Abstract
Huge amounts of noxious chemicals from coal and petrochemical refineries and pharmaceutical industries are released into water bodies. These chemicals are highly toxic and cause adverse effects on both aquatic and terrestrial life. The removal of hazardous contaminants from industrial effluents is expensive and environmentally driven. The majority of the technologies applied nowadays for the removal of phenols and other contaminants are based on physio-chemical processes such as solvent extraction, chemical precipitation, and adsorption. The removal efficiency of toxic chemicals, especially phenols, is low with these technologies when the concentrations are very low. Furthermore, the major drawbacks of these technologies are the high operation costs and inadequate selectivity. To overcome these limitations, researchers are applying biological and membrane technologies together, which are gaining more attention because of their ease of use, high selectivity, and effectiveness. In the present review, the microbial degradation of phenolics in combination with intensified membrane bioreactors (MBRs) has been discussed. Important factors, including the origin and mode of phenols' biodegradation as well as the characteristics of the membrane bioreactors for the optimal removal of phenolic contaminants from industrial effluents are considered. The modifications of MBRs for the removal of phenols from various wastewater sources have also been addressed in this review article. The economic analysis on the cost and benefits of MBR technology compared with conventional wastewater treatments is discussed extensively.

Abstract
The upgrade of sustainable resource waste into a valuable and beneficial material is an urgent task. The current paper outlines the development of an economical, sustainable, and prolonged adsorbent derived from Sargassum siliquastrum biomass and its use for potent 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) removal. A simple carbonization approach was applied to obtain the highly functionalized carbon structure, which was subsequently transformed into a novel magnetic nanoadsorbent. The magnetic nanoadsorbent was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET)-specific surface area, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The characterization results confirm the successful formation of a high specific surface area and a uniform distribution of Fe3O4/NiS NPs grafted activated carbon. The adsorption kinetics was more accurately described via the pseudo-second order model; nevertheless, the isothermal data showed that the Langmuir model was most suitable. The monolayer adsorption capacity for 2,4-D was 208.26 ± 15.75 mg/g at 328 K. The favourability and spontaneity of the adsorption process were demonstrated by thermodynamic studies. The adsorbent displayed exceptional selectivity for 2,4-D and high stability in multi-cycle use. Electrostatic attraction, π-π stacking, and hydrogen bonding were all believed to have an impact on the sorbent's robust 2,4-D adsorption. Analyses of real tap and Nile River water samples showed little effect of the sample matrix on 2,4-D adsorption. This study presents an innovative approach for developing highly efficient adsorbent from natural biomass and offers an affordable way to recycle algal waste into beneficial materials.

Abstract
Waste cigarette filters mainly contain hardly degradable cellulose acetate, toxic nicotine, and traces of heavy metals, and therefore cause environmental pollution hazards when discarded. In order to convert cigarette butt waste into a valuable product, this article investigates the preparation of activated carbon from cigarette butts via a two-step process of hydrothermal reaction and a subsequent chemical activation with phosphoric acid as an activator. During hydrothermal reaction, it was found that a process of decarboxylation and dehydration cleavage of acetate occurs, leading to micron fragments and subsequent agglomeration into carbonaceous micro-spheres. The cigarette-butts-derived activated carbon micro-spheres have a high BET surface area of ∼ 1406 m2/g and NH3 adsorption capacity of ∼ 35.9 mg/g. It was revealed that the ammonia adsorption capacity tends to be positively and linearly correlated with the acidic functional group content of the activated carbon surface while negatively with BET surface area.

Abstract
The increasing consumption of phenoxyacetic acid-derived herbicides is becoming a major public health and environmental concern, posing a serious challenge to existing conventional water treatment systems. Among the various physicochemical and biological purification processes, adsorption is considered one of the most efficient and popular techniques due to its high removal efficiency, ease of operation, and cost effectiveness. This review article provides extensive literature information on the adsorption of phenoxyacetic herbicides by various adsorbents. The purpose of this article is to organize the scattered information on the currently used adsorbents for herbicide removal from the water, such as activated carbons, carbon and silica adsorbents, metal oxides, and numerous natural and industrial waste materials known as low-cost adsorbents. The adsorption capacity of these adsorbents was compared for the two most popular phenoxyacetic herbicides, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA). The application of various kinetic models and adsorption isotherms in describing the removal of these herbicides by the adsorbents was also presented and discussed. At the beginning of this review paper, the most important information on phenoxyacetic herbicides has been collected, including their classification, physicochemical properties, and occurrence in the environment.

Investigation of the performance of activated carbon cloth to remove glyphosate, glufosinate, aminomethylphosphonic acid and bialaphos from aqueous solutions by adsorption/electrosorption. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT 2023; 195:814. [PMID: 37286884 DOI: 10.1007/s10661-023-11395-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
The present study investigates the removal of glyphosate, glufosinate, aminomethylphosphonic acid and bialaphos herbicides from their 5 × 10-5 M aqueous solutions onto activated carbon cloth by adsorption and electrosorption. Analysis of these highly polar herbicides was achieved by UV-visible absorbance measurements, after derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl chloride. The limit of quantification values of glyphosate, glufosinate, aminomethylphosphonic acid and bialaphos were 1.06 × 10-6 mol L-1, 1.38 × 10-6 mol L-1, 1.32 × 10-6 mol L-1 and 1.08 × 10-6 mol L-1, respectively. Glyphosate, glufosinate, aminomethylphosphonic acid and bialaphos were removed from their aqueous solutions with higher efficiencies by means of electrosorption (78.2%, 94.9%, 82.3% and 97%, respectively) than of open-circuit adsorption (42.5%, 22%, 6.9% and 81.8%, respectively). Experimental kinetic data were fitted to pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models. It was determined that pseudo-second order kinetic model represents experimental data better with satisfactory coefficient of determination, r2 (> 0.985) and normalized percent deviation, P (< 5.15) values. Adsorption isotherm data were treated according to Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. Based on the r2 (> 0.98) and P (< 5.9) values, it was found that experimental data well fitted to Freundlich isotherm model. Adsorption capacities of activated carbon cloth for glyphosate, glufosinate, aminomethylphosphonic acid and bialaphos, expressed in terms of Freundlich constant, were calculated as 20.31, 118.73, 239.33 and 30.68 mmol g-1, respectively. The results show that the studied ACC can be used in home/business water treatment systems as an adsorbent due to its high adsorption capacity.

Abstract
Control over the shape and morphology of single crystals is a theme of great interest in fundamental science and for technological application. Many synthetic strategies to achieve this goal are inspired by biomineralization processes. Indeed, organisms are able to produce crystals with high fidelity in shape and morphology utilizing macromolecules that act as modifiers. An alternative strategy can be the recovery of crystals from biomineralization products, in this case, seashells. In particular, waste mussel shells from aquaculture are considered. They are mainly built up of single crystals of calcite fibers and aragonite tablets forming an outer and an inner layer, respectively. A simple mechanochemical treatment has been developed to separate and recover these two typologies of single crystals. The characterization of these single crystals showed peculiar properties with respect to the calcium carbonate from quarry or synthesis. We exploited these biomaterials in the water remediation field using them as substrate adsorbing dyes. We found that these substrates show a high capability of adsorption for anionic dye, such as Eosin Y, but a low capability of adsorption for cationic dyes, such as Blue Methylene. The adsorption was reversible at pH 5.6. This application represents just an example of the potential use of these biogenic single crystals. We also envision potential applications as reinforcing fillers and optical devices.

Abstract
The residual bark of the tree species Campomanesia guazumifolia was successfully modified with H2SO4 and applied to remove the toxic herbicide 2.4-dichlorophenoxyacetic (2.4-D) from aqueous solutions. The characterization techniques made it possible to observe that the material maintained its amorphous structure; however, a new FTIR band emerged, indicating the interaction of the lignocellulosic matrix with sulfuric acid. Micrographs showed that the material maintained its irregular shape; however, new spaces and cavities appeared after the acidic modification. Regardless of the herbicide concentration, the system tended to equilibrium after 120 min. Using the best statistical coefficients, the Elovich model was the one that best fitted the kinetic data. The temperature increase in the system negatively influenced the adsorption of 2.4-D, reaching a maximum capacity of 312.81 mg g-1 at 298 K. The equilibrium curves showed a better fit to the Tóth model. Thermodynamic parameters confirmed the exothermic nature of the system (ΔH0 = -59.86 kJ mol-1). As a residue obtained from urban pruning, the bark of Campomanesia guazumifolia treated with sulfuric acid is a promising and highly efficient alternative for removing the widely used and toxic 2.4-D herbicide from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
In this work, peanut (Arachis hypogaea) skin, a by-product generated by the agricultural production of its seeds, was employed as a precursor in the preparation of an adsorbent for the 2,4-D removal in water. The skins were treated with sulfuric acid and characterized by different techniques. The adsorption was favored at acid pH = 2 with pHpzc = 6. The dosage of 0.9 g L-1 was considered ideal, obtaining satisfactory indications of removal and capacity. The kinetic curves were well represented by the general order model, with the equilibrium reached quickly in the first 30 min for all concentrations. Adsorption isotherm studies showed that the increase in temperature negatively affected the herbicide adsorption, obtaining a maximum capacity of 246.72 mg g-1, by the Langmuir isotherm at 298 K. The remarkable adsorption efficiency presented by the adsorbent can be associated with the presence of new functional groups on the adsorbent surface generated after the acid treatment. Thermodynamic parameters confirmed the exothermic nature of the adsorptive system. In the treatment of synthetic wastewater consisting of a mixture of herbicides and salts, a high removal efficiency (72%) of herbicides was obtained. Therefore, the development of an adsorbent derived from peanut (Arachis hypogaea) skin treated with sulfuric acid is an excellent alternative, generating remarkable removal results towards 2,4-D herbicide.

Abstract
Detoxification of pesticide residues requires effective methods. In this regard, the adsorption efficiency of diethylaminoethyl cellulose (DEAE-cellulose) as an adsorbent material for the removal of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) from water at different concentrations, times, pH and temperature was evaluated comprehensively. The obtained results showed that DEAE-cellulose has greater efficacy to eliminate 2,4-D from water with a high Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity of 429.18 mg g-1 at pH 7.0. Kinetic models and thermodynamics were investigated at length. The adsorption mechanism was understood by way of electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, and Lewis acid-base type interactions. Extensive analytical characterization of the DEAE-cellulose adsorbent before and after 2,4-D adsorption was performed and liquid chromatography with a tandem mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS) was used for the quantification of 2,4-D. The regeneration of DEAE-cellulose was achievable using dilute formic acid and the DEAE-cellulose adsorbent showed high ability in the removal of 2,4-D from the agriculture run-off water.

Abstract
In this work, a biosorbent was prepared by the ultrasound-acid treatment of Merremia vitifolia plant and tested for the removal of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), a phenoxy herbicide. Optimal values of five batch biosorption parameters namely stirring speed, contact time, biosorbent dosage, initial pH and initial adsorbate concentration were experimentally obtained in sequential manner for an enhanced biosorption capacity. The kinetics of the biosorption of 2,4-D were best described by the pseudo first order kinetic model (R2 = 0.99) and the biosorption equilibrium data were successfully fitted to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm (R2 = 0.99) with a maximum biosorption capacity of 66.93 mg g-1. The mechanism of biosorption was investigated using two intraparticle diffusion models (Weber and Boyd), Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm model and electrostatic interactions. The presence of intraparticle and film diffusion limitations for the biosorption was confirmed along with the physical and chemical nature of the biosorption. The thermodynamic parameters of the biosorption were calculated using the equilibrium data obtained at four different temperatures. The entropy change for biosorption was found to be negative indicating the decreased randomness at the interface. Desorption studies were carried out using different solvents and the percentages of desorption were compared.

Abstract
Activated biocarbons were prepared using biomass wastes: sugarcane bagasse, coconut shell and endocarp of babassu coconut; as a renewable source of low-cost raw materials and without prior treatments. These activated biocarbons were characterized by textural analysis, solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electronic microscopy. Textural analysis results revealed that those activated biocarbons were microporous, with specific surface area values of 547, 991 and 1,068 m2 g-1 from sugarcane bagasse, coconut shell and endocarp of babassu coconut, respectively. The innovation of this work was to evaluate which biomass residue was able to offer the best performance in removing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid herbicide (2,4-D) from water by adsorption. Adsorption process of 2,4-D was investigated and the Langmuir and Redlich-Peterson models described best the adsorption process, with R2 values within 0.96-0.99. The 2,4-D removal performance were 97% and 99% for the coconut and babassu biocarbons, respectively. qM parameter values obtained from Langmuir model were 153.9, 233.0 and 235.5 mg g-1 using sugarcane bagasse, coconut shell and endocarp of babassu, respectively. In addition, the adsorption kinetics were described nicely by the second-order model and the Gibbs free energy parameter values were negative, pointing to a spontaneous adsorption, as well.

Abstract
MOFs are usually used as efficient adsorbents to remove specific pollutants in water. However, because of their poor water stability relatively small particle size, their application in adsorbing and removing pollutants from water is limited. In this paper, with nitrile rubber sponge as the substrate, UiO-66-NH2/sponge composites were firstly in-situ synthesized and systematically evaluated UiO-66-NH2 as an adsorbent to remove 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid from water. This composite could not only remain the adsorption capacity for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid of UiO-66-NH2, but also was much more convenient for separation after the adsorption compared to UiO-66-NH2. In addition, the mechanism of the adsorption of UiO-66-NH2 for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid were discussed in detail. Electrostatic interaction between UiO-66-NH2 and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was the main adsorption mechanism. The adsorption was mainly suitable for Langmuir isotherm models, and its maximum adsorption capacity of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was 72.99 mg g-1.

Adsorption kinetic and thermodynamic studies of the 2, 4 - dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D) by the [Co-Al-Cl] layered double hydroxide. Heliyon 2019; 5:e02553.

Abstract
[Co-Al-Cl] layered double hydroxide (LDH) obtained by co-precipitation at constant pH 8 presented a single phase in a hexagonal unit cell parameters similar to the hydrotalcite (JCPDS 14-191) belonging to the rhombohedral crystal system and space group R (-3)m . The adsorption kinetics of 2,4-D onto [Co-Al-Cl] LDH was better described by the Pseudo Second-Order (best adjust R2 = 0.9998 for 60 mg L-1 2,4-D adsorption). Intra-particle diffusion model was not the sole rate-controlling factor, indicating the adsorption of 2,4-D by the [Co-Al-Cl] LDH is a complex process for the experimental conditions performed, involving both boundary layer and intra-particle diffusion. The adsorption isotherm adjusted better to the Freundlich model (R2 = 0.9845) and the ΔH° value of - 51.18 kJ mol-1 indicated the predominance of the physical adsorption. The FT-IR spectrum of LDH after adsorption presented 2,4-D bands together with those of LDH and XRD showed an increase in the interlamellar distance (d 003) due to the intercalation of 2,4-D in the interlayer structure of the [Co-Al-Cl] LDH, corroborating inter and intra-particle adsorption data. Thus, [Co-Al-Cl] LDH, commonly used as electrodes in supercapacitors, can be effectively used as an adsorbent for the removal of 2,4-D from contaminated waters.

Abstract
Randomness is far from a disturbing disorder in nature. Rather, it underlies many processes and functions. Randomness can be used to improve the efficacy of development and of systems under certain conditions. Moreover, valid unpredictable random-number generators are needed for secure communication, rendering predictable pseudorandom strings unsuitable. This paper reviews methods of generating randomness in various fields. The potential use of these methods is also discussed. It is suggested that by disordering a "false order," an effective disorder can be generated to improve the function of systems.

Abstract
The 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) herbicide, as an aromatic hydrocarbon, is a dangerous and toxic organic pollutant among the agricultural pesticides. In this research, the performance of the biochar made from rice husk (BRH), granular activated carbon (GAC), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was investigated for adsorption of 2,4-D in a fixed-bed column system. The influence of pH (2, 5, 7, 9), flow rate (0.5, 1, 1.5 mL min-1), bed depth (3, 6, 9 cm), and influent 2,4-D concentration (50, 100, 150, 300 mg L-1) on the adsorption process was evaluated. The resulting breakthrough curves indicated that the higher removal efficiency of 2,4-D took place at the lower flow rate, lower influent 2,4-D concentration, higher bed depth, and lower pH. While in most cases the removal ability of GAC was better than other adsorbents, generally, this study confirmed that the BRH, as a cheap and sustainable material, can be a viable alternative to GAC and MWCNTs for remediation and treatment scenarios, particularly in developing countries.
