摘要:
A graphene-like magnetic biochar (GLMB) was synthesized using lotus seedpod and potassium ferrate with simple step and applied for E2 adsorption. GLMB was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman, X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and BET surface area. Several common (solution pH, ionic strength, humic acid and foreign ions) and new (Al2O3 nanoparticles and microplastics (MPs)) water experiment conditions were investigated. Characterization results demonstrated that the sample was fabricated successfully and it possessed some graphene-like properties and a large surface area (828.37 m(2)/g). Adsorption results revealed that the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models could provide a better description for E2 uptake behavior. The E2 adsorption capacity could be influenced by solution pH, ionic strength and SO42- ions, and the effect of humic acid and background electrolyte (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, NO3-, PO43-) could be neglected. The presences of Al2O3/MPs significantly decreased the time to reach adsorption equilibrium for E2 adsorption on GLMB, but had no obvious improvement or inhibiting effects on E2 removal when the adsorption reached equilibrium. The adsorption mechanism for E2 adsorption on GLMB was multiple, which involving n-n interactions, micropore filling effects, electrostatic interaction. The regeneration experiments showed that GLMB possessed a good regeneration performance. Based on the experimental results and comparative analysis with other adsorbents, GLMB was an economical, high-efficiency, green and recyclable adsorbent for E2 removal from aqueous solution.

摘要:
The presence of antibiotics in different water sources is a ubiquitous, global concern. The persistence of trace amounts of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance of microbial pathogens and jeopardize the health of ecosystems. One possible solution is the photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics from water systems by titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysis. In recent years, heterogeneous TiO2 has been examined for the photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) under UV/visible light irradiation. This review offers an overview of the recent advances in visible light-activated TiO2 for the photocatalytic degradation of CIP and the factors impacting the photocatalytic behavior. In particular, we focused on the structural elucidation of reaction intermediates, and we aimed to determine research gaps in the utilization of visible light-activated TiO2 for water treatment. Future research directions, including the ecotoxicological effect of the photocatalytic degradation intermediates, the thermodynamical and kinetic mechanisms of the photocatalytic degradation process, and future applications of heterogeneous TiO2 photocatalysts, are also proposed. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

摘要:
Photocatalysts comprising Broussonetia papyrifera biochar and g-C3N4 loaded on sodium alginate were prepared and characterized in terms of reusability and photocatalytic Cr(vi) reduction performance. The observed photocurrent responses as well as photoluminescence and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra showed that the best-performing catalyst featured the benefits of efficient photogenerated charge separation, superior electron conductance/transfer, and excellent light adsorption ability, which resulted in a higher photocatalytic Cr(vi) reduction performance compared to that of pure g-C3N4 powder. The prepared composite was shown to be reusable and well separable from the reaction mixture, thus being a promising material for the practical photocatalytic removal of Cr(vi) from wastewater. The trapping experiment and XPS spectra of catalysts after reactions confirm that the decontamination of Cr(vi) lies in the photocatalytic reduction of this species into low-toxicity Cr(iii) by photoinduced electrons generated from g-C3N4, followed by the adsorption of Cr(iii) on biochar or alginate with large specific areas.

摘要:
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on sulfate radicals (SO4∙-) is being actively investigated as an effective technology for aqueous organic pollutants degradation. In this work, a novel iron-doped graphitic biochar (Fe@GBC), which was synthesized by one-step method using biomass-derived biochar as precursor and potassium ferrate (K2FeO4) as activator, was applied to activate persulfate (PS) for the degradation of 17β-estradiol (E2). The characterizations indicated that Fe@GBC was successfully doped with iron particles and possessed a porous graphitic carbon structure. In order to evaluate the applicability of Fe@GBC, the effects of various reaction parameters, such as initial pH, catalyst dosage, PS concentration, as well as the reusability and stability of Fe@GBC were systematically investigated. With the synergistic effect of doped iron particles and porous graphitic carbon structure, Fe@GBC exhibited a high activity for PS activation and great degradation capacity to E2 (almost 100% degradation efficiency within 90 min). Through radical quenching experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis, it found that both SO4∙- and OH∙ were responsible for the degradation of E2, while SO4∙- played a dominant role. Moreover, Fe@GBC/PS also exhibited good degradation performance in complex water matrices. Overall, the facile one-step synthetic strategy and superior performance make Fe@GBC an alternative catalyst for persulfate activation and aqueous pollutants degradation. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

摘要:
A novel graphite-phase carbon nitride (g-C3N4)/bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) ternary magnetic composite (CNBT) was prepared by a hydrothermal synthesis. Using this material, Cr(VI) and methylene blue (MB) were removed from wastewater through synergistic adsorption and photocatalysis. The effects of pH, time, and pollutant concentration on the photocatalytic performance of CNBT, as well as possible interactions between Cr(VI) and MB species were analyzed. The obtained results showed that CNTs could effectively reduce the recombination rate of electron-hole pairs during the photocatalytic reaction of the g-C3N4/BiFeO3 composite, thereby improving its photocatalytic performance, while the presence of MB increased the reduction rate of Cr(VI). After 5 h of the simultaneous adsorption and photocatalysis by CNBT, the removal rates of Cr(VI) and MB were 93% and 98%, respectively. This study provides a new theoretical basis and technical guidance for the combined application of photocatalysis and adsorption in the treatment of wastewaters containing mixed pollutants.

摘要:
A novel ternary composite of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)/graphene oxide (GO) sheets/BiFeO3 (CNGB) with highly enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity toward Cr(Vl) photoreduction is prepared and characterized. The characterization and photocatalysis experiments corroborate its reasonable band gap, efficient charge separation and transfer, widened visible-light adsorption, easy solid-liquid separation, good stability and superior catalytic activity of CNGB. Three CNGB samples with different ratios of g-C3N4 and BiFeO3 (CNGB-1, -2, -3 with 2:4, 3:3, and 4:2, respectively), though possessing different adsorption ability, eventually remove all Cr(Vl) ions via photocatalysis within 90 min. The catalytic efficiency of the composite is the highest at pH 2; increases in pH decrease the catalytic ability. The inorganic anions such as SO4-, Cl-, and NO3- only slightly affects the photocatalytic process. The matching of the band structure between BiFeO3 and g-C3N4 generates efficient photogenerated electron migration from the conduction band of g-C3N4 to that of BiFeO3, which is also facilitated by the electron bridging and collecting effects of GO, and holes transfer from the valence band of BiFeO3 to that of g-C3N4, yielding the efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and the subsequent enhancement of photocatalytic activity. The research provides a theoretical basis and technical support for the development of photocatalytic technologies for effective application in wastewater treatment and Cr-contaminated water restoration.

摘要:
Biochar obtained by pyrolysis of the fiber plant kenaf was mixed with bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) in a chitosan-containing acetic acid solution, magnetized, and modified to prepare a chitosan-crosslinked BiFeO3/biochar coupled magnetic material. The adsorption properties of the composite were investigated using methylene blue dissolved in water, and the effects of external conditions, such as pH, methylene blue concentration, reaction time, and temperature, on the adsorption performance were studied. The adsorption data were fitted and analyzed with kinetic and isotherm models, and the results showed that the BiFeO3/biochar coupled magnetic material effectively adsorbed methylene blue. The amounts adsorbed onto this magnetic material increased with increasing initial methylene blue concentration, reaction time, and temperature, and the adsorption performance improved under neutral and alkaline conditions. The pseudo-first-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models satisfactorily fitted the adsorption data, showing that the adsorption of methylene blue involved both chemical and physical adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity of methylene blue onto the BiFeO3/biochar coupled magnetic material reached 18.942 mg·g−1 at 25 °C, confirming the excellent dye binding activity of this material. © 2020 by the authors.

摘要:
A novel graphene oxide supported activated magnetic biochar (GO-AMBC) is fabricated for 17 beta-estradiol (E2) removal from aqueous solution by grafting graphene oxide (GO) and magnetite nanoparticles onto the activated biochar surface with a one-step activation, magnetization, and carbonization method. GO-AMBC is characterized using SEM, TEM, FTIR, VSM, XRD, XPS, BET surface area and zeta potential measurements. The characterization results show that GO-AMBC possesses a larger surface area and more oxygen-containing functional groups than the unmodified biochar. When the E2 initial concentration is 6 mg/L, its adsorption capacity by GO-AMBC (46.22 mg/g) is more than two times higher than that of pristine biochar (23.09 mg/g) at 298 K and pH = 7.0. Adsorption results show that E2 uptake follows by pseudo-second-order kinetic and Freundlich isothermal models. Thermodynamic analysis indicates that the adsorption process is spontaneous and exothermic. E2 removal by GO-AMBC is significantly affected by the actual water conditions, including solution pH, ionic strength, and organic acids. Among them, organic acids have obvious inhibition effect on E2 removal, and the inhibition effect by oxalate is stronger than that of benzoate. The adsorption mechanism of E2 on GO-AMBC is mainly controlled by hydrogen bonds, electrostatic and pi-pi interactions. The experimental results of this study and comparative analysis with other adsorbents suggest that GO-AMBC is an economical, efficient and recyclable adsorbent and has great potential for E2 removal from contaminated water.

摘要:
In this study, Broussonetia papyrifera leaves collected from land near a restored manganese mine in the Hunan Province of China were converted into biochar under high-temperature anaerobic conditions, regeneration and utilization of agricultural and forest waste, and applied to the prevention of eutrophication. The physicochemical properties of the B. papyrifera biochar were characterized using Micromeritics 3Flex analyzer, scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), zeta potential meter (zeta), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The effects of pH, ionic strength, coexisting ions, time, initial concentration, and temperature on the decontamination process of phosphate in water were studied. The results indicated that adsorption was enhanced under alkaline conditions. The pseudo-second-order model of adsorption kinetics was applied to illustrate the adsorption processes. The chemical adsorption reaction was the main rate-limiting step in the adsorption process. Isotherm experimental data were best fitted by the Freundlich model at 25°C and by the Langmuir model at 35°C. The phosphate combined with B. papyrifera biochar mainly in the forms of exchangeable phosphorus (Ex-P), Al-bound phosphorus (Al-P), and Fe-bound phosphorus (Fe-P). These results indicate that B. papyrifera biochar is a suitable candidate for the treatment of a eutrophic body of water. © 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

摘要:
Biochar has frequently been used for the treatment of heavy metal pollution in water and soil; its effect on contaminated sediments requires further research. To improve the ability of biochar to immobilize heavy metals in sediment, we prepared a functionalized biochar/attapulgite composite by pyrolysis of the clay attapulgite and zinc chloride–pretreated rice straw biomass. Compared with the original biochar, the biochar/attapulgite composite had a large increase in specific surface area, pore volume, oxygen-containing functional groups, and cation exchange capacity. Biochar effectively improved the dispersibility of attapulgite as a matrix. The results showed that the biochar/attapulgite composite effectively reduced the bioavailable fraction of arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) in river sediment, which was a great improvement compared with the raw biochar. After the sediment was treated with different biochar/attapulgite composites, the concentrations of As and Cd in the overlying water and the porewater, and the content of acid-extractable and toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP)-extractable As and Cd in the solid phase of the sediment decreased significantly. Both zinc chloride activation and attapulgite improved As and Cd immobilization in sediment when we used the biochar/attapulgite composite. The results suggest that biochar/attapulgite composite can be used as an efficient in situ sorbent amendment to improve the heavy metal immobilization ability of the sediment.

摘要:
In this study, exogenous spermidine role on Salix matsudana tolerance to cadmium was evaluated. Spermidine and cadmium presented antagonistic effects on the biomass, copper and zinc concentrations in S. matsudana. cadmium mainly distributed in the cell wall of subcellular fraction; 46.97%–60.43% of cadmium existed in a sodium chloride-extracted form. Cadmium contents in roots, leaves, and twigs ranged from 2002.67 to 3961.00, 111.59 to 229.72, and 102.56 to 221.27 mg/kg, respectively. Spermidine application elevated cadmium concentrations in the roots, cuttings, and cell wall and the ratio of deionized water-extracted cadmium, but decreased cadmium levels in the twigs and leaves and the fractions of cadmium extracted by ethanol and sodium chloride, respectively. Putrescine and malondialdehyde were important indicators of cadmium-induced oxidative damage. Exogenous spermidine alleviated the accumulation of superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, malondialdehyde via promoting the levels of spermidine, soluble protein, superoxide dismutase, reductive ascorbate, glutathione reductase, and glutathione peroxidase in S. matsudana leaves under the corresponding cadmium stress. The results indicated that S. matsudana was a candidate for cadmium rhizoremediation and extraction in leaves; the spermidine application enhanced the cadmium tolerance of S. matsudana through promoting cadmium accumulation in roots, cell wall, and less bioactive chemical forms and the antioxidative ability. © 2018, © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

摘要:
In this study, Box-Behnken design (BBD) was employed to optimize the process for H<inf>3</inf>PO<inf>4</inf>-activated Typha angustifolia activated carbon (TAC) production and Cr removal by TAC;the removal mechanisms were discussed based on TAC characterization, and the regeneration evaluation was also conducted. The optimum preparation conditions were activated time of 1.5 h, temperature of 469.02 °C, and incubation ratio of 4, resulting in an experimental carbon yield of 38.23% and Cr removal of 90.01%. The optimum adsorption parameters were found to be 0.02 g/50 mL TAC, 80 mg/L Cr(VI), and 2.21 pH with the observed Cr adsorption capacity of 59.54 mg/g. The removal mechanisms involved coulombic attraction, ionic exchange, surface complexation, and reduction. The process of Cr(VI) adsorption was feasible, spontaneous, and endothermic in nature, and the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models were more appropriate for the removal process. After five adsorption/desorption cycles, the Cr adsorption capacity on TAC reduced by only 24.37%. The results showed that BBD could successfully optimize TAC production and Cr removal, and TAC could be developed as a promising, eco-friendly, and effective adsorbent for Cr pollution control.<br/> ©2018 by the authors.

摘要:
BACKGROUND: This article reports the synthesis and characterisation of titanium dioxide-coated biochar composites (TBCs) by pyrolysing titanium dioxide-treated biomass prepared by a modified sol–gel method. Their adsorptive and photocatalytic activities were evaluated based on the removal of safranine T (ST) from an aqueous solution with/without UV-light irradiation. RESULTS: Characterisation studies suggested that TiO2 was successfully loaded on the biochar substrate. The biochar and TiO2 contents of the composite significantly affected its performance. The ST removal capabilities of the TBCs with 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 g of the biomass are 1.7, 2.3, 7.2, and 2.3 times better than that of the raw biochar, respectively. Thus, the optimum amount of biomass in TBC-x was determined to be 2 g, with the corresponding sample exhibiting excellent stability, effectiveness over a wide pH range, and a maximum ST removal capacity of 226.7 mg g-1. CONCLUSION: The loading of TiO2 significantly enhanced the adsorption performance of biochar and the high specific surface area of the biochar synergistically promoted the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. Both adsorption and photocatalytic degradation were confirmed to contribute to the decolourisation of the aqueous solution because of the removal of ST, with the effect of adsorption being slightly higher than that of photocatalysis. The synthesised composite is a promising alternative material for removing chemical contaminants. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry

摘要:
Adsorption of tetracycline (TC) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) in single and binary systems by diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-functionalized magnetic graphene oxide (DDMGO) was explored. DDMGO were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and zeta potential measurements. The adsorption kinetics and equilibrium data of single antibiotic were well fitted by pseudo-second-order and Freundlich isotherm models, respectively. Negative ΔGo values hinted the spontaneous nature of TC and CIP sorption. Moreover, the ΔHo was positive for TC removal and negative for CIP removal, indicating that TC adsorption was endothermic and CIP adsorption was exothermic. Various experimental conditions (pH, ionic strength and foreign ions) presented an important influence on TC and CIP removal. In binary systems, TC sorption onto DDMGO exhibited stronger inhibition effect by the coexisting competitive antibiotics than that for CIP. The reusability experiment revealed that the DDMGO had an excellent regeneration performance in single and binary systems. TC and CIP removal mechanism on DDMGO was mainly dependent on π-π interaction, hydrogen bonds and amidation reaction. Besides, TC and CIP uptake could also be explained by cation-π and electrostatic interaction, respectively. These findings showed that DDMGO was an efficient and reusable adsorbent for antibiotics elimination. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

摘要:
BACKGROUD: In this work, graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized followed by a modified Hummers method and several characterization techniques were provided. Its adsorptive activity was evaluated based on the removal of Cu(II) from an aqueous solution. External influences were taken into account to further study the adsorption mechanism. RESULT: Characterization results revealed that GO was well prepared and a large amount of oxygen-containing functional groups were introduced. The Cu(II) adsorption increased with increasing solution pH and precipitate at alkaline conditions. NaCl concentration improved copper adsorption at low pH. Formate reduced copper adsorption while benzoate improved the adsorption under low pH conditions. CONCLUSIONS: Here, GO performed Cu(II) adsorption well. The external conditions have different influences on the adsorption process. Experimental results demonstrate that GO is a promising alternative material for pollutants removal. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

摘要:
Due to the widespread application of white-rot fungi for the treatment of pollutants, it's crucial to exploit the special effects of pollutants on the microbes. Here, we studied the effects of cadmium on calcium homeostasis in the most studied white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium. The response of P. chrysosporium to cadmium stress is concentration-dependent. A high concentration of cadmium caused the release of calcium from P. chrysosporium, while a hormesis effect was observed at a lower cadmium concentration (10 μM), which resulted in a significant increase in calcium uptake and reversed the decrease in cell viability. Calcium (50 μM) promoted cell viability (127.2% of control), which reflects that calcium can protect P. chrysosporium from environmental stress. Real-time changes in the Ca2+ and Cd2+ fluxes of P. chrysosporium were quantified using the noninvasive microtest technique. Ca2+ influx decreased significantly under cadmium exposure, and the Ca2+ channel was involved in Ca2+ and Cd2+ influx. The cadmium and/or calcium uptake results coupled with the real-time Ca2+ and Cd2+ influxes microscale signatures can enhance our knowledge of the homeostasis of P. chrysosporium with respect to cadmium stress, which may provide useful information for improving the bioremediation process. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

摘要:
In this research, adsorption of two estrogens, namely, 17β-estradiol (E2) and 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2), by graphene nanosheets with different reduction degrees (rGOs) were investigated;and the effects of solution chemistry, such as natural organic matter (NOM), pH and ionic strength (IS), on the E2 and EE2 adsorption behaviors were also examined. Results indicated that adsorption abilities of estrogens increased with increasing the reduction degree of rGOs;the π–πstacking interaction could be considered as a predominant interaction to the enhanced adsorption capacities of rGOs. Among the solution chemistry, NOM exhibited the significant influence on estrogens adsorption, which suggested that once released into water environments, graphene materials will adsorb estrogens but with a lower adsorption ability than that in ultrapure water due to the ubiquitous presence of NOM in aquatic environments. Besides, estrogens adsorption on rGOs was pH-dependent, but the influence of acid rain would be insignificant due to slight change in low pH range. However, IS within the typical range in natural waters did not exhibit significant influence on the uptake of estrogens by rGOs. Above findings of this work might have significant implications for the fate and transport of estrogens with graphene materials in the environment.<br/> ©2017

摘要:
A novel magnetic nanomaterial was synthesized by grafting nitrilotriacetic acid to magnetic graphene oxide (NDMGO), which was applied as an adsorbent for removing tetracycline (TC) from aqueous solutions. The nanomaterial was characterized using TG-DTA, SEM, TEM, XRD, VSM, XPS, Raman, BET surface area and zeta potential measurements. Several experimental conditions (solution pH, adsorption time, temperature, ionic strength and foreign ions) affecting the adsorption process were investigated. The results showed that the TC adsorption capacity could be affected by solution pH. The adsorption capacity of TC increased rapidly in the initial 20min and finally reached equilibrium was about 600min. The pseudo-second-order kinetics provided the better correlation for the experiment data. Various thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption was a spontaneous and endothermic process. The presence of NaCl and background electrolytes in the solution had a slight influence on TC adsorption. Hydrogen bonds, amidation reaction, π-π and cation-π interaction between NDMGO and TC could be used to explain the adsorption mechanism. The regeneration experiment demonstrated that this nanomaterial possessed an excellent regeneration performance. Based on the experimental results and comparative analysis with other adsorbents, the NDMGO was a high-efficiency and reusable adsorbent for TC pollution control. © 2016 Elsevier Inc.
