In the present study, a functionalized carboxymethyl cellulose-based adsorbent (PEI–PAM–CMC) was prepared via linking polyethyleneimine and polyacrylamide with carboxymethyl cellulose by epichlorohydrin. It possessed a sponge-like structure with a large number of micron-sized pores, which facilitated the mass transfer of Cr(VI). Under neutral conditions, Cr(VI) can be efficiently removed by the protonated PEI–PAM–CMC. The residual levels in the effluent were below 0.5 and 0.05 mg L−1 for 10 and 1 mg L−1 of Cr(VI), respectively. The adsorption data fitted well with the pseudo-second order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm. Common ions including Cl−, H2PO4−, NO3−, K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Cr3+ had neglectable influence for Cr(VI) adsorption on the PEI–PAM–CMC except SO42−. Meanwhile, PEI–PAM–CMC showed good regeneration and reusability with a 7.5% decrease in the removal rate after ten adsorption/desorption cycles. XPS analysis and DFT calculation revealed that Cr(VI) uptake by the PEI–PAM–CMC was involved in electrostatic attraction and chemical binding. Electrostatics and induction were the main weak interaction between Cr(VI) and the adsorbent, and the major chemical adsorption sites were mainly distributed in the nitrogen groups. This research not only developed an efficient material for Cr(VI) removal but also provided a promising insight into an adsorption mechanism study.

Amino-functionalized graphene oxide (GO-NH 2 ) was synthesized by grafting (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane on the graphene oxide (GO) surface. The GO-NH 2 with high surface area and numerous active sites can efficiently adsorb Cr(VI), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions. The maximum adsorption capacities of GO-NH 2 for Cr(VI), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Cd(II) were 280.11, 26.25, 71.89 and 10.04 mg g −1 , respectively. The pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were employed to describe the kinetic processes. The experimental data agreed well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation, and the adsorption of heavy metals onto GO-NH 2 occurs via chemical adsorption. The characteristics of Cr(VI), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Cd(II) in the GO-NH 2 adsorption processes were analyzed using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The adsorption processes of Pb(II) and Cd(II) on GO-NH 2 were fit by the Langmuir model. The Freundlich isotherm model was well correlated to Cr(VI) and Cu(II). The GO-NH 2 is a promising material for the removal of heavy metal ions from industrial wastewater. This study provides an effective pathway to process industrial wastewater, and the GO-NH 2 has a good adsorption effect for the treatment of heavy metals in industrial wastewater.

The aggregation of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) particles and their limited transport ability in environmental media hinder their application in environmental remediation. In this study, the Cr(VI) removal efficiency, transport performance, and toxicity of nZVI and bentonite-modified nZVI (B-nZVI) were investigated. Compared with nZVI, B-nZVI improved the removal efficiency of Cr(VI) by 10%, and also significantly increased the transport in quartz sand and soil. Increasing the flow rate can enhance the transport of nZVI and B-nZVI in the quartz sand columns. The transport of the two materials in different soils was negatively correlated with the clay composition. Besides, modification of nZVI by bentonite could reduce toxicity to luminous bacteria (Photobacterium phosphereumT3) and ryegrass (Lolium perenneL.). Compared with Fe-EDTA, the transfer factors of nZVI and B-nZVI were 65.0% and 66.4% lower, respectively. This indicated that although iron nanoparticles accumulated in the roots of ryegrass, they were difficult to be transported to the shoots. The results of this study indicate that B-nZVI has a strong application potential in in situ environmental remediation.Keywords:nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI);hexavalent chromium;bentonite;toxicity

Carbon microspheres have attracted considerable interest in the field of heavy metal wastewater treatment. Herein, waste peanut hull derived N-doped spherical carbons (WPHSC) were successfully prepared by a one-step mild hydrothermal method. The obtained samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, FT-IR and XPS. The adsorption tests indicated that the WPHSC show excellent adsorption performance for Cr(VI) with the maximum adsorption capacity of 181.82 mg g −1 . While treating the real electroplating wastewater with a WPHSC dosage of 4 g L −1 , the Cr concentration significantly decreased from 652.96 mg L −1 to 113.42 mg L −1 . The adsorption mechanism attributes to the electrostatic attraction and redox reaction between Cr(VI) and WPHSC. Importantly, this method can be extended to other waste plant biomass, including sunflower seed hulls, walnut shell, coconut shell and corncob as carbon sources. The adsorption removal efficiencies of the obtained carbon spheres for 100 mg L -1 Cr(VI) are all over 99.5 % with low residual concentrations less than 0.5 mg L −1 . This universal study expands the scope of renewable raw materials for preparing carbon spheres with great application potential in the field of chromium-containing wastewater treatment.

Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), with its high mobility and acute toxicity, seriously threatens both soil integrity and human health. Herein, we propose a material design strategy to enhance Cr(VI) detoxification by loading sulfur-modified nanoscale zero-valent iron onto phosphorus-modified biochar (S-nZVI@PBC), attaining highly efficient remediation of Cr residues in contaminated sites. Characterization results demonstrated that S modification and PBC loading effectively prevent oxidation and aggregation of primitive nZVI, thereby enhancing electron transfer and reactivity of the material. Compared to traditional nZVI, S-nZVI@PBC exhibited a 2.4 times enhancement in Cr(VI) reduction efficiency and 1.12 times improvement in electron utilization efficiency, achieving an optimal adsorption capacity of 352.44 mg/g within 60 min. After 28 d of remediation, soil Cr(VI) content decreased significantly from 2000 to 361.03 mg/kg, while the TCLP leachate concentration of Cr was reduced from 2000 to 178.71 mg/kg, effectively mitigating the biotoxicity of Cr(VI). Furthermore, S-nZVI@PBC exhibited excellent reactivity and mobility, the effect of remediation achieved nearly 100 % Cr(VI) removal in topsoil within 1 d and reduced the deep soil concentrations by 1164.70 mg/kg after 21 d, while effectively transforming exchangeable Cr into immobilized Fe/Mn oxide-bound species. The remediation mechanism of S-nZVI@PBC in Cr(VI)-contaminated soils predominantly decreased Cr bioavailability via adsorption, reduction, and co-precipitation pathways. Collectively, this study presents a highly effective nZVI modification strategy, providing theoretical and technical support for effective site remediation.

A cellulosic material has been synthesized that could efficiently and selectively adsorb organic and inorganic contaminants from aqueous solutions without interference from competing adsorption sites. Cellulose-graft-tetraethylenepentamine molecular imprinted polymer (C-TEPA-MIP) was synthesized by using 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) as the template. The C-TEPA-MIP adsorbent could adsorb 4-NP and Cr(VI) simultaneously and selectively, without being affected by the competitive adsorption sites of each of these pollutants. The adsorption of 4-NP was predominantly due to the imprinted sites of 4-NP in C-TEPA-MIP that were located inside of the adsorbent, whereas that of Cr(VI) was primarily due to the amine groups of TEPA found on the surface of the adsorbent. Compared with the non-imprint polymer synthesized without the template, C-TEPA-MIP showed higher selectivity for both 4-NP and Cr(VI) in unitary and binary systems. In addition, C-TEPA-MIP exhibited good stability and recyclability for 4-NP, which makes it a promising candidate material for applications concerning wastewater treatment. Graphical abstract

The demand for clean water and soil drives high efficiency, less expensive, and eco-friendly clay-composites as adsorbents for remediation of heavy metals polluted environment. We have developed a new water remediation technique by using an organic-inorganic composite, L-cysteine doped polypyrrole modified bentonite (L-cys/PPy/BT) for removal of Cr(VI) and Mo(VI). The L-cys/PPy/BT showed maximum adsorption capacities of 318.5 and 65.4 mg/g for Cr(VI) and Mo(VI) respectively. For Cr(VI) and Mo(VI) the sorption process on L-cys/PPy/BT followed the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models, respectively. Furthermore, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model described the adsorption behavior of Cr(VI) and Mo(VI). Moreover, the thermodynamic parameters indicated that sorption processes were endothermic and spontaneous. Mechanistic assessment revealed that adsorption of Mo(VI) on L-cys/PPy/BT could be attributed to chelation, electrostatic attraction and ion-exchange of Mo(VI) with the imine/amine functional groups in the material's matrix , while electrostatic attraction, ion exchange, chelation and redox reaction played a significant role in the removal of Cr(VI). This research provides a new approach for the use of clay materials as potential sorbents for removal of heavy metal ions in contaminated water .

Much research has focused on the removal of individual contaminants such as As(V) or Cr(VI) from wastewater. However, limited efforts have been devoted to their simultaneous removal in binary systems. This is largely due to the complexity of wastewater matrices and the similar chemical characteristics of As(V) and Cr(VI). In this study, La-modified UiO-66 was synthesized by a one-pot method and employed as a multifunctional adsorbent to simultaneously remove As(V) and Cr(VI) via batch experiments. Characterization results demonstrated that La was successfully grafted onto UiO-66 through Zr-ligand (O)-La and Zr-ligand (O)-Zr linkages, while the fcu structural topology and microporous nature of UiO-66 were well remained. For simultaneous uptake of As(V) and Cr(VI), a synergistic effect of Cr(VI) was observed on As(V) removal, whereas As(V) exhibited an inhibitory effect on Cr(VI) adsorption. Compared with the single component system, the adsorption capacity of As(V) in the binary system increased by approximately 26 %, while the adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) decreased by about 20 %. The enhanced uptake of As(V) was attributed to the formation of a new Cr As complex compound between adsorbed Cr(III) and As(V). In contrast, the inhibitory influence of As(V) on Cr(VI) adsorption was ascribed to the strong affinity of As(V) for the active adsorption sites. Overall, these results demonstrate that La-modified UiO-66 is a promising candidate for the simultaneous removal of As(V) and Cr(VI) in binary systems, particularly under conditions of elevated As(V) concentration.

In the actual polluted environment, the composite pollution system was usually composed of heavy metals and organic pollutants, especially Cr(VI) and chlorophenols often co-existed in industrial wastewater. In this study, a composite material consisting of multilayer graphene carbon shells coated with nZVI (gBC@nZVI) with various excellent properties was applied to deal with the composite system of Cr(VI) and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) coexisting in the wastewater, and the intrinsic mechanism for the simultaneous removal of heavy metals and organic pollutants was systematically investigated. The results showed that in the composite pollution system (Cr(VI) = 20 mg/L, 2,4-DCP = 15 mg/L), complete removal of Cr(VI) could be achieved in 60 min, while 2,4-DCP achieved 95.2 % removal, with the contribution of oxidative degradation being 76.4 %. It was found that during the efficient adsorption and reduction of Cr(VI) by gBC@nZVI, the generation of the metastable intermediate Cr(V) was verified by probe compounds, electron spin resonance and UV–visible spectroscopy, and further experiments demonstrated that the generation of •OH was closely related to Cr(V) and promoted the oxidative degradation of the coexisting 2,4-DCP. Quenching experiments with the addition of specific scavengers indicated that •OH was the active species directly dominating the oxidative degradation of 2,4-DCP, whereas Cr(V) was indirectly involved in the degradation of 2,4-DCP by promoting the generation of •OH. In addition, the increase of solution pH negatively affected the degradation of 2,4-DCP in the composite polluted system, mainly due to the hindered generation of •OH in the alkaline environment. This work provided theoretical support for the promising application of gBC@nZVI in real environments contaminated with a combination of Cr(VI) and chlorophenols.

Accelerated industrial expansion has led to significant wastewater pollution, with effluent containing the toxic heavy metal Cr(VI) posing severe threats to ecosystems and human health. The combination of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and membrane separation techniques offers promising solutions for pollutant removal. This study developed a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based composite membrane for effective Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solutions. This membrane was prepared through the in-situ synthesis of zinc-zirconium bimetallic MOFs on a PTFE membrane that had been modified with L-DOPA/PEI. The composite membrane demonstrated optimal Cr(VI) adsorption at a Zr:Zn molar ratio of 1:4, under conditions of 45 °C and pH = 2, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 335.1 mg/g. The adsorption process of Cr(VI) onto the composite membrane adhered to both the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. Thermodynamic analyses confirmed a spontaneous, endothermic process. The composite membrane, with its excellent adsorption capacity, filtration performance, and recyclability, stands out as a highly effective material for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. Furthermore, it addresses the issues of aggregation, difficulty in separation, and the recycling challenges associated with powder-like MOFs, demonstrating significant potential for practical applications.

In this work, FeS was anchored on mesoporous silica microspheres (SiO 2 200, SiO 2 500, and SiO 2 1000), and named as FeS@SiO 2 (i.e., FeS@SiO 2 200, FeS@SiO 2 500, FeS@SiO 2 1000), in adsorbing and detoxifying U(VI)/Cr(VI) from wastewater. Results demonstrated that FeS@SiO 2 exhibited higher efficiency towards U(VI)/Cr(VI), outperforming FeS and SiO 2 alone. Kinetic investigations revealed that adsorption of U(VI)/Cr(VI) followed pseudo–second–order model best, highlighting effective chemical interplay. XPS investigations demonstrated multi–species which was included FeS, Fe(II), S 2− and polysulfide (S 2 2− , S n 2− ) could be employed as reductants for U(VI)/Cr(VI) adsorption. The combination of SiO 2 and FeS offered an enhanced efficiency for U(VI)/Cr(VI), making these composites promising materials in water purification. Graphical

Herein, we reported a simple solvothermal and chemical oxidation method to synthesize a magnetic core–shell composite (Fe3O4@UiO-66@PANI) for Cr(VI) removal from wastewater. Due to the porosity and stability of UiO-66 and stability, high acid resistance, and multiple active (reducing and chelating) groups of polyaniline (PANI), Fe3O4@UiO-66@PANI exhibited excellent efficiency, regeneration, and reusability performance for Cr(VI) removal. Its maximum adsorption capacity and removal rate were 474.42 mg·g–1 and 99.90%, respectively. The effects of initial pH values, contact time, and initial Cr(VI) concentration on Cr(VI) removal were investigated. The fitted data showed that the adsorption process was consistent with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isothermal model. The study of the mechanism shows that the excellent efficiency of Fe3O4@UiO-66@PANI is due to the electrostatic adsorption and reduction of Cr(VI) and the chelation of Cr3+. The results demonstrate that Fe3O4@UiO-66@PANI is a promising adsorbent for the Cr(VI) removal.
