Here, polyaniline/polyvinylidene fluoride (PANI/PVDF) nanofiber composite membrane was fabricated using electrostatic spinning technology to remove hexavalent chromium Cr(VI). The employment of PANI not only extremely enhanced the hydrophilic property of the nanofiber membrane, but also facilitated the transfer of Cr 2 O 7 2− from water to the membrane. The PANI/PVDF membrane had an extremely excellent performance in getting rid of Cr(VI) and a quite large flux (250 L/m 2 h). The maximum adsorption quantity of the membrane could reach 334.5 mg/g in which adsorption played 52.12% part and reduction played 47.87% part. The removal rate could reach nearly 100% immediately in the permeate solution under filtration while it needed 240 min to reach 100% only by static adsorption. Therefore, the interception of the membrane and the adsorption reduction of PANI had synergistic effect on removal of Cr(VI). Furthermore, the removal rate of Cr(VI) could still reach 95.97% after reused 8 times. The membrane showed a very good reusability and application prospect. Graphical Abstract

Water containing excess heavy metals poses a health risk to humans but can be purified effectively using adsorbents. As such, identifying novel and efficient adsorbents to remove heavy metals such as Pb(II) and Cr(VI) is vital. We report a new metal-organic framework (MOF), {[Cd 1.5 (btc)(bibp)·2H 2 O]·H 2 O}n, capable of capturing Pb(II) and Cr(VI) from water. The adsorbent has a high density of exposed active sites, with maximum adsorption capacities of 537.634 mg/g for Pb(II) (pH = 7) and 787.402 mg/g for Cr(VI) (pH = 6). Adsorption equilibrium was reached after 60 and 120 min with Pb(II) and Cr(VI), respectively, and the adsorbent was regenerated effectively using an ethanol-acetic acid eluent. Analysis of the adsorption kinetics using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the abundant –OH groups (hard base) and the Pb(II)/Cr(VI) (soft acid) behave according to the hard-soft acid-base principle. In addition, electron pairs are shared between the imidazole N atoms and Pb(II)/Cr(VI). This study provides new insights into the design of three-dimensional MOFs for removing pollutants from industrial wastewaters, with the potential to mitigate health risks to humans and natural ecosystems.

This article prepared a nanoparticle (NP) Ti-PDA made from bis (2-hydroxy propionic acid) diammonium titanium hydroxide (Ti-BALDH) chelating dopamine (DA), as a photocatalyst to absorb and reduce hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) under visible light with recycling ability from waste water. Ti-PDA NPs with part of TiO 2 -like structure can perform some function of TiO 2 , while participation of PDA will not only broaden absorption spectrum from UV to visible light, but offer the ability to absorb Cr(VI). Compared with TiO 2 Ti-PDA NPs would make full use of sunlight, increasing the photocatalytic efficiency. The adsorption results of Ti-PDA NPs for Cr(VI) showed that the adsorption capacity of Ti-PDA NPs can reach 500.24 mg/g when the concentration of Cr(VI) was 300 mg/L, and the adsorption data matched well with the Langmuir isotherm model, and confirmed to a quasi-second-order dynamics. Under visible light irradiation, Ti-PDA NPs could reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) within 30 min, and can almost completely reduce Cr(VI) within 15 min even at pH = 4. After three cycles, photocatalytic reduction efficiency was still 95.02%. Thereby the toxic Cr(VI) can be effectively eliminated by Ti-PDA NPs from sewage. As a result, Ti-PDA will be a promising green photocatalyst to remove Cr(VI) in disposal of water pollution.

In this research, a new material, chitosan/polypyrrole (CS/PPy), was synthesized and linked with the Cr(VI)-reducing bacterial strain YL3 to treat Cr(VI)-polluted soil. The findings demonstrated that the synergistic application of strain YL3 and CS/PPy achieved the greatest reduction (99.6 %). During the remediation process, CS/PPy served as a mass-storage and sustained release agent in the soil, which initially decreased the toxic effects of high concentrations of Cr(VI) on strain YL3, thereby enhancing the Cr(VI) reduction efficiency of strain YL3. These combined effects significantly mitigated Cr(VI) stress in the soil and restored enzyme activities . Furthermore, wheat growth in the treated soil also significantly improved. High-throughput sequencing of the microorganisms in the treated soil revealed that CS/PPy was not only effective at removing Cr(VI) but also at preserving the original microbial diversity of the soil. This suggests that the combined treatment using strain YL3 and CS/PPy could rehabilitate Cr(VI)-contaminated soil, positioning CS/PPy as a promising composite material for future bioremediation efforts in Cr(VI)-contaminated soils.

The heavy metal ion hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in wastewater significantly threatens public health. Heterojunction photocatalysts typically demonstrate high reduction efficiency in water for Cr(VI) contamination. Overcoming the drawbacks of single metal organic frameworks (MOFs) or covalent organic frameworks (COFs), MOF@COF heterostructures inherit the advantages of large porosity, high surface area, and multiple active sites of single components. Herein, we report novel hybrid UiO-66-NH2@HDU-25 heterojunctions based on a condensation reaction. The optimal ratio of UiO-66-NH2@HDU-25 presented significantly superior photocatalytic activity to most reported MOFs and COFs due to heterojunction formation, which promoted charge separation. Under identical conditions, the optimally formulated UiO-66-NH2@HDU-25 could remove over 99% of Cr(VI), approximately 1.8 and 2.6 times the original UiO-66-NH2 and HDU-25 levels. Furthermore, the UiO-66-NH2@HDU-25 (8 : 1) heterojunction demonstrated favorable reusability and stability over five reaction cycles. Various experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations investigated the charge carrier transport pathways and possible photocatalytic mechanisms. The Z-scheme mechanism for the photocatalytic Cr(VI) reduction by UiO-66-NH2@HDU-25 was proposed and validated. This work aims to open new horizons for preparing novel photocatalyst heterojunctions with excellent visible light responsiveness for environmental water remediation.

Sulfur doping into the crystalline lattice of zero-valent iron (ZVI) enhances its electronic properties and local structure, improving its efficacy for transforming environmental contaminants. This study demonstrates a novel high-energy ball milling approach to initiate mechanochemical reactions for precise sulfur doping into the Fe 0 lattice, addressing the hazards posed by hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) and trichloroethylene (TCE), two priority pollutants known to threaten public health and ecosystems. Mechanochemically sulfidized ZVI (SZVI, 0.182 %–5.698 % sulfur) exhibited Cr(VI) and TCE removal rates up to 20 and 7 times higher, respectively, than SZVI prepared by conventional solution chemistry with aqueous Na 2 S, forming primarily surface-bound iron sulfides. By tuning milling time to control sulfur incorporation, removal capacities of 130.5 mg/g for Cr(VI) (S: 3.802 %) and 70.1 mg/g for TCE (S: 4.557 %) were achieved under environmentally relevant conditions mimicking groundwater matrices. Mechanical energy catalyzes in-situ iron sulfide (FeS x ) ieformation through lattice expansion and atomic-scale Fe-S interpenetration, as confirmed by FeS and FeS 2 crystalline phases, symmetric Fe-S bond vibrations, and rearrangement in the Fe coordination environment. These findings advance ZVI-based remediation strategies, mitigating risks from hazardous contaminants in environmental systems.

As we know, hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) was usually used as an additive to improve the color fastness during the printing and dyeing process, and thus posing tremendous threat to our health and living quality. In this work, the dual emissive carbon dots (DECDs) were synthesized through hydrothermal treatment of m -aminophenol and oxalic acid . The obtained DECDs not only exhibited dual emission fluorescence peaks (430 nm, 510 nm) under the single excitation wavelength of 380 nm, but also possessed good water solubility and excellent fluorescence stability. A ratiometric fluorescent method for the determination of Cr(VI) was developed using the DECDs as a probe. Under the optimal conditions, a linear range was obtained from 2 to 300 μM with a limit of detection of 0.4 μM. Furthermore, the proposed ratiometric fluorescent method was applied to the analysis of Cr(VI) in textile, steel, industrial wastewater and chromium residue samples with satisfactory recoveries (88.4–106.8%).
