ABSTRACT In this study, La(OH) 3 -loaded Juncus effusus (La-JE) with a three-dimensional structure was prepared via an in-situ precipitation and then wrapped in a cellulose membrane. The La-JE not only avoided the leakage of La(OH) 3 but also was separated from solution easily. The optimal pH for phosphate removal by the La-JE was 6. The removal rate of phosphate was positively correlated with adsorption time, La-JE dosage and reaction temperature, and negatively correlated with phosphate concentration. The adsorption process conformed to pseudo-second-order kinetic model and was better fit by Freundlich model. At 25°C, the maximum adsorption capacity of the La-JE was 22.75 mg·P/g. The influence of SO 4 2– , Cl – , NO 3 – , NH 4 + , HCO 3 – and CO 3 2– on phosphate removal was negligible, suggesting that the La-JE had good anti-interference ability. Mechanism analysis showed that the removal process of phosphate was related to both ligand exchange and surface precipitation. The application in real water environment exhibited that the La-JE had good potential for advanced dephosphorization of sewage treatment plant and natural waterbody remediation.

Background Phosphorus in wastewater is a major environmental concern. Very small phosphorus inputs in the environment can cause algal blooms that can deplete the dissolved oxygen and decrease the water quality, leading to eutrophication. Furthermore, some algal blooms produce toxins and bacterial growth that can cause human illness through exposure to contaminated water. Therefore, It is necessary to remove phosphorus before it is discharged to the environment. Methods adsorbent enhanced adsorptive ultrafiltration (UF) has recently emerged as an advanced ion recovery technology with membrane filtration function and adsorption function, and is very effective in removing cationic bisphosphate and anionic phosphate. Significant findings Herein, a novel defect-rich and covalently-crosslinked octanoic acid (OA)-UiO-66(Zr)-NH 2 /PVC adsorption ultrafiltration membrane are designed for removal of phosphate ions in water. The OA-UiO-66-NH 2 /PVC-33 membrane achieved the adsorption capacity (∼30 mgg −1 ) and higher removal efficiency (∼90%). The OA-UiO-66(Zr)-NH 2 /PVC ultrafiltration membrane exhibited a higher water flux of 266.9 L/(m 2 ·h·bar) compared to those of pristine PVC and UiO-66-NH 2 /PVC. Filtration and cyclic stability experiments reveal that OA-UiO-66(Zr)-NH 2 /PVC membrane can maintain a high retention capacity and exhibit excellent regeneration performance after 5 cycles.

Phosphorus mainly exists in the form of phosphate in water. Excessive phosphorus can cause eutrophication, leading to algae reproduction and the depletion of oxygen in water, destroying aquatic ecology. This study prepared quaternized polyaniline (PN) and quaternized polyaniline with lanthanum hydrate (HLO-PN), and a new nanocomposite for removing phosphate from wastewater was proposed. The results of adsorption experiments show that HLO-PN can effectively remove phosphate in the range of pH 3~7; the maximum adsorption capacity is 92.57 mg/g, and it has excellent anti-interference ability against some common coexisting anions (F−,Cl−,NO3−,SO42−) other thanCO32−. After five adsorption–desorption cycles, the phosphate adsorption capacity (60 mg/g) was still 74.28% of the initial adsorption capacity (80.85 mg/g), indicating that the HLO-PN nanocomposites had good reusability and recovery of phosphorus. The characterization results show that phosphate adsorption is realized by electrostatic adsorption and ligand exchange.

In the last decade, the application of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) has garnered great attention as an adsorbent due to its low cost, non-toxicity, high porosity, and BET-specific surface area. In particular, the immobilization of nZVI particles onto inorganic and organic substrates (nanocomposites) decreased its agglomeration, allowing them to be effective and achieve greater adsorption of pollutants than pristine nanoparticles (NPs). Although nZVI began to be used around 2004 to remove pollutants, there are no comprehensive review studies about phosphate removal from aquatic systems to date. For this reason, this study will show different types of nZVI, pristine nZVI, and its nanocomposites, that exist on the market, how factors such as pH solution, oxygen, temperature, doses of adsorbent, initial phosphate concentration, and interferents affect phosphate adsorption capacity, and mechanisms involved in phosphate removal. We determined that nanocomposites did not always have higher phosphate adsorption than pristine nZVI particles. Moreover, phosphate can be removed by nZVI-based nanoadsorbents through electrostatic attraction, ion exchange, chemisorption, reduction, complexation, hydrogen bonding, and precipitation mechanisms. Using the partition coefficient (PC) values, we found that sepiolite-nZVI is the most effective nanoadsorbent that exists to remove phosphate from aqueous systems. We suggest future studies need to quantify the PC values for nZVI-based nanoadsorbents as well as ought to investigate their phosphate removal efficiency under natural environmental conditions.

Schwertmannite (Sch) has been proved to be a promising and efficient adsorbent for the removal of various metal ions . However, how to further improve the adsorption capacity and stability of Sch to As(III), As(V) and P(V) is always a problem. In this study, we developed a method to synthesize various Schs with different initial ratios of SO 4 2- :Fe(III). Our results show that Schs can be used to remove As(III), As(V) and P(V) in a wide concentration range of pH 3.0–7.0, and negligible difference can be observed in the adsorption capacities of various Schs towards As(III), As(V) and P(V), indicating that increasing initial concentrations of SO 4 2- does not necessarily increase the adsorption capacity of Sch. In addition, the maximum adsorption capacities ( Q max ) of Sch-0.75 towards As(V) and P(V) increases with decreasing pHs, whereas increase with increasing pHs towards As(III). The Q max values of As(III), As(V) and P(V) are 80.5, 161.5 and 139.9 mg g −1 at pH 3.0, respectively, and are 214.5, 107.6 and 86.5 mg g −1 at pH 7.0, respectively, indicating that the strong dependence of Q max on pH values. Besides, we also successfully developed a method to synthesize the diatomite-modified Sch (DMS). The synthesized DMS with the ratio of Fe(III) salts and diatomite of 4:1 (DMS-4) shows the maximum adsorption capacities of As(III), As(V) and P(V) of 59.81, 151.52 and 236.97 mg g −1 at pH 3.0, respectively, and of 282.49, 126.58 and 165.02 mg g −1 at pH 7.0, respectively. DMS-4 also shows high stability during repeated experiments, and the removal efficiencies of DMS-4 to As(III), As(V) and P(V) maintain 97.42 %, 88.39 % and 94.72 % after five cycles, whereas the removal efficiencies of Sch-0.75 rapidly decrease to 63.61 %, 31.12 % and 50.71 % towards As(III), As(V) and P(V) after five cycles. This study provides a new method to synthesize stable DMS with high adsorption capacities towards As(III), As(V) and P(V).

Amino-functionalized magnetic zirconium alginate beads with an interpenetrating network (Fe 3 O 4 /PAM/SA–Zr) were prepared, characterized, and then tested as a novel biomass adsorbent for phosphate removal and recovery. The hydrogel beads exhibited outstanding thermostability and possessed a magnetic response. The effects of the pH, dosage, initial phosphate concentration, interference ions, and temperature on the removal of phosphate were investigated. The kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics of the adsorption were studied. Notably, the adsorption of phosphate was endothermic, feasible, and spontaneous with a maximum uptake capacity of 42.23 mg-P/g at an optimized pH of 2.0. The phosphate could be desorbed effectively with a 0.2 mol/L NaOH solution, and the adsorbent exhibited a good reusability. The possible adsorption mechanisms were verified by zeta potential, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses. Continuous phosphate-adsorption tests were conducted in a fixed-bed columns packed with Fe 3 O 4 /PAM/SA–Zr, and the breakthrough curves were predicted by the Adams–Bohart, Thomas, and Yoon–Nelson models, respectively. The suitability of the hydrogel beads for the treatment of real wastewater was also tested. These hydrogel beads should be a promising adsorbent for phosphate removal and recovery from aqueous solutions, with the advantages of a high uptake capacity, good reusability, and easy magnetic separation. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this study, we aimed to magnetically separate phosphate from natural water and change its source-to-sink conversion to prevent eutrophication. To this end, a promising material in terms of phosphate removal efficiency and magnetic separability was developed. Nine types of magnetic composite P-removal agents were prepared by changing the types of metal salts (i.e., Zn 2+ , Cu 2+ , Mg 2+ , Al 3+ , Fe 3+ , Zr 4+ , Y 3+ , Ce 3+ , and La 3+ ), and the optimal agent was determined to be La 3+ /poly (acrylamide-co-acryloyloxyethyl thimethylammonium chloride)/Fe 3 O 4 [La 3+ /CPAM/Fe 3 O 4 ] based on phosphate removal efficiency. The optimal synthesis conditions, including reaction time (4 h), reaction temperature (65°C), and the content of metal salts (12.96 mmol), were determined. The synthesized material was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and vibrating-sample magnetometry. The results showed that the material featured a core–shell structure and exhibited good magnetic response. The experimental results showed that the removal process was rapid and completed within 20 min. Moreover, the material could greatly reduce P concentration, with phosphate removal efficiency reaching 90.07%. This material could effectively separate phosphate under the action of an external magnetic field and change the source-to-sink conversion of P, thereby preventing the risk of eutrophication.

In this work, the metal–organic framework (MOF) particles (i.e., UiO-66-NH 2 ) was covalently modified with poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) through surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) method. The hair MOF product, referred to as UiO-66- g -P4VP, was then subjected to quaternization with 1-bromoethane, resulting in UiO-66-g- q P4VP (quaternized P4VP is denoted as q P4VP). Finally, these UiO-66-g- q P4VP particles were incorporated into a polymer matrix made of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) to develop a nanofibrous composite membrane using the electrospinning technique. After modification of quaternized P4VP, the surface of the MOFs carry strong positive charges. Therefore, the electrospun UiO-66- g - q P4VP/PAN nanofiber membrane can serve as an adsorbent in efficient removal of negatively charged arsenate through strong electrostatic interactions. The adsorptive efficacy of the nanofiber membrane exhibited considerable stability within the pH spectrum extending from 4 to 10, indicating that the membrane could potentially maintain its functionality across a broad range of pH conditions. Our developed approach opens up an avenue for manufacturing of polyelectrolyte-functionalized MOF nanofiber membranes, which hold great promise for application in water remediation.

Functional nanoparticles modified silica nanofibrous materials with good flexibility, a hierarchical mesoporous structure, and excellent durability would have broad applications in efficient removal of contaminants, yet have proven to be enormously challenging to construct. Herein, we reported a strategy for rational design and fabricating flexible, hierarchical mesoporous, and robust ZrO2 nanoparticle-embedded silica nanofibrous membranes (ZrO2/SiO2 NM) for phosphate removal by combining the chitosan dip-coating method with the electrospinning technique. Our approach allows ZrO2 nanoparticles to be in situ firmly and uniformly anchored onto SiO2 nanofibers to drastically enlarge the specific surface area and porosity of membranes. Therefore, the resultant ZrO2/SiO2 NM exhibited a prominent removal efficiency of 85% and excellent adsorption amount of 43.8 mg P g–1 membranes in 30 min toward phosphates. Furthermore, the removal performance toward different types of phosphates revealed that the resultant membranes also could be used to remove phosphates in detergent and fertilizer water samples. More importantly, the membranes with good flexibility could directly be taken out from solution after use without any post-treatment. Such a simple and intriguing approach for fabricating nanofibrous membranes may provide a new platform for constructing membranes with superb phosphate removal performance.

A novel positively charged loose nanofiltration (NF) membrane was fabricated feasibly by UV-induced photografting polymerization of diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DADMAC) on Polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane. A possible reaction mechanism was proposed that a linear chain structure and/or pyrrole like five-membered nitrogen heterocycles structure on the side chain were grafted to form the active barrier layer. NF membrane demonstrated a looser average pore size of 8.6 nm and positive charges surface. Owing to the nanoscale ultrathin nanoscale barrier layer and the combination of Donnan exclusion and steric hindrance , NF membrane exhibited good hydrophilicity , a high pure flux of 60 L/m 2 h (0.5 MPa), a good salt rejection to Mg 2+ (90.8%), Al 3+ (94.0%), Ca 2+ (91.5%), and a high dye rejection to methylene blue (99.4%) and congo red (100.0%) respectively. The salts rejection of NF membrane to different salts followed the order of AlCl 3 > CaCl 2 > MgCl 2 > NaCl > LiCl > MgSO 4 > Na 2 SO 4. NF membrane showed certain fouling resistance to seawater and BSA solution. The grafting polymerization kinetics were comprehensively investigated including irradiation time, monomer concentration and irradiation intensity. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurement were employed to investigate membrane chemistry, morphologies, and hydrophilicity.

In this study, green tea was used as a reducing agent to prepare GT-nZVI/Cu nano-zero-valent iron-copper bimetallic materials for nitrate degradation. Through single factor experiments, the process conditions for nitrate removal by GT-nZVI/Cu were optimized. By measuring the contents of nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia nitrogen in the reaction products, the reduction pathway of nitrate-nitrogen in GT-nZVI/Cu was studied. In addition, the removal mechanism of nitrate by GT-nZVI/Cu was also analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and kinetic experiments. The results showed that the size of GT-nZVI/Cu particles is between 50 and 70 nm, and they are irregular spherical shapes. The polyphenol antioxidants in green tea make GT-nZVI/Cu have stronger antioxidant properties, and the denitration products are mostly nitrogen. The addition of copper ions accelerates the reaction time and reaction rate. The maximum removal rate of nitrate by GT-nZVI/Cu within 75 min can be up to 99 %. After three repeated experiments, the removal rate of GT-nZVI/Cu can still reach 70 %. The removal mechanism of GT-nZVI/Cu has enhanced nitrate removal through complexation, redox, and adsorption co-precipitation. This study provides a new route for the green preparation and efficient application of nZVI.

A three-dimensional bioelectrochemical reactor (3D-BER) system combining heterotrophic and autotrophic denitrification processes was developed, which possesses the effects of pH on nitrate or nitrite removal and simultaneously elimination of antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from simulated municipal wastewater. The experimental results demonstrated that the variation of microbial communities was examined with electric current from 0 to 90 mA at pH 6.50±0.12 to 7.9±0.04. When the current increased from 0 to 90 mA, the nitrate removal efficiency increased from 59.05% to 99.21%, and SMX removal efficiency of 43.9%–93.9% was achieved. The optimum pH of this reactor was 7.0±0.20 to 7.50±0.31, and a lower or higher pH condition may effect autotrophic and heterotrophic denitrification processes. Simultaneously, the denitrification mechanism in this system was analyzed through pH variation in the effluent. The CO2 produced from the anode acted as a good pH buffer, automatically controlling pH in the reaction zone. A low current intensity does not effect the degradation by-products but increases the SMX removal efficacy. Bacterial community analysis revealed substantial changes in microbial communities at the phylum, class, and genus levels after SMX acclimatization. Thauera, a well-known aromatic-degrading bacteria, was the most dominant genus present in acclimatized conditions at 60 mA. In summary, this study shows that high currents changed the microbial structure, and the acclimatized sludge can play a vital role in the biodegradation of SMX, and removal of NO3−─ N from simulated municipal wastewater by a novel 3D-BER.
