Abstract
With the advancement of technology, wastewater treatment has become a significant challenge limiting the clean and sustainable development of chemical and metallurgical industries. Foam extraction, based on interfacial separation and mineral flotation, has garnered considerable attention as a wastewater treatment technology due to its unique physicochemical properties. Although considerable excellent accomplishments were reported, there still lacks a comprehensive summary of process features and contaminant removal mechanisms via foam extraction. According to the latest research progresses, the principles and characteristics of foam extraction technology, the classification and application of flotation reagents are systematically summarized in this work. Then comprehensively commented on the application fields and prospects of iterative flotation technology such as ion flotation, adsorption flotation and floating-extraction. The shortcomings and limitations of the current foam extraction technologies were discussed, and the feasible process intensification techniques were highlighted. This review aims to enchance the understanding of the foam extraction mechanism, and provides guidance for the selection appropriate reagents and foam extraction technologies in wastewater treatment.

Polypyrrole Coating via Lemieux-von Rudloff Oxidation on Magnetite Nanoparticles for Highly Efficient Removal of Chromium(VI) from Wastewater. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:19077-19088. [PMID: 38708251 PMCID: PMC11064182 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c09864] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
An alternative way for the coating of polypyrrole (PPy) polymer on hydrophobic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles is reported here to capture toxic chromium ions, Cr (VI), present in water. Iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4) were synthesized by the conventional coprecipitation technique using FeCl3·6H2O and FeSO4·7H2O iron precursors and subsequently modified with oleic acid (OA). Then OA-Fe3O4 hydrophobic nanoparticles were oxidized using the Lemieux-von Rudloff reaction to transfer OA into hydrophilic azelaic acid (AA) (HOOC(CH2)7COOH-modified magnetic nanoparticles (AA-Fe3O4). Finally, a PPy polymer coating was formed by a seeded polymerization of pyrrole, using AA-Fe3O4 as seeds. The average size of PPy/Fe3O4 nanocomposites is 12.33 nm and is almost spherical in shape. The surface composition is confirmed by FTIR and thermogravimetry analyses. An X-ray diffraction study confirmed the formation of highly crystalline Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and the crystallinity was retained after the surface modification. The adsorption study suggested that the Cr(VI) ion adsorption is highly pH-dependent and the maximum amount of adsorption is obtained at pH 2.0. The adsorption results revealed that the Langmuir model provided the best fit for the isotherm, with a maximum adsorption capacity reaching approximately 173.22 mg g-1 at 323 K. Spontaneous and endothermic adsorption processes were confirmed by evaluating the thermodynamic parameters obtained in this investigation. The kinetics study showed that the interaction between Cr(VI) ions and magnetic nanocomposites was directed by a pseudo-second-order rate process indicating chemisorption. The prepared PPy/Fe3O4 nanocomposites would be promising adsorbents to purify water by eliminating Cr(VI) metal ions from wastewater.

Abstract
Flotation of the mineral lithium aluminate by application of the natural product punicine from Punica granatum and some derivatives as collectors is examined. Punicines, 1-(2',5'-dihydroxyphenyl)-pyridinium compounds, are switchable molecules whose properties can be changed reversibly. They exist as cations, neutral mesomeric betaines, anions, and dianions depending on the pH. In light, they form radicals. Five punicine derivatives were prepared which possess β-methyl, β-chlorine, γ-tert.-butyl, and γ-acetyl groups attached to the pyridinium ring, and a pyrogallol derivative. On the other hand, LiAlO2 reacts with water to give species such as LiAl2(OH)7 on its surface. Flotations were performed applying the punicines in daylight (3000 lux), in darkness (<40 lux) and under UV-irradiation (4500 lux, 390-400 nm). The pH of the suspension, the collector's concentration, the conditioning time as well as the flotation time were varied. The recovery rates strongly depend on these parameters. For example, the recovery rate of lithium aluminate was increased by 116 % on changing the lighting condition from daylight to darkness, when the pyrogallol derivative of punicine was applied. UV, FTIR, TGA and zeta potential measurements as well as DFT calculations were performed in order to gain insight into the chemistry of punicines on the surface of LiAlO2 and LiAl2(OH)7 in water which influence the flotation's results.

Abstract
Derivatives of the natural product punicine [1-(2',5'-dihydroxyphenyl)pyridinium chloride] were developed as switchable collectors for the flotation of lithium-containing engineered artifical minerals (EnAMs). These EnAMs are e.g. formed by pyrometallurgical processing of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries. Depending on the pH value and the lighting conditions, punicines exist in water as cations, two different electrostatically neutral mesomeric betaines, anionic tripoles, radical cations or radical anions. The radical species form by photochemically induced disproportionation reactions. We prepared punicine derivatives introducing alkyl chains in the pyridinium moiety (4-methyl, 4-ethyl, 4-octyl and 4-undecanyl) to install hydrophobic groups and examined the recovery rates of the flotation of lithium aluminate (LiAlO2). We varied the lighting conditions (darkness, daylight, LED irradiation at λ = 390-400 nm) and the pH value, the collector's and frother's concentration, and the flotation time. With our collectors, recovery rates of lithium aluminate up to 90% were accomplished when the flotation was conducted in Hallimond tubes exposed to daylight at pH 11 in water.

Abstract
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were surface functionalized using four distinct chemical moieties (amidoxime, hydrazone, ethylenediamine (EDA), and diethylenetriamine (DETA)), producing modified HNTs (H1-H4) capable of binding with Cr(vi) ions. Advanced techniques like FTIR, XRD, SEM, and EDX provided evidence of the successful functionalization of these HNTs. Notably, the functionalization occurred on the surface of HNTs, rather than within the interlayer or lumen. These decorated HNTs were effective in capturing Cr(vi) ions at optimized sorption parameters, with adsorption rates ranging between 58-94%, as confirmed by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The mechanism of adsorption was further scrutinized through the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. Langmuir isotherms revealed the nearest fit to the data suggesting the monolayer adsorption of Cr(vi) ions onto the nanotubes, indicating a favorable adsorption process. It was hypothesized that Cr(vi) ions are primarily attracted to the amine groups on the modified nanotubes. Quantum chemical calculations further revealed that HNTs functionalized with hydrazone structures (H2) demonstrated a higher affinity (interaction energy -26.33 kcal mol-1) for the Cr(vi) ions. This can be explained by the formation of stronger hydrogen bonds with the NH moieties of the hydrazone moiety, than those established by the OH of oxime (H1) and longer amine chains (H3 and H4), respectively. Overall, the findings suggest that these decorated HNTs could serve as an effective and cost-efficient solution for treating water pollution.

Abstract
Herein, Fe3O4 core-TiO2/mesoSiO2 and Fe3O4 core-mesoSiO2/TiO2 double shell nanoparticles were prepared by first (R1) and second (R2) routes and applied for the removal of methylene blue. The reported adsorption capacities for R1-0.2, R1-0.4 and R2 samples were 128, 118 and 133 mg.g-1, respectively, which were obtained after 80 min as equilibrium contact time, and pH of 6 using a methylene blue concentration of 200 ppm. The adsorption of methylene blue using the prepared Fe3O4 core-meso SiO2/TiO2 double shell was analyzed by kinetic and isotherms models. In addition, thermodynamic investigations were applied to assess the spontaneous nature of the process. The obtained results confirmed that the pseudo-second order model is well fitted with the adsorption data and the Freundlich-isotherm assumption suggested a multilayer adsorption mechanism. In addition, results of the thermodynamic investigation indicated that ΔG° was in the range of -2.3 to -6.8 kJ/mol for R1-0.2, -2.8 to -6.3 kJ/mol for R1-0.4 and -2.0 to -5.2 kJ/mol for R2. In addition, the ΔH° and ΔS° values were found in the range of 26.4 to 36.19 kJ.mol-1 and 94.9 to 126.3 Jmol-1 K-1, respectively. These results confirm that the surfaces of Fe3O4 core-mesoSiO2/TiO2 and Fe3O4 core-TiO2/mesoSiO2 double shell exhibit a spontaneous tendency to adsorb methylene blue from the aqueous solutions. The achieved performance of Fe3O4 core-meso SiO2/TiO2 and Fe3O4 core-TiO2/meso SiO2 double shell as adsorbent for methylene blue removal will encourage future research investigations on the removal of a broad range of contaminants from wastewater.

Abstract
Imidazolium salts were prepared which possess 2-ethoxyethyl pivalate or 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl pivalate groups as amphiphilic side chains with oxygen donors as well as n-butyl substituents as hydrophobic groups. The N-heterocyclic carbenes of the salts, characterized by 7Li and 13C NMR spectroscopy as well as by Rh and Ir complex formation, were used as starting materials for the preparation of the corresponding imidazole-2-thiones and imidazole-2-selenones. Flotation experiments in Hallimond tubes under variation of the air flow, pH, concentration and flotation time were performed. The title compounds proved to be suitable collectors for the flotation of lithium aluminate and spodumene for lithium recovery. Recovery rates up to 88.9% were obtained when the imidazole-2-thione was used as collector.

Abstract
The legacies of past uranium mining and milling activities for nuclear fuel fabrication continue to be a cause of concern and require assessment and remedial action for researchers worldwide. The discharge of uranium contaminated water into the environment is a matter of regulation (World Health Organization, WHO-15 μg/L, Romanian Legislation, RO-21 μg/L), environment and health. Therefore, various removal technologies of U(VI) from diluted aqueous solutions include chemical precipitation, ion exchange, adsorption, immobilization on zero-valent iron nanoparticles, etc. have been extensively applied. Our previous research has studied the removal of U(VI) from diluted aqueous systems such as mine waters using Fe0-based nanomaterials synthesized in the laboratory (NMS) (Crane et al. in Water Res 45:2391-2942, 2011). The carbonate rich aqueous system was treated with NMS to remove U(VI). It was observed that after half an hour of reacting time only about 50% was removed due to its high tendency to form stable soluble carbonated complexes. Considering that, the present article aims to investigate the Sorption/Flotation technique, by using a sorbent generated in situ Fe2O3· nH2O and sodium oleate surfactant to remove U(VI) from diluted aqueous systems and to update the knowledge on the mechanism of process. In order to determine the removal efficiency of U(VI), the influencing factors were studied: pH, sorbent dose, surfactant concentration, contact time, stirring rate, the U(VI) concentration, air pressure in pressurized water recipient, and the effect of some accompanying heavy metals ions (Cu(II), Cr(VI), and Mo(VI)). The removal efficiency (%R) was monitored and its maximum values allowed to establish the optimal separation parameters (the established process parameters), which were validated on real mine water samples (MW). High U (VI) removal efficiencies %R > 98% were obtained. The Sorption/ Flotation technique was applied to remove U(VI) from two types of real mine water samples, namely "simple" and "pre-treated with NMS", respectively. For the mine water samples pre-treated with NMS, it worked in two variants: with and without pH correction. For pH range = 7.5-9.5, molar ratios [U(VI)] : [Fe(III)] = 1 : 75, [U(VI)] : [NaOL] = 1 : 1 × 10-2, contact time 30 min., stirring speed 250 RPM, initial concentration of U(VI) 10 mg·L-1, air pressure in pressurized water recipient p = 4 × 105 N·m-2 is obtained %R > 98%. It has been found that Sorption / Flotation can function with good %R values as a stand-alone operation or in tandem with NMS pre-treatment of mine water and pH adjustment proved to be highly efficiency (CU(VI) < 1·10-3 mg·L-1).

Abstract
Hazardous ions, like those of heavy metals, cause significant health and environmental problems when they are discharged into water resources naturally or through various industrial processes. Removing these ions from water is of significant importance in the provision of high-quality water for drinking and agricultural usage. This work discusses current techniques that are frequently used for the removal of heavy-metal ions from aqueous solutions by absorption, particularly the use of biodegradable surfactants in ion flotation. Certain new surfactants promise high efficiency in their use in the ion-flotation process and in their application in industrial-water treatment to remove heavy metals. As an example, this work demonstrates the high efficiency of surfactants based on an amino-acid (L-cysteine) in removing a range of heavy-metal ions in a simple, single-stage ion-flotation process. High foaming ability, the ability to operate in various temperatures and pHs, decomposing into natural products and high binding affinity for heavy-metal ions make the cysteine-based surfactants a highly suitable compound to replace current commercial surfactants in ion- and froth-flotation processes. Removal of particular ions can also be achieved in ion flotation; a suitable choice of parameters, such as pH and surfactant concentration, favours the surfactant binding to those ions. Further intensive work is required to develop an optimal process to recover valuable elements from waste solutions.

Abstract
Water is a valuable natural resource, which plays a crucial role in ecological survival as well as economic progress. However, the water quality has deteriorated in recent years as a result of urbanization, industrialization and human activities due to the uncontrolled release of industrial wastes, which can be extremely carcinogenic and non-degradable, in air, water and soil bodies. Such wastes showed the presence of organic and inorganic pollutants in high dosages. Heavy metals are the most obstinate contaminants, and they can be harmful because of having a variety of detrimental consequences to the ecosystem. The existing water treatment methods in many situations may not be sustainable or effective because of their high energy requirements and ecological impacts. In this review, state-of-the-art water treatment methods for the elimination of heavy metals with the help of protein nanofibrils are covered featuring a discussion on the strategies and possibilities of developing protein nanofibrils for the active elimination of heavy metals using kitchen waste as well as residues from the cattle, agriculture, and dairy industries. Further, the emphasis has been given to their environmental sustainability and economical aspects are also discussed.

Abstract
The study aims to treat artificial wastewater contaminated with copper (II) ions by reverse osmosis using (SEPA CF042 Membrane Test Skid-TFC BW30XFR). Several concentrations of feedstock were prepared. Different operating pressure, temperature, and flow rate were applied. The effect of these operating conditions on both the amount of Cu (II) removal and the permeate flux was monitored. The results of the study revealed that both the permeate flux and Cu (II) removal amount were directly proportional to the operating pressure and feed temperature but inversely proportional to the feed concentration. In contrast, the feed flow rate showed a negligible effect on the permeate flux and Cu (II) removal amount. The temperature correction factor (TCF) of the membrane was calculated and was found to be directly proportional to the feed temperature but inversely proportional to the applied pressure. It was seen that the concentration and flow rate of that feed did not affect the temperature correction factor. Mathematical models have been developed based on these experimental data for both permeate flux and the Cu (II) removal. It was noted that the permeate flux model matched the experimental data, while the Cu (II) removal model did not show a perfect match. In addition to the above, the research highlights for subsequent studies the possibility of a deep link between experimental work and mathematical models.

Abstract
Two-dimensional MoS2 nanosheets have shown great potential in heavy metal remediation due to their unique properties. MoS2 has two primary phases: 1T and 2H. Each has different physiochemical properties, but the impact of these differences on the overall material's heavy metal removal performance and associated mechanisms is rarely reported. In this study, we synthesized morphologically similar but phase-distinct MoS2 samples via hydrothermal synthesis, which comprised dominantly either a metallic 1T phase or a semiconducting 2H phase. 1T-MoS2 samples exhibited higher removal capacities for Ag+ and Pb2+ cations relative to 2H-MoS2. In particular, an eight-fold increase in the Pb2+ adsorption capacity was observed in the 1T-MoS2 samples (i.e. ∼632.9 mg g-1) compared to the 2H-MoS2 samples (∼81.6 mg g-1). The mechanisms driving the enhanced performance of 1T-MoS2 were investigated through detailed characterization of metal-laden MoS2 samples and DFT modelling. We found that 1T-MoS2 intrinsically had a larger interlayer spacing than 2H-MoS2 because water molecules were retained between the hydrophilic 1T nanosheets during hydrothermal synthesis. The widened interlayer spacing in 1T-MoS2 allowed the diffusion of heavy metal ions into the nanochannels, increasing the number of adsorption sites and total removal capacities. On the other hand, DFT modelling revealed the energy-favorable adsorption complex of Ag+ and Pb2+ for 1T-MoS2, in which each metal atom was bonded with three S atoms leading to much higher adsorption energies relative to 2H-MoS2 for Ag+ and Pb2+. This study unravels the underlying mechanisms of phase-dependent heavy metal remediation by MoS2 nanosheets, providing an important guide for the use of 2D nanomaterials in environmental applications which include heavy metal removal, contaminant sensing, and membrane separation.

Abstract
Due to their numerous effects on human health and the natural environment, water contamination with heavy metals and metalloids, caused by their extensive use in various technologies and industrial applications, continues to be a huge ecological issue that needs to be urgently tackled. Additionally, within the circular economy management framework, the recovery and recycling of metals-based waste as high value-added products (VAPs) is of great interest, owing to their high cost and the continuous depletion of their reserves and natural sources. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art technologies developed for the removal and recovery of metal pollutants from wastewater by providing an in-depth understanding of their remediation mechanisms, while analyzing and critically discussing the recent key advances regarding these treatment methods, their practical implementation and integration, as well as evaluating their advantages and remaining limitations. Herein, various treatment techniques are covered, including adsorption, reduction/oxidation, ion exchange, membrane separation technologies, solvents extraction, chemical precipitation/co-precipitation, coagulation-flocculation, flotation, and bioremediation. A particular emphasis is placed on full recovery of the captured metal pollutants in various reusable forms as metal-based VAPs, mainly as solid precipitates, which is a powerful tool that offers substantial enhancement of the remediation processes' sustainability and cost-effectiveness. At the end, we have identified some prospective research directions for future work on this topic, while presenting some recommendations that can promote sustainability and economic feasibility of the existing treatment technologies.

Abstract
We designed and synthesized a novel high efficiency Cr(VI) removal material using reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as a support with high specific surface area and a mixture of Fe and Ni nanoparticles (NPs) as a catalytic reducing agent. Such a design enables the composite particle to be integrated with three functions of adsorption, catalysis, and reduction, where RGO could enhance Cr(VI) adsorption, while Fe/Ni NPs increase the catalytic reducing efficiency. The application of a microchip mixer guaranteed a better mixing of GO and subsequent decoration of Fe and Ni NPs on RGO. Cr(VI) removal experiments with various materials are performed, and the results demonstrated that the Ni-Fe/RGO achieved an adsorption capacity of 150.45 mg/g at pH = 7 and 197.43 mg/g at pH = 5 for Cr(VI), which is higher than those of other reported materials at a pH of ∼7. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of Ni-Fe/RGO for efficient Cr(VI) removal by using the synergistic effects of increased adsorption, catalysis-assisted reduction, and enhanced mixing effect of a microchip mixer. This work also provides us with a simple and low-cost method for the fabrication of an effective Cr(VI) removal material.

Abstract
The paramount cause of water scarcity is pollution, which is becoming a massive issue since the last century. Besides, it is evident that water pollution is the main cause of emerging contaminants that are left untreated from industries, can cause serious threats to humans and biota as well. One of the best ways in remediating pollutants and finding a way for generating useable water is to use this contaminated water after the necessary treatment. Heavy metals are of major concern in treatment because of their toxicity, non-biodegradability, carcinogenicity, and they can cause inevitable damages even at low concentrations. In this review article, available different flotation techniques are discussed to address this issue. Flotation tends to be one of the promising techniques that have shown a high scope because of its high produce, low sludge formation, and ease of operation. From the several pieces of literature, it can be inferred that the flotation process can be conducted in one step, and that does not need any expensive materials. Further, this paper deliberates the versatility of each process in disclosing its advantages, limitations, further scope of research and fills the loopholes in the process for better effectiveness. Overall, flotation is a highly probable as well as effective treatment technology to eradicate noxious pollutants present in wastewater and thus helps to compromise environmental and social sustainability.

Abstract
Water is a basic and significant asset for living beings. Water assets are progressively diminishing due to huge populace development, industrial activities, urbanization and rural exercises. Few heavy metals include zinc, copper, lead, nickel, cadmium and so forth can easily transfer into the water system either direct or indirect activities of electroplating, mining, tannery, painting, fertilizer industries and so forth. The different treatment techniques have been utilized to eliminate the heavy metals from aquatic system, which includes coagulation/flocculation, precipitation, membrane filtration, oxidation, flotation, ion exchange, photo catalysis and adsorption. The adsorption technique is a better option than other techniques because it can eliminate heavy metals even at lower metal ions concentration, simplicity and better regeneration behavior. Agricultural wastes are low-cost biosorbent and typically containing cellulose have the ability to absorb a variety of contaminants. It is important to note that almost all agro wastes are no longer used in their original form but are instead processed in a variety of techniques to improve the adsorption capacity of the substance. The wide range of adsorption capacities for agro waste materials were observed and almost more than 99% removal of toxic pollutants from aquatic systems were achieved using modified agro-waste materials. The present review aims at the water pollution due to heavy metals, as well as various heavy metal removal treatment procedures. The primary objectives of this research is to include an overview of adsorption and various agriculture based adsorbents and its comparison in heavy metal removal.

Abstract
This research paper concentrates on the removal of heavy metal from wastewater which was produced from an electroplating industry. Here, the Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) treatment process is carried out to remove toxic metals such as chromium, cadmium, nickel, lead, and copper using Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) as a collector. The best-optimized conditions for the maximum removal of all the metal ions about 97.39% was achieved at pH 8, contact time of 60 min, surfactant dosage of 0.2 g, and the pressure of 137.89 kPa. At optimized conditions, the treated water consists of 2.71 mg/L of chromium, 1.13 mg/L of cadmium, 10.24 mg/L of nickel, 0.06 mg/L of lead, and 1.14 mg/L of copper. The used surfactant SDS was found as an environmentally friendly compound as prescribed by the Environmental Protection Agency. It is inferred that the flotation kinetics that manifests the rate of recovery and time for all the metal ions follow first-order kinetics. Further, the removal rate constant (k) increases with decreasing the initial metal ion concentration. Overall, the result of this work propounds that the DAF process plays as a promising technique to eliminate noxious pollutants from the wastewater.

Demissie H, Lu S, Jiao R, Liu L, Xiang Y, Ritigala T, Ajibade FO, Mihiranga HKM, An G, Wang D. Advances in micro interfacial phenomena of adsorptive micellar flocculation: Principles and application for water treatment. WATER RESEARCH 2021; 202:117414. [PMID: 34303165 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2021.117414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2021] [Revised: 07/01/2021] [Accepted: 07/02/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Among various aqua remediation technologies, separation aims at cleaning pollutants by isolating them despite their destruction; solutes can also be recovered after the process. Adsorptive micellar flocculation (AMF) has been known as an important surfactant-based technique to separate poorly water-soluble hazardous pollutants from aqua media as an efficient and energy-intensive replacement for other surfactant-based techniques, as such AMF should be known. AMF is based on the partitioning of solutes gradient from bulk solution into the nanosized smart anionic surfactant micelle followed by flocculation. However, unlike coagulation/flocculation or adsorption, AMF is not viable for the production of drinking water in water utilities due to the loss of surfactant monomers. Unfortunately, it can be used as a reservoir or for the recycling/recovery of organic pollutants (intermediates) (ions, organics/bioactive, dyes, etc.), even at high concentrations. The performance of AMF depends on various parameters, and this review briefly summarizes the existing researches on different pollutants removal by AMF and material recovery/recycling. This includes operating condition factors (surfactants, flocculants, surfactant-flocculant or surfactant-pollutant concentration ratio, and water conditions chemistry). Because varieties of micro interfacial phenomena other than physical interactions occur in a versatile micellar environment in the AMF process, emphases are given to adsorptive oxidation, micellar catalysis, selectivity. Furthermore, for the first time, this review gives an overview of understanding the state-of-the-art multifunctional nano amphiphile-based AMF that behaves mimetic to aquatic organisms in the process of pollutant removal. The efficiency of AMF, including recycling concentrated solution without noticeable deterioration, as an auxiliary resource/income for the next cycle, signifies economic viability, versatility, and manifold applications in aqua remediation. Significance, ways to achieve enhanced process efficiency, as well as challenges and future opportunities in wastewater treatment, are also highlighted.

A comprehensive review on magnetic carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube-based buckypaper for removal of heavy metals and dyes. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 413:125375. [PMID: 33930951 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.125375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 84] [Impact Index Per Article: 28.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2020] [Revised: 02/01/2021] [Accepted: 02/06/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Industrial effluents contain several organic and inorganic contaminants. Among others, dyes and heavy metals introduce a serious threat to drinking waterbodies. These pollutants can be noxious or carcinogenic in nature, and harmful to humans and different aquatic species. Therefore, it is of high importance to remove heavy metals and dyes to reduce their environmental toxicity. This has led to an extensive research for the development of novel materials and techniques for the removal of heavy metals and dyes. One route to the removal of these pollutants is the utilization of magnetic carbon nanotubes (CNT) as adsorbents. Magnetic carbon nanotubes hold remarkable properties such as surface-volume ratio, higher surface area, convenient separation methods, etc. The suitable characteristics of magnetic carbon nanotubes have led them to an extensive search for their utilization in water purification. Along with magnetic carbon nanotubes, the buckypaper (BP) membranes are also favorable due to their unique strength, high porosity, and adsorption capability. However, BP membranes are mostly used for salt removal from the aqueous phase and limited literature shows their applications for removal of heavy metals and dyes. This study focuses on the existence of heavy metal ions and dyes in the aquatic environment, and methods for their removal. Various fabrication approaches for the development of magnetic-CNTs and CNT-based BP membranes are also discussed. With the remarkable separation performance and ultra-high-water flux, magnetic-CNTs, and CNT-based BP membranes have a great potential to be the leading technologies for water treatment in future.

Abstract
Activated carbons (ACs) were prepared from pomelo peels by K2CO3 activation and used as an adsorbent (PAC) for the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. BET, SEM, and FT-IR were employed for the characterization of the obtained ACs. The optimum ACs were reported at activation temperature of 850°C, activation time of 60 min, and impregnation ratio of 3, which had a high surface area (1213 m2/g) and total pore volume (0.57 cm3/g). The resulting ACs were used for the adsorption of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions in the batch mode and yielded a superior adsorption capacity of 139.08 mg/g. The pH of optimum adsorption was determined as 5. Pseudo first-order model, pseudo second-order model, and intraparticle diffusion model were applied to describe the adsorption processes. The adsorption kinetic data were found to follow the pseudo second-order model. The adsorption isotherms data were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich models. The Langmuir model was found to provide the best fit, and the calculated adsorption capacity was 151.35 mg/g.

Abstract
The growth of industry fulfills our necessity and promotes economic development. However, pollutants from such industries pollute water bodies which pose a high risk for living organisms. Thus, researchers have been urged to develop an efficient method to remove toxic heavy metal ions from water bodies. The adsorption method shows promising results for the removal of heavy metal ions and is easy to operate on a large scale, thus can be applied to practical applications. Numerous adsorbents were developed and reported, among them hydrogels, which attract great attention because of the reusability, ease of preparation, and handling. Hydrogels are generally prepared by the cross-linking of polymers that result in a three-dimensional structure, showing high porosity and high functionality. They are hydrophilic in nature because of the functional groups, and are non-toxic. Thus, this review provides various methods of hydrogel adsorbents preparation and summarizes recent progress in the use of hydrogel adsorbents for the removal of heavy metal ions. Further, the mechanism involved in the removal of heavy metal ions is briefly discussed. The most recent studies about the adsorption method for the treatment of heavy metal ions contaminated water are presented.

Abstract
The Zn(II) and Mn(II) removal by an ion flotation process from model and real dilute aqueous solutions derived from waste batteries was studied in this work. The research aimed to determine optimal conditions for the removal of Zn(II) and Mn(II) from aqueous solutions after acidic leaching of Zn-C and Zn-Mn waste batteries. The ion flotation process was carried out at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. Two organic compounds used as collectors were applied, i.e., m-dodecylphosphoric acid 32 and m-tetradecylphosphoric 33 acid in the presence of a non-ionic foaming agent (Triton X-100, 29). It was found that both compounds can be used as collectors in the ion flotation for Zn(II) and Mn(II) removal process. Process parameters for Zn(II) and Mn(II) flotation have been established for collective or selective removal metals, e.g., good selectivity coefficients equal to 29.2 for Zn(II) over Mn(II) was achieved for a 10 min process using collector 32 in the presence of foaming agent 29 at pH = 9.0.

Abstract
This paper presents the results of investigations concerning the simultaneous removal of Al(III), Cu(II), and Zn(II) from dilute aqueous solutions using ion and precipitate flotation methods. The effects of initial solution pH, surface active substance concentration, and the gas velocity on the flotations’ efficiency and course are studied. Experimental results are discussed in terms of physicochemical aspects related to aqueous solutions of metal salts. The results indicate that satisfying simultaneous flotations of aluminum, copper and zinc species are observed if the pH value ranges between 7.0 and 9.0. It was found that an increase in collector concentration results in a decrease in the flotation rate constants. An increase in the gas velocity results in an increase in the ion and precipitate flotation rates.

Abstract
Polydopamine-coated polystyrene (PS@PDA) nanospheres which are prepared by self-polymerizing of dopamine on the surfaces of polystyrene (PS) nanospheres show excellent Cu2+ adsorption capacity. The Cu2+ adsorption capacity of PS@PDA can even reach 178 mg/g in about 6 min, which is superior to the other adsorption materials reported in literatures. Through linear fitting, it can be seen that Cu2+ is chemisorption covered by multilayers on the surface of PS@PDA, with less affect by temperature. The PS@PDA nanosphere with good adsorption capacity is first applied as the Cu2+ adsorbent and then recycled to preparation of PS nanocomposite with enhanced flame retardancy, great smoke and toxic gases suppression properties. To overcome the drawbacks of evaluation methods reported before, a new evaluation system of analytic hierarchy process is first applied to comprehensively analyze fire safety of samples. The average value of smoke production rate of PS@PDA absorbed 5 mg/L Cu2+ (PS 2) reduces by about 10%, and the average and total yield of carbon monoxide of PS 2 decrease by 15.7% and 18.1% compared with that of neat PS, respectively. PS 2 with the highest score of 86.75 has the best comprehensive fire safety performance among all samples. This work provides a guideline for green flame-retardant chemistry.

Abstract
Field experiments was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of sepiolite (S), sepiolite + fungi residues (SFR) and sepiolite + vermicompost (SVC) on in situ immobilization remediation of Cd contaminated soils. The results showed that treatments of S, SFR and SVC decreased soil Cd availability by 15.2-47.8%, 17.5-44.9% and 13.2-44.9%, respectively, when compared with the control groups. Moreover, the content of Cd in edible parts of Lactuca sativa L., Cichorium endivia L. and Brassica campestris L. was experienced a decrease of 15.9-41.9%, 1.6-38.0% and 29.0-37.4% reduction, respectively, under the amended soil. The improvement of soil fertility was obtained under addition of SVC and SFR, while the amounts of available P, K, organic matter, microbial carbon, microbial nitrogen and dehydrogenase activity were increased by 9.6-68.2%, 1.2-28.3%, 37.5-70.5%, 4.1-121.0%, 220-640% and 6.8-56.8%, respectively, in contrast to CK. Moreover, high-throughput sequencing analysis showed that the combined treated soils got higher values of alpha diversity indices, Chao1, ACE and Shannon. The number of dominant phyla (Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, Crenarchaeota) and genera (Aquicella, Lysobacter, Candidatus Nitrososphaera, Sphingopyxis, Mesorhizobium) were enhanced. Therefore, the use of sepiolite and organic amendments could be an adequate strategy to immobilization remediation of Cd-contaminated soils.

Abstract
Flotation using cationic surfactants has been investigated as a rapid separation technique to dewater clinoptilolite ion exchange resins, for the decontamination of radioactive cesium ions (Cs+) from nuclear waste effluent. Initial kinetic and equilibrium adsorption studies of cesium, suggested the large surface area to volume ratio of the fine zeolite contributed to fast adsorption kinetics and high capacities (qc = 158.3 mg/g). Adsorption of ethylhexadecyldimethylammonium bromide (EHDa-Br) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) surfactant collectors onto both clean and 5 ppm Cs+ contaminated clinoptilolite was then measured, where distribution coefficients (Kd) as high as 10,000 mL/g were evident with moderate concentrations CPC. Measurements of particle sizes confirmed that adsorption of surfactant monolayers did not lead to significant aggregation of the clinoptilolite, while < 8% of the 5 ppm contaminated cesium was remobilised. Importantly for flotation, both the recovery efficiency and dewatering ratios were measured across various surfactant concentrations. Optimum conditions were found with 0.5 mM of CPC and addition of 30 μL of MIBC frother, giving a recovery of ∼90% and a water reduction ratio > 4, highlighting the great viability of flotation to separate and concentrate the contaminated powder in the froth phase.

Abstract
An improved method has been developed for the efficient synthesis of octanoyl-cysteine in single-chain form (N-octanoyl-cys) which operates as a surfactant over a wide pH range, is easily decomposed into natural products and has a high product yield. The compound offers an environmentally acceptable agent for the adsorption of a range of heavy metals from contaminated waters/soils, and it could also be used in general household detergents or personnel-cleaner formulations, and even in toothpastes. The surfactant was used as a co-surfactant for flotation of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a per/poly-fluoroalkyl substance (PFAS). The new surfactant produced significant foaming and removed 70% of the PFOA after 30min of foam fractionation. The compound is also potentially useful in facilitating the release of PFAS compounds; these are negatively charged and often bound to charged particles in sand, clay, and humic-acid-coated materials and microorganisms via bridging multivalent ions, such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Al3+ and Fe3+, as well as a range of other heavy-metal ions present in soil to varying degrees. In soils (and also in contaminated water), the common chelating agent EDTA is often used to encapsulate these ions (e.g. Ca2+, the dominant ion in soil) at moderately high pH to aid in the release of the bound PFAS compounds. However, it would be more environmentally acceptable to use this new biodegradable surfactant, which could combine chelation with foam-fractionation separation of surface-active (e.g. PFAS) components in soils.

Abstract
Organic substance (O.S) in industrial phosphoric acid (IPA) solution is often tacked placed creates a major problem for IPA quality. This study was performed to assess the efficiency of Iron Intercalated Bentonite Nanoparticles (IIBN) coupled with the ultrasonic irradiation named sono-adsorption process for treating IPA 54% P2O5 contained O.S. XRD, SEM and BET were performed for the characterization of as-prepared adsorbent. Several conditions such as adsorbent dosage, molar ratio (OH/Fe) and time were investigated in retention experiments at acidic pH and T° of 40 ± 1 °C. The sono-assisted retention parameters were optimized by using NEMROOD software. The interaction impact of study condition on the final retention capability of the organism has been revealed by ANOVA software. Accordingly, the organic substance removal can be retained more than 83% by a sonication time of 0.5 h, absorbent dosage of 1.2 g/L and a molar ratio (OH/Fe) of 1.37. The absorbability of O.S was also evaluated by using the three parameters retention isotherms and kinetic analysis.

Abstract
New materials, such as polymer inclusion membranes, can be used for water and wastewater treatment. In this paper, the selective transport of silver(I) and zinc(II) ions from nitrate solutions through the polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs), which consist of cellulose triacetate as a polymeric support, o-nitrophenyl pentyl ether as a plasticizer, and either 1-hexylimidazole (1) or 1-hexyl-2-methylimidazole (2) as an ion carrier, is studied. Both Zn(II) and Ag(I) model solutions (CM = 0.001 M, pH = 6.5), as well as the solutions after the leaching of a spent battery with a silver-zinc cell (silver-oxide battery), are tested. The results show that Zn(II) ions are effectively transported through PIMs containing either carrier, whereas Ag(I) is more easily transported through PIMs doped with (1). In the case of the leaching solution after 24 h transport, the recovery coefficients of Ag(I) and Zn(II) for PIMs doped with (1) are 86% and 90%, respectively, and for PIMs doped with (2), 47% and 94%, respectively. The influence of basicity and structure of carrier molecules on transport kinetics is discussed as well. PIMs are characterized by using an atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique.

Abstract
The contamination of water sources with heavy metals is a serious challenge that humanity is facing worldwide. The aim of this work was to evaluate and remediate the metal pollution in groundwater and greywater resources from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In addition, we investigated the application of ultrasonic power before adsorption to assess the dispersion of renewable carbon from mixed-waste sources (RC-MWS) as an adsorbent and enhance the water purification process. The renewable carbon adsorbent showed high ability to adsorb Pb(II), Zn(II), Cu(II), and Fe(II) from samples of the actual water under study. The conditions for the remediation of water polluted with heavy metals by adsorptive-separation were investigated, including the pH of the adsorption solution, the concentration of the heavy metal(s) under study, and the competition at the adsorption sites. The enhanced adsorption process exhibited the best performance at a pH of 6 and room temperature, and with a contact time of 60 min. Kinetic studies showed that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model was fitted with the adsorption of Pb(II), Zn(II), Cu(II), and Fe(II) onto the RC-MWS. The adsorption data were well fitted by Langmuir isotherms. The Freundlich isotherm was slightly fitted in the cases of Cu(II), Zn(II), and Fe(II), but not in the cases of Pb(II). The developed adsorption process was successfully applied to actual water samples, including water samples from Deria and Mozahemia and samples from clothes and car washing centers in Riyadh city.

Abstract
Process intensification through the combined use of electrodialysis (ED) and ion-exchange resin (IER) hybrid process, called continuous electropermutation (CEP), was employed to remove Ni(II) cations from water. To carry out this process, Amberjet 1200 H cation-exchange resin was introduced into the feed compartment of the ED cell. The applied electrical field improves the mobility of species and ensures a continuous resin activation which is a main drawback in IER process. Furthermore, the IER incorporated in the ED cell enhances the conductivity of the feed water, therefore it extends the range of ED which could be applied for the recovery of ions from very low concentration wastewaters. The effects of some factors such as the type of regenerating electrolyte, current density, quantity of resin incorporated in the conducting space and concentration of Ni(II) at the inlet were investigated. The efficiency of CEP and ED for Ni(II) removal was expressed in terms of recovery rate and concentration factor. In CEP process, recovery rates of 99% were found with a 40 ppm Ni(II) concentration and an applied current density of 2 mA.cm-2 resulting in an outlet Ni(II) concentration lower than 1 ppm, against 73.69% in conventional ED. Moreover, in CEP Ni(II) cation was recovered in receiver compartment more than the feed solution with concentration factor more than 10 against 0.39 in ED. On the other hand, the voltage of ED cell was found to increase due to the lower conductivity in the feed compartment compared with that of CEP. In CEP, the highest concentration factor was found at an applied current density of 2.7 mA.cm-2 which reached 41.26. Finally, with increasing Ni(II) feed inlet concentration, there was a trade-off between obtaining a high Ni(II) concentration in the receiver compartment and a low Ni(II) concentration at the outlet of feed compartment.

Abstract
A novel adsorbent based on N-Aminorhodanine modified chitosan hydrogel was synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial and copper ions removal from aqueous systems. N-Aminorhodanine was reacted with glutaraldehyde to yield Schiff base followed by reaction with chitosan to obtain the new hydrogel adsorbent. The new adsorbent was analyzed using FTIR, 1H NMR, XRD, TGA, HR-SEM and EDX in addition to the swelling behavior. The maximum adsorption capacities of chitosan and modified chitosan for copper ions were 38 and 62.5 mg/g respectively. The adsorption isotherm belongs Freundlich model and pseudo second order kinetics regime. The adsorption was reach to maximum within 15 min for modified chitosan hydrogel while take about 360 min for chitosan. Regeneration of adsorbent showed only 23% decline after 6 cycles which indicate the stability of the new adsorbent and it can be reused several times with good efficiency. N-Aminorhodanine modified chitosan hydrogel showed good activity towards gram positive bacteria.

Abstract
In the present work, waste eggshells were used as a precursor for the synthesis of aragonite crystals through the wet carbonation method. Cadmium (Cd2+) and lead (Pb2+) were removed by the synthesized aragonite from synthetic wastewater. The influence of initial solution pH, contact time, Cd2+ and Pb2+ concentration, and sorbent dosage were evaluated. The major sorption was observed in the first 100 mins and 360 mins for Pb2+and Cd2+ respectively reaching sorption equilibrium at 720 mins (12 hr). The sorption capacity toward Pb2+ was much higher than toward Cd2+. Both heavy metals displayed high sorption capacities at initial pH 6. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model fits well with the experimental data with a higher correlation coefficient R2. Two isotherm models were also evaluated for the best fit with the experimental data obtained. Langmuir isotherm best fits the sorption of the metals on aragonite synthesized from eggshells. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results of sorbent after sorption showed that the mechanism of sorption was dominated by surface precipitation. Therefore, aragonite crystals synthesized from waste eggshells can be a potential substitute source for the removal of Cd2+ and Pb2+ from contaminated water.
