Hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) is one of the most toxic heavy metal pollutants in water due to its high water solubility, high toxicity, strong mutagenicity and carcinogenicity . To enable efficient Cr(VI) removal from wastewater, it remains difficult to fabricate advanced adsorbents with good selectivity and high adsorption capacity in large scale. Herein, a poly(hexamethylenediamine-tannic acid)-bacterial cellulose (denoted as HTA-BC) composite was prepared by using natural raw materials with abundance, low cost and nontoxicity in a facile one-step method and applied for the decontamination of highly toxic Cr(VI). The as-synthesized HTA-BC functionalized with abundant amino and phenolic hydroxyl groups had demonstrated high capacity (534.8 mg g −1 ) and good selectivity for Cr(VI) scavenging. Notably, the treatment of real water samples with the HTA-BC composite could efficiently reduce the concentration of the spiked Cr(VI) below the acceptable levels for drinking water . Moreover, high-purity Cr 2 O 3 was obtained by calcination of the Cr species-laden HTA-BC to ensure that the toxic Cr(VI) residing in the spent adsorbents can’t leak out into the surroundings, thus avoiding the secondary pollution. The natural abundance, low cost, easy availability, and sustainability of the raw materials, combined with the facile and green synthesis endowed the HTA-BC composite with great potential for not only decontaminating Cr(VI) wastewater, but also recycling Cr by calcination of the Cr-laden HTA-BC. Moreover, no secondary pollution would be brought during the synthesis and the post-treatment after the Cr(VI) removal, thus it is expected to be a green and sustainable approach for the purification of Cr(VI) containing wastewater.

The objective of this work was to investigate and contrast the mechanism of different B-site dopants for catalytic activity and sulfur resistance under equivalent conditions. LaCo1−xMxO3 (M = Fe, Cr, Cu) perovskite-type catalysts were synthesized by a sol–gel method, and the optimized samples were tested for toluene oxidation before and after sulfur aging. The properties of the catalysts were investigated in detail by XRD, FT-IR, N2 adsorption–desorption, H2-TPR, XPS and in situ DRIFTS to elucidate the inner mechanisms of the catalytic reaction and poisoning processes. The results indicated that introducing specific metal cations with a suitable ratio into the B-site of perovskite could improve the catalytic activity and weaken the negative effect of SO2 poisoning. The reasons for the improvement of catalytic activity on different doped catalysts are similar and mainly lie in the change of reduction property, oxidation state of the B-site, and content of oxygen vacancies. However, the mechanism of sulfur resistance caused by different dopants is not identical. The introduction of different metal cations will cause certain differences in some factors such as reducibility, lattice stability, sulfur adsorption and sulfate content, thus leading to the differentiation of sulfur tolerance for doped perovskite catalysts. In this study, the optimization effect of Fe dopant is better than that of Cr and Cu dopants, illustrating that the high stability of the perovskite lattice and the insensitivity to sulfur species are the key factors for its outstanding sulfur resistance. The results provide insights into guiding the practical composition and life cycle optimization of perovskite-type catalysts in the industrial application of removing sulfur-containing VOCs.

The scaled application of nanoscale zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI or Fe° NPs) in environmental remediation is challenged by easy surface passivation and particle aggregation. To improve this situation and enhance their performance in Cr(VI) removal from water phase, we present one novel strategy to hybridize nZVI with layered double hydroxide (LDH) decorated reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The as-prepared ternary (Fe@LDH/rGO) composites possess better dispersibility, improved hydrophilicity and more positive surfaces that allows higher removal efficiency and capacity for Cr(VI) oxyanions. Composition proportion are optimized and influences of surroundings (solution pH, Cr(VI) concentration and temperature) are evaluated. Also, we demonstrate that Fe@LDH/rGO can be reused with suitable post-treatments, which combines alkaline solution desorption and NaBH 4 revivification possess. Cr desorption and Fe leaching ratio during regeneration should be critical indicators that determine the recovery efficiency. Synergistic effect within this ternary system not only contributes to its superiorities in stability, but also continuous iron corrosion via the formation of micro Fe-C batteries, where rGO acts as cathode and alternative electron conductor. The present work suggests great potentials of Fe@LDH/rGO composites in groundwater remediation.

Herein, we demonstrate the design and fabrication of β-Bi 2 O 3 @ Bi 2 S 3 hollow microspheres with sheet-like hierarchical nanostructures targeting an advanced visible-light-responsive photocatalytic system. In comparison with pure Bi 2 S 3 and β-Bi 2 O 3 , the as-obtained β-Bi 2 O 3 @Bi 2 S 3 heterojunction photocatalyst exhibits a markedly enhanced sunlight photocatalytic activity towards the photo-degradation of rhodamine B. Following, the property of the β-Bi 2 O 3 @Bi 2 S 3 on the Cr 6+ photocatalytic reduction was then evaluated. Operating conditions such as β-Bi 2 O 3 @Bi 2 S 3 mass, tartaric acid concentration, and initial Cr 6+ concentration were analyzed. The results showed that a suitable reduction condition was selected as, β-Bi 2 O 3 @Bi 2 S 3 dosage 25 mg, initial concentration 20 mg·L −1 and molar ratio of Cr 6+ /tartaric acid 1:20. The outstanding photocatalytic performances of the hybrid photocatalyst are mainly attributed to the reduced recombination rates of photo-generated electrons/holes, enhanced light harvesting, increased active sites as well as the improved photo/chemical stability. Moreover, the photocatalytic mechanism of β-Bi 2 O 3 @Bi 2 S 3 for oxidation of RhB and reduction of Cr 6+ was investigated in detail. The enhanced photocatalytic activity and excellent chemical stability render the thus-fabricated heterostructure a promising candidate to remediate aquatic contaminants and meet the demands of future photocatalytic materials.

Currently extensive effort is compulsively expended to decontaminate efficiently banned chemical war agents. In this work, H5PV2Mo10O40 molecules have been encapsulated in mesoporous MIL-101(Cr), which features two types of mesoporous cages (internal diameters of 29 Å and 34 Å) and microporous windows (diameters of 12 Å and 16 Å), leading to the formation of a new composite H5PV2Mo10O40@MIL-101(Cr) through a simple impregnation method. The composite was characterized thoroughly by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, TG/DTA, and textural analysis thereby confirming the encapsulation of the H5PV2Mo10O40 into MIL-101(Cr). The decontamination efficiency of sulfur mustard (4 μL HD in 40 μL of petroleum ether) by 20 mg of the composite is found to be 97.39% in 120 min under ambient conditions. GC-MS analysis on the decontaminated products using 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES), which has been widely used as a simulant of sulfur mustard, showed that MIL-101(Cr) just decontaminates CEES by adsorption, while CEES can be decontaminated under ambient conditions by a synergetic combination of adsorption of MIL-101(Cr) and subsequent chemical oxidation degradation to nontoxic 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfoxide (CEESO) due to the presence of highly dispersed H5PV2Mo10O40 within the composites.

The combination of bamboo fiber (BF) with chitosan (CS) in aerogels to capture heavy metals from contaminated water has not yet been previously reported. In this study, we used a straightforward sol–gel followed by freeze-drying method to fabricate a biomass composite aerogel using waste BF and CS (BF/CSA). This material is low-cost, eco-friendly, and recyclable. In particular, the BF/CSA-2 exhibited excellent mechanical strength and strong acid resistance. It effectively adsorbed Cr(VI) at pH=2 and Cu(II) at pH=5, achieving removal efficiencies of 94% and 85%, respectively. The corresponding maximum adsorption capacities were 162.10 and 138.97 mg/g. BF/CSA-2 exhibited a high removal efficiency (>70 %) after five consecutive reuse cycles. The chemisorption mechanism was confirmed through adsorption isotherms and kinetic analysis. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed adsorption energies of −196.473 and −121.964 kcal/mol for Cr(VI) and Cu(II), respectively, on BF/CSA-2. Based on experimental characterization and theoretical calculations, the removal mechanism involves complexation, electrostatic attraction, and reduction. This study presents a promising advancement toward the development of scalable and sustainable biomass-based aerogels for water purification.

The heavy metals discharged from electroplating wastewater, represented as copper and chromium ions, is harmful to aquatic lives and human beings, and will break the ecological balance. In this work, magnetic hybrid porous structure adsorbent of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -UiO-66-EDTA is prepared for recycling copper and chromium ions. The adsorbent exhibits a maximum adsorption capacity of 212.10 mg/g for Cu(II) and 118.10 mg/g for Cr(VI). Notably, it shows excellent regenerability of 87.12% after 5 cycles. The adsorption of Cu(II) and Cr(VI) on Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -UiO-66-EDTA follows the pseudo-second-order model, where chemical adsorption is dominant and it occurs spontaneously and exothermally. Based on XRD, FTIR, XPS, and DFT calculations, the adsorption mechanisms are driven by electrostatic attraction, chelation, and redox reactions. This work provides a novel and promising strategy for designing highly efficient adsorbents, paving the way for more effective treatments of electroplating wastewater contaminated with Cu(II) and Cr(VI).

In this work, a label-free fluorimetric method for sensitive and selective detection of Cr(III) was developed by utilizing NaY/GdF 4 :Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and citrate-modified silver nanoparticles (Cit-AgNPs) mixed system. The photophysical and morphological properties of the prepared UCNPs were characterized by various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The fluorescence of amino-modified UCNPs can be quenched due to the Cr(III) induced aggregation of Cit-AgNPs by means of inner filter effect. The observed quenching in the fluorescence intensity of the UCNPs is found to be dependent on the concentration of Cr(III). The fluorescence decreases linearly within the investigated concentration of 0.5–40 μM Cr(III) with a limit of detection 34 nM. The practical applicability of the present sensing method is ascertained by detecting Cr(III) in spiked tap water and instant tea samples.

Constructing atomic-level cation vacancies is an effective strategy to modulate the electronic properties of host materials, thus promoting charge transfer and redox reaction kinetics. Herein, ultrathin Bi 24 O 31 Br 10 nanosheets with cationic vacancy was synthesized via an inventive precipitation strategy by adding appropriate arginine. The difunctional arginine can changes the pH of the synthetic system and selectively deprive Bi atoms on the surface to form Bi vacancies through strong affinity between functional groups and cations. The abundant Bi vacancy decrease the Gibbs free energy change and provide channels to promote bulk adsorption of Cr(VI), thus effectively reduces the carrier migration distance during in situ bulk photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) and induces the formation of new impurity states to improve the utilization of visible light. Bi vacancy mitigates strong excitonic effects confined by significantly reducing exciton binding energies, thus effectively promote the separation of photo-generated charges and suppress reorganization of photon-generated carrier. Benefiting from these merits, these exclusive V Bi -Bi 24 O 31 Br 10 ultra-thin nanosheets exhibit superior reduction performance for Cr(VI), and the removal rate was more than 90% at universal pH (2–10). This work provides a new idea for the construction of cation vacancies and a feasible method for the removal of Cr(VI) under alkaline conditions.

Here, we have developed a novel bilayer hollow amphiphilic biosorbent (BHAB-3) with large adsorption capacity, rapid adsorption kinetics, and cost-effective for the removal of Cr(VI) and Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. The synthesis was based on the clever use of freeze-drying to fix the structure, secondary modification of the carboxymethyl cellulose microspheres with polyethyleneimine and cross-linking by glutaraldehyde. The consequences of pH, initial concentration, contact time and temperature on adsorption were investigated. The Langmuir model fits showed that the maximum adsorption capacities of the two target heavy metal ions reached 835.91 and 294.79 mg/g, respectively. Moreover, BHAB-3 was characterized by SEM, FT-IR, TGA, and XPS synergistically, showing that it exhibits a strong complexation ability for Cu(II) and a strong electrostatic effect for Cr(VI). Adsorption and desorption experiments showed only a slight decrease in the adsorption capacity of the BHAB-3 for Cr(VI) and Cu(II) ions after 5 and 26 cycles, respectively. Given the excellent properties of this adsorbent, it is a promising candidate for heavy metal ion removal.

The research of metal organic frameworks materials of possessing semiconductor performance is important because they show great prospects on applications in wastewater treatment . In the current work, composites of TiO 2 / MOF-801(Zr) was prepared by a wet impregnation at room temperature , and a series of characterizations for catalysts, such as XRD , TEM , XPS, etc was investigated. The results of photocatalytic reduction of Cr(Ⅵ) under simulated solar light irradiation showed that 50%TiO 2 / MOF-801(Zr) exhibited better photocatalytic activity compared with other catalysts, which is attributed to synergistic effect including the interface enhancement effect and the enhancement of photogenerated carriers separation efficiency. The photocatalytic efficiency is as high as 98.1% when adjusting pH of reaction system to 1. It is most likely because the hydrogen cation concentration increased along with the increasing acidity, so that as to the promoting of reduction process of Cr(Ⅵ). In addition, we proposed a possible reaction mechanism of TiO 2 / MOF-801(Zr) composites for photocatalytic reduction of Cr(Ⅵ).
