Cr/Co-MOFs were synthesized via a solvothermal method using chromium acetate and cobalt chloride hexahydrate as metal ions, and trimeric acid as the organic ligand. The structures of Cr/Co-MOFs were characterized using Fourier infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy techniques. These Cr/Co-MOFs were used for removing organic contaminants in wastewater treatment. Fleroxacin and Rhodamine B (RhB) were specifically selected as target molecules in this study to evaluate the removal efficiency based on the mass of Co/Cr-MOFs, concentrations of organic contaminants, and adsorption time. Experimental findings indicated that at a Co/Cr-MOFs dosage of 100 mg, with initial concentrations of Fleroxacin (30 ppm) and RhB (20 ppm), removal efficiencies achieved were 95% and 99%, respectively. Within a timeframe of 5 h, Co/Cr-MOFs attained adsorption capacities amounting to 269.6 mg·g −1 for fleroxacin and 289.5 mg·g −1 for RhB. The interaction between Co/Cr-MOFs and fleroxacin, as well as RhB, is primarily attributed to factors such as pore size, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic charge, and π–π interactions. Moreover, theoretical analysis corroborated these experimental results by demonstrating conformity between the adsorption process and both second-order kinetic model equations alongside Langmuir isotherm model equations. Collectively, the experimental data combined with theoretical investigations underscore the practical significance associated with employing Co/Cr-MOFs for effective eradication of organic pollutants.

Photoelectrocatalytic approaches show promise for contaminate removal in wastewater through redox reactions. However, the direct treatment of very low concentration heavy metals is a challenging task. Copper bismuth oxide is considered as a potential photocathode material due to its appropriate bandgap width and excellent light absorption properties. In this work, we utilize copper bismuth oxide photoelectrodes with micrometer-scale pores to achieve the efficient and complete reduction of micromolar-level hexavalent chromium(VI) in wastewater. In a continuous 180 min experiment, the reduction rate of 5 µM hexavalent chromium reached 97%, which is an order lower than the drinking standard. Such a process was facilitated by the unique hierarchical microstructure of the oxide thin film and the porous morphology. On the other hand, the structural evolution during the operation was analyzed. A surface passivation was observed, suggesting the possible long-term practical application of this material. This study serves as an important reference for the application of photoelectrocatalysis in addressing Cr(VI) pollution in wastewater, with implications for improving water quality and environmental protection.

Removing hexavalent chromium (Cr⁶⁺) from wastewater is of great significance for ecological environment, human health, and sustainable industrial development. In this work, Cu-Al2O3 nano powders and Cu-Al2O3@AD nanocomposite were prepared by coprecipitation method, which were used to adsorb Cr⁶⁺. The materials Cu-Al2O3@AD have ordered structures, and rich functional groups as verified by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy spectrum analysis (EDS), and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). Then, Cu-Al2O3@AD was used as adsorbents for fast and efficient removal of Cr⁶⁺ from aqueous solution by batch equilibrium experiments. The experimental results demonstrate that when the adsorbent dosage was10 g/L, the pH value was 3, the initial concentration of Cr6+ was 2 μ g/mL, and the reaction temperature was 30℃, the adsorption performance of Cu-Al2O3@AD is the best, with a removal rate of up to 90%. The adsorption kinetic and isotherm data follow the pseudo-first-order equation and the Langmuir model, respectively. The adsorption mechanisms of Cr⁶⁺ are ascribed to the monolayer adsorption.

The reduction and adsorption of Cr(VI) are critical challenges in environmental remediation. In this study, corn straw modified with polyethyleneimine (PEI-CS) was synthesized as carriers to immobilize Bacillus licheniformis MZ1 (PEI-CS-MZ1), enabling simultaneous Cr(VI) reduction and Cr(III) fixation in a high efficiency. Notably, PEI-CS-MZ1 achieved 95.61 % and 81.96 % Cr(VI) reduction under extreme conditions (pH 8 and 11 % salinity), respectively. Furthermore, this composite completely reduced 100 mg/L Cr(VI) within 24 h while maintaining 76.96 % Cr(III) fixation, which was significantly superior to free MZ1 and PEI-CS. PEI-CS-MZ1 also demonstrated exceptional stability, retaining 89.8 % Cr(VI) reduction after 10 operational cycles. This strategy revealed that Cr(VI) reduction and Cr(III) fixation were accomplished via cooperativity of bio-reduction, chemical reduction, chemisorption, and physical adsorption. This work provides theoretical foundations for designing immobilized microbial systems toward efficient remediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated wastewater.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as promising photocatalysts, have been widely used in Cr(VI) removal due to their high porosity and structural tunability, whereas the simple hybridization of MOFs was not beneficial for the separation of photogenerated carriers. In this study, a novel Al-doped and hydroxyl-functionalized Zr-based MOF (named as Al/Zr-UiO-66-(OH)2) was synthesized via dual strategies of bimetallization and hydroxylation. Characterization results confirmed that the incorporation of Al and hydroxyl groups effectively reduced the bandgap and enhanced separation efficiency of photogenerated charge. Al/Zr-UiO-66-(OH)2 (1:5) exhibited outstanding photocatalytic reduction performance towards Cr(VI) (99.3% within 2 h) under visible light. The photocatalytic rate of Al/Zr-UiO-66-(OH)2 (K = 0.0148 min-1) was 74 times higher than that of UiO-66 (K = 0.0002 min-1). Trapping experiments, EPR and XPS analysis revealed that highly efficient photoreduction of Cr(VI) into Cr(III) was attributed to electrons and ·O2- radicals. These findings provide a feasible strategy for designing MOF-based photocatalysts for practical environmental remediation.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) photocatalysts were synthesized via a one-step pyrolysis process using melamine, dicyandiamide, thiourea, and urea as precursors. The obtained g-C3N4materials exhibited a significantly different performance for the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) under white light irradiation, which is attributed to the altered structure and occupancies surface groups. The urea-derived g-C3N4with nanosheet morphology, large specific surface area, and high occupancies of surface amine groups exhibited superior photocatalytic activity. The nanosheet morphology and large surface area facilitated the separation and transmission of charge, while the high occupancies of surface amine groups promoted the formation of hydrogen adsorption atomic centers which were beneficial to Cr(VI) reduction. Moreover, the possible reduction pathway of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) over the urea-derived g-C3N4was proposed and the reduction process was mainly initiated by a direct reduction of photogenerated electrons.Keywords:Cr (VI) reduction;photocatalytic;g-C3N4precursors;nanosheet morphology;surface characteristics

Ordered mesoporous alumina (MA) was successfully modified with three amino organosilanes including 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (1N), N-(β-aminoethyl)-γ-aminopropylmethylbimethoxysilane (2N) and N-3-trimethoxysilylpropyldiethylenetriamine (3N) via a facile grafting method, and the as-prepared amino organosilane grafted MA–1N, MA–2N and MA–3N show enhanced adsorption performance towards Cr(VI) removal from wastewater. Their physicochemical properties and the MA before modification were comparatively characterized by FT-IR, TEM, XRD, N2 adsorption–desorption, CHNS elemental analysis, zeta potential measurements and XPS. Their adsorption performance was also comparatively studied along with the effect of contact time, adsorption isotherms, multi-metal ion adsorption, interference of co-existing anions and regeneration ability in batch experiments. It was found that their adsorption kinetics data were better fitted by the pseudo-second order model; adsorption isotherms were better described by the Langmuir isotherm for MA–1N, the Freundlich isotherm for MA–2N and the Temkin isotherm for MA–3N. Among them, MA–2N shows the maximum adsorption capacity of 137.9 mg g−1 which is more than twice the 59.4 mg g−1 of MA. The residual concentration of Cr(VI) with a concentration of 50 mg L−1 when treated with MA–2N meets the emission standard of the World Health Organization (WHO). Moreover, MA–2N shows better selectivity toward Cr(VI), and can reduce relatively more Cr(VI) to low toxicity Cr(III). More results were found that Cr(VI) is adsorbed on the surface through a monodentate ligand or bidentate ligand, and then Cr(VI) is reduced to Cr(III) by an adjacent electron donor, after which Cr(III) is co-precipitated with the adsorbents. All the amine-grafted samples show good reusability for 5 cycles. These results indicated that the amino organosilane grafted ordered MA with high adsorption capacity, good selectivity and favourable reusability is a promising candidate for Cr(VI) removal, in combination with its low cost and energy saving preparation process.

Porous α-Fe2O3 nanostructures with different morphologies, such as rod-like, sphere-like and cube-like nanostructures, were successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method. The obtained products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and nitrogen adsorption. It was found that iron precursors played a crucial role in the formation of porous α-Fe2O3 nanostructures. The porous α-Fe2O3 nanorods possessed largest BET surface area and ideal pore distribution, as well as exhibited excellent Cr(VI) removal capacity and a fast adsorption rate in a wide pH range. Moreover, porous α-Fe2O3 nanorods also showed excellent adsorptive ability for organic dyes.

Novel hybrid nanocomposites constructed via anchoring the Fe 3 O 4 @polypyrrole nanospheres with hierarchical porous structure on graphene nanosheets (graphene/Fe 3 O 4 @polypyrrole, GFP) have been prepared, and characterized by using TEM, XRD , XPS, FT-IR and TGA . The large saturation magnetization of 12.4 emu g −1 allows fast and economic separation of the GFP from solution. Due to the synergic effect between graphene and Fe 3 O 4 @polypyrrole, the GFP exhibits excellent adsorption capability of 348.4 mg g −1 for Cr(VI) removal, which is much higher than the previously reported values of other magnetic nanomaterials . Furthermore, the GFP is stable and recyclable, retaining about 72.2% of the removal efficiency after six adsorption–desorption cycles. The adsorption isotherms and kinetics could be well simulated by the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models respectively. The GFP nanocomposites could be a good candidate for efficient Cr(VI) removal from the wastewater.

The diffusion of Re(VII), Se(IV) and Cr(VI) in compacted Gaomiaozi bentonite was conducted by an integrated diffusion setup. The effective diffusion coefficient and the rock capacity factor of Re(VII), Se(IV) and Cr(VI) were measured. Re(VII) and Cr(VI) were excluded from the surface of bentonite particles with an accessible porosity of 0.40 and 0.23. The geometric factor decreased in a sequence of Cr(VI) < Se(IV) < Re(VII), indicating that Cr(IV) had a lower tortuosity, a larger diffusion pore diameter, and a stronger anionic exclusion effect from the surface of bentonite platelets.

MIL-101(Cr) morphology was modulated by addition of sodium stearate (SS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in the precursor solution. The resulting SS modulation MIL-101(Cr) (SS@MIL-0.1 and SS@MIL-0.2) are quasi-spherical, and the CTAB modulation MIL-101(Cr) (CTAB@MIL-0.2) has a regular octahedral shape, similar to the pure MIL-101(Cr). Their particles after modification are reduced, and the structures of MIL-101(Cr) crystals are not destroyed. These modifications improve their adsorption capacity for methyl orange (MO). The maximum adsorption capacity of MO on the CTAB@MIL-0.2 and SS@MIL-0.2 can reach 645.2 and 454.5 mg g −1 , respectively, superior to many adsorbents reported in the literatures. The CTAB@MIL-0.2 and SS@MIL-0.2 exhibit outstanding selective adsorption of MO from the mixed solution of MO and methylene blue (MB). Our work may provide a feasible method to obtain MIL-101(Cr) with different morphologies, especially quasi-spherical, and open up a new doorway for utilizing MIL-101(Cr).

Activated carbon/chitosan composite has been used as an adsorbent to remove aniline and Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solutions simultaneously. The effects of preparation conditions such as the ratio of activated carbon to chitosan, crosslinking reagents, crosslinking time, and adsorption conditions including adsorbent dosage, pH value of solution, and contact time on simultaneous adsorption of aniline and Cr(VI) ion were investigated. Experimental results showed that epichlorohydrin was the proper crosslinking reagent, and the ratio of activated carbon to chitosan was kept at 1. When the adsorbent dosage was 4.0 g/L, and the concentrations of aniline and Cr(VI) were lower than 50 and 100 mg/L, respectively, both aniline and Cr(VI) were simultaneously removed at natural pH with high removals (>95%). The presence of Cr(VI) enhanced the adsorption of aniline, while the presence of aniline almost had no influence on the adsorption of Cr(VI). The adsorption processes of both aniline and Cr(VI) followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics model, but the sorption of Cr(VI) was preferential to that of aniline by this composite. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
