Gelatin-carboxymethyl cellulose/iron-based metal-organic framework nanocomposite hydrogel as a promising biodegradable fertilizer release system: Synthesis, characterization, and fertilizer release studies. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:135316. [PMID: 39236953 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2024] [Revised: 08/12/2024] [Accepted: 09/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024]
Abstract
Application of fertilizers is a routine method in agriculture to increase the fertility of plants However, conventional fertilizers have raised serious health and environmental problems in recent years. Therefore, the development of biodegradable superabsorbent hydrogels based on natural polymers with the capability for fertilizer controlled release has attracted much interest. In the current research, a novel nanocomposite hydrogel based on gelatin and carboxymethyl cellulose polymers enriched with an iron based metal- organic framework (MIL-53 (Iron)) was prepared. The prepared nanocomposite hydrogel was loaded with NPK fertilizer to obtain a slow release fertilizer system. The structural properties of the nanocomposite hydrogel were investigated using FTIR, XRD, and SEM techniques. The swelling and fertilizer release behavior of the nanocomposite hydrogel were evaluated in conditions. Results showed that by adding iron-based metal organic framework to the hydrogel matrix, the water absorption capacity of the hydrogel system was increased to 345.8 (g/g). Fertilizer release studies revealed that the release of fertilizer from the nanocomposite matrix has a slow and continuous release pattern. Therefore, the synthesized nanocomposite has an appropriate strength and high potential to be used as a slow-release fertilizer system.

Abstract
This work reports on the electrochemical behaviour of Fe and Zn based metal-organic framework (MOF) compounds, which are "doped" with chiral molecules, namely: cysteine and camphor sulfonic acid. Their electrochemical behaviour was thoroughly investigated via "solid-state" electrochemical measurements, exploiting an "ad hoc" tailored experimental set-up: a paste obtained by carefully mixing the MOF with graphite powder is deposited on a glassy carbon (GC) surface. The latter serves as the working electrode (WE) in cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. Infrared (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and absorbance (UV-Vis) techniques are exploited for a further characterization of the MOFs' structural and electronic properties. The experimental results are then compared with DFT based quantum mechanical calculations. The electronic and structural properties of the MOFs synthesized in this study depend mainly on the type of metal center, and to a minor extent on the chemical nature of the dopant.

Abstract
A new kind of Camellia sinensis-loaded nanocomposite hydrogel based on modified gelatin/iron-metal-organic framework was developed as an antibacterial wound dressing. Gelatin as a biocompatible natural polymer was modified with methacrylate anhydride to produce gelatin methacrylate. Thereafter, acrylic acid and acrylamide were grafted on gelatin methacrylate during an aqueous polymerization process. To enhance the porosity, mechanical strength, and drug loading capability of the hydrogel and reduce its toxicity, iron- based metal-organic framework was incorporated within the hydrogel. To add more functionality to the final wound dressing, Camellia sinensis, an antibacterial herbal drug was loaded on the hydrogel. The structural and chemical properties of prepared nanocomposite hydrogel were investigated by FTIR, XRD, SEM, and TGA techniques. The incorporation of iron-based metal-organic framework within the hydrogel matrix led to an increase in its water absorption value from 400.10 to 547.96 (g/g). The release study of Camellia sinensis (CS) extract from the prepared nanocomposite hydrogel exhibited a sustained release manner. The antibacterial test revealed the nanocomposite hydrogel contain extract has an effective antibacterial function against "Bacillus serous", "Staphylococcus aureus", "Streptococcus mutans"," Escherichia coli", "Klebsiella pneumoniae", and "Pseudomonas aeruginosa" bacteria. Therefore, the synthesized nanocomposite is a good candidate as an antibacterial hydrogel wound dressing. .

Abstract
In this study, cobalt ferrite coated carbon felt (CoFe2O4/CF) was synthesized by solvothermal method and applied as cathode for electro-Fenton (EF) treatment of tartrazine (TTZ) in water. The materials were characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR, CV, and EIS to explore their physical, chemical, and electrical properties. The effects of solvothermal temperature and metal content on the TTZ removal were examined, showing that 220 °C with 2 mM of Co and 4 mM of Fe precursors were the best synthesis condition. Various influencing factors such as applied current density, pH, TTZ concentration, and electrolytes were investigated, and the optimal condition was found at 8.33 mA cm-2, pH 3, 50 mgTTZ L-1, and 50 mM of Na2SO4, respectively. By radical quenching test, , 1O2, and HO were recognized as the key reactive oxygen species and the reaction mechanism was proposed for the EF decolorization of TTZ using CoFe2O4/CF cathode. The reusability and stability test showed that the highly efficient CoFe2O4/CF cathode is very promising for practical application in wastewater treatment, especially for dyes and other recalcitrant organic compounds to improve its biodegradability.

Abstract
We developed free-standing nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber (CNF) electrodes incorporating Co/CoOx nanoparticles (NPs) as a new cathode material for removing Acid Orange 7 (AO7; a dye for wool) from wastewater by the heterogeneous electro-Fenton reaction. We produced the free-standing N-doped CNF electrodes by electrospinning a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and cobalt acetate solution followed by thermal carbonation of the cobalt acetate/PAN nanofibers under a nitrogen atmosphere. We then investigated electro-Fenton-based removal of AO7 from wastewater with the free-standing N-doped-CNFs-Co/CoOx electrodes, in the presence or not of Fe2+ ions as a co-catalyst. The electrochemical analysis showed the high stability of the prepared N-doped-CNF-Co/CoOx electrodes in electrochemical oxidation experiments with excellent degradation of AO7 (20 mM) at acidic to near neutral pH values (3 and 6). Electro-Fenton oxidation at 10 mA/cm2 direct current for 40 min using the N-doped-CNF-Co/CoOx electrodes loaded with 25 wt% of Co/CoOx NPs led to complete AO7 solution decolorization with total organic carbon (TOC) removal values of 92.4% at pH 3 and 93.3% at pH 6. The newly developed N-doped-CNF-Co/CoOx electrodes are an effective alternative technique for wastewater pre-treatment before the biological treatment.

Abstract
Metal–organic-frameworks (MOFs) are emerging materials used in the environmental electrochemistry community for Faradaic and non-Faradaic water remediation technologies. It has been concluded that MOF-based materials show improvement in performance compared to traditional (non-)faradaic materials. In particular, this review outlines MOF synthesis and their application in the fields of electron- and photoelectron-Fenton degradation reactions, photoelectrocatalytic degradations, and capacitive deionization physical separations. This work overviews the main electrode materials used for the different environmental remediation processes, discusses the main performance enhancements achieved via the utilization of MOFs compared to traditional materials, and provides perspective and insights for the further development of the utilization of MOF-derived materials in electrified water treatment.

Abstract
From metal-organic chemistry, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are of supreme interest for catalysis and environmental settings. Owing to anthropogenic sources and booming industrial practices, the most challenging issue is increased water pollution and environmental insecurity. For instance, several types of synthetic dyes are toxic up to a certain extent, as emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) pose adverse environmental and potential health consequences. A gradual increase in the contamination sources and unpredictable environmental changes in terms of anthropogenic pollution severely affect both water availability and distribution. Therefore, the treatment of dyes containing wastewater matrices for water resource generation is one of the most important tasks, which must be addressed effectively. With structural tunability, MOFs have been appearing as a robust tool for remediating toxic pollutants from wastewater matrices. Moreover, the promising functionality, structural tunability, robust catalytic attributes, compatibility, large surface area, stability in water, and ease in surface functionalization make MOFs one of the considerable materials of interest. This review work spotlights the present-day progress related to MOFs and their catalytic and adsorptive chemistry for a sustainable environment. Following a brief introduction, the characteristic rendering MOFs, as adsorbents, are given with prominent examples. Next, several synthesis routes as a roadmap to engineer MOFs are discussed. From the applied perspective, the adsorptive and catalytic potentialities of MOFs as given by addressing sustainable mitigation of toxic dyes. The last section of the work illustrates key challenging issues and future directions by considering the suiting importance of MOFs.

Abstract
Heterogeneous electro-Fenton (E-F) is considered as an attractive technique for efficient removal of refractory organic pollutants in wastewater. The regeneration of FeII and catalyst reusability are key issues for effective and sustainable degradation. Developing binder-free iron phase/carbon composite cathode is a feasible strategy. In this work, the stable Ce/Fe-nanoporous carbon modified graphite felt electrode (Ce/Fe@NPC-GF) was fabricated using in situ solvothermal method and subsequent carbonization treatment, which worked as the cathode in a heterogeneous electro-Fenton system to degrade sulfamethoxazole. The electrocatalytic activity was significantly improved with doping of Ce. It was found that mesoporous Ce/Fe@NPC-GF cathode demonstrated high oxygen reduction activity and low resistance. The co-existence of FeⅡ/FeⅢ and CeⅢ/CeⅣ redox couples enhanced remarkably interfacial electron transfer, promoting in-situ H2O2 generation and decomposition, sequentially boosting the production of reactive radicals (·OH and ·O2-). Under 20 mA and pH 3, Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) was basically degraded in 120 min, and the removal rate was satisfactory in wide pH (2-6). After 8 cycles, the electrode could still maintain high stability and outstanding catalytic capacity. This work displayed a novel in-situ preparation method of composite cathode with excellent catalytic performance in E-F system, which offered inspiration for developing efficient heterogeneous electro-Fenton cathode material.

Abstract
The regeneration rate of Fe2+ from Fe3+ dictates the performance of the electro-Fenton (EF) process, represented by the amount of produced hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Current strategies for the acceleration of Fe2+ regeneration normally require additional chemical reagents, to vary the redox potential of Fe2+/Fe3+. Here, we report an attempt at using the intrinsic property of the electrode to our advantage, i.e., nitrogen-doped carbon aerogel (NDCA), as a reducing agent for the regeneration of Fe2+ without using foreign reagents. Moreover, the pyrrolic N in NDCA provides unpaired electrons through the carbon framework to reduce Fe3+, while the graphitic and pyridinic N coordinate with Fe3+ to form a C-O-Fe-N2 bond, facilitating electron transfer from both the external circuit and pyrrolic N to Fe3+. Our Fe2+/NDCA-EF system exhibits a 5.8 ± 0.3 times higher performance, in terms of the amount of generated ·OH, than a traditional Fenton system using the same Fe2+ concentration. In the subsequent reaction, the Fe2+/NDCA-EF system demonstrates 100.0% removal of dimethyl phthalate, 3-chlorophenol, bisphenol A, and sulfamethoxazole with a low specific energy consumption of 0.17-0.36 kW·h·g-1. Furthermore, 90.1 ± 0.6% removal of dissolved organic carbon and 83.3 ± 0.9% removal of NH3-N are achieved in the treatment of domestic sewage. The purpose of this work is to present a novel strategy for the regeneration of Fe2+ in the EF process and also to elucidate the role of different N species of the carbonaceous electrode in contributing to the redox cycle of Fe2+/Fe3+.

Abstract
Electro-Fenton (EF) technique has gained significant attention in recent years owing to its high efficiency and environmental compatibility for the degradation of organic pollutants and contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). The efficiency of an EF reaction relies primarily on the formation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) via 2e─ oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the generation of hydroxyl radicals (●OH). This could be achieved through an efficient cathode material which operates over a wide pH range (pH 3-9). Herein, the current progresses on the advancements of carbonaceous cathode materials for EF reactions are comprehensively reviewed. The insights of various materials such as, activated carbon fibres (ACFs), carbon/graphite felt (CF/GF), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, carbon aerogels (CAs), ordered mesoporous carbon (OMCs), etc. are discussed inclusively. Transition metals and hetero atoms were used as dopants to enhance the efficiency of homogeneous and heterogeneous EF reactions. Iron-functionalized cathodes widened the working pH window (pH 1-9) and limited the energy consumption. The mechanism, reactor configuration, and kinetic models, are explained. Techno economic analysis of the EF reaction revealed that the anode and the raw materials contributed significantly to the overall cost. It is concluded that most reactions follow pseudo-first order kinetics and rotating cathodes provide the best H2O2 production efficiency in lab scale. The challenges, future prospects and commercialization of EF reaction for wastewater treatment are also discussed.

In-situ electro-generation and activation of hydrogen peroxide using a CuFeNLDH-CNTs modified graphite cathode for degradation of cefazolin. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2020; 267:110629.

Abstract
The modified multifunctional electrodes for electro-Fenton (EF) process are suggested to be promising cathodes for in situ electro-generation and activation of H2O2 to produce hydroxyl radicals (•OH). However, heterogeneous EF process still faces the challenges of limited catalytic activity and releasing of massive amounts of transition metals to the solution after removal of organic pollutants. The main aim of the present investigation was to prepare a cathode containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and CuFe nano-layered double hydroxide (NLDH) for degradation and mineralization of cefazolin antibiotic through electro-Fenton process. Structural and electrochemical analyses demonstrated that CuFeNLDH-CNTs nanocomposite was successfully incorporated on the surface of graphite cathode. Due to the increased formation of •OH in the reactor, the incorporation of CNTs into NLDH matrix with a catalyst loading of 0.1 g substantially improved the degradation efficiency of cefazolin (89.9%) in comparison with CNTs-coated (28.7%) and bare graphite cathode (22.8%) within 100 min. In the presence of 15 mM of ethanol, the degradation efficiency of cefazolin was remarkably decreased to 43.7% by the process, indicating the major role of •OH in the destruction of target molecules. Acidic conditions favored the degradation efficiency of cefazolin by the modified EF process. Mineralization efficiency of the bio-refractory compound was obtained to be 70.1% in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD) analysis after 300 min. The gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis was also implemented to identify the intermediate byproducts generated during the degradation of cefazolin in the CuFeNLDH-CNTs/EF reactor.

Abstract
Herein, the novel application of FeS2/C nanocomposite as a highly active, stable, and recyclable catalyst for heterogeneous electro-Fenton (EF) treatment of organic water pollutants is discussed. The simultaneous carbonization and sulfidation of an iron-based metal-organic framework (MOF) yielded well-dispersed pyrite FeS2 nanoparticles of ∼100 nm diameter linked to porous carbon. XPS analysis revealed the presence of doping N atoms. EF treatment with an IrO2/air-diffusion cell ensured the complete removal of the antidepressant fluoxetine spiked into urban wastewater at near-neutral pH after 60 min at 50 mA with 0.4 g L-1 catalyst as optimum dose. The clear enhancement of catalytic activity and stability of the material as compared to natural pyrite was evidenced, as deduced from its characterization before and after use. The final solutions contained <1.5 mg L-1 dissolved iron and became progressively acidified. Fluorescence excitation-emission spectroscopy with parallel factor analysis demonstrated the large mineralization of all wastewater components at 6 h, which was accompanied by a substantial decrease of toxicity. A mechanism with •OH as the dominant oxidant was proposed: FeS2 core-shell nanoparticles served as Fe2+ shuttles for homogeneous Fenton's reaction and provided active sites for the heterogeneous Fenton process, whereas nanoporous carbon allowed minimizing the mass transport limitations.
