Immobilization of polypyrrole on waste face masks using a novel in-situ-surface polymerization method: removal of Cr(VI) from electroplating wastewater. ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY 2024; 45:3162-3173. [PMID: 37161857 DOI: 10.1080/09593330.2023.2210771] [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: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023]
Abstract
In this work, polypyrrole (PPy) was synthesized on the surface of waste surgical face masks (SFM) with a novel environmentally-friendly in-situ-surface polymerization approach and used as an adsorbent for removing hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)). In this method, the SFM surface was activated using KMnO4, resulting in the immobilization of porous MnO2, on which pyrrole can be polymerized efficiently. The novelty of this method is the presence of the oxidant on the surface before the polymerization step, which results in a better surface modification with polypyrrole. This method provides adsorbents with higher adsorption capacity compared to the conventional polymerization method with ammonium persulfate (APS). The adsorbent prepared at the mass ratios of 1.0 and 2.0; respectively, for KMnO4/SFM and pyrrole/SFM showed the highest performance. The adsorbent characterization revealed the successful polymerization of pyrrole on the surface of SFM. Reusability of the KMnO4 and pyrrole solutions were successful with remarkable results, showing the advantage of this technique compared to the conventional polymerization method with APS. The effect of different factors on the adsorption process was investigated. The removal rate was around 98% under the optimum conditions (pH, 2; adsorbent dosage, 3 g L-1; contact time, 60 min). The equilibrium data were well fitted by Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.9999). Kinetic investigations revealed that the adsorption process fitted well with the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorbent was regenerated for up to five cycles. One of the most important advantages of the proposed method compared to other methods is the reduction of wastewater during the synthesis process.

Remediation through the coordinated use of local rice husk residues for the selective adsorption of iron and nickel in real landfill leachate. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 358:120893. [PMID: 38640761 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120893] [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: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate the prospects of tackling several environmental problems by transforming a local rice husk residue into an effective adsorbent, which was then applied for the treatment of real landfill leachate (LL). The study focused on establishing (i) the effect of simple washing on morphological aspects, (ii) evaluating target adsorption capacity for total iron (Fe) and nickel (Ni), (iii) determining regeneration and reuse potential of the adsorbent and (iv) complying to the requirements of worldwide legislations for reuse of treated LL wastewater. The adsorbent was prepared by employing a simple yet effective purification process that can be performed in situ. The LL was collected post-membrane treatment, and the characterizations revealed high concentrations of Fe, Ni, and organic matter content. The simple washing affected the crystallinity, resulting in structural alterations of the adsorbents, also increasing the porosity and specific surface. The adsorption process for Ni occurred naturally at pH 6, but adjusting the pH to 3 significantly improved removal efficiency and adsorption capacity for total Fe. The kinetics were accurately described by the pseudo-second-order model, while the Langmuir model provided a better fit for the isotherms. The adsorbent was stable for 5 reuses, and the metals adsorbed were recovered through basic leaching. The removal capacities achieved underscore the remarkable effectiveness of the process, ensuring the treated LL wastewater meets rigorous global environmental legislations for safe use in irrigation. Thus, by employing the compelling methods herein optimized it is possible to refer to the of solving three environmental problems at once.

Efficient removal of Cr(VI) contaminant using recoverable silica from volcanic ash as natural adsorbent: Synthesis and activity in the mechanism and kinetic adsorption. Heliyon 2024; 10:e23273. [PMID: 38304819 PMCID: PMC10831607 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Modification of silica purified from the Merapi volcanic ash with magnetic material of Fe3O4 and attachment of cetyl triamine bromide (CTA-Br) on the magnetic cored has been performed to provide recoverable and positive surfaced of natural adsorbent. The magnetic cored was prepared via co-precipitation and CTA-Br attachment was conducted by a facile strategy. Then, the modified adsorbents were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, and FTIR instruments and examined for removing anionic Cr(VI) from the water media. The characterization data confirmed that crystals of Fe3O4 coated by SiO2 that has been bound with CTA-Br have been successfully formed. Additionally, increasing CTA-Br loaded gives thicker lamination on Fe3O4@SiO2/CTA-Br, but the CTA-Br loaded with higher than 0.25 mmol, leads to the coating peeled out. It is also demonstrated that Fe3O4@SiO2/CTA-Br prepared with CTA-Br 0.25 mmol is ideal for Cr(VI) anionic removal, regarding to the highest adsorption and very good separation or recovery process. Moreover, the optimal dose of Fe3O4@SiO2/CTA-Br in the Cr(VI) removal was observed at 0.25 g/20 mL under condition of pH 3 for 60 min. The adsorption of Cr(VI) well fits the Langmuir isotherm model with an adsorption capacity of 3.38 mg g-1 and is in a good agreement with pseudo-second order giving kinetic constant at 0.005 g mg-1 min-1. Thus, it is clear that the natural adsorbent material with recoverable properties for more efficient and wider application of removal Cr(VI) contaminant was expected from this study.

Abstract
Iron Oxide-commercial activated carbon nanocomposite (CAC-IO) was prepared from commercial activated carbon (CAC) by the co-precipitation method, and the resulting nanocomposite was used as an adsorbent to remove hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) ions and Mordant Violet 40 (MV40) dye from wastewater. The produced materials (CAC, CAC after oxidation, and CAC-IO) were comparatively characterized using FTIR, BET, SEM, EDX TEM, VSM, and XRD techniques. The adsorption mechanism of Cr6+ ions and MV40 dye on CAC-IO was examined using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models.. Different models were applied to know the adsorption mechanism and it was obtained that Pseudo-second order fits the experimental data better. This means that the adsorption of the adsorbate on the nanocomposite was chemisorption. The maximum removal percent of Cr6+ ions by CAC-IO nanocomposite was 98.6% determined as 2 g L-1 adsorbent concentration, 100 mg L-1 initial pollutant concentration, solution pH = 1.6, the contact time was 3 h and the temperature was room temperature. The maximum removal percentage of Mordant Violet 40 dye (C.I. 14,745) from its solutions by CAC-IO nanocomposite was 99.92% in 100 mg L-1 of initial dye concentrations, 1.0 g L-1 of adsorbent concentration, solution pH = 2.07, the contact time was 3 h. The MV40 dye adsorption on CAC-IO was the most fitted to the Freundlich isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity was calculated according to the Langmuir model as 833.3 mg g-1 at 2 g L-1 of adsorbent concentration and 400 mg L-1 of initial MV40 dye concentration. The Cr6+ ions adsorption on CAC-IO was more fitted to the Freundlich model with Qmax, equal to 312.50 mg g-1 at 1 g L-1 adsorbent concentration and 400 mg L-1 of Cr6+ ions initial concentrations.

Emerging waste-to-wealth applications of fly ash for environmental remediation: A review. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 227:115800.

Abstract
The considerable increase in world energy consumption owing to rising global population, intercontinental transportation and industrialization has posed numerous environmental concerns. Particularly, in order to meet the required electricity supply, thermal power plants for electricity generation are widely used in many countries. However, an annually excessive quantity of waste fly ash up to 1 billion tones was globally discarded from the combustion of various carbon-containing feedstocks in thermoelectricity plants. About half of the industrially generated fly ash is dumped into landfills and hence causing soil and water contamination. Nonetheless, fly ash still contains many valuable components and possesses outstanding physicochemical properties. Utilizing waste fly ash for producing value-added products has gained significant interests. Therefore, in this work, we reviewed the current implementation of fly ash-derived materials, namely, zeolite and geopolymer as efficient adsorbents for the environmental treatment of flue gas and polluted water. Additionally, the usage of fly ash as a catalyst support for the photodegradation of organic pollutants and reforming processes for the corresponding wastewater remediation and H2 energy generation is thoroughly covered. In comparison with conventional carbon-based adsorbents, fly ash-derived geopolymer and zeolite materials reportedly exhibited greater heavy metal ions removal and reached the maximum adsorption capacity of about 150 mg g-1. As a support for biogas reforming process, fly ash could enhance the activity of Ni catalyst with 96% and 97% of CO2 and CH4 conversions, respectively.

Abstract
Coal fly ash was functionalized and modified with graphene oxide and polyaniline (CFA/GO/PANI nanocomposite) through hydrothermal synthesis, which was used for remediation of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) ions. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of adsorbent dosage, pH, and contact time on the removal of Cr(VI). The ideal pH for this work was 2, and it was used for all other studies. The Cr(VI)-loaded spent adsorbent CFA/GO/PANI + Cr(VI) was reused as a photocatalyst for the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA). The CFA/GO/PANI nanocomposite removed Cr(VI) ions rapidly. The adsorption process was best described by pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Freundlich isotherm model. The CFA/GO/PANI nanocomposite demonstrated a high adsorption capacity of 124.72 mg/g for Cr(VI) removal. In addition, the Cr(VI)-loaded spent adsorbent played a significant role in the photocatalytic degradation of BPA with 86% degradation. The reuse of the Cr(VI)-loaded spent adsorbent as a photocatalyst presents a new solution for the reduction of secondary waste from the adsorption process.

Abstract
Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) represent an emerging class of contaminants. With a potential to negatively impact human health and the ecosystem, existence of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic systems is becoming a worrying concern. Antibiotics is a major class of PhACs and their existence in wastewater signifies a health risk on the long run. With the purpose of competently removing antibiotics from wastewater, cost-effective, and copiously available waste-derived adsorbents were structured. In this study, mango seeds kernel (MSK), both as a pristine biochar (Py-MSK) and as a nano-ceria-laden (Ce-Py-MSK) were applied for the remediation of rifampicin (RIFM) and tigecycline (TIGC). To save time and resources, adsorption experiments were managed using a multivariate-based scheme executing the fractional factorial design (FrFD). Percentage removal (%R) of both antibiotics was exploited in terms of four variables: pH, adsorbent dosage, initial drug concentration, and contact time. Preliminary experiments showed that Ce-Py-MSK has higher adsorption efficiency for both RIFM and TIGC compared to Py-MSK. The %R was 92.36% for RIFM compared to 90.13% for TIGC. With the purpose of comprehending the adsorption process, structural elucidation of both sorbents was performed using FT-IR, SEM, TEM, EDX, and XRD analyses which confirmed the decoration of the adsorbent surface with the nano-ceria. BET analysis revealed that Ce-Py-MSK has a higher surface area (33.83 m2/g) contrasted to the Py-MSK (24.72 m2/g). Isotherm parameters revealed that Freundlich model best fit Ce-Py-MSK-drug interactions. A maximum adsorption capacity (qm) of 102.25 and 49.28 mg/g was attained for RIFM and TIGC, respectively. Adsorption kinetics for both drugs conformed well with both pseudo-second order (PSO) and Elovich models. This study, therefore, has established the suitability of Ce-Py-MSK as a green, sustainable, cost-effective, selective, and efficient adsorbent for the treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater.

Abstract
The presence of heavy metal, chromium (VI), in water environments leads to various diseases in humans, such as cancer, lung tumors, and allergies. This review comparatively examines the use of several adsorbents, such as biosorbents, activated carbon, nanocomposites, and polyaniline (PANI), in terms of the operational parameters (initial chromium (VI) concentration (Co), temperature (T), pH, contact time (t), and adsorbent dosage) to achieve the Langmuir's maximum adsorption capacity (qm) for chromium (VI) adsorption. The study finds that the use of biosorbents (fruit bio-composite, fungus, leave, and oak bark char), activated carbons (HCl-treated dry fruit waste, polyethyleneimine (PEI) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) PEI-KOH alkali-treated rice waste-derived biochar, and KOH/hydrochloric acid (HCl) acid/base-treated commercial), iron-based nanocomposites, magnetic manganese-multiwalled carbon nanotubes nanocomposites, copper-based nanocomposites, graphene oxide functionalized amino acid, and PANI functionalized transition metal are effective in achieving high Langmuir's maximum adsorption capacity (qm) for chromium (VI) adsorption, and that operational parameters such as initial concentration, temperature, pH, contact time, and adsorbent dosage significantly affect the Langmuir's maximum adsorption capacity (qm). Magnetic graphene oxide functionalized amino acid showed the highest experimental and pseudo-second-order kinetic model equilibrium adsorption capacities. The iron oxide functionalized calcium carbonate (IO@CaCO3) nanocomposites showed the highest heterogeneous adsorption capacity. Additionally, Syzygium cumini bark biosorbent is highly effective in treating tannery industrial wastewater with high levels of chromium (VI).

Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate the adsorption performance of activated carbon derived from the leaves of Cordia africana for the removal of Cr (III) from an aqueous solution. The plant sample was collected, washed, dried, grounded, and sieved at 125 μm mesh size. Adsorbent activation was done using H3PO4 at concentrations of 25–85% and pyrolysis temperature of 400–500°C. The activated carbon was characterized by proximate, SEM, BET, and FTIR analyses. A batch adsorption study was conducted to determine the effect of contact time, adsorbent dose, initial chromium concentration, and mixing speed on Cr (III) removal. The regeneration of the activated carbon was investigated by using 1 M of HNO3 as a desorbing solution for seven cycles. At optimum acid concentration and pyrolysis temperature, a surface area of 700 m2/g was recorded. The moisture content, volatile matter, ash composition, fixed carbon, and bulk density of the activated carbon were found to be 5.3%, 24.2%, 6.2%, 64.3%, and 0.75 g/mL, respectively. The SEM and FTIR analyses indicated that the surface morphology was full of cracks and different peaks were associated with plenty of functional groups, respectively. The maximum Cr (III) removal was attained at a contact time of 180 min (89%), adsorbent dose of 1.5 g (54%), initial concentration of 0.6 g/L (47%), and mixing speed of 300 rpm (64%). The equilibrium data were better described by Freundlich isotherm at R2 value of 0.88, which implies that the adsorption process is conducted on a heterogeneous surface. The pseudo-first-order kinetics model with R2 value of 0.99 best fits with the equilibrium data, which implies that physisorption controls the adsorption kinetics. Generally, it can be concluded that this locally prepared adsorbent is promising for the removal of chromium from industrial wastewater, but further factorial approach assessment has to be checked.

Modeling of Hexavalent Chromium Removal with Hydrophobically Modified Cellulose Nanofibers. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14163425.

Abstract
Cellulose nanofibers (CNF) are sustainable nanomaterials, obtained by the mechanical disintegration of cellulose, whose properties make them an interesting adsorbent material due to their high specific area and active groups. CNF are easily functionalized to optimize the performance for different uses. The hypothesis of this work is that hydrophobization can be used to improve their ability as adsorbents. Therefore, hydrophobic CNF was applied to adsorb hexavalent chromium from wastewater. CNF was synthetized by TEMPO-mediated oxidation, followed by mechanical disintegration. Hydrophobization was performed using methyl trimetoxysilane (MTMS) as a hydrophobic coating agent. The adsorption treatment of hexavalent chromium with hydrophobic CNF was optimized by studying the influence of contact time, MTMS dosage (0-3 mmol·g-1 CNF), initial pH of the wastewater (3-9), initial chromium concentration (0.10-50 mg·L-1), and adsorbent dosage (250-1000 mg CNF·L-1). Furthermore, the corresponding adsorption mechanism was identified. Complete adsorption of hexavalent chromium was achieved with CNF hydrophobized with 1.5 mmol MTMS·g-1 CNF with the faster adsorption kinetic, which proved the initial hypothesis that hydrophobic CNF improves the adsorption capacity of hydrophilic CNF. The optimal adsorption conditions were pH 3 and the adsorbent dosage was over 500 mg·L-1. The maximum removal was found for the initial concentrations of hexavalent chromium below 1 mg·L-1 and a maximum adsorption capacity of 70.38 mg·g-1 was achieved. The kinetic study revealed that pseudo-second order kinetics was the best fitting model at a low concentration while the intraparticle diffusion model fit better for higher concentrations, describing a multi-step mechanism of hexavalent chromium onto the adsorbent surface. The Freundlich isotherm was the best adjustment model.

Frescura LM, de Menezes BB, Lütke SF, Funari Junior RA, Dotto GL, da Rosa MB. Reviewing variables and their implications affecting adsorption of Cr(VI) onto activated carbon: an in-depth statistical case study. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:49832-49849. [PMID: 35218491 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-19169-z] [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: 12/01/2021] [Accepted: 02/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Removal of Cr(VI) from the aqueous phase using numerous activated carbons (AC) has been broadly studied in the last decades. Nevertheless, the diversity of activation methods, AC properties, and adsorption conditions precludes the standardization of specific characteristics required to achieve better adsorption results. This work reviewed the pertinent literature on Cr(VI) adsorption onto AC published over the past four decades. Pearson's correlation matrix and principal component analysis (PCA) assisted in identifying the parameters and AC characteristics that have the greatest influence on the maximum adsorption capacity (qm). Two hundred thirty-six adsorption assays were found reporting data on 110 ACs and different parameters. Of these, 39.8% of the studies contemplated the variables qm, pH, temperature (T), surface area (SBET), micropore volume (Vmicro), and mesopore volume (Vmeso), and only 19.5% reported the point of zero charge (pHPZC). Statistical analysis disclosed that SBET and Vmicro have a strong positive correlation with qm, while Vmeso, T, and pH show little or no correlation. The difference between pH and pHPZC (PZCdiff) indicated a significant anticorrelation with qm, thus evidencing that lower PZCdiff values enhance adsorption. The findings are useful for all researchers that work with Cr(VI) adsorption on AC since they provide a start point concerning the required adsorbent characteristics and process conditions to be employed.

Abstract
Nowadays, the scientific interest is focused more and more on the development of new strategies in recycling of waste products as well as on the development of clean technologies due to the increased environmental pollution. In this work we studied the valorization of an expired cheese-tomato flavor corn snack, which is polysaccharide food product, by producing advanced hybrid magnetic materials for environmental remediation purposes. The carbonization-chemical activation of this snack using potassium hydroxide leads to a microporous activated carbon with high surface area (SgBET ~800 m2/g). The magnetic hybrid material was synthesized via an in-situ technique using iron acetate complex as the precursor to produce iron based magnetic nanoparticles. The resulting material retains a fraction of the microporous structure with surface area SgBET ~500 m2/g. Such material consists, of homogenously dispersed magnetic isolated zero valent iron nanoparticles and of iron carbides (Fe3C), into the carbon matrix. The magnetic carbon exhibited high adsorption capacity in Cr(VI) removal applications following a pseudosecond order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacity was 88.382 mgCr(VI)/gAC at pH = 3. Finally, oxidation experiments, in combination with FT-IR, Mössbauer, and VSM measurements indicated that the possible Cr6+ removal mechanism involves oxidation of iron phases and reduction of Cr6+ to Cr3+.

Abstract
In this present study, activated carbons were prepared from rice husks and potato peels by chemical activation with 40% phosphoric acid (H3PO4). The effects of carbonization temperature and impregnation ratio were investigated with a continuous activation period. Physicochemical characteristics such as surface morphology, surface charge, and surface functional groups were assessed. According to X-ray diffraction measurements, the results showed that the activated carbons had identical pHpzc (6.8) and that the activated carbons generated were carbonaceous. The existence of hydroxyl, carbonyl, amines, aromatic, and other functional groups, which are excellent for adsorption, was revealed by surface chemistry studies. Micrographs taken with a scanning electron microscope indicated wide opening pores with a larger mesoporous surface area and many linked pores. Rice husk activated carbon outperformed potato peel activated carbon in laboratory tests. The research has shown that the agro-wastes employed in the study are possible precursors for making locally activated carbons at a low cost, thus resolving the problem of agro-waste disposal.

Abstract
In this study, a low-cost bioadsorbent aluminum metal blended with groundnut shell activated carbon material (Al-GNSC) was used for Cr(VI) adsorption from aqueous solutions. Al-GNSC was prepared and characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopic (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to determine its surface morphology. Batch studies were performed and the optimum conditions for maximum Cr(VI) removal (of 94.2%) were found at pH 4.0, initial concentration 100 mg/L, adsorbent dosage 8 g/L of Cr(VI) solution, and time of contact 50 min. Moreover, the Langmuir isotherm model (maximum adsorption capacity of 13.458 mg/g) was the best fit and favored the mono-layered Cr(VI) adsorption. The kinetic studies reveal that the pseudo-second-order model was the best fit and favored chemisorption as the rate-limiting step. The desorption study revealed that Cr(VI) leached with sodium hydroxide solution acted as a regenerating agent. It is proved that Al-GNSC removes the Cr(VI) content in groundwater samples. The methodology developed using the Al-GNSC adsorbent as an alternative for the adsorption of Cr(VI) ions is remarkably successful in this study.

Abstract
Currently, the growth of tannery industries causes a significant volume of waste disposal to the environment due to harmful Cr(VI). Long-time exposure to Cr(VI) imposes serious hazards on all living organisms. Hence, the treatment of tannery waste to remove Cr(VI) is not a choice but mandatory. Therefore, this study focused on the removal of Cr(VI) from the aqueous solutions via a teff (Eragrostis tef) straw based-activated carbon (TSAC) which was derived from locally available agricultural solid waste, teff straw (TS). The prepared TSAC was characterized using BET, FTIR, SEM, and XRD. A central composite approach-based RSM analysis was undertaken for statistical modeling and optimization for maximized Cr(VI) removal with respect to four important factors, namely, initial concentration of Cr(VI), the dosage of TSAC, pH, and adsorption time. Optimized values for maximizing adsorption of Cr(VI) (95% of removal) were acquired to be initial Cr(VI) concentration: 87.57 mg/L, TSAC dosage: 2.742 g/100 mL, pH: 2.2, and contact time:109 min. The results from the design of the experiment were also analyzed for the significance of the interaction between the selected process parameters. In addition, the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models were found suitable for describing the adsorption data. The adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) on TSAC was 19.48 mg/g. The observed thermodynamic characteristics reveal that Cr(VI) adsorption on TASC is endothermic in nature. From the results, TSAC had shown a potential Cr(VI) efficiency on optimized process conditions that can be exploited effectively as adsorbent for removal of Cr(VI)-contaminated wastes.

Abstract
Zein has drawn attention for its great potential for biodegradability and adsorption of hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) that is a carcinogenic industrial pollutant. Zein is a biopolymer extracted from corn and is used for many purposes, but because of its poor stability in aqueous solution, a novel composite of zein and nylon-6 was used to synthesize a nanofibrous membrane using electrospinning to improve its stability and tensile strength. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the zein/nylon-6 (ZN6) nanofiber membrane showed a smooth, beadless, and continuous structure of the nanofibers, but the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum of pristine and Cr(VI) saturated ZN6 showed that peaks of secondary amide, carbonyl, and hydroxyl functional groups were involved in adsorption. Optimized experimental parameters were obtained with pH 2.0, contact time 60 min, adsorbent dosage 25 mg, and adsorbate concentration 5.0 mg Cr-VI/mL. Experimental results show that the ZN6 nanofibers removed 87% Cr(VI) with an adsorption capacity of 4.73 mg/g at ambient temperature. Also, the Langmuir isotherm fits well, and the adsorption process followed a pseudo-2nd-order kinetics with r2 of 0.90 and 0.99 respectively.

Abstract
Particularly, because of the leakage risk of metal elements from sludge carbon, little attention has been focused on using sludge activated carbon as an adsorbent for the removal of Cr (VI) from contaminated water sources. Herein, a novel sludge carbon derived from dewatered cassava sludge was synthesized by pyrolysis using ZnCl2 as an activator at the optimal conditions. The prepared sludge activated carbon possessed a large BET surface (509.03 m2/g), demonstrating an efficient removal for Cr (VI). Although the time to reach equilibrium was extended by increasing the initial Cr (VI) concentration, the adsorption process was completed within 3 h. The kinetics of adsorption agreed with the Elovich model. The whole adsorption rate was controlled by both film and intra-particle diffusion. The Cr (VI) removal efficiency increased with elevating temperature, and the adsorption equilibrium process followed the Freundlich isotherm model. The adsorption occurred spontaneously with endothermic nature. The removal mechanism of Cr (VI) on the prepared sludge activated carbon depended highly on solution pH, involving pore filling, electrostatic attraction, reduction, and ion exchange. The trace leakage of metal elements after use was confirmed. Therefore, the prepared sludge activated carbon was considered to be a highly potential adsorbent for Cr (VI) removal from contaminated raw water.

Abstract
The present work demonstrates the preparation of biodegradable coconut husk derived activated carbon (CAC) impregnated with bimetallic nanoparticles consisting of zerovalent iron and copper to produce a new adsorbent (Fe0 /Cu-CAC). The new adsorbent was further employed to determine the removal efficiency of Chromium (VI) from aqueous solutions. Chromium (VI) adsorption process by Fe0 /Cu-CAC was found to be favorable at pH ~ 3, attaining 95.28% removal efficiency while its counterpart CAC attained only ~41%. Negative ΔG0 value suggests that the process was thermodynamically spontaneous and ΔH0 was observed to be 8.496 kJ/mol, further corroborating the endothermic nature of the process. Pseudo-second order model was best suited to explain the kinetics of the process with R2 value of 0.99683 and an error of 6.73%. Equilibrium parameter (RL ) derived from Langmuir isotherm was calculated to be 0.1103, indicating favorable adsorption and thus Langmuir isotherm can be used to describe the process of adsorption of Cr (VI) by Fe0 /Cu-CAC. Finally, a maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 173.9 mg/g indicated the suitability of the prepared adsorbent in treating chromium contaminated wastewater streams. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Facile development of novel adsorbent from biodegradable coconut husk via cost effective route. Utilization of the adsorbent towards removal of toxic pollutant like Cr (VI) from its aqueous solution. Validation of the effective adsorption mechanism by Kinetic and Thermodynamic study.

Abstract
Mercury and its compounds are toxic substances, whose uncontrolled presence in the environment represents a danger to ecosystems and the organisms that inhabit in it. For this reason, in this work, we carried out a study of mercury [Hg(II)] adsorption from aqueous solution on functionalized activated carbon. The activated carbons were prepared by chemical activation of a mango seed with solutions of CaCl2 and H2SO4 at different concentrations, later, the carbonaceous materials were functionalized with Na2S, with the aim of increasing the sulfur content in the carbonaceous matrix and its affinity to mercury. The materials were characterized using: proximal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, Boehm titrations, point zero charge (pHPZC), and infrared spectroscopy. Additionally, immersion calorimetries were performed in the mercury solution. The results of textural and chemical characterization show materials with low Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface areas between 2 and 33 m2·g-1 and low pore volumes. However, they had a rich surface chemistry of oxygenated groups. The enthalpies of immersion in the mercury solutions are between -31.71 and -77.31 J·g-1, showing a correlation between the magnitude of the enthalpic data and the adsorption capacity of the materials. It was evidenced that the functionalization process produces a decrease in the surface area and pore volume of the activated carbons, and an increase in the sulfur content of the carbonaceous matrix. It was evidenced that the functionalization process generated an increase in the mercury [Hg(II)] adsorption capacity between 21 and 49% compared to those of the nonfunctionalized materials, reaching a maximum adsorption capacity of 85.6 mgHg2+g-1.

Abstract
The present study is focused on the use of activated carbon derived from water hyacinth (WH-AC) as adsorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. The optimized WH-AC was found to be mesoporous and considered as granular. The surface area of 11.564 m2/g was found to have a good adsorption capacity. The adsorption data of the optimized WH-AC followed a pseudo-second order kinetics and the Freundlich isotherm model. Based on the correlation coefficient obtained from pseudo-second-order kinetic model, the R2 values were all above 0.99, which is closer to unity of one (1) indicating that it followed a chemisorption process. The adsorption capacity of WH-AC increased from 1.98 to 4.68 mg/g when adsorbate concentration increased from 20 to 50 mg/l. The overall study proved that the adsorption by activated carbon derived from water hyacinth can be an alternative and efficient technique in hexavalent chromium removal.

Abstract
Heavy metals are one of the most dangerous and critical threats to human and environment. In this study, the adsorption efficiency of activated carbon from cassava peels considered as agricultural waste (CPR) was evaluated for removal of heavy metals Cr (VI) and Co (II) from aqueous media. Cassava peel carbon (CPC) was obtained by acid treatment. Structural and morphological properties were investigated using Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller surface area (BET) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The adsorption experiments were conducted in batch mode under natural solution pH and complexation of the heavy metals, which allows the use of UV-Visible spectroscopy technique. CPC adsorbent exhibited a high adsorption capacity, according to Langmuir model, for Cr (VI) (166.35 mg/g) and Co (II) (301.63 mg/g) at 25 °C. Kinetic and adsorption isotherms followed the pseudo second-order and Langmuir isotherm models for both metals, respectively. Thermodynamic study confirmed the spontaneity and endothermic nature of both metals adsorption onto CPC surface.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to utilise pristine and magnetite-sucrose functionalized Nigella Sativa seeds as the adsorbents for the uptake of chromium(VI) and lead(II) ions from synthetic wastewater. Prestine Nigella Sativa seeds were labelled (PNS) and magnetite-sucrose functionalized Nigella Sativa seeds (FNS). The PNS and FNS composites were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The FTIR analysis of both adsorbents revealed the presence of vibrations assigned to 1749 and 1739 cm-1 (-C=O) for ketonic group for both adsorbents. The amide (-NH) peak was observed at 1533 and 1527 cm-1 on FNS and PNS composites, respectively, whilst the carboxyl group (-COOH) were observed at 1408 cm-1 on both adsorbents. The XRD results of FNS and PNS composites showed a combination of spinel structure and-Fe2O3 phase confirming the formation of iron oxide. The influence of operational conditions such as initial concentration, temperature, pH, and contact time was determined in batch adsorption system. The kinetic data of Cr(VI) and Pb(II) ions on both adsorbents was described by pseudo-first-order (PFO) model which suggested physisorption process. The sorption rate of Cr(VI) ions was quicker, it attained equilibrium in 20 min, and the rate of Pb(II) ions was slow in 90 min. Freundlich isotherm described the mechanism of Pb(II) ions adsorption on PNS and FNS composites. Langmuir best fitted the uptake of Cr(VI) ions on PNS and FNS. The results for both adsorbents showed that the removal uptake of Pb(II) ions increased when the initial concentration was increased; however, Cr(VI) uptake decreased when the initial concentration increased. The adsorption of Cr(VI) and Pb(II) ions on both adsorbents increased with temperature.

Abstract
Pandanus candelabrum stem, a new precursor, was used to synthesise activate carbon. The effect of sodium hydroxide, NaOH, zinc (II) chloride, ZnCl2 and phosphoric acid, H3PO4, different agents on prepared adsorbents was investigated. The adsorbents were prepared with chemical agents and carbonized at 400 oC for 1 hour. Surface morphology, elemental composition and functional groups were analysed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The image analysis showed the presence of both micropores and mesopores in the adsorbents. The H3PO4 activated carbon had the maximum surface area (2648 m2/g), pore volume (1.683 cm3/g) and highest adsorption for iodine and methylene blue were 541 and 105 mg/g. Pandanus candelabrum stem is an alternative material that can be used to synthesis high porous adsorbent because is abundant, easy to access, inexpensive and readily available.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2020; 206:111247. [PMID: 32890920 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.111247] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2020] [Revised: 08/23/2020] [Accepted: 08/24/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Palygorskite is a mineral widely applied for the removal of potentially toxic trace elements from the environment. This study aimed to identify the influence of pH (3, 4, 5, and 6) and humic acid (200 mg L-1) addition on the adsorption of hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) ions by the microparticles and nanoparticles of palygorskite. Therefore, the mineral was prepared as the micron- and nano-sized particles saturated with Ba2+ ions, and finally used in adsorption experiments. The results indicated that regardless of the mineral size, Cr(VI) adsorption was enhanced by increasing the contact time from 5 to 2880 min and the equilibrium conditions achieved after 1440 min from the beginning of experiments. With increasing the pH values from 3 to 6, the adsorption efficiency of Cr(VI) decreased significantly, and the highest rate of removal (64%) was found at pH = 3. The pseudo-second-order model best described the kinetics of Cr(VI) adsorption onto both micro- and nanoparticles of palygorskite. Also, the experimental data showed maximum consistency with the data calculated by the Freundlich isotherm model. The two processes of film and pore diffusion were recognized as the main mechanisms that controlled the adsorption of Cr(VI) by palygorskite microparticles and nanoparticles. A comparison of the maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) in different treatments followed the order of nanoparticles > humic acid > humic acid + nanoparticles ≈ humic acid + microparticles > microparticles. Accordingly, the adsorption capacities of "palygorskite nanoparticles" and "humic acid" for Cr(VI) ions were 3.7 and 3.2 times higher than that of palygorskite microparticles, respectively. Moreover, the adsorption capacities observed in the simultaneous application of humic acid with palygorskite microparticles and nanoparticles were 20% and 45% lower than those without humic acid, respectively. To conclude, palygorskite nanoparticles were found to have a significant adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) ions, which is negatively affected by rise in the pH of the aqueous matrix.

Abstract
Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is a heavy metal that is highly soluble and exhibits toxic effects on biological systems. Nevertheless, it is used in many industrial applications. The adsorption process of Cr(VI), using activated carbon (AC), is under investigation globally. On the other hand, around six million tons of spent coffee is sent to landfill annually. In the spirit of cyclic economy, this research investigated the production of AC from spent coffee for the removal of Cr(VI) from wastewater. The AC was produced via pyrolysis process under a nitrogen atmosphere. Chemical activation using potassium hydroxide (KOH) occurred simultaneously with the pyrolysis process. The produced AC was tested as an absorber of Cr(VI). The best fitted kinetic model was the diffusion–chemisorption model. A 24-h adsorption experiment was carried out using a solution with a pH of 3 and an initial Cr(VI) concentration of 54.14 ppm. This resulted in an experimental maximum capacity of 109 mg/g, while the theoretical prediction was 137 mg/g. It also resulted in an initial adsorption rate (ri) of 110 (mg/(g h)). The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area (SgBET) was 1372 m2/g, the Langmuir surface area (SgLang.) was 1875 m2/g, and the corrugated pore structure model surface area (SgCPSM) was 1869 m2/g. The micropore volume was 84.6%, exhibiting micropores at Dmicro1 = 1.28 and Dmicro2 = 1.6 nm. The tortuosity factor (τ) was 4.65.

Abstract
The removal of residual organics from manganese (Mn) electrochemical solution using combined Fenton oxidation process with adsorption over activated carbon (AC) was investigated. The effect of operating conditions such as dosage of H2O2, H2O2/Fe2+ ratio, initial pH value, reaction temperature, and reaction time on Fenton oxidation was studied. Experimental results indicated that a maximum chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 83.2% was obtained under the optimized set of conditions: H2O2 concentration of 0.15 mol/L, H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio of 3, initial pH value of 3, reaction temperature of 50 °C, and reaction time of 90 min. The leaching solution was furthered treated over AC and COD removal rate increased to 93.1% under 3.75 g/L dosage of AC, adsorption temperature of 70 °C, and adsorption time of 120 min. The adsorption mechanism of Mn over AC was detailly investigated, while the porous texture of AC was studied by nitrogen adsorption isotherm.

Abstract
This study investigated the potential use of spruce sawdust that was pretreated with diethylene glycol and sulfuric acid for the removal of hexavalent chromium from wastewater. The sawdust pretreatment process was conducted at different temperatures and times. The adsorbent was characterized by quantitative saccharification, scanning electron microscopy, and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller surface area analysis. Adsorption capacity was studied for both batch and column processes. The experimental adsorption isotherms were simulated using seven isotherm models, including Freundlich and Langmuir models. By using the Langmuir isotherm model, the maximal Cr(VI) adsorption capacity of organosolv-pretreated spruce sawdust (qm) was 318.3 mg g-1. Furthermore, the kinetic data were fitted to Lagergren, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models, revealing that the adsorption of Cr(VI) onto spruce sawdust pretreated with diethylene glycol and sulfuric acid is best represented by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Three kinetic models, namely, the Bohart-Adams model, Thomas model, and modified dose-response (MDR) model, were used to fit the experimental data obtained from the column experiments and to resolve the characteristic parameters. The Thomas adsorption column capacity of the sawdust was increased from 2.44 to 31.1 mg g-1 upon pretreatment, thus, demonstrating that organosolv treatment enhances the adsorption capability of the material.

Abstract
The current study deals with the adsorption of hexavalent chromium using acid (H3PO4)-activated water caltrop (Trapa natans) shell (PWCS) using an up-flow packed bed column. Characteristics of breakthrough curve was obtained by investigating the effect of several operating parameters viz. inlet flow rate (2-6 mL/min), initial metal ion concentration (50-150 mg/L), and adsorbent's column bed height (1-3 cm). Elevated time of breakthrough curve was reported with elevated adsorbent bed height and vice versa with enhanced initial metal concentration and inlet flow rate of sorbate solution. Process design and breakthrough curves under varying conditions were predicted by applying column models like Thomas model, Adams-Bohart model, Yoon Nelson model, and bed depth service Time (BDST). Column behavior was better described by the BDST and Thomas model and simultaneously gave a good fit with the experimental data of breakthrough curves. The percentage removal for Cr(VI) from aqueous solution having pH 2 and temperature 303.15 K was observed to be 52.46%. The maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 87.31 mg/g according to the Thomas model. Conclusively, phosphoric acid-modified T. natans shell (PWCS) showed better sorption potential for of Cr(VI) species from simulated wastewater.

Abstract
Clay minerals can be modified organically by a cationic surfactant resulting in materials known as organoclays. The organoclays have been used as adsorbents of most of the organic contaminants in the aqueous solution and oxyanions of the heavy metal. In this study, a Colombian bentonite was modified with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide to obtain an organobentonite, and its capacity to adsorb Cr(VI) oxyanions in the aqueous solution was evaluated. The effect of pH, stirring speed, adsorbent amount, contact time, and ionic strength were investigated at 25°C. Stirring speeds above 200 rpm, contact times greater than 120 min, and the addition of NaCl (0.1 to 2.0 mM) did not have a significant effect on Cr(VI) removal. The influence of the adsorbent amount and pH on Cr(VI) adsorption was studied by the response surface methodology (RSM) approach based on a complete factorial design 32. Results proved that the Cr(VI) adsorption follows a quadratic model with high values of coefficient of determination (R2 = 95.1% and adjusted R2 = 93.9%). The optimal conditions for removal of Cr(VI) from an aqueous solution of 50 mg/L were pH of 3.4 and 0.44 g amount of the adsorbent. The adsorption isotherm data were fitted to the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models, and the model parameters were evaluated. The maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) onto organobentonite calculated from the Langmuir model equation was 10.04 ± 0.34 mg/g at 25°C. The results suggest that organobentonite is an effective adsorbent for Cr(VI) removal, with the advantage of being a low-cost material.

Abstract
The removal of Cr(VI) in wastewater plays an important role in human health and environment. In this work, polypyrrole/hollow mesoporous silica particle (PPy/HMSNs) adsorbents have been newly synthesized by in-situ polymerization, which prevent the aggregation of pyrrole in the process of polymerization and exhibit highly selective and powerful adsorption ability for Cr(VI). The adsorption process was in good agreement with the quasi-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model. And the maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) was 322 mg/g at 25 °C. Moreover, the removal rate of Cr(VI) by PPy/HMSNs was ~100% in a number of binary systems, such as Cl−/Cr(VI), NO3−/Cr(VI), SO42−/Cr(VI), Zn2+/Cr(VI), Fe3+/Cr(VI), Sn4+/Cr(VI), and Cu2+/Cr(VI). Thus, the PPy/HMSNs adsorbents have great potential for the removal of Cr(VI) in wastewater.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped carbon spheres (CSs-N) were synthesized by a hydrothermal method with glucose as the carbon source and urea as the nitrogen source. The synthesized nitrogen-doped carbon spheres were activated by KOH to prepare high performance nitrogen-doped porous carbon material (PCM-N) for adsorption of Cr(VI). SEM, TEM, BET, Raman spectroscopy, XRD, XPS, Zeta potential and elemental analysis techniques were used to characterize the materials, and the properties of the materials were tested by a batch adsorption method. The results show that the specific surface area of PCM-N is 1600.67 m2/g, and the maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) is 402.9 mg/g, and the performance was better than that of a similar materials (Longan seed and Fox nutshell and so on). Furthermore, the adsorption capacity will increase with increasing temperature. In this study, the kinetics and isotherm model of adsorption parameters are fitted, and it is found that the adsorption process is in accordance with the Pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich model, thermodynamic parameters show that the adsorption of Cr(VI) onto the PCM-N was spontaneous endothermic process. The regeneration adsorption experiment showed that PCM-N has good reusability and high application value.

Abstract
In this study, freshwater snail shells (FSSs) containing CaCO3 were used as a low-cost biosorbent for removing Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. The characteristics of FSS and mechanism of Cr(VI) adsorption onto FSS were investigated. The FSS biosorbent was characterized using nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherm, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The adsorption mechanism was determined by conducting various batch adsorption experiments along with fitting experimental data with various adsorption models. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted as a function of solution pH, contact time, biosorbent dose, and initial Cr(VI) concentration. Results indicated that pH = 2, a contact time of 120 min, and an initial Cr(VI) concentration of 30 mg/L at 20°C were the best conditions for adsorption of Cr(VI) onto FSS. The Cr(VI) adsorption onto FSS decreased with an increase in temperature from 20 to 40°C. The obtained maximum adsorption capacity was 8.85 mg/g for 2 g/L of FSS dose with 30 mg/L of initial Cr(VI) at 20°C. The adsorption equilibrium data fit well with the Sips and Langmuir isotherm models at 20°C with a high R2 of 0.981 and 0.975, respectively. Also, a good correlation between the experimental data and the pseudo-second-order model was achieved, with the highest R2 of 0.995 at 20°C. The adsorption mechanisms were electrostatic interaction and ion exchange. Simultaneously, this mechanism was also controlled by film diffusion. The Cr(VI) adsorption process was irreversible, spontaneous (−∆G°), exothermic (∆H° is negative), and less random (∆S° is negative). In conclusion, freshwater snail shells have the potential as a renewable adsorbent to remove toxic metals from wastewater.

Abstract
The paper presents the research of adsorptive properties of activated carbons to chromium (VI) removal from the water solution. Different types of carbon were investigated: WD-ekstra (WDA), WD-ekstra modified by salt acid WD(HCl) and nitrogen acid WD(HNO3). The adsorption kinetics, influence reaction, temperature and kind of carbon were determined using static methods. The adsorption of chromium (VI) onto all activated carbons was most efficient at pH 2. The time of adsorption balance for carbon WD(HCl) was 2.5 h and for carbon WDA 4.5 h. The influence of carbon modification and temperature on the effectiveness of adsorption of hexavalent chromium was determined on the basis of the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The research showed that the adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) increased with the increasing temperature of the solution. The most efficient adsorbent in static conditions was found on WD-ekstra modified by HCl. The adsorbent applied in dynamic conditions as the filtration bed (v = 2 m/h, time of retention TR = 420 s, initial concentration C0 = 1 mg/dm3), it removed chromium (VI) from water very effectively. Adsorption capacities after exhaustion of the bed were obtained at PeWD (HCl) = 4.35 mg/g. On the basis of executed research, chromium ions were successfully eliminated onto modified carbon WD(HCl) that makes its employment capabilities in the systems purification of water.

Abstract
Chromium exists mainly in two forms in environmental matrices, namely, the hexavalent (Cr(vi)) and trivalent (Cr(iii)) chromium. While Cr(iii) is a micronutrient, Cr(vi) is a known carcinogen, and that warrants removal from environmental samples. Amongst the removal techniques reported in the literature, adsorption methods are viewed as superior to other methods because they use less chemicals; consequently, they are less toxic and easy to handle. Mitigation of chromium using adsorption methods has been achieved by exploiting the physical, chemical, and biological properties of Cr(vi) due to its dissolution tendencies in aqueous solutions. Many adsorbents, including synthetic polymers, activated carbons, biomass, graphene oxide, and nanoparticles as well as bioremediation, have been successfully applied in Cr(vi) remediation. Initially, adsorbents were used singly in their natural form, but recent literature shows that more composite materials are generated and applied. This review focused on the recent advances, insights, and project future directions for these adsorbents as well as compare and contrast the performances achieved by the mentioned adsorbents and their variants.

Abstract
The adsorption potential of acid activated carbon prepared from leaves of Juniperus procera to remove Pb(II) and Cr(VI) toxic ions from aqueous solutions was investigated. The effects of solution pH, adsorbent mass, contact time, initial ion concentration and temperature on the biosorption process were studied, and the optimum conditions were determined. Moreover, Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin–Radushkevich adsorption isotherm models were applied to analyze adsorption data. Thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption processes were calculated. Adsorption was found to be a spontaneous and endothermic process. In addition, kinetic studies revealed a pseudo-first order kinetics biosorption process. The obtained results suggest that acid activated Juniperus procera leaves powder can be used as a cheap, efficient and environmentally friendly adsorbent material with high removal efficiency up to 98% for Pb(II) and 96% for Cr(VI) at 0.80 and 1.00 g/100 mL, respectively. The duration of the process was 100 min and 120 min for Pb(II) and Cr(VI) ions, respectively. The morphology of the of prepared activated carbon was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Abstract
The physicochemical and morphological properties and the sorption capacities of discarded mushroom-stick biochar (DMB) prepared at different pyrolysis temperatures from 300 °C to 800 °C were explored. Results showed that the yield and surface oxygen-containing group content of DMB prepared at 300 °C (DMB3) were higher than those of DMB prepared at higher pyrolysis temperature (DMB5 and DMB8), while the DMB prepared at 800 °C (DMB8) had higher pH, mineral element and ash content, aromaticity, and polarity. Therefore, the heavy metal adsorption capacity of DMB3 was higher than that of DMB5, while the maximal sorption capacities for Pb2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, and Ni2+ (21.0, 18.8, 11.2, and 9.8 mg g-1) were obtained by DMB8. Adsorption kinetics and sorption isotherm data were fitted well by using pseudo-second order and Langmuir models, thereby indicating that the heavy metal adsorption by DMB was monolayer and rapid adsorption. Based on the contribution percentage parameters of diverse heavy metal sorption mechanisms, mineral precipitation and ion exchange were the two dominant mechanisms of heavy metal adsorption by DMB. This study provided a promising way not only to recycle discarded mushroom sticks into feasible heavy metal adsorbents, but also for potential utilization of agriculture waste.

Abstract
Antibiotics can affect ecosystems and threaten human health; therefore, methods for removing antibiotics have become a popular subject in environmental management and for the protection of human health. Adsorption is considered an effective approach for the removal of antibiotics from water. In this study, NiFe2O4@nitrogen-doped carbon hollow spheres (NiFe2O4/NCHS) were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method followed by calcination using NCHS as a hard template. The nanocomposite exhibited high adsorption activity and good recyclability. The nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and nitrogen adsorption–desorption to study its micromorphology, structure, and chemical composition/states. In addition, the factors affecting the adsorption process were systematically investigated, including tetracycline (TC) concentration, solution pH, ionic strength, and temperature. The maximum adsorption capacity for TC was calculated to be 271.739 mg g−1 based on the Langmuir adsorption model, which was higher than various other materials. This study provides an effective method for constructing the NiFe2O4/NHCS core–shell structure, which can be applied for the removal of TC from water. Antibiotics can affect ecosystems and threaten human health; therefore, methods for removing antibiotics have become a popular subject in environmental management and for the protection of human health.![]()
