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.

Shrestha D. Applications of functionalized porous carbon from bio-waste of Alnus nepalensis in energy storage devices and industrial wastewater treatment. Heliyon 2023; 9:e21804. [PMID: 38027968 PMCID: PMC10651512 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e21804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
This research investigates the utility of functionalized porous carbon (FPC), derived from the waste wood of Alnus nepalensis. It demonstrates FPC's dual suitability as a versatile component for energy storage systems, specifically supercapacitors, and its impressive capacity to adsorb malachite green (MG) dye from industrial wastewater. The synthesis of FPC occurred through a controlled two-step process: initial activation of wood powder with H3PO4, followed by carbonization at 400 °C for 3 h in a tube furnace. To comprehensively evaluate the material's attributes, multiple analytical methods were employed: Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) analysis, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) imaging, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy. The prepared FPC exhibited desirable characteristics essential for achieving electrochemical performances and adsorption of dyes as well. TEM revealed voids within the material's structure, while BET confirmed high porosity with an active surface area of 1498 m2/g, a pore volume of 1.2 cm³/g, and a pore size of 4.6 nm featuring a harmonious presence of both micropores and mesopores. XRD and Raman spectroscopy confirmed FPC's amorphous state, and FTIR indicated oxygenated functional groups. As a supercapacitor electrode material, FPC demonstrated a specific capacitance of 156.3 F/g at 1A/g current density, an energy density of 5.1 Wh/Kg, a power density of 183.6 W/kg, and enduring cycling stability, retaining 98.4 % performance after 1000 charge-discharge cycles at 3A/g current density. In terms of dye adsorption, FPC exhibited remarkable efficiency. At a pH of 10.5 for MG dye, 0.030g of FPC displayed peak adsorption capacity, removing 95.6 % of 20 ppm MG within 2 min and an even more impressive 99.6 % within 6 min. These findings confirm FPC's potential from Alnus nepalensis as an outstanding supercapacitor electrode material and a rapid, efficient adsorbent for MG removal from industrial wastewater. This research suggests promising applications in energy storage and environmental remediation.

Abstract
In this research, a new porous organic polymer based on triazine and cyclohexanone rings was synthesized via Schiff base condensation, and its performance as an adsorbent for the removal of Methyl Red dye from aqueous solution was investigated. The synthesized polymer was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDS, TEM, TGA, and BET analyses. Five important parameters of pH (4-10), contact time (10-120 min), adsorbent dose (5-10 mg), initial dye concentration (10-70 mg/L), and temperature (25-45 °C) were investigated to optimize the adsorption conditions. Solution pH of 4, contact time of 80 min, adsorbent dose of 8 mg, initial dye concentration of 50 mg/L, and temperature of 45 °C were obtained as the best conditions for the adsorption of methyl red dye. Two widely used Langmuir and Freundlich models were employed to investigate the adsorption isotherm, and the obtained data showed that the adsorption process follows the Langmuir isotherm with a correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.9784) which indicates monolayer adsorption. The achieved maximum adsorption capacity was 178.57 mg/g. Also, the results of kinetic studies indicate that the adsorption process follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic, which suggests that chemical interactions play an important role in dye removal. Furthermore, the results showed that the adsorption process of methyl red dye by polymer is endothermic.

Abstract
YMnO3 is a P-type semiconductor with a perovskite-type structure (ABO3). It presents two crystalline systems: rhombohedral and hexagonal, the latter being the most stable and studied. In the hexagonal system, Mn3+ ions are coordinated by five oxygen ions forming a trigonal bipyramid, and the Y3+ ions are coordinated by five oxygen ions. This arrangement favors its ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties, which have been widely studied since 1963. However, applications based on their optical properties have yet to be explored. This work evaluates the photoelectric response and the photocatalytic activity of yttrium manganite in visible spectrum wavelengths. To conduct this, a rod-obelisk-shaped yttrium manganite with a reduced indirect bandgap value of 1.43 eV in its hexagonal phase was synthesized through the precipitation method. The synthesized yttrium manganite was elucidated by solid-state techniques, such as DRX, XPS, and UV-vis. It was non-toxic as shown by the 100% leukocyte viability of mice BALB/c.

Abstract
The conversion of worthless municipal solid wastes to valuables is a major step towards environmental conservation and sustainability. This work successfully proposed a technique to utilize the two most commonly available municipal solid wastes viz polythene (PE) and sugarcane bagasse (SB) for water decolorization application. An SBPE composite material was developed and co-pyrolyzed under an inert atmosphere to develop the activated SBPEAC composite. Both SBPE and SBPEAC composites were characterized to analyze their morphological characteristics, specific surface area, chemical functional groups, and elemental composition. The adsorption efficacies of the composites were comparatively tested in the removal of malachite green (MG) from water. The SBPEAC composite had a specific surface area of 284.5 m2/g and a pore size of ~1.33 nm. Batch-scale experiments revealed that the SBPEAC composite performed better toward MG adsorption compared to the SBPE composite. The maximum MG uptakes at 318 K on SBPEAC and SBPE were 926.6 and 375.6 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption of MG on both composites was endothermic. The isotherm and kinetic modeling data for MG adsorption on SBPEAC was fitted to pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models, while Elovich kinetic and D-R isotherm models were better fitted for MG adsorption on SBPE. Mechanistically, the MG adsorption on both SBPE and SBPEAC composites involved electrostatic interaction, H-bonding, and π-π/n-π interactions.

Abstract
Malachite green (C52H54N4O12) is a synthetic dye that is used in textile industries as a colorant and in aquaculture sectors to contain microbial damage. Aquatic contamination of malachite green (MG) has been reported globally. Fish is the highest trophic organism among aquatic inhabitants, highly sensitive to waterborne contaminants (metals, coloring agents, etc.). Toxicity of waterborne chemicals on nontarget organisms can be determined by assessing biomarkers. Assessing blood parameters and tissue antioxidants (enzymatic and nonenzymatic) is useful to evaluate MG toxicity. To initiate the MG toxicity data for freshwater fish (Cyprinus carpio), the median lethal toxicity was primarily evaluated. Then, hematological, blood biochemical (glucose, protein, and cholesterol) and tissue biochemical (amino acids, lipids), and vital tissue (gills, liver, and kidney) antioxidant capacity (CAT, LPO, GST, GR, POxy, vitamin C, and GSH) of C. carpio were analyzed under acute (LC50-96 h) and sublethal (Treatment I-1/10th and Treatment II-1/5th LC50-96 h) exposure periods (28 days). Molecular docking for MG with hemoglobin was also obtained. Biomarkers examined were affected in the MG-treated groups with respect to the control group. Significant changes (p < 0.05) were observed in hematology (Hb, RBCs, and WBCs), glucose, proteins, lipids and tissue CAT, LPO, and GST activities under acute MG exposure. In sublethal treatment groups, biomarkers studied were significant (p < 0.05) throughout the study period. The potential for MG binding to hemoglobin was tested in this study. MG is potentially a multiorgan toxicant. Literally a chemical that is harmful to the aquatic environment if safety is concerned.

Abstract
Pesticide has revolutionised the agricultural industry by reducing yield losses and by enhancing productivity. But indiscriminate usage of such chemicals can negatively impact human health and ecosystem balance as certain pesticides can be recalcitrant in nature. Out of some of the suggested sustainable techniques to remove the pesticide load from the environment, adsorption is found to be highly efficient and can also be implemented on a large scale. It has been observed that natural adsorption that takes place after the application of the pesticide is not enough to reduce the pesticide load, hence, adsorbents like activated carbon, plant-based adsorbents, agricultural by-products, silica materials, polymeric adsorbents, metal organic framework etc are being experimented upon. It is becoming increasingly important to choose adsorbents which will not leave any secondary pollutant after treatment and the cost of production of such adsorbent should be feasible. In this review paper, it has been established that certain adsorbent like biochar, hydrochar, resin, metal organic framework etc can efficiently remove pesticides namely chlorpyrifos, diazinon, 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid, atrazine, fipronil, imidacloprid etc. The mechanism of adsorption, thermodynamics and kinetic part have been discussed in detail with respect to the pesticide and adsorbent under discussion. The reason behind choosing an adsorbent for the removal of a particular pesticide have also been explained. It is further highly recommended to carry out a cost analysis before implementing an absorbent because inspite of its efficacy, it might not be cost effective to use it for a particular type of pesticide or contaminant.

Abstract
The presence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the aquatic environment is causing widespread concern due to their bioaccumulation, toxicity, and possible environmental risk. These contaminants are produced daily in large quantities and released into water bodies. Traditional wastewater treatment plants are ineffective at degrading these pollutants. As a result, the development of long-term and effective POP removal techniques is critical. In water, adsorption removal and photocatalytic degradation of POPs have been identified as energy and cost-efficient solutions. Both technologies have received a lot of attention for their efforts to treat the world's wastewater. Photocatalytic removal of POPs is a promising, effective, and long-lasting method, while adsorption removal of persistent POPs represents a simple, practical method, particularly in decentralized systems and isolated areas. It is critical to develop new adsorbents/photocatalysts with the desired structure, tunable chemistry, and maximum adsorption sites for highly efficient removal of POPs. As a class of recently created multifunctional porous materials, Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer tremendous prospects in adsorptive removal and photocatalytic degradation of POPs for water remediation. This review defines POPs and discusses current research on adsorptive and photocatalytic POP removal using emerging MOFs for each type of POPs.

Abstract
The rise in pharmaceutical pollutants due to their unregulated discharge in pharmaceutical wastewater has landed them as emerging contaminants that would gradually affect the aquatic ecosystem and human life. The current study emphasizes the adsorptive elimination of one such emerging pharmaceutical pollutant, i.e., Diclofenac (DIF), using a synthesized adsorbent vis. Activated carbon-chitosan beads (ACCB). The morphological and physicochemical properties of the prepared adsorbent, ACCB and its interaction with the DIF species were investigated. Process parameters influencing the adsorptive interactions between ACCB and DIF were optimised. DIF was efficiently adsorbed at optimised initial DIF pH of 6.0 and ACCB dosage of 1.5 mg/mL at an incubation temperature of 40 °C. Freundlich isotherm model showed the best fit (R2 = 0.98) with the experimental data to conclude that the adsorbent surface is heterogenous, promoting multilayer adsorption. As depicted from the Langmuir isotherm model, the maximum theoretical adsorption capacity was 99.29 mg/g. The seed toxicity assay confirmed the efficacy of ACCB in the adsorptive removal of DIF species from aqueous setups, making the post-treated solution fit enough for seed germination.

Abstract
Factors affecting the degradation of Acid Orange 7 (AO7) were evaluated and optimized when ferrous was used to catalyze percarbonate in the present study. The optimized conditions included the initial pH values ranging from 3 to 11 for AO7 solution, the initial level of AO7, sodium percarbonate (SPC), and Fe2+ . Some ions and natural organic materials, which commonly exist in natural water, were also tested to evaluate their potential impacts on the degradation of AO7. The degradation efficiency of AO7 was up to 95% under the optimized test conditions, where the ferrous/percarbonate/AO7 molar ratio was 15/10/1 in the 0.285 mmol/l AO7 aqueous solution. The presence of Cl- , SO4 2- , NO3 - , Na+ , and Mg2+ did not affect the removal of AO7. The addition of HCO3 - significantly inhibited its removal, even when the concentration of HCO3 - was low to 0.6 mmol/l. A slight inhibition effect was observed when the added concentration of humic acid ranged from 0.5 to 5 mg/l, whereas the residue of AO7 was significantly enhanced when the level of humic acid was continually increased from 50 to 100 mg/l. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) were the main reactive intermediates controlling the oxidation of AO7 in the present Fe2+ /SPC system. The produced intermediates through the degradation of AO7 were identified to include 2-coumaranone, 2-naphthol, phthalic acid, phthalimide, N-methylnaphthylamine, and 2-methylphenol. The proposed degradation pathways are consistent with the radical formation and the identified intermediates. PRACTITIONER POINTS: The ferrous/percarbonate system can remove 95% of AO7 under the optimized conditions. AO7 removal was inhibited by adding HCO3 - and humic acid, but not affected by Cl- , SO4 2- , NO3 - , Na+ , and Mg2+ . Hydroxylation, ring opening, and mineralization driven by the generated hydroxyl radicals were derived as the major processes for degrading AO7.

Adsorption of Methyl Orange on a Novel Palygorskite/UiO-66 Nanocomposite. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/app12157468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Herein, a novel composite material containing UiO-66 and palygorskite (Pal) clay mineral was prepared using a facile one-pot synthesis process. The material was studied using a variety of techniques and applied as did not affect the structure of the metal-organic framework (MOF) part, but induced a small increase in specific surface area. The developed Pal/UiO-66 composite presented excellent adsorption efficiency against MO removal, as evidenced by detailed kinetic and isotherm experiments. An impressive maximum adsorption capacity at equilibrium was evidenced; 340 mg g−1 at pH = 5 and T = 25 °C. This corresponds to a 34.5 % increase compared with pure UiO-66, considering only the MOF content. Furthermore, the Pal/UiO-66 composite was proven stable and highly recyclable, losing less than 9% of the removal capacity after five consecutive cycles. The study highlights the synergistic effect of the coupling of MOF structures with low-cost and abundant clay minerals for the development of advanced absorbents.

Abstract
Aurivillius oxides ferroelectric layered materials are formed by bismuth oxide and pseu-do-perovskite layers. They have a good ionic conductivity, which is beneficial for various photo-catalyzed reactions. Here, we synthesized ultra-thin nanosheets of two different Aurivillius oxides, Bi2WO6 (BWO) and Bi2MoO6 (BMO), by using a hard-template process. All materials were characterized through XRD, TEM, FTIR, TGA/DSC, DLS/ELS, DRS, UV-Vis. Band gap material (Eg) and potential of the valence band (EVB) were calculated for BWO and BMO. In contrast to previous reports on the use of multi composite materials, a new procedure for photocatalytic efficient BMO nanosheets was developed. The procedure, with an additional step only, avoids the use of composite materials, improves crystal structure, and strongly reduces impurities. BWO and BMO were used as photocatalysts for the degradation of the water pollutant dye malachite green (MG). MG removal kinetics was fitted with Langmuir—Hinshelwood model obtaining a kinetic constant k = 7.81 × 10−2 min−1 for BWO and k = 9.27 × 10−2 min−1 for BMO. Photocatalytic dye degradation was highly effective, reaching 89% and 91% MG removal for BWO and BMO, respectively. A control experiment, carried out in the absence of light, allowed to quantify the contribution of adsorption to MG removal process. Adsorption contributed to MG removal by a 51% for BWO and only by a 19% for BMO, suggesting a different degradation mechanism for the two photocatalysts. The advanced MG degradation process due to BMO is likely caused by the high crystallinity of the material synthetized with the new procedure. Reuse tests demonstrated that both photocatalysts are highly active and stable reaching a MG removal up to 95% at the 10th reaction cycle. These results demonstrate that BMO nanosheets, synthesized with an easy additional step, achieved the best degradation performance, and can be successfully used for environmental remediation applications.

Enhanced Removal of Malachite Green Using Calcium-Functionalized Magnetic Biochar. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19063247. [PMID: 35328937 PMCID: PMC8954663 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19063247] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Revised: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
To efficiently remove malachite green (MG), a novel calcium-functionalized magnetic biochar (Ca/MBC) was fabricated via a two-step pyrolysis method. Iron-containing oxides endowed the target complexes with magnetic properties, especially the chemotactic binding ability with MG, and the addition of calcium significantly changed the morphology of the material and improved its adsorption performance, especially the chemotactic binding ability with MG, which could be confirmed through FTIR, XPS, and adsorption experiments. Electrostatic adsorption, ligand exchange, and hydrogen bonding acted as essential drivers for an enhanced adsorption process, and the maximum theoretical adsorption capacity was up to 12,187.57 mg/g. Ca/MBC maintained a higher adsorption capacity at pH = 4–12, and after five adsorption–desorption cycles, the adsorption capacity and adsorption rate of MG remained at 1424.2 mg/g and 71.21%, highlighting the advantages of Ca/MBC on adsorbing MG. This study suggests that biochar can be modified by a green synthesis approach to produce calcium-functionalized magnetic biochar with excellent MG removal capacity. The synthetic material can not only remove pollutants from water but also provide an efficient way for soil remediation.

Abstract
One of the modern challenges is to provide clean and affordable drinking water. Water scarcity is caused by the growing population in the world and pollutants contaminate all remaining water sources. Innovative water treatment solutions have been provided by nanotechnology. Microorganisms, organic suspensions, and inorganic heavy metal ions, among other things, are common water contaminants. Since antiquity, a wide range of water clean-up methods have been employed to address this issue. Breakthroughs in water purification procedures have occurred during the previous four decades, with the most significant one being the use of nanomaterials and nanomembranes. Nanoparticles and nanomembranes (polymeric membranes) have recently been used in engineered materials (TiO2, ZnO, CuO, Ag, CNT's and mixed oxide nanoparticles, for example). Engineered nanomembranes, nanocomposites and nanoparticles have been used in this review article's discussion of water purification technologies. The review also discusses the risk and solutions of using nanoparticles and nanocomposites in the future.

Abstract
In this paper, the use of hemp fibers modified with graphite oxide for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions was investigated. Parameters such as contact time, pH, temperature, initial concentration of dye and ionic strength were varied and their effects on the adsorption recovery were evaluated. The adsorption process attained the equilibrium within 30 min while the adsorption capacity was found to increase with increasing contact time. The experimental data were fitted through a pseudo-second order model. Maximum adsorption capacity slightly increases with temperature changing from 54 mg/g to 58 mg/g at pH = 7.5, from 37 mg/g to 45 mg/g at pH = 3 and from 44 mg/g to 49 mg/g at pH = 12, by increasing the temperature from 20 °C to 80 °C indicating that the process is slightly endothermic (ΔH = 3.43 kJ/mol). The thermodynamic parameters were even calculated demonstrating that the process is spontaneous (ΔG ≈ -4.4 J/mol K and ΔS = 3.16 J/mol K)). Finally, a mathematical algorithm was applied to forecast the response surface model. A second order model was chosen to fit the experimental data and the statistical effect of the process parameters were estimated. A numerical optimization was even performed to individuate the optimal set of process parameters (pH = 9.25, T = 53.8 °C and C0 = 13.2 mg/L) which maximizes the removal capacity. A possible adsorption mechanism was even presented. So, it was proved the efficiency of the adsorption of a novel, inexpensive and sustainable composite material obtained from agro-waste resources by performing reusability cycles.

Abstract
Green composite processing technology of wood fibers is an inevitable choice for global sustainable development. In this research, waste poplar powder with different particle sizes was used to prepare glue-free biocomposites with good mechanical and waterproof properties by hot-molding. The biocomposites made of larger size wood powder had better tensile strength (40.3 MPa) and the biocomposites made of smaller size wood powder had the greater bending strength (50.5 MPa). The thickness swelling rate of the biocomposites was only 4.26% after soaking in water for 24 h. The cross-section morphology of the biocomposites showed that the cell wall collapses enhanced the interfacial bonding. Chemical analysis showed that lignin repolymerized with cellulose and hemicellulose for the vitrification transition. In addition, the biocomposites with excellent mechanical properties had no formaldehyde release, which can replace the traditional density boards made of adhesives and applied as furniture materials and in line with the concept of cleaner production.

Abstract
Water pollution from synthetic dyes is a growing environmental concern because many dyes have carcinogenic effects on humans and aquatic life. Adsorption is a widely used technology for the separation and removal of dyes from wastewater. However, the dye removal process using conventional adsorbents is not sufficiently efficient for industrial wastewater. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) addresses these drawbacks. MOF showed excellent dye removal and degradation capacity owing to its multifunctionality, water-stability, large surface area, tunable pore size and recyclability. Magnetic MOFs retained excellent performance up to several consecutive cycles. Modified MOFs performed as Fenton-like catalysis process which generated abundant reactive radicals that degraded complex organic dyes into simple and less toxic forms which were further adsorbed onto the MOF. This review systematically compiles in-depth studies on the adsorptive removal of dyes from wastewater, MOF adsorption mechanisms, major influencing factors, to adsorption efficiency of MOFs. While all MOFs adsorb dyes through electrostatic attraction, the type of MOF, presence of functional groups, ligands, and pH significantly control the adsorption mechanism. Before developing an MOF, optimization and upgradation of factors and interaction between available adsorption site and adsorbate is needed. Finally, the prospects and new frontiers of MOFs in sustainable water treatment is discussed.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) falls under the category of organophosphorus pesticides which are in huge demand in the agricultural sector. Overuse of this pesticide has led to the degradation of the quality of terrestrial and aquatic life. The chemical is moderately persistent in the environment but its primary metabolite 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP) is comparatively highly persistent. Thus, it is important to degrade the chemical and there are many proposed techniques of degradation. Out of which bioremediation is considered to be highly cost-effective and efficient. Many previous studies have attempted to isolate appropriate microbial strains to degrade CPF which established the fact that chlorine atoms released while mineralising TCP inhibits further proliferation of microorganisms. Thus, it has been increasingly important to experiment with strains that can simultaneously degrade both CPF and TCP. In this review paper, the need for degrading CPF specifically the problems related to it has been discussed elaborately. Alongside these, the metabolism pathways undertaken by different kinds of microorganisms have been included. This paper also gives a detailed insight into the potential strains of microorganisms which has been confirmed through experiments conducted previously. It can be concluded that a wide range of microorganisms has to be studied to understand the possibility of applying bioremediation in wastewater treatment to remove pesticide residues. In addition to this, in the case of recalcitrant pesticides, options of treating it with hybrid techniques like bioremediation clubbed with photocatalytic biodegradation can be attempted.
