Abstract
Natural bioactive compounds from plants exhibit substantial pharmacological potency and therapeutic value. However, the development of most plant bioactive compounds is hindered by low solubility and instability. Conventional pharmaceutical forms, such as tablets and capsules, only partially overcome these limitations, restricting their efficacy. With the recent development of nanotechnology, nanocarriers can enhance the bioavailability, stability, and precise intracellular transport of plant bioactive compounds. Researchers are increasingly integrating nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems (NDDS) into the development of natural plant compounds with significant success. Moreover, natural products benefit from nanotechnological enhancement and contribute to the innovation and optimization of nanocarriers via self-assembly, grafting modifications, and biomimetic designs. This review aims to elucidate the collaborative and reciprocal advancement achieved by integrating nanocarriers with botanical products, such as bioactive compounds, polysaccharides, proteins, and extracellular vesicles. This review underscores the salient challenges in nanomedicine, encompassing long-term safety evaluations of nanomedicine formulations, precise targeting mechanisms, biodistribution complexities, and hurdles in clinical translation. Further, this study provides new perspectives to leverage nanotechnology in promoting the development and optimization of natural plant products for nanomedical applications and guiding the progression of NDDS toward enhanced efficiency, precision, and safety. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology.

Abstract
A novel sulfonated group and triethylenetetramine modified GO/chitosan (GO-CS) adsorbent (T-SGO-CS) was successfully prepared and utilized for the adsorption of heavy metal ions from single-metal, binary-metal, and ternary-metal solutions. In a single system, the adsorption capacity was 312.28 mg/g for Pb2+, 260.52 mg/g for Cd2+, and 84.61 mg/g for Ni2+, whereas, Adsorption of Pb(II), Cd(II), and Ni(II) in binary and ternary systems was systematically studied. In tertiary systems, the effect of competitive adsorption was more pronounced. In addition, T-SGO-CS exhibited a high adsorption capacity and was recyclable for Pb2+, Cd2+, and Ni2+. T-SGO-CS is a novel and highly efficient adsorbent for omnidirectionally enhancing the adsorption of Pb2+, Cd2+, and Ni2+, as demonstrated by these results. Therefore, T-SGO-CS could be investigated as a potential new material for future applications in heavy metal removal.

Chitosan-based adsorptive membrane modified by carboxymethyl cellulose for heavy metal ion adsorption: Experimental and density functional theory investigations. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 257:128706. [PMID: 38101669 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128706] [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: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023]
Abstract
Low adsorption capacity and weak mechanical stability are the main drawbacks of chitosan (CS)-based adsorptive membranes for heavy metal ion removal. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has been used to improve the mechanical stability of CS membranes, but adsorption capacity is disregarded. In the current study, the surface of the chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (CP) membrane was modified using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to increase its heavy metal ion adsorption capacity. Experimental and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to evaluate the heavy metal ion (As3+ and Cr3+) adsorption capabilities of CP and carboxymethyl cellulose-functionalized CP (CMC-CP) membranes. The batch adsorption process presented a higher heavy metal adsorption capacity of the CMC-CP membrane (As3+/CMC-CP = 234.78 mg/g and Cr3+/CMC-CP = 230.12 mg/g) compared to the CP membrane (As3+/CP = 89.02 mg/g and Cr3+/CP = 75.61 mg/g). The heavy metal/CMC-CP complexes confirmed higher adsorption energies (As3+/CMC-CP = -23.62 kcal/mol and Cr3+/CMC-CP = -23.21 kcal/mol) than the heavy metal/CP complexes (As3+/CP = -3.47 kcal/mol and Cr3+/CP = -2.92 kcal/mol). The electronic band structure was higher for CMC-CP (5.42 eV) compared to CP (4.43 eV). Experimental and theoretical findings were close, implying that the CMC-CP membrane has superior heavy metal adsorption capability than the CP membrane.

Abstract
The rapid development of the industrial sector has resulted in tremendous economic growth. However, this growth has also presented environmental challenges, specifically due to the substantial sewage generated and its contribution to the early warning of global water resource depletion. Large concentrations of poisonous heavy metals, including cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and nickel (Ni), are found in industrial effluent. Therefore, various studies are currently underway to provide effective solutions to alleviate heavy metal ion pollution in sewage. One emerging strategy for sewage pollution remediation is adsorption using wood and its derivatives. This approach is gaining popularity due to the porous structure, excellent mechanical properties, and easy chemical modification of wood. Recent studies have focused on removing heavy metal ions from sewage, summarising and analysing different technical principles, affecting factors, and mainstream chemical modification methods on wood. Furthermore, this work provides insight into potential future development direction for enhanced adsorption of heavy metal ions using wood and its derivatives in wastewater treatment. Overall, this review aims to raise awareness of environmental pollution caused by heavy metals in sewage and promote green environmental protection, low-carbon energy-saving, and sustainable solutions for sewage heavy metal treatment.

Abstract
The growing shortage of non-renewable resources and the burden of toxic pollutants in water have gradually become stumbling blocks in the path of sustainable human development. To this end, there has been great interest in finding renewable and environmentally friendly materials to promote environmental sustainability and combat harmful pollutants in wastewater. Of the many options, lignocellulose, as an abundant, biocompatible and renewable material, is the most attractive candidate for water remediation due to the unique physical and chemical properties of its constituents. Herein, we review the latest research advances in lignocellulose-based adsorbents, focusing on lignocellulosic composition, material modification, application of adsorbents. The modification and preparation methods of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose and their applications in the treatment of diverse contaminated water are systematically and comprehensively presented. Also, the detailed description of the adsorption model, the adsorption mechanism and the adsorbent regeneration technique provides an excellent reference for understanding the underlying adsorption mechanism and the adsorbent recycling. Finally, the challenges and limitations of lignocellulosic adsorbents are evaluated from a practical application perspective, and future developments in the related field are discussed. In summary, this review offers rational insights to develop lignocellulose-based environmentally-friendly reactive materials for the removal of hazardous aquatic contaminants.

Abstract
In this study, two novel biosorbents of l-lysine grafted cellulose (L-PCM, L-TCF) were prepared for Pb(II) removal from aqueous solutions. Various adsorption parameters were surveyed, such as adsorbent dosages, initial concentration of Pb(II), temperature and pH, using adsorption techniques. At normal temperature, less adsorbent can achieve better adsorption capacity (89.71 ± 0.27 mg g-1 with 0.5 g L-1 of L-PCM, 16.84 ± 0.02 mg g-1 with 3.0 g L-1 of L-TCF). The pH range of application for L-PCM was 4-12 and that of L-TCF was 4-13. The adsorption of Pb(II) by biosorbents went through the boundary layer diffusion stage and void diffusion stage. The adsorption mechanism was chemisorption based on multilayer heterogeneous adsorption. The pseudo-second-order model fitted the adsorption kinetics perfectly. The Freundlich isotherm model adequately described Multimolecular equilibrium relationship between Pb(II) and biosorbents; the predicted maximum adsorption capacities of the two adsorbents were 904.12 and 46.74 mg g-1, respectively. The results showed that the adsorption mechanism was the electrostatic attraction between Pb(II) and -COOH and the complexation between Pb(II) and -NH2. This work demonstrated that l-lysine modified cellulose-based biosorbents have great potential in the field of Pb(II) removal from aqueous solutions.
