Yang T, Gao N, Li B. Biomass hydrothermal carbonization solution-assisted synthesis of intercalation-expanded core-shell structured molybdenum disulfide for efficient adsorption of Cr (VI) in electroplating wastewater treatment. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 401:130761. [PMID: 38692370 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130761] [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: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
Cr (VI) is a common heavy metal pollutant in electroplating wastewater. This study introduces the liquid-phase product from the hydrothermal reaction of coffee grounds (CGHCL) into the synthesis process of molybdenum disulfide, assisting in the fabrication of an intercalated, expanded core-shell structured molybdenum disulfide adsorbent (C-MoS2), designed for the adsorption and reduction of Cr (VI) from electroplating wastewater. The addition of CGHCL significantly enhances the adsorption performance of MoS2. Furthermore, C-MoS2 exhibits exceedingly high removal efficiency and excellent regenerative capability for Cr (VI)-containing electroplating wastewater. The core-shell structure effectively minimizes molybdenum leaching to the greatest extent, while the oleophobic interface is unaffected by oily substances in water, and the expanded interlayer structure ensures the long-term stability of C-MoS2 in air (90 days). This study provides a viable pathway for the resource utilization of biomass and the application of molybdenum disulfide-based materials in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Hollow vesicles are promising in water treatment due to their unique structure of the membrane and inner cavity. However, the adsorption capacity needs to be improved for targeted pollutants. Herein, millimeter-scale hollow vesicles were prepared with a one-step process of sequential stirring and grafting using chitosan, diallyldimethylammonium chloride, and sodium alginate as raw materials with the purpose of efficient removal of anionic dyes from wastewater. The composite vesicles were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The hollow vesicles showed the structure of the cationic membrane and the inner cavity, facilitating the dye adsorption. The adsorption capacity for the anionic dye Reactive Black 5 reached 698.1 mg/g, more than twice that of the binary composite vesicles without graft. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm data coincided with the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models, respectively, and the adsorption mechanism was monolayer chemisorption. Moreover, the vesicles worked well in wide ranges of environment pH, temperature, and co-existing pollutants. They also possessed excellent cyclic regeneration performance, in which 93 % of the initial adsorption capacity was maintained after four cycles. These results indicate that the millimeter-scale hollow vesicles exhibit broad application prospects for wastewater purification.

Construction of cellulose-based hybrid hydrogel beads containing carbon dots and their high performance in the adsorption and detection of mercury ions in water. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 359:121076. [PMID: 38710148 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121076] [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: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
Abstract
Cellulose-based adsorbents have been extensively developed in heavy metal capture and wastewater treatment. However, most of the reported powder adsorbents suffer from the difficulties in recycling due to their small sizes and limitations in detecting the targets for the lack of sensitive sensor moieties in the structure. Accordingly, carbon dots (CDs) were proposed to be encapsulated in cellulosic hydrogel beads to realize the simultaneous detection and adsorption of Hg (II) in water due to their excellent fluorescence sensing performance. Besides, the molding of cellulose was beneficial to its recycling and further reduced the potential environmental risk generated by secondary pollution caused by adsorbent decomposition. In addition, the detection limit of the hydrogel beads towards Hg (II) reached as low as 8.8 × 10-8 M, which was below the mercury effluent standard declared by WHO, exhibiting excellent practicability in Hg (II) detection and water treatment. The maximum adsorption capacity of CB-50 % for Hg (II) was 290.70 mg/g. Moreover, the adsorbent materials also had preeminent stability that the hydrogel beads could maintain sensitive and selective sensing performance towards Hg (II) after 2 months of storage. Additionally, only 3.3% of the CDs leaked out after 2 weeks of immersion in water, ensuring the accuracy of Hg (II) evaluation. Notably, the adsorbent retained over 80% of its original adsorption capacity after five consecutive regeneration cycles, underscoring its robustness and potential for sustainable environmental applications.

Highly selective detection and removal of mercury ions in the aquatic environment based on magnetic ZIF-71 multifunctional composites with sufficient chlorine functional groups. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 921:171085. [PMID: 38387584 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
The development of both detection and removal technologies for heavy metal ions is of great importance. Most of the existing adsorbents that contain oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur functional groups can remove heavy metals, but achieving both selective detection and removal of a single metal ion is difficult because they bind to a wide range of heavy metal ions. Herein, we selected zeolite imidazolium hydrochloride framework-71 (ZIF-71) with sufficient chlorine functional groups to fabricate magnetic ZIF-71 multifunctional composites (M-ZIF-71). M-ZIF-71 had a large specific surface area, excellent water stability, and good magnetic properties, which made M-ZIF-71 conducive to the separation and recovery of adsorbents and the assembly of electrodes. M-ZIF-71 exhibited high selectivity, wide linear range (1-500 μg/L), and low detection limit (0.32 μg/L) for electrochemical detection of mercury ions (Hg2+). Meanwhile, M-ZIF-71 demonstrated rapid Hg2+ adsorption with a high capacity of 571.2 mg/g and excellent recyclability. The high selectivity for Hg2+ was attributed to the powerful affinity of highly electronegative chlorine and Hg2+. Moreover, XPS spectra demonstrated the interaction between chlorine and Hg2+. This work provides a new inspiration for applications in the targeted monitoring and removal of heavy metal pollution.

Abstract
Triclosan (TCS) is an antibacterial agent commonly used in personal care products. Due to its widespread use and improper disposal, it is also a pervasive contaminant, particularly in aquatic environments. When released into water bodies, TCS can induce deleterious effects on developmental and physiological aspects of aquatic organisms and also interact with environmental stressors such as weather, metals, pharmaceuticals, and microplastics. Multiple studies have described the adverse effects of TCS on aquatic organisms, but few have reported on the interactions between TCS and other environmental conditions and pollutants. Because aquatic environments include a mix of contaminants and natural factors can correlate with contaminants, it is important to understand the toxicological outcomes of combinations of substances. Due to its lipophilic characteristics, TCS can interact with a wide range of substances and environmental stressors in aquatic environments. Here, we identify a need for caution when using TCS by describing not only the effects of exposure to TCS alone on aquatic organisms but also how toxicity changes when it acts in combination with multiple environmental stressors.

Abstract
The bioavailability of contaminants in aquatic environments was highly related with the existing forms (soluble or adsorbed) and properties of dissolved organic matters (DOMs). In this study, the molecular weight (MWs)-dependent effects of DOMs on the adsorption and bioavailability of sulfadiazine were explored. Colloid ZnO and Al2O3 were employed as the representative colloidal particles, and algae-derived organic matter (AOM) and humic acid (HA) were selected as typical autochthonous and allochthonous DOMs. The ultrafiltration procedure was applied to divide the bulk DOMs into high MW (HMW-, 1 kDã0.45 μm) and low MW (LMW-, <1 kDa) fractions. Results showed that HMW-DOM contained more aromatic and protein-like substances as compared to the LMW counterparts. In addition, presence of AOM promoted sulfadiazine adsorption capabilities by 1.19-4.54 folds and mitigated the inhibition ratio by 0.56-0.78 folds, whereas those of HA inhibited sulfadiazine adsorption by 0.27-0.84 folds and enhanced the biotoxicity by 1.21-1.45 folds. Regardless of different DOM types, HMW-fraction exhibited highest effects on sulfadiazine adsorption and bioavailability, followed by the bulk- and LMW-fractions. Two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy showed that sulfadiazine was adsorbed on colloidal surfaces prior to AOM, and the subsequent adsorption of AOM can provide additional sites for sulfadiazine adsorption, which decreased the concentrations of aqueous sulfadiazine as well as the biotoxicity to Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa). The HA, however, was preferentially adsorbed on colloidal surfaces, which hindered the subsequent sulfadiazine adsorption and resulted in a high sulfadiazine abundance in aqueous solution as well as the enhanced biotoxicity to M. aeruginosa. This study highlighted the importance of the types and MWs of DOMs in influencing the behaviors and ecological effects of aquatic contaminants.

Abstract
Micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) technology is an effective method to treat low-concentration heavy metal wastewater. However, the leakage of surfactants in the ultrafiltration (UF) process will inevitably cause secondary pollution. In this study, a biosurfactant of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) with conjugated double bonds was selected to bind its micelles by simple thermal crosslinking to obtain morphologically stable stearic acid (SA) nanoparticles. The pure SA nanoparticles were obtained by repeated dialysis. The stability of the SA nanoparticles was verified by comparing the particle size distribution and solubility of the materials before and after crosslinking at different pH levels. The effectiveness of SA nanoparticle-enhanced UF in removing heavy metals was verified by exploring the adsorption performance of SA nanoparticles. The dialysis device was used to simplify the UF device, wherein SA nanoparticles were assessed as adsorbents for the elimination of Cu2+, Pb2+, and Cd2+ ions from aqueous solutions under diverse process parameters, including pH, contact time, metal ion concentration, and coexisting ions. The findings indicate that the SA nanoparticles have no evidence of secondary contamination in UF and exhibit compatibility with a broad pH range and coexisting ions. The maximum adsorption capacities for Cu2+, Pb2+, and Cd2+ were determined to be 152.77, 403.56, and 271.46 mg/g, respectively.

Abstract
Coexisting tetracycline (TC), dissolved organic matter (DOM), and metal cations in aqueous environments might form complexes and consequently affect the environmental fate of TC. In this study, the interactions among coexisting humic acid (HA), TC, and Mg(II) in solutions were investigated by equilibrium dialysis batch experiments and nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectroscopy (1H NMR) characterization. In the binary systems, the dimethylamine (4Me2NH+) functional group on the A-ring of TC bound to the oxygen-containing functional groups of HA via hydrogen bond. The solution pH affected the agglomeration morphology and dissociation of the oxygen-containing functional groups of HA as well as protonation and spatial conformation of TC, which in turn affected the HA-TC interactions. The complexation sites and ratio of Mg(II) on TC affect the binding mode in the ternary system. When the TC-Mg(II) complexation ratio is 1:1, the B, C, and D rings of TC preferentially complex with Mg(II), resulting in the change of TC from an extended to a twisted conformation. At this time, Mg(II) had a weaker inhibitory effect on binding affinity between HA and TC. When the complexation ratio was 1:2, the second Mg(II) complexation deactivated the 4Me2NH + on the A ring and further stabilized TC twisted conformation, resulting in a stronger inhibitory effect on the binding of TC to HA. Under acidic conditions, the solution pH mainly caused the difficulty in forming TC-Mg(II) complexes. The inhibitory effect of Mg(II) on the binding between HA and TC is weaker than that under alkaline conditions.

Abstract
Marine animals and human are threatened by seawater acidification and metal contamination. Especially, the toxicity of copper (Cu) is expected to be boosted with seawater acidification. However, studies on the removal of Cu under seawater acidification are limited for practical applications, owing to obstacles such as instability, secondary contamination, and low adsorption efficiency. In this work, coconut shells were utilized for the synthesis of biomass carbon, which was then decorated with MoS2. A novel porous MoS2/carbon-based aerogel (MCA) with the synergistic effect of photothermal conversion and adsorption was constructed via directional freeze-drying technology. The adsorption properties of MCA were a precise match with Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models with a high correlation coefficient (R2) of more than 0.995. Under solar illumination, the surface temperature of MCA reached up to 36.3 °C and the adsorption capacity of MCA increased to 833.8 mg g-1, indicating that the remarkable thermal properties of MCA contributed to achieving high adsorption capacity. The adsorption mechanisms of MCA involved in the removal of Cu(ii) ions were dominated by chemisorption rather than surface physical adsorption. Owing to its outstanding photothermal conversion performance and directionally aligned porous structure, MCA was able to remove Cu(ii) species from seawater, and the adsorption ability of MCA reached 247.1 mg g-1 after ten adsorption cycles. MCA exhibited excellent stability to resist the complex natural environment and was easy to reuse. Overall, MCA with a series of merits, including high adsorption efficiency, excellent photothermal conversion property, and outstanding cycling stability, was confirmed to contribute to addressing heavy metal stress under seawater acidification.

Fu B, Chen Q, Sleiman M, Ferronato C, Fine L, Meunier F, Ferro Fernandez VR, Valverde JL, Giroir-Fendler A, Wu Y, Wang H, Ma Y, Chovelon JM. Comparative removal of pharmaceuticals in aqueous phase by agricultural waste-based biochars. WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2024; 96:e10967. [PMID: 38154789 DOI: 10.1002/wer.10967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
The intensification of pharmaceutical use globally has led to an increase in the number of water bodies contaminated by drugs, and an effective strategy must be developed to address this issue. In this work, several biochars produced from Miscanthus straw pellets (MSP550, MSP700) and wheat straw pellets (WSP550, WSP700) at 550 and 700°C, respectively, were selected as adsorbents for removing various pharmaceuticals, such as pemetrexed (PEME), sulfaclozine (SCL), and terbutaline (TBL), from the aqueous phase. The biochar characterizations (physicochemical properties, textural properties, morphological structures, and zeta potentials) and adsorptive conditions (contact times, temperatures, and pH effect) were investigated. The infrared and Raman spectra of biochars before and after pharmaceutical adsorption, as well as quantum chemical computations, were carried out to explore the adsorption mechanisms. The results showed that the general adsorption abilities of biochars for pharmaceuticals were in the order of WSP700 > MSP700 > MSP550 > WSP550. Both the higher drug concentration and higher temperature improved biochar adsorption. By decreasing the pH, the adsorption amounts increased for PEME and SCL. However, TBL exhibited the best adsorption at pH 7, whereas a weakening of affinity occurred at lower or higher pH values. Electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding were the main adsorptive mechanisms between all biochars and pharmaceuticals. π-π interactions played a role in the adsorption process of low-temperature-prepared biochars (MSP550 and WSP550). This work can provide new insights into the control of pharmaceuticals from water with low-cost adsorbents. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Use of biochars for pharmaceuticals removal from aqueous phase. Characterization of biochars : physical and chemical properties, textural and surface properties. Simulation calculation for characterization of pharmaceuticals. Kinetic studies of pharmaceuticals adsorption on biochars. DRIFTS and Raman analysis for the understanding of adsorption process.

Abstract
The rapid development of the industrial sector has resulted in tremendous economic growth. However, this growth has also presented environmental challenges, specifically due to the substantial sewage generated and its contribution to the early warning of global water resource depletion. Large concentrations of poisonous heavy metals, including cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and nickel (Ni), are found in industrial effluent. Therefore, various studies are currently underway to provide effective solutions to alleviate heavy metal ion pollution in sewage. One emerging strategy for sewage pollution remediation is adsorption using wood and its derivatives. This approach is gaining popularity due to the porous structure, excellent mechanical properties, and easy chemical modification of wood. Recent studies have focused on removing heavy metal ions from sewage, summarising and analysing different technical principles, affecting factors, and mainstream chemical modification methods on wood. Furthermore, this work provides insight into potential future development direction for enhanced adsorption of heavy metal ions using wood and its derivatives in wastewater treatment. Overall, this review aims to raise awareness of environmental pollution caused by heavy metals in sewage and promote green environmental protection, low-carbon energy-saving, and sustainable solutions for sewage heavy metal treatment.

Abstract
The high chemical and structural stabilities of zirconium (Zr)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in aquatic media make them ideal candidates for wastewater treatment. Rational decoration or Zr-MOFs with functional groups can significantly extend their application in this area. In this work, two well-known Zr-MOFs, UiO-66 and MIL-140-A, were functionalized with dihydrotetrazine function to increase their capability in water treatment. Investigations reveal that these two dihydrotetrazine (DHTZ)-functionalized MOFs, namely UiO-66(Zr)-DHTZ and MIL-140(Zr)-DHTZ, can be applied as a two-component array for highly selective and sensitive discrimination of arsenate (AsO43-) and phosphate (PO43-) ions in water in the presence of other anions. Photoluminescence (PL) tests using UiO-66(Zr)-DHTZ show that this MOF can detect these two anions via a ratiometric response, 1.74 for arsenate and 1.84 for phosphate at 2 μM, with superior detection limits (7.2 × 10-8 M for AsO43- and 4.3 × 10-8 M for PO43-). The ratiometric PL response of UiO-66(Zr)-DHTZ toward arsenate and phosphate anions arises possibly from the arsenate-dihydrotetrazine hydrogen bonding. In the next step, colorimetric tests using MIL-140(Zr)-DHTZ were conducted to discriminate the arsenate from phosphate with a very low detection limit at nanomolar level. This MOF undergoes a yellow-to-pink color change in the presence of arsenate ions, while no color change is observed in the presence of phosphate. This color change is observed through conversion of dihydrotetrazine sites inside the pores of MIL-140(Zr)-DHTZ into tetrazine. Altogether, the PL response of UiO-66(Zr)-DHTZ is originated from the hydrogen bond-donating/accepting character of DHTZ function, while the colorimetric response of MIL-140(Zr)-DHTZ is based on the chemical conversion of DHTZ function. This work clearly shows that the decoration of Zr-based MOFs with multicharacter functional groups can develop their application in wastewater treatment as multipurpose platforms.
