but also allow for nitrogen recovery. Ion exchange, adsorption, and membrane separation are effective in separating ammonia nitrogen, while AOPs generate reactive species for efficient degradation. Struvite precipitation offers dual benefits of removal and resource recovery. Despite their advantages, these methods face challenges such as secondary pollution and high energy consumption. This paper highlights the development principles, current challenges, and future prospects of physicochemical techniques, emphasizing the need for integrated approaches to enhance ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency.

Abstract
Carboxylic acid-modified materials are a common means of achieving efficient NH3 adsorption. In this study, we report that improved NH3 adsorption capacity and easier desorption can be achieved through the introduction of substances containing Lewis basic groups into carboxylic acid-modified materials. Easily synthesized mesoporous acid-base hybrid polymers were constructed with polymers rich in carboxylic acid and Lewis base moieties through cooperative hydrogen bonding interactions (CHBs). The hybrid polymer PAA-P4VP presented higher NH3 capacity (18.2 mmol g-1 at 298 K and 1 bar NH3 pressure) than PAA (6.0 mmol g-1) through the acid-base reaction and the assistance from CHBs with NH3, while the NH3 desorption from PAA-P4VP was easier for the reformation of CHBs. Based on the introduction of CHBs, a series of mesoporous acid-base hybrid polymers was synthesized with NH3 adsorption capacity of 15.8-19.3 mmol g-1 and high selectivity of NH3 over CO2 (SNH3/CO2 = 25.4-56.3) and N2 (SNH3/N2 = 254-1068), and the possible co-existing gases, such as SO2, had a lower effect on NH3 uptake by hybrid polymers. Overall, the hybrid polymers present efficient NH3 adsorption owing to the abundant acidic moieties and CHBs, while the concomitant Lewis bases promote NH3 desorption.

Abstract
The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system in automobiles using urea solution as a source of NH3 suffers from solid deposit problems in pipelines and poor efficiency during engine startup. Although direct use of high pressure NH3 is restricted due to safety concerns, which can be overcome by using solid sorbents as NH3 carrier. Strontium chloride (SrCl2) is considered the best sorbent due to its high sorption capacity; however, challenges are associated with the processing of stable engineering structures due to extraordinary volume expansion during the NH3 sorption. This study reports the fabrication of a novel structure consisting of a zeolite cage enclosing the SrCl2 pellet (SPZC) through extrusion-based 3D printing (Direct Ink Writing). The printed SPZC structure demonstrated steady sorption of NH3 for 10 consecutive cycles without significant uptake capacity and structural integrity loss. Furthermore, the structure exhibited improved sorption and desorption kinetics than pure SrCl2. The synergistic effect of zeolite as physisorbent and SrCl2 as chemisorbent in the novel composite structure enabled the low-pressure (<0.4 bar) and high-pressure (>0.4 bar) NH3 sorption, compared to pure SrCl2, which absorbed NH3 at pressures above 0.4 bar. Regeneration of SPZC composite sorbent under evacuation showed that 87.5% percent of NH3 was desorbed at 20 °C. Thus, the results demonstrate that the rationally designed novel SPZC structure offers safe and efficient storage of NH3 in the SCR system and other applications.

Abstract
A novel exfoliated graphitic carbon nitride and clinoptilolite nanocomposites (Ex.g-C3N4/CP and g-C3N4/CP with a various ratios of g-C3N4 to CP) were prepared by facile method. This study evaluates the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) on the surface of synthesized adsorbents. The as-prepared composites were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, FESEM, BET and DRS. Batch experiments were carried out under various conditions, such as the amount of adsorbent and solution pH. The optimum batch experimental conditions were found under the response surface methodology. The Ex.g-C3N4/CP presented maximum removal of MB as compared to others. The removal efficiency of the as-prepared nanocomposite was significantly elevated owing to the synergistic effects. The adsorption capacities of MB (10 ppm) on Ex.g-C3N4/CP was 54.3 mg/g. The adsorption process by both composites (g-C3N4/CP and Ex.g-C3N4/CP) showed well-fitting with the Elovich kinetic model, and Langmuir isotherm. The thermodynamic study suggested that the adsorption of MB was a spontaneous and endothermic process. The reusability of g-C3N4/CP1:2 and Ex. g-C3N4/CP in removing of MB (10 ppm, pH = 9) was studied by photocatalytic regeneration under visible irradiation for three consecutive cycles. The results obtained from the experimental analyses showed that the removal of MB was easy treatment, eco-friendly, and high yield.

Abstract
The ability of clinoptilolite zeolite as a filter in water wells to remove lead from polluted groundwater was tested in batch and fixed-bed column experiments. XRF, XRD, SEM, and BET were used to characterize the zeolite. Because of the pH variation in groundwater, batch experiments were performed at pH = 6, 7, and 8, with the highest removal efficiency (84.2%) at pH = 6 and 298 K within 90 min. The Freundlich model accurately predicted metal ion adsorption behavior and indicated a multilayer adsorption of Pb(II) molecules on the inhomogeneous surface of clinoptilolite. The best-fitting kinetic model for clinoptilolite is the pseudo-second order equation, highlighting that the rate of adsorption is dependent on absorbent capacity. Next, the effect of flow rate, bed depth, and grain size of clinoptilolite on lead removal was investigated in column experiments at an initial concentration of 450 mg pb/L. The highest removal efficiency was achieved in column experiments with a flow rate of 1 mL/min, a bed height of 10 cm, and a grain size of 0.6 to 0.8 mm. Breakthrough curves were predicted by the Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models, with excellent agreement with the corresponding experimental data. This research will be used to develop a new in situ remedial approach for removing lead from polluted groundwater.

Abstract
Ceramic membrane has an important application prospect in industrial acid solution treatment. Enhancement of the acid resistance is the key strategy to optimize the membrane treatment effect. This work reports a core-shell structured membrane fabricated on alumina ceramic substrates via a one-step in situ hydrothermal method. The acid resistance of the modified membrane was significantly improved due to the protection provided by a chemically stable carbon layer. After modification, the masses lost by the membrane in the hydrochloric acid solution and the acetic acid solution were sharply reduced by 90.91% and 76.92%, respectively. Kinetic models and isotherm models of adsorption were employed to describe acid adsorption occurring during the membrane process and indicated that the modified membrane exhibited pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir model adsorption. Compared to the pristine membrane, the faster adsorption speed and the lower adsorption capacity were exhibited by the modified membrane, which further had a good performance with treating various kinds of acid solutions. Moreover, the modified membrane could be recycled without obvious flux decay. This modification method provides a facile and efficient strategy for the fabrication of acid-resistant membranes for use in extreme conditions.

Abstract
Pahae natural zeolite potentially can be used as a filtration material because of its high adsorption capacity. However, it is known that other supportive materials such as activated charcoal are needed to optimize the utilization of natural zeolite as an adsorber. This study aims to investigate the potential use of activated charcoal which was synthesized from cocoa shells waste and natural zeolite in nanosize as the adsorber in order to increase the concentration of bioethanol. The mixing process of nanozeolite and activated charcoal of cocoa shells was carried out through mechanical mixing, while the nanofilter was made using a press-printing technique followed by sintering at several temperature variations. The results showed that the activated zeolite produced in this study has a particle size of 118.4 nm with water absorption capacity of 52.08%. In line with that, the bioethanol concentration was increased up to 78.92% during the adsorption with a 45 min contact time with water vapor. Thus, based on the results, it can be concluded that nanosized zeolite-based adsorbents and activated charcoal produced from cocoa shells can be utilized as adsorbers to significantly increase the concentration of bioethanol generated.

Abstract
In recent years, the application of cow manure waste as an adsorbent of heavy metals in water and soil has increased. The analysis of the most effective adsorbents from cow manure as materials that can reduce heavy metals, while being low-cost and easy to produce, is important in the agricultural field. This study investigated adsorbents from cow manure, such as compost, biochar and humic acid, and analyzed the capability of the adsorption mechanisms of Cr, Pb and Cd. The experiments were performed as a function of pH, adsorbent dose, initial metal ion concentration, and contact time. To investigate the mechanism of the adsorption process, the Langmuir and Freundlich models were used. The results showed that the optimum conditions of Cr, Cd and Pb ions were achieved by compost, biochar and humic acid with 83–99% removal. An adsorption isotherm model for compost, biochar and humic acid generally followed the Langmuir and Freundlich models. This study ranks the different forms of cow manure waste in the following order based on their ease of production, high adsorption capacity, and low cost: biochar > compost > humic acid.

Abstract
Existing toxic solvents in the manufacturing of polymeric membranes have been raising concerns due to the risks of exposure to health and the environment. Furthermore, the lower tensile strength of the membrane renders these membranes unable to endure greater pressure during water treatment. To sustain a healthier ecosystem, fabrication of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membrane using a less toxic solvent, triethyl phosphate (TEP), with a lower molecular weight polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) (0–3 wt.%) additive were experimentally demonstrated via a phase inversion-based spinning technique at various air gap (10, 20 and 30 cm). Membrane with 2 wt.% of PEG 400 exhibited the desired ultrafiltration asymmetric morphology, while 3 wt.% PEG 400 resulting microfiltration. The surface roughness, porosity, and water flux performance increased as the loading of PEG 400 increased. The mechanical properties and contact angle of the fabricated membrane were influenced by the air gap where 20 cm indicate 2.91 MPa and 84.72°, respectively, leading to a stronger tensile and hydrophilicity surface. Lower toxicity TEP as a solvent helped in increasing the tensile properties of the membrane as well as producing an eco-friendly membrane towards creating a sustainable environment. The comprehensive investigation in this study may present a novel composition for the robust structure of polymeric hollow fiber membrane that is suitable in membrane technology.

Abstract
The separation and purification process of alkaloids faces great challenges of pollution, high energy consumption and low continuity. In this study, the effects of ceramic microfiltration (MF) membrane (membrane pore size of 0.50 μm, 0.20 μm, 0.05 μm) and organic ultrafiltration (UF) membrane (membrane molecular weight cut-off of 10 KDa and 1 KDa) on the separation and purification of Caulis sinomenii extract solution in pilot scale were studied. The cleaning effects of different cleaning methods (pure water, 1% HCl-NaOH, 1% sodium hypochlorite) were investigated. The experimental results indicated that 0.05 μm ceramic membrane and 1 kDa UF membrane have higher sinomenine hydrochloride (SH) permeabilities and total solids (TS) removal rates. The ceramic membrane was circulating cleaned by 1% sodium hypochlorite solution for 1 h; the membrane flux can be restored to more than 90% of the original, the membrane flux of 1 kDa UF membrane can be restored to 99.2% of the original by pure water washing. From the above study, the optimal technic parameters was determined in which 0.05 μm ceramic MF membrane and 1 kDa UF membrane were used to separate and purify the Caulis sinomenii extract solution to remove the invalid ingredients, and the two kinds of membranes were cleaned with 1% sodium hypochlorite solution and pure water, respectively, to keep satisfactory membrane fluxes. The study provided an environment-friendly alternative for the separation and purification of alkaloids in natural products, which has a good prospect for the industrial application.
