Kapoor RT, Zdarta J. Fabrication of engineered biochar for remediation of toxic contaminants in soil matrices and soil valorization. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 358:142101. [PMID: 38653395 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
Biochar has emerged as an efficacious green material for remediation of a wide spectrum of environmental pollutants. Biochar has excellent characteristics and can be used to reduce the bioavailability and leachability of emerging pollutants in soil through adsorption and other physico-chemical reactions. This paper systematically reviewed previous researches on application of biochar/engineered biochar for removal of soil contaminants, and underlying adsorption mechanism. Engineered biochar are derivatives of pristine biochar that are modified by various physico-chemical and biological procedures to improve their adsorption capacities for contaminants. This review will promote the possibility to expand the application of biochar for restoration of degraded lands in the industrial area or saline soil, and further increase the useable area. This review shows that application of biochar is a win-win strategy for recycling and utilization of waste biomass and environmental remediation. Application of biochar for remediation of contaminated soils may provide a new solution to the problem of soil pollution. However, these studies were performed mainly in a laboratory or a small scale, hence, further investigations are required to fill the research gaps and to check real-time applicability of engineered biochar on the industrial contaminated sites for its large-scale application.

Abstract
The elimination of dyes discharged from industrial wastewater into water bodies is crucial due to its detrimental effects on aquatic organisms and potential carcinogenic impact on human health. Various methods are employed for dye removal, but they often fall short in completely degrading the dyes and generating large amounts of suspended solids. Hence, there is a critical need for an efficient process that can achieve complete dye degradation with minimal waste emission. Among traditional water treatment approaches, photocatalysis stands out as a promising method for degrading diverse toxic and organic pollutants present in wastewater. In this review, the heterogeneous photocatalysis process is well explained for dye removal. This comprehensive review not only provides insightful illumination on the classification of dyes but also thoroughly explains various dye removal methods and the underlying mechanisms of photocatalysis. Furthermore, factors which effect the activity of the photocatalysis process are also explained in detail. Likewise, we categorized the heterogeneous photocatalyst in three generations and observed their activity for dye removal. This review also addresses the challenges and effectiveness of this promising field. Its primary aim is to offer a comprehensive overview of the photocatalytic degradation of pollution and to explore its potential for further future applications.

Progress in membrane distillation processes for dye wastewater treatment: A review. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 360:142347. [PMID: 38759802 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
Textile and cosmetic industries generate large amounts of dye effluents requiring treatment before discharge. This wastewater contains high levels of reactive dyes, low to none-biodegradable materials and chemical residues. Technically, dye wastewater is characterised by high chemical and biological oxygen demand. Biological, physical and pressure-driven membrane processes have been extensively used in textile wastewater treatment plants. However, these technologies are characterised by process complexity and are often costly. Also, process efficiency is not achieved in cost-effective biochemical and physical treatment processes. Membrane distillation (MD) emerged as a promising technology harnessing challenges faced by pressure-driven membrane processes. To ensure high cost-effectiveness, the MD can be operated by solar energy or low-grade waste heat. Herein, the MD purification of dye wastewater is comprehensively and yet concisely discussed. This involved research advancement in MD processes towards removal of dyes from industrial effluents. Also, challenges faced by this process with a specific focus on fouling are reviewed. Current literature mainly tested MD setups in the laboratory scale suggesting a deep need of further optimization of membrane and module designs in near future, especially for textile wastewater treatment. There is a need to deliver customized high-porosity hydrophobic membrane design with the appropriate thickness and module configuration to reduce concentration and temperature polarization (CP and TP). Also, energy loss should be minimized while increasing dye rejection and permeate flux. Although laboratory experiments remain pivotal in optimizing the MD process for treating dye wastewater, the nature of their time intensity poses a challenge. Given the multitude of parameters involved in MD process optimization, artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies present a promising avenue for assistance. Thus, AI-driven algorithms have the potential to enhance overall process efficiency, cutting down on time, fine-tuning parameters, and driving cost reductions. However, achieving an optimal balance between efficiency enhancements and financial outlays is a complex process. Finally, this paper suggests a research direction for the development of effective synthetic and natural dye removal from industrially discharged wastewater.

Abstract
The release of toxic azo dyes pollutants in the environment from different industries represents a public health concern and a serious environmental problem. Therefore, the conversion of hazardous methyl orange (MO) azo dye to environmentally benign products is a critical demand. In this work, an eco-friendly Prussian blue analogue (PBA) was synthesized and its catalytic activity toward the reduction of MO was investigated. The PBA copper(ii) hexacyanocobaltate(III) (Cu3[Co(CN)6]2) was synthesized by a facile inexpensive chemical coprecipitation method without using hazardous solvents. The nanocatalyst was characterized using XPS, Raman, FTIR spectroscopy, and XRD. The chemical reduction of MO using NaBH4 and the PBA as nanocatalyst was monitored by UV-VIS spectroscopy. Toxic MO was completely reduced in 105 s with a rate constant (k) 0.0386 s-1 using only 10 μg of the PBA nanocatalyst. Besides the powerful catalytic activity, the nanocatalyst also showed excellent stability and recyclability for ten consecutive cycles, with no significant decrease in the catalytic performance. Therefore, the proposed PBA is a promising, stable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly nanocatalyst for the rapid elimination of hazardous azo dyes.

Abstract
The rapid development of the industrial world causes wastewater containing dyes to continue to increase. Even in recent years, the food, textile, cosmetic, plastic, and printing industries have developed the use of dyes. Methylene blue (MB) is one of the cationic dyes widely used in dyeing silk, wood, and cotton because of its absorbency and good fastness to materials. The adsorption process is the best technique and preferred in removing dyes from wastewater due to excellent selectivity, high efficiency from high-quality treated effluent, flexibility in design, and simplicity. Therefore, there is a growing interest to identify low-cost alternative adsorbents that have reasonable adsorption efficiency, especially natural materials such as leaves. In this study, research on MB adsorption using leaves was analyzed using bibliometric analysis. Information of bibliometric is extracted from the Scopus database with the keyword "Methylene Blue", "Adsorption or Desorption", and "Leaves or leaf". The results showed that India, Desalination and Water Treatment, and SASTRA Deemed University were the country, journal, and institution that contributed the most publications on this topic. Therefore, it is expected that with the use of bibliometrics, the use of leaf-based MB adsorption processes in their potential for MB dye removal can be investigated especially for large-scale development.

Abstract
The present study investigated the removal of malachite green dye from aquifers by means of microalgae-derived mesoporous diatom biosilica. The various process variables (dye concentration, pH, and adsorbent dose) influencing the removal of the dye were optimized and their interactive effects on the removal efficiency were explored by response surface methodology. The pH of the solution (pH = 5.26) was found to be the most dominating among other tested variables. The Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.995) best fitted the equilibrium adsorption data with an adsorption capacity of 40.7 mg/g at 323 K and pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.983) best elucidated the rate of dye removal (10.6 mg/g). The underlying mechanism of adsorption was investigated by Weber-Morris and Boyd models and results revealed that the film diffusion governed the overall adsorption process. The theoretical investigations on the dye structure using DFT-based chemical reactivity descriptors indicated that malachite green cations are electrophilic, reactive and possess the ability to accept electrons, and are strongly adsorbed on the surface of diatom biosilica. Also, the Fukui function analysis proposed the favorable adsorption sites available on the adsorbent surface.

Abstract
Wastewater containing organic dyes has become one of the important challenges in water treatment due to its high salt content and resistance to natural degradation. In this work, a novelty adsorbent, PEI-SMA, was prepared by grafting polyethyleneimine (PEI) onto styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer (SMA) through an amidation reaction. The various factors, such as pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, dye concentration, and temperature, which may affect the adsorption of PEI-SMA for Reactive Black 5 (RB5), were systematically investigated by static adsorption experiments. The adsorption process of PEI-SMA for RB5 was more consistent with the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order model, suggesting a single-layer chemisorption. PEI-SMA exhibits excellent adsorption performance for RB5 dye, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 1749.19 mg g-1 at pH = 2. Additionally, PEI-SMA exhibited highly efficient RB5 competitive adsorption against coexisting Cl- and SO42- ions and cationic dyes. The adsorption mechanism was explored, and it can be explained as the synergistic effect of electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding and π-π interaction. This study demonstrates that PEI-SMA could act as a high performance and promising candidate for the effective adsorption of anionic dyes from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Upon uptake of toxins, insects launch a detoxification program. This program is deployed in multiple organs and cells to raise their tolerance against the toxin. The molecular mechanisms of this program inside the insect body have been studied and understood in detail. Here, we report on a yet unexplored extra-corporeal detoxification of insecticides in Drosophila melanogaster. Wild-type D. melanogaster incubated with DDT, a contact insecticide, in a closed environment died as expected. However, incubation of a second cohort in the same environment after removal of the dead flies was not lethal. The effect was significantly lower if the flies of the two cohorts were unrelated. Incubation assays with Chlorpyrifos, another contact insecticide, yielded identical results, while incubation assays with Chlorantraniliprole, again a contact insecticide, was toxic for the second cohort of flies. A cohort of flies incubated in a DDT environment after an initial incubation of a honeybee survived treatment. Together, our data suggest that insects including Apis mellifera and D. melanogaster have the capacity to modify their proximate environment. Consequently, in their ecological niche, following individuals might be saved from intoxication thereby facilitating colonisation of an attractive site.

Abstract
In the textile industry, textile materials are dyed and multi-functionalised by multi-step treatments that considerably increase the environmental impacts by increasing water and energy usage along with increasing the generation of volume of effluent. In this work, Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were in situ formed and stabilised with gallnut, feijoa fruit skin, and mango seed kernel-derived tannins, and wool fabrics were coated simultaneously with these Ag NPs in the same bath. The Ag NP treatment produced dark to light olive-brown shades on wool fabrics. The treatment conditions for the treatment with Ag NPs were optimised to achieve the best results. The colour intensity, UV radiation absorption, antibacterial activity, surface electrical resistance, and durability of the treatment to washing were assessed by various methods. The gallnut-derived tannin (GNT)-stabilised Ag NP-coated wool fabrics showed overall the best results including excellent antibacterial activity against various types of bacteria. The treatment was durable to at least 20 cycles of IWS 7A washes (equivalent to 80 domestic washes). For the 0.5% Ag NPs on the weight of fibre (owf) dosage, the UV light transmission through the trisodium citrate-stabilised Ag NP-coated fabric at 365 and 311 nm was 6.37 and 0.95% respectively, which reduced to 1.63 and 0.20% for the fabric coated with GNT-stabilised Ag NPs providing excellent protection against UV radiation. The surface resistivity of wool fabric reduced from 1.1 × 1012 ohm cm-1 for the untreated fabric to 1.1 × 109 ohm cm-1 for the fabric coated with 2.0% owf GNT-stabilised Ag NPs. The stabilisation of Ag NPs with GNT prolonged the wash-durability by reducing the leaching of Ag NPs from the treated fabric. The developed method could be a sustainable alternative to traditional multi-stage treatments conducted in the textile industry with toxic synthetic dyes and finishing agents for the colouration and multifunctionalisation of wool fabrics.

Abstract
The direct thermal polymerization techniques were applied to prepare the graphene oxide (GO)-graphitic carbon nitride (gCN) hybrid structure. The prepared hybrid heterojunction GO-gCN nanosheets were utilized as a photocatalyst to remove model pollutants methylene blue (MB) dye. The basic physio-chemical properties of GO-gCN layered materials have been analyzed by various characterization techniques. In addition, the proposed materials have a higher photocatalytic ability toward the degradation of aqueous solution of MB dye under visible light irradiation within a short treatment time. This is because it's the synergistic effects of GO-gCN layer-by-layer structures produced by π─π stacking with charge-transfer interactions. The gCN with GO composite can able to enhance the charge transfer and light-harvesting properties. Under the influence of photocatalyst, the surface of Graphene oxide undergoes the separation and combination of carbonyl radicals, hydroxyl radicals, epoxy radicals, and electron-hole pairs. This enhances the absorption of visible light and improves the degradation of MB, when GO is incorporated into gCN. The removal efficiency of MB reached up to 82.311% within the short treatment time.

[PMID: 38244870 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
The treatment of dye-containing wastewater generated from textile industries is still a challenge, and various technologies, including physical, chemical and biological ones have been used. In recent years, the ionizing radiation (usually including gamma ray generated by radionuclide, such as 60Co and 137Cs, and electron beam generated by electron accelerator) technology has received increasing attention for degrading refractory or toxic organic pollutants in wastewater because of its unique advantages, such as no chemical additives, fast reaction rate, strong degradation capacity, high efficiency, flexibility, controllability. Compared to the conventional wastewater treatment processes, ionizing radiation technology, as a disruptive wastewater treatment technology, is more efficient for the decolorization and degradation of dyes and the treatment of dye-containing wastewater. In this paper, the recent advances in the treatment of dye-containing wastewater by ionizing radiation, in particular by electron beam (EB) radiation were summarized and analyzed, focusing on the decolorization and degradation of various dyes. Firstly, the formation of various reactive species induced by radiation and their interactions with dye molecules, as well as the influencing factors on the removal efficiency of dyes were discussed. Secondly, the researches on the treating dye-containing wastewater by electron beam radiation technology were systematically reviewed. Then, the decolorization and degradation mechanisms by electron beam radiation were further discussed in detail. And the integrated processes that would contribute to the advancement of this technology in practical applications were examined. More importantly, the recent advances of electron beam radiation technology from laboratory to application were reviewed, especially successful operation of dye-containing wastewater treatment facilities in China. And eventually, current challenges, future research directions, and outlooks of electron beam radiation technology were proposed for further advancing this technology for the sustainable development of water resources.

Graphene oxide as an emerging sole adsorbent and photocatalyst: Chemistry of synthesis and tailoring properties for removal of emerging contaminants. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 352:141483. [PMID: 38378052 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141483] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
Contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) contain a wide range of compounds, such as pharmaceutical waste, pesticides, herbicides, industrial chemicals, organic dyes, etc. Their presence in the surrounding has extensive and multifaceted effects on human health as they have the potential to persist in the environment, accumulate in biota, and disrupt ecosystems. In this regard, various remediation methods involving different kind of functional nanomaterials with unique properties have been developed. The functional nanomaterials can provide several mechanisms for water pollutant removal, such as adsorption, catalysis, and disinfection, in a single platform. Graphene oxide (GO) is a two-dimensional carbon-based material that has an extremely large surface area and a large number of active sites. Recent advances in synthesising GO have shown great progress in tailoring its various physiochemical, optical, surface, structural properties etc., making it better adsorbent and photocatalysts. In this review, sole adsorbent and standalone photocatalytic performances of GO for the removal of CEC have been discussed in light of tailoring its adsorption and photocatalytic properties through novel synthesis routes and optimizing synthesis parameters. This review also examines various models describing the structure of GO and its surface/structural modifications for improved adsorption and photocatalytic properties. The article provides valuable information for the production of efficient and cost-effective GO-based sole adsorbents and photocatalysts as compared to the traditional materials. Furthermore, future prospective and challenges for sole GO nanostructures to compete with traditional adsorbents and photocatalysts have been discussed providing interesting avenues for future research.

Sci Rep 2024; 14:2284. [PMID: 38280908 PMCID: PMC10821873 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-52688-y] [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: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), an organic photocatalyst was reported to have beneficial properties to be used in wastewater treatment applications. However, g-C3N4, in its bulk form was found to have poor photocatalytic degradation efficiency due to its inherent limitations such as poor specific surface area and fast electron-hole pair recombination rate. In this study, we have tuned the physiochemical properties of bulk g-C3N4 by direct thermal exfoliation (TE-g-C3N4) and examined their photocatalytic degradation efficiency against abundant textile dyes such as methylene blue (MB), methyl orange (MO), and rhodamine B (RhB). The degradation efficiencies for MB, MO, and RhB dyes are 92 ± 0.18%, 93 ± 0.31%, and 95 ± 0.4% respectively in 60 min of UV light irradiation. The degradation efficiency increased with an increase in the exfoliation temperature. The prepared catalysts were characterized using FTIR, XRD, FE-SEM, EDAX, BET, and UV-DRS. In BET analysis, TE-g-C3N4 samples showed improved surface area (48.20 m2/g) when compared to the bulk g-C3N4 (5.03 m2/g). Further, the TE-g-C3N4 had 2.98 times higher adsorption efficiency than the bulk ones. The free radicals scavenging studies revealed that the superoxide radicals played an important role in the photodegradation for dyes, when compared to the hydroxyl radical (.OH) and the photo-induced holes (h+), Photoluminescence (PL) emission and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) spectra of TE-g-C3N4 indicated a lowered electron-hole pairs' recombination rate and an increased photo-induced charge transfer respectively. Further, the TE-g-C3N4 were found to have excellent stability for up to 5 cycles with only a minor decrease in the activity from 92% to 86.2%. These findings proved that TE-g-C3N4 was an excellent photocatalyst for the removal and degradation of textile dyes from wastewater.

Abstract
Since ecosystems are becoming inherently polluted, long-term contaminant removal methods are required. Electrodeionization, in particular, has recently been demonstrated as an effective approach for eliminating ionic compounds from contaminated water sources. Being a more environmentally friendly technology is most likely the main reason for its eminence. It uses electricity to replace toxic contaminants that are conventionally used to regenerate and hence reducing the toxins associated with resin regeneration. In wastewater treatment, continuous electrodeionization system overcomes several limitations of ion exchange resins, notably ion dumping. This prospective assessment delves into the mechanism, principle, and theory of electrodeionization system. It also focused on the design and applications, particularly in the removal of toxic compounds, as well as current advances in the electrodeionization system. Recent breakthroughs in electrodeionization were comprehensively discussed. Further developments in electrodeionization systems are also projected, with improved efficiency at the time of functioning at lower costs because of reduced energy use, proving them desirable for commercial usage with a broad array of applications across the globe.

Abstract
Chlorophenol and Congo Red dye being highly toxic are well known for their carcinogenic activity. This work focuses on preparing an organogel for the removal of both chlorophenol and Congo Red. PAni molecules were grafted in situ between the layers of montmorillonite (MMT) to form a PAni/MMT composite, which was further modified to form a gel structure. The composite was thoroughly characterized by high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HR-XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The gel was further analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and by studying the rheological properties. The resulting gel exhibited an impressive solvent uptake, with a maximum of 2084% (20 times) for chlorophenol, while the dye adsorption capacity was 349.72 mg/g with 99.44% removal efficiency. The adsorption proceeded with the pseudo-second-order model followed by the Langmuir monolayer adsorption model and Weber's intraparticle diffusion model. The sorbent was found to be selective among cationic dyes while retaining 83% of dye even in the fifth cycle. The hybrid sorbent shows great promise for sustainable purposes, and the results of this study are certainly encouraging.

Abstract
This work aims to removing anionic food dyes, Acid Red18 (E124) and Quinoline Yellow WS (E104), from their aqueous solutions. The Emulsion Liquid Membrane (ELM) technique was used. ELM consists of diluent (kerosene), nonionic surfactant (0.5 wt. % Triton X-45), Aliquat 336 as an extractant. Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) solution was used as an internal aqueous phase. The key parameters impacting the stability of liquid membrane and the efficiency of dye removal were investigated; Almost 98% of E124 at 50 mg/L are successfully extracted under optimum conditions. The extraction of a mixture of the two dyes at equal concentrations (25 mg/L) was conducted and their extraction showed more than 95% of efficiency. The experimental results of dye mixture (E124, E104) extraction were expressed by the following three quantities: The concentration of Triton X-45, the concentration of Aliquat 336, and the internal phase concentration of H2SO4, represented on three dimensional plots using the Box-Behnken design and the response surface methodology. For each of the parameters, the values of which were determined by experimental design, these results were subjected to empirical smoothing. The values, thus calculated, are consistent with the measurements.

Abstract
This critical review points out the most serious and problematic issues to be found in the literature on the adsorption of dyes on clay minerals. The introduction draws attention to the fundamental problems, namely the insufficient characterization of adsorbents, the influence of impurities on the adsorption of dyes, and the choice of inappropriate models for the description of the very complex systems that clay minerals and their systems represent. This paper discusses the main processes accompanying adsorption in colloidal systems of clay minerals. The relationship between the stability of the colloidal systems and the adsorption of dye molecules is analyzed. The usual methodological procedures for determining and evaluating the adsorption of dyes are critically reviewed. A brief overview and examples of modified clay minerals and complex systems for the adsorption of organic dyes are summarized. This review is a guide for avoiding some faults in characterizing the adsorption of organic dyes on clay minerals, to improve the procedure for determining adsorption, to evaluate results correctly, and to find an appropriate theoretical interpretation. The main message of this article is a critical analysis of the current state of the research in this field, but at the same time, it is a guide on how to avoid the most common problems and mistakes.

Abstract
In this study, biocarbon was obtained from the waste material corn digest. Carbon adsorbents were obtained by physical activation of the precursor with CO2. Detailed physicochemical characterization of the biocarbon was carried out using low-temperature nitrogen adsorption/desorption, Boehm titration, zero-charge point (pHpzc) and iodine number. In addition, the sorption capacity of the biocarbon agents towards an aqueous solution of methylene blue and methyl red was determined, and the kinetics of the adsorption process were determined. The biocarbon adsorbents were characterized by an average developed specific surface area covering the range from 320 to 616 m2/g. The sorption capacity of the biocarbon adsorbents against methylene blue ranged from 40 mg/g to 146 mg/g, and for methyl red it covered the range from 31 mg/g to 113 mg/g. It was shown that the efficiency of organic dye removal by the obtained biocarbons depends on the initial concentration of the adsorbate solution, its mass, shaking rate, adsorbent-adsorbate contact time and temperature. The results obtained from the Langmuir and Freundlich kinetic models showed that the Langmuir model is the most suitable model for describing the adsorption of the studied pollutants on biocarbon. In turn, the adsorption kinetics of dyes is described according to the pseudo-second-order model. Adsorption studies also showed that as the process temperature increases, the removal efficiency of methylene blue and methyl red increases.

Abstract
Polystyrene (PS) is a thermoplastic polymer used in food packaging and the manufacture of trays and cups, among other applications. In this work, the preparation of a membrane by electrospinning blended sulphonated expanded PS waste and polybutylenesuccinate (PBS) is described. The fiber quality is controlled by selecting the right polymers' ratios and solvents. Investigation of the structure of the produced membranes by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance confirmed the successful sulphonation of expanded PS and the appearance of characteristic (PBS) bands in the prepared blends. Morphology study of the electrospun membranes using a scanning electron microscope revealed that the quality of the fibers is improved significantly by increasing the amount of PBS in the blend solution. Moreover, continuous and more homogenous fibers are produced by increasing the ratio of PBS to 2%. The efficiency of the prepared membranes in dye removal was tested using methylene blue. The effects of different parameters such as, pH, contact time, temperature, and dye concentration have been studied. Also, kinetic and adsorption isotherm models as well as the durability of the prepared membranes were investigated. The membrane prepared from PSS/1% PBS demonstrated the highest dye uptake (846 mol) with good regeneration efficiency. The adsorption process was found to be endothermic and fits the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The values of activation energy for the adsorption process are 36.98, 30.70, and 43.40 kJ/mol over PSS, PSS/1% PBS and PSS/2% PBS, respectively.

Abstract
In the present study, the ability of an adsorbent (SLM Stem) obtained from the stem of the Silybum Marianum plant to treat wastewater containing the cationic dyes basic blue 3 (BB3) and basic yellow 28 (BY28) from aqueous solutions was investigated using a batch method. Then, the SLM Stem (SLM Stem-Natural) adsorbent was carbonized at different temperatures (200-900 °C) and the removal capacity of the products obtained for both dyes was examined again. The investigation continued with the product carbonized at 800 °C (SLM Stem-800 °C), the adsorbent with the highest removal capacity. The dyestuff removal studies were continued with the SLM Stem-Natural and SLM Stem-800 °C adsorbents because they had the highest removal values. The surface properties of these two adsorbents were investigated using IR, SEM, and XRD measurements. It was determined that the SLM Stem-Natural has mainly non-porous material, and the SLM Stem-800 °C has a microporous structure. The optimal values for various parameters, including adsorbent amount, initial dye solution concentration, contact time, temperature, pH, and agitation speed, were investigated for BY28 dye and were 0.05 g, 15 mg/L, 30 min, 40 °C, pH 6 and 100 rpm when SLM Stem-Natural adsorbent was used and, 0.15 g, 30 mg/L, 30 min, 40 °C, pH 10, and 150 rpm when SLM Stem-800 °C adsorbent was used. For BB3 dye, optimal parameter values of 0.20 g, 10 mg/L, 30 min, 25 °C, pH 7, and 100 rpm were obtained when SLM Stem-Natural adsorbent was used and 0.15 g, 15 mg/L, 40 min, 40 °C, pH 10, and 100 rpm when SLM Stem-800 °C adsorbent was used. The Langmuir isotherm described the adsorption process best, with a value of r2 = 0.9987. When SLM Stem-800 °C adsorbent was used for BY28 dye at 25 °C, the highest qm value in the Langmuir isotherm was 271.73 mg/g. When the study was repeated with actual water samples under optimum conditions, the highest removal for the BY28 dye was 99.9% in tap water with the SLM Stem-800 °C adsorbent. Furthermore, the reuse study showed the adsorbent's efficiency even after three repetitions.

Abstract
Nanocomposites such as graphene oxide (GO) have been incorporated into hydrogels to enhance conventional hydrogels' properties and develop new functions. Unique and strong molecular interactions between GO and low molecular weight gelators allow the fabrication of various functional hydrogels suitable for different applications. In the present study, we report a stable and soft nanocomposite hydrogel comprising a pyrene-based chiral amphipath having an amino acid (l-phenylalanine) core with pendant oligo-oxyethylene hydrophilic chains and GO. The mechanical and viscoelastic properties of the nanocomposite hydrogel were thoroughly studied using various spectroscopic, microscopic, and mechanical techniques. Even without GO, native hydrogels could form a self-supported thermoreversible and thixotropic hydrogel composed of the fibrillar network. Unlike native hydrogels, the morphological investigation of nanocomposite gels shows the presence of cross-linked nanosheet-like structures. The combined effect of π-π stacking and H-bonding interactions is the driving force for the formation of such composite hydrogels. Moreover, the nanocomposite hydrogels possess significantly superior mechanical stiffness than the native hydrogels. Interestingly, the thixotropic properties observed with the parent gel were retained even in the presence of carbon nanomaterials (GO). The nanocomposite hydrogel could be employed in the optical sensing of a biogenic polyamine, spermine, resulting in a visible gel-to-sol transition. The superior electrostatic interaction between the GOs and spermine molecules might have led to the release of entrapped fluorogenic dyes from the hydrogel network and a turn-on emission response. The sensory system was employed to analyze spermine content in human urine samples and decomposed food items. A gel-coated paper strip was also developed for onsite detection of the spermine. The nanocomposite hydrogel was further utilized to remove toxic organic dyes such as methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB) from the aqueous media. The nanocomposite hydrogel thus showed excellent dye removal capabilities and was also found to be recyclable. Calculations of different mechanical parameters suggest that the dye removal efficiency of the nanocomposite hydrogel was better for MB than for RhB.

Abstract
The environment and public health are currently being threatened by the water pollution caused by dyes. Finding eco-friendly and economically viable photocatalysts has been a hot issue in recent years, as photocatalytic dye degradation is essential for eliminating dye from contaminated water as compared to other methods because of the cost factor and efficiency in removing organic contaminants. Using un-doped ZnSe for degrading activity has very seldom been attempted up to this point. Therefore, the current research focuses on the use of zinc selenide nanomaterials, which are produced via a green synthesis process from the organic waste peels of orange and potato using the hydrothermal method, and utilizes them as photocatalysts for the degradation of dyes using sunlight as a natural source of light. The crystal structure, bandgap, and surface morphology and analysis of the synthesized materials serve as indicators of their characteristics. Citrate in orange peel-mediated synthesis assists in forming a particle size of 1.85 nm and a large surface area of 17.078 m2/g enabling more surface-active sites resulting in degradation efficiency of 97.16% and 93.61% for methylene blue and Congo red dye, respectively, which outperforms commercial ZnSe in the dye degradation. The presented work maintains overall sustainability in real-practical applications by utilizing sunlight in photocatalytic degradation activity instead of sophisticated equipment and using waste peels as a capping and stabilizing agent in the green synthesis method for the preparation of photocatalysts.

Abstract
Biological treatment methods overcome many of the drawbacks of physicochemical strategies and play a significant role in removing dye contamination for environmental sustainability. Numerous microorganisms have been investigated as promising dye-degrading candidates because of their high metabolic potential. However, few can be applied on a large scale because of the extremely harsh conditions in effluents polluted with multiple dyes, such as alkaline pH, high salinity/heavy metals/dye concentration, high temperature, and oxidative stress. Therefore, extremophilic microorganisms offer enormous opportunities for practical biodegradation processes as they are naturally adapted to multi-stress conditions due to the special structure of their cell wall, capsule, S-layer proteins, extracellular polymer substances (EPS), and siderophores structural and functional properties such as poly-enzymes produced. This review provides scientific information for a broader understanding of general dyes, their toxicity, and their harmful effects. The advantages and disadvantages of physicochemical methods are also highlighted and compared to those of microbial strategies. New techniques and methodologies used in recent studies are briefly summarized and discussed. In particular, this study addresses the key adaptation mechanisms, whole-cell, enzymatic degradation, and non-enzymatic pathways in aerobic, anaerobic, and combination conditions of extremophiles in dye degradation and decolorization. Furthermore, they have special metabolic pathways and protein frameworks that contribute significantly to the complete mineralization and decolorization of the dye when all functions are turned on. The high potential efficiency of microbial degradation by unculturable and multi-enzyme-producing extremophiles remains a question that needs to be answered in practical research.

Abstract
Zinc smelting wastewater contains high concentrations of Cd. Here, the treatment efficiency of Cd using electrodialysis was evaluated. In addition, scale accumulation of ion-exchange membrane (IEM) was analyzed, and fouling control was studied. The results showed that spacers effectively improved the limiting current density but accelerated foulant accumulation. The Cd-treatment efficiency improved to 85.4% without a spacer. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and hydrophobic DOC levels in diluted water decreased by 0.65 mg L-1 and 2.1 mg L-1, respectively; in contrast, hydrophilic DOC level increased by 1.45 mg L-1. Some of the hydrophobic DOC in the diluted water was converted to hydrophilic DOC and subsequently to low-molecular-weight (LMW) DOC. DOC level in the concentrated water did not change substantially, but the LMW fraction of the hydrophilic DOC increased. In the cation-exchange membrane, a material composed of calcium sulfate accumulated in the bottom layer, and hydroxides of divalent and trivalent ions accumulated on top of it. In contrast, the anion-exchange membrane was fouled by humic substances. In terms of fouling control, physical and acid cleaning of IEMs was more effective than the reversal operation.

Abstract
Here, a Cu2+-doped lignin-based adsorbent (Cu-AL) was fabricated via the amination and Cu2+-doping of industrial alkali lignin for massive and selective adsorption of cationic dyes azure B (AB) and saffron T (ST). The Cu-N coordination structures endowed Cu-AL with stronger electronegativity and higher dispersity. Through the electrostatic attraction, π-π interaction, H-bonding, and Cu2+ coordination, the adsorption capacities of AB and ST reached up to 1168 and 1420 mg g-1, respectively. The pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm model were more relevant to the AB and ST adsorption on Cu-AL. Based on the thermodynamic study, the adsorption progresses were endothermic, spontaneous, and feasible. The Cu-AL maintained high removal efficiency to dyes after 4 reuses (>80%). Importantly, the Cu-AL could efficiently remove and separate AB and ST from dye mixtures even in real time. All the above characteristics demonstrated that Cu-AL was an excellent adsorbent for fast wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The development of efficient and stable photocatalysts for degradation of refractory pollutants using minimal amounts of metal remains a major challenge. Herein, we synthesize a novel catalyst by fabrication of manganese (III) acetylacetonate complex [Mn (acac)3] over graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) denoted as 2-Mn/GCN by facile ultra-sonication method. The fabrication of the metal complex enables the migration of electrons from the conduction band of graphitic carbon nitride to Mn (acac)3, and migration of holes from valence band of Mn (acac)3 to GCN upon irradiation. Exploiting the improved surface properties, light absorption, and charge separation ensure generation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals resulting in the rapid degradation of a variety of pollutants. The designed 2-Mn/GCN catalyst realized 99.59% rhodamine b (RhB) degradation in 55 min and 97.6% metronidazole (MTZ) degradation in 40 min with 0.7% Mn content. The influence of catalyst amount, different pH and presence of anions on the degradation kinetics was also explored to offer insights into photoactive material design.

Abstract
Highly efficient and cheap magnetic materials have application prospects in wastewater treatment. Herein, Fe3O4-loaded hydrochar (HC-Fe3O4) was obtained from hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of bamboo with FeCl3 and then added with FeCl3 to form a magnetic sorbent via simple precipitation. The HC-Fe3O4 was characterized with various instruments. The characterizations show FeCl3 plays at least two roles as a catalyst and an oxidant in HTC. The specific surface area of hydrochar enlarged from 39.9731 to 60.9887 m2·g-1 after the addition of FeCl3 during HTC, which showed FeCl3 acted as a catalyst in HTC. XRD indicated Fe3O4 was formed by the structure of HC-Fe3O4, which indicated Fe(III) was reduced to Fe(II) during HTC. Sorption of methylene blue (MB) onto HC-Fe3O4 was better fitted by the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. Sorption is a spontaneous thermodynamic endothermic process and HC-Fe3O4 is easily separated by an applied magnetic field and reused.

Abstract
Removal of water pollutants (methylene blue dye and heavy metals) was achieved by zinc/manganese-doped nickel ferrites (Ni1 - xMxFe2O4, where x = 0.00, 0.025, 0.10). Degradation of dye was achieved under natural solar light illumination. Degradation studies of dye were conducted under different parameters such as contact time-80 min, dye's concentration-5 mg/L, pH-7, and dosage of ferrites-15 mg. The adsorption of dye was studied using non-linear kinetics models (pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order) and isotherm models (Langmuir and Freundlich). The adsorption of dye followed pseudo-first-order kinetics (R2 = 0.99377) than second-order kinetics (R2 = 0.98063) and Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.96095) than Freundlich model (R2 = 0.95962) with maximum adsorption efficiency of 29.62 mg/g. Doping of nickel ferrites caused an increase in the removal percentage of methylene blue dye (80 to 90%) and inorganic effluents (75 to 95% for lead and 47 to 82% for cadmium). In addition to this, band gap energy (2.43 to 3.26 eV) (UV-Vis spectroscopy), pore radius (65.2 to 74.8 A°), and specific surface area (16.45 to 27.95 m2/g) (BET analysis) were also increased. Generally, the results of the study revealed that synthesized nanoparticles can act as potential candidate for the removal of effluents from wastewater under optimum parameters along with recyclability, reusability, and separation under the influence of a magnetic field.

Abstract
Wastewater treatment is becoming increasingly important due to the potential shortage of pure drinking water in many parts of the world. Adsorption offers a potential technique for the uptake of contaminants and wastewater purification. In the last two decades, several efforts have been made to remove fast green (FG) dye from wastewater via different adsorbent materials. However, adsorption capacity shown by these adsorbents is low and time-consuming. Herein, we have synthesized for the first time a new powdered adsorbent ZnOS+C, modified zinc peroxide with sulfur and activated carbon to effectively remove FG dye from wastewater. Results of batch adsorption experiments have suggested that ZnOS+C has the maximum adsorption potential of 238.28 mg/g for FG dye within 120 min of adsorption equilibrium for a wide range of pH ranging from 2 to 10 pH. The adsorption process conforms to the Freundlich isotherm model, suggesting a multilayered adsorption process on the outer surface of ZnOS+C. The adsorption kinetics study indicates that the kinetics of the reaction are the intraparticle diffusion model. Briefly, this study shows proof of the application of ZnOS+C powder as a new eco-friendly adsorbent with extremely high efficiency and high surface area for removing FG dye.

Abstract
In this study, anionic dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) and cationic dialdehyde cellulose (c-DAC) nanofibrous adsorbents were prepared via a two-step reaction from bamboo pulp, using sodium periodate and Girard's reagent T as oxidizing and cationizing agents, respectively. The performance of DAC and c-DAC for selective dye adsorption and separation was evaluated by six different organic dyes (with varying charge properties) and certain binary mixtures. Both adsorbents could remove the dyes but with different capability, where DAC exhibited high adsorption efficiency against cationic dyes (e.g., the maximum adsorption capacity for Bismarck brown Y was 552.1 mg/g) and c-DAC exhibited high adsorption efficiency against anionic dyes (e.g., the maximum adsorption capacity for Congo red was 540.3 mg/g). To investigate the adsorption mechanism for these adsorbents, effects of contact time, initial pH value, initial dye concentration, and ionic strength on the adsorption activity against Congo red were investigated. The adsorption equilibrium data of DAC were found to fit best with the Langmuir isotherm model, whereas that of c-DAC were found to fit best with the Freundlich model. Both DAC and c-DAC adsorption kinetic data could be described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and these adsorbents possessed stable adsorption efficiency in the pH range of 4-10. Furthermore, their dye adsorption capabilities were found to increase with increasing ionic strength (salt concentration). The distinctive complementary features of DAC and c-DAC will allow them to remove a wide range of organic dyes from industrial wastewater.

[PMID: 36534248 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-24501-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 11/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Textile effluent is one of the most hazardous industrial pollutant sources. It is generated in huge volumes and contains a wide array of toxicants. Reactive azo dyes, which are xenobiotic compounds, are predominantly utilized by textile industries for dyeing cotton, viscose, wool, and silk. The conventional physicochemical treatments used by industrial effluent treatment plants are ineffective in dye degradation. The present study thus attempted to find a potential treatment for reactive azo dyes. A novel bacterial consortium VITPBC6 was constructed with the most potent and compatible reactive orange 16 (RO-16) decolorizing isolates of tannery and textile effluents, and the isolates were identified as Bacillus flexus VITSP6, Bacillus paraflexus VITSPB7, Bacillus megaterium VITSPB9, Bacillus firmus VITEPB1, B. flexus VITEPB2, and Bacillus aryabhattai VITEPB3. The physicochemical factors of RO-16 decolorization were optimized by response surface methodology. Consortium VITPBC6 was able to tolerate a high concentration of RO-16 up to 800 mg L-1. A cocktail of enzymes including azoreductase, tyrosinase, laccase, lignin peroxidase, and manganese peroxidase was involved in RO-16 degradation by VITPBC6. Consortium VITPBC6 degraded RO-16 following zero-order reaction. The enzymes of consortium VITPBC6 had a Vmax of 352 mg L-1 day-1 for RO-16 degradation; however, the Km value was high. VITPBC6 biodegraded RO-16 resulting in the formation of small aromatic compounds. Lastly, different toxicity assays conducted with untreated RO-16 and its corresponding biodegraded metabolite revealed that the toxicity of biodegraded metabolites was significantly lower than the untreated dye.

Abstract
Since the discovery of ion-exchange resins, they have been used in many fields, including pharmacy. Ion-exchange resin-mediated preparations can realize a series of functions, such as taste masking and regulating release. However, it is very difficult to extract the drug completely from the drug-resin complex because of the specific combination of the drug and resin. In this study, methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release chewable tablets compounded by methylphenidate hydrochloride and ion-exchange resin were selected for a drug extraction study. The efficiency of drug extraction by dissociating with the addition of counterions was found to be higher than other physical extraction methods. Then, the factors affecting the dissociation process were studied to completely extract the drug from the methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release chewable tablets. Furthermore, the thermodynamic and kinetic study of the dissociation process showed that the dissociation process obeys the second-order kinetic process, and it is nonspontaneous, entropy-decreasing, and endothermic. Meanwhile, the reaction rate was confirmed by the Boyd model, and the film diffusion and matrix diffusion were both shown to be rate-limiting steps. In conclusion, this study aims to provide technological and theoretical support for establishing a quality assessment and control system of ion-exchange resin-mediated preparations, promoting the applications of ion-exchange resins in the field of drug preparation.

Adsorptive Features of Magnetic Activated Carbons Prepared by a One-Step Process towards Brilliant Blue Dye. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28041821. [PMID: 36838808 PMCID: PMC9965938 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28041821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Water pollution by dyes has been a major environmental problem to be tackled, and magnetic adsorbents appear as promising alternatives to solve it. Herein, magnetic activated carbons were prepared by the single-step method from Sapelli wood sawdust, properly characterized, and applied as adsorbents for brilliant blue dye removal. In particular, two magnetic activated carbons, MAC1105 and MAC111, were prepared using the proportion of biomass KOH of 1:1 and varying the proportion of NiCl2 of 0.5 and 1. The characterization results demonstrated that the different proportions of NiCl2 mainly influenced the textural characteristics of the adsorbents. An increase in the surface area from 260.0 to 331.5 m2 g-1 and in the total pore volume from 0.075 to 0.095 cm3 g-1 was observed with the weight ratio of NiCl2. Both adsorbents exhibit ferromagnetic properties and the presence of nanostructured Ni particles. The different properties of the materials influenced the adsorption kinetics and equilibrium of brilliant blue dye. MAC111 showed faster kinetics, reaching the equilibrium in around 10 min, while for MAC1105, it took 60 min for the equilibrium to be reached. In addition, based on the Sips isotherm, the maximum adsorption capacity was 98.12 mg g-1 for MAC111, while for MAC1105, it was 60.73 mg g-1. Furthermore, MAC111 presented the potential to be reused in more adsorption cycles than MAC1105, and the use of the adsorbents in the treatment of a simulated effluent exhibited high effectiveness, with removal efficiencies of up to 90%.

Cation-Exchange Resin Applied to Paralytic Shellfish Toxins Depuration from Bivalves Exposed to Gymnodinium catenatum. Foods 2023; 12:foods12040768.

Abstract
The accumulation of marine biotoxins in shellfish and their consumption causes serious food safety problems, threatening human health and compromising the availability of protein-based food. It is thus urgent to develop methodologies for the detoxification of live bivalves, avoiding their economic and nutritional devaluation. In this context, we tested an adsorption mechanism of paralytic shellfish toxins (PST) based on a cation-exchange resin. The first studies using cultures of Gymnodinium catenatum (natural producers of PST) showed a decrease of about 80% in overall toxicity after 48 h. Interestingly, we found that the toxins are adsorbed differently, with toxins' structural features playing a part in the adsorption capacity via steric hindrance, electronic effects, or the extent of positive charge density (e.g., dcSTX). The positive effect of the resin in accelerating PST clearance from live mussels (Mytilus edulis) is not evident when compared to resin-free clearance; nevertheless, relevant information could be gathered that will facilitate further in vivo studies. Several factors appear to be at play, namely the competition of natural substances (e.g., salts, organic matter) for the same binding sites, the blocking of pores due to interactions between molecules, and/or difficulties in resin absorption by mussels. Additionally, the present work revealed the ability of mussels to neutralize pH and proposes bioconversion reactions among the PST molecules.

Abstract
Organic dyes can produce harmful effects on the water environment, such as affecting the growth of aquatic organisms, reducing the transparency of water bodies, and causing eutrophication of water bodies, so it is necessary to mitigate the hazards of organic dyes. In this study, a metal-organic framework [NH2-MIL-101(Fe)] was synthesized by the solvothermal method as a carrier for the in situ uniform deposition of AgCl nanoparticles on its surface, which was successfully used for both adsorption and degradation of Congo red. Adsorption results showed that the adsorption kinetics conformed to the proposed secondary adsorption kinetics equation with a maximum adsorption capacity of 248.4 mg·g-1. Furthermore, the degradation results indicated that with the aid of sodium borohydride as a reducing agent, the degradation of Congo red followed pseudo-first-order kinetics with a degradation rate of 0.077 min-1, and the complete degradation of Congo red was finished within 18 min. Therefore, AgCl/NH2-MIL-101(Fe) may find a potential application in the removal of dyes from wastewater.

Abstract
The aim of this research was the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (SPA- and SPR-AgNPs) using the aqueous extracts of the aerial (SPA) and the root (SPR) parts of the plant Salvia pratensis L., their characterization, reaction condition optimization, and evaluation of their biological and catalytic activity. UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), scanning electron microscopy with EDS analysis (SEM/EDS), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis were utilized to characterize the nanoparticles, while Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to detect some functional groups of compounds present in the plant extracts and nanoparticles. The phenolic and flavonoid contents, as well as the antioxidant activity of the extracts, were determined spectrophotometrically. The synthesized nanoparticles showed twice-higher activity in neutralizing 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS+) compared with the respective extracts. SPR-AgNPs exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against almost all of the tested bacteria (<0.0039 mg/mL) and fungal strains, especially against the genus Penicillium (<0.0391 mg/mL). Moreover, they were fully biocompatible on all the tested eukaryotic cells, while the hemolysis of erythrocytes was not observed at the highest tested concentration of 150 µg/mL. The catalytic activity of nanoparticles toward Congo Red and 4-nitrophenol was also demonstrated. The obtained results confirm the possibility of the safe application of the synthesized nanoparticles in medicine and as a catalyst in various processes.

Abstract
Biochar (BC) is a carbonaceous material produced by pyrolysis of biomass, applied in various areas such as water purification, fuel production, soil amendment, etc. Many types of BC are characterized by insufficient textural parameters or poor surface chemistry, and hence by low adsorption capacity. This makes innovative chemical methods increasing BC ability to remove xenobiotics from aquatic environments highly needed. Many of them have already been described in the literature. This review presents them in detail and evaluates their effectiveness in improving textural parameters, surface chemistry, and adsorption capacity of BC.

Abstract
Owing to the toxicity and difficulty in degradation, how to the effective separation for the residual dyes in the aqueous solution is still an issue with great challenge in the area of environmental protection. Now, to high-efficiency removal of organic dyes from the aqueous solution, we design a unique AlOOH/CoFe2O4 adsorbent with porous CoFe2O4 nanoparticles embedded on the AlOOH fibers using a simple hydrothermal technique and calcination process. The structural properties and surface characteristics of the AlOOH/CoFe2O4 composites are detailedly analyzed by XRD, FTIR, XPS, TEM and SEM. Here, the high SBET and specific porous structure are beneficial to improve the adsorption performance of AlOOH/CoFe2O4 adsorbents. Especially, when the molar ratio of AlOOH to CoFe2O4 in the AlOOH/CoFe2O4 fibers is 1:1, an optimal performance on adsorbing anionic Congo red (CR) and cationic methyl green (MG) dyes can be obtained at pH = 6.29, where the corresponding maximum adsorption capacities reach up to 565.0 and 423.7 mg g-1, respectively. Factors leading to the change in the ability of adsorbing CR and MG dyes are systematically discussed, including contact time, temperature, initial concentrations, and pH values of the solutions. Meanwhile, the uptake of CR and MG dyes can best conform to Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics. The thermodynamic analysis verifies that the dye adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic. Moreover, from the point view of practical application, the good reusability further makes the as-synthesized magnetic AlOOH/CoFe2O4 composite be a perfect adsorbent with efficiently removing both anionic and cationic dyes from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Since contamination of xenobiotics in water bodies has become a global issue, their removal is gaining ample attention lately. In the present study, nZVI was synthesized using chitosan for removal of two such xenobitic dyes, Bromocresol green and (BCG) and Brilliant blue (BB), which have high prevalence in freshwater and wastewater matrices. nZVI functionalization prevents nanoparticle aggregation and oxidation, enhancing the removal of BCG and BB with an efficiency of 84.96% and 86.21%, respectively. XRD, FESEM, EDS, and FTIR have been employed to investigate the morphology, elemental composition, and functional groups of chitosan-modified nanoscale-zerovalent iron (CS@nZVI). RSM-CCD model was utilized to assess the combined effect of five independent variables and determine the best condition for maximum dye removal. The interactions between adsorbent dose (2-4 mg), pH (4-8), time (20-40 min), temperature (35-65 0C), and initial dye concentration (40-60 mg/L) was modeled to study the response, i.e., dye removal percentage. The reaction fitted well with Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-first-order kinetics, with a maximum qe value of 426.97 and 452.4 mg/g for BCG and BB, respectively. Thermodynamic analysis revealed the adsorption was spontaneous, and endothermic in nature. Moreover, CS@nZVI could be used up to five cycles of dye removal with remarkable potential for real water samples.

Abstract
In the present time of speedy developments and industrialization, heavy metals are being uncovered in aquatic environment and soil via refining, electroplating, processing, mining, metallurgical activities, dyeing and other several metallic and metal based industrial and synthetic activities. Heavy metals like lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), Zinc (Zn), Cobalt (Co), Iron (Fe), and many other are considered as seriously noxious and toxic for the aquatic environment, human, and other aquatic lives and have damaging influences. Such heavy metals, which are very tough to be degraded, can be managed by reducing their potential through various processes like removal, precipitation, oxidation-reduction, bio-sorption, recovery, bioaccumulation, bio-mineralization etc. Microbes are known as talented bio-agents for the heavy metals detoxification process and fungi are one of the cherished bio-sources that show noteworthy aptitude of heavy metal sorption and metal tolerance. Thus, the main objective of the authors was to come with a comprehensive review having methodological insights on the novel and recent results in the field of mycoremediation of heavy metals. This review significantly assesses the potential talent of fungi in heavy metal detoxification and thus, in environmental restoration. Many reported works, methodologies and mechanistic sights have been evaluated to explore the fungal-assisted heavy metal remediation. Herein, a compact and effectual discussion on the recent mycoremediation studies of organic pollutants like dyes, petroleum, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, and pharmaceutical wastes have also been presented.

Abstract
Kamala fruit (Mallotus philippensis), hereinafter MP, has been simultaneously exercised for the extraction of a natural dye, C.I. orange and its peels were converted into an efficient adsorbent for the rapid removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions. The material has been characterized by Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR),Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy- Electron dispersive spectroscopy (FESEM-EDS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, and pHZPC. FTIR suggests the presence of polyphenolic moieties responsible for adsorption, whereas FESEM confirms the porous texture. Optimization of process variables such as contact time, pH, adsorbent dose, and temperature of operation indicates that the adsorption gets modulated by the pH, with a best at 11. The Freundlich model (R2 = 0.994), and pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2 = 0.999) best describe the adsorption pathway. Dilute hydrochloric acid is sufficient to induce >66% regeneration, which ensures reusability. With the maximal uptake for MB is 30.2 mg/g at ambient conditions, the superiority over the existing materials has been confirmed. Treatment of dye containing industrial effluent suggests about a 50% reduction in one cycle. It can be concluded that both-way benefits, namely natural dye extraction and preparation of a peel-based adsorbent for methylene blue removal from aqueous solution, can be achieved using the kamala fruit peels.

Developing new polymer membranes with excellent thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability has shown great potential for various environmental remediation applications such as wastewater treatment and air filtration. Polymer membranes have been widely investigated over the past years and utilized to overcome severe ecological issues. Membrane-based technologies play a critical role in water purification and air filtration with the ability to act efficiently and sustainably. Electrospun nanofiber membranes have displayed excellent performance in removing various contaminants from water, such as bacteria, dyes, heavy metals, and oil. These nanofibrous membranes have shown good potential to filter the air from tiny particles, volatile organic compounds, and toxic gases. The performance of polymer membranes can be enhanced by fine-tuning polymer structure, varying surface properties, and strengthening overall membrane porosity. In this review, we discuss the involvement of electrospun nanofibrous membranes in different environmental remediation applications. It further reviews the recent progress of polymer membrane development by utilizing nanoparticles and naturally occurring polymers.

Abstract
A novel adsorbent of carbon@chitosan@montmorillonite nanosheet (C@CS@ MTN) was successfully fabricated layer-by-layer assembly method to deal with cationic dye wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments showed that the adsorption capacities of MB and RhB were higher than 325 mg·g-1 and 236 mg·g-1, respectively, indicating that C@CS@MTN exhibited an excellent adsorption performance. Through quantum chemistry simulations, the molecular electrostatic potential, electron density, differential charge density, molecular orbital distribution and adsorption binding energy were analyzed to reveal the adsorption reaction mechanism between C@CS@MTN and cationic dyes. The results indicated that SiO tetrahedron ring and AlO octahedron ring released from montmorillonite with inherent periodic structure was beneficial to electrostatic attraction, while cation-π interaction benefitted from the interaction between Al atoms of AlO octahedron ring and benzene ring. It was noteworthy that the electron transfer direction of electrostatic attraction was from O atoms of SiO tetrahedron ring to the benzene ring of dye molecules, but the electron transfer direction of cation-π interaction was from benzene ring of dye molecules to Al atoms of AlO octahedron ring. These results provide fundamental theoretical support for the functional design of mineral-based adsorbents and the efficient removal of cationic dyes.
