[PMID: 38768788 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2023] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
As an effort to tackle some of the most pressing ecological issues we are currently experiencing, there has been an increasing interest in employing biomass-derived char products in various disciplines. Thermal combustion of biomass results in biochar production, which is a remarkably rich source of carbon. Not only does the biochar obtained by the thermochemical breakdown of biomass lower the quantity of carbon released into the environment, but it also serves as an eco-friendly substitute for activated carbon (AC) and further carbon-containing products. An overview of using biochar to remove toxic pollutants is the main subject of this article. Several techniques for producing biochar have been explored. The most popular processes for producing biochar are hydrothermal carbonization, gasification and pyrolysis. Carbonaceous materials, alkali, acid and steam are all capable of altering biochar. Depending on the environmental domains of applications, several modification techniques are chosen. The current findings on characterization and potential applications of biochar are compiled in this survey. Comprehensive discussion is given on the fundamentals regarding the formation of biochar. Process variables influencing the yield of biochar have been summarized. Several biochars' adsorption capabilities for expulsion pollutants under various operating circumstances are compiled. In the domain of developing biochar, a few suggestions for future study have been given.

Magnetic Biochar Obtained by Chemical Coprecipitation and Pyrolysis of Corn Cob Residues: Characterization and Methylene Blue Adsorption. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:3127. [PMID: 37109964 PMCID: PMC10140941 DOI: 10.3390/ma16083127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Biochar is a carbonaceous and porous material with limited adsorption capacity, which increases by modifying its surface. Many of the biochars modified with magnetic nanoparticles reported previously were obtained in two steps: first, the biomass was pyrolyzed, and then the modification was performed. In this research, a biochar with Fe3O4 particles was obtained during the pyrolysis process. Corn cob residues were used to obtain the biochar (i.e., BCM) and the magnetic one (i.e., BCMFe). The BCMFe biochar was synthesized by a chemical coprecipitation technique prior to the pyrolysis process. The biochars obtained were characterized to determine their physicochemical, surface, and structural properties. The characterization revealed a porous surface with a 1013.52 m2/g area for BCM and 903.67 m2/g for BCMFe. The pores were uniformly distributed, as observed in SEM images. BCMFe showed Fe3O4 particles on the surface with a spherical shape and a uniform distribution. According to FTIR analysis, the functional groups formed on the surface were aliphatic and carbonyl functional groups. Ash content in the biochar was 4.0% in BCM and 8.0% in BCMFe; the difference corresponded to the presence of inorganic elements. The TGA showed that BCM lost 93.8 wt% while BCMFe was more thermally stable due to the inorganic species on the biochar surface, with a weight loss of 78.6%. Both biochars were tested as adsorbent materials for methylene blue. BCM and BCMFe obtained a maximum adsorption capacity (qm) of 23.17 mg/g and 39.66 mg/g, respectively. The obtained biochars are promising materials for the efficient removal of organic pollutants.

Abstract
Magnetic biochar (MBC) is extensively applied on contaminants removal from environmental medium for achieving environmental-friendly remediation with reduction of secondary pollution owing to its easy recovery and separation. However, the summary of MBC synthesis methods is still lack of relevant information. Moreover, the adsorption performance for pollutants by MBC is limited, and thus it is imperative to adopt modification techniques to enhance the removal ability of MBC. Unfortunately, there are few reviews to present modification methods of MBC with applications for removing hazardous contaminants. Herein, we critically reviewed (i) MBC synthetic methods with corresponding advantages and limitations; (ii) adsorption mechanisms of MBC for heavy metals and organic pollutants; (iii) various modification methods for MBC such as functional groups grafting, nanoparticles loading and element doping; (iv) applications of modified MBC for hazardous contaminants adsorption with deep insight to relevant removal mechanisms; and (v) key influencing conditions like solution pH, temperature and interfering ions toward contaminants removal. Finally, some constructive suggestions were put forward for the practical applications of MBC in the near future. This review provided a comprehensive understanding of using functionalized MBC as effective adsorbent with low-cost and high-performance characteristics for contaminated environment remediation.

Hamad HN, Idrus S. Recent Developments in the Application of Bio-Waste-Derived Adsorbents for the Removal of Methylene Blue from Wastewater: A Review. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14040783. [PMID: 35215695 PMCID: PMC8876036 DOI: 10.3390/polym14040783] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2021] [Revised: 02/05/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Over the last few years, various industries have released wastewater containing high concentrations of dyes straight into the ecological system, which has become a major environmental problem (i.e., soil, groundwater, surface water pollution, etc.). The rapid growth of textile industries has created an alarming situation in which further deterioration to the environment has been caused due to substances being left in treated wastewater, including dyes. The application of activated carbon has recently been demonstrated to be a highly efficient technology in terms of removing methylene blue (MB) from wastewater. Agricultural waste, as well as animal-based and wood products, are excellent sources of bio-waste for MB remediation since they are extremely efficient, have high sorption capacities, and are renewable sources. Despite the fact that commercial activated carbon is a favored adsorbent for dye elimination, its extensive application is restricted because of its comparatively high cost, which has prompted researchers to investigate alternative sources of adsorbents that are non-conventional and more economical. The goal of this review article was to critically evaluate the accessible information on the characteristics of bio-waste-derived adsorbents for MB’s removal, as well as related parameters influencing the performance of this process. The review also highlighted the processing methods developed in previous studies. Regeneration processes, economic challenges, and the valorization of post-sorption materials were also discussed. This review is beneficial in terms of understanding recent advances in the status of biowaste-derived adsorbents, highlighting the accelerating need for the development of low-cost adsorbents and functioning as a precursor for large-scale system optimization.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 614:603-616. [PMID: 35123214 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2022.01.067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2021] [Revised: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
This is the first report of the metal Fe-Ti oxide/biochar (Fe2TiO5/BC) composite for simultaneous removal of aqueous Pb2+, Cr6+, F- and methylene blue (MB). Primary Fe2TiO5 nano particles and aggregates were dispersed on a high surface area Douglas fir BC (∼700 m2/g) by a simple chemical co-precipitation method using FeCl3 and TiO(acac)2 salts treated by base and heated to 80 °C. This was followed by calcination at 500 °C. This method previously was used without BC to make the neat mixed oxide Fe2TiO5, exhibiting a lower energy band gap than TiO2. Adsorption of Cr(VI), Pb(II), fluoride, and MB on Fe2TiO5/BC was studied as a function of pH, equilibrium time, initial adsorbate concentration, and temperature. Adsorption isotherm studies were conducted at 5, 25, and 45 ℃ and kinetics for all four adsorbates followed the pseudo second order model. Maximum Langmuir adsorption capacities for Pb2+, Cr6+, F- and MB at their initial pH values were 141 (pH 2), 200 (pH 5), 36 (pH 6) and 229 (pH 6) mg/g at 45 ℃ and 114, 180, 26 and 210 mg/g at 25 ℃, respectively. MB was removed from the water on Fe2TiO5/BC by synergistic adsorption and photocatalytic degradation at pH 3 and 6 under UV (365 nm) light irradiation. Cr6+, Pb2+, F-, and MB each exhibited excellent removal capacities in the presence of eight different competitive ions in simulated water samples. The removal mechanisms on Fe2TiO5/BC and various competitive ion interactions were proposed. Some iron ion leaching at pH 3 catalyzed Photo-Fenton destruction of MB. Fe2TiO5, BC, and Fe2TiO5/BC bandgaps were studied to help understand photocatalysis of MB and to advance supported metal oxide photodegradation using smaller energy band gaps than the larger bandgap of TiO2 for water treatment. A long range goal is to photocatalytically destroy some sorbates with adsorbents to avoid the need for regeneration steps.

Abstract
This review covers the preparation, characterization, and application of magnetic adsorbents obtained from carbon-based sources and their application in the adsorption of both inorganic and organic pollutants from water. Different preparation routes to obtain magnetic adsorbents from activated carbon, biochar, hydrochar, graphene, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, and carbon nanocages, including the magnetic phase incorporated on the solid surface, are described and discussed. The performance of these adsorbents is analyzed for the removal of fluoride, arsenic, heavy metals, dyes, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and other emerging and relevant water pollutants. Properties of these adsorbents and the corresponding adsorption mechanisms have been included in this review. Overall, this type of magnetic adsorbents offers an alternative for facing the operational problems associated to adsorption process in water treatment. However, some gaps have been identified in the proper physicochemical characterization of these adsorbents, the development of green and low-cost preparation methods for their industrial production and commercialization, the regeneration and final disposal of spent adsorbents, and their application in the multicomponent adsorption of water pollutants.

Characterization and performance evaluation of synthesized ZnO nanoflowers, nanorods, and their hybrid nanocomposites with graphene oxide for degradation of Orange G.

Abstract
Nanoflowers and nanorods of ZnO were synthesized via hydrothermal route. These morphologies of zinc oxide (ZnO) were then decorated over graphene oxide (GO) to yield hybrid nanocomposites, namely, GO-ZnOnR and GO-ZnOnF. The decoration of ZnO nanorods and nanoflowers on GO layers was confirmed through FESEM images. The synthesized nanocomposites were subjected to degrade the Orange G under identical conditions. The band gap energies determined using diffused reflectance spectra were 2.87, 2.89 eV for GO-ZnOnR, and GO-ZnOnF, whereas, for both ZnOnR and ZnOnF, it was 3.14 eV. For 50 min of UV irradiations (at 6 pH), 100% degradation was achieved corresponding to GO-ZnOnR (44.1 m2 g-1) followed by 90.1%, 70.2%, and 68.3% with GO-ZnOnF (35.9 m2 g-1), ZnOnR (20 m2 g-1), and ZnOnF (15.1 m2 g-1), respectively. Significant boost in the degradation of Orange G, with GO-ZnOnR, was attributed to its reduced band gap, higher surface area, and enhanced charge separation. Kinetic study confirms the pseudo-first-order reaction rate. Mineralization efficiency of 91% in 120 min indicated the efficient reduction of Orange G and its intermediates. Further, reactive species trapping experiments revealed that photo-induced •OH are dominant radicals for the degradation followed by •O2- and h+. Liquid chromatography mass spectra data has been used to predict the plausible reaction pathways. Reusability studies indicated that GO-ZnOnR can be used for four successive degradation cycles, without any significant activity loss.

Abstract
Fe3O4@C nanoparticles were prepared by an in situ, solid-phase reaction, without any precursor, using FeSO4, FeS2, and PVP K30 as raw materials. The nanoparticles were utilized to decolorize high concentrations methylene blue (MB). The results indicated that the maximum adsorption capacity of the Fe3O4@C nanoparticles was 18.52 mg/g, and that the adsorption process was exothermic. Additionally, by employing H2O2 as the initiator of a Fenton-like reaction, the removal efficiency of 100 mg/L MB reached ~99% with Fe3O4@C nanoparticles, while that of MB was only ~34% using pure Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The mechanism of H2O2 activated on the Fe3O4@C nanoparticles and the possible degradation pathways of MB are discussed. The Fe3O4@C nanoparticles retained high catalytic activity after five usage cycles. This work describes a facile method for producing Fe3O4@C nanoparticles with excellent catalytic reactivity, and therefore, represents a promising approach for the industrial production of Fe3O4@C nanoparticles for the treatment of high concentrations of dyes in wastewater.

Abstract
The textile industry is one of the largest in many low and middle-income countries, especially in Asia, second only to agriculture. Textile wastewater is discharged into the environment due to the lack of affordable and sustainable solutions to adsorb or remove the dye from the water. Biochar is generated by pyrolysis of organic material from plant waste in low-oxygen conditions, and is considered carbon-negative. Biochar for dye adsorption in textile wastewater effluent was proven to be highly effective. However, adsorption efficiency varies with experimental parameters, therefore there is a gap in application especially in small dye houses. Efforts should be made to find innovative and affordable solution to make the textile industry more sustainable, by developing methods for collection and reuse, recycle and upcycle of textile waste, by reducing the consumption of water, energy and chemicals and by developing methods for treatment of the textile wastewater.

Abstract
This study reports solution combustion synthesis of magnesia nanoparticles (nMgO) using magnesium nitrate as oxidiser and glycerol as fuel. Size, morphology, crystal structure and surface properties of synthesised nMgO were analysed by PXRD, SEM, TEM, FTIR and Point of Zero Charge. The XRD pattern of nMgO confirmed prepared samples were single cubic-phase without any impurities. TEM analysis proved nMgO was in nano regime with an average particle diameter of 20–40 nm. FTIR spectra show the presence of characteristic peaks of nMgO and support the XRD results. The prepared nMgO was employed as an adsorbent for the removal of two anionic dyes viz. Indigo Carmine (IC) and Orange G (OG). Furthermore, various adsorption isotherms and kinetic models were performed to understand the kinetics and mechanism of the adsorption process. Experimental results demonstrated that the adsorption equilibrium data fit well to Sips isotherm (R2 > 0.98) and the saturated adsorption capacities of nMgO were found to be 262 mg g−1 for IC and 126 mg g−1 for OG. Adsorption kinetics analysis revealed that the adsorption followed pseudo-first-order model, with both film and pore diffusion governing the rate of adsorption. Excellent adsorption capacity combined with efficient regeneration proved the potential of the prepared nMgO as an adsorbent for the removal of harmful dyes from industrial effluent.

Abstract
Fenton modification, involving iron-promoted pyrolysis followed by H2O2 oxidation, was first employed to improve the adsorptive and magnetic capabilities of biochar. Modified biochars were prepared from rubber tree bark and coconut shell through iron-promoted pyrolysis and subsequent H2O2 oxidation, and their adsorption behaviors toward Cr (VI) and MB were evaluated in aqueous solution. The modified biochars pyrolyzed at 300 and 400 ˚C displayed much higher adsorption capabilities than corresponding pristine biochars for Cr (VI) and MB, respectively, ascribing to introduction of COOH, CO and C-O groups by Fenton oxidation. More importantly, saturation magnetization could be enhanced by transforming nonmagnetic iron oxides into γ-Fe2O3 through H2O2 oxidation. The removal of Cr (VI) and MB could be primarily contributed to the adsorption of biochar matrix by reduction/hydrogen bonding/cation exchange/electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding/cation exchange/electrostatic interaction, respectively. This would provide a novel and efficient strategy for making highly adsorptive magnetic biochar.

[PMID: 31839494 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2019.122468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 140] [Impact Index Per Article: 35.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2019] [Revised: 11/13/2019] [Accepted: 11/17/2019] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
The difficulty of separating the powdered biochar from the environmental medium may lead to secondary pollution and hinder the large-scale application of biochar as an adsorbent. An effective strategy to solve this bottleneck is to introduce transition metals and their oxides into the biochar matrix, creating easily separable magnetic biochar. Magnetic biochar is also effective for the removal of pollutants from aqueous solution. This review comprises a systematic analysis of 109 papers published in recent years (From 2011 to June 2019), and summarises the synthetic methods and raw materials required for magnetic biochar preparation. The basic physicochemical properties of magnetic biochar are expounded, together with findings from relevant studies, and the application of magnetic biochar as an adsorbent or catalyst in environmental remediation are summarised. Other applications of magnetic biochar are also discussed. Finally, some constructive suggestions are given for the future direction of magnetic biochar research.

Hassan M, Naidu R, Du J, Liu Y, Qi F. Critical review of magnetic biosorbents: Their preparation, application, and regeneration for wastewater treatment. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 702:134893. [PMID: 31733558 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.134893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2019] [Revised: 10/03/2019] [Accepted: 10/07/2019] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
The utilisation of magnetic biosorbents (metal or metal nanoparticles impregnated onto biosorbents) has attracted increasing research attention due to their manipulable active sites, specific surface area, pore volume, pore size distribution, easy separation, and reusability that are suitable for remediation of heavy metal(loid)s and organic contaminants. The properties of magnetic biosorbents (MB) depend on the raw biomass, properties of metal nanoparticles, modification/synthesis methods, and process parameters which influence the performance of removal efficiency of organic and inorganic contaminants. There is a lack of information regarding the development of tailored materials for particular contaminants and the influence of specific characteristics. This review focuses on the synthesis/modification methods, application, and recycling of magnetic biosorbents. In particular, the mechanisms and the effect of sorbents properties on the adsorption capacity. Ion exchanges, electrostatic interaction, precipitation, and complexation are the dominant sorption mechanisms for ionic contaminants whereas hydrophobic interaction, interparticle diffusion, partition, and hydrogen bonding are the dominant adsorption mechanisms for removal of organic contaminants by magnetic biosorbents. In generally, low pyrolysis temperatures are suitable for ionic contaminants separation, whereas high pyrolysis temperatures are suitable for organic contaminants removal. Additionally, magnetic properties of the biosorbents are positively correlated with the pyrolysis temperatures. Metal-based functional groups of MB can contribute to an ion exchange reaction which influences the adsorption capacity of ionic contaminants and catalytic degradation of non-persistent organic contaminants. Metal modified biosorbents can enhance adsorption capacity of anionic contaminants significantly as metal nanoparticles are not occupying positively charged active sites of the biosorbents. Magnetic biosorbents are promising adsorbents in comparison with other adsorbents including commercially available activated carbon, and thermally and chemically modified biochar in terms of their removal capacity, rapid and easy magnetic separation which allow multiple reuse to minimize remediation cost of organic and inorganic contaminants from wastewater.

Abstract
This study deals with the removal of cationic dyes from the simulated wastewater using Fe3O4 nanoparticles loaded activated carbon. Fe3O4@AC nanoparticles were synthesised using co-precipitation methods. The Fe3O4@AC nanoparticles (nps) were characterised using different techniques and data revealed that the synthesised nanoparticles were 6-16 nm in diameter. pHpzc of Fe3O4@AC nanoparticles was 7.8. BET surface area of Fe3O4@AC nps was found to be 129.6 m2/g by single point method and 1061.9 m2/g by multipoint method. Adsorption experiments were performed to optimize the effect of process conditions such as pH of solution, nanoparticles dose, temperature, concentration of dye and contact time on contaminant removal. The maximum uptake capacity of Fe3O4@AC was found to be 138 and 166.6 mg/g for methylene blue and brilliant green dyes, respectively. In order to assess dye adsorption behaviour, adsorption isotherm models viz., Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin were applied to the data. Langmuir isotherm best fitted [R2 = 0.993 (MB) and R2 = 0.920 (BG)] to the experimental data of both the dyes. Further, Pseudo-second order rate equation fitted better to the experimental data. Reuse potential of the nanoparticles was also investigated for the removal of both the dyes and it is inferred from the data that the synthesised nanoadsorbent has promising reuse potential, therefore can be used for several cycles.

Abstract
Problem soils are referred to as those with poor physical, chemical, and biological properties that inhibit or prevent plant growth. These poor properties may be a result of soil formation processes but are largely due to inappropriate farming practices or anthropogenic pollution. The world has lost a third of its arable land due to erosion and pollution in the past 40 years. Thus, there is an urgent need for improving and remediating problem soils. As a novel multifunctional carbon material, biochar has been widely used as a soil amendment for improving soil quality. Previous reviews have summarized the characteristics of biochar, the interactions with various soil contaminants, and the effects on soil quality, soil productivity, and carbon sequestration. Relatively limited attention has been focused on the effects of biochar amendment on plant growth in problem soils. As a result, a comprehensive review of literature in the Web of Science was conducted with a focus on the effects of biochar amendment on plant growth in problems soils. The review is intended to present an overview about problem soils, biochars as functional materials for soil amendment, how amended biochars interact with soils, soil microbes, and plant roots in remediation of problem soil and improve plant growth. Additionally, existing knowledge gaps and future directions are discussed. Information gathered from this review suggests that biochar amendment is a viable way of improving the quality of problem soils and enhancing crop production. It is anticipated that further research on biochar amendment will increase our understanding on the interactions of biochar with components of problem soils, speed up our effort on soil remediation, and improve crop production in problem soils.

Abstract
In this study, a novel crosslinked resin 135-I-EDA modified by isatin and ethylenediamine was synthesized through two continuous functionalization steps using chloromethylated styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer as the substrate. In the first step, the cross-linking reaction and isatin incorporation were realized in a creative one-pot reaction using Friedel–crafts reaction in the presence of isatin to give resin 135-I; in the second step, ethylenediamine was successfully introduced on the carbonyl of the modified isatin to further increase the chemically interacting sites. The double-modified resin 135-I-EDA displayed the best adsorption performance (113.38 mg g−1) towards Orange G, which is 1.99 times and 3.49 times as much as that of 135-I (56.94 mg g−1) and commercial resin H-103 (32.51 mg g−1) respectively. This is attributed to its superior porous structure formed in the Friedel–crafts reaction and multiple modified groups in isatin and ethylenediamine. π–π conjugation and hydrogen bonding are the main driving forces for the adsorption. The pseudo-second-order rate equation characterizes the adsorption kinetic curves well and 135-I-EDA displayed the fastest adsorption rate. The study also proved that the 135-I-EDA has a better adsorption capacity for OG in more acidic solution, at higher temperature and higher salinity, which provides a basis for the treatment of industrial dye wastewater. Three types of resins prepared by carbonyl/amino modification based on CMPS displayed enhanced adsorption capacity towards acid dye Orange G and the resin 135-I-EDA that has two functional groups showed the best adsorption performance.![]()
