Abstract
To address the issue of toxic cadmium pollution and meet the need for rapid separation from water body, a magnetic bio-composite material, marked as CFeMg, was prepared via a facile method. It explicitly includes components of cellulose nanofiber (CNF), Fe3O4 and Mg (OH)2. The microstructures and morphology were characterized and analyzed using XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and TEM. CNF was chemically coupled by Fe3O4, which together constructed the overall layered structure. Between layers were Mg(OH)2 flakes attached. While dealing with Cd2+, qmax of the best sample reached 361.5 mg g-1 with high adsorption efficiency. The roles of three components were explored and the adsorption mechanism was proposed. Assisted by magnetic CNF, it only took 3 min to efficiently and completely salvage the spent CFeMg sample from water after adsorption. Due to its high adsorption capacity and facile recovery performance, the prepared composite has promising application as water treatment.

Zhang Y, Huang S, Mei B, Tian X, Jia L, Sun N. Magnetite/β-cyclodextrin/fly ash composite as an effective and recyclable adsorbent for uranium(VI) capture from wastewater. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 331:138750. [PMID: 37105305 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
As a novel adsorbent for the separation of uranium(VI) from wastewater, Magnetite/β-cyclodextrin/fly ash composite (Fe3O4/β-CD/FA) was first prepared via a chemical coprecipitation technology. The characterization results indicated that Fe3O4 and β-CD had been successfully loaded on FA, which had brought abundant oxygen-containing functional groups, providing numerous adsorptive sites for the removal of uranium(VI). At pH = 5.0 and T = 25 °C, the maximum uranium(VI) removal efficiency and capacity of Fe3O4/β-CD/FA were higher to 97.8% and 444.4 mg g-1, respectively. Pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models fitted better with the experimental data, illustrating that chemical adsorption dominated the uranium(VI) removal process. In addition, Fe3O4/β-CD/FA showed good anti-interference ability and recoverability. After five cycles, the removal rate of uranium(VI) on Fe3O4/β-CD/FA was still higher to 90.4%. The immobilization of uranium(VI) on Fe3O4/β-CD/FA was mainly ascribed to the synergism of redox reaction, complex reaction, chemical reaction and electrostatic interaction. Given the above, Fe3O4/β-CD/FA would be regarded as an efficacious, green and promising adsorbent for uranium(VI) separation from wastewater.

Abstract
Organic dyes and heavy metals often coexist in industrial effluents, and their simultaneous removal is a grand challenge. Herein, a hydrochar and MgAl layered double hydroxide (HC-MgAlLDH) nanocomposite was prepared via a facile one-step hydrothermal route, and applied to remove anionic Congo red (CR), cationic Methylene blue (MB) and Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. The nanocomposite was formed by interweaving amorphous HC and crystalline MgAlLDH nanoplates and possessed more functional groups, lower zeta potential and larger specific surface area than uncomposited MgAlLDH. Batch removal experiments showed that the components HC and LDH dominated the CR and MB removals, respectively, whereas Pb(II) removal was conjointly controlled by the two components. The maximum Langmuir removal capacities of the nanocomposite to sole CR, MB, or Pb(II) were 348.78, 256.54 or 33.55 mg/g. In binary and ternary systems, the removal capacities of CR and MB only slightly decreased, while the capacity of Pb(II) increased by 41.13-88.61%. The increase was related to the coordination of Pb(II) with the sulfur-containing groups in dyes and the precipitation of PbSO4. Therefore, the simultaneous removal of CR, MB and Pb(II) was involved in a synergistic effect, including electrostatic adsorption, π-π interaction, coordination and precipitation. The present work shows that the HC-MgAlLDH nanocomposite has great potential for wastewater integrative treatment.

Abstract
A major challenge for radioactive wastewater treatment and associated environmental remediation is how to simultaneously remove cationic and anionic radionuclides. Herein, a series of Mn3O4@polyaniline (Mn3O4@PANI) nanocomposites were successfully prepared and used to remove U(VI) and I- from aqueous solution, two highly concomitant species in nuclear pollution settings. Batch adsorption experiments reveal that the component Mn3O4 is predominantly responsible for U(VI) removal, but PANI for I-. The nanocomposite with 24.2 wt% Mn3O4 possesses high removal percentages (> 85%) either for U(VI) or I- over a wide pH range, fast removal kinetics, and excellent adsorption selectivity at high concentrations of competing ions. Benefiting from the contributions of the two components and the high adsorption affinities, the nanocomposite achieves the simultaneous removal to coexisting U(VI) and I-, with a maximum adsorption capacity 102.6 mg/g for U(VI) and 126.1 mg/g for I-. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results reveal that the U(VI) adsorption occurs via coordination bonding with Mn-O, -NH- , and =N- groups in the nanocomposite, whereas I- adsorption proceeds mainly through I anionic species exchange with Cl- and interactions with π-bonds in PANI, as well as the electrostatic attraction onto Mn3O4. Considering the excellent performance and multiple active sites, the Mn3O4@PANI nanocomposite is promising to remove practical radioactive U(VI) and I-.
