JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 470:134244. [PMID: 38598879 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
Spirulina platensis can secrete extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) helping to protect damage from stress environment, such as cadmium (Cd2+) exposure. However, the responding mechanism of S. platensis and the secreted EPS to exposure of Cd2+ is still unclear. This research focuses on the effects of Cd2+ on the composition and structure of the EPS and the response mechanism of EPS secretion from S. platensis for Cd2+ exposure. S. platensis can produce 261.37 mg·g-1 EPS when exposing to 20 mg·L-1 CdCl2, which was 2.5 times higher than the control group. The S. platensis EPS with and without Cd2+ treatment presented similar and stable irregularly fibrous structure. The monosaccharides composition of EPS in Cd2+ treated group are similar with control group but with different monosaccharides molar ratios, especially for Rha, Gal, Glc and Glc-UA. And the Cd2+ treatment resulted in a remarkable decline of humic acid and fulvic acid content. The antioxidant ability of S. platensis EPS increased significantly when exposed to 20 mg·L-1 CdCl2, which could be helpful for S. platensis protecting damage from high concentration of Cd2+. The transcriptome analysis showed that sulfur related metabolic pathways were up-regulated significantly, which promoted the synthesis of sulfur-containing amino acids and the secretion of large amounts of EPS.

MIL-53(Al)@HC nanohybrid for bicomponent adsorption of ibuprofen and metsulfuron-methyl: Application of macro- and microscopic models and competition between contaminants. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 240:117492. [PMID: 37944690 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117492] [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: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
In this work, a hybrid was synthesized by hydrothermal treatment, metal-organic framework functionalized with hydrochar (MIL-53(Al)@HC) for the adsorption of two organic molecules Ibuprofen sodium salt and Metsulfuron-methyl, in binary system. The hybrid is composed of 71 wt% biomass and 29 wt% MOF. TGA, BET, FTIR, XRD and XPS characterization techniques were used to verify the hybridization of MIL-53(Al)@HC. The MIL-53(Al)@HC hybrid showed in situ MIL-53(Al) crystal growth capability. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to study the effect of pH, adsorbent dosage, adsorbate concentration, contact time and temperature effect. The results obtained under extreme conditions demonstrate that MIL-53(Al)@HC is an adsorbent capable of removing >98% of IBU and MTM in mixture at a concentration of 0.3 mM (68 ppm IBU and 115 ppm MTM). The pseudo-second order model adequately described the adsorption kinetics and equilibrium using the Sips and Freundlich models. The physico-statistical microscopic model (2-layer) corroborated the hypothesis of a multilayer adsorption proposed by the macroscopic Freundlich model. In the competition study between IBU and MTM, both antagonistic and synergistic effects were observed. In the thermodynamic study, positive values of (ΔH°) indicate that adsorption is endothermic in nature and that the dominant mechanism is physisorption. A mechanism of adsorption by hydrogen bridging and non-covalent π*-π adsorbate-adsorbate and adsorbate-adsorbate-adsorbate interactions was proposed. The desorption study shows that in 5 washing cycles MIL-53(Al)@HC is a recoverable material.

Abstract
Polyacrylamide (PAM) is one of the most important water-soluble polymers that has been extensively applied in water treatment, drug delivery, and flexible electronic devices. The basic properties, e.g., microstructure, nanomechanics, and solubility, are deeply involved in the performance of PAM materials. Current research has paid more attention to the development and expansion of the macroscopic properties of PAM materials, and the study of the mechanism involved with the roles of water and ions on the properties of PAM is insufficient, especially for the behaviors of neutral amide side groups. In this study, single molecule force spectroscopy was combined with molecular dynamic (MD) simulations, atomic force microscope imaging, and dynamic light scattering to investigate the effects of monovalent ions on the nanomechanics and molecular conformations of neutral PAM (NPAM). These results show that the single-molecule elasticity and conformation of NPAM exhibit huge variation in different monovalent salt solutions. NPAM adopts an extended conformation in aqueous solutions of strong hydrated ion (acetate), while transforms into a collapse globule in the existence of weakly hydrated ion (SCN-). It is believed that the competition between intramolecular and intermolecular weak interactions plays a key role to adjust the molecular conformation and elasticity of NPAM. The competition can be largely influenced by the type of monovalent ions through hydration or a chaotropic effect. Methods utilized in this study provide a means to better understand the Hofmeister effect of ions on other macromolecules containing amide groups at the single-molecule level.

[PMID: 37124024 PMCID: PMC10140672 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra01660a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/02/2023] Open
Abstract
The ecosystem and human health are both significantly affected by the occurrence of potentially harmful heavy metals in the aquatic environment. In general, wastewater comprises an array of heavy metals, and the existence of other competing heavy metal ions might affect the adsorptive elimination of one heavy metal ion. Therefore, to fully comprehend the adsorbent's efficiency and practical applications, the abatement of heavy metals in multicomponent systems is important. In the current study, the multicomponent adsorption of heavy metals from different complex mixtures, such as binary, ternary, quaternary, and quinary solutions, utilizing various adsorbents are reviewed in detail. According to the systematic review, the adsorbents made from locally and naturally occurring materials, such as biomass, feedstocks, and industrial and agricultural waste, are effective and promising in removing heavy metals from complex water systems. The systematic study further discovered that numerous studies evaluate the adsorption characteristics of an adsorbent in a multicomponent system using various important independent adsorption parameters. These independent adsorption parameters include reaction time, solution pH, agitation speed, adsorbent dosage, initial metal ion concentration, ionic strength as well as reaction temperature, which were found to significantly affect the multicomponent sorption of heavy metals. Furthermore, through the application of the multicomponent adsorption isotherms, the competitive heavy metals sorption mechanisms were identified and characterized by three primary kinds of interactive effects including synergism, antagonism, and non-interaction. Despite the enormous amount of research and extensive data on the capability of different adsorbents, several significant drawbacks hinder adsorbents from being used practically and economically to remove heavy metal ions from multicomponent systems. As a result, the current systematic review provides insights and perspectives for further studies through the thorough and reliable analysis of the relevant literature on heavy metals removal from multicomponent systems.

Abstract
Nano Fe(III) oxide (FO) was used as an amendment material in CO2-assisted pyrolysis of spent coffee grounds (SCG) and its impacts on the syngas (H2 & CO) generation and biochar adsorptive properties were investigated. Amendment of FO led to 153 and 682% increase of H2 and CO in pyrolytic process of SCG, respectively, which is deemed to arise from enhanced thermal cracking of hydrocarbons and oxygen transfer reaction mediated by FO. Incorporation of FO successfully created porous structure in the produced biochar. The adsorption tests revealed that the biochar exhibited bi-functional capability to remove both positively charged Cd(II) and Ni(II), and negatively charged Sb(V). The adsorption of Cd(II) and Ni(II) was hardly deteriorated in the multiple adsorption cycles, and the adsorption of Sb(V) was further enhanced through formation of surface ternary complexes. The overall results demonstrated nano Fe(III) oxide is a promising amendment material in CO2-assisted pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass for enhancing syngas generation and producing functional biochar.

Removal and concurrent reduction of Cr(VI) by thermoacidophilic Cyanidiales: a novel extreme biomaterial enlightened for acidic and neutral conditions. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 445:130334. [PMID: 36462243 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.130334] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Thermoacidophilic Cyanidiales maintain a competitive edge in inhabiting extreme environments enriched with metals. Here, species of Cyanidioschyzon merolae (Cm), Cyanidium caldarium (Cc), and Galdieria partita (Gp) were exploited to remove hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)]. Cm and Gp could remove 168.1 and 93.7 mg g-1 of Cr(VI) at pH 2.0 and 7.0, respectively, wherein 89% and 62% of sorbed Cr on Cm and Gp occurred as trivalent chromium [Cr(III)]. Apart from surface-sorbed Cr(VI), the in vitro Cr(III) bound with polysaccharide and in vivo chromium(III) hydroxide [Cr(OH)3] attested to the reduction capability of Cyanidiales. The distribution of Cr species varied as a function of sorbed Cr amount, yet a relatively consistent proportion of Cr(OH)3, irrespective of Cr sorption capacity, was found only on Cm and Cc at pH 2.0. In conjunction with TXM (transmission X-ray microscopy) images that showed less impaired cell integrity and possible intracellular Cr distribution on Cm and Cc at pH 2.0, the in vivo Cr(OH)3 might be the key to promoting the Cr sorption capacity (≥ 152 mg g-1). Cyanidiales are promising candidates for the green and sustainable remediation of Cr(VI) due to their great removal capacity, the spontaneous reduction under oxic conditions, and in vivo accumulation.

Competitive Cation Adsorption on Electron-Irradiated Sheep Wool Changes the Fitting of Adsorption Isotherms for Single-Component Solutions. Processes (Basel) 2023.

Abstract
This work analyses 10 adsorption isotherm models applied to adsorption of Cr(III) and Cu(II) from binary solutions on electron-irradiated sheep wool (0-24-100) kGy. The results are compared with fitting the same adsorbates from corresponding single solutions. The competing cation significantly changes the fitting of the selected isotherms to the extent that even simultaneous fitting of the same cation in the single and binary solution is rare. In the case of Cr(III), 4 favourable matches were found out of 30 compared cases, while in the case of Cu(II), only 2 conformities were found. Having the Cr(III) coordination number exclusively of 6, but Cu(II) up to 4, 5, 6, the last coordinates more easily with the ligands provided by keratin, resulting in preferential chemisorption. If there is still a lack of cysteic acid in the wool to interact with Cr(III) also, this is adsorbed on the wool physically, too. The amount of cysteic acid increasing in the wool with the absorbed dose of energy improves the chemisorption of Cr(III), as well. It can be summarized that during competitive adsorption, Cu(II) binds by chemisorption and Cr(III) by both physisorption and chemisorption, depending on the dose of energy absorbed by the wool.

Abstract
In this study, by using a sol-gel grafting-atmospheric drying method, amino-terminated SiO2-Al2O3 composite aerogels, namely 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) or 3-(2-amino-ethoxy) propylmethyldimethoxysilane (AEAPMDS) modified SiO2-Al2O3 aerogels (AMSAAs), were synthesized from the fly ash and characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy etc.. And the AMSAAs were verified as excellent adsorbents for removing heavy metal ions (Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions) from wastewater. The effects of modification conditions and testing parameters including pH value, adsorbent dose, initial ions concentration, adsorption time and temperature were systematically investigated. Results demonstrated that 0.2 mol/L APTES modified aerogels (0.2APTES-SAAs) possessed the best adsorption properties. Under the optimal pH value of 4.0-6.0 and the adsorbent dose of 0.4-0.6 g/L, the equilibrium adsorption capacities of Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions were as high as 195 mg/g and 500 mg/g within 20-30 min, respectively. The adsorption processes were agreed fairly well with Freundlich isotherm adsorption model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, which indicated that the adsorption processes were heterogeneous multilayer adsorption and controlled by the chemical reaction between AMSAAs and heavy metal ions. The obtained adsorption thermodynamic parameters (ΔH°, ΔS° and ΔG°) revealed that the adsorption processes were exothermic and spontaneous with decreased randomness at the solid-liquid interface. The excellent recyclability of as-prepared AMSAAs proved as economically promising adsorbents for practical applications.

Abstract
Rare earth elements such as neodymium (Nd) are important elements used mainly in developing new technologies. Although they are found in low concentrations in nature, they can be obtained by extracting solid samples such as phosphogypsum. Among the techniques, adsorption has been used successfully with several adsorbent materials. In this work, two strains of Spirulina platensis (LEB-18 and LEB-52) were employed as biosorbents for efficiently removing the Nd element from the aqueous media. Biosorption tests were carried out in a batch system, and the results of the biosorption kinetics showed that for both materials, the biosorption of Nd was better described by the Avrami model. Moreover, it could be considered that 80 min would be necessary to attain the equilibrium of Nd(III) using both biosorbents. The result of the biosorption isotherms showed that for both strains, the best-fitted model was the Liu model, having a maximum biosorption capacity of 72.5 mg g−1 for LEB-18 and 48.2 mg g−1 for LEB-52 at a temperature of 298 K. Thermodynamics of adsorption showed that for both LEB-18 and LEB-52 the process was favorable (∆G° < 0) and exothermic (∆H° −23.2 for LEB-18 and ∆H° −19.9 for LEB-52). Finally, both strains were suitable to uptake Nd, and the better result of LEB-18 could be attributed to the high amount of P and S groups in this biomass. Based on the results, a mechanism of electrostatic attraction of Nd3+ and phosphate and sulfate groups of both strains of Spirulina platensis was proposed.

Abstract
Sheep wool irradiated by an electron beam was tested for adsorption of Cr(III) and Cu(II) from binary solutions within the same concentration of each cation from 15 to 35 mmol·dm-3. The wool sorptivity examination was aimed at searching the effect of the dose absorbed by wool on simultaneous sorption of these cations due to surface and bulk changes. The partners affected each other under these conditions. In the whole concentration range, the sorptivity of nonirradiated wool (0 kGy) for Cu(II) fluctuated within the range of 14.5-20.7 mg·g-1, while sorptivity for Cr(III) ranged from 14.8 to 7.5 mg·g-1. However, sorptivity for Cu(II) was always superior to Cr(III). At a 24 kGy dose, the wool sorptivity for both cations decreased approximately by half and tended to converge, whereby at 20 mmol·dm-3, a slight predominance for Cr(III) was already observed. However, the sorptivity of 100 kGy dosed wool acquired a clear predominance for Cr(III) over Cu(II) in the entire concentration range, showing some leveling around 14.5 mg·g-1. Sorptivity for Cu(II) was suppressed and increased nonlinearly with concentrations from 1.7 to 10.2 mg·g-1. It was concluded that optimally dosed wool could provide a special adsorbent suitable to control preferential sorption of some cations from binary solutions.

Abstract
Effects of metal ion proprieties and the cell wall structure of green alga Neochloris oleoabundans were investigated on five strategically selected heavy metal ions, Pb(II), Hg(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Cu(II). The biosorption of these ions were energy-independent and spontaneous Langmuir adsorption. The adsorption capacities of Pb(II), Hg(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Cu(II) were determined to be 1.03, 0.91, 1.20, 0.65 and 1.23 mmol/g, respectively. Data suggest that peptide-containing molecules and non-cellulosic polysaccharides on cell wall were the primary sites of adsorption. Ion Pb(II) showed the strongest inhibitive effects on the adsorption of other metal ions on cells in binaries, corresponding to its large affinity to the biosorbents, which was next only to that of Cu(II). A linear relation was established for the first time between the adsorption capacity and the impact factor, which is defined in this paper as the electronegativity of a metal ion normalized by its atomic radius. In other words, adsorption capacity of N. oleoabundans biomass to the tested two-valence metal ions is proportional to the electronegativity and inversely proportional to the radius of the metal ions. Cell aggregation was caused by the addition of Cu(II), which exhibited distinctive adsorption behaviors than other metal ions.

Green Microalgae Scenedesmus Obliquus Utilization for the Adsorptive Removal of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) from Water Samples. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17103707. [PMID: 32466088 PMCID: PMC7277159 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17103707] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2020] [Revised: 05/08/2020] [Accepted: 05/21/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
In view of the valorisation of the green microalga Scenedesmus obliquus biomass, it was used for the biosorption of two nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, namely salicylic acid and ibuprofen, from water. Microalgae biomass was characterized, namely by the determination of the point of zero charge (pHPZC), by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis, simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). Kinetic and equilibrium batch experiments were carried out and results were found to fit the pseudo-second order equation and the Langmuir isotherm model, respectively. The Langmuir maximum capacity determined for salicylic acid (63 mg g−1) was larger than for ibuprofen (12 mg g−1), which was also verified for a commercial activated carbon used as reference (with capacities of 250 and 147 mg g−1, respectively). For both pharmaceuticals, the determination of thermodynamic parameters allowed us to infer that adsorption onto microalgae biomass was spontaneous, favourable and exothermic. Furthermore, based on the biomass characterization after adsorption and energy associated with the process, it was deduced that the removal of salicylic acid and ibuprofen by Scenedesmus obliquus biomass occurred by physical interaction.

Abstract
Chitosan film, Spirulina sp. film and its blend were developed as biosorbents to remove Cr6+ and Pb2+ ions from aqueous solutions. The kinetic study and the pH effect on biosorption efficiency were evaluated to comprehend the interactions between the ions and biosorbents. The characterization analyses pointed out that occurred interaction between both biomaterials, which resulted in structural alterations through the blend. The Spirulina sp. film exhibited the highest biosorption capacities for Cr6+ (43.2 mg g-1) and Pb2+ (35.6 mg g-1) ions, however, its physical integrity was not kept in acid medium. The blend film showed results slightly lower (35.8 mg g-1 for Cr6+ and 31.6 mg g-1 for Pb2+), but its physical integrity remained intact in all assays. Chitosan film presented the lower biosorption capacities (15.4 mg g-1 for Cr6+ and 20.9 mg g-1 for Pb2+). Elovich and pseudo-second order models were the most suitable to express the kinetic behaviors for Cr6+ and Pb2+, respectively. Therefore, chitosan/Spirulina sp. blend could be a green alternative for Cr6+ and Pb2+ removal, because this biosorbent showed high biosorption capacity obtained from Spirulina sp. and great physical integrity obtained of chitosan.

Abstract
The catalytic performance of Fe3O4/reduced graphene oxide (Fe3O4/rGO) nanocomposite makes it attractive for the removal of emerging pollutants from water, but the combination of its efficient adsorption and degradation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances has not been studied. Here we report the optimal granular Fe3O4/rGO with high thermal and acid resistance stability through controlling its self-assembly for the adsorption and degradation of sodium p-perfluorous nonenoxybenzene sulfonate (OBS) from water. The maximum adsorption capacity for OBS was calculated to be 362.4 μmol/g according to Langmuir fitting. Electrostatic, π-π and hydrogen bonding interactions were involved in OBS adsorption, and the quaternary N in Fe3O4/rGO was a key adsorption site. The efficiency of the utilization of free radicals generated in Fenton-like and persulfate (PS) systems increased with the increase of OBS adsorbed onto the Fe3O4/rGO, while the increase of OBS amount adsorbed on Fe3O4/rGO would casue a slow OBS removal in the adsorption-degradation process due to the slow adsorption process. The Fenton-like oxidation was more efficient for OBS removal than PS oxidation. The spent Fe3O4/rGO was able to be reused in the Fenton-like system at least ten times, while the OBS removal in the PS reaction system was reduced to 47.8 % after six reuse cycles.

Abstract
The inimical effects associated with heavy metals are serious concerns, particularly with respect to global health-related issues, because of their non-ecological characteristics and high toxicity. Current research in this area is focused on the synthesis of poly(acrylamide) grafted Cell@Fe3O4 nanocomposites via oxidative free radical copolymerization of the acrylamide monomer and its application for the removal of Pb(II). The hybrid material was analyzed using different analytical techniques, including thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. The efficacious impact of variable parameters, including contact time, pH, material dose, initial Pb(II) concentration, and the temperature, was investigated and optimized using both batch and artificial neural networks (ANN). Surface digestion of metal ions is exceedingly pH-dependent, and higher adsorption efficiencies and adsorption capacities of Pb(II) were acquired at a pH value of 5. The acquired equilibrium data were analyzed using different isotherm models, including Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Redlich-Peterson models. In this investigation, the best performance was obtained using the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacity of the material investigated via monolayer formation was determined to be 314.47 mg g-1 at 323 K, 239.74 mg g-1 at 313 K, and 100.79 mg g-1 at 303 K.
