THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 929:172602. [PMID: 38653411 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
The metalloids arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) belong to the pnictogen group of the periodic table; they share many characteristics, including their toxic and carcinogenic properties; and rank as high-priority pollutants in the United States and the European Union. Adsorption is one of the most effective techniques for removing both elements and desorption, for further reuse, is a part of the process to make adsorption more sustainable and feasible. This review presents the current state of knowledge on arsenic and antimony desorption from exhausted adsorbents previously used in water treatment, that has been reported in the literature. The application of different types of eluents to desorb As and Sb and their desorption performance are described. The regeneration of saturated adsorbents and adsorbate recovery techniques are outlined, including the fate of spent media and possible alternatives for waste disposal of exhausted materials. Future research directions are discussed, as well as current issues including the lack of environmental impact analysis of emerging adsorbents.

Moed NM, Ku Y, Hsu TH. Regeneration of As(V)-loaded granular activated carbon through electrocoagulation. WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2024; 96:e10988. [PMID: 38314946 DOI: 10.1002/wer.10988] [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: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
As(V)-loaded granular activated carbon was regenerated through electrocoagulation assisted by elution with NaCl. Adsorption of As(V) by activated carbon was highest at pH 6, and subsequent desorption in water was highest at pH 11, followed by pH 3. Lower initial pH improved arsenic removal during electrocoagulation, NaCl concentration was insignificant, but removal increased with current density. Adding Fe(II) before electrocoagulation led to an improved removal efficiency up to a concentration of 30 mg/L. Regeneration of As(V)-loaded activated carbon increased with current density and time up to a maximum of 85%. An increase in NaCl concentration to 6000 mg/L further improved regeneration to 92%. Regeneration at a lower current density only dropped slightly from 54% to 51% when doubling activated carbon concentration, demonstrating excellent scalability. Repeated adsorption-desorption tests were performed, where 81% and 69% regeneration were obtained after four regenerations with NaCl concentrations of 6000 and 750 mg/L, respectively. NaCl concentration in the tested range did not influence electrocoagulation but improved regeneration through elution. The combination of electrocoagulation and elution facilitated a higher regeneration efficiency, meanwhile removing As(V) from the solution through adsorption on iron hydroxide. PRACTITIONER POINTS: As(V)-loaded activated carbon was regenerated by electrocoagulation with elution. Regeneration increased with regeneration time and current density up to 85%. Addition of 6000 mg/L NaCl further increased regeneration to 93%. Regeneration of 82% was achieved after four regenerations. NaCl did not affect electrocoagulation but improved regeneration through elution.

Abstract
In recent years, the use of magnetic biochar in wastewater treatment has shown significant effects and attracted scholars' attention. However, due to the relatively short research time and the lack of systematic summaries, it is difficult to provide a more in-depth analysis. This study utilizes RStudio and CiteSpace software to comprehensively analyze the research trends and progress of magnetic biochar in wastewater treatment. The analysis of bibliometrics is performed on 551 relevant papers retrieved from the Web of Science, spanning the period between 2011 and 2022. The most influential countries, institutions, journals, disciplinary distribution, and top 10 authors and papers in this field have been identified. The latest dataset has been used for keyword clustering and burst analysis. The results indicated that: (1) Bin Gao is the most influential author in this field, and high-level journals such as Bioresource Technology are more inclined to publish articles in the field of magnetic biochar. (2) Research in this field has predominantly focused on the removal of heavy metals and organic compounds. Keyword burst analysis shows a shift in research direction towards the removal of complex organic pollutants recently. (3) For the future development of magnetic biochar, an environment-friendly approach, economic viability, and joint technology are the directions that need more exploration. Finally, this paper provides a summary of the various adsorption mechanisms of magnetic biochar and several common modification methods, aiming to assist scholars in their research endeavors.

Abstract
As(V) adsorption on granular activated carbon (GAC) and subsequent desorption in dH2O was modeled using the pseudo-first and pseudo-second order kinetic models. Regeneration was achieved by immersing loaded GAC in NaCl, FeCl3, CaCl2 and MgCl2 aqueous solutions. As(V) detection after desorption was highest for NaCl but subsequent adsorption was lowest. Regeneration was highest in FeCl3 solution of pH 2 followed closely by pH 3, but As(V) precipitation appeared superior at pH 3. Molar ratios of Fe, Ca and Mg to As were tested in the range of 0.75:1 to 12:1 where a logarithmic relation was found between the molar ratio and As(V) desorption as diluted in HNO3 and H2O and subsequent adsorption. Precipitation was nearly complete in FeCl3, limited in MgCl2 at a ratio of 12:1 and not observed in CaCl2. While kinetic values were lower than in previous tests, the pseudo-first and pseudo-second order models could accurately describe desorption in CaCl2 and MgCl2 but not in FeCl3 due to precipitation. Desorption in FeCl3 was most effective in precipitating As(V), being highest at a molar ratio of 6:1, but regeneration was slightly higher at a molar ratio of 12:1.

Physicochemical assessment of anionic dye adsorption on bone char using a multilayer statistical physics model. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:67248-67255.

Abstract
The statistical physics modeling is a reliable approach to interpret and understand the adsorption mechanism of both organic and inorganic adsorbates. Herein, a theoretical study of the adsorption mechanism of anionic dyes, namely reactive blue 4 (RB4), acid blue 74 (AB74), and acid blue 25 (AB25), on bone char was performed with a multilayer statistical physics model. This model was applied to fit the equilibrium adsorption data of these dyes at 298-313 K and pH 4. Results indicated that the global number of formed dye layers on the bone char varied from 1.62 to 2.24 for RB4, AB74, and AB25 dyes depending on the solution temperature where the saturation adsorption capacities ranged from 0.08 to 0.12 mmol/g. Dye molecular aggregation was also identified for these dyes where dimers and trimers prevailed at different operating conditions especially for adsorbates RB4 and AB74. Adsorption mechanism of these dyes was multimolecular and endothermic with adsorption energies from 10.6 to 20.8 kJ/mol where van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonding could be present. This investigation contributes to understand the physicochemical variables associated to dye adsorption using low-cost adsorbents as bone char.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 414:125507.

Abstract
It is challenging to efficiently remove arsenate (As(Ⅴ)) and chromate (Cr(Ⅵ)) simultaneously. Herein, ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) was fabricated with averaged pore diameter of 6.5 nm and surface area of 997 m2 g-1. Zerovalent iron (ZVI) impregnation reduced surface area of ZVI/OMC (432 m2 g-1) and increased ID/IG ratio by 13%. Maximal Cr(Ⅵ) and As(Ⅴ) sorption capacities at pH 3 were 0.66 and 0.019 mmol g-1 by OMC, and 0.71 and 0.39 mmol g-1 by ZVI/OMC, respectively. Reduction accounted for over 55% for Cr(Ⅵ) and As(Ⅴ) removal followed by complexation and precipitation. Better ZVI/OMC performance was ascribed to higher electron transfer rate and lower electrical resistance than OMC as per electrochemical analysis. Upon Cr(Ⅵ) introduction, As(Ⅴ) removal increased to 0.28 mmol g-1 by OMC, but decreased to 0.16 mmol g-1 by ZVI/OMC. OMC could preferably reduce CrO42- to Cr3+ by hydroxyl group, which enhanced its zeta potential facilitating As(Ⅴ) sorption. Regarding ZVI/OMC, Fe0 and Fe oxide in ZVI/OMC exhibited better affinity to As(Ⅴ), but the competition for the similar active sites resulted in compromised As(Ⅴ) and Cr(Ⅵ) removal. Thus, the novel OMC is advantageous for removal of binary As(Ⅴ) and Cr(Ⅵ), but ZVI/OMC is robust to detoxify single heavy metal.

Abstract
In this review, bibliometric analysis was made of recent studies and current trends concerning the application of lignocellulosic materials as bioadsorbents for the removal of arsenic from aqueous systems. Evaluation was made of lignocellulosic adsorbents and their chemical characteristics, as well as interactions involved in the adsorption of arsenic, bioadsorbent reusage (desorption and re-adsorption), competition between co-existing ions in multi-element aqueous solutions, and applications of bioadsorbents in batch and continuous systems. Lignocellulosic biomass has been shown to be a promising source of new adsorbents, since it is a low-cost and renewable material. However, there seems to be no commercially available technology that uses bioadsorbents based on lignocellulosic biomass for arsenic removal. In addition, the structural modification of lignocellulosic biomass to improve its adsorption capacity and selectivity has proved to be a suitable strategy, with the service time and the selectivity of the bioadsorbent in the presence of co-existing ions the most critical aspects to be pursued. The competitive adsorption of co-existing anions (PO43-, SO42-, NO3-, and Cl-) by the adsorption sites, as well as life-cycle assessment and cost analysis are rarely reported. Complexation, electrostatic attraction, ion exchange and precipitation were the main interactions involved in the adsorption of arsenic on lignocellulosic materials. However, most studies have failed to prove the nature of the interactions. Macroscopic methods can be useful to evaluate the adsorption mechanism of arsenic on bioadsorbents of complex structure, such as lignocellulosic biomass (modified or not). Nevertheless, the elucidation of the adsorption mechanism requires experiments based on measurements at the microscopic level. The upscaling of biosorption technology for arsenic removal will only be possible through studies that investigate: i) the interactions involved in the adsorption process; ii) the transfer of bench-scale experiments to pilot-scale experiments with real contaminated water with low arsenic concentration; and iii) the life-cycle assessment of biosorbents produced from lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
Most nano-scaled adsorbents have trouble in separating from aqueous solution, thus, a need for new materials of facile separation and predominant adsorption performance has arisen. This present study focused on a novel segregative zirconium-chitosan modified sodium alginate (Zr-CTS/SA) composite preparation and its performance for As(III/V) removal from aqueous solution. The obtained composite presented a spherical structure with a diameter of 2.0-3.0 mm and favorable thermal stability. Experimental data showed that Zr-CTS/SA had considerable adsorbability for As(III) and As(V), the adsorption capacities were enhanced about at least 20 and 6 times separately compared with pristine SA beads. The adsorption processes of As(III) and As(V) could both be described with Langmuir isotherm model and the maximum adsorption capacities reached 43.19 and 76.78 mg g-1, respectively. The kinetic data of As(III) followed the intra-particle diffusion model while As(V) fitted the pseudo-first-order model. Moreover, the adsorption mechanisms of As(III/V) involved ligand exchange with Cl on the surface of Zr-CTS/SA, another reaction pathway for As(V) was the electrostatic attraction with protonated -OH and -NH2 groups. Note that the employment of Zr-CTS/SA in low-concentration arsenic solution exhibited a residue concentration as low as the 10 μg L-1 WHO guideline for drinking water.

Abstract
A bench-scale column experiment was performed to study the removal of 31 selected organic micropollutants (MPs) and phosphorus by lignite, xyloid lignite (Xylit), granular activated carbon (GAC), Polonite® and sand over a period of 12 weeks. In total 29 out of the 31 MPs showed removal efficiency >90% by GAC with an average removal of 97 ± 6%. Xylit and lignite were less efficient with an average removal of 80 ± 28% and 68 ± 29%, respectively. The removal efficiency was found to be impacted by the characterization of the sorbents and physicochemical properties of the compounds, as well as the interaction between the sorbents and compounds. For instance, Xylit and lignite performed well for relatively hydrophobic (log octanol/water partition coefficient (Kow) ≥3) MPs, while the removal efficiency of moderately hydrophilic, highly hydrophilic and negatively charged MPs were lower. The organic sorbents were found to have more functional groups at their surfaces, which might explain the higher adsorption of MPs to these sorbents. The removal of several MPs improved after four weeks in sand, Xylit, GAC and lignite which may be related to increased biological activity and biofilm development. GAC and sand had limited ability to remove phosphorus (12 ± 27% and 14 ± 2%, respectively), while the calcium-silicate material Polonite® precipitated phosphorus efficiently and increased the total phosphorus removal from 12% to 96% after the GAC filter.

Abstract
Arsenic contamination in water bodies is a serious problem and causes various health problems due to which US Environment Protection Agency (USEPA) set its maximum permissible limit of 10 ppb. The present review article starts with the removal of toxic arsenic using adsorbents prepared from easily available waste materials. Adsorbent either commercial or low-cost adsorbent can be used for arsenic removal but recent research was focused on the low-cost adsorbent. Preparation and activation of various adsorbents were discussed. Adsorption capacities, surface area, thermodynamic, and kinetics data of various adsorbents for As(III) and As(V) removal were compiled. Desorption followed by regeneration and reuse of adsorbents is an important step in adsorption and leads to economical process. Various desorbing and regenerating agents were discussed for arsenic decontamination from the adsorbent surface. Strong acids, bases, and salts are the main desorbing agents. Disposal of arsenic-contaminated adsorbent and arsenic waste was also a big problem because of the toxic and leaching effect of arsenic. So, arsenic waste was disposed of by proper stabilization/solidification (S/S) technique by mixing it in Portland cement, iron, ash, etc. to reduce the leaching effect.

Abstract
An innovative coal-based mesoporous activated carbon (NCPAC) was prepared by re-agglomeration, oxidation and two-step activation using coal-blending as precursor. Adsorption capacities of As(III) and As(V) ions (<0.5mg/L) onto NCPAC as a function of pH, adsorbent dose, initial arsenic concentrations, contact time, and adsorption isotherms at 7°C was investigated. The innovative methods promoted total pore volume (1.087cm(3)/g), mesoporosity (64.31%), iodine numbers (1104mg/g), methylene blue (251.8mg/g) and ash contents (15.26%). The adsorption capacities of NCPAC for As(III) and As(V) were found to be strongly dependent on pH and contact time. The optimal pH value was 6. The equilibrium time was 60min for adsorption of As(III) and As(V) by NCPAC. The Langmuir model fitted the experimental data well for both As(III) (R(2)=0.9980) and As(V) (R(2)=0.9988). Maximum adsorption capacities of As(III) and As(V) (C0=0.50mg/L) by NCPAC were 1.491 and 1.760mg/g, respectively.
