Abstract
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are a newly identified category of emerging global pollutants often found in aquatic systems. Efficient removal of these pollutants from the water/wastewater is currently problematic because of their low biodegradability and high hydrophilicity, as well as their distinct physicochemical features and lower concentrations. Materials of Institut Lavoisier (MIL), Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF), and University of Oslo (UiO) are highly engineered metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) composed of unique components necessary for the formation of crystals with exceptional porosity, large surface areas, large pore sizes, crystalline structures, tunable properties, excellent chemical and thermal stability for environmental remediation. This study provides detailed and combined applications of UiOs, MILs, and ZIFs as adsorbents for capturing the new class of emerging pollutants (PPCPs) from the liquid phase. MOFs as ideal candidates for PPCP decontamination were discussed, followed by the MOF porosity and factors that affect MOF stability. Various synthetic approaches for MILs, ZIFs, and UiOs were discussed, as well as their corresponding pros and cons. An in-depth performance of these three MOFs for adsorptive removal of PPCPs from the liquid phase was discussed, assessing the state-of-the-art for specific applications and the effectiveness of UiOs, MILs, and ZIFs as adsorbents for PPCP decontamination . The unique performance garnered from the study provided a way forward/potential for real-life/practical applications of these sorbents and insight into corresponding mechanisms and synergistic relationships. To foster the advancement of the field, viable shortcomings and strengths associated with these novel classes of MOFs, treatment options, and knowledge gaps to explore specific research directives for large-scale or industrial-scale applications were highlighted.

Integrating spectroscopic analysis and theoretical calculations to elucidate the adsorption efficiency and mechanisms of Cd, Pb, and Cu using novel carboxymethyl cellulose/pectin-based hydrogel beads. Int J Biol Macromol 2025; 305:141028. [PMID: 39954908 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2025.141028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2024] [Revised: 02/02/2025] [Accepted: 02/12/2025] [Indexed: 02/17/2025]
Abstract
Herein, a series of novel carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/pectin-based hydrogel beads were synthesized with chitosan as a cross-linker. The hydrogel composites were denoted as CPC-1/2/3/4/5, with varying mass ratios of CMC, pectin, and chitosan (6:0:1, 5:1:1, 4:2:1, 3:3:1, and 2:4:1). This is a pioneering study that investigates the synergistic effects of these biopolymers in a single hydrogel system for the adsorption of heavy metals, specifically Cd2+, Pb2+, and Cu2+. CPC-4 was identified as the optimal adsorbent, and its adsorption behavior, efficiency, and mechanisms were systematically explored. The adsorption kinetics of CPC-4 for Cd2+, Pb2+, and Cu2+ adhered to the pseudo-second-order model, while equilibrium adsorption isotherms were best described by the Langmuir model. Notably, CPC-4 achieved maximum adsorption capacities for Cd2+, Pb2+, and Cu2+ of 139.4, 270.3, and 143.6 mg/g, respectively. Spectroscopic analyses including FTIR and XPS revealed abundant oxygen- and nitrogen-bearing functional groups (carboxyl, hydroxyl, and amine) in CPC-4, which facilitated metal ion binding through complexation reactions. Density functional theory calculations demonstrated that the incorporation of chitosan significantly enhanced the interaction between CMC and pectin, identifying the coupled regions as the most favorable sites for metal adsorption, with adsorption energies of -4.03 eV for Cd, -4.59 eV for Pb, and -5.59 eV for Cu. The superior adsorption performance of CPC-4 is primarily attributed to complexation and hydrogen bonding at the cross-linked sites. In summary, this study highlights the potential of this biopolymer-based hydrogel composite as a promising new adsorbent for the effective management of heavy metal contamination in aquatic environments.

Novel anionic functionalized magnetic β-cyclodextrin composites with excellent adsorption capacity for moxifloxacin and wide pH adaptive adsorption capability for copper ion.

Abstract
Antibiotics and heavy metals pose severe risks to human health and ecological environment. Therefore, developing a multifunctional adsorbent to remove these contaminants from wastewater is an urgent need. Herein, novel anionic sulfonic acid groups functionalized magnetic β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) composites (FCD@AA) were synthesized by coating poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulfonic acid (AMPS)) on the surface of magnetic β-CD particles (FCD). Several characterization techniques were utilized to comprehensively analyze the surface physicochemical properties of FCD@AA. The adsorption properties of FCD@AA toward antibiotics (moxifloxacin (MOX) as model) and heavy metals (copper ion (Cu2+) as model) were systematically studied under different conditions on adsorption time, temperature, initial concentration, solution pH and coexisting ionic strength. In single systems, the adsorption isotherm data for MOX and Cu2+ were well fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich models, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacities of FCD@AA toward MOX and Cu2+ were 118.98 and 19.29 mg g-1, respectively. The pseudo-second-order model could better describe the kinetic processes. In binary systems, the presence of Cu2+ exhibited a pronounced antagonism on the adsorption of MOX. The influence of co-existing MOX on the capture of Cu2+ changed from inhibition to promotion as the initial Cu2+ concentration increased. And after five adsorption cycles, FCD@AA still had satisfactory reusability. The results indicate that FCD@AA is a promising adsorbent for treating water contaminated by MOX and Cu2+, which broadens the application of magnetic β-CD adsorbents in environmental protection.

Abstract
Compared to conventional adsorbents, zinc-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) such as zeolite imidazolium skeleton-8 (ZIF-8) exhibit enhanced thermal, chemical, and structural stability. Nonetheless, their powdered form results in limited dispersibility in aqueous solutions and a tendency to aggregate, which significantly restricts their utility in adsorption applications. This study reports a green composite aerogel through the in situ mineralization of ZIF-8 onto bacterial cellulose (BC) for the effective removal of toxic metal ions (Cu2+) and Congo red (CR) from wastewater. The ZIF@BC composite aerogel was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and specific surface area analysis. The findings indicated that the ZIF-8 produced were evenly distributed across the BC nanonetwork, facilitating effective adsorption of CR and Cu2+. The maximum adsorption capacities of the ZIF@BC aerogels were determined to be 397.55 mg/g for CR and 424.80 mg/g for Cu2+, as per the Langmuir isotherm. Furthermore, the ZIF-8@BC aerogels demonstrated excellent selectivity and reusability, particularly for CR adsorption. The proposed mechanism for the interaction between the composite aerogel and CR and Cu2+ involves electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, π-π bonding, coordination bonding, ion exchange, microchemical precipitation, and pore diffusion. This research offers significant promise for the utilization of MOF powders and highlights substantial industrial potential.

Abstract
Benzo-fused γ-lactams are fundamental in medicinal chemistry, acting as essential elements for various therapeutic agents due to their structural adaptability and capability to enhance biological activity. In their synthesis, transition metals play a pivotal role as catalysts, offering more efficient alternatives to traditional methods by facilitating C-N bond formation through mechanisms like intramolecular coupling. Recent advances have especially spotlighted transition-metal-catalyzed C-H amination reactions for directly converting C(sp2)-H to C(sp2)-N bonds, streamlining the creation of these compounds. Furthermore, biocatalytic approaches have emerged, providing asymmetric synthesis of lactams with high yield and enantioselectivity. This review examined the transition metal-catalyzed synthesis techniques for producing benzo-fused γ-lactams, marking a significant leap in organic synthesis by proposing more effective, selective, and greener production methods. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers in the fields of transition metal catalysts and those engaged in synthesizing these lactams.

Abstract
Substitution of a single atom in a photoactive system is capable of vastly altering its optoelectronic properties leading to the generation of an efficient photocatalyst. In this study, we explore the impact of two-fold single-atom substitutions on the optoelectronic properties and photocatalytic performance of donor-acceptor type conjugated microporous polymers (D-A CMPs). For this, three isostructural triphenylamine (TPA)-based D-A CMPs were synthesized namely PTPA-BT, PTPA-BS, and PTPA-PS containing 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole, 2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole and [1,2,5]selenadiazolo[3,4-c]pyridine as the acceptor moieties, respectively. Firstly, PTPA-BT and PTPA-BS were synthesized using the S to Se single-atom substitution strategy, followed by the synthesis of PTPA-PS employing a second C to N single-atom substitution. The effect of single-atom substitution demonstrated drastic changes in their band gap, conductivity, and charge carrier dynamics, which in turn impacted their photocatalytic activity, although the change in their porosity was not much pronounced. In terms of photocatalytic detoxification of sulfur mustards, the activities of D-A CMPs follow the trend: PTPA-BS > PTPA-PS > PTPA-BT. In comparison with PTPA-BT (containing C, S) and PTPA-PS (containing N, Se), PTPA-BS (containing C, Se) exhibits a higher photocatalytic activity towards the photooxidation of thioanisole with >99% conversion and ∼93% isolated yield under visible-light illumination, which is attributed to its lower interfacial charge transfer resistance, stronger photocurrent response, optimal band gap and higher activity to generate superoxide anion radicals. Therefore, the two-fold single-atom substitution strategy is crucial for optimizing D-A CMPs for the photocatalytic oxidation of aryl sulfides. This approach allows fine-tuning of the optoelectronic properties to enhance photocatalytic efficiency and performance.

Application of waste eggshells elevates phytoremediation efficiency of Pb-Zn mine-contaminated farmland and mitigates soil greenhouse gas emissions: A field study. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 370:122947. [PMID: 39423615 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.122947] [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: 08/02/2024] [Revised: 10/09/2024] [Accepted: 10/13/2024] [Indexed: 10/21/2024]
Abstract
Remediating heavy metal (HM)-contaminated farmlands and sequestering soil carbon for emission reduction have been prominent topics in environmental research in recent years. However, few studies have looked into the soil greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts of growing hyperaccumulators in composite HM-contaminated farmland, as well as agronomic measures to remediate soil HMs while mitigating GHG emissions. To investigate fertilization measures to improve phytoremediation efficiency and mitigate GHG emissions, S. photeinocarpum was planted with three different fertilization measures on farmland contaminated by lead-zinc (Pb-Zn) mines (1200 kg ha-1 eggshell, 125 kg ha-1 28-homobrassinolide, and 16.7 kg ha-1 mineral potassium fulvic acid) during its growth period. The findings are as follows: Eggshell application significantly enhanced the translocation factor (TF) of Pb, Zn, and cadmium (Cd) from the roots to the shoots of Solanum photeinocarpum. Moreover, eggshells notably increased the bioaccumulation factor (BCF) of Cd and Pb in plant shoots by 120.75% and 159.09%, respectively. Regarding GHG emissions, the combined application of eggshells and 28-homobrassinolide substantially lowered the global warming potential (GWP) of the soil. Correlation analyses revealed that eggshell application increased the relative abundance of the Gemmatimonadota bacterial phylum in the soil, facilitating Pb and Cd migration from the roots to shoot tissues in S. photeinocarpum. Eggshell use inhibited nitrate nitrogen (NO3--N) transformation into nitrous oxide (N2O) by the Myxococcota bacterial phylum and reduced N2O release from the soil. The application of low-cost eggshells can achieve a win-win situation of soil HM remediation and GHG emission reduction, as well as provide simple and scalable management measures for HM-contaminated farmland.

Abstract
The excessive emission of greenhouse gases, which leads to global warming and alarms the world, has triggered a global campaign for carbon neutrality. Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology has aroused wide research interest as a versatile emission mitigation technology. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as a new class of high-performance adsorbents, hold great potential for CO2 capture from large point sources and ambient air due to their ultra-high specific surface area as well as pore structure. In recent years, MOFs have made great progress in the field of CO2 capture and separation, and have published a number of important results, which have greatly promoted the development of MOF materials for practical carbon capture applications. This review summarizes the most recent advanced research on MOF materials for carbon capture in various application scenarios over the past six years. The strategies for enhancing CO2 selective adsorption and separation of MOFs are described in detail, along with the development of MOF-based composites. Moreover, this review also systematically summarizes the highly concerned issues of MOF materials in practical applications of carbon capture. Finally, future research on CO2 capture by MOF materials is prospected.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently received a lot of interest for their use in adsorbing and eliminating hexavalent chromium from water. Obtaining low-cost, biocompatible, and environmentally friendly MOFs for research in this field is vital. One very stable three-dimensional UiO-66-Ce(IV) MOF, Ce-asp, was synthesized with a high yield using an amino acid ligand, DL-aspartic acid. As a result, the adsorption characteristics of the MOF against hexavalent chromium ions in aqueous solution were examined. The effects of time, solution pH, MOF dose, and beginning chromium(VI) content in aqueous solution were investigated on adsorption. More crucially, the adsorption mechanism of this MOF for chromium(VI) was proposed, setting the groundwork for its future use in chromium(VI) removal in real-world waters.

Abstract
Biosorption, a non-expensive and easy method for removing potentially toxic metal ions from water, has been the subject of extensive research. In this context, this study introduces a novel approach using sodium alginate and chitosan, versatile biopolymers that have shown excellent results as biosorbents. The challenge of maintaining high efficiencies and reuse is addressed by developing alginate/chitosan-based films. These films, prepared using solvent casting and crosslinking methods, form a hydrogel network. The alginate/chitosan-based films, obtained using the eco-friendly polyelectrolyte complex method, were characterized by FTIR, SEM, TGA, and DSC. The study of their swelling pH response, adsorption, and desorption behavior revealed promising results. The adsorption of Pb was significantly enhanced by the presence of both biopolymers (98%) in a shorter time (15 min) at pH = 6.5. The adsorption of both ions followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic and the Langmuir isotherm model. The desorption efficiencies for Cd and Pb were 98.8% and 77.6% after five adsorption/desorption cycles, respectively. In conclusion, the alginate/chitosan-based films present a highly effective and novel approach for removing Cd and Pb from water, with a promising potential for reuse, demonstrating their strong potential in potentially toxic metal removal.

Abstract
The contamination of water sources with heavy metals, dyes, and other pollutants poses significant challenges to environmental sustainability and public health. Traditional water treatment methods often exhibit limitations in effectively addressing these complex contaminants. In response, recent developments in nanotechnology have catalyzed the exploration of novel materials for water remediation, with nanoparticle-doped zeolites emerging as a promising solution. This comprehensive review synthesizes current literature on the integration of nanoparticles into zeolite frameworks for enhanced contaminant removal in water treatment applications. We delve into synthesis methodologies, elucidate mechanistic insights, and evaluate the efficacy of nanoparticle-doped zeolites in targeting specific pollutants, while also assessing considerations of material stability and environmental impact. The review underscores the superior adsorptive and catalytic properties of nanoparticle-doped zeolites, owing to their high surface area, tailored porosity, and enhanced ion-exchange capabilities. Furthermore, we highlight recent advancements in heavy metal and organic pollutant uptake facilitated by these materials. Additionally, we explore the catalytic degradation of contaminants through advanced oxidation processes, demonstrating the multifunctionality of nanoparticle-doped zeolites in water treatment. By providing a comprehensive analysis of existing research, this review aims to guide future developments in the field, promoting the sustainable utilization of nanoparticle-doped zeolites as efficient and versatile materials for water remediation endeavors.

Abstract
In this study, a novel, low-cost, and efficient adsorbent film was fabricated by a solvothermal method. The adsorbent film was developed to be hydrolytically stable, not vulnerable to aggregation in aqueous environments, and not prone to secondary contamination. The adsorbent consists of cellulose acetate (CA) as a support embedded with a MOF-5/crystalline nanocellulose (CNC) composite material. The CA-supported MOF-5/CNC film was characterized using a variety of techniques, including X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, which revealed hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups on the adsorbent film. The film was evaluated for the adsorptive removal of methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution. Adsorption was characterized by a rapid increase in MB adsorption during the first hour with equilibrium achieved within 4-5 h into the adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacity was determined to be 4.29 mg/g and the maximum dye removal efficiency was 77%. The MB adsorption process best fitted the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. Thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption was exothermic and feasible. The adsorbent film showed admirable regeneration ability, demonstrating its cost-effectiveness and its potential as a promising material for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
To address the serious environmental pollution problems of toxic heavy metal ions in water bodies, a novel fluorescent composite hydrogel N, P-CDs@CMC/PEI with a bio-based polymer matrix of carboxylmethyl cellulose (CMC), polyethylenimine (PEI) as a second interpenetrating network and N, P-doped carbon dots (N, P-CDs) as a fluorescent probe was prepared for simultaneous detection and capture of HMIs by a facile and simple one-step approach. The morphology, chemical structure, swelling ratio, mechanical strength and fluorescence property of these composite hydrogels were studied through varied characterization methods. The composite hydrogel showed sensitive and selective fluorescence response with Hg(II) and Fe(III) and the according LOD values were 0.48 and 0.27 mg L-1, respectively. The relationship between the types of the adsorbent, pH value, HMIs concentration and temperature on the adsorption capacity of these composite hydrogels were studied. The pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model were applicable to explain the adsorption process of CPH2 for Hg(II) and Cr(VI). The maximum calculated adsorption capacities for the above targeted HMIs by Langmuir model were 846.7 and 289.5 mg g-1, respectively. Coexisting inorganic salts and organic acids in low concentration had little effects on Hg(II) and Cr(VI) removal and the composite hydrogel showed good recyclability and stability for Hg(II) and Cr(VI) removal after four cycles. The electrostatic attraction and coordination covalent bonds were responsible for the adsorption process.

Abstract
Different Br-doped metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived (Brx@UiO-66) have been prepared by heat treatment using UiO-66 as the precursor. The experimental results showed that Br0.2@UiO-66 exhibited the best photocatalytic oxidation and adsorption performances toward acetaldehyde. In the dynamic system, the acetaldehyde removal rate and adsorption capacity of Br0.2@UiO-66 were 93.2 % and 230.59 mg/g, respectively. The improvement of the photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the presence of Br ions and CBr bonds, which facilitated the rapid separation of electrons and holes and the production of •O2-. In addition, Br0.2@UiO-66 had a better adsorption performance than 300UiO-66, mainly because of the increased Lewis acidity of the metal active sites due to Br doping. Radical capture experiments indicated that •O2- and e- were the primary active substances in acetaldehyde oxidation, and allowed establishing the possible mechanism of acetaldehyde oxidation. This work shows that MOFs can have high catalytic oxidation performances toward volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while retaining their adsorption capacity, and can be used for practical applications in the adsorption-catalytic integrated degradation of VOCs.

Abstract
Constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment pose challenges related to long-term operational efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale. This study investigated the impact of adding peat, humic acid, and biochar into the substrates of constructed wetlands and focused on Cr, and Ni removal, greenhouse gas emissions, and microbial communities in constructed wetlands. Biochar addition treatment achieved the highest removal efficiencies for total Cr (99.96%), Cr (VI) (100%), and total Ni (91.04%). Humic acid and biochar addition both significantly increased the heavy metal content in wetland plant Leersia hexandra and substrates of constructed wetlands. Further analysis of microbial community proportions by high-throughput sequencing revealed that biochar and humic acid treatments enhanced Cr and Ni removal efficiency by increasing the abundance of Bacteroidetes, Geobacter and Ascomycota. Humic acid addition treatment reduced CO2 emissions by decreasing the abundance of Bacteroidetes and increasing that of Basidiomycota. Peat treatment decreased CH4 emissions by reducing the abundance of the Bacteroidetes. Biochar treatment increased the abundance of the Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria as well as Basidiomycota, resulting in reduced N2O emissions. Biochar and humic acid treatments efficiently removed heavy metals from wastewater and mitigated greenhouse gas emissions in constructed wetlands by modifying the microbial communities.

Abstract
Increased levels of heavy metals (HMs) in aquatic environments poses serious health and ecological concerns. Hence, several approaches have been proposed to eliminate/reduce the levels of HMs before the discharge/reuse of HMs-contaminated waters. Adsorption is one of the most attractive processes for water decontamination; however, the efficiency of this process greatly depends on the choice of adsorbent. Therefore, the key aim of this article is to review the progress in the development and application of different classes of conventional and emerging adsorbents for the abatement of HMs from contaminated waters. Adsorbents that are based on activated carbon, natural materials, microbial, clay minerals, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), nano-zerovalent iron (nZVI), graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are critically reviewed, with more emphasis on the last four adsorbents and their nanocomposites since they have the potential to significantly boost the HMs removal efficiency from contaminated waters. Furthermore, the optimal process conditions to achieve efficient performance are discussed. Additionally, adsorption isotherm, kinetics, thermodynamics, mechanisms, and effects of varying adsorption process parameters have been introduced. Moreover, heavy metal removal driven by other processes such as oxidation, reduction, and precipitation that might concurrently occur in parallel with adsorption have been reviewed. The application of adsorption for the treatment of real wastewater has been also reviewed. Finally, challenges, limitations and potential areas for improvements in the adsorptive removal of HMs from contaminated waters are identified and discussed. Thus, this article serves as a comprehensive reference for the recent developments in the field of adsorptive removal of heavy metals from wastewater. The proposed future research work at the end of this review could help in addressing some of the key limitations facing this technology, and create a platform for boosting the efficiency of the adsorptive removal of heavy metals.

Abstract
The photothermal process has attracted considerable attention in water treatment due to its advantages of low energy consumption and high efficiency. In this respect, photothermal materials play a crucial role in the photothermal process. Particularly, carbonaceous materials have emerged as promising candidates for this process because of exceptional photothermal performance. While previous research on carbonaceous materials has primarily focused on photothermal evaporation and sterilization, there is now a growing interest in exploring the potential of photothermal effect-assisted advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). However, the underlying mechanism of the photothermal effect assisted by carbonaceous materials remains unclear. This review aims to provide a comprehensive review of the photothermal process of carbonaceous materials in water treatment. It begins by introducing the photothermal properties of carbonaceous materials, followed by a discussion on strategies for enhancing these properties. Then, the application of carbonaceous materials-based photothermal process for water treatment is summarized. This includes both direct photothermal processes such as photothermal evaporation and sterilization, as well as indirect photothermal processes that assisted AOPs. Meanwhile, various mechanisms assisted by the photothermal effect are summarized. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of using carbonaceous materials-based photothermal processes for water treatment are proposed.

Bio-based nanocomposite hydrogels derived from poly (glycerol tartrate) and cellulose: Thermally stable and green adsorbents for efficient adsorption of heavy metals. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 349:140956. [PMID: 38104732 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140956] [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: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
The eco-friendly polymeric nanocomposite hydrogels were prepared by incorporating dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DFNS) and apple peel (AP) as reinforcements into the crosslinked polymer produced by cellulose (CL) and poly (glycerol tartrate) (TAGL) via gelation method and used for efficient adsorption of Pb2+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ metal ions. DFNS and DFNS/TAGL-CL/AP samples were characterized by FESEM, FTIR, TEM, TGA, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption methods. The results of TGA analysis showed that the thermal stability of the prepared hydrogels improved significantly in the presence of DFNS. Both synthetic and environmental parameters were investigated and the adsorption capacity reached 560.2 (pH = 4) and 473.12 (pH = 5) mg/g for Pb2+ and Cu2+ respectively, using initial ion concentration of 200 mg/L. Also, the maximum adsorption capacity was 340.9, and 350.3 mg/g for Co2+ and Ni2+, respectively under optimum conditions (pH = 6, initial ion concentration of 100 mg/L). These experiments indicated that the DFNS/TAGL-CL/AP nanocomposite hydrogel has an excellent performance in removal of Pb2+ and can adsorb this toxic metal in only 30 min while the optimum contact time for other metals was 60 min. Pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models were used to define the kinetic and adsorption isotherms, respectively and thermodynamic studies demonstrated that the adsorption was endothermic for Co2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+, exothermic for Pb2+, and spontaneous in nature for all metal ions. Furthermore, the reusability tests indicated that the hydrogels could maintain up to 93% of their initial adsorption capacity for all metal ions after four cycles. Therefore, the prepared nanocomposite hydrogels can be suggested as efficient adsorbents to remove the toxic metals from wastewater.

Abstract
Rapid industrialization and agricultural development have resulted in the accumulation of a variety of harmful contaminants in water resources. Thus, various approaches such as adsorption, photocatalytic degradation and methods for sensing water contaminants have been developed to solve the problem of water pollution. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of coordination networks comprising organic-inorganic hybrid porous materials having organic ligands attached to inorganic metal ions/clusters via coordination bonds. MOFs represent an emerging class of materials for application in water remediation owing to their versatile structural and chemical characteristics, such as well-ordered porous structures, large specific surface area, structural diversity, and tunable sites. The present review is focused on recent advances in various MOFs for application in water remediation via the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of water contaminants. The sensing of water pollutants using MOFs via different approaches, such as luminescence, electrochemical, colorimetric, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic techniques, is also discussed. The high porosity and chemical tunability of MOFs are the main driving forces for their widespread applications, which have huge potential for their commercial use.

Abstract
Cellulose/poly (glycerol citrate) reinforced with thiol-rich polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane and apple peel (POSS-SH@CAG-CEL/AP) was synthesized using gelation method in the presence of glutaraldehyde as a crosslinker agent and used as an efficient composite hydrogel for elimination of Tl(Ι) from aqueous solutions. This composite hydrogel and synthesized thiol-rich polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, NMR, TGA, and FE-SEM techniques. The effects of synthetic and environmental parameters on the adsorption capacity of the composite hydrogel were investigated and it was found that thiol-rich polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane has improved the hydrogel properties including the Tl(Ι) uptake and the thermal stability. The maximum adsorption capacity of 352.3 mg g-1 was obtained within 30 min under optimum reaction conditions. A typical Langmuir adsorption isotherm with was observed for adsorption of Tl(I) onto POSS-SH@CAG-CEL/AP and pseudo-second-order kinetic model provided the best correlation between experimental data. Thermodynamic studies showed that the Tl(I) adsorption was spontaneous process and exothermic. Also, the reusability tests confirmed that the POSS-SH@CAG-CEL/AP can be reused for four times without any remarkable change in its adsorption capacity. Thus, this reusable biobased composite hydrogel can be an ideal candidate for elimination of Tl(I) from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Water pollution poses significant threats to both ecosystems and human health. Mitigating this issue requires effective treatment of domestic wastewater to convert waste into bio-fertilizers and gas. Neglecting liquid waste treatment carries severe consequences for health and the environment. This review focuses on intelligent technologies for water and wastewater treatment, targeting waterborne diseases. It covers pollution prevention and purification methods, including hydrotherapy, membrane filtration, mechanical filters, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, and copper-zinc cleaning. The article also highlights domestic purification, field techniques, heavy metal removal, and emerging technologies like nanochips, graphene, nanofiltration, atmospheric water generation, and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs)-based cleaning. Emphasizing water cleaning's significance for ecosystem protection and human health, the review discusses pollution challenges and explores the integration of wastewater treatment, coagulant processes, and nanoparticle utilization in management. It advocates collaborative efforts and innovative research for freshwater preservation and pollution mitigation. Innovative biological systems, combined with filtration, disinfection, and membranes, can elevate recovery rates by up to 90%, surpassing individual primary (<10%) or biological methods (≤50%). Advanced treatment methods can achieve up to 95% water recovery, exceeding UN goals for clean water and sanitation (Goal 6). This progress aligns with climate action objectives and safeguards vital water-rich habitats (Goal 13). The future holds promise with advanced purification techniques enhancing water quality and availability, underscoring the need for responsible water conservation and management for a sustainable future.

Abstract
Using agricultural and forestry wastes as raw materials, adsorbent materials were prepared for dye adsorption in wastewater, which can minimize the environmental load and fully realize sustainability by treating waste with waste. Taking lignosulfonate as a raw material, due to its molecular structure having more reactive groups, it is easy to form composite materials via a chemical oxidation reaction with an aniline monomer. After that, using a sodium lignosulfonate/polyaniline composite as the precursor, the activated high-temperature pyrolysis process is used to prepare porous carbon materials with controllable morphology, structure, oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen content, which opens up a new way for the preparation of functional carbon materials. When the prepared O-N-S co-doped activated carbon materials (SNC) were used as adsorbents, the adsorption study of cationic dye methylene blue was carried out, and the removal rate of SNC could reach up to 99.53% in a methylene blue solution with an initial concentration of 100 mg/L, which was much higher than that of undoped lignocellulosic carbon materials, and the kinetic model conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption equilibrium amount of NC (lignosulfonate-free) and SNC reached 478.30 mg/g and 509.00 mg/g, respectively, at an initial concentration of 500 mg/L, which was consistent with the Langmuir adsorption isothermal model, and the adsorption of methylene blue on the surface of the carbon material was a monomolecular layer. The adsorption of methylene blue dye on the carbon-based adsorbent was confirmed to be a spontaneous and feasible adsorption process by thermodynamic parameters. Finally, the adsorption of SNC on methylene blue, rhodamine B, Congo red, and methyl orange dyes were compared, and it was found that the material adsorbed cationic dyes better. Furthermore, we also studied the adsorption of SNC on different kinds of heavy metal ions and found that its adsorption selectivity is better for Cr3+ and Pb2+ ions.

Abstract
Xe is an ideal anesthetic gas, but it has not been widely used in practice due to its high cost and low output. Closed-circuit Xe recovery and recycling is an economically viable method to ensure adequate supply in medical use. Herein, we design an innovative way to recover Xe by using a stable fluorinated metal-organic framework (MOF) NbOFFIVE-1-Ni to eliminate CO2 from moist exhaled anesthetic gases. Unlike other Xe recovery MOFs with low Xe/CO2 selectivity (less than 10), NbOFFIVE-1-Ni could achieve absolute molecular sieve separation of CO2 /Xe with excellent CO2 selectivity (825). Mixed-gas breakthrough experiments assert the potential of NbOFFIVE-1-Ni as a molecular sieve adsorbent for the effective and energy-efficient removal of carbon dioxide with 99.16 % Xe recovery. Absolute CO2 /Xe separation in NbOFFIVE-1-Ni makes closed-circuit Xe recovery and recycling can be easily realized, demonstrating the potential of NbOFFIVE-1-Ni for important anesthetic gas regeneration under ambient conditions.

[PMID: 37764456 PMCID: PMC10535165 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28186681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The heavy metal contamination of water systems has become a major environmental concern worldwide. Photocatalysis using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has emerged as a promising approach for heavy metal remediation, owing to the ability of MOFs to fully degrade contaminants through redox reactions that are driven by photogenerated charge carriers. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of recent developments in MOF-based photocatalysts for removing and decontaminating heavy metals from water. The tunable nature of MOFs allows the rational design of composition and features to enhance light harvesting, charge separation, pollutant absorptivity, and photocatalytic activities. Key strategies employed include metal coordination tuning, organic ligand functionalization, heteroatom doping, plasmonic nanoparticle incorporation, defect engineering, and morphology control. The mechanisms involved in the interactions between MOF photocatalysts and heavy metal contaminants are discussed, including light absorption, charge carrier separation, metal ion adsorption, and photocatalytic redox reactions. The review highlights diverse applications of MOF photocatalysts in treating heavy metals such as lead, mercury, chromium, cadmium, silver, arsenic, nickel, etc. in water remediation. Kinetic modeling provides vital insights into the complex interplay between coupled processes such as adsorption and photocatalytic degradation that influence treatment efficiency. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is also crucial for evaluating the sustainability of MOF-based technologies. By elucidating the latest advances, current challenges, and future opportunities, this review provides insights into the potential of MOF-based photocatalysts as a sustainable technology for addressing the critical issue of heavy metal pollution in water systems. Ongoing efforts are needed to address the issues of stability, recyclability, scalable synthesis, and practical reactor engineering.

Abstract
Water pollution has jeopardized human health, and a safe supply of drinking water has been recognized as a worldwide issue. The increase in the accumulation of heavy metals in water from different sources has led to the search for efficient and environmentally friendly treatment methods and materials for their removal. Natural zeolites are promising materials for removing heavy metals from different sources contaminating the water. It is important to know the structure, chemistry, and performance of the removal of heavy metals from water, of the natural zeolites to design water treatment processes. This review focuses on critical analyses of the application of distinct natural zeolites for the adsorption of heavy metals from water, specifically, arsenic (As(III), As(V)), cadmium (Cd(II)), chromium (Cr(III), Cr(VI)), lead (Pb(II)), mercury(Hg(II)) and nickel (Ni(II)). The reported results of heavy-metal removal by natural zeolites are summarized, and the chemical modification of natural zeolites by acid/base/salt reagent, surfactants, and metallic reagents has been analyzed, compared, and described. Furthermore, the adsorption/desorption capacity, systems, operating parameters, isotherms, and kinetics for natural zeolites were described and compared. According to the analysis, clinoptilolite is the most applied natural zeolite to remove heavy metals. It is effective in removing As, Cd, Cr, Pb, Hg, and Ni. Additionally, an interesting fact is a variation between the natural zeolites from different geological origins regarding the sorption properties and capacities for heavy metals suggesting that natural zeolites from different regions of the world are unique.

Abstract
Biochar can be used for soil remediation in environmentally beneficial manner, especially when combined with nanomaterials. After a decade of research, still, no comprehensive review was conducted on the effectiveness of biochar-based nanocomposites in controlling heavy metal immobilization at soil interfaces. In this paper, the recent progress in immobilizing heavy metals using biochar-based nanocomposite materials were reviewed and compared their efficacy against that of biochar alone. In details, an overview of results on the immobilization of Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Cr, and As was presented by different nanocomposites made by various biochars derived from kenaf bar, green tea, residual bark, cornstalk, wheat straw, sawdust, palm fiber, and bagasse. Biochar nanocomposite was found to be most effective when combined with metallic nanoparticles (Fe3O4 and FeS) and carbonaceous nanomaterials (graphene oxide and chitosan). This study also devoted special consideration to different remediation mechanisms by which the nanomaterials affect the effectiveness of the immobilization process. The effects of nanocomposites on soil characteristics related to pollution migration, phytotoxicity, and soil microbial composition were assessed. A future perspective on nanocomposites' use in contaminated soils was presented.

Their unique structural properties, including large surface area to volume ratio with multi-functionalities and ultra-high porosity, tunability, uniformity, and easy derivation and fabrication, render them effective materials for sensing applications. The detection of heavy metals in different environmental matrices using various MOF-based sensors is in practice. They include luminescent, electrochemical, electrochemiluminescent, colorimetric, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering, are of great interest. This review elaborates on selected synthetic methods for the fabrication of MOF-based sensors, modification routes for tailoring and enhancing the desired properties, basic characterization techniques, and their limitations in the detection of heavy metals. Also, it emphasizes the use of various types of MOF-based sensors alternatively for the detection of different heavy metals such as Fe(III), Cr(III), Hg(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II) in addition to a normal metal Al(III). A collection of recent references is provided for researchers interested in such applications.

Abstract
BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I) families are a kind of new type of photocatalysts, which have attracted the attention of more and more researchers. The suitable band gaps and their convenient tunability via the change of X elements enable BiOX to adapt to many photocatalytic reactions. In addition, because of their characteristics of the unique layered structure and indirect bandgap semiconductor, BiOX exhibits excellent separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes. Therefore, BiOX could usually demonstrate fine activity in many photocatalytic reactions. In this review, we will present the various applications and modification strategies of BiOX in photocatalytic reactions. Finally, based on a good understanding of the above issues, we will propose the future directions and feasibilities of the reasonable design of modification strategies of BiOX to obtain better photocatalytic activity toward various photocatalytic applications.

Abstract
Because of the excessive use of fossil fuels, CO2 emissions into the environment are increasing. An efficient method of converting CO2 to useful carbonaceous products in the presence of light is one way to address the issues associated with energy and environmental remediation. In2S3/WS2 heterostructure has been fabricated using the efficient hydrothermal method. The results of structural, morphological, optical, and photo/electrochemical characterization confirm the formation of a hierarchical, layered heterostructure of type-II. Enhanced photocatalytic activity is observed in InS/WS heterostructure compared to pristine In2S3 and WS2. InS/WS heterostructure exhibit higher photocatalytic activity than pure In2S3 and WS2. For 12 h, photocatalytic CO2 reduction produces 213.4 and 188.6 μmol of CO and CH4, respectively. Furthermore, the photocatalytic ability of the synthesized materials to degrade different parabens (Methyl: MPB, Ethyl: EPB, and Benzyl: BPB) under visible radiation was evaluated. Under optimized conditions, the InS/WS heterostructure degraded 88.6, 90.4, and 95.8% of EPB, BPB, and MPB, respectively, in 90 min. The mechanism of photocatalysis was discussed in detail. MCF-7 cell viability was assessed and found to exhibit low mortality in InS/WS treated MPB aqueous solution. InS/WS heterostructure could improve the fabrication of more sulphide-based layered materials to combat environmental pollution.

Abstract
In this work, various amounts of the UiO-66-NH2 and UiO-66-NH2/TiO2 MOFs have been loaded into polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers supported on polyethersulfone (PES). The visible light irradiation was used to investigate the influence of pH (2-10), initial concentration (10-500 mg L-1), and time (5-240 min) on the removal efficiency of phenol and Cr(vi) in the presence of MOFs. The reaction time: 120 min, catalyst dosage: 0.5 g L-1, pH: 2 for Cr(vi) ions and pH: 3 for phenol molecules were optimum to degrade phenol and to reduce Cr(vi) ions. The characterization of the produced samples was performed using X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis. The capability of synthesized photocatalytic membranes was investigated for the removal of phenol and Cr(vi) ions from water. The water flux, Cr(vi) and phenol solutions fluxes and their rejection percentages were evaluated under pressure of 2 bar in the presence of visible light irradiation and in the dark. The best performance of the synthesized nanofibers was obtained for UiO-66-NH2/TiO2 MOF 5 wt% loaded-PES/PAN nanofibrous membranes at temperature of 25 °C and pH of 3. Results demonstrated the high capability of MOFs-loaded nanofibrous membranes for the removal of various contaminants such as Cr(vi) ions and phenol molecules from water.

Abstract
Water pollution is increasing significantly owing to industrialization and population growth that lead to serious environmental and health issues. Therefore, the design and development of more effective wastewater treatment approaches are necessary due to a significant upsurge in demand for freshwater. More recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted attention in environmental science owing to their tunable porosity, unique structure, flexibility, and various composition. Despite these attractive advantages, some drawbacks, including intrinsic fragility, unsatisfied processability, dust formation, and poor reusability, have greatly limited their applications. Therefore, MOFs are often designed as supported-based MOFs (e.g., MOFs-coated composites) or 3D structured composites, such as MOFs-based hydrogels. MOFs-based hydrogels are excellent candidates in the sorption process because of their appropriate adsorption capacity, porous structure, good mechanical properties, durability as well as biodegradable features. In this review, the removal of different pollutants (e.g., synthetic dyes, phosphates, heavy metals, antibiotics, and some organic compounds) from aqueous media has been studied by the adsorption process using MOFs-based hydrogels. The important advancements in the fabrication of MOFs-based hydrogels and their capacities in the adsorption of pollutants under experimental conditions have been discussed. Finally, problems and future perspectives on the adsorption process using MOFs-based hydrogels have been investigated.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction is an appealing strategy for mitigating the environmental effects of greenhouse gases while simultaneously producing valuable carbon-neutral fuels. Numerous attempts have been made to produce effective and efficient photocatalysts for CO2 reduction. In contrast, the selection of competitive catalysts continues to be a substantial hindrance and a considerable difficulty in the development of photocatalytic CO2 reduction. It is vital to emphasize different techniques for building effective photocatalysts to improve CO2 reduction performance in order to achieve a long-term sustainability. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are recently emerging as a new type of photocatalysts for CO2 reduction due to their excellent CO2 adsorption capability and unique structural characteristics. This review examines the most recent breakthroughs in various techniques for modifying MOFs in order to improve their efficiency of photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The advantages of MOFs using as photocatalysts are summarized, followed by different methods for enhancing their effectiveness for photocatalytic CO2 reduction via partial ion exchange of metal clusters, design of bimetal clusters, the modification of organic linkers, and the embedding of metal complexes. For integrating MOFs with semiconductors, metallic nanoparticles (NPs), and other materials, a number of different approaches have been also reviewed. The final section of this review discusses the existing challenges and future prospects of MOFs as photocatalysts for CO2 reduction. Hopefully, this review can stimulate intensive research on the rational design and development of more effective MOF-based photocatalysts for visible-light driven CO2 conversion.

Recent advances in application of heterogeneous electro-Fenton catalysts for degrading organic contaminants in water. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:39431-39450. [PMID: 36763272 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-25726-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023]
Abstract
Over the last decades, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been widely used in surface and ground water pollution control. The heterogeneous electro-Fenton (EF) process has gained much attention due to its properties of high catalytic performance, no generation of iron sludge, and good recyclability of catalyst. As of October 2022, the cited papers and publications of EF are around 1.3 × 10-5 and 3.4 × 10-3 in web of science. Among the AOP techniques, the contaminant removal efficiencies by EF process are above 90% in most studies. Current reviews mainly focused on the mechanism of EF and few reviews comprehensively summarized heterogeneous catalysts and their applications in wastewater treatment. Thus, this review focuses on the current studies covering the period 2012-2022, and applications of heterogeneous catalysts in EF process. Two kinds of typical heterogeneous EF systems (the addition of solid catalysts and the functionalized cathode catalysts) and their applications for organic contaminants degradation in water are reviewed. In detail, solid catalysts, including iron minerals, iron oxide-based composites, and iron-free catalysts, are systematically described. Different functionalized cathode materials, containing Fe-based cathodes, carbonaceous-based cathodes, and heteroatom-doped cathodes, are also reviewed. Finally, emphasis and outlook are made on the future prospects and challenges of heterogeneous EF catalyst for wastewater treatments.

Abstract
A novel polyethyleneimine modified corn straw biochar supported sulfide nanoscale zero-valent iron (S-nZVI@PBC) was developed to enhance Cr(VI) removal from aqueous media. The characteristics of morphology, chemical composition, and functional groups of S-nZVI@PBC, as well as its kinetics and mechanism for Cr(VI) removal were explored. Characterization verified S-nZVI was successfully loaded onto PEI modified biochar. The adsorption process was well represented pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.990) and Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.962), indicating it was a monolayer chemical adsorption process. The Cr(VI) removal was affected by pH and achieved the maximum when pH = 3.0, which may be ascribed to the better corrosion of nZVI and release of Fe(II) from the S-nZVI@PBC in acidic condition. The primary mechanisms were adsorption, reduction, and co-precipitation. S-nZVI@PBC exhibited higher stability and reusability than nZVI, which makes it more promising in environmental application. Overall, S-nZVI@PBC is of great potential for treating Cr(VI)-containing wastewater.

Abstract
Developing a novel, simple, and cost-effective analytical technique with high enrichment capacity and selectivity is crucial for environmental monitoring and remediation. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous coordination polymers that are self-assembly synthesized from organic linkers and inorganic metal ions/metal clusters. Magnetic metal-organic framework (MMOF) composites are promising candidate among the new-generation sorbent materials available for magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) of environmental contaminants due to their superparamagnetism properties, high crystallinity, permanent porosity, ultrahigh specific surface area, adaptable pore shape/sizes, tunable functionality, designable framework topology, rapid and ultrahigh adsorption capacity, and reusability. In this review, we focus on recent scientific progress in the removal of heavy metal ions present in contaminated aquatic system by using MMOF composites. Different types of MMOFs, their synthetic approaches, and various properties that are harnessed for removal of heavy metal ions from contaminated water are discussed briefly. Adsorption mechanisms involved, adsorption capacity, and regeneration of the MMOF sorbents as well as recovery of heavy metal ions adsorbed that are reported in the last ten years have been discussed in this review. Moreover, particular prospects, challenges, and opportunities in future development of MMOFs towards their greener synthetic approaches for their practical industrial applications have critically been considered in this review.

Abstract
Water pollution is one of the most important problems in the field of environmental protection in the whole world, and organic pollution is a critical one for wastewater pollution problems. How to solve the problem effectively has triggered a common concern in the area of environmental protection nowadays. Around this problem, scientists have carried out a lot of research; due to the advantages of high efficiency, a lack of secondary pollution, and low cost, photocatalytic technology has attracted more and more attention. In the past, MnO2 was seldom used in the field of water pollution treatment due to its easy agglomeration and low catalytic activity at low temperatures. With the development of carbon materials, it was found that the composite of carbon materials and MnO2 could overcome the above defects, and the composite had good photocatalytic performance, and the research on the photocatalytic performance of MnO2-carbon materials has gradually become a research hotspot in recent years. This review covers recent progress on MnO2-carbon materials for photocatalytic water treatment. We focus on the preparation methods of MnO2 and different kinds of carbon material composites and the application of composite materials in the removal of phenolic compounds, antibiotics, organic dyes, and heavy metal ions in water. Finally, we present our perspective on the challenges and future research directions of MnO2-carbon materials in the field of environmental applications.

Abstract
Emerging chromium (Cr) species have attracted increasing concern. A majority of Cr species, especially hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), could lead to lethal effects on human beings, animals, and aquatic lives even at low concentrations. One of the conventional water-treatment methodologies, adsorption, could remove these toxic Cr species efficiently. Additionally, adsorption possesses many advantages, such as being cost-saving, easy to implement, highly efficient and facile to design. Previous research has shown that the application of different adsorbents, such as carbon nanotubes (carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene oxide (GO) and its derivatives), activated carbons (ACs), biochars (BCs), metal-based composites, polymers and others, is being used for Cr species removal from contaminated water and wastewater. The research progress and application of adsorption for Cr removal in recent years are reviewed, the mechanisms of adsorption are also discussed and the development trend of Cr treatment by adsorption is proposed.
