[PMID: 37002614 DOI: 10.1080/09593330.2023.2198732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
In this work, an agar-graphene oxide hydrogel was prepared to adsorb Cd (II) and Methyl Violet (MV) from water. The hydrogel was synthesised and characterised through SEM and EDS. Kinetic, equilibrium and regeneration studies were carried out, in which Langmuir, Freundlich and Sips isotherm models were fitted to the equilibrium experimental data; and regarding the kinetics, studies were conducted by modelling experimental data considering both empirical and phenomenological models. SEM and EDS have shown the composite present a 3D-disordered porous microstructure and that it is mainly constituted of C and O. Sips model fitted well to Cd (II) (R2 = 0.968 and χ2 = 0.176) and MV (R2 = 0.993 and χ2 = 0.783). The qmax values for MV and Cd (II) were 76.65 and 11.70 mg.g-1, respectively. Pseudo-order models satisfactorily described Cd (II) and MV adsorption kinetics with R2 > 0.90. Regeneration experiments revealed an outstanding reuse capacity of the adsorbent after three cycles of adsorption-desorption for both Cd (II) and MV. This study evidences the possibility of a feasible adsorbent for Cd (II) and MV removal from water for successive cycles of use.

Biopolymer-based beads for the adsorptive removal of organic pollutants from wastewater: Current state and future perspectives. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 269:131759. [PMID: 38679272 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131759] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
Among biopolymer-based adsorbents, composites in the form of beads have shown promising results in terms of high adsorption capacity and ease of separation from the effluents. This review addresses the potential of biopolymer-based beads to remediate wastewaters polluted with emerging organic contaminants, for instance dyes, active pharmaceutical ingredients, pesticides, phenols, oils, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and polychlorinated biphenyls. High adsorption capacities up to 2541.76 mg g-1 for dyes, 392 mg g-1 for pesticides and phenols, 1890.3 mg g-1 for pharmaceuticals, and 537 g g-1 for oils and organic solvents have been reported. The review also attempted to convey to its readers the significance of wastewater treatment through adsorption by providing an overview on decontamination technologies of organic water contaminants. Various preparation methods of biopolymer-based gel beads and adsorption mechanisms involved in the process of decontamination have been summarized and analyzed. Therefore, we believe there is an urge to discuss the current state of the application of biopolymer-based gel beads for the adsorption of organic pollutants from wastewater and future perspectives in this regard since it is imperative to treat wastewater before releasing into freshwater bodies.

Nano‑selenium functionalized chitosan gel beads for Hg(II) removal from apple juice. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 261:129900. [PMID: 38316329 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129900] [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: 09/23/2023] [Revised: 01/07/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
The presence of potentially toxic elements and compounds poses threats to the quality and safety of fruit juices. Among these, Hg(II) is considered as one of the most poisonous heavy metals to human health. Traditional chitosan-based and selenide-based adsorbents face challenges such as poor adsorption capacity and inconvenient separation in juice applications. In this study, we prepared nano‑selenium functionalized chitosan gel beads (nanoSe@CBs) and illustrated the synergistic promotions between chitosan and nanoSe in removing Hg(II) from apple juice. The preparation conditions, adsorption behaviors, and adsorption mechanism of nanoSe@CBs were systematically investigated. The results revealed that the adsorption process was primarily controlled by chemical adsorption. At the 0.1 % dosage, the adsorbent exhibited high uptake, and the maximum adsorption capacity from the Langmuir isotherm model could reach 376.5 mg/g at room temperature. The adsorbent maintained high adsorption efficiency (> 90 %) across a wide range of Hg(II) concentrations (0.01 to 10 mg/L) and was unaffected by organic acids present in apple juice. Additionally, nanoSe@CBs showed negligible effects on the quality of apple juice. Overall, nanoSe@CBs open up possibilities to be used as a safe, low-cost and highly-efficient adsorbent for the removal of Hg(II) from juices and other liquid foods.

Chitosan-Based Beads Incorporating Inorganic-Organic Composites for Copper Ion Retention in Aqueous Solutions. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:2411. [PMID: 38397088 PMCID: PMC10889537 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25042411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
In recent years, there has been a challenging interest in developing low-cost biopolymeric materials for wastewater treatment. In the present work, new adsorbents, based on different types of chitosan (commercial, commercial chitin-derived chitosan and chitosan synthesized from shrimp shell waste) and inorganic-organic composites have been evaluated for copper ions removal. The efficacy of the synthesis of chitosan-based composite beads has been determined by studying various characteristics using several techniques, including FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, porosimetry (N2 adsorption), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Adsorption kinetics was performed using different adsorption models to determine the adsorption behavior of the materials in the aqueous media. For all composite beads, regardless of the type of chitosan used, good capacity to remove copper ions from simulated waters was observed (up to 17 mg/g), which proves that the new materials hold potential for heavy metal retention. However, the adsorption efficiency was influenced by the type of chitosan used. Thus, for the series where commercial chitosan (CC) was used, the removal efficiency was approximately 29%; for the series with chitosan obtained from commercial chitin (SC), the removal efficiency was approximately 34%; for the series with chitosan enriched with CaCO3 (SH), the removal efficiency was approximately 52%.

Recent advances in cellulose-based sustainable materials for wastewater treatment: An overview. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:128517. [PMID: 38040157 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128517] [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: 11/11/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023]
Abstract
Water pollution presents a significant challenge, impacting ecosystems and human health. The necessity for solutions to address water pollution arises from the critical need to preserve and protect the quality of water resources. Effective solutions are crucial to safeguarding ecosystems, human health, and ensuring sustainable access to clean water for current and future generations. Generally, cellulose and its derivatives are considered potential substrates for wastewater treatment. The various cellulose processing methods including acid, alkali, organic & inorganic components treatment, chemical treatment and spinning methods are highlighted. Additionally, we reviewed effective use of the cellulose derivatives (CD), including cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), cellulose nano-fibrils (CNFs), CNPs, and bacterial nano-cellulose (BNC) on waste water (WW) treatment. The various cellulose processing methods, including spinning, mechanical, chemical, and biological approaches are also highlighted. Additionally, cellulose-based materials, including adsorbents, membranes and hydrogels are critically discussed. The review also highlighted the mechanism of adsorption, kinetics, thermodynamics, and sorption isotherm studies of adsorbents. The review concluded that the cellulose-derived materials are effective substrates for removing heavy metals, dyes, pathogenic microorganisms, and other pollutants from WW. Similarly, cellulose based materials are used for flocculants and water filtration membranes. Cellulose composites are widely used in the separation of oil and water emulsions as well as in removing dyes from wastewater. Cellulose's natural hydrophilicity makes it easier for it to interact with water molecules, making it appropriate for use in water treatment processes. Furthermore, the materials derived from cellulose have wider application in WW treatment due to their inexhaustible sources, low energy consumption, cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and renewable nature.

Enhanced removal of short- and long-chain per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances from aqueous phase using crushed grafted chitosan beads: Performance and mechanisms. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 340:122836. [PMID: 37925012 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122836] [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: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 10/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023]
Abstract
The widespread use of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), environmentally persistent halogenated hydrocarbons, in various industrial and commercial applications has caused significant concerns owing to their contamination of soil and groundwater. Chitosan is a biopolymer substance with abundant amine and hydroxyl functional groups, making it a good candidate for adsorption of PFASs. This study aimed to increase chitosan's adsorption capacity by grafting additional amine functional groups on its surface for the removal of long- and short-chain PFASs from an aqueous phase. Two types of chitosan-based sorbents were developed: crushed chitosan beads (CBs) and polyethyleneimine-grafted CBs (GCBs). Batch adsorption tests assessed the adsorption capacities of the sorbents in terms of the sorption kinetics, isotherms, selectivity, and reusability. Based on the results, the GCBs had significant potential for adsorbing PFASs. These capacities were significantly higher than those demonstrated by the CBs. The sorption kinetics data revealed that the GCBs had a fast sorption rate. Furthermore, the GCBs demonstrated a high adsorption affinity, with log Kd values ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 for PFASs at environmentally relevant concentrations (1000 ng L-1). They also demonstrated excellent selectivity sorption for these compounds, even in the presence of other organic and inorganic pollutants.

Abstract
In the process of removing dye wastewater, the membrane surface is susceptible to contamination, resulting in reduced performance and limited dye separation efficiency. A single hydrophilic modification layer is not enough to achieve effective separation of different types of dyes. The present research designed a "double layer protection" method in order to overcome the above deficiencies. A solution of dopamine (DA) coated carbon nanotubes (CNTs-COOH) was covered on the surface of the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane by deposition, followed by grafting a layer of chitosan (CS) polymer brushes on its surface. The spatial double layer structure provides an excellent barrier effect and effectively reduces the contamination of dyes. When filtering different types of dyes, effective filtration of anionic and cationic dyes through the electrostatic effect of the first layer, the adsorption of CNTs in the second layer and the hydration layer of both layers. All membranes have excellent rejection properties. More importantly, the membranes also had good chemical and mechanical stability and their serviceability was not degraded. Therefore, the prepared PVDF-based multi-layer composite membranes behave a potential application prospect in the wastewater purification field.

Abstract
Polysaccharides have emerged as a promising material for hydrogel preparation due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low cost. This review focuses on polysaccharide-based hydrogels' synthesis, characterization, and applications. The various synthetic methods used to prepare polysaccharide-based hydrogels are discussed. The characterization techniques are also highlighted to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of polysaccharide-based hydrogels. Finally, the applications of SAPs in various fields are discussed, along with their potential benefits and limitations. Due to environmental concerns, this review shows a growing interest in developing bio-sourced hydrogels made from natural materials such as polysaccharides. SAPs have many beneficial properties, including good mechanical and morphological properties, thermal stability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, abundance, economic viability, and good swelling ability. However, some challenges remain to be overcome, such as limiting the formulation complexity of some SAPs and establishing a general protocol for calculating their water absorption and retention capacity. Furthermore, the development of SAPs requires a multidisciplinary approach and research should focus on improving their synthesis, modification, and characterization as well as exploring their potential applications. Biocompatibility, biodegradation, and the regulatory approval pathway of SAPs should be carefully evaluated to ensure their safety and efficacy.

Sorption behavior of chitosan nanoparticles for single and binary removal of cationic and anionic dyes from aqueous solution. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023:10.1007/s11356-023-27907-0. [PMID: 37284953 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-27907-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2022] [Accepted: 05/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
In this study, chitosan nanoparticles (ChNs) were used as an adsorbent for single and simultaneous uptake of cationic (methylene blue (MB)) and anionic (methyl orange (MO)) dyes. ChNs were prepared based on the ionic gelation method using sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) and characterized by zetasizer, FTIR, BET, SEM, XRD, and pHPZC. The studied parameters that affect removal efficiency included pH, time, and dyes' concentration. The results showed that in single-adsorption mode, the removal of MB is better in alkaline pH, contrary to MO uptake which presents higher removal efficiency in acidic media. The simultaneous removal of MB and MO from the mixture solution by ChNs could be achieved under neutral conditions. The adsorption kinetic results showed that adsorption of MB and MO for both single-adsorption and binary adsorption systems comply with the pseudo-second-order model. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Redlich-Peterson isotherms were used for the mathematical description of single-adsorption equilibrium, while non-modified Langmuir and extended Freundlich isotherms were used to fit the co-adsorption equilibrium results. The maximum adsorption capacities of MB and MO in a single dye adsorption system were 315.01 and 257.05 mg/g for MB and MO, respectively. On the other hand, and for binary adsorption system, the adsorption capacities were 49.05 and 137.03 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption capacity of MB decreases in solution containing MO and vice versa, suggesting an antagonistic behavior of MB and MO on ChNs. Overall, ChNs could be a candidate for single and binary removal of MB and MO in dye-containing wastewater.

Application of Box-Behnken Design to Optimize Phosphate Adsorption Conditions from Water onto Novel Adsorbent CS-ZL/ZrO/Fe 3O 4: Characterization, Equilibrium, Isotherm, Kinetic, and Desorption Studies. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24119754.

Abstract
Phosphate (PO43-) is an essential nutrient in agriculture; however, it is hazardous to the environment if discharged in excess as in wastewater discharge and runoff from agriculture. Moreover, the stability of chitosan under acidic conditions remains a concern. To address these problems, CS-ZL/ZrO/Fe3O4 was synthesized using a crosslinking method as a novel adsorbent for the removal of phosphate (PO43-) from water and to increase the stability of chitosan. The response surface methodology (RSM) with a Box-Behnken design (BBD)-based analysis of variance (ANOVA) was implemented. The ANOVA results clearly showed that the adsorption of PO43- onto CS-ZL/ZrO/Fe3O4 was significant (p ≤ 0.05), with good mechanical stability. pH, dosage, and time were the three most important factors for the removal of PO43-. Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models generated the best equivalents for PO43- adsorption. The presence of coexisting ions for PO43- removal was also studied. The results indicated no significant effect on PO43- removal (p ≤ 0.05). After adsorption, PO43- was easily released by 1 M NaOH, reaching 95.77% and exhibiting a good capability over three cycles. Thus, this concept is effective for increasing the stability of chitosan and is an alternative adsorbent for the removal of PO43- from water.

Abstract
The highly poisonous, non-biodegradable heavy metals present serious concern in wastewater environmental sustainability and human health. Using adsorption is an effective technology for the treatment of this kind of water. Therefore, developing efficient and cost-effective adsorbents considers a significant and an emerging topic in the field the water purification. Chitosan grafted polyacrylonitrile (Cs-g-PAN) was facially fabricated via graft polymerization using ammonium persulfate (APS) as the initiator. The simple ultrasonic technique was used for doping ZnO nanoparticles into the Cs-g-PAN matrix to prepare chitosan-grafted polyacrylonitrile/ZnO (Cs-g-PAN/ZnO). For comparative study, pure ZnO and nanocomposite of PAN doped with ZnO (PAN/ZnO) were also prepared. XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, BET, EDS, and TGA measurements were conducted to confirm the morphological and structural properties of the prepared materials. Cs-g-PAN/ZnO possesses a specific surface area of 20.23 m2/g with a pore size of 31.58 nm and pore volume of 0.16 cm3 g-1. The adsorption behavior toward Fe(II) as a pollutant for groundwater was studied for the synthesized materials. The effect of pH (4-8), contact time (5-60 min), adsorbent dose (0.01-0.3 g), and different temperature degrees (278, 288, 298, 308, and 318 K) on the removal of iron (II) has been conducted. The removal efficiency was achieved 100 % under the optimum condition, at pH = 7, contact time 30 min, adsorbate concentration 0.93 mg/L, and adsorbent dosage 0.05 g/L at room temperature. Langmuir and Freundlich's isothermal and kinetic studies have been analyzed to determine the adsorption mechanism of Fe(II) ions on the synthesized nanomaterials. The adsorption process of Fe(II) over the surface of prepared catalysts proceeded via the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order reaction kinetics with R2 > 0.99. Suggesting the formation of Fe(II) monolayer over the adsorbent surface and the rate-limiting step is probably controlled by chemisorption through sharing the electrons between Fe+2 and the prepared catalyst.

Abstract
The aggressive search for unique materials in recent years has put forward chitosan and modified-chitosan as materials with unique structural and morphological characteristics for various important applications. Just as imidazolium-based ionic liquids are the commonly applied ionic liquids (ILs) type for chitosan modifications for various applications, their further modifications into beads for enhancing their properties is now gaining most attention. However, most of the currently prepared imidazolium ILs modified-chitosan beads are not in nano size due to preparation difficulties. In response to this and referencing the research works in the literature, the possible breakthrough directions including synthesis routes, and physical and mechanical transformation processes are proposed. These procedures are expected to provide certain theoretical and empirical basis, as well as technical guide for developing nano-micro size chitosan beads using imidazolium based ILs.

Abstract
Consumption of water and tea beverages leads to the intake of heavy metals by humans. Development of technology for decontamination greatly reduces the risks of the heavy metal exposure. In this study, environment-friendly chitosan-tartaric acid biosorbents (CTBs) were synthesized by a facile one-step cross-linking strategy to mitigate the Cu(II) and Cd(II) contamination in water and tea beverages. The cross linkage of tartaric acid and chitosan endowed CTBs with excellent properties in aspects of surface roughness, mechanical strength, and acid resistance. Adsorption performance and mechanism of CTBs were studied, and the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model were adhered during adsorption. Up to 90 % removal efficiencies of Cu(II) and Cd(II) from water and tea beverages by CTBs were achieved. Moreover, the adsorption showed only a slight reduction in the quality of tea beverages. This study offers a new insight for reduction of heavy metals-pollution in beverages.

Abstract
The water solubility in acid solution, relative low adsorption capacities and unsatisfactory separation performance limit application of traditional chitosan-based adsorbents in wastewater treatment. To break the limitation, a hydrophilic magnetic Fe3O4 embedded chitosan-crosslinked-polyacrylamide composites (abbreviated as m-CS-c-PAM) were prepared by a two-step method. The m-CS-c-PAM composites were systematically characterized using SEM, XRD, FTIR, VSM, TGA and BET. Sunset yellow (SY) was selected as model food dye to investigate adsorption kinetics and thermodynamic parameters of food dye adsorption onto m-CS-c-PAM. Compared with magnetic Fe3O4/chitosan, m-CS-c-PAM can adapt to a wider range of pH (2-10) and resist the presence of inorganic salts. m-CS-c-PAM was proved to have high adsorption capacity (359.71 mg g-1) for SY dye at 298 K, much higher than magnetic Fe3O4/chitosan and many reported adsorbents. Moreover, m-CS-c-PAM could be rapidly and efficiently separated from treated solution within 15 s by an external magnet and regenerated by NaOH solution. With its excellent adsorption capacity, pH-independent adsorption capability for food dye, easy and convenient separation ability, satisfactory reusability, m-CS-c-PAM can be a promising material for food wastewater treatment.

A magnetic MIL-125-NH 2@chitosan composite as a separable adsorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from wastewater. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 226:1054-1065. [PMID: 36436607 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.11.222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Revised: 11/20/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are gradually used since of their huge specific surface area and superior pore structure. However, there are problems such as easy aggregation and difficult separation in water treatment. In this study, we prepared composite microspheres (FMCS-1) by modifying MIL-125-NH2 with Fe3O4 and chitosan. The structural characterization and performance analysis of the materials showed that the introduction of chitosan effectively prevents the stacking of MOFs. The magnetic test manifested that Fe3O4 solved the problem of the difficult separation of MOFs from water. The removal potential of toxic Cr(VI) was tested by adsorption experiments. The isotherm model indicated that FMCS-1 is a single molecular layer adsorbent with a maximum adsorption capacity of 109.46 mg/g at pH = 2. The adsorption kinetics showed that the adsorption of Cr(VI) by FMCS-1 was chemical adsorption. The acid resistance test demonstrated that FMCS-1 can exist stably in acid solutions. The recycling experiments proved that the adsorbent can be reused and the removal percentage still reaches 50 % after 5 cycles. This work expands the application of MOFs in water treatment and also provides an effective adsorbent for Cr(VI) removal.

Abstract
Heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants are causing detrimental effects on the environment. The seepage of heavy metals through untreated industrial waste destroys the crops and lands. Moreover, incineration and combustion of several products are responsible for primary and secondary emissions of pollutants. This review has gathered the remediation strategies, current bioremediation technologies, and their primary use in both in situ and ex situ methods, followed by a detailed explanation for bioremediation over other techniques. However, an amalgam of bioremediation techniques and nanotechnology could be a breakthrough in cleaning the environment by degrading heavy metals and persistant organic pollutants.

Isotherm, Thermodynamics, and Kinetics of Methyl Orange Adsorption onto Magnetic Resin of Chitosan Microspheres. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232213839. [PMID: 36430316 PMCID: PMC9692306 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232213839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 11/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Severe environmental pollution problems arising from toxic dyestuffs (e.g., methyl orange) are receiving increasing attention. Therefore, dyes' safe removal has become a research hotspot. Among the many physical-chemical removal techniques, adsorption using renewable biological resources has proved to be more advantageous over others due to its effectiveness and economy. Chitosan is a natural, renewable biopolymer obtained by deactivated chitin. Thus, the magnetic resin of chitosan microspheres (MRCM), prepared by reversed-phase suspension cross-linking polymerization, was used to remove methyl orange from a solution in a batch adsorption system. The main results are as follows: (1) The results of physical and swelling properties of MRCM indicated that MRCM was a type of black spherical, porous, water-absorbing, and weak alkali exchange resin, and it had the ability to adsorb methyl orange when it was applied in solutions above pH 2.0. (2) In batch adsorption studies, the maximum adsorption capacity was obtained at pH 5; the adsorption equilibrium time was 140 min; and the maximum adsorption was reached at 450 mg/L initial concentration. (3) Among the three isotherm adsorption models, Langmuir achieved the best fit for the adsorption of methyl orange onto MRCM. (4) The adsorption thermodynamics indicated that the adsorption was spontaneous, with increasing enthalpy, and was driven by the entropy. (5) The pseudo-second-order kinetics equation was most suitable to describe the adsorption kinetics, and the adsorption kinetics was also controlled by the liquid-film diffusion dynamics. Consequently, MRCM with relatively higher methyl orange adsorption exhibited the great efficiency for methyl orange removal as an environment-friendly sorbent. Thus, the findings are useful for methyl orange pollution control in real-life wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract
In this work, a novel electrospun chitosan (CS)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibrous membrane was prepared to remove heavy metal ions and organic pollutants from water. The nanofiber morphologies were adjusted through the optimal electrospinning process parameters. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterizations indicated that a well-crosslinked CS/PVP/PVA nanofiber film was formed. Under the optimize conditions, the obtained CS/PVP/PVA nanofiber membranes exhibited porous and uniform nanofibrous structures with an average diameter of 160 nm and a pure water permeability of 4518.91 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1. In addition, the adsorption and separation performance of CS/PVP/PVA nanofiber membranes were evaluated with Cu(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) and Methylene Blue (MB), Malachite Green (MG) as target ions and dyes. The results showed that the retention rate of CS/PVP/PVA nanofiber membranes for Cu(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), MG and MB can reach 94.20%, 90.35%, 83.33%, 80.12%, 84.01% and 69.91%, respectively. The adsorption capacities of Cu(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), MG and MB were 34.79, 25.24, 18.07, 16.05, 17.86 and 13.27 mg g-1. The adsorption kinetics of heavy metal ions and dyes by the nanofiber membranes can be explained by the Langmuir isotherm model and represented by the pseudo-second-order kinetic mechanism that determined the spontaneous chemisorption process. This study provides a synthetic approach to membranes for the removal of organic and heavy metal micropollutants from water.

Abstract
Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) such as toxic metal (loid)s and other emerging hazardous contaminants, exist in the environment and poses a serious threat. A large amount of wastewater containing PTEs such as cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, arsenic, lead, zinc, etc. Release from industries during production process. Besides these, chemical-based fertilizers used in soils during crop production have become one of the crucial sources of PTEs. Various techniques are being employed for the mitigation of PTEs like chemical precipitation, ion exchange, coagulation, activated carbon, adsorption, membrane filtration, and bioremediation. Among these mitigation strategies, biological processes such as bioremediation, phytoremediation etc. Are extensively used, as they are economic have high-efficiency rate and are eco-friendly. This review intends to provide information on PTEs contamination through various sources; along with the toxicity of metal (loid)s with respect to their patterns of transmission and risks in the changing environment. Various remediation methods for the management of these pollutants along with their techno-economic perspective are also summarized in this review.

Abstract
A magnetic biocomposite blend of chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol/fly ash (m-Cs-PVA/FA) was developed by adding fly ash (FA) microparticles into the polymeric matrix of magnetic chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol (m-Cs-PVA). The effectiveness of m-Cs-PVA/FA as an adsorbent to remove textile dye (reactive orange 16, RO16) from aquatic environment was evaluated. The optimum adsorption key parameters and their significant interactions were determined by Box-Behnken Design (BBD). The analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicates the significant interactions can be observed between m-Cs-PVA/FA dose with solution pH, and m-Cs-PVA/FA dose with working temperature. Considering these significant interactions, the highest removal of RO16 (%) was found 90.3% at m-Cs-PVA/FA dose (0.06 g), solution pH (4), working temperature (30 °C), and contact time (17.5 min). The results of adsorption kinetics revealed that the RO16 adsorption was better described by the pseudo-second-order model. The results of adsorption isotherm indicated a multilayer adsorption process as well described by Freundlich model with maximum adsorption capacity of 123.8 mg/g at 30 °C. An external magnetic field can be easily applied to recover the adsorbent (m-Cs-PVA/FA). The results supported that the synthesized m-Cs-PVA/FA presents itself as an effective and promising adsorbent for textile dye with preferable adsorption capacity and separation ability during and after the adsorption process.

Abstract
Dye molecules are one of the most hazardous compounds for human and animal health and the excess intake of these materials can create toxic impacts. Several studies show the practicality of the adsorption process for dye uptake from wastewaters. In recent years, various adsorbents were used to be efficient in this process. Among all, polymeric adsorbents demonstrate great applicability in different environmental conditions and attract many researchers to work on them, although there is not enough reliable and precise information regarding these adsorbents. This study aims to investigate some influential parameters such as their type, physical properties, experimental conditions, their capacity, and further modeling along with a comparison with non-polymeric adsorbents. The influence of the main factors of adsorption capacity was studied and the dominant mechanism is explained extensively.

Abstract
In the traditional desorption method, strong acid is commonly used as an eluent for the regeneration of adsorbents. It is of critical economic and environmental significance to develop a chemical-free desorption method. In this study, a new CO2-responsive chitosan aerogel adsorbent was synthesized from CO2-responsive poly(acrylic acid-2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) and chitosan by physicochemical double crosslinking for the adsorption of Cu2+. Compared with the chitosan aerogel, the adsorption capacity of Cu2+ and mechanical properties of CO2-responsive chitosan aerogel increased by 162% and 660%, respectively. Most importantly, after the adsorption of Cu2+ by CO2-responsive chitosan aerogel, the Cu2+ could be desorbed by CO2 bubbling, and the desorption rate of metal ions was more than 80%. The adsorption of Cu2+ by aerogel was attributed to chelation and complexation. The desorption of porous chitosan/P(AA-co-DMAEMA) aerogels (CPA) by CO2 mainly occurred through charge repulsion of protonated ‒NH2 and ‒N‒ groups. After 6 cycles, the adsorption capacity of CPA for metal ions still reached 70% of the initial adsorption capacity, and the desorption rate reached 75%. This novel CO2-responsive chitosan aerogel is a highly efficient and environmentally friendly adsorbent for the adsorption and recovery of metal ions.

Abstract
A novel chitosan/grafted halloysitenanotubes@Znγmagnetite quaternary nanocomposite (Ch/g-HNTs@ZnγM) was fabricated using the chemical co-precipitation method to remove the ions of Cr (III), Fe (III), and Mn (II) from wastewater. The characteristics of the synthesized Ch/g-HNTs@ZnγM quaternary nanocomposite were investigated using FTIR, SEM, XRD, GPC, TGA, TEM, and surface zeta potential. The characterization analysis proved that the mentioned nanocomposite structure contains multiple functional groups with variable efficiencies. Additionally, they proved the existence of magnetic iron in the nanocomposite internal structure with the clarity of presentation of gaps and holes of high electron density on its surface. The results showed that the pH and time to reach an equilibrium system for all the studied metal ions were obtained at 9.0 and 60 min, respectively. The synthesized Ch/g-HNTs@ZnγM nanocomposite exhibited maximum adsorption removal of 95.2%, 99.06%, and 87.1% for Cr (III), Fe (III), and Mn (II) ions, respectively. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model and, for isotherm, the Langmuir model were best fitted with the experimental data. The thermodynamic parameters indicated the exothermic and spontaneous nature of the adsorption reaction as proven by the ΔH° and ΔG° values. Additionally, chemical adsorption by the coordination bond is supposed as the main mechanism of adsorption of the mentioned metal ions on the nanocomposite. Finally, Ch/g-HNTs@ZnγM displays prospected advantages, such as a low-expense adsorbent, high efficiency and availability, and an eco-friendly source, that will reduce the environmental load via an environmentally friendly method.

Abstract
In this study, a novel functional monomer N-(1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethyl)acrylamide (NDTEA) was designed and synthesized, and was used to prepare Ni(ii) ion-imprinted polymers (Ni(ii)-IIPs). Sixteen kinds of Ni(ii)-IIP (Ni(ii)-IIP1–16) and corresponding non-imprinted polymers (NIP1–16) were prepared by precipitation polymerization method. After optimized condition experiment, Ni(ii)-IIP5 possessed maximum adsorption capacity and better imprinting factor under optimal experimental conditions which indicated by equilibrium adsorption experiments. The morphology and structural characteristics of Ni(ii)-IIP5 were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). The adsorption selectivity of Ni(ii)-IIP5 was analyzed by ICP-OES, and the results showed that Ni(ii)-IIP5 had favorable selectivity recognition ability for Ni(ii) when Cu(ii), Co(ii), and Cd(ii) are used as competitive ions. The kinetic experiment indicated that the performance of Ni(ii) adsorption on the surface of Ni(ii)-IIP5 obeyed the pseudo-first-order model, and adsorption equilibrium was attained after 15 min. Isothermal adsorption process fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich isothermal adsorption models, simultaneously. The results showed that Ni(ii)-IIP5 prepared by using a new functional monomer had better permeation selectivity and higher affinity for Ni(ii), which also verified the rationality of the functional monomer design. At the same time, it also provided a broad application prospect for removal of Ni(ii) in complex samples.

Abstract
Environmental pollution by dyes molecules has become a subject of intensive research in recent years due to their hazardous effects on human health, organisms, and animals. Effective treatment and removal of dye molecules from the environmental matrices and water sources are of supreme concern. The deployment of cheap, safe, green, sustainable, and eco-friendly materials to remove these pollutants from water is the main challenge during the last decades. Chitosan and its derivatives/composites, as a cheap, easily available, and environmentally friendly sorbent, have attracted increasing attention for the removal of dye molecules. This review article focuses on the application of chitosan and chitosan-based smart adsorbents for the removal of dyes. Recent methods for the preparation of chitosan-based composites and their application in the removal of dyes are discussed. Moreover, the possible mechanisms for the interaction of chitosan and chitosan-based adsorbents with dyes molecules were evaluated. Finally, future prospects of using chitosan as an adsorbent for the removal of dye molecules are directed.

The preconcentration of metal ions present at low concentration levels in aqueous systems and the selective removal of potentially toxic metals are important applications of adsorption processes. In this study, a heptadentate dinucleating ligand was anchored to chitosan for use in adsorption studies on Zn(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions. The novel adsorbent was characterized by 13C NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy, TGA and BET surface area analysis. The degree of substitution of the ligand in chitosan, obtained from CHN analysis, was 0.73. The adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model. The rate constants and the adsorption capacities for multicomponent systems decreased in the order Cu(II) >> Ni(II) ∼ Zn(II), indicating the preferential adsorption of Cu(II). For Cu(II) ions, the Langmuir model provided the best fitting to the experimental data, and the monolayer Cu(II) adsorption capacity was 0.404 mmol g-1, while the linear isotherm described Zn(II) and Ni(II) ion adsorption.

Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin-polyurethane/graphene oxide magnetic nanoconjugates as effective adsorbent for chromium and lead ions. Carbohydr Polym 2021; 259:117731. [PMID: 33673994 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2021.117731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2020] [Revised: 01/26/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
In this work, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin-polyurethane magnetic nanoconjugates/reduced graphene oxide (HPMNPU/GO) supramolecules were prepared. The adsorbent was characterized using FTIR and SEM. The adsorbent was evaluated for its efficiency to remove Cr6+ and Pb2+ from aqueous solutions through batch adsorption studies following a Definitive Screening Design (DSD). Effects of solution pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial metal concentration, ionic strength, GO/NC ratio and temperature on Cr 6+ and Pb 2+ adsorption were investigated. Optimization of the adsorption process was done using a desirability function of the Design Expert V11 software. A good agreement between experimental and predicted data proved the efficiency of this model for prediction of real optimum point. The batch experiments implied that the pseudo-second-order model (lowest sum of square error (SSE) values and correlation coefficients (R2) > 0.999) was better to describe the adsorption kinetics of Cr6+ and Pb2+ onto the HPMNPU/GO.

3D porous tubular network-structured chitosan-based beads with multifunctional groups: Highly efficient and selective removal of Cu 2. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 171:17-27. [PMID: 33412196 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.12.184] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2020] [Revised: 12/22/2020] [Accepted: 12/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
Herein, an effective adsorbent, 3D porous tubular network-structured citric acid-chitosan/Fe/polyethyleneimine beads (CCFPB) with multifunctional active groups and strong selectivity, was prepared for the selective removal of Cu2+ from simulated wastewater. Compared with pure chitosan beads (CB), the adsorption capacity of CCFPB for Cu2+ was increased by 127 mg g-1 (238%), and the adsorption equilibrium time was shortened by 480 min. The CCFPB showed porous surface and a novel 3D porous tubular network structure in interior, which were benefit to the diffusion of Cu2+ from surface to interior of the CCFPB and the shortening of adsorption equilibrium time. The common coexisting ions in the simulated wastewater had almost no effect on the adsorption of Cu2+ by CCFPB, and the adsorption was fast and reached equilibrium within 10 h. The adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm model (qm = 240.9 mg g-1 for Cu2+). The adsorption mechanism of CCFPB for Cu2+ was mainly the synergistic interaction with amino, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups. This strategy shows great potential for developing a variety of novel, highly active, and reusable immobilized functional beads materials for effective separation of Cu2+ from multi-ion wastewater.

Selective removal of anionic and cationic dyes by magnetic Fe 3O 4-loaded amine-modified hydrochar. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2021; 320:124374. [PMID: 33176234 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2020.124374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2020] [Revised: 10/30/2020] [Accepted: 10/31/2020] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
Fe3O4-loaded protonated amine-modified hydrochar (Fe3O4-PAMH) was successfully prepared and characterized by scan electron microscopy equipped with energy-dispersion X-ray spectroscopy, zeta potential analysis, vibration sample magnetometry, Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurement, and X-ray diffraction. Adsorption properties of Fe3O4-PAMH to negatively-charged methyl orange (MO) or positively-charged methylene blue (MB) in one- or two-component systems were evaluated. The Fe3O4-PAMH selectively adsorbed MO and MB at pH 5 and 11, respectively. The maximum MO and MB uptake capacities of Fe3O4-AMHC were 202.02 mg/g (pH 5.0) and 148.84 mg/g (pH 11) respectively. The Fe3O4-PAMH can be reused with simple pH management in adsorption-desorption cycles. The MB and MO adsorption abilities on Fe3O4-PAMH were maintained above 99% and 75% for five consecutive recycles, respectively. Thus, Fe3O4-PAMH shows powerful potential in efficiently and selectively adsorbing anionic or cationic dyes from mixed wastewater.

Fabrication of Highly Porous Polymeric Nanocomposite for the Removal of Radioactive U(VI) and Eu(III) Ions from Aqueous Solution. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:E2940. [PMID: 33316959 PMCID: PMC7763886 DOI: 10.3390/polym12122940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2020] [Revised: 11/29/2020] [Accepted: 12/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
In the present study, a polymeric nanocomposite, CoFe2O4@DHBF, was fabricated using 2,4 dihydroxybenzaldehyde and formaldehyde in basic medium with CoFe2O4 nanoparticles. The fabricated nanocomposite was characterized using FTIR, TGA, XRD, SEM, TEM, and XPS analyses. The analytical results revealed that the magnetic nanocomposite was fabricated successfully with high surface area 370.24 m2/g. The fabricated CoFe2O4@DHBF was used as an efficient adsorbent for the adsorption of U(VI) and Eu(III) ions from contaminated water. pH, initial concentration, adsorption time, and the temperature of the contaminated water solution affecting the adsorption ability of the nanocomposites were studied. The batch adsorption results exposed that the adsorption capacity for the removal of U(VI) and Eu(III) was found to be 237.5 and 225.5 mg/g. The adsorption kinetics support that both the metal ions follow second order adsorption kinetics. The adsorption isotherm well fits with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the correlation coefficient (R2) values were found to be 0.9920 and 0.9913 for the adsorption of U(VI) and Eu(III), respectively. It was noticed that the fabricated nanocomposites show excellent regeneration ability and about 220.1 and 211.3 mg/g adsorption capacity remains with U(VI) and Eu(III) under optimum conditions.

Recyclable magnetic chitosan microspheres with good ability of removing cationic dyes from aqueous solutions. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 167:1020-1029. [PMID: 33186645 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.11.057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2020] [Revised: 11/09/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Sr3.8Fe25.7O70.4-chitosan magnetic microparticles (Sr3.8Fe25.7O70.4-CMNs) with a core-shell structure were synthesized, characterized and applied for the removal of two model cationic dyes. The results showed that these magnetic microparticles possess fast adsorption rate and high adsorption efficiency for both crystal violet (CV) and basic red 9 (BR9) at a temperature ranging 30 °C to 40 °C and suitable pH range (pH ≥ 7). The maximum removal efficiency for CV and BR9 attained to 94.5% and 97.5% in 30 min, which was significantly faster and higher than that of chitosan (<50% in 60 min) (P<0.01). And its maximum adsorption capacity for CV and BR9 reached 29.46 mg/g and 32.16 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption process of Sr3.8Fe25.7O70.4-CMNs follows the Langmuir isotherm with a high correlation coefficient (R2 > 0.97) and the pseudo-second-order model. Additionally, the synthesized Sr3.8Fe25.7O70.4-CMNs were easy to regeneration and reuse, and the removal rate remained above 90% after 5 recycle times. This study would provide a new more environmental friendly material and method for the treatment of wastewater containing toxic dyes.
