Abstract
This study aims to modify raw zeolite with metal oxide nanocomposites to remove nickel (Ni) ions from synthetic wastewater. Novel zeolite-doped magnesium oxide (MgO), iron oxide (Fe3O4), and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocomposites were synthesized by hydrothermal-calcination methods. The novel zeolite-doped metal oxide nanocomposites were used as adsorbents to remove Ni (II) ions from synthetic wastewater. Several advanced techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were applied to study the structural, morphological, chemical, and magnetic properties of the prepared materials. Doped zeolite with ZnO, MgO, and Fe3O4 significantly enhances the removal of Ni (II) ions from synthetic wastewater. The zeolite-doped MgO + Fe3O4 + ZnO sample achieved a Ni (II) ions removal efficiency of 99.6%, compared to 58.9% for raw zeolites. The removal efficiencies of Ni (II) ions (Ci = 30 mg/L) from highest to lowest were 99.56%, 99.53%, 91.4%, 67.8%, and 58.93% by zeolite-doped MgO + Fe3O4 + ZnO, zeolite-doped MgO, zeolite-doped ZnO, zeolite-doped Fe3O4, and raw zeolite sample, respectively. The highest adsorption capacity was 17.13 mg/g of zeolite-doped MgO + Fe3O4 + ZnO samples. The experimental adsorption data collected were fitted using five isotherm models, and four kinetic models. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model provided the best fit for the experimental adsorption data. This suggests that the adsorption process is complex, possibly involving electron interactions between the active sites of doped zeolite and Ni (II) species. The obtained data indicates that zeolite-doped with MgO, Fe3O4, and ZnO notably enhances the adsorptive properties of Ni (II) from synthetic wastewater. The obtained thermodynamic values confirmed that the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic, with increased randomness at the solid-solution interface during the adsorption process.

Abstract
The removal of nickel from wastewater is a significant environmental concern because of its potential hazards to environment. Adsorption is known as an efficient water treatment strategy and there is a growing interest in the development of new adsorbent materials providing rapid adsorption kinetics, cost-effectiveness, and high adsorption capacity. In this study, the feasibility of Mn3O4-MnOOH nanocomposites was evaluated as the adsorbent material for the removal of nickel ions from wastewater. The nanocomposites were prepared using a modified sonochemical method and characterized by XRD analysis and SEM images. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out under different experimental conditions obtained by varying solution pH, adsorbent amount, and contact period. Under the optimum adsorption conditions, the %RE value was recorded around 80% for 10 mg/L Ni(II) ions. The adsorption characteristics were investigated with respect to adsorption isotherms and kinetics. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were used to fit the adsorption data and the results indicated that adsorption of nickel ions onto nanocomposite could be complex and obey both monolayer adsorption and heterogeneous surface. Accordingly, maximum adsorption capacity of nanocomposites were calculated as 12.387 mg/g. Research works comparing the kinetic models of pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and Elovich revealed that chemical sorption plays an important role as the rate-limiting step in the adsorption of nickel ions.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 355:120274.

Abstract
In this study, rooibos tea waste (RTW) incorporated with a binary oxide (BO; Fe2O3-SnO2) has been reported for the first time as a highly efficient adsorbent material for the elimination of Ni(II) ions. The as-synthesised rooibos tea waste-binary oxide (RWBO) composite adsorbent was characterised using miscellaneous techniques such as FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDX, TGA, BET, and XPS. The RWBO was then tested for the removal of Ni(II) in a batch adsorption experiment. The composite adsorbent showed a great removal efficiency of about 99.75% for Ni(II) ions at 45 °C, 180 min agitation time, pH 7, and dosage of 250 mg. The adsorption process was found to be endothermic and spontaneous. Also, the spent adsorbent [RWBO-Ni(II)] was found to be solar light active with a narrow band gap of 1.4 eV. It was further used as a photocatalyst for the photocatalytic abatement of 10 mg/L ciprofloxacin with an extent of degradation of 83% obtained after 150 min. In addition, the extent of mineralisation of the ciprofloxacin by the spent adsorbent as obtained from the TOC data was found to be 64%. Overall, the RWBO composite adsorbent lends itself as an efficient, eco-friendly and promising material for environmental remediation.

Abstract
The current work reports adsorption of Ni(II) using Brassica botrytis leaves (BBL), Brassica botrytis leaves-activated carbon (BBL-AC), Lycopersicon esculentum peel (LEP) and Lycopersicon esculentum peel-activated carbon (LEP-AC). The adsorption of Ni(II) was tested in batch experiments by varying different parameters such as pH, initial metal ion concentration, temperature, adsorbent dosage, and contact time. Thermodynamics and kinetics investigations were performed for Ni removal. The adsorption of Ni(II) was improved by incorporation of activated carbon to the parental Brassica botrytis leaves and Lycopersicon esculentum peel adsorbents. The studies revealed 40 min of equilibrium time for Ni(II) adsorption by different adsorbents. Adsorption of Ni was drastically declined by temperature with a minimum adsorption of 53% observed for BBL. Similarly, solution pH also played a vital role in Ni(II) adsorption by different adsorbents. A 95% adsorption of Ni was recorded in the case of LEP-AC at pH 7. The study concluded with the application of Lycopersicon esculentum peel and Brassica botrytis leaves as active adsorbents for Ni(II) adsorption from aqueous solution.

Abstract
Zeolites obtained from fly ash are characterized by very good anion- and cation-exchange properties and a developed porous structure. This paper presents the results of surface modification studies of synthetic zeolites obtained from calcined coal shale (clay materials). Calcium compounds and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA) were used as modifying substances. The characteristics of the raw material and the zeolite obtained as a result of its synthesis are presented. The surface modification method is described. Furthermore, the results of sorption and desorption of NO3, PO4, and SO4 from raw and modified samples are presented. The results of anion- and cation-exchange capacities for other zeolite types were also compared. Modification of the materials with Ca ions and HDTMA surfactant only improved the sorption of sulfates. The 90% desorption of nitrates, phosphates, and sulphates from the zeolite material without modification indicates a good release capacity of these compounds and their potential use as fertilizer additives.

Abstract
In this study, natural zeolite with maximum adsorption capacity of 3.59 mg g-1 was used for the simultaneous removal of ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N), dissolved chemical oxygen demand (d-COD) and color from raw sanitary landfill leachate (SLL). Saturation, desorption and regeneration tests of zeolite were performed. Optimum adsorption conditions were found for particle size 0.930 µm, stirring rate of 1.18 m s-1, zeolite dosage of 133 g L-1 and pH 8. NH4+-N removal efficiency reached 51.63 ± 0.80% within 2.5 min of contact. NH4+-N adsorption follows mostly the linear pseudo-second order model, with intra-particle diffusion. NH4+-N desorption follows the linear pseudo-second order model. Adsorption data fitted to the Temkin Isotherm in linear and nonlinear forms. Saturation tests showed that zeolite can be efficiently used in three successive adsorption cycles. NH4+-N release from the saturated zeolite was not completely reversible, suggesting that the zeolite may be used as slow ΝΗ4+-Ν releasing fertilizer and an attractive low cost material for the treatment of SLL. NH4+-N removal with the regenerated zeolite exceeded 40% of the initial concentration in the fluid within 2.5 min. SEM analysis showed significant changes through saturation and regeneration. XPS revealed that adsorption of ΝΗ4+-Ν to the zeolite was accompanied by ion exchange.

Abstract
The salinity influence on the adsorptions of Ni and Zn onto phosphate-intercalated nano montmorillonite (PINM) were investigated. Single adsorption isotherm models fitted the single adsorption data well. The adsorption capacity of Ni was higher than that of Zn onto PINM at different salinities. The single adsorption parameters from Langmuir model (QmL and bL) were compared with the binary adsorption (QmL* and bL*). The QmL* of Zn was lower than that of Ni. The simultaneous presence of Ni and Zn decreased the adsorption capacities. The single and binary adsorptions onto PINM were affected by the salinity. The competitive Langmuir model (CLM), P-factor, Murali and Aylmore (M−A) models, and ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) were satisfactory in predicting the binary adsorption data; the CLM showed the best fitting results. Our results showed that the PINM can be used as an active Ni and Zn adsorbent for a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) in the remediation of saline groundwater.

Experimental and Theoretical Analysis of Lead Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ Retention from a Single Salt Using a Hollow Fiber PES Membrane. MEMBRANES 2020; 10:membranes10070136.

Abstract
The present work reports the performance of three types of polyethersulfone (PES) membrane in the removal of highly polluting and toxic lead Pb2+ and cadmium Cd2+ ions from a single salt. This study investigated the effect of operating variables, including pH, types of PES membrane, and feed concentration, on the separation process. The transport parameters and mass transfer coefficient (k) of the membranes were estimated using the combined film theory-solution-diffusion (CFSD), combined film theory-Spiegler-Kedem (CFSK), and combined film theory-finely-porous (CFFP) membrane transport models. Various parameters were used to estimate the enrichment factors, concentration polarization modulus, and Péclet number. The pH values significantly affected the permeation flux of the Pb2+ solution but only had a slight effect on the Cd2+ solution. However, Cd2+ rejection was highly improved by increasing the pH value. The rejection of the PES membranes increased greatly as the heavy metal concentration rose, while the heavy metal concentration moderately affected the permeation flux. The maximum rejection of Pb2+ in a single-salt solution was 99%, 97.5%, and 98% for a feed solution containing 10 mg Pb/L at pH 6, 6.2, and 5.7, for PES1, PES2, and PES3, respectively. The maximum rejection of Cd2+ in single-salt solutions was 78%, 50.2%, and 44% for a feed solution containing 10 mg Cd/L at pH 6.5, 6.2, and 6.5, for PES1, PES2, and PES3, respectively. The analysis of the experimental data using the CFSD, CFSK, and CFFP models showed a good agreement between the theoretical and experimental results. The effective membrane thickness and active skin layer thickness were evaluated using the CFFP model, indicating that the Péclet number is important for determining the mechanism of separation by diffusion.

Abstract
In this work, three kinds of hyperbranched polyamidoamine-palygorskite (PAMAM-Pal) were designed and synthesized by grafting the first generation polyamidoamine (G1.0 PAMAM), G2.0 PAMAM and G3.0 PAMAM onto Pal surfaces, respectively. Then, these PAMAM-Pals were used as additives to prepare polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/hyperbranched polyamidoamine-palygorskite bicomponent composite membranes. The structures of the composite membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermo gravimetric analysis (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field-emission scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption properties of composite membranes to heavy metal ions was studied, and the results found that the maximum adsorption capacities for Cu(II), Ni(II) and Cd(II) could reach 155.19 mg/g, 124.28 mg/g and 125.55 mg/g, respectively, for the PVDF/G3.0 PAMAM-Pal membrane, while only 23.70 mg/g, 17.74 mg/g and 14.87 mg/g could be obtained for unmodified membranes in the same conditions. The high adsorption capacity can be ascribed to the large number of amine-terminated groups, amide groups and carbonyl groups of the composite membrane. The above results indicated that the prepared composite membrane has a high adsorption capacity for heavy metal ions removal in water treatment.

Abstract
High-silica zeolites have been found to be effective adsorbents for the removal of organic micro-pollutants (OMPs) from impaired water, including various pharmaceuticals, personal care products, industrial chemicals, etc. In this review, the properties and fundamentals of high-silica zeolites are summarised. Recent research on mechanisms and efficiencies of OMP adsorption by high-silica zeolites are reviewed to assess the potential opportunities and challenges for the application of high-silica zeolites for OMP adsorption in water treatment. It is concluded that the adsorption capacities are well-related to surface hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity and structural features, e.g. micropore volume and pore size of high-silica zeolites, as well as the properties of OMPs. By using high-silica zeolites, the undesired competitive adsorption of background organic matter (BOM) in natural water could potentially be prevented. In addition, oxidative regeneration could be applied on-site to restore the adsorption capacity of zeolites for OMPs and prevent the toxic residues from re-entering the environment.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to appraise the efficiencies of polyurethane ethylene sorbent (PES) and vinyl acetate sorbent (VAS) for nickel (Ni) adsorption. Process variables, i.e. Ni(II) ions initial concentration, pH, contact time and adsorbent dosage were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) approach. The Ni(II) adsorption was fitted to the kinetic models (pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order) and adsorption isotherms (Freundlich and Langmuir). At optimum conditions of process variables, 171.99 mg/g (64.7%) and 388.08 mg/g (92.7%) Ni(II) was adsorbed onto PES and VAS, respectively. The RSM analysis revealed that maximum Ni(II) adsorption can be achieved at 299 mg/L Ni(II) ions initial concentration, 4.5 pH, 934 min contact time and 1.3 g adsorbent dosage levels for PES, whereas the optimum values for VAS were found to be 402 mg/L Ni(II) ions initial concentration, 4.6 pH, 881 min contact time and 1.2 g adsorbent dosage, respectively. The -OH and -C = O- were involved in the Ni(II) adsorption onto PES and VAS adsorbents. At optimum levels, up to 53.67% and 80.0% Ni(II) was removed from chemical industry wastewater using PES and VAS, respectively, which suggest that PES and VAS could possibly be used for Ni(II) adsorption from industrial wastewater.

Abstract
Among various methods adsorption can be efficiently employed for the treatment of heavy metal ions contaminated wastewater. In this context the authors reviewed variety of adsorbents used by various researchers for the removal of nickel(II) ions from aqueous environment. One of the objectives of this review article is to assemble the scattered available enlightenment on a wide range of potentially effective adsorbents for nickel(II) ions removal. This work critically assessed existing knowledge and research on the uptake of nickel by various adsorbents such as activated carbon, non-conventional low-cost materials, nanomaterials, composites and nanocomposites. The system's performance is evaluated with respect to the overall metal removal and the adsorption capacity. In addition, the equilibrium adsorption isotherms, kinetics and thermodynamics data as well as various optimal experimental conditions (solution pH, equilibrium contact time and dosage of adsorbent) of different adsorbents towards Ni(II) ions were also analyzed. It is evident from a literature survey of more than 190 published articles that agricultural solid waste materials, natural materials and biosorbents have demonstrated outstanding adsorption capabilities for Ni(II) ions.

Abstract
High nickel (Ni) levels exert toxic effects on plant growth and plant water content, thus affecting photosynthesis. In a pot experiment, we investigated the effect of the Ni concentration on the physiological characteristics of the Ni hyperaccumulator Alyssoides utriculata when grown on a vermiculite substrate in the presence of different external Ni concentrations (0-500 mg Ni L(-1)). The results showed that the Ni concentration was higher in leaves than in roots, as evidenced by a translocation factor = 3 and a bioconcentration factor = 10. At the highest concentration tested (500 mg Ni L(-1)), A. utriculata accumulated 1100 mg Ni per kilogram in its leaves, without an effects on its biomass. Plant water content increased significantly with Ni accumulation. Ni treatment did not, or only slightly, affected chlorophyll fluorescence parameters. The photosynthetic efficiency (FV/FM) of A. utriculata was stable between Ni treatments (always ≥ 0.8) and the photosynthetic performance of the plant under Ni stress remained high (performance index = 1.5). These findings support that A. utriculata has several mechanisms to avoid severe damage to its photosynthetic apparatus, confirming the tolerance of this species to Ni under hyperaccumulation.

Abstract
Activated carbon was prepared from Enteromorpha prolifera (EP) by H3PO4 activation in the presence of doped cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), producing EPAC-CTAB. The thermal decomposition process of the activated carbon substrate was identified by thermo-gravimetric analysis. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), N2 adsorption/desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Boehm titration, and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) were employed to characterize the physicochemical properties of native EPAC and EPAC-CTAB. EPAC-CTAB exhibited smaller surface area (689.0m(2)/g) and lower total pore volume (0.361cm(3)/g) than those of EPAC (1045.8m(2)/g and 1.048cm(3)/g), while the number of acidic groups, oxygen and nitrogen groups on the surface of EPAC-CTAB increased through CTAB doping. The batch kinetics and isotherm adsorption studies of nickel(II) onto the adsorbents were examined and agreed well with the pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacity determined from the Langmuir model was 16.9mg/g for EPAC and 49.8mg/g for EPAC-CTAB. Under acidic condition, the adsorption of nickel(II) onto EPAC and EPAC-CTAB was hindered due to ion competition and electrostatic repulsion. The results indicated that using CTAB as a dopant for EPAC modification could markedly enhance the nickel(II) removal.

Abstract
A novel nickel (II) hexacyanoferrate (III) functionalized agricultural residue-walnut shell (Ni(II)HCF(III)-WS) was developed to selectively remove cesium ion (Cs(+)) from aqueous solutions. This paper showed the first integral study on Cs(+) removal behavior and waste reduction analysis by using biomass adsorption material. The results indicated that the removal process was rapid and reached saturation within 2h. As a special characteristic of Ni(II)HCF(III)-WS, acidic condition was preferred for Cs(+) removal, which was useful for extending the application scope of the prepared biomass material in treating acidic radioactive liquid waste. The newly developed Ni(II)HCF(III)-WS could selectively remove Cs(+) though the coexisting ions (Na(+) and K(+) in this study) exhibited negative effects. In addition, approximately 99.8% (in volume) of the liquid waste was reduced by using Ni(II)HCF(III)-WS and furthermore 91.9% (in volume) of the spent biomass material (Cs-Ni(II)HCF(III)-WS) was reduced after incineration (at 500°C for 2h). Due to its relatively high distribution coefficient and significant volume reduction, Ni(II)HCF(III)-WS is expected to be a promising material for Cs(+) removal in practice.

Abstract
In this work an Iranian natural clinoptilolite tuff was pre-treated and changed to the micro (MCP) and nano (NCP) particles by mechanical method. Modification of micro and nano particles and also their Ni-exchanged forms were done by dimethylglyoxime (DMG). The raw and modified samples were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, BET, TG-DTG and energy dispersive analysis X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX). Removal of Ni(II) by modified and unmodified samples was investigated in batch procedure. It was found that NCP-DMG has higher capacity for removal of Ni(II). The effects of analytical parameters such as pH, dose of DMG, concentration of nickel solution, contact time and selectivity were studied and the optimal operation parameters were found as follows: pHPZC: 7.6, CNi(II): 0.01 M, contact time: 360 min and DMG dosage: 5mM. The results of selectivity experiments showed that the modified zeolite has a good selectivity for nickel in the presence of different multivalent cations. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were adopted to describe the adsorption isotherms. Adsorption isotherms of Ni(II) ions could be best modelled by Langmuir equation, that indicate the monolayer sorption of Ni(II). Comparison of two kinetic models indicates that the adsorption kinetic can be well described by the pseudo-second-order rate equation that indicates that the rate limiting step for the process involves chemical reaction. The negative ΔH and ΔG indicate an exothermic and spontaneously process. The negative ΔS indicates that the adsorption of nickel cations from solution occurs with lower amount ion replacement, thus chemisorptions due to complex formation are dominant process in nickel removal.

Abstract
Adsorption and ion exchange can be effectively employed for the treatment of metal-contaminated wastewater streams. The use of low-cost materials as sorbents increases the competitive advantage of the process. Natural and modified minerals have been extensively employed for the removal of nickel and zinc from water and wastewater. This work critically reviews existing knowledge and research on the uptake of nickel and zinc by natural and modified zeolite, bentonite and vermiculite. It focuses on the examination of different parameters affecting the process, system kinetics and equilibrium conditions. The process parameters under investigation are the initial metal concentration, ionic strength, solution pH, adsorbent type, grain size and concentration, temperature, agitation speed, presence of competing ions in the solution and type of adsorbate. The system's performance is evaluated with respect to the overall metal removal and the adsorption capacity. Furthermore, research works comparing the process kinetics with existing reaction kinetic and diffusion models are reviewed as well as works examining the performance of isotherm models against the experimental equilibrium data.

Abstract
This study examined the inhibitory effects of lead, copper, nickel and zinc on heterotrophic biomass and their potential mitigation through the use of low-cost, natural minerals. Activated sludge was placed in batch reactors and specific heavy metal concentrations were added. Subsequently, the biomass specific oxygen uptake rate (sOUR) was determined to assess the level of biomass inhibition. Biomass inhibition by heavy metals followed the order Cu(2+)>Pb(2+)>Zn(2+)>Ni(2+), with copper being the most toxic metal, causing high inhibition of heterotrophic biomass even at relatively low concentrations (i.e. 10 mg·L(-1)). Zn had very small toxic effect at 10 mg·L(-1), while at 40 mg·L(-1) the level of biomass inhibition reached 80%. Nickel stimulated activated sludge activity at concentrations of the order of 10 mg·L(-1). The addition of 10 g·L(-1) bentonite and zeolite in activated sludge resulted in the decrease of the inhibitory effect of heavy metals on biomass respiratory activity. In some cases, mineral addition was very favorable as inhibition was reduced from 69-90% to less than 55% and even up to 12%. The beneficial action of minerals is attributed both to the adsorption of heavy metals on the mineral and on the potential aggregation between mineral and sludge particles.

Abstract
In this work the performance of a Membrane bioreactor (MBR) was assessed for the removal of 3-15 mg/l of copper, lead, nickel and zinc from wastewater. The average removal efficiencies accomplished by the MBR system were 80% for Cu(II), 98% for Pb(II), 50% for Ni(II) and 77% for Zn(II). The addition of 5 g/l vermiculite into the biological reactor enhanced metal removal to 88% for copper, 85% for zinc and 60% for nickel due to adsorption of metal ions on the mineral, while it reduced biomass inhibition and increased biomass growth. The metal ions remaining in soluble form penetrated into the permeate, while those attached to sludge flocs were effectively retained by the ultrafiltration membranes. The average heterotrophic biomass inhibition was 50%, while it reduced to 29% when lower metal concentrations were fed into the reactor in the presence of vermiculite. The respective autotrophic biomass inhibition was 70% and 36%. The presence of heavy metals and vermiculite in the mixed liquor adversely impacted on membrane fouling.

Abstract
This work examined the adoption of a sorbent-assisted ultrafiltration (UF) system for the reduction of Pb(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II) from industrial wastewater. In such a system metals were removed via several processes which included precipitation through the formation of hydroxides, formation of precipitates/complexes among the metal ions and the wastewater compounds, adsorption of metals onto minerals (bentonite, zeolite, vermiculite) and retention of insoluble metal species by the UF membranes. At pH=6 the metal removal sequence obtained by the UF system was Pb(II)>Cu(II)>Zn(II)>Ni(II) in mg g⁻¹ with significant amount of lead and copper being removed due to chemical precipitation and formation of precipitates/complexes with wastewater compounds. At this pH, zinc and nickel adsorption onto minerals was significant, particularly when bentonite and vermiculite were employed as adsorbents. Metal adsorption onto zeolite and bentonite followed the sequence Zn(II)>Ni(II)>Cu(II)>Pb(II), while for vermiculite the sequence was Ni(II)>Zn(II)>Cu(II)>Pb(II) in mg g⁻¹. The low amount of Pb(II) and Cu(II) adsorbed by minerals was attributed to the low available lead and copper concentration. At pH=9 the adoption of UF could effectively reduce heavy metals to very low levels. The same was observed at pH=8, provided that minerals were added. The prevailing metal removal process was the formation of precipitates/complexes with wastewater compounds.
