JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 351:119738. [PMID: 38061102 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.119738] [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: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/14/2024]
Abstract
Nitrogen (N) cycle is one of the most significant biogeochemical cycles driven by soil microorganisms on the earth. Exogenous humic substances (HS), which include composted-HS and artificial-HS, as a new soil additive, can improve the water retention capacity, cation exchange capacity and soil nutrient utilization, compensating for the decrease of soil HS content caused by soil overutilization. This paper systematically reviewed the contribution of three different sources of HS in the soil-plant system and explained the mechanisms of N transformation through physiological and biochemical pathways. HS convert the living space and living environment of microorganisms by changing the structure and condition of soil. Generally, HS can fix atmospheric and soil N through biotic and abiotic mechanisms, which improved the availability of N. Besides, HS transform the root structure of plants through physiological and biochemical pathways to promote the absorption of inorganic N by plants. The redox properties of HS participate in soil N transformation by altering the electron gain and loss of microorganisms. Moreover, to alleviate the energy crisis and environmental problems caused by N pollution, we also illustrated the mechanisms reducing soil N2O emissions by HS and the application prospects of artificial-HS. Eventually, a combination of indoor simulation and field test, molecular biology and stable isotope techniques are needed to systematically analyze the potential mechanisms of soil N transformation, representing an important step forward for understanding the relevance between remediation of environmental pollution and improvement of the N utilization in soil-plant system.

Abstract
This study aims to produce beneficial products with pomegranate peel waste through pyrolysis. For this purpose, the usability of the liquid product as a biofuel and the solid product as an adsorbent for dye removal was investigated. To characterize the bio-oil and biochar produced under the best pyrolysis conditions, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), calorific value, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses were conducted. When we examine the FT-IR spectrum of the bio-oil, the presence of phenol, alcohol, ketone, and aldehyde groups is seen in the structure. The GC-MS analysis demonstrated that phenol content was 27.9%, aldehyde content was 19%, acid compound content was 18.28%, ketone content was 8.7%, and aromatic compound content was 8.4%. The lower calorific value of bio-oil was determined as 27.33 MJ/kg. It was observed that activated carbon produced from biochar at a 3:1 KOH/biochar impregnation ratio and a carbonization temperature of 800 °C exhibited the highest surface area (1307 m2/g). In adsorption analysis, it was observed that the adsorption efficiency was higher at pH 9 and 35 °C and with 150 ppm initial concentration. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms were determined, and the high R2 (0.99) was consistent with the Langmuir methylene blue (MB) adsorption model.

Abstract
Rapid sand filters (RSFs) have shown potential for removing organic micropollutants (OMPs) from groundwater. However, the abiotic removal mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, we collect sand from two field RSFs that are operated in series. The sand from the primary filter abiotically removes 87.5% of salicylic acid, 81.4% of paracetamol, and 80.2% of benzotriazole, while the sand from the secondary filter only removes paracetamol (84.6%). The field collected sand is coated by a blend of iron oxides (FeOx) and manganese oxides (MnOx) combined with organic matter, phosphate, and calcium. FeOx adsorbs salicylic acid via bonding of carboxyl group with FeOx. The desorption of salicylic acid from field sand indicates that salicylic acid is not oxidized by FeOx. MnOx adsorbs paracetamol through electrostatic interactions, and further transforms it into p-benzoquinone imine through hydrolysis-oxidation. FeOx significantly adsorbs organic matter, calcium, and phosphate, which in turn influences OMP removal. Organic matter on field sand surfaces limits OMP removal by blocking sorption sites on the oxides. However, calcium and phosphate on field sand support benzotriazole removal via surface complexation and hydrogen bonding. This paper provides further insight into the abiotic removal mechanisms of OMPs in field RSFs.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of chrysoidine (4-phenylazo-m-phenylenediamine) grafted on magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2@CPTMS@PhAzPhDA = FeSiPAPDA) as a novel and versatile adsorbent used for the satisfactory removal of Pb, Ni, and Cd ions from contaminated water via the formation of their complexes. The Freundlich, Langmuir, Temkin, and Redlich-Patterson isotherm models were studied to reveal the adsorption capability of the adsorbent and were found out that the Langmuir model is more compatible with the nano-adsorbent behavior. Moreover, according to the ICP tests as well as based on the Langmuir isotherm, the maximum adsorption capacity of the FeSiPAPDA-based adsorbent for the Pb ions (97.58) is more than that of Cd (78.59) and Ni ions (64.03).

Abstract
Developing innovative technology for removing methylene blue (MB) from water is essential since the widespread discharge of MB from industrial effluents causes problems for humans and the environment. In this study, we conducted the adsorption method, a simple technique that utilizes an adsorbent. Chitosan is cross-linked with zeolite as a promising adsorbent material and environmentally friendly. For the characterization, FTIR, SEM-EDS, DLS, and pHzpc were analyzed. It was discovered that the removal percentage reached 97% with an adsorption capacity of 242.51 mg/g for 60 minutes at pH 10. The adsorption isotherm and kinetic model were investigated. As a result, the Freundlich model and pseudo-second-order model were fitted to the adsorption process. Moreover, the effect of other ions was investigated for 5 minutes of mixing time. The results showed that the removal percentage increased in the presence of H2O2 ion. Contrary to sodium chloride, glucose, and citric acid ions, the effectiveness of H2SO4 as a desorbing agent was 99.65% for 30 minutes at 45°C.

Repurposing spent filter sand from iron and manganese removal systems as an adsorbent for treating arsenic contaminated drinking water. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 302:114115.

Abstract
Waterworks which utilise river bank filtration water sources often have to apply aeration and sand filtration to remove iron and manganese during the drinking water treatment process. After some time, the sand becomes saturated and the spent filter sand (SFS) must be disposed of and replaced. In order to valorize this waste stream, this paper investigates the reuse of SFS as an adsorbent for the treatment of arsenic contaminated drinking water. The arsenic removal performance of SFS is compared with two synthetic iron oxide coated sands (IOCS). The sorbents were first characterized by SEM, EDS, BET specific surface area, and point of zero charge (pHpzc) measurements, and then investigated under a variety of conditions. The surface of the SFS was revealed to be coated with iron manganese binary oxide. The Freundlich model best described the isotherm experiment data, indicating a non monolayer adsorption model for arsenic adsorption on the three IOCS investigated. As(III) and As(V) removals were negatively effected by the presence of PO43- and HA anions as they competed with the arsenic species for adsorption sites. However, given the status of SFS as a waste material, the results obtained in this paper suggest it may be successfully reused as a very economically and environmentally sustainable solution for small waterworks requiring both As(V) and As(III) removal during drinking water treatment.

Abstract
The co-existence of heavy metals and organics in industrial effluents is a prevalent problem. These pollutants usually have dissimilar compositions and properties, making their complete removal very tedious even with the use of conventional methods. In some cases, organics and heavy metals usually exist in a mixed matrix in industrial wastes. This poses harmful health risks to humans, aquatic lives and the entire ecosystem, because majority of these mixed pollutants amass in water in concentrations which are more than the permissible discharge limits in the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to remove these pollutants in order to prevent them from contaminating both the surface and ground water. Although, the removal of organic compounds and heavy metals (such as Hg, Pb, Cd, As and Cr) could be easily achieved individually, however, these pollutants exist together in many industrial effluents and even in surface waters. Hence the complete removal of these pollutants concurrently in a polluted system is the focus of this study. Several technologies have been used for the simultaneous removal of organics and heavy metal pollutants from water, which includes adsorption, ion exchange, photocatalysis, and coagulation. The success of these techniques depends on the water matrices and the choice of water treatment media such as adsorbents, resins, photocatalysts, and coagulants. The advantages and limitations of these technologies together with their respective mathematical modelling is critically examined in this review. Finally, the effect of joint existence of organic pollutants and heavy metals on the removal efficiency were examined in addition to the mathematical models that discusses the mechanisms of their combine elimination.

Abstract
Herein, a novel nanocomposite (Fe3O4@TATS@ATA) was prepared and used for adsorptive removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous environment. The magnetic nanocomposite (Fe3O4@TATS@ATA) was characterized using FTIR, TEM, SEM, EDX, element mapping analysis (EMA), TGA analysis, XRD patterns, VSM, BET analysis, XPS spectrum, and zeta potential. The FTIR study confirmed the modification of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with triaminetriethoxysilane and 2-aminoterephthalic acid while XPS analysis (with peaks at 283.6, 285.1, 286.3, 284.5.0, 288.4 eV) displayed the presence of CSi, CN, OCNH, CC/CC and OCO functional groups, respectively on Fe3O4@TATS@ATA. The BET surface area, average pore size, pore volume and magnetization saturation for Fe3O4@TATS@ATA were found to be 114 m2/g, 6.4 nm, 0.054 cm-3/g, and 22 emu/g, respectively. The adsorption isotherm data showed that Pb(II) adsorption onto Fe3O4@TATS@ATA fitted to Langmuir and Dubinin-Raduskevich isotherm model due to better R2 value which was greater than 0.9 and qm of Pb(II) was 205.2 mg/g at pH 5.7 in 150 min. Adsorption kinetics data displayed that Pb(II) adsorption onto Fe3O4@TATS@ATA was fitted to the pseudo-second-order and Elovich kinetic models. Thermodynamic outcomes exhibited the exothermic and spontaneous nature of adsorption. Results showed that Fe3O4@TATS@ATA nanocomposite was promising material for efficient removal of toxic Pb(II) from aqueous environment.

Abstract
Sand as a filter media is often challenged by the presence of organics in the form of natural organic matter, metal ions, and various micropollutants in the source water. It is mainly due to the presence of limited active adsorption sites and low surface area that governs an ineffective adsorption potential of the sand material. Herein, graphitized sand was synthesized to tackle the above limitations using two sugar solution sources: a) brewery effluent (as a low-cost solution) (GS1) and; b) sucrose solution (GS2). GS1 showed 68%, 60%, and 99% higher maximum adsorption constant (qmax) for divalent metal ions: iron, copper, and manganese, respectively as compared to raw sand (RS). Coating of MnO2 over the graphitized sand (GSMs: GS1M and GS2M) further helped in Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) removal (3%-9%) when inoculated with MC-LR-degraders, but was not as effective in removing metals, organic carbon and nitrogen when compared to just graphitized sand (GS1 or GS2). Inoculating GS and GSMs (for both sugar sources) not only helped in higher MC-LR removal (10%-15% more) but also enhanced the removal of other water contaminants including metals, organic nitrogen, and carbon. GS1 showed 20% and 50% more MC-LR removal than the sand material when tested at a low and high initial concentration of MC-LR (5 µg/L and 50 µg/L). The highest breakthrough period was obtained for GS1 filter using 1 mg/L Rhodamine-B dye, which was 12 times (48 min) more than the raw sand filter and almost 2.5 times (second best, 21 min) than GS1M. After three cycles of regeneration and reuse of GS1 filter, a decrease of just 14% in saturation adsorption capacity indicated its high reusability aspects.

Abstract
To improve the adsorption performance of Cd(II) by maifanite in constructed rapid infiltration systems (CRIS), Mg-layered double hydroxides (MgAl-LDHs, MgFe-LDHs) are prepared by a co-precipitation method and in-situ coated on the surface of original maifanite. Characterization of the successful LDHs-coating modification is realized by the following: scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET). In the purification experiments, the average removal rates of Cd(II) were 97.66% for maifanite/MgAl-LDHs and 97.54% for maifanite/MgFe-LDHs, approximately 11% greater than for the original maifanite. Isothermal adsorption experiments and adsorption kinetic experiments were conducted to explore the Cd(II) adsorption mechanism. The modified maifanite demonstrated a higher Langmuir adsorption capacity and stronger surface bond energies compared to the original maifanite. The adsorption type of Cd(II) by maifanite/Mg-LDHs and original maifanite was monolayer adsorption based mainly on chemical adsorption. Furthermore, the extracellular polymeric substances and dehydrogenase activities of the microorganisms were measured and analyzed to study the effect of microorganisms on the removal of Cd(II) in the test columns. High-throughput sequencing technology was also applied to analyze the composition and diversity of bacterial communities. Based on a simple estimation, the synthesis cost of maifanite/MgAl-LDHs was only ¥ 0.33/Kg. In brief, maifanite/Mg-LDHs is an efficient and economical substrate for a CRIS for Cd(II) removal.

Abstract
Modern-day practices are the major contributors in water quality deterioration, consequently results in clean water scarcity. Herein, co-precipitation procedure was adopted to develop a nanomagnetic copper ferrite/drumstick pod biomass (CuFe2O4/DC) composite, which was characterized, and optimized to sequester malachite green (MG) and lead (Pb(II)) in unary and binary systems from aqueous environment. Mesoporous CuFe2O4/DC surface with 16.96 m2/g BET surface area and acid functionalities predominance was observed. Under the studied experimental conditions, MG adsorption on CuFe2O4/DC in unary system was comparatively higher than that of Pb(II). MG and Pb(II) equilibrium results were fitted to Langmuir isotherm model, their respective maximum monolayer adsorption capacities at 328 K being 952.4 and 921.1 mg/g. On the other hand, binary system (in presence of MG) fastened Pb(II) adsorption kinetics and increased its uptake capacity. Additionally, humic acid (HA) matrix enhanced Pb(II) adsorption kinetics. Recovery studies showed maximal MG and Pb(II) elution with C2H5OH and 0.1 mol/L HCl, respectively. An 82.7% drop in Pb(II) adsorption was found after the first regeneration cycle, while only 17.6% fall in MG adsorption was witnessed after five consecutive regeneration cycles. Hence, it could be concluded that CuFe2O4/DC is a cost-effective and promising adsorbent for an efficient and rapid removal of Pb(II) and MG from both unary and binary systems.

Abstract
Efforts to improve water quality have led to the development of green and sustainable water treatment approaches. Herein, nitrogen-doped magnetized hydrochar (mSBHC-N) was synthesized, characterized, and used for the removal of post-transition and transition heavy metals, viz. Pb2+ and Cd2+ from aqueous environment. mSBHC-N was found to be mesoporous (BET surface area - 62.5 m2/g) and paramagnetic (saturation magnetization - 44 emu/g). Both, FT-IR (with peaks at 577, 1065, 1609 and 3440 cm-1 corresponding to Fe - O stretching vibrations, C - N stretching, N - H in-plane deformation and stretching) and XPS analyses (with peaks at 284.4, 400, 530, 710 eV due to C 1s, N 1s, O 1s, and Fe 2p) confirmed the presence of oxygen and nitrogen containing functional groups on mSBHC-N. The adsorption of Pb2+ and Cd2+ was governed by oxygen and nitrogen functionalities through electrostatic and co-ordination forces. 75-80% of Pb2+ and Cd2+ adsorption at Co: 25 mg/L, either from deionized water or humic acid solution was accomplished within 15 min. The data was fitted to pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models, with maximum monolayer adsorption capacities being 323 and 357 mg/g for Cd2+and Pb2+ at 318 K, respectively. Maximum Cd2+ (82.6%) and Pb2+ (78.7%) were eluted with 0.01 M HCl, simultaneously allowing minimum iron leaching (2.73%) from mSBHC-N. In conclusion, the study may provide a novel, economical, and clean route to utilize agro-waste, such as sugarcane bagasse (SB), for aquatic environment remediation.

Abstract
Point-of-use water treatment technologies can help mitigate risks from drinking water contamination, particularly for metals (and metalloids) that originate in distribution systems (e.g., chromium, lead, copper) or are naturally occurring in private groundwater wells (e.g., arsenic). Here, composite nanofibers of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) with embedded hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles were synthesized via a single-pot electrospinning synthesis. A core-shell nanofiber composite was also prepared through the subsequent hydrothermal growth of α-Fe2O3 nanostructures on embedded hematite composites. Properties of embedded hematite composites were controlled using electrospinning synthesis variables (e.g., size and loading of embedded α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles), whereas core-shell composites were also tailored via hydrothermal treatment conditions (e.g., soluble iron concentration and duration). Although uptake of Cu(II), Pb(II), Cr(VI), and As(V) was largely independent of the core-shell variables explored, metal uptake on embedded nanofibers increased with α-Fe2O3 loading. Both materials exhibited maximum surface-area-normalized sorption capacities that were comparable to α-Fe2O3 nanoparticle dispersions and exceeded that of a commercial iron oxide based sorbent. Further, both types of composite exhibited strong performance across a range of environmentally relevant pH values (6.0-8.0). Notably, core-shell structures, with a majority of surface accessible α-Fe2O3, performed far better than embedded composites in kinetically limited flow through systems than was anticipated from their relative performance in equilibrium batch systems. Core-shell nanofiber filters also retained much of the durability and flexibility exhibited by embedded nanofibers. Additional tests with authentic groundwater samples demonstrated the ability of the core-shell nanofiber filters to remove simultaneously both As and suspended solids, illustrating their promise as a nano-enabled technology for point-of-use water treatment.

Abstract
In this study, hierarchically three-dimensional (3D) nanotubular sea urchin-shaped iron oxide nanostructures (3D-Fe2O3) were synthesized by a facile and rapid ultrasound irradiation method. Additives, templates, inert gas atmosphere, pH regulation, and other complicated procedures were not required. Dense 3D-Fe2O3 with a relatively large Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 129.4 m2/g was synthesized within 23 min, and the BET surface area was further improved to 282.7 m2/g by a post heat-treatment process. In addition, this post processing led to phase changes from maghemite (γ phase) to hematite (α phase) Fe2O3. Subsequent characterization suggested that the growth mechanism of the 3D-Fe2O3 follows self-assembly and oriented attachment. The prepared 3D-Fe2O3 was applied to wastewater purification. Ultrasound-irradiated 3D-Fe2O3 can eliminate a As(V) and Cr(VI) from water with 25 times faster removal rate by using a one third smaller amount than commercial α-Fe2O3. This was attributed to the inter-particle pores and relatively positively charged surface of the nanostructure. In addition, post heat treatment on ultrasound-irradiated 3D-Fe2O3 significantly influenced the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and phenol, with a 25 times higher removal efficiency than that of commercial α-Fe2O3, because of both high BET surface area and good crystallization of the prepared samples.

Abstract
The influence of polymer aging, water pH, and aqueous Pb concentration on Pb deposition onto low density polyethylene (LDPE) was investigated. LDPE pellets were aged by ozonation at 85 °C. ATR-FTIR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of aged LDPE surfaces showed that a variety of polar functional groups (>CO<, >CO, >COO) were formed during aging. These functional groups likely provided better nucleation sites for Pb(OH)2 deposition compared to new LDPE, which did not have these oxygen-containing functional groups. The type and amount of Pb species present on these surfaces were evaluated through XPS. The influence of exposure duration on Pb deposition onto LDPE was modeled using the pseudo-first-order equation. Distribution ratios of 251.5 for aged LDPE and 69.3 for new LDPE showed that Pb precipitates had greater affinity for the surface of aged LDPE compared to new LDPE. Aged LDPE had less Pb surface loading at pH 11 compared to loading at pH 7.8. Pb surface loading for aged LDPE changed linearly with aging duration (from 0.5-7.5 h). Pb surface loading on both new and aged LDPE increased linearly with increasing Pb initial concentration. Greater Pb precipitation rates were found for aged LDPE compared to new LDPE at both tested pH values.

Abstract
To enhance the removal of natural organic matter (NOM) in ceramic (Ce) membrane filtration, an iron-aluminum binary oxide (FAO) was applied to the ceramic membrane surface as the adsorbent cake layer, and it was compared with heated aluminum oxide (HAO) for the evaluation of the control of NOM. Both the HAO and FAO adsorbent cake layers efficiently removed the NOM regardless of NOM's hydrophobic/hydrophilic characteristics, and the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal in NOM for FAO was 1-1.12 times greater than that for HAO, which means FAO was more efficient in the removal of DOC in NOM. FAO (0.03 μm), which is smaller in size than HAO (0.4 μm), had greater flux reduction than HAO. The flux reduction increased as the filtration proceeded because most of the organic foulants (colloid/particles and soluble NOM) were captured by the adsorbent cake layer, which caused fouling between the membrane surface and the adsorbent cake layer. However, no chemically irreversible fouling was observed on the Ce membrane at the end of the FAO adsorbent cake layer filtration. This means that a stable adsorbent cake layer by FAO formed on the Ce membrane, and that the reduced pure water flux of the Ce membrane, resulting from the NOM fouling, can easily be recovered through physicochemical cleaning.

Abstract
The adsorption characteristics of three types of standard natural organic matter (NOM) on iron-aluminum (Fe-Al) binary oxide (FAO) and heated aluminum oxide (HAO) under natural surface water condition were investigated using various adsorption isotherms and kinetic models. FAO was synthesized by Fe oxide and Al oxide, mixed using the sol-gel hydrothermal method, and aluminum sulfate was used to make HAO. The amount of adsorbed NOM was increased to 79.6 mg g-1 for humic acid (HA), 101.1 mg g-1 for sodium alginate (SA) in the FAO, but the maximum adsorption capacity of bovine serum albumin (BSA) (461.3 mg g-1) was identified on the HAO. The adsorption of HA, BSA, and SA dramatically increased (>70%) on FAO in 5 min and HA was significantly removed (90%) among the three NOM. Mutual interaction among the adsorbed NOM (BSA) occurred on the HAO surface during adsorption due to formation of monolayer by protein molecules at neutral pH. The pseudo second order clearly represented the adsorption kinetics for both adsorbents. The equilibrium isotherm data of FAO was better exhibited by the Langmuir isotherm model than by the Freundlich isotherm, but HAO was a slightly non-linear Langmuir type. Also, the free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of adsorption were determined from the thermodynamic experiments. Adsorption on FAO was spontaneous and an exothermic process. Fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (FEEM) spectra were used to elucidate the variation in organic components. The results obtained suggests that the significant changes in the surface property of the adsorbent (large surface area, increased crystalline intensity, and fine particle size) were effectively determined by the Fe-synthesized Al oxide mixed using the sol-gel hydrothermal method. The results also suggest that the changes enhanced the adsorption capacity, whereby three NOM were notably removed on FAO regardless of NOM characteristics (hydrophobic and hydrophilic).

Abstract
Despite the large number of pharmaceutically active compounds found in natural environments little is known about their transport behavior in groundwater, which is complicated by their wide range of physical and chemical properties. The transport behavior of five widely used and often detected pharmaceutical compounds and one lifestyle drug has therefore been investigated, using a set of three column experiments. The investigated compounds were the anticonvulsant carbamazepine, the lifestyle drug caffeine, the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole, the lipid regulator gemfibrozil, and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories ibuprofen and naproxen. The columns were filled with three different types of sand. The substrates consisted of artificially prepared iron-coated sand, artificially prepared organic carbon sand (with 5% leaf compost), and natural aquifer sand from Long Point, Ontario (Canada). The experiments were conducted simultaneously under the same hydraulic conditions and with the same input solution of about 1μg·L-1 of each compound. The transport behavior of the organic compounds differed significantly between both the different columns and the different compounds. A strong correlation was observed between the retardation factors for carbamazepine, gemfibrozil, and ibuprofen and the organic carbon content of the substrate. While the retardation increased with increasing organic carbon content, no direct relationship was observed between the organic carbon content and the removal of these compounds. In contrast, the retardation factors for sulfamethoxazole and naproxen showed no correlation with the organic carbon content but these compounds were significantly removed in the presence of organic matter. The influence of the Fe3+ surfaces in the iron-coated sand was less significant than expected, with all compounds except for sulfamethoxazole having retardation factors <1.8. Caffeine was so strongly removed during transport through those substrates containing organic carbon that no reliable retardation factor could be determined.

Abstract
This study compares ozonation (O3), iron coated zeolite catalyzed ozonation (ICZ-O3) and granular activated carbon catalyzed ozonation (GAC-O3) for removal of humic acid from an aqueous solution. The results were evaluated by the removal of DOC that specifies organic matter, UV254 absorbance, SUVA (Specific Ultraviolet Absorbance at 254 nm) and absorbance at 436 nm. When ozonation was used alone, DOC removal was 21.4% at an ozone concentration of 10 mg/L, pH 6.50 and oxidation time of 60 min. The results showed that the use of ICZ or GAC as a catalyst increased the decomposition of humic acid compared to ozonation alone. DOC removal efficiencies were 62% and 48.1% at pH 6.5, at a catalyst loading of 0.75 g/L, and oxidation time of 60 min for ICZ and GAC, respectively. The oxidation experiments were also carried out using <100 kDa and <50 kDa molecular size fractions of humic acid in the presence of ICZ or GAC. Catalytic ozonation also yielded better DOC and UV254 reduction in both <50 kDa and <100 kDa fractions of HA compared to ozonation.

Abstract
The oxidative removal of natural organic matter (NOM) from waters was investigated by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and iron-coated pumice particles in heterogeneous catalytic oxidation process (HCOP). Removal of trihalomethane (THM) precursors, which is formed THM by the reacts with chloride, was performed with the hydroxyl radicals. Coating the original pumice particles with iron oxides significantly enhanced the removal of NOM with peroxide. The studies were carried out in two sections: (1) decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in pure water with iron-coated pumice and (2) oxidation of THM Precursor (NOM) by hydrogen peroxide with iron-coated pumice. The monitored parameters in this study include dissolved organic carbon and trihalomethanes formation potential. The results show that iron-coated pumice catalyst significantly increased the removal efficiency of NOM in the HCOP. The results show that iron-coated pumice catalyst significantly increased the removal efficiency of NOM in the HCOP. Results show that the oxidation of NOM and remaining NOM with H2O2 is improved by the addition of iron-coated pumice particles which activate the H2O2 molecule, leading to the formation of hydroxyl radicals in a Fenton-like process.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to combine adsorptive and catalytic properties of iron oxide surfaces in a hybrid process using hydrogen peroxide and iron oxide-coated pumice particles to remove natural organic matter (NOM) in water. Experiments were conducted in batch, completely mixed reactors using various original and coated pumice particles. The results showed that both adsorption and catalytic oxidation mechanisms played role in the removal of NOM. The hybrid process was found to be effective in removing NOM from water having a wide range of specific UV absorbance values. Iron oxide surfaces preferentially adsorbed UV280-absorbing NOM fractions. Furthermore, the strong oxidants produced from reactions among iron oxide surfaces and hydrogen peroxide also preferentially oxidized UV280-absorbing NOM fractions. Preloading of iron oxide surfaces with NOM slightly reduced the further NOM removal performance of the hybrid process. Overall, the results suggested that the tested hybrid process may be effective for removal of NOM and control disinfection by-product formation.

Abstract
The removal of heavy metals from electroplating wastewater is a matter of paramount importance due to their high toxicity causing major environmental pollution problems. Nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) became more effective to remove heavy metals from electroplating wastewater when enhanced chitosan (CS) beads were introduced as a support material in permeable reactive barriers (PRBs). The removal rate of Cr (VI) decreased with an increase of pH and initial Cr (VI) concentration. However, the removal rates of Cu (II), Cd (II) and Pb (II) increased with an increase of pH while decreased with an increase of their initial concentrations. The initial concentrations of heavy metals showed an effect on their removal sequence. Scanning electron microscope images showed that CS-NZVI beads enhanced by ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE) had a loose and porous surface with a nucleus-shell structure. The pore size of the nucleus ranged from 19.2 to 138.6 μm with an average aperture size of around 58.6 μm. The shell showed a tube structure and electroplating wastewaters may reach NZVI through these tubes. X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS) demonstrated that the reduction of Cr (VI) to Cr (III) was complete in less than 2 h. Cu (II) and Pb (II) were removed via predominant reduction and auxiliary adsorption. However, main adsorption and auxiliary reduction worked for the removal of Cd (II). The removal rate of total Cr, Cu (II), Cd (II) and Pb (II) from actual electroplating wastewater was 89.4%, 98.9%, 94.9% and 99.4%, respectively. The findings revealed that EGDE-CS-NZVI-beads PRBs had the capacity to remediate actual electroplating wastewater and may become an effective and promising technology for in situ remediation of heavy metals.

Abstract
Fine iron oxide particles (IOPs) are effective in removing natural organic matter (NOM) that causes membrane fouling in water treatment, but the separation of used IOPs is problematic. This study focused on the fabrication and use of granular iron oxide adsorbents, in combination with ultrafiltration (UF) membranes while investigating the NOM removal efficiency and fouling control. Sulfonated styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer beads were coated with two types of iron oxides (ferrihydrite and magnetite) and their performances were compared to that of fine IOPs. A significant amount of iron oxide coating (52-63 mg of Fe per g bead) was achieved by means of electrostatic binding and hydrolysis of iron ions. Iron oxide coated polymer (IOCP) beads were able to remove some amounts (≈ 20%) of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) comparable to that achieved by IOPs within a short period of time (<15 min). Regenerated IOCPs exhibited the same sorption capacity as the fresh ones. The integrated IOCP/UF system operation with a 15-min empty bed contact time and 10-h cyclic regeneration maintained the 20% DOC removal with no sign of significant membrane fouling. In contrast, a sharp transmembrane pressure buildup occurred in the UF system when no iron oxide pretreatment was applied, regardless of the types of membranes tested. Iron oxide adsorbed the NOM fraction with molecular weights of >1000 kDa which is believed to be responsible for severe UF fouling.

Abstract
We investigated the structural and optical properties of the hierarchically integrated zinc oxide (ZnO) branched submicrorods on carbon fibers (ZOCF) by scanning/transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The ZnO submicrorods were facilely synthesized by an electrochemical deposition method on polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber sheets used as a substrate. After coating the ZnO seed layer on the surface of the carbon fibers, ZnO submicrorods were densely grown on the nuclei sites of the seed layer. The prepared ZOCF samples exhibited high crystallinity and good PL properties. A feasibility for environmental application in Pb(II) removal from aqueous solutions was also studied. The ZOCF adsorbent exhibited an excellent maximum adsorption capacity of 245.07 mg g-1, which could be practically used in Pb(II) removal from water. These fabricated ZOCFs are potentially useful for multifunctional and environmental devices.

Abstract
Nanosized metal oxides (NMOs), including nanosized ferric oxides, manganese oxides, aluminum oxides, titanium oxides, magnesium oxides and cerium oxides, provide high surface area and specific affinity for heavy metal adsorption from aqueous systems. To date, it has become a hot topic to develop new technologies to synthesize NMOs, to evaluate their removal of heavy metals under varying experimental conditions, to reveal the underlying mechanism responsible for metal removal based on modern analytical techniques (XAS, ATR-FT-IR, NMR, etc.) or mathematical models, and to develop metal oxide-based materials of better applicability for practical use (such as granular oxides or composite materials). The present review mainly focuses on NMOs' preparation, their physicochemical properties, adsorption characteristics and mechanism, as well as their application in heavy metal removal. In addition, porous host supported NMOs are particularly concerned because of their great advantages for practical application as compared to the original NMOs. Also, some magnetic NMOs were included due to their unique separation performance.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoadsorbents are cost-effective adsorbents that provide high adsorption capacity, rapid adsorption rate and simple separation and regeneration. In this study, Fe(3)O(4) nanoadsorbents have been employed for the removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions by a batch-adsorption technique. The effects of contact time, initial concentration of Pb(II) ions, temperature, solution pH and coexisting ions on the amount of Pb(II) adsorbed have been investigated. Pb(II) adsorption was fast, and equilibrium was achieved within 30 min. The amount of Pb(II) adsorbed increased as temperature increased, suggesting an endothermic adsorption. The optimal pH value for Pb(II) adsorption was around 5.5. Furthermore, the addition of coexisting cations such as Ca(2+), Ni(2+), Co(2+), and Cd(2+) has no remarkable influence on Pb(II) removal efficiency. The adsorption equilibrium data fitted very well to Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models. The thermodynamics of Pb(II) adsorption onto the Fe(3)O(4) nanoadsorbents indicated that the adsorption was spontaneous, endothermic and physical in nature. The desorption and regeneration studies have proven that Fe(3)O(4) nanoadsorbents can be employed repeatedly without impacting its adsorption capacity.

Abstract
The main objective of this work was to study the effectiveness of iron oxide-coated pumice and volcanic slag particles in removing disinfection by-product (DBP) precursors from a raw drinking water source with high specific UV absorbance (SUVA(254)) value. Iron oxide coating of particles significantly increased dissolved organic carbon (DOC) uptakes and decreased DBP formation after chlorination compared to uncoated particles. pH values close to neutral levels during adsorption and chlorination provided DOC, trihalomethane and haloacetic acid reductions around 60-75% employing 6 g/L coated particle dosage. Higher degree of DOC and DBP reductions (>85%) were obtained with increasing particle dose. The uptake of bromide by iron oxide surfaces was negligible and increasing bromide concentrations (up to 550 μg/L) did not negatively impact the DOC uptake. However, due to competition between natural organic matter (NOM) and bicarbonate for the iron oxide surfaces, increasing bicarbonate alkalinity levels reduced DOC uptakes. Overall, the results indicated that the iron oxide-coated pumice/slag particles are effective adsorbents to remove NOM and control DBP formation in waters with relatively high DOC and SUVA(254) levels. However, they may not be effective for waters with alkalinity levels above 250 mg CaCO(3)/L.

Abstract
Iron-coated waste filtration sand was investigated as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of nitrilotris(methylenephosphonic acid) (NTMP) from membrane concentrates. The adsorption of this phosphonate-based antiscalant on this material was measured and compared with two commercially available anion exchange resins and activated carbon. Comprehensive adsorption experiments were conducted in several synthetic concentrate solutions and in a concentrate collected from a full scale nano-filtration brackish water desalination plant. The effect of pH, ionic strength and the presence of competitive anions on the equilibrium adsorption were investigated. The results showed that, in contrast to the anion exchange resins, the adsorption on coated filtration sand is not suppressed at increasing ionic strength and is much less affected by the competitive anions carbonate and sulphate. The adsorption decreased slightly when the pH was raised from 7.0 to 8.0. The adsorption isotherms in the real nano-filtration concentrate, measured in the concentration interval of 5-50 mg dm(-1) NTMP, showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of coated filtration sand was 4.06 mg g(-1). The adsorption capacity per unit mass of the adsorbents at low NTMP concentration (12.5 mg dm(-3)) followed the decreasing order Amberlite IRA-410>coated filtration sand>Amberlite IRA-900>Norit SAE Super. This demonstrates that the use of iron-coated waste filtration sand offers a promising means for the removal of NTMP from membrane concentrates.

Abstract
Mechanisms contributing to the adsorption of natural organic matter (NOM) on surfactant-modified iron oxide-coated sand (IOCS) were explored by microscopic surface characterization techniques and adsorption tests. Electrostatic interactions that were thought to be from the positively charged, surface-coated surfactant, hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium (HDTMA), seemed to be unimportant, likely because the outward-pointing tail groups of the surface-coated HDTMA monolayers hindered the interactions. Improved hydrophobic interactions followed by ligand exchange are believed to be the dominant mechanisms. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) force analysis with chemically modified tips was used to explore the adsorption mechanisms between NOM and IOCS, where an iron oxide-coated mica surface was utilized as a substitute for the IOCS surface. It demonstrates the changes of pull-on forces and the increases in hydrophobic interactions from the modification of IOCS with HDTMA.

Abstract
Iron oxide-coated sand (IOCS) was modified with hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium (HDTMA) and tested as an adsorbent for the removal of natural organic matter (NOM) from water. The modification did not change the physical properties of the IOCS but coated HDTMA onto its surface. The HDTMA-modified IOCS displayed a faster initial NOM adsorption and substantially higher capacity than the unmodified IOCS over a wide pH range in both batch and column adsorption. The enhancement was more pronounced at higher pH. Compared to unmodified IOCS, the HDTMA-modified IOCS removed more hydrophobic and larger NOM molecules and its NOM adsorption was less sensitive to the changes in ionic strength. The adsorption capacity of the modified IOCS was regenerated in-situ with NaOH solution and ex-situ with HDTMA solution. HDTMA-modified IOCS adsorption may be a promising alternative technology for NOM removal.
