Bao T, Damtie MM, Wang CY, Li CL, Chen Z, Cho K, Wei W, Yuan P, Frost RL, Ni BJ. Iron-containing nanominerals for sustainable phosphate management: A comprehensive review and future perspectives. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 926:172025. [PMID: 38554954 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
Adsorption, which is a quick and effective method for phosphate management, can effectively address the crisis of phosphorus mineral resources and control eutrophication. Phosphate management systems typically use iron-containing nanominerals (ICNs) with large surface areas and high activity, as well as modified ICNs (mICNs). This paper comprehensively reviews phosphate management by ICNs and mICNs in different water environments. mICNs have a higher affinity for phosphates than ICNs. Phosphate adsorption on ICNs and mICNs occurs through mechanisms such as surface complexation, surface precipitation, electrostatic ligand exchange, and electrostatic attraction. Ionic strength influences phosphate adsorption by changing the surface potential and isoelectric point of ICNs and mICNs. Anions exhibit inhibitory effects on ICNs and mICNs in phosphate adsorption, while cations display a promoting effect. More importantly, high concentrations and molecular weights of natural organic matter can inhibit phosphate adsorption by ICNs and mICNs. Sodium hydroxide has high regeneration capability for ICNs and mICNs. Compared to ICNs with high crystallinity, those with low crystallinity are less likely to desorb. ICNs and mICNs can effectively manage municipal wastewater, eutrophic seawater, and eutrophic lakes. Adsorption of ICNs and mICNs saturated with phosphate can be used as fertilizers in agricultural production. Notably, mICNs and ICNs have positive and negative effects on microorganisms and aquatic organisms in soil. Finally, this study introduces the following: trends and prospects of machine learning-guided mICN design, novel methods for modified ICNs, mICN regeneration, development of mICNs with high adsorption capacity and selectivity for phosphate, investigation of competing ions in different water environments by mICNs, and trends and prospects of in-depth research on the adsorption mechanism of phosphate by weakly crystalline ferrihydrite. This comprehensive review can provide novel insights into the research on high-performance mICNs for phosphate management in the future.

Abstract
The carbonaceous materials have gained significant interest for the phosphorus species remediation and recovery in the last decade. Carbonaceous materials present many unique features, such as cost effective, availability, environmentally friendly, and high removal efficiency that make them a promising adsorbent. In this review, the recent application of carbonaceous materials including activated carbon (AC), graphene and graphene oxide (GO), lignin, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and gC3N4 for phosphate removal and recovery were comprehensively summarized. The kinetics and isotherm models, removal mechanisms, and effects of operating parameters are reported. The reusability, lifetime of carbonaceous materials, and impact of modification were also considered. The modified carbonaceous materials have significantly high phosphate adsorption capacity compared to unmodified adsorbents. Namely, MgO-functionalized lignin-based bio-charcoal exhibited a 906.8 mg g-1 of capacity as the highest one among other reviewed materials. The modification of carbonaceous materials with various elements has been presented to improve the surface functional groups, surface area and charge, and pore volume and size. Among these loaded elements, iron has been effectively used to provide a prospect for magnetic recovery of the adsorbent as well as increase phosphate adsorption. Furthermore, the phosphate recovery methods, phosphate removal efficiency of carbonaceous materials, the limitations, important gaps in the literature, and future studies to enhance applicability of carbonaceous materials in real scale are also discussed.

Abstract
As an essential element for life, phosphorus (P) is very important for organisms. However, excessive P in water and sediment can cause eutrophication, which poses a potential risk to drinking water safety and the sustainability of aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, effective phosphorus-control in water and sediment is the key strategy to control eutrophication. Iron-based materials exhibit high efficiency for P immobilization due to their strong affinity with P, low cost, easy availability, and environmentally friendliness. They are promising materials for controlling P in application. This work comprehensively summarizes the recent advances on P immobilization in water and sediment by different iron-based materials, including iron (hydr)oxides, iron salts, zero-valent iron and iron-loaded materials. This review is focused on the mechanism of the processes and how they are impacted by major influencing factors. The combination of iron-containing materials with other assisting materials is a good strategy to enhance P-fixation efficiency and selectivity. Finally, the current challenges and prospects of P-control technologies based on iron-containing materials are proposed. This review provides a systemic theoretical and experimental foundation for P-immobilization in water and sediment using iron-based materials.

Abstract
Traditional chemical precipitation of phosphates from wastewater is somewhat inefficient because it produces some ultrafine hydroxyapatite particles that are difficult to settle. In this study, magnetic seeds with a core-shell structure were prepared by sulfation roasting for magnetic flocculation of those fine particles. Zeta potential measurements show that the hydroxyapatite particles are positively charged at pH 10, whereas the magnetic seeds are negatively charged. The Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek calculation indicates that the van der Waals force between the magnetic seeds and hydroxyapatite particles is always attractive. Moreover, the electrostatic attraction also contributes to aggregation of the magnetic seeds and hydroxyapatite particles. Orthogonal experiments show that the main factor affecting the magnetic flocculation is the dosage of magnetic seeds, and polymeric ferric sulfate also plays an important role. Under the optimal magnetic flocculation experimental conditions, the turbidity of wastewater after magnetic separation was only 16.388 NTU, contributing to the removal of phosphate contaminants. Therefore, magnetic flocculation and magnetic separation may provide an alternative solution for efficient purification of phosphate-containing wastewater.

Abstract
Mesoporous α-iron oxide@graphitized-carbon nitride nanocomposites (α-Fe2O3@g-C3N4-NCs) were synthesized using urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins at 400 °C/2 h. The mesoporous nature of the prepared nanocomposites was observed from electron microscopy and surface area measurements. The electrochemical measurements show the bifunctional nature of mesoporous α-Fe2O3@g-C3N4-NCs in electrolysis of water for oxygen evolution and oxygen reduction reactions (OER/ORR) using 0.5 M KOH. Higher current density of mesoporous α-Fe2O3@g-C3N4-NCs reveals the enhanced electrochemical performance compared to pure Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs). The onset potential, over-potential and Tafel slopes of mesoporous α-Fe2O3@g-C3N4-NCs were found lower than that of pure α-Fe2O3-NPs. Rotating disc electrode experiments followed by the K-L equation were used to investigate 4e- redox system. Therefore, the mesoporous α-Fe2O3@g-C3N4-NCs bifunctional electro-catalysts can be considered as potential future low-cost alternatives for Pt/C catalysts, which are currently used in fuel cells.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has unprecedentedly revolutionized human societies over the past decades and will continue to advance our broad societal goals in the coming decades. The research, development, and particularly the application of engineered nanomaterials have shifted the focus from "less efficient" single-component nanomaterials toward "superior-performance", next-generation multifunctional nanohybrids. Carbon nanomaterials (e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene family nanomaterials, carbon dots, and graphitic carbon nitride) and metal/metal oxide nanoparticles (e.g., Ag, Au, CdS, Cu2O, MoS2, TiO2, and ZnO) combinations are the most commonly pursued nanohybrids (carbon-metal nanohybrids; CMNHs), which exhibit appealing properties and promising multifunctionalities for addressing multiple complex challenges faced by humanity at the critical energy-water-environment (EWE) nexus. In this frontier review, we first highlight the altered and newly emerging properties (e.g., electronic and optical attributes, particle size, shape, morphology, crystallinity, dimensionality, carbon/metal ratio, and hybridization mode) of CMNHs that are distinct from those of their parent component materials. We then illustrate how these important newly emerging properties and functions of CMNHs direct their performances at the EWE nexus including energy harvesting (e.g., H2O splitting and CO2 conversion), water treatment (e.g., contaminant removal and membrane technology), and environmental sensing and in situ nanoremediation. This review concludes with identifications of critical knowledge gaps and future research directions for maximizing the benefits of next-generation multifunctional CMNHs at the EWE nexus and beyond.
