Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO), an important derivative of graphene, with a variety of active oxygen-containing groups (hydroxyl, carboxyl and epoxy) on its surface is easy to be functionalized to obtain adsorbent with high adsorption capacity. To date, the adsorption behaviour of organic pollutants by functionalized GO adsorbents have been extensively studied, but there has been no systematic review regarding the functionalization method of GO for the purpose to remove organic pollutants from wastewater. The leading objective of this review is to (i) summarize the functionalization strategies of GO for organic pollutants removal (covalent functionalization and non-covalent functionalization), (ii) evaluate the adsorption performance of functional GO towards organic pollutants by taking aromatic pollutants and dyes as examples and (iii) discuss the regeneration property and adsorption mechanism of functional GO adsorbent. In addition, the problems of existing studies and future research directions are also identified briefly.

The versatility of nanocellulose, modification strategies, and its current progress in wastewater treatment and environmental remediation. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 858:159937. [PMID: 36343829 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.159937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Deterioration in the environmental ecosystems through the depletion of nonrenewable resources and the burden of deleterious contaminants is considered a global concern. To this end, great interest has been shown in the use of renewable and environmentally-friendly reactive materials dually to promote environmental sustainability and cope with harmful contaminants. Among the different available options, the use of nanocellulose (NC) as an environmentally benign and renewable natural nanomaterial is an attractive candidate for environmental remediation owing to its miraculous physicochemical characteristics. This review discusses the intrinsic properties and the structural aspects of different types of NC, including cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), and bacterial cellulose (BC) or bacterial nanocellulose (BNC). Also, the different modification strategies involving the functionalization or hybridization of NC by using different functional and reactive materials aimed at wastewater remediation have been elaborated. The modified or hybridized NC has been explored for its applications in the removal or degradation of aquatic contaminants through adsorption, filtration, coagulation, catalysis, photocatalysis, and pollutant sensing. This review highlights the role of NC in the modified composites and describes the underlying mechanisms involved in the removal of contaminants. The life-cycle assessment (LCA) of NC is discussed to unveil the hidden risks associated with its production to the final disposal. Moreover, the contribution of NC in the promotion of waste management at different stages has been described in the form of the five-Rs strategy. In summary, this review provides rational insights to develop NC-based environmentally-friendly reactive materials for the removal and degradation of hazardous aquatic contaminants.

Abstract
The characteristics of aerogel materials such as the low density and large surface area enable them to adsorb large amounts of substances, so they show great potential for application in industrial wastewater treatment. Herein, using a combination of completely environmentally friendly materials such as cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) extracted from the petioles of the nipa palm tree and graphene oxide (GO) fabricated by simple solvent evaporation, a composite aerogel was prepared by a freeze-drying method. The obtained aerogel possessed a light density of 0.0264 g/cm3 and a porosity of more than 98.2%. It was able to withstand a weight as much as 2500 times with the maximum force (1479.5 N) to break up 0.2 g of an aerogel by compression strength testing and was stable in the aquatic environment, enabling it to be reused five times with an adsorption capacity over 90%. The CNF/GO aerogel can recover higher than 85% after 30 consecutive compression recovery cycles, which is convenient for the reusability of this material in wastewater treatments. The obtained aerogel also showed a good interaction between the component phases, a high thermal stability, a 3D network structure combined with thin walls and pores with a large specific surface area. In addition, the aerogel also exhibited a fast adsorption rate for methylene blue (MB) adsorption, a type of waste from the textile industry that pollutes water sources, and it can adsorb more than 99% MB in water in less than 20 min. The excellent adsorption of MB onto the CNF/GO aerogel was driven by electrostatic interactions, which agreed with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with a correlation coefficient R 2 = 0.9978. The initial results show that the CNF/GO aerogel is a highly durable "green" light material that might be applied in the treatment of domestic organic waste water and is completely recoverable and reusable.

Abstract
Novel adsorbents with high adsorption capacity, broad-spectrum adsorption performance, and good reusability are needed for the treatment of diverse and complex contaminants in water. In this work, we used in situ hydrothermal reaction to fabricate graphene oxide (GO) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) based aerogels (GPXA, X represented the volume of PVA) through the cross-linking network that meets the above requirement. After adding Ca2+, GP16A (with 16 mL PVA) had surprisingly rigid and super-elastic conversion that is dependent on water stimulus. The strong adsorption of methylene blue (MB) on GP16A illustrated that it had excellent dye removal ability. The adsorption capacity of GP16A to MB was 698.38 mg g-1 and it remained 85.62% after repeated adsorption-desorption cycles. The adsorption was controlled by multiple mechanisms including electrostatic interaction, π-π interaction, and hydrogen bond. In addition, hydrophobically modified GP16A (GP16A-MTMS) effectively absorbed common oils and organic solvents. Repeated absorption of GP16A-MTMS was re-activated by squeezing operation. This study provides an alternative technique for preparing aerogel materials with high recyclability, dimensional stability, and solvent resistance, and for dealing organic contaminants in water.

Abstract
A novel lysine and EDA double cross-linked graphene aerogel (LEGA) was constructed. The prepared LEGA was utilized as a methylene blue (MB) adsorbent in the wastewater treatment. It exhibits a three-dimensional interconnected porous structure benefiting dye adsorption. Its compression property is highly enhanced with the addition of lysine. Adsorption isotherm and kinetics of MB onto LEGA were discussed. Their results show that MB adsorption onto LEGA was fitted to follow Langmuir adsorption isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. LEGA has an excellent adsorption capacity towards MB as high as 332.23 mg/g and its MB adsorption process is proved to be an exothermic process. The mechanism for MB adsorption onto LEGA was proposed as the ion exchange, electrostatic interaction, π-π stacking interaction and hydrogen bonding. Thus, LEGA is confirmed to be a sustainable and green MB adsorbent with highly removal efficiency in the treatment of wastewater.

Abstract
A novel p(AA)-g-GO material was prepared by grafting polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) onto graphene oxide (GO) skeleton, presenting efficient removal of dyes from wastewater, because the layer spacing of GO is expanded and successfully introduced numerous polar carboxyl groups. The study revealed a rapid adsorption kinetic process and the adsorption capacity for methylene blue (MB) increases with pH, contact time, initial dye concentration and temperature. The maximum adsorption capacity is about 1448.2 mg/g at 25 °C for MB according to the Langmuir isotherm. More importantly, the adsorbent maintains excellent adsorption capacity after five cycles of adsorption-desorption and has remarkable selective separability for methylene blue/methyl orange mixed solution at pH = 10. Furthermore, the equilibrium adsorption capacities for other cationic dyes as malachite green (MG), basic fuchsin (BF) and rhodamine B (RhB) reached 582.1, 571.7 and 437.1 mg/g, respectively. Additionally, the mechanism analysis indicated that electrostatic interactions, π-π conjugation and hydrogen bonding are the predominant forces for adsorbing cationic dyes. Therefore, p(AA)-g-GO is an outstanding adsorbent and has a potential application prospect in the treatment of dye wastewater.

Abstract
Graphene based aerogel has become one of the most likely functional adsorption materials that is applicable to purify various contaminated water sources, such as dye wastewater, because of its high porosity, structural stability, large specific surface area, and high adsorption capacity. In this study, chitosan and graphene oxide were first selected as the matrix to prepare the composite hydrogel through the hydrothermal method, which was further frozen and dried to obtain the target aerogel. The microscopic structures and adsorption capacity of the composite aerogel were then characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and N2 (nitrogen) physical adsorption and desorption tests. The results show that the specific surface area of the composite aerogel was reached at 297.431 m2/g, which is higher than that of graphene oxide aerogel and chitosan aerogel. The aperture was reduced to about 3 nm. The adsorption rate of the composite aerogel for the methyl orange solution was as high as 97.2% at pH = 1, and the adsorption capacity was 48.6 mg/g. The adsorption process of the composite aerogel satisfies the Langmuir equation and can be described by the second-order adsorption kinetics. In addition, it is worth noting that this composite aerogel can provide a striking adsorption characteristic on methyl orange due to the combining effects from massive amino groups on chitosan and the structural conjugation of graphene oxide.

Abstract
The remediation of wastewater requires treatment technologies which are robust, efficient, simple to operate and affordable such as adsorption. Lately, three-dimensional (3D) graphene based materials have attracted significant attention as effective adsorbents for wastewater treatment. The intrinsic properties of 3D graphene structure such as large surface area and interconnected porous structure can facilitate the transport of pollutants into the 3D network and provide abundant active sites for trapping the pollutants. For the synthesis of 3D graphene structure, ice-templating is commonly practiced due to its facile steps, cost effectiveness and high scalability potential. This review covers the ice-templating fabrication technique for 3D graphene based materials and their application as adsorbents in eliminating dyes and heavy metals from aqueous media. The assembly mechanisms of the ice-templating fsynthesis are comprehensively discussed. Further discussion on the fundamental principles, critical process parameters and characteristics of ice-templated 3D graphene structures is also included. A thorough review on the mechanisms for batch adsorption of dyes and heavy metals is presented based on the structures and properties of the 3D graphene materials. The review further evaluates the dynamic adsorption in packed columns and the regeneration of 3D graphene based materials.

Abstract
Two viscose-based activated carbon fiber felts (VACFF-1300 and VACFF-1600) with different specific surface areas and pore structures were prepared via two-step carbonization and steam activation and characterized by SEM observation, N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, Fourier-transform infrared, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. They were used as adsorbents for the removal of methylene blue dye from aqueous solution, and the adsorption equilibrium and kinetics were studied via batch adsorption experiments and the adsorption mechanisms were investigated. Results showed that the equilibrium data for methylene blue adsorption onto VACFF-1300 and VACFF-1600 fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm model, with maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 256.1 mg/g and 325.8 mg/g, respectively. Besides, the adsorption kinetics study showed that the adsorption of methylene blue onto the two VACFF samples could be best described by the pseudo second-order model. Moreover, the intraparticle diffusion modelling showed that intraparticle diffusion is rate-controlling for both VACFF-1300 and VACFF-1600, and external diffusion is also a rate-controlling step for the latter.

Abstract
Self-assembly of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets into porous 3D sponges is a promising approach to exploit their capacity to adsorb contaminants while facilitating the recovery of the nanosheets from treated water. Yet, forming mechanically robust sponges with suitable adsorption properties presents a significant challenge. Ultra-strong and highly porous 3D sponges are formed using GO, vitamin C (VC), and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) - natural nanorods isolated from wood pulp. CNCs provide a robust scaffold for the partially reduced GO (rGO) nanosheets resulting in an exceptionally stiff nanohybrid. The concentration of VC as a reducing agent plays a critical role in tailoring the pore architecture of the sponges. By using excess amounts of VC, a unique hierarchical pore structure is achieved, where VC grains act as soft templates for forming millimeter-sized pores, the walls of which are also porous and comprised of micron-sized pores. The unique hierarchical pore structure ensures the interconnectivity of pores even at the core of large sponges as evidenced by micro and nano X-ray computed tomography. The unique pore architecture translates into an exceptional specific surface area for adsorption of a wide range of contaminants, such as dyes, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals and cyanotoxin from water.

Abstract
In this work, we developed a green synthesis method to prepare the hybrid aerogels containing graphene oxide (GO) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) using lithium bromide (LiBr) aqueous solution as the solvent, which insured the complete dissolution of MCC. The interaction between GO and MCC was investigated through different methods The results demonstrate that there is a strong interaction between GO and MCC molecules, which promotes the exfoliation of GO in the hybrid aerogels. The hybrid GO/MCC aerogels exhibit typical three dimensional porous structure and the pore morphology can be well adjusted by changing the content of GO. The adsorption ability of the hybrid aerogels was measured using methylene blue (MB) as an adsorbate. The results show that the adsorption ability of GO per unit mass is greatly enhanced compared with the pure GO aerogel, especially at relatively low GO content the adsorption amount of GO per unit mass is enhanced up to 2630mg/g. Further results demonstrate that the hybrid GO/MCC aerogels still obey the pseudo-second-order adsorption model, which is similar to that of the pure GO aerogel. The mechanism for the amplified adsorption ability of GO in the hybrid GO/MCC aerogels is then analyzed.
