Heavy metal ion pollution (e.g., Hg, Pb, Cr, Cd) that has a great threat to human health is a global concern, because of their great toxicity (e.g., carcinogenicity and mutagenicity). Therefore, it is necessary to find an economical and efficient technology to remove metal. In recent years, modified biochar plays an important role in the removal of heavy metal. However, most of the biochar modification methods rely on high temperature and long time, which limits their application in practical engineering. In this study, we firstly synthesized HMBC (MnO X -OBC, peanut shells as raw materials) using H 2 O 2 -NaOH method, where the materials only need to be modified for 10 min at ambient temperature to obtain high adsorption performance. The maximum Pb(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) adsorption capacities of HMBC were 164.59 mg g − 1 and 36.77 mg g − 1 , respectively, which were 7.2 times and 5.6 times that of the unmodified PBC (peanut shells derived biochar ) , and the main adsorption mechanisms were complexation, ion exchange, cation-π interaction and precipitation. The adsorption process of lead and cadmium by HMBC was more consistent with the Freundlich model and Pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics . HMBC had high selectivity for lead and cadmium, and the adsorption performance of HMBC was basically not reduced after five cycles. The above experimental results show that the newly prepared HMBC has the potential to treat lead and cadmium industrial wastewater.

Heavy metals sequestration from industrial discharges has aroused increasing attention worldwide to cleaner and sustainable water production by developing fast, effective eco-friendly nanosorbents. This study aimed to design a robust and fast nanocomposite to remove heavy metal ions, mainly Pb(II) and Cd(II). To this end, poly-(2-aminothiophenol); PATP was incorporated into graphene oxide; GO to fabricate PATP@GO nanocomposite. The structure and morphology of the novel nanocomposite were evaluated by FTIR, TEM, XRD, Raman, EDX, and TGA. Integrating PATP improved the adsorption efficiency of the GO from 61.3% to 98.6% for Pb(II) and 34.6% to 87.3% for Cd(II). Furthermore, the impact of pH, the mass of nanocomposite, metal ions concentrations, and coexisting ions were thoroughly investigated and optimized. The potential efficiency and adsorption capacity of PATP@GO nanocomposite toward Pb(II) was 98.6.00%, 142.9 mg.g-1 for Pb(II) at pH 5 and 87.3%, 125.0 mg.g-1 for Cd(II) at pH 7 within 25 minutes, respectively. This behavior was explained in terms of strong complex formation with the thiol groups of PATP, as well as the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in GO. Kinetic studies were based on pseudo-second order (R2 > 0.99) and the adsorption data are best fitted with the Langmuir model. The excellent stability of PATP@GO nanocomposite enabled effective extractions for seven successive runs (98.6%-95.3% for Pb(II) and 87.3–85.1% for Cd(II)). The developed PATP@GO nanocomposite is believed to show fast and high potential in detoxifying of heavy metal ions from different environmental samples in aquatic life.

Attention has been paid to the application of biochar in the remediation of heavy metal contamination in soils. In this study, two modification methods, bleaching and activation, were used to enhance the biochar sorption of Cu(II) and Pb(II). Multiple techniques, including XPS, FTIR and13C NMR, were applied to investigate the properties of bleached and activated biochars. Combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, structural changes in the biochars and the main mechanism of Cu(II) and Pb(II) sorption were discussed after modification. The bleached biochar without non-condensed aromatic C possessed many oxygen-containing groups due to oxidation. In contrast, activation increased the specific surface area (SSA) and removed the carboxyl groups. Both modifications had an excellent effect on sorption by high-temperature biochars, especially the bleaching treatment. The bleached and activated biochars exhibited superior Pb(II) sorption compared with Cu(II) due to the larger electron cloud configuration of Pb(II). The significantly positive correlation of theKdvalues with the COOH/C=O content indicated that the oxygen-containing groups were responsible for Cu(II) and Pb(II) sorption. The DFT calculation demonstrated a higher energy for the cation–π interaction than for the complexation for Cu(II) sorption, whereas the opposite case was observed for Pb(II) sorption. The complexation and cation–π interaction were the main mechanisms of Cu(II) and Pb(II) sorption. This study provides important guidance for the application of modified biochars in the sorption of heavy metals in the environment.Keywords:biochar chemical modification;heavy metal;sorption;complexation;cation–π interaction

The presence of pollutants in drinking water has become a significant concern recently. Various substances, including activated carbon, membranes, biochar, etc., are used to remove these pollutants. In the present study, a new composite comprising cotton fabric and a mixture of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) was synthesized and used as an adsorbent for eliminating pollutants from wastewater. At first, the UiO-66 MOFs were prepared by a simple method of reacting Zirconium (IV) chloride (ZrCl 4 ) and p-Phthalic acid (PTA) after successful preparation of UiO-66 then modified its surface with amino functional groups by reacting with APTES to obtain UiO-66-NH 2 . Moreover, the cellulose cotton fabric (CF) surface was modified with Polydopamine (PDA) and obtained CF@PDA. Further, with the help of EDC-HCl and NHS, the UiO-66-NH 2 grafted on the surface of the CF@PDA and finally obtained CF@PDA/UiO-66-NH 2 . In addition, the adsorption study was performed toward RhB dye and Pb(II) metal ion pollutants. The maximum adsorption toward RhB dye was 68.5 mg/g, while toward Pb(II) metal ions was 65 mg/g. In addition, the kinetic study was also conducted and the result favoured the Pseudo-second order kinetic study. The adsorption isotherm was also studied and the Langmuir model was more fitted as compared with the Freundlich model. Moreover, the material has excellent regeneration and recycling ability after ten cycles. The significant adsorption ability, the novel combination of cotton and MOFs, and the recycling feature make our material CF@PDA/UiO-66-NH 2 a promising potential absorbent material for wastewater treatment and even in other important areas of water research.

Chitosan-pectin gel beads (CPBs) were synthesized via a facile and green method and applied to remove heavy metals from aqueous solution. The structural characteristics of CPBs were investigated by SEM and FTIR, the mechanical strength of CPBs was measured by Texture Analyzer and the stability of CPBs was evaluated in acidic solution. To study the adsorption characteristics, the effect of pH, contact time, initial heavy metals concentration, temperature, adsorption mechanism and regeneration were systematically investigated. The adsorption kinetics fitted well pseudo-second-order model, and the adsorption isotherms were well described by Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacities of Cu(II), Cd(II), Hg(II) and Pb(II) were 169.4, 177.6, 208.5 and 266.5 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption-desorption experiments revealed that the CPBs exhibited a great reusability. Thus, the synthesized CPBs in this study had the potential to be utilized as an environment-friendly and green adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals.

Hydrogels have extensively studied as adsorbents, raw materials for the preparation of adsorbent hydrogels have low strength, while high strength hydrogels have weak adsorption capacity. In this study, PVA hydrogel was crosslinked via trihydroxy melamine and epichlorohydrin, and β-cyclodextrin with strong adsorption capacity was added to remove the heavy metal ions . Results showed that the addition of trihydroxy melamine with 8%, the compressive strength of the hydrogel was increased by approximately 20%. The Langmuir isotherm model showed that the adsorption capacity of the hydrogel for Pb(II) and Ni(II) reached 505.9 mg/g and 286.7 mg/g, respectively, and the efficiency of removing the low-concentration heavy metal ions in water more than 99%. The hydrogel is low cost, and maintained highly removal efficiency under low pH. The removal efficiency of the hydrogel remained above 90% after five repeated adsorption-desorption experiments. The hydrogels have a potential to be used in wastewater treatment as adsorbents.

Nitrogen/phosphorus enriched biochars with enhanced porosity were prepared through a one-step pyrolysis of bamboo sawdust activated by guanidine phosphate (GP). The thermal decomposition of GP released alkaline gas and hydrogen proton to create more micropores in biochar matrix which were extended to be mesopores further. Nitrogenous/phosphorous moieties of GP were introduced into biochars efficiently via cross-linking with the carbon skeleton. GP-activated biochar pyrolyzed at 450 °C exhibited enriched surface functional groups (11.3 at.% for N, 4.1 at.% for P), resulting in high sorption capacities for aquatic Pb(II) (166.2 mg/g), Cu(II) (81.7 mg/g), and Cd(II) (60.3 mg/g). Pb(II) was passivated fast with the formation of minerals including Pb 5 (PO 4 ) 3 OH and Pb 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl. Cu(II) was strongly coordinated with the N-containing species especially pyridinic N. Cd(II) was also captured efficiently due to the chemical complexation, cation exchange and cation-π bonds. GP-activated biochars could be well-recycling used to capture these heavy metals. Regarding these, the activation of biomass residuals could be an efficient approach to functionalize the surface of biochars with enhanced porosity, which is great benefiting for the immobilization of heavy metals from contaminated water.

This study reports a novel adsorbent structure and shows the satisfactory removal performance of Pb(II) and Ni(II). The fabric structure increases the strength of the hydrogel. The hydrogel plays a major role in the composite structure as a matrix, while the fabric bears the applied load and protects the structure from mechanical damage. The double-network composite hydrogel is reinforced by plasma grafted polylactic acid melt-blown non-woven fabric and polyethylene glycol dimaleate, and its compressive strength reaches 40.6 kPa at 60% strain. The interface substantially improves the compression strength by 42.9%. Through the adsorption isotherm model, the adsorption capacity of the hydrogel for Pb(II) and Ni(II) reaches 233.12 and 165.06 mg/g, respectively, and the removal rate of heavy metal ions in water at low concentrations exceeds 95%, showing the excellent removal rate of heavy metals. Even after the fifth cycle, the removal efficiency barely declines, indicating the feasibility of repeatedly use. Cost analysis reveals that the adsorbent is relatively low cost, solving the problems of difficult recovery, low strength, and easy damage of hydrogel adsorbents, and promoting the industrial application of hydrogels as adsorbents.

Many Industrial effluents contain high concentrations of Cd(II) and Pb(II), which are serious problems for causing threat to human health. Adsorption has drawn considerable attention owing to its high efficiency and easy operation. In this paper, nanoscale nitrogen-doped aerogel microspheres (NCA) was synthesised through polymerization of phenolic resin and melamine in an emulsion suspension system. Factors influencing the adsorption properties of NCA and carbon aerogels microspheres (CA) toward Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions were studied, namely, pH, adsorbent content, initial Cd(II) and Pb(II) concentrations, and contact time. Furthermore, three models isotherm including Langmuir, Freundlich, and Sipss and three kinetic models were used in interpreting the adsorption process. NCA exhibited an excellent adsorption property and maximum removal capacity of 935.56 mg·g −1 for Pb(II) and 282.07 mg·g −1 for Cd(II). Results from XPS analysis implied that the amount of Pb absorbed by NCA was higher than that of CA mainly because of the complexing effect of nitrogen-containing functional groups on Pb(II). Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that N doping is beneficial to Pb(II) adsorption. These results suggested that NCA can be used as an adsorbent for the removal of Cd(II) and Pb(II) from industrial effluents.

A key matter in heavy metal removal technology is to develop the adsorbents with efficient adsorption sites. In this study, an oxygen-rich covalent organic framework (JUC-505) was functionalized by carboxyl (−COOH) groups to form synergetic effects aiming for the removal of Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions. JUC-505-COOH shows a high Cd(II) uptake of 504 mg⋅g −1 surpassing most of the reported porous adsorbents. Meanwhile, the kinetics study shows a rapid adsorption process at a high initial concentration (100 mg⋅L −1 ), and the equilibrium can be reached within 5 min. We investigated the adsorption mechanism in-depth by density functional theory calculations, proving the synergistic effects of surface complexation and hydrogen-bond, which are from the post-modified −COOH groups and the in-situ oxygen atoms of JUC-505, respectively. Moreover, under the interference of common ions in natural water, the removal efficiency of Cd(II) is almost insusceptible, which sheds lights on the potential for the application in the natural water purification . In addition, the Pb(II) uptake (559 mg⋅g −1 ) and the adsorption kinetics also surpass most of the reported porous adsorbents.

A raw illite-smectite mixed-layered clay (RI/S) was ground for preparing nano-sized I/S clay (NI/S) and subsequently amino-functionalized via grafting of 3-aminopropyltrithoxysilane (APTES) (NH 2 -RI/S and NH 2 -NI/S, respectively). The samples were characterized by particle size analysis, specific surface area measurement, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and 29 Si nuclear magnetic resonance ( 29 Si NMR). Compared to RI/S, NI/S has a narrow particle size distribution and appears in a platelet-like morphology due to the disintegration/exfoliation of RI/S after grinding. Based on the 29 Si NMR spectra, the appearances of tri-silicate units indicate the chemically grafting of APTES molecules on NH 2 -RI/S and NH 2 -NI/S, respectively. NH 2 -NI/S can adsorb greater amounts of Pb(II) cations and Cr(VI) anions rather than NH 2 -RI/S since NH 2 -NI/S grafts more amounts of amine groups (-NH 2 ). The isotherm data for adsorption of Pb(II) cations and Cr(VI) anions can be described by the Langmuir model at different temperatures (i.e., 10 °C, 30 °C, and 50 °C), respectively. The maximum adsorption amounts of Pb(II) cations and Cr(VI) anions onto NH 2 -NI/S calculated by the Langmuir isotherm model are 131.23 mg/g and 36.91 mg/g at 50 °C, respectively. The adsorptions of Pb(II) cations and Cr(VI) anions onto NH 2 -NI/S involve in the surface complexation of NI/S and amine groups.

CuZrO 3 nanocomposites were prepared by chemical precipitation and oxidation at a high temperature (700 °C). The structural features of the fabricated CuZrO 3 nanocomposites (CuZrO 3 NCs) were elucidated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results presented herein show that these nanocomposites formed a nanograde needle structure with high crystallinity. By mixing with graphene (Gr), a CuZrO 3 -Gr composite modified glassy carbon electrode (CuZrO 3 -Gr/GCE) was successfully constructed for the simultaneous electrochemical detection of Pb(II) and Cd(II) in a acetate (NaAc-HAc) buffer solution (pH 4.6) via square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). Due to the synergetic effect of the CuZrO 3 nanoparticles and graphene, the CuZrO 3 -Gr/GCE showed excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical stability in the presence of Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions. The limits of detection were 0.1 μg L −1 for Pb(II) and 0.5 μg L −1 for Cd(II). Application of this method for the co-detection of two ions in soil samples is expected to obtain useful results and possess significant advantages over tradition detection methods.
