Abstract
Indoor formaldehyde pollution can cause inestimable harm to human health and even cancers, thus studies on the removal of formaldehyde attract extensive attentions. In this paper, an environmentally friendly and low-cost biomass material, sodium alginate (SA) was utilized to prepare pyrene functionalized amido-amine-alginic acid (AmAA-Py) by acidification and two-step amidation, which is subsequently self-assembled on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by π-π stacking interaction, and the final composites were acidified to afford a highly porous composite material for chemical removal of formaldehyde. The formaldehyde chemical removal performance of composite is evaluated at different conditions and find that 1.0 g of acidified alginate derivatives and graphene composites (HCl·AmAA-Py-rGO) can adsorb 69.2 mg of HCHO. Simultaneously, amino groups in amido-amine derivative of acidified sodium alginate (AmAA) can react with acidic pollutants such as H2S and HCl via forming ionic bonding without generating any other by-products, which enables efficient and environment-friendly removal of acidic pollutants. The subtle design of the highly porous composite material utilizing low-cost SA and rGO with large specific surface area opens up a new methodology for fabricating highly porous materials for efficient removal of formaldehyde and other indoor hazardous pollutants.

Abstract
Nowadays, water pollution by herbicides is known as a global concern. Paraquat (PQ) (1-1-methyl-4,4-bi-pyridinium-dichloride) is a chip with high performance, which is being widely used herbicide to remove weeds from agricultural and natural ecosystems. PQ can contaminate water sources due to its high solubility in water. Human death by poisoning effects of PQ has been reported in several countries. Therefore, the side effects of PQ are a global challenge. This study aimed to investigate the bioremediation of PQ by plant extracts, as a low-cost, nontoxic, and natural absorbent to remove PQ from aqueous solutions in different conditions. In this regard, the extracts of common purslane (portulaca oleracea), florist kalanchoe (kalanchoe blossfeldiana), and jade plant (crassula portulaca) were used as adsorbents. For this purpose, the effect of various parameters such as contact time, initial concentration of PQ solution, temperature, pH, and amount of extract was investigated. The results of present study showed that P. oleracea extract and C. portulaca extracts have higher adsorption efficiency than k. blossfeldiana extract. The highest PQ removal was obtained by P. oleracea extract (79.04%) and C. portulaca extract (78.72%) at pH = 11, the adsorbent content of 0.2 mg L-1, and the lowest absorption of PQ (50.6%) was obtained by K. blossfeldiana extract. The highest PQ removal by plant extract was observed at 30 min for P. oleracea and C. portulaca, and at 15 min for k. blossfeldiana extract. Moreover, surface absorption capacity increased with increasing plant extract concentration, decreasing PQ concentration and decreased with increasing temperature. Finally, it can be concluded that plant extract can help to remove PQ from the aqueous solution.

Abstract
In the last decade, both cellulose and alginate polysaccharides have been extensively utilized for the synthesis of biocompatible hydrogels because of their alluring characteristics like low cost, biodegradability, hydrophilicity, biodegradability, ease of availability and non-toxicity. The presence of abundant hydrophilic functional groups (like carboxyl and hydroxyl) on the surface of cellulose and alginate or their derivatives makes these materials promising candidates for the preparation of hydrogels with appealing structures and characteristics, leading to growing research in water treatment and biomedical fields. These two polysaccharides are typically blended together to improve hydrogels' desired qualities (mechanical strength, adsorption properties, cellulose/alginate yield). So, keeping in view their extensive applicability, in the present review article, recent advances in the development of cellulose/nanocellulose-alginate-based hydrogels and their relevance in water treatment (adsorption of dyes, heavy metals, etc.) and biomedical field (wound healing, tissue engineering, drug delivery) has been reviewed. Further, impact of other inorganic/organic additives in cellulose/nanocellulose-alginate-based hydrogels properties like contaminants adsorption, drug delivery, tissue engineering, etc., has also been studied. Moreover, the current difficulties and future prospects of nanocellulose-alginate-based hydrogels regarding their water purification and biomedical applications are also discussed at the end.

Abstract
In this paper, a kind of magnetic ferric oxide/polyvinyl alcohol/calcium alginate/UiO-67 (Fe3O4/PVA/CA/UiO-67) nanospheres with homogeneous surface interconnecting structures was prepared by using macromolecular polymer polyvinyl alcohol and sodium alginate as carriers and zirconium organic skeleton as nanocrystals. The properties of magnetic nanospheres were studied by SEM, FT-IR, TGA, XRD, BET, VSM and Zeta potential. The impression of diverse temperatures, MB concentrations, interaction time, pH, and magnetic aerogel sphere dose on MB removal was studied. The optimum adsorption temperature and pH of magnetic nanospheres for MB were 298 K, and 10, respectively. Langmuir simulated that the maximum removal of MB by magnetic nanospheres at room temperature (298 K) was 1371.8 mg/g. The removal of MB by magnetic nanospheres complied with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The isotherm simulation can infer that the Langmuir model was more comply with MB adsorption on magnetic aerogel spheres. Thermodynamic studies have confirmed that the removal of MB by magnetic nanospheres was exothermic and spontaneous. The interaction mechanism of MB on magnetic nanospheres can be deduced by FT-IR and BET, including hydrogen bond, π-π bond, electrostatic interaction, and mesoporous pore flow. The removal rate of nanospheres for MB still reached 70.06 % after six cycles.

Abstract
We report Na-Alginate-based hydrogels with high ionic conductivity and water content fabrication using poly (3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT): poly (4-styrene sulfonic acid) (PSS) and a hydrogel matrix based on dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). DMSO was incorporated within the PEDOT:PSS hydrogel. A hydrogel with higher conductivity was created through the in-situ synthesis of intra-Na-Alginate, which was then improved upon by H2SO4 treatment. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was used to examine the surface morphology of the pure and synthetic hydrogel. Structural analysis was performed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), which examines thermal properties, was also used. A specific capacitance of 312 F/g at 80 mV/s (energy density of 40.58 W/kg at a power density of 402.20 W/kg) at 100 DC mA/g was achieved by the symmetric Na-Alginate/PEDOT:PSS based flexible supercapacitor. The electrolyte achieved a higher ionic conductivity of 9.82 × 10-2 and 7.6 × 10-2 Scm-1 of Na-Alginate and a composite of Na-Alginate/PEDOT:PSS at 25 °C. Furthermore, the supercapacitor Na-Alginate/PEDOT:PSS//AC had excellent electrochemical stability by showing a capacity retention of 92.5% after 3000 continuous charge-discharge cycles at 10 mA current density. The Na- Alginate/PEDOT:PSS hydrogel displayed excellent flexibility and self-healing after re-contacting the two cut hydrogel samples of electrolyte for 90 min because of the dynamic cross-linking network efficiently dissipated energy. The illumination of a light-emitting diode (LED) verified the hydrogel's capacity for self-healing.

Abstract
Sugarcane bagasse fly ash is industrial waste produced by incinerating biomass to generate power and steam. The fly ash contains SiO2 and Al2O3, which can be used to prepare aluminosilicate. This latter material exhibits high potential as an adsorbent in various applications, including the livestock industry where issues related to contamination of aflatoxins in animal feeds need to be addressed; addition of adsorbents can help decrease the concentration of aflatoxins during feed digestion. In this study, the effect of the structure of silica prepared from sugarcane bagasse fly ash on physicochemical properties and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) adsorption capability compared with that of bentonite was investigated. BPS-5, Xerogel-5, MCM-41, and SBA-15 mesoporous silica supports were synthesized using sodium silicate hydrate (Na2SiO3) from sugarcane bagasse fly ash as a silica source. BPS-5, Xerogel-5, MCM-41, and SBA-15 exhibited amorphous structures, while sodium silicate possessed a crystalline structure. BPS-5 possessed larger pore size, pore volume, and pore size distribution with a bimodal mesoporous structure, while Xerogel-5 exhibited lower pore size and pore size distribution with a unimodal mesoporous structure. BPS-5 with a negatively charged surface exhibited the highest AFB1 adsorption capability compared with other porous silica. However, the AFB1 adsorption capability of bentonite was superior to those of all porous silica. Sufficient pore diameter with high total pore volume as well as high intensity of acid sites and negative charge on the surface of the adsorbent is required to increase AFB1 adsorption in the in vitro gastrointestinal tract of animals.

Abstract
Copper and dysprosium doped NiFe2O4 magnetic nanomaterials, Ni1-xCuxDyyFe2-yO4 (x = y = 0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03), was prepared by utilizing sol-gel auto-combustion approach to inspect the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) pollutant and also, to perform the electrocatalytic water splitting and antibacterial studies. The XRD analysis reveal the growth of a single-phase spinel cubic structure for produced nanomaterials. The magnetic traits show an increasing trend in saturation magnetization (Ms) from 40.71 to 47.90 emu/g along with a decreasing behaviour of coercivity from 158.09 to 142.31 Oe at lower and higher Cu and Dy doping content (x = 0.0-0.01). The study of optical band gap values of copper and dysprosium-doped nickel nanomaterials decreased from 1.71 to 1.52 eV. This will increase the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue pollutant from 88.57% to 93.67% under natural sunlight, respectively. These findings clearly show that under natural sunlight irradiation for 60 min, the produced N4 photocatalyst displays the greatest photocatalytic activity with a maximum removal percentage of 93.67%. The electrocatalytic characteristics of produced magnetic nanomaterials for both HER and OER were examined with a Calomel electrode taking as a reference in a 0.5 N H2SO4 and 0.1 N KOH electrolyte. The N4 electrode demonstrated considerable 10 and 0.024 mA/cm2 of current density, with onset potentials of 0.99 and 1.5 V for HER and OER and also, have tafel slopes of 58.04 and 295 mV/dec, respectively. The antibacterial activity for produced magnetic nanomaterials was examined against various bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, S. typhi, and P. aeruginosa) in which N3 sample produced significant inhibition zone against gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) but no zone of inhibition against gram-negative bacteria (S. typhi and P. aeruginosa). With all these superior traits, the produced magnetic nanomaterials are highly valuable for the wastewater remediation, hydrogen evolution, and biological applications.

Abstract
The β-cyclodextrin polymer (PβCD) cross-linked with pyromellitic dianhydride (PD) and functionalized with an amino group (PAβCD) was introduced into a matrix made of sodium alginate (SA). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed a homogeneous surface of the composite material. Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) testing of the PAβCD confirmed polymer formation. The tested polymer increased its solubility relative to the polymer without the amino group. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed the stability of the system. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed the chemical binding of PAβCD and SA. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC-SEC) showed high cross-linking of PAβCD and allowed for accurate determination of its weight. The formation of the composite material such as PAβCD introduced into a matrix made of sodium alginate (SA) has several potential environmental implications, including the use of sustainable materials, reduced waste generation, reduced toxicity, and improved solubility.

Abstract
Since the first report on the pharmacological activity of curcumin in 1949, enormous amounts of research have reported diverse activities for this natural polyphenol found in the dietary spice turmeric. However, curcumin has not yet been used for human application as an approved drug. The clinical translation of curcumin has been hampered due to its low solubility and bioavailability. The improvement in bioavailability and solubility of curcumin can be achieved by its formulation using drug delivery systems. Hydrogels with their biocompatibility and low toxicity effects have shown a substantial impact on the successful formulation of hydrophobic drugs for human clinical trials. This review focuses on hydrogel-based delivery systems for curcumin and describes its applications as anti-cancer as well as wound healing agents.

Abstract
In previous years, different pollutants, for example, organic dyes, antibiotics, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural pollutants, have been of note to the water enterprise due to their insufficient reduction during standard water and wastewater processing methods. MOFs have been found to have potential toward wastewater management. This Review focused on the synthesis process (such as traditional, electrochemical, microwave, sonochemical, mechanochemical, and continuous-flow spray-drying method) of MOF materials. Moreover, the properties of the MOF materials have been discussed in detail. Further, MOF materials' applications for wastewater treatment (such as the removal of antibiotics, organic dyes, heavy metal ions, and agricultural waste) have been discussed. Additionally, we have compared the performances of some typical MOFs-based materials with those of other commonly used materials. Finally, the study's current challenges, future prospects, and outlook have been highlighted.

Abstract
The current research includes the synthesis, improvement of NaCMC-cl-DMAA/AAc hydrogel and in-situ controlled release of gentamicin within various pH environments. The prepared hydrogel was then modified using boron nitride nanosheets aiming to enhancement in the adsorption rate. The prepared hydrogels were investigated by FTIR, XRD, FESEM, TGA/DSC, swelling and cell viability analysis. Cytotoxicity study indicated that prepared sample has a cytocompatibility nature towards healthy normal human cell line (FR2 cells). By changing the pH environment, the drug release properties of the hydrogels can be controlled. The cumulative rate of release for NaCMC-cl-DMAA/AAc hydrogel was 76.5 % at pH = 2.2 and 87.5 % at pH = 7.4. Whereas drug release rate for NaCMC-cl-DMAA/AAc-BNNSs hydrogel composite was 78.6 % at pH = 2.2 and 97.3 % at pH = 7.4 within 4320 min. Gentamicin release kinetics have been determined using the Korsemeyar-Peppas model, which confirms the drug release mechanism.

Abstract
One of the emerging environmental concerns is the high levels of arsenic ions found in groundwater and other water sources. Decontaminating water that contains arsenic is crucial for environmental and health reasons. Nano-adsorbents have gained much interest recently for the adsorptive removal of arsenic species from wastewater. On the other hand, for their prospective use in natural water treatment, current nano-adsorbents must be separated from treated fluids. Researchers studied nanocomposite iron oxide-based adsorbents to overcome these problems and to design effective sorbents for removing arsenic. This study provides a summary of current developments in the field of magnetic nanoadsorbents for the removal of various arsenic compounds from wastewater. Adsorption of arsenic from groundwater has been found to be very promising for magnetic nanoadsorbents. In order to eliminate arsenic from the aqueous phase, magnetic nanocomposite adsorbents may offer practical and affordable water purification solutions.

Abstract
Many environmental pollutants caused by uncontrolled urbanization and rapid industrial growth have provoked serious concerns worldwide. These pollutants, including toxic metals, dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, volatile organic compounds, and petroleum hydrocarbons, unenviably compromise the water quality and manifest a severe menace to aquatic entities and human beings. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to acquaint bio-nanocomposites with the capability to remove and decontaminate this extensive range of emerging pollutants. Recently, considerable emphasis has been devoted to developing low-cost novel materials obtained from natural resources accompanied by minimal toxicity to the environment. One such component is cellulose, naturally the most abundant organic polymer found in nature. Given bio-renewable sources, natural abundance, and impressive nanofibril arrangement, cellulose-reinforced composites are widely engineered and utilized for multiple applications, such as wastewater decontamination, energy storage devices, drug delivery systems, paper and pulp industries, construction industries, and adhesives, etc. Environmental remediation prospective is among the fascinating application of these cellulose-reinforced composites. This review discusses the structural attributes of cellulose, types of cellulose fibrils-based nano-biocomposites, preparatory techniques, and the potential of cellulose-based composites to remediate a diverse array of organic and inorganic pollutants in wastewater.
