Ahmadian M, Derakhshankhah H, Jaymand M. Recent advances in adsorption of environmental pollutants using metal-organic frameworks-based hydrogels. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 231:123333. [PMID: 36682661 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
Water pollution is increasing significantly owing to industrialization and population growth that lead to serious environmental and health issues. Therefore, the design and development of more effective wastewater treatment approaches are necessary due to a significant upsurge in demand for freshwater. More recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted attention in environmental science owing to their tunable porosity, unique structure, flexibility, and various composition. Despite these attractive advantages, some drawbacks, including intrinsic fragility, unsatisfied processability, dust formation, and poor reusability, have greatly limited their applications. Therefore, MOFs are often designed as supported-based MOFs (e.g., MOFs-coated composites) or 3D structured composites, such as MOFs-based hydrogels. MOFs-based hydrogels are excellent candidates in the sorption process because of their appropriate adsorption capacity, porous structure, good mechanical properties, durability as well as biodegradable features. In this review, the removal of different pollutants (e.g., synthetic dyes, phosphates, heavy metals, antibiotics, and some organic compounds) from aqueous media has been studied by the adsorption process using MOFs-based hydrogels. The important advancements in the fabrication of MOFs-based hydrogels and their capacities in the adsorption of pollutants under experimental conditions have been discussed. Finally, problems and future perspectives on the adsorption process using MOFs-based hydrogels have been investigated.

Abstract
Diclofenac (DCF) as a non-steroidal pharmaceutical has been detected in aquatic samples more than other compounds due to its high consumption and limited biodegradability. In this study, ultrasound waves were applied along with an advanced nano-Fenton process (US/ANF) to remove DCF, and subsequently, the synergistic effect was determined. Before that, the efficiency of the US and ANF processes was separately studied. The central composite design was used as one of the most applicable responses surface method techniques to determine the main and interactive effect of the factors influencing DCF removal efficiency in US/ANF. The mean DCF removal efficiency under different operational conditions and at the time of 1-10 min was obtained to be about 4%, 83%, and 95% for the US, ANF, and US/ANF, respectively. Quadratic regression equations for two frequencies of US were developed using multiple regression analysis involving main, quadratic, and interaction effects. The optimum condition for DCF removal was obtained at time of 8.17 min, H/F of 10.5 and DCF concentration of 10.12 at 130 kHz US frequency. The synergy index values showed a slight synergistic effect for US/ANF (1.1). Although the synergistic effect of US/ANF is not very remarkable, it can be considered as a quick and efficient process for the removal of DCF from wastewater with a significant amount of mineralization.

Abstract
Expansion of the aquaculture industry has been accompanied by environmental impact as the discharged effluent contains excess nutrients such as phosphorus compounds. Recovery of such nutrients is not economically feasible as it presents in trace amounts. Furthermore, brackish aquaculture effluent which contains high sodium chloride (NaCl) content makes the treated solution inappropriate for fertilizer production. Herein, this study proposed a diafiltration-nanofiltration route to perform a simultaneous phosphate concentrating and osmotion (sodium) removal from brackish aquaculture effluent. Effects of operating pressure, phosphate, and sodium content on membrane performance were first determined using Desal-5 DK membrane with three types of solutions namely (i) freshwater without NaCl, (ii) dilute brackish water with 1,500 mg/L NaCl, and (iii) brackish water with 10,000 mg/L NaCl. It was found that at 4 bar operating pressure, it could achieve higher phosphate rejection and sodium permeance. The presence of NaCl negatively influenced both phosphate rejection and concentrating factor (CF) due to the salt screening effect. It was noteworthy that negative sodium rejection (up to -16%, CF <1) could be attained, indicating the concentrating effect for sodium was negligible. The concentrating process was effective to concentrate phosphate by 2-fold but less effective in removing sodium. Diafiltration was then introduced and resulted in about 76% of sodium removal. Diafiltration-nanofiltration (DF-NF) mode was shown to be a more efficient method than nanofiltration-diafiltration (NF-DF) mode as phosphate could be concentrated up to 2 factors with 99 wt% of sodium being removed from the real brackish aquaculture effluent. These findings showed that DF-NF is a feasible approach for concentrating phosphate while removing sodium ions from aquaculture effluent and the recovered nutrient solution has huge potential to be applied as liquid fertilizer for hydroponic plants.

Abstract
Abstract
Nitrate is a common contaminant of drinking water. Due to its adverse health effects, this study aimed to determine nitrate levels in six southern districts of Tehran. A total of 148 samples were taken from tap waters. In 84.46% (n = 125) of the samples, the nitrate concentration was below national and WHO limits (50 mg/L); however, 15.54% (n = 23) were in violation of the criteria. The total mean concentration of nitrate was 36.15 mg/L (±14.74) ranging from 4.52 to 80.83 mg/L. The overall hazard quotient (HQ) for age groups were ordered as Children (1.71) > Infants (1.24) > Teenagers (1.2) > Adults (0.96). In all districts, the HQ values for infants and children groups were greater than 1, indicating potential adverse health risks. In teenagers age group, only the HQ estimations of districts 10 (HQ = 0.93) and 11 (HQ = 0.74) were lower than 1 and in adults age group, the estimated HQ values for districts were lower than 1 with the exception for district 19 (HQ = 1.19). The sensitivity analysis (SA) showed that nitrate content plays a major role in the value of the assessed risk.

Abstract
The quantity and quality of the supply of fresh water to households, commercial areas, small industries, green spaces irrigation and public and private institutions in large cities face challenges from the supply sources availability and suitable distribution network performance to the full satisfaction of the established drinking water guidelines. In Mexico, the main source of water comes from groundwater. Most of the Mexican aquifers are located in arid and semi-arid weather conditions. The groundwater’s physical–chemical properties are closely related to geology. This study was carried out at the north-central part of the country in which igneous and sedimentary rocks predominate, with high calcium carbonate (CaCO3) concentrations. The accumulation of CaCO3 in the pipelines is also known as scale deposit that decreases the fluid flow, causing a deficiency in the water supply. The main objectives of this study were determining the physical–chemical groundwater parameters and saturation indexes injected into the drinking water networks and characterizing the scale deposits by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results indicate that the scale deposits are mainly calcium carbonate and silica oxide crystals, caused by the water aggressiveness according to the saturation indexes and the lack of control over the saturation pH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Previous studies showed controversial results of the relationship between fluoride exposure through drinking water and elevated blood pressure. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the direct relationship of drinking water fluoride exposure with blood pressure and essential hypertension prevalence in general populations. METHODS We conducted a systematic search in databases including Web of Knowledge, PubMed, Scopus, and Embase by MeSH and non-MeSH terms for relevant studies with any design published until August 2019, with no limitation in time and language. The pooled effect measure was calculated within a 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS Our search retrieved 630 journal articles, six of which were eligible for data extraction. The random-effects model found significantly higher systolic blood pressure (mean difference = 6.49 mmHg; 95% CI 3.73-9.25; p value < 0.01) and diastolic blood pressure (mean difference = 4.33 mmHg; 95% CI 1.39-7.26; p value < 0.01) in groups exposed to high-fluoride drinking water than in groups exposed to normal/low-fluoride drinking water. A significant relationship was also found between high-fluoride drinking water and essential hypertension (odds ratio = 2.14; 95% CI 1.02-4.49; p value = 0.045). CONCLUSION The risk of elevated blood pressure increases in the general population of fluoride endemic areas. However, more research is needed to make a firm conclusion about the adverse effects of excess fluoride intake on the cardiovascular system at the individual level.

Abstract
A novel adsorbent with excellent adsorptive properties for fluoride was prepared through a green and cheap synthesis route. Populus caspica pruning wastes, a cheap agri-waste material, were reduced to multi-layer green graphene (MLG) and then post-modified to aluminum/iron modified multi-layer green graphene (AMLG and IMLG). Batch experiments revealed the effect of pH (3-11), contact time (0.5-12 h), and initial fluoride concentration (5-40 mg/L). The conversion of raw material to MLG increased the specific surface area about 120 times (from 4 to 475 m2/g). Furthermore, a significant improvement in zero points of charge (pHzpc) was attained for IMLG (7.1) and AMLG (8) compared with pristine MLG (4.3). Fluoride showed superior affinity to AMLG and IMLG compared with MLG. Fluoride removal increased gradually by pH from 3 to 8 and then decreased sharply up to pH 11. The study of process dynamics demonstrated the monolayer fluoride adsorption onto AMLG and IMLG controlled by the chemisorptions. The highest predicted adsorption capacities based on the Langmuir model were 31.52, 47.01, and 53.76 mg/g for MLG, IMLG, and AMLG, respectively. Considering economic and technical feasibility presents AMLG and IMLG as a promising candidate against water contamination by elevated fluoride. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Abstract
Desalination of nitrates from brackish water is prominent in the coastal areas due to excessive disposal of pesticides by agricultural industries. Nowadays, membrane processes are growing tremendously for the desalination of brackish water. In this context, polyurea (PU) could be a useful membrane material for the treatment of brackish water. The present work deals with the removal of nitrates from synthetic water using PU membranes by nanofiltration (NF) process. Polyurea thin film composite (PU-TFC) membranes were prepared by interfacial polymerization followed by thermal crosslinking and characterized using Fourier transformed infrared spectral (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy– energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDS), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), thermogravimetric (TGA), and universal testing machine (UTM) for structural analysis, crystallinity, morphological, compositional, thermal and mechanical properties, respectively. Experimental studies were conducted on an NF pilot plant by varying operating pressure from 2 to 10 bar and feed nitrate concentration from 60 to 200 mg/L for evaluating PU membrane performance. Experimental observations revealed a maximum water flux of 30.6 L/m2 h and nitrate rejection of 97.2% at a pressure of 10 bar for feed containing 140 mg/L of nitrate. A mass transfer model was developed on the basis of solution–diffusion mechanism for a semi-batch NF process by considering cake enhanced concentration polarization model, for laminar flow with feed recycle, using a plate and frame membrane module. A generic semi-batch NF process model was integrated taking into account concentration polarization and fouling layer resistance. The integrated model was successfully compared with existing data in literature and could be used for process scale-up. Due to the merits of hydrophilicity, negative charge, high thermal and mechanical resistance, the PU membrane can be termed as a low cost, commercially viable and ecofriendly barrier for separation of nitrates.

Fluoride in Drinking Water and Nanotechnological Approaches for Eliminating Excess Fluoride. JOURNAL OF NANOTECHNOLOGY 2019.

Abstract
Arising awareness of health hazards due to long-term exposure of fluoride has led researchers to seek for more innovative strategies to eliminate excess fluoride in drinking water. Fluoride-bearing chemicals in both natural and anthropogenic sources contaminate drinking water, which mainly cause for human fluoride ingestion. Hence, developing sustainable approaches toward alleviation is essential. Among many emerging techniques of defluoridation, nanotechnological approaches stand out owing to its high efficiency, and hence, as in many areas, nanotechnology for excess fluoride removal in water is gaining ground compared to other conventional adsorbents and process. The present review focuses on some of the advanced and recent nanoadsorbents including their strengths and shortcomings (e.g., CNT, LDH, graphene-based nanomaterials, and magnetic nanomaterials) and other processes involving nanotechnology while discussing basic aspects of hydrochemistry of fluoride and geological conditions leading for water fluoride contamination. Considering all the findings in survey, it is evident that developing more sustainable techniques is essential rather than conducting batch-type experiments solely.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phosphate (PO4 3-) is the main etiological factor of eutrophication in surface waters. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are novel hybrid materials with amazing structural properties that make them a prominent material for adsorption. METHODS Zeolitic imidazolate framework 67 (ZIF-67), a water stable member of MOFs, with a truncated rhombic dodecahedron crystalline structure was synthesized in aqueous environment at room temperature and then characterized using XRD and SEM. PO4 3- adsorption from synthetic solutions using ZIF-67 in batch mode were evaluated and a polynomial model (R2: 0.99, R2 adj: 0.98, LOF: 0.1433) developed using response surface methodology (RSM). RESULTS The highest PO4 3- removal (99.2%) after model optimization obtained when ZIF-67 dose, pH and mixing time adjusted to 6.82, 832.4 mg/L and 39.95 min, respectively. The optimum PO4 3- concentration in which highest PO4 3- removal and lowest adsorbent utilization occurs, observed at 30 mg/L. PO4 3- removal eclipsed significantly in the presence of carbonate. The equilibrium and kinetic models showed that PO4 3- adsorbed in monolayer (qmax: 92.43 mg/g) and the sorption process controlled in the sorption stage. Adsorption was also more favorable at higher PO4 3- concentration, according to the separation factor (KR) graph. Thermodynamic parameters (minus signs of ∆G°, ∆H° of 0.179 KJ/mol and ∆S° of 44.91 KJ/mol.K) demonstrate the spontaneous, endothermic and physisorption nature of the process. CONCLUSION High adsorption capacity and adsorption rates, make ZIF-67 a promising adsorbent for PO4 3- removal from aqueous environment.

Abstract
Wet processes of phosphoric acids produce untreated wastewater containing large amounts of fluoride leading to serious environmental problems. This paper reports fundamental studies on two lower rim functionalised calix[4]arene based receptors namely 5, 11, 17, 23 tetra-tert-butyl, 25, 27 bis [diethylphenylurea]ethoxy, 26, 28 dihydroxycalix[4]arene, 1 and 25, 27 bis[diethylphenylurea]ethoxy, 26, 28 dihydroxycalix[4]arene, 2 and their ionic interactions. It is shown that these receptors only interact with fluoride and phosphate in acetonitrile. Their receptive properties are higher for phosphate (2:1 anion:receptor complex) relative to fluoride (1:1 complex). However, thermodynamics shows that these receptors are more selective for fluoride relative to phosphate in the formation of the 1:1 complex. The pathway from fundamental studies to the use of these receptors for removing these anions from water has been tested. The receptive properties of 1 for phosphate are held when the extraction involves aqueous solutions containing individual ions. However, in mixtures containing both anions, the kinetics of the process and the selectivity of 1 for fluoride predominate and as a result, fluoride is better extracted than phosphate. The counter-ion effect on the removal process is assessed from Molecular Simulation studies. The removal of fluoride from phosphate is discussed taking into account existing technologies.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate membrane synthesis by interfacial polymerization methods, the application of synthesized nano-composite membrane for natural organic matters (NOMs) removal from water, evaluation of fouling mechanism and antifouling properties. Polysulfone (PSf) was selected as a porous ultrafiltration membrane support and interfacial polymerization was done using tannic acid (TA) and Trimesoyl chloride (TMC) with central composite design (CCD). The effects of TA and TMC monomer concentrations, reaction time and post treatment temperature was evaluated. The synthesized membrane was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and water contact angle. Based on the results, the optimum conditions for synthesizing nano-composite were: TA concentration of 0.27 g/L, TMC concentration of 0.22 g/L, reaction time of 68.29 min and temperature of 25.23 °C. The predicted optimum operational conditions were a NOM concentration of 6.429 mg/L; time of 10.931 min and applied pressure of 1.039 bar. The potential applications of the synthesized nano-composite membranes with interfacial polymerization can enhance water treatment.

Abstract
In this article, three variables including laccase dose, 2,2'-Azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) dose and pH were used to modeling of Direct Red 81 (DR81) elimination from aqueous solutions by laccase-mediated system. Obtained data indicated that the predicted and experimental values were close for DR81 elimination, and the regression was also able to give a good prediction of response for DR81 elimination (R-Squared = 0.9983). From the experimental, the highest elimination of the DR81 was 95. 5% after 30 min incubation at pH 5, temperature 40 °C, ABTS 0.2 mM, and initial concentration of DR81 50 mg L−1 in the presence of 0.2 U mL−1 of the laccase. The data showed that the laccase can be used as a "green" technology for treating of dyes from aqueous solutions. Data analysis was performed using Design-Expert version 7.0.0 (Stat-Ease, trial version).

Abstract
Background As an appropriate tool, membrane process is used for desalination of brackish water, in the production of drinking water. The present study aims to investigate desalination processes of brackish water of Qom Province in Iran. Methods This study was carried out at the central laboratory of Water and Wastewater Company of the studied area. To this aim, membrane processes, including nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO), separately and also their hybrid process were applied. Moreover, water physical and chemical parameters, including salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), electric conductivity (EC), Na+1 and Cl−1 were also measured. Afterward, the rejection percent of each parameter was investigated and compared using nanofiltration and reverse osmosis separately and also by their hybrid process. The treatment process was performed by Luna domestic desalination device, which its membrane was replaced by two NF90 and TW30 membranes for nanofiltration and reverse osmosis processes, respectively. All collected brackish water samples were fed through membranes NF90-2540, TW30-1821-100(RO) and Hybrid (NF/RO) which were installed on desalination household scale pilot (Luna water 100GPD). Then, to study the effects of pressure on permeable quality of membranes, the simulation software model ROSA was applied. Results Results showed that percent of the salinity rejection was recorded as 50.21%; 72.82 and 78.56% in NF, RO and hybrid processes, respectively. During the study, in order to simulate the performance of nanofiltartion, reverse osmosis and hybrid by pressure drive, reverse osmosis system analysis (ROSA) model was applied. The experiments were conducted at performance three methods of desalination to remove physic-chemical parameters as percentage of rejections in the pilot plant are: in the NF system the salinity 50.21, TDS 43.41, EC 43.62, Cl 21.1, Na 36.15, and in the RO membrane the salinity 72.02, TDS 60.26, EC 60.33, Cl 43.08, Na 54.41. Also in case of the rejection in hybrid system of those parameters and ions included salinity 78.65, TDS 76.52, EC 76.42, Cl 63.95, and Na 70.91. Conclusions Comparing rejection percent in three above-mentioned methods, it could be concluded that, in reverse osmosis process, ions and non-ion parameters rejection ability were rather better than nanofiltration process, and also better in hybrid compared to reverse osmosis process. The results reported in this paper indicate that the integration of membrane nanofiltration with reverse osmosis (hybrid NF/RO) can be completed by each other probably to remove salinity, TDS, EC, Cl, and Na.
