Selective recognition and extraction of iodide from pure water by a tripodal selenoimidazol(ium)-based chalcogen bonding receptor. iScience 2024; 27:108917.

Abstract
A selenium-based tripodal chalcogen bond (ChB) donor TPI-3Se is demonstrated for the recognition and extraction of I- from 100% water medium. NMR and ITC studies with the halides reveal that the ChB donor selectively binds with the large, weakly hydrated I-. Interestingly, I- crystallizes out selectively in the presence of other halides supporting the superiority of the selective recognition of I-. The X-ray structure of the ChB-iodide complex manifests both the μ1 and μ2 coordinated interactions, which is rare in the C-Se···I chalcogen bonding. Furthermore, to validate the selective I- binding potency of TPI-3Se in pure water, comparisons are made with its hydrogen and halogen bond donor analogs. The computational analysis also provides the mode of I- recognition by TPI-3Se. Importantly, this receptor is capable of extracting I- from pure water through selenium sigma-hole and I- interaction with a high degree of efficiency (∼70%).

Abstract
The implantation of medical devices is frequently accompanied by the invasion of bacteria, which may lead to implant failure. Therefore, an intelligent and responsive coating seems particularly essential in hindering implant-associated infections. Herein, a self-defensive antimicrobial coating, accompanied by silk fibroin as a valve, was successfully prepared on the titanium (Ti-Cu@SF) for pH-controlled release of Cu2+. The results showed that the layer could set free massive Cu2+ to strive against E. coli and S. aureus for self-defense when exposed to a slightly acidic condition. By contrary, a little Cu2+ was released in the physiological situation, which could avoid damage to the normal cells and showed excellent in vitro pH-dependent antibiosis. Besides, in vivo experiment confirmed that Ti-Cu@SF could work as an antibacterial material to kill S. aureus keenly and display negligible toxicity in vivo. Consequently, the design provided support for endowing the layer with outstanding biocompatibility and addressing the issue of bacterial infection during the implantation of Ti substrates.

Abstract
Iodine (I2) in the form of iodide ions (I-) is an essential chemical element in the human body. Iodine is a nonmetal that belongs to the VIIA group (halogens) in the periodic table. Over the last couple of centuries, the exponential growth of human society triggered by industrialization coincided with the use of iodine in a wide variety of applications, including chemical and biological processes. However, through these processes, the excess amount of iodine eventually ends up contaminating soil, underground water, and freshwater sources, which results in adverse effects. It enters the food chain and interferes with biological processes with serious physiological consequences in all living organisms, including humans. Existing removal techniques utilize different materials such as metal-organic frameworks, layered double hydroxides, ion-exchange resins, silver, polymers, bismuth, carbon, soil, MXenes, and magnetic-based materials. From our literature survey, it was clear that absorption techniques are the most frequently experimented with. In this Review, we have summarized current advancements in the removal of iodine and iodide from human-made contaminated aqueous waste.

Abstract
Radioactive nuclides such as cesium, ruthenium, and iodine are difficult to remove in radioactive wastewater, which could be removed by coprecipitation of special chemical precipitants. In this study, dynamic Cu/Ag-mordenite (Cu/Ag-MOR) material was synthesized to be treated as the precipitant to selectively adsorb the iodine ion (I-) through controlled chemisorption combined with physical adsorption. XRD, XPS, and FTIR characterization demonstrated the successful modification of the MOR carrier surface by Cu/Ag particles and the high selectivity of the active component Cu (I) on the dynamic Cu/Ag-MOR material. SEM, TEM, and BET methods were used to characterize the Cu/Ag-MOR material, demonstrating these results: the MOR carried a stable porous structure, which allowed the silver to be well dispersed on its surface. The silver improved the copper distribution by being well-coated by the copper species. Furthermore, the analysis of the factors influencing the chemical plating of copper showed that the pH, the concentration of EDTA-2Na and the temperature all influenced the deposition rate of Cu2O. The activation energy for Cu2O deposition in dynamic Cu/Ag-MOR was 20.31 kJ/mol. The highest removal of I- in the presence of dynamic Cu/Ag-MOR could reach 99.1% in the adsorption tests. The adsorption kinetics was under a proposed second-order model, with chemisorption being the controlling step of the reaction. The adsorption/desorption experiments demonstrated the reusability of the nano-sorbent. It was also demonstrated that dynamic Cu/Ag-MOR materials showed good applicability in complex situations where multiple pollutants co-exist.

Abstract
The removal of iodide (I-) from source waters is an effective strategy to minimize the formation of iodinated disinfection by-products (DBPs), which are more toxic than their brominated and chlorinated analogues. In this work, a nanocomposite Ag-D201 was synthesized by multiple in situ reduction of Ag-complex in D201 polymer matrix, to achieve highly efficient removal of iodide from water. Scanning electron microscope /energy dispersive spectrometer characterization showed that uniform cubic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) evenly dispersed in the D201 pores. The equilibrium isotherms data for iodide adsorption onto Ag-D201 was well fitted with Langmuir isotherm with the adsorption capacity of 533 mg/g at neutral pH. The adsorption capacity of Ag-D201 increased with the decrease of pH in acidic aqueous solution, and reached the maximum value of 802 mg/g at pH 2. This was attributed to the oxidization of I-, by dissolved oxygen under the catalysis of AgNPs, to I2 which was finally adsorbed as AgI3. However, the aqueous solutions at pH 7 - 11 could hardly affect the iodide adsorption. The adsorption of I- was barely affected by real water matrixes such as competitive anions (SO42-, NO3-, HCO3-, Cl-) and natural organic matter, of which interference of NOM was offset by the presence of Ca2+. The proposed synergistic mechanism for the excellent performance of iodide adsorption by the absorbent was ascribed to the Donnan membrane effect caused by the D201 resin, the chemisorption of I- by AgNPs, and the catalytic effect of AgNPs.

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

Abstract
Cu-based functional materials are excellent candidates for the elimination of iodine anions. However, the low utilization rate of Cu and its unsatisfactory adsorption performance limit its large-scale practical applications. This paper proposes a co-gelation method to obtain Cu/Al2O3 aerogels with a high specific area (537 m2/g). Cu/Al2O3 aerogels have a hierarchical porous structure and contain a high proportion of Cu (20.5 wt%). The high dispersibility of Cu, which is based on an in-situ gel process, provides conditions for the high-efficiency elimination of iodide anions. We conducted adsorption experiments that demonstrated that the fabricated Cu/Al2O3 aerogel had an ultrahigh adsorption capacity (407.6 mg/g) and a fast adsorption equilibrium time (0.5 h) for iodide anions. Additionally, the Cu/Al2O3 aerogel could selectively capture iodine anions even in the presence of high concentrations of competing ions (NO3-, SO42-, and Cl- at 60 mmol/L). Importantly, the aerogel can operate in a wide pH range of 3-11 without causing secondary pollution. This work demonstrates that low-cost Cu/Al2O3 aerogels exhibit great potential for eliminating radioactive iodine anions.

Abstract
Effective methods of detection and removal of iodide ions (I-) from radioactive wastewater are urgently needed and developing them remains a great challenge. In this work, an Ag+ decorated stable nano-MOF UiO-66-(COOH)2 was developed for the I- to simultaneously capture and sense in aqueous solution. Due to the uncoordinated carboxylate groups on the UiO-66-(COOH)2 framework, Ag+ was successfully incorporated into the MOF and enhanced the intrinsic fluorescence of MOF. After adding iodide ions, Ag+ would be produced, following the formation of AgI. As a result, Ag+@UiO-66-(COOH)2 can be utilized for the removal of I- in aqueous solution, even in the presence of other common ionic ions (NO2-, NO3-, F-, SO42-). The removal capacity as high as 235.5 mg/g was calculated by Langmuir model; moreover, the fluorescence of Ag+@UiO-66-(COOH)2 gradually decreases with the deposition of AgI, which can be quantitatively depicted by a linear equation. The limit of detection toward I- is calculated to be 0.58 ppm.

Abstract
This paper is part of a growing body of research work looking at the synthesis of an optimal adsorbent for the capture and containment of aqueous radioiodine from nuclear fuel reprocessing waste. 32 metalated commercial ion exchange resins were subjected to a two-tier screening assessment for their capabilities in the uptake of iodide from aqueous solutions. The first stage determined that there was appreciable iodide capacity across the adsorbent range (12–220 mg·g−1). Candidates with loading capacities above 40 mg·g−1 were progressed to the second stage of testing, which was a fractional factorial experimental approach. The different adsorbents were treated as discrete variables and concentrations of iodide, co-contaminants and protons (pH) as continuous variables. This gave rise to a range of extreme conditions, which were representative of the industrial challenges of radioiodine abatement. Results were fitted to linear regression models, both for the whole dataset (R2 = 59%) and for individual materials (R2 = 18–82%). The overall model determined that iodide concentration, nitrate concentration, pH and interactions between these factors had significant influences on the uptake. From these results, the top six materials were selected for project progression, with others discounted due to either poor uptake or noticeable iodide salt precipitation behaviour. These candidates exhibited reasonable iodide uptake in most experimental conditions (average of >20 mg·g−1 hydrated mass), comparing favourably with literature values for metallated adsorbents. Ag-loaded Purolite S914 (thiourea functionality) was the overall best-performing material, although some salt precipitation was observed in basic conditions. Matrix effects not withstanding it is recommended that metalated thiourea, bispicolylamine, and aminomethylphosphonic acid functionalized silicas warrant further exploration.

Abstract
Environmental damage from serious nuclear accidents should be urgently restored, which needs the removal of radioactive species. Radioactive iodine isotopes are particularly problematic for human health because they are released in large amounts and retain radioactivity for a substantial time. Herein, we prepare platinum-coated iron nanoparticles (Fe@Pt) as a highly selective and reusable adsorbent for iodine species, i.e., iodide (I-), iodine (I2), and methyl iodide (CH3I). Fe@Pt selectively separates iodine species from seawater and groundwater with a removal efficiency ≥ 99.8%. The maximum adsorption capacity for the iodine atom of all three iodine species was determined to be 25 mg/g. The magnetic properties of Fe@Pt allow for the facile recovery and reuse of Fe@Pt, which remains stable with high efficiency (97.5%) over 100 uses without structural and functional degradation in liquid media. Practical application to the removal of radioactive 129I and feasibility for scale-up using a 20 L system demonstrate that Fe@Pt can function as a reusable adsorbent for the selective removal of iodine species. This systematic procedure is a standard protocol for designing highly active adsorbents for the clean separation and removal of various chemical species dissolved in wastewater.

Abstract
Long-term exposure to excessive iodine via drinking water presents health risks. Moderate oxidation of iodide (I-) to iodine (I2) has a better iodine removal effect than excessive oxidation to iodate (IO3-). This study combines computational and experimental methods to construct a heterogeneous interface with synchronous I- moderate oxidation and I2 adsorption to increase the total iodine removal. Compared to other forms of crystal manganese dioxide (MnO2), theoretical calculations predict that MnO2 with a γ-crystal structure has the lowest adsorption energy, that is, -1.20 eV, and a slight overlap between the conduction and valence bands, which favors electron transfer between I- and Mn(IV) and I2 adsorption. Thus, γ-type MnO2 was designed by adjusting the precursor Mn sources and hydrothermal reaction conditions. The liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography confirmed that the total iodine concentration in water decreased from 173.7 to 36.3 μg/L after 2 h, with 200 mg/L γ-MnO2 dosage lower than the national standard of 0.1 mg/L. A minute proportion of I- in water was converted to IO3- (approximately 1.1 μg/L). The current I- adsorbent performed better than previously reported ones. During iodine removal, most of the I- migrated from water to the surface of γ-MnO2, and the ratio of I- to I2 was determined to be 1:0.6 by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. This study evaluates iodine species transformation and an optimum strategy for heterogeneous interface design; it is promising for treating high-iodine groundwater.

Abstract
Here we show an innovative way to effectively scavenge highly mobile radioiodide and to dramatically reduce its waste volume through a spontaneous phase transformation. Under an anaerobic condition, as metallic copper (II) was favorably associated with bicarbonate (HCO3-) in solution, a cupriferous carbonate compound (malachite) quickly formed, which was redox-sensitive and transformable to a compact crystal of CuI (marshite). The formation of CuI crystal was principally led by the spontaneous Cu-I redox reaction centering around the copper phase over the presence of sulfate (SO42-). The completely transformed CuI crystal was poorly soluble in water and grew to large microcrystals (∼μm) via a remarkable selectivity for I-. Interestingly, this redox-induced iodide crystallization was rather promoted over the existence of anionic competitors (e.g., HCO3- and SO42-), which usually exist in wastewater and natural water. Unlike the conventional methods, these competing anions positively behaved in our system by supporting that the initial malachite was more apt to be reactive to largely attract highly mobile I-. Under practical environments with various anions, such a selective I- uptake and fixation within a compact crystalline space will be a promising way to effectively remove I- in a great capacity.

Abstract
Iodine-129 poses a significant challenge in the drive towards lowering radionuclide emissions from used nuclear fuel recycling operations. Various techniques are employed for capture of gaseous iodine species, but it is also present, mainly as iodide anions, in problematic residual aqueous wastestreams, which have stimulated research interest in technologies for adsorption and retention of the radioiodine. This removal effort requires specialised adsorbents, which use soft metals to create selectivity in the challenging chemical conditions. A review of the literature, at laboratory scale, reveals a number of organic, inorganic and hybrid adsorbent matrices have been investigated for this purpose. They are functionalised principally by Ag metal, but also Bi, Cu and Pb, using numerous synthetic strategies. The iodide capacity of the adsorbents varies from 13 to 430 mg g−1, with ion-exchange resins and titanates displaying the highest maximum uptakes. Kinetics of adsorption are often slow, requiring several days to reach equilibrium, although some ligated metal ion and metal nanoparticle systems can equilibrate in < 1 h. Ag-loaded materials generally exhibit superior selectivity for iodide verses other common anions, but more consideration is required of how these materials would function successfully in industrial operation; specifically their performance in dynamic column experiments and stability of the bound radioiodine in the conversion to final wasteform and subsequent geological storage.

Abstract
129I and 79Se are potentially important anionic radionuclides in safety assessments due to their high mobility, radiotoxicity, and long half life's (1.7 × 107 and 3.27 × 105 years, respectively). This study is interested in the sorption of 131I and 75Se radionuclides onto magnesium iron hydrotalcite (Mg/Fe HTlc). Mg/Fe HTlc was prepared by co-precipitation technique and characterized using different analytical tools such as FT-IR, XRD, XRF, TGA & DTA, SEM, and BET. Results obtained from this study showed that the adsorption process was a very fast equilibrium time (20 min). The distribution coefficient values as a function of pH have high separation factors for 131I at all different pHs. Reaction kinetic obeys the pseudo-second-order model. Maximum sorption capacity for 131I and 75Se has the values 21.45, and 9.25 mg/g respectively. Sorption isotherms are more relevant to a Langmuir isotherm. The % removal of 131I is decreased by increasing the concentration of competing species. The investigation evidenced that the prepared sorbent is suitable for the removal of 131I and 75Se from radioactive waste and could be considered potential material for purification of effluent polluted with these radionuclides.

Abstract
Imaging an adsorption reaction taking place at the single-particle level is a promising avenue for fundamentally understanding the adsorption mechanism. Here, we employ a dark-field microscopy (DFM) method for in situ imaging the adsorption process of I- on single Cu2O microparticles to reveal the acid activation mechanism. Using the time-lapsed DMF imaging, we find that a relatively strong acid is indispensable to trigger the adsorption reaction of I- on single Cu2O microparticle. A hollow microparticle with the increase in size is obtained after the adsorption reaction, causing the enhancement of the scattering intensity. Correlating the change of the scattering light intensity or particle size with adsorption capacity of I-, we quantitatively analyze the selective uptake, slightly heterogeneous adsorption behavior, pH/temperature-dependent adsorption capacity, and adsorption kinetics as well as isotherms of individual Cu2O microparticles for I-. Our observations demonstrate that the acid-initiated Kirkendall effect is responsible for the high-reaction activity of single Cu2O microparticles for adsorption of I- in the acidic environment, through breaking the unfavorable lattice energy between Cu2O and CuI as well as generating high-active hollow intermediate microparticle.

Abstract
Studies on the elimination of iodide anions (I-) by Cu-based adsorbents have been conducted for decades, however its unsatisfactory adsorption performance and its non-reusability are still the main obstacles for large-scale practical applications. Here, an efficient technique was proposed for the elimination of iodide using nanowhisker zero-valent copper (nwZVC) decorated ZnO nanocomposites obtained by two steps pyrolysis of Cu-Zn bimetal ZIFs precursors. The as-synthesized materials were extensively characterized and the results clearly revealed that nanoscale ZVC were well-dispersed in the ZnO matrix, and the morphology and the amount of nanoscale ZVC could be tuned by adjusting the molar ratio of Cu/Zn in ZIF precursors. The following batch adsorption experiments demonstrated that the resultant materials exhibited high adsorption capacity of 270.8 mg g-1 under condition of adequate oxygen, as well as high selectivity, strong acidity resistance and an excellent reusability. The mechanism investigations revealed that the elimination of I- by as-fabricated materials involved adsorption process coupled with oxidation, and the existence of nwZVC was responsible for this since nwZVC could activate molecular oxygen to generate H2O2 accompanied by the release of Cu+, thus leading to I- adsorbed by the released Cu+ and oxidized by the H2O2.

Abstract
We developed a Cu/Cu2O-immobilized filter-type adsorbent for efficient iodide anion removal. A cellulose filter (CF) was used as a support, and its surface was modified using acrylic acid to enhance copper immobilization. The modified filter (CF-AA) exhibited 10x higher copper adsorption than the unmodified filter. Cu/Cu2O was prepared on CF-AA by using a simple hydrothermal method to obtain CF-AA-Cu, and the prepared Cu/Cu2O was characterized with scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. While CF and Cu2O themselves exhibited limited iodide adsorption performance, CF-AA-Cu exhibited fast adsorption kinetics with a half-life of 60 min as well as a high adsorption capacity of 10.32 mg/g, as obtained using the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Moreover, it exhibited high selectivity for iodide when high concentrations of other anions were present. The adsorption mechanism was proved by means of material characterization before and after adsorption. The coexistence of Cu0, Cu+, and Cu2+ in CF-AA-Cu make it effective in broader pH conditions via the redox reaction between Cu0 and Cu2+. Overall, iodide adsorbents in the form of filters with high adsorption capacity, selectivity, and ability over a wide pH range are potentially useful for removing iodide from water.

Abstract
TiO2/cement composites were prepared by a spraying method to degrade organic pollutants. After coated with waterproof liquid, pure cement pastes/mortars were sprayed with TiO2 suspensions with different TiO2 contents and spraying times. Photocatalytic properties, mechanical strength and durability were studied. Maximum photocatalytic activity and uniform TiO2 distribution were achieved at the optimal conditions of 10 wt% TiO2 content in suspension and 3 spraying times. The TiO2/cement pastes had better degradation performance over Rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB) than that over methyl orange (MO). After 20 times of cycling degradation, the photocatalytic efficiencies had no significant reduction. The TiO2/cement mortars had good mechanical strengths, meeting the mechanical demands of wastewater treatment tanks. In durability, the TiO2/cement mortars had better water penetration resistance, chloride penetration resistance and anti-carbonation than pure cement mortars.

Abstract
In this work a natural zeolite was modified with silver following two different methods to derive Ag2O and Ag0 nanocomposites. The materials were fully characterized and the results showed that both materials were decorated with nanoparticles of size of 5-25 nm. The natural and modified zeolites were used for the removal of iodide from aqueous solutions of initial concentration of 30-1400 ppm. Natural zeolite showed no affinity for iodide while silver forms were very efficient reaching a capacity of up to 132 mg/g. Post-adsorption characterizations showed that AgI was formed on the surface of the modified zeolites and the amount of iodide removed was higher than expected based on the silver content. A combination of experimental data and characterizations indicate that the excess iodide is most probably related to negatively charged AgI colloids and Ag-I complexes forming in the solution as well as on the surface of the modified zeolites.

Abstract
Magnetic Mg/Al layered double hydroxides (LDH) with three cationic ratios (Mg/Al = 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1) were successfully synthesized and utilized for the first time in an iodide adsorption study. The effects of the Mg/Al ratio of LDH on iodide adsorption were investigated, and physicochemical properties of synthetic LDHs depending on Mg/Al ratio were confirmed by XRD, TEM, ICP-OES, VSM, Zeta-potential, and BET analyses. The ferrimagnetic property was well preserved even after a coating of LDH on magnetite irrespective of the Mg/Al ratio. Among the three Mg/Al ratios, the calcined Fe3O4@4:1 Mg/Al LDH exhibited excellent performance for iodide removal with 105.04 mg/g of the maximum iodide adsorption capacity due to its wide interlayer spacing and largest BET surface area. In the presence of competing carbonate anions, the Fe3O4@4:1 LDH showed removal rate of >80% at a dosage of over 3 g/L solid to liquid ratio. The recyclability test of Fe3O4@4:1 LDH showed that the removal performance for iodide is maintained at >80% even during the first to the fourth cycles. These results demonstrated that the magnetic Mg/Al LDH adsorbent can be effectively utilized for remediation of radioactive iodide anions with high efficiency and economics.

Abstract
The Cu2S-decorated Cu2O nanocomposites were synthesized by a facile co-precipitation and calcination method, and used as adsorbent and photocatalyst to remove organic pollutants from wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to investigate the influences of molar ratio of Cu2O to Cu2S, initial solution pH, coexisting anion and temperature on the adsorption performances. As-obtained Cu2O/Cu2S-9/1 nanocomposite with high specific surface area (45.88 m2/g) exhibited superior adsorption ability towards Congo red, methyl orange and tetracycline in aqueous solution. The adsorption of organics onto the nanocomposite was a spontaneous and exothermic process, and the adsorption processes could be well described by the Freundlich isothermic and Pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The Cu2O/Cu2S-9/1 nanocomposite also showed excellent photocatalytic degradation activities for organic pollutants. Optical properties characterization suggested that the decoration of Cu2S could effectively enhance visible-light absorption and inhibit the recombination of photo-generated electron-hole pairs. ESR tests and trapping experiments of reactive species indicated that both superoxide radicals (O2-) and holes (h+) were crucial for the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. Moreover, the photocatalytic efficiency of Cu2O/Cu2S-9/1 nanocomposite had no significant decrease even after four consecutive runs. The bifunctional nanocomposite as adsorbent and photocatalyst presents a great potential in treating organic-contaminated wastewater.

Abstract
To further improve the removal ability of layered double hydroxide (LDH) for iodide (I-) anions from wastewater, we prepared hierarchically porous Cu5Mg10Al5-LDH and used as a matrix for in suit growth of Cu/Cu2O on its surface, forming Cu/Cu2O-LDH, which was characterized and applied as an adsorbent. Results displayed high I- saturation uptake capability (137.8 mg/g) of Cu/Cu2O-LDH compared with Cu5Mg10Al5-LDH (26.4 mg/g) even thermal activated LDH (76.1 mg/g). Thermodynamic analysis showed that the reaction between I- anions and Cu/Cu2O-LDH is a spontaneous and exothermic. Uptake kinetics analysis exhibited that adsorption equilibrium can be reached after 265 min. Additionally, the adsorbent showed satisfactory selectivity in the presence of competitive anions (e.g., SO42-), and could achieve good adsorption performance in a wide pH range of 3-8. A cooperative adsorption mechanism was proposed on the basis of the following two aspects: (1) ion exchange between iodide and interlayer anions; (2) the adsorption performance of Cu, Cu(II) and Cu2O for I-. Meanwhile, the difference between the adsorption mechanism of Cu/Cu2O-LDH, Cu5Mg10Al5-LDH and Cu5Mg10Al5-CLDH adsorbents was also elaborated and verified.

Abstract
Radioactive iodine waste from nuclear plant became the severe environmental problem and led to the public health concern. The cross-linked chitosan adsorbed iodide anions through the electrical attraction, yet performing limited-efficiently. Targeting as the better adsorption, the modified chitosan sorbent as AgCl@CM (silver chloride entrapped in the cross-linked chitosan microspheres) for iodine adsorption was proposed and implemented by chemisorption from AgCl and physisorption from chitosan via the improved emulsion method (emulsions mixing-collision and polymerization). With the broad application from pH 2 to pH 10, the spherical AgCl@CM (from 0.20 g silver nitrate) performed the I127 anions (instead of radioactive iodine) adsorption efficiency of higher than 90 % in 20 min, with the maximum adsorption capacity of 1.5267 mmol/g, well-fitting with the pseudo-first-order model and Sips isothermal model. AgCl@CM also performed I127 adsorption with the significant selectivity relative to Cl-. The micro-spherical AgCl@CM sorbents were therefore prospective-effectively for iodine waste water treatment.

Abstract
For the pollution of radioactive materials, it is of great importance to develop efficient adsorbents for radioactive iodine adsorption in aqueous solution. In this work, a simple and green strategy was developed to construct hydrophobic surface on natural cotton fibers (n-CF) based on organic-soluble carbon dots (OCDs) for the first time. The results demonstrated the successful constructed hydrophobic n-CF@OCDs expressed excellent stability and selectivity for iodine (I2) adsorption in water. The maximum adsorption capacity for I2 on n-CF@OCDs is calculated to be 190.1 mg g-1, which is about 6.8 times higher than that of n-CF (28.1 mg g-1), this highly I2 adsorption efficiency should be attributed to the hydrophobic properties of adsorbent. The adsorption mechanism was also discussed in this work. In addition, the adsorbed I2 could be desorbed easily with a simple reductive process at ambient conditions, which can lead to not only the restore of I2 but also the recycling of adsorbent, illustrating their good practicability. Furthermore, this universal strategy can also be used for construction of hydrophobic surface on various natural biomaterials, demonstrating its potential application in constructing of hydrophobic surface and used for the adsorption and removal of nonpolar pollutions or radioactive waste in aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Cu2O exhibits excellent adsorption performance for the removal of I− anions from solutions by doping of metallic Ag or Cu. However, the adsorption process only appears on the surface of adsorbents. To further improve the utilization efficiencies of Cu content of adsorbents in the uptake process of I− anions, hollow spheres of metallic Cu, Cu/Cu2O composite and pure Cu2O were prepared by a facile solvothermal method. Samples were characterized and employed for the uptake of I− anions under various experimental conditions. The results show that Cu content can be tuned by adjusting reaction time. After the core was hollowed out, the uptake capacity of the samples increased sharply, and was proportional to the Cu content. Moreover, the optimal uptake was reached within only few hours. Furthermore, the uptake mechanism is proposed by characterization and analysis of the composites after uptake. Cu-based adsorbents have higher uptake performance when solutions are exposed to air, which further verified the proposed uptake mechanism. Finally, hollow Cu-based adsorbents exhibit excellent selectivity for I− anions in the presence of large concentrations of competitive anions, such as Cl−, SO42− and NO3−, and function well in an acidic or neutral environment. Therefore, this study is expected to promote the development of Cu-based adsorbents into a highly efficient adsorbent for the removal of iodide from solutions.

Abstract
Sewage sludge produced from wastewater treatment is a pressing environmental issue. Mismanagement of the massive amount of sewage sludge would threat our valuble surface and shallow ground water resources. Use of activated carbon prepared from carbonization of these sludges for heavy metal removal can not only minimize and stabilize these hazardous materials but also realize resources reuse. In this study, thiol-functionalized activated carbon was synthesized from coal-blended sewage sludge, and its capacity was examined for removing Cu(II), Pb(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) from water. Pyrolysis conditions to prepare activated carbons from the sludge and coal mixture were examined, and the synthesized material was found to achieve the highest BET surface area of 1094 m2/g under 500 °C and 30 min. Batch equilibrium tests indicated that the thiol-functionalized activated carbon had a maximum sorption capacity of 238.1, 96.2, 87.7 and 52.4 mg/g for Pb(II), Cd(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) removal from water, respectively. Findings of this study suggest that thiol-functionalized activated carbon prepared from coal-blended sewage sludge would be a promising sorbent material for heavy metal removal from waters contaminated with Cu(II), Pb(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II).

Abstract
An electron injection type transparent photosensitive Cu2O/carbon quantum dot (C QD)/ZnO p-n junction film was prepared by a simple route in which, successively, the ZnO film was prepared by a sputtering process, the C QDs and Cu2O were prepared by hydrothermal synthetic and chemical methods, then the C QDs and Cu2O were introduced onto the surface of the ZnO film. The results indicated that the C QDs and Cu2O were well combined with the ZnO film. The transparency and photosensitivity of this film were investigated, and exhibited an obvious photosensitive enhancement compared with those of the unmodified film. Through analysis, this enhancement of the photoconductivity could be attributed to the remarkable Cu2O/ZnO p-n junction and C QDs with unique up-converted photoluminescence.

Abstract
Ag2O nanoparticles anchored on the Mg(OH)2 nanoplates (Ag2O@Mg(OH)2) were successfully prepared by a facile one-step method, which combined the Mg(OH)2 formation with Ag2O deposition. The synthesized products were characterized by a wide range of techniques including powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), and nitrogen physisorption analysis. It was found that Ag2O nanoparticles anchored on the Mg(OH)2 nanoplates show good dispersion and less aggregation relative to the single Ag2O nanoaggregates. In addition, iodide (I-) removal by the Ag2O@Mg(OH)2 nanocomposite was studied systematically. Batch experiments reveal that the nanocomposite exhibits extremely high I- removal rate (<10min), and I- removal capacity is barely affected by the concurrent anions, such as Cl-, SO42-, CO32- and NO3-. Furthermore, I- and UO22+ could be simultaneously removed by the nanocomposite with high efficiency. Due to the simple synthetic procedure, the excellent removal performances for iodine and uranium, and the easy separation from water, the Ag2O@Mg(OH)2 nanocomposite has real potential for application in radioactive wastewater treatment, especially during episodic environmental crisis.

Abstract
The imino group-contained porous organic polytriphenylamine, which originated from diphenylamine and 1,3,5-tris(4-bromophenyl)benzene, was designedly synthesized though Buchwald-Hartwig coupling reaction. The basic properties including morphologies, structure and thermal stability of the resulting POPs were investigated by scanning electron microscope(SEM), thermo gravimeter analysis (TGA), 13C CP/MAS solid state NMR and Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR). The pore size distribution of POPs present uniform mesoporous of sizes less than 50nm. Scanning electron microscope images show that the resulting POPs formed as an aggregation composed of nanospheres. The POPs were employed as a physicochemical stable porous medium for removal of radioactive iodine and an iodine uptake of up to 382wt% was obtained. To our knowledge, this is one of the highest adsorption value reported to date. Based on these findings, the resulting POPs shows great potential in the removal of radioactive iodine at different states, through a green, environmentally friendly, and sustainable way.

Abstract
To further improve the capacity of Cu2O to absorb I- anions from solution, and to understand the difference between the adsorption mechanisms of Ag/Cu2O and Cu/Cu2O adsorbents, bimetallic AgCu was doped into Cu2O through a facile solvothermal route. Samples were characterized and employed to adsorb I- anions under different experimental conditions. The results show that the Cu content can be tuned by adding different volumes of Ag sols. After doping bimetallic AgCu, the adsorption capacity of the samples can be increased from 0.02 mmol g-1 to 0.52 mmol g-1. Moreover, the optimal adsorption is reached within only 240 min. Meanwhile, the difference between the adsorption mechanisms of Ag/Cu2O and Cu/Cu2O adsorbents was verified, and the cooperative adsorption mechanism of the AgCu/Cu2O hybrid was proposed and verified. In addition, the AgCu/Cu2O hybrid showed excellent selectivity, e.g., its adsorption efficiencies are 85.1%, 81.9%, 85.9% and 85.7% in the presence of the Cl-, CO32-, SO42- and NO3- competitive anions, respectively. Furthermore, the AgCu/Cu2O hybrid can worked well in other harsh environments (e.g., acidic, alkaline and seawater environments). Therefore, this study is expected to promote the development of Cu2O into a highly efficient adsorbent for the removal of iodide from solution.
