A novel composite material (MCNC@Zn-BTC) is synthesized from magnetic cellulose nanocrystals (MCNC) and a metal–organic framework (MOF), based on Zn(II) and benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (Zn-BTC), using a simple mechanical agitation method at room temperature. The developed MCNC@Zn-BTC was characterized by SEM, TEM, FTIR, XRD, XPS, and VSM instruments. The impact of MCNC@Zn-BTC dose, initial Pb(II) concentration, contact time, pH, and adsorption temperature have been explored. Results demonstrated that only 30 min was needed to achieve the adsorption equilibrium; the maximum adsorption capacity was 558.66 mg/g at 298.2 K. Besides, data obtained were fitted to a Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.9890), and the adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model. In addition, the removal (%) of Pb(II) remained greater than 80% after five recycled times. Therefore, the novel MCNC@Zn-BTC adsorbent displays great potential to improve the quality of environmental water contaminated with heavy metals.

In the present study, a novel amino-functionalized magnetic aerobic granular sludge-biochar (NH 2 -M-AGS) was successfully fabricated through magnetization and functional modification and applied for Pb(II) sorption . The composite was characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Zeta potential analysis, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effects of adsorbent dosage, pH value, contact time and initial metal concentration on the adsorption of Pb(II) were investigated by using batch equilibrium experiments. It was concluded that the pseudo-second-order model was better to describe adsorption kinetic of Pb(II) onto NH 2 -M-AGS. The Langmuir model was more accorded with the experimental data, and the maximum adsorption capacity of Pb(II) was 127.0 mg/g. A possible adsorption mechanism could be mainly caused by surface complexation, electrostatic attraction and precipitation. In five adsorption-desorption cycles, the desorption efficiency of Pb(II) exhibited a slight decline and still reached at 88.14%. Furthermore, the good reproducibility indicated that NH 2 -M-AGS could be used a desirable, economic and recyclable adsorbent in practical metal-contaminated wastewater treatment .

The efficient purification of Pb(II)-containing wastewater is essential for safeguarding public health and maintaining the aquatic environment. In this study, novel hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) nanoparticle-embedded poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) composite adsorption membranes were developed through a simple blending method for efficient Pb(II) removal. This composite membrane (denoted as HFO-PVDF) combines the excellent selectivity of HFO nanoparticles for Pb(II) with the membrane’s advantage of easy scalability. The optimized HFO-PVDF(1.5)membrane achieved adsorption equilibrium within 20 h and exhibited excellent adsorption capacity. Moreover, adsorption capacity markedly enhanced with increasing temperature, confirming the endothermic nature of the process. The developed HFO-PVDF membranes demonstrate significant potential for real-world wastewater treatment applications, exhibiting exceptional selectivity for Pb(II) in complex ionic matrices and could be effectively regenerated via a relatively straightforward process. Furthermore, filtration and dynamic regeneration tests demonstrated that at an initial Pb(II) concentration of 5 mg/L, the membrane operated continuously for 10–13 h before regeneration, treating up to 200 L/m2of wastewater before breakthrough, highlighting potential for cost-effective industrial wastewater treatment. This study not only demonstrates the high efficiency of the HFO-PVDF membrane for heavy metal ion removal but also provides a theoretical foundation and technical support for its practical application in water treatment.

For further the understanding of the adsorption mechanism of heavy metal ions on the surface of protein-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers, a novel protein-derived hybrid nanoflower was prepared to investigate the adsorption behavior and reveal the function of organic and inorganic parts on the surface of nanoflowers in the adsorption process in this study. Silk fibroin (SF)-derived and copper-based protein-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers of SF@Cu-NFs were prepared through self-assembly. The product was characterized and applied to adsorption of heavy metal ion of Pb(II). With Chinese peony flower-like morphology, the prepared SF@Cu-NFs showed ordered three-dimensional structure and exhibited excellent efficiency for Pb(II) removal. On one hand, the adsorption performance of SF@Cu-HNFs for Pb(II) removal was evaluated through systematical thermodynamic and adsorption kinetics investigation. The good fittings of Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models indicated the monolayer adsorption and high capacity of about 2000 mg g−1of Pb(II) on SF@Cu-NFs. Meanwhile, the negative values ofΔrGm(T)θandΔrHmθproved the spontaneous and exothermic process of Pb(II) adsorption. On the other hand, the adsorption mechanism of SF@Cu-HNFs for Pb(II) removal was revealed with respect to its individual organic and inorganic component. Organic SF protein was designated as responsible ‘stamen’ adsorption site for fast adsorption of Pb(II), which was originated from multiple coordinative interaction by numerous amide groups; inorganic Cu3(PO4)2crystal was designated as responsible ‘petal’ adsorption site for slow adsorption of Pb(II), which was restricted from weak coordinative interaction by strong ion bond of Cu(II). With only about 10% weight content, SF protein was proven to play a key factor for SF@Cu-HNFs formation and have a significant effect on Pb(II) treatment. By fabricating SF@Cu-HNFs hybrid nanoflowers derived from SF protein, this work not only successfully provides insights on its adsorption performance and interaction mechanism for Pb(II) removal, but also provides a new idea for the preparation of adsorption materials for heavy metal ions in environmental sewage in the future.Keywords:silk fibroin;hybrid nanoflowers surface;Pb(II) removal;interaction mechanism

In this study, branched polyethylenimine (PEI) enhanced magnetic carboxymethyl chitosan (MCMC-PEI) was synthesized and applied as adsorbent for the rapid removal of Pb(II) from aqueous solution. The successful synthesis of the adsorbent was proved by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Simultaneously, the effect of the parameters such as initial concentration, adsorbent mass and pH of the solution on the removal of Pb(II) was studied by using response surface methodology (RSM). And central composite design (CCD), which is a widely used form of RSM, was employed in the experimental design procedure. The adsorption results revealed that the adsorption process could reach equilibrium rapidly within 10 min. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetic data could be well described by pseudo-second order model. The maximum adsorption capacity was 124.0 mg/g according to the Langmuir-Freundlich model, which fitted the adsorption isotherm of Pb(II) better than Langmuir model and Freundlich model, respectively. Thermodynamic studies (Δ G < 0, Δ H < 0, Δ S > 0) implied a spontaneous and exothermic process in nature. Meanwhile, the fabricated adsorbent exhibited excellent reusability. Therefore, the excellent adsorption property of MCMC-PEI made it a promising application in water treatment.

Efficient removal of arsenic (As) and lead (Pb) from industrial wastewater has long been a critical environmental issue due to their serious risk to human health. Therefore, in this work, a modified banana peel biochar (MBPB) was prepared by mixing calcium nitrate , diammonium hydrogen phosphate , sulfuric acid, ferric nitrate with dehydrated banana peel biochar as adsorbent for As(V) and Pb(II) removal in wastewater, and their absorption mechanism was investigated. SEM-EDS, TEM, FTIR , XRD , XPS , BET, kinetic, and isothermal characteristics of MBPB and pristine banana peel biochar (PBPB) were conducted. The behavior of both metal ions on MBPB and PBPB was well explained by the pseudo-second-order kinetic with Langmuir and Freundlich models. We found that the two biochar’s behaviors were mixture processes of monolayer and multilayer adsorption , achieving maximum capacities as determined by the Langmuir model of 39.5 mg g −1 (MBPB-As), 33.2 mg g −1 (MBPB-Pb), 30.8 mg g −1 (PBPB-Pb), and 23.5 mg g −1 (PBPB-As), with maximum efficiencies of 98.7% (MBPB-As) and 90.3% (MBPB-Pb) under optimum conditions. Thermodynamic tests showed that As(V) and Pb(II) removal on MBPB was a spontaneous and endothermic physisorption process. MBPB showed great reusability in As(V) and Pb(II) removal, with removal rates as high as 71.4% and 66.5% after five cycles, respectively. Selective adsorption of As(V) and Pb(II) was also investigated on MBPB, and the removal rate was still high in the mixture of heavy metals. These findings provide a feasible method for the environmental-benign utilization of banana peel as a low-priced adsorbent in wastewater treatment .
