Enhancing biochar's adsorption and solidification performance in compound-polluted aqueous solutions remains a crucial task for achieving the cost-effective removal of heavy metals from water bodies. The study examined the removal performances and mechanisms of Cu(II) and Cr(III) using biochar prepared from food waste at temperatures of 350 °C, 450 °C, and 550 °C (FWB-350, FWB-450, and FWB-550). FWB-450 exhibited the highest overall effectiveness in adsorbing Cu(II) and Cr(III), demonstrating the adsorption capacity (Q e ) of 40.283 and 21.456 mg/g in single-solution, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters indicate that the adsorption process involves physical and chemical reactions involving heat absorption. The impact of Cr(III) on the adsorption of Cu(II) is more apparent in the mixed competitive system. The pH, the oxygen-functional groups and carbonate ion quantity of FWB are crucial in improving Cu(II) and Cr(III) adsorption by affect the hydrolysis, complexation, and ion exchange processes. The presence of alkaline earth metal ions in FWB, like Ca(II), aids in the elimination of Cu(II) and Cr(III) through ionic precipitation and ion exchange, correspondingly. Furthermore, FWB adsorbed with Cu(II) and Cr(III) is relatively less hazardous than solid waste. The study validates the resource utilization of FW and its potential application of biochar in heavy metal adsorption.

This study synthesized a recyclable dual-responsive core–shell photocatalyst Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @TiO 2 @ZnIn 2 S 4 /ZnPc (FSTZP) used for hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) reduction. Core-shell Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @TiO 2 (FST) was prepared and modified with ZnIn 2 S 4 and zinc-tetra ( N -carbonylacrylic) aminephthalocyanine (ZnPc) to obtain FSTZP and characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, HRTEM and UV–vis DRS. In FSTZP, ZnIn 2 S 4 could provide more adsorption active sites and promote charge-carrier separation; ZnPc would efficiently use visible light to transfer energy. Both of ZnIn 2 S 4 and ZnPc in FSTZP could improve the light-harvesting resulting in excellent photocatalytic performance of FSTZP towards Cr (VI) reduction and pollutant degradation. The highest reduction efficiency of Cr (VI) by FSTZP (0.3 g/L) was up to 96.4% in 60 min at pH = 6. The removal efficiencies of Rhodamine B (RhB), Methylene blue (MB), Methyl Orange (MO) and Tetracycline hydrochloride (TC•HCl) by FSTZP (0.3 g/L) under visible light were 99%, 99%, 95% and 86% in 40 min at pH = 6. Meanwhile, almost all of Cr (VI) and organic molecules in the coexistence system could be removed by FSTZP under visible light. FSTZP also presented the adsorption property and the mechanism of dual-responsive FSTZP for Cr (VI) reduction and organic pollutants removal was explored. Moreover, as an efficient photocatalyst, FSTZP still maintained stability after reused for fourth photocatalytic cycle by magnetic recovery. This study was devoted to develop an efficient photocatalyst suitable for removing Cr (VI) and organic pollutants.

Graphical The rule of seven : The brilliant photocatalytic performance of CN−OH/CeO 2 −NP is due to the synergistic improvement of surface structure. The heptazine ring of g−C 3 N 4 can establish a consummate complexing with K ion. Moreover, unsaturated-coordination O between CN−OH/CeO 2 −NP composite can establish a firmly interfacial interaction with g−C 3 N 4 nanosheets by p–π bond. Furthermore, the hydroxyl groups on the surface of ceria can form hydrogen bond with the NOH/NH x group of g−C 3 N 4 nanosheets. Photocatalysis is an efficient and eco-friendly method of solving the environmental problems, but the low charge separation efficiency of photocatalysts limits their application. Herein, we report the fabrication of CeO 2 /g−C 3 N 4 composites via an in-situ growth of CeO 2 on the dispersed g−C 3 N 4 sheets (CN−OH) in an strong KOH condition, and the resultant CeO 2 /CN−OH composites set up a new interface structure, which demonstrate a dramatically boosted the photocatalytic activity compared with CeO 2 /g−C 3 N 4 composites by conventional two-step combination method. The decomposition efficiency of CeO 2 /CN−OH for 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) degradation comes up to 6 times of bare CeO 2 or g−C 3 N 4 . Compared to conventional CeO 2 /g−C 3 N 4 , the CeO 2 /CN−OH showed 65.9 % and 23.2 % improvement for 2,4-DCP and Cr(VI) removal, respectively. The significantly enhanced photodegradation ascribe to the alkaline modified CN−OH and the fabrication of CeO 2 /CN−OH n–n type heterojunction, both can improve the charge separation efficiency and increase the reaction active sites. Furthermore, the probable pathway and concreted photocatalytic mechanism for 2,4-DCP degradation are proposed based on the detected intermediate products.

Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation have provided a new direction to eliminate the organic pollutant . Current challenges that must be solved include secondary pollution by the metal ions and limitation in the recyclability of the catalysts. The waste 1D-FeOOH adsorbent with adsorption of metal elements (As, Cr or Mo ions) has been reused as an efficient electro-catalyst for PMS activation and used to metronidazole (MTD) degradation for the first time. The effects of current density, initial reaction pH, stirring rate, PMS dosage and solution temperature on MTD degradation was studied. The used 1D-FeOOH with adsorption of Mo ions showed the highest PMS activation ability and 99.6% MTD could be removed after 30 min degradation. The •OH and Found that SO 4 •− is the main free radical for MTD degradation. DFT calculation and characterization results were demonstrated that the high PMS electro-catalysis activation ability of the 1D-FeOOH@Mo has resulted from the special composition-dependent interactions among FeOOH@Mo and PMS, including stable adsorption properties, easy electron transfer and weak O O bond. The possible PMS electro-catalysis activation mechanism and MTD degradation pathway have been proposed. (ECOSAR) was used to evaluate the toxicity of metronidazole during degradation. The results showed that the toxicity of MTD and its intermediates could be effectively reduced by prolonging the degradation time in 1D-FeOOH@Mo solution. This work provides new insights for waste adsorbent disposal and gives a new perspective for PMS activation to degradation of antibiotics in water.

Heterogeneous Fenton-like reactions (HFLR) are promising alternative strategies to address the inherent limitations of the classic Fenton systems. Herein, a facile and scale-up approach for the synthesis of transition metal single-atom sites (SA-TM, TM = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu) coordinated onto pyrrolic N-rich g-C 3 N 4 (PN-g-C 3 N 4 ) scaffold is developed. The regulated pyrrolic N-rich SA-TM catalytic sites exhibit excellent performances for HFLR. As a model of SA-TM/PN-g-C 3 N 4 , SA-Cr/PN-g-C 3 N 4 is efficient for the catalytic oxidation of bisphenol A via HFLR under visible light with outstanding cyclic stability and wide effective pH range (3.0–11.0). The synergy of photocatalysis and single-atom catalysis leads to accelerated production and separation of charge carriers as well as the cycling of Cr 3+ /Cr 2+ couple, consequently boosting the performance in HFLR. Theoretical calculations indicate that the Cr(II)-N 4 sites with the metalloporphyrin-like structure are more reactive than the doped Cr(II) sites in the g-C 3 N 4 matrix, which act as the peroxidase-mimicking nanozyme for efficient and homolytic cleavage of peroxide O O in H 2 O 2 . This study expands the family of the iron-free Fenton-like systems and provides new strategies to the rational design and precise regulation of on-demand multifunctional single-atom catalysts for advanced water remediation.

Industrial sewage often contain metal ions and dyes, and it is difficult to efficiently remove them simultaneously. In this work, novel ternary MIL-53(Fe)/carbon quantum dots/noble metal (MIL-53(Fe)/CQDs/MNPs, MNPs = Ag, Pd, Au) nanocomposites have been rationally constructed and successfully fabricated by a facile two-step strategy with self-assembling and in-situ photoreduction. The resulting MIL-53(Fe)/CQDs/2%Au composite exhibits excellent photoactivity for the Cr(VI) reduction, the reduction ratio is nearly 100% after 20 min of visible light illumination. The rate constant of MIL-53(Fe)/CQDs/2%Au is calculated to be 0.1820 min −1 , which is around 7.4, 2.76, 1.77 and 1.47 times higher than that of as-prepared MIL-53(Fe), MIL-53(Fe)/CQDs, MIL-53(Fe)/CQDs/2%Ag and MIL-53(Fe)/CQDs/2%Pd, respectively. More significantly, MIL-53(Fe)/CQDs/2%Au nanocomposite has been proven to serve as bifunctional photocatalyst for simultaneously removing Cr(VI)/dye mixed system pollutants. The superior photoactivity may be due to the enhanced light absorption intensity, the superior electrical conductivity of Au and CQDs, as well as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of Au. In particular, the possible photocatalytic reaction mechanism has been carefully investigated and proposed.

Carbon fibers (CFs) and TiH 2 were used as raw materials to grow TiC on the surface of CFs in a molten salt system. After hydrothermal reaction with sodium hydroxide, part of TiC was converted into sodium titanate. The sodium ions were substituted by H + by the hydrochloric acid solution treatment. CFs@TiC/TiO 2 composite was generated after high-temperature treatment. XRD, Raman, XPS, SEM, and AFM were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the composites. Results showed that a porous TiC film layer was homogeneously formed which was evenly wrapped on the surface of CFs. Through hydrothermal, displacement, and calcination processes, part of TiC was transformed into anatase TiO 2 with controllable morphology. Photocatalytic degradation experiments by the composite catalysts were carried out. The chemical reactions involved in the formation of composite structures and their effects on photocatalysis were analyzed and discussed. Notably, the morphology characteristics of the heterogeneous structure has a marked impact on the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants and photocatalytic reduction of hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)]. Furthermore, the composites can be easily recycled and reused with good reactivity.

In this study, La(OH) 3 -modified magnetic sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (La-MC) was prepared as adsorbents for phosphate, which exhibited excellent adsorption performance up to 62.98 mg P/g and magnetic property for easy recovery. The recovered adsorbents after phosphate sorption were subsequently used for photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) and possessed good photocatalytic activity. This work provided an excellent reference for developing a new way of extending life cycle of adsorbents by combining phosphate adsorption with photocatalysis for sequential removal of pollutants from water in the future.

A novel collaborative strategy for enhanced removal of Cr(VI) using nano zero valent iron (nZVI) assisted by schwertmannite (Sch) with two synthesis methods was designed. Batch experiments demonstrated that nZVI/Sch-AP (synthesized by abiotic precipitation of Fe 3+ species) exhibited excellent removal performance for Cr(VI) than nZVI/Sch-CO (synthesized by chemical oxidation of Fe 2+ species). The results indicated that the removal efficiencies of Cr(VI) by nZVI/Sch-AP and nZVI/Sch-CO were highly pH-dependent and achieved to be 99.99% and 98.01% under the optimal conditions of 10 mg L −1 Cr(VI) concentration, a pH of 6.3 and a Fe(0)/Cr(VI) molar ratio of 12. But nZVI/Sch-AP emerged greater k of 0.1097 min −1 than that of nZVI/Sch-CO (0.0485 min −1 ). Humic acid exhibited promotion effect on the Cr(VI) removal in low concentration of 1 mg L −1 . Results of XRD and XPS demonstrated that α-FeOOH was the dominant products in both incubations of nZVI/Sch-AP and nZVI/Sch-CO, accompanied with FeCr 2 O 4 and Cr Fe mixed (oxy)hydroxides, and γ-FeOOH was found alone in the incubations of nZVI/Sch-CO. We proposed a consecutive and simultaneous process involving surface absorption-reduction and co-precipitation/immobilization for the removal. This study provides new insights into the elimination of Cr(VI) from wastewater by nZVI/Sch, especially in acid mine drainage .

A novel multiple active sites cellulose-based adsorbent (MCC/TEPAA-BCTTC) with a high density of multiple active adsorption sites (N, O, S) was prepared by using epichlorohydrin cross-linking microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) with tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA), followed by grafting with bis(carboxymethyl) trithiocarbonate (BCTTC). It was shown that the removal rates of MCC/TEPAA-BCTTC for Pb(II) (1 mg/L), Cu(II) (3 mg/L) and Cr(VI) (1 mg/L) reached 100 %, 98 % and 99 %, respectively, and the remaining concentration after adsorption reached the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) standards for Pb(II) and Cu(II) and the China integrated wastewater discharge standard for Cr(VI). These results indicate that the high removal rate of MCC/TEPAA-BCTTC for removing anionic and cationic heavy metal ions in low-concentration mixed heavy metal ions environments was mainly due to the high density of multiple adsorption sites that act via multiple cooperative mechanisms.

In heterogeneous catalysis , developing robust catalysts and preventing the metal leaching during the reactions still remain challenging. Herein, a porous honeycomb-like nanostructure with bimetallic Ce–Cr oxide supported on N-doped carbon was prepared via a facile in-situ pyrolysis method. The prepared catalyst was highly active, selective, and stable in the transformation of cyclohexane to KA oil with H 2 O 2 as the oxidant. The N-doped carbon served as an excellent support for the metal nanoparticles and greatly promoted their dispersion, and displayed a comparable or superior catalytic activity compared to the other traditional supports. It was found that the pyridinic N and pyrrolic N species of N-doped carbon were the main active sites for the metal immobilization , and the strong electronic interaction between N-doped carbon and Ce–Cr oxide was formed. The results revealed that the increased low-valence metal species might be responsible for the improved catalytic activity, and EPR analysis indicated that the hydroxyl radicals played a crucial role during the oxidation process . Besides, the catalyst can be easily separated and still remained stable after recycling seven times, making it a promising candidate for the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane to KA oil under mild conditions.
