The porous material MOF-199 with a large specific surface area is widely used in the field of adsorption, but the single MOF material is not stable enough and the adsorption performance needs to be improved, so MOFs materials are often modified by combining with other materials. The composite material Fe 3 O 4 -ATP/MOF-199 (FAM) was prepared by solvothermal method combined with MOF-199, attapulgite (ATP) and Fe 3 O 4 . It was used in the static adsorption experiment of model oil to study the desulfurization performance, including the influence of external conditions such as adsorption time, temperature and the mass ratio of model oil to adsorbent on adsorption capacity. The structure and morphology of the adsorbent were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, VSM and BET. The experimental results show that the doping of attapulgite reduces the particle size of magnetic MOF-199 and makes the adsorbate closer to the active center of the adsorbent so as to improve the adsorption efficiency.

Attapulgite (AT) nanorods are generally regarded as one-dimensional materials and have been widely used in many fields. Two-dimensional (2D) AT nanomaterials have remained quite rare due to the difficulty of assembling from one-dimensional nanorods. Herein, we have prepared a novel type of single-layered 2D palmate AT nanosheets (AT-NS) with uniform size by a solvothermal synthesis process. The morphology and structure of the obtained 2D nanosheets were characterized by SEM, TEM, AFM, XRD, FTIR, and XPS. It was found that the AT nanosheets have a mean thickness in the range of 30–50 nm, and the length and width are in the range of 30 nm-2 μm. The structure evolution from AT nanorods to nanosheets were systematically studied and revealed. It was shown that the amination of AT and the introduction of trivalent iron ions (Fe 3+ ) ions into the AT materials play key roles in the formation of AT-NS. The AT nanorods are connected each other by the AT-NH 2 groups coupling with the Fe 3+ ions on the AT surface. More importantly, the Fe 3+ substitute the Al 3+ , Mg 2+ in AT mainly along the (1 1 0) planes. Therefore, the coordination of trivalent iron ions with amino groups occurs on the AT (1 1 0) plane. As a result, multiple nanorods are connected side by side to form the 2D nanosheets in a palmate shape. It is believed that the special morphology and structure of the 2D AT-NS material may bring some outstanding performance, which makes it have potential important application such as the demulsification of crude oil-in-water emulsion. In addition, the confined 2D assembling methodology offers us a new way to design and prepare novel materials with 2D structure.

In this study, the CuO@ATT/AC catalyst was designed and synthesized by a simple process of immersion–doping–calcination to boost the catalytic performance toward peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and remove sulfadiazine (SDZ). The results of optimized preparation experiments indicated that the doping of the materials with AC markedly enhanced the activation of PMS, demonstrating not only superior catalytic performance but also a reduction in the leaching of Cu. The CuO@ATT/AC/PMS system achieved 96.5% SDZ removal within 60 min with only 0.03 mg/L of Cu leaching. In addition, the removal efficiency of SDZ reached above 90% across a wide pH range of 5–9 and operating temperature (25–35 °C). CuO@ATT/AC demonstrated exceptional stability and reusability, achieving a 95% removal rate for SDZ after five cycles. Furthermore, both radical and nonradical species were implicated in the degradation of SDZ. •OH, SO4•–, and 1O2 were identified as the primary reactive species involved in the system. This study presents an environmentally friendly and cost-effective composite catalyst for the degradation and elimination of organic contaminants in water.

Molds and mycotoxins pose severe threats to health. Bacillomycin D (BD) can effectively inhibit mold growth. Attapulgite (ATP) can provide a good carrier for antimicrobial agents. Natural ATP was acid-modified to obtain H-ATP. It was used to load BD to obtain a novel composite material (H-ATP-BD). The results showed H-ATP had better adsorption performance than ATP. BD was adsorbed up to 93.13 % by adding 30 mg H-ATP and stirring at 40 ℃ for 120 min. Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), size and zeta potential, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results confirmed successful loading of BD onto H-ATP. The composite showed good inhibition of Aspergillus and adding 0.6 % H-ATP-BD composite was effective in removing 89.06 % of aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ) at 50 °C. Model fitting indicated that AFB 1 removal was a spontaneous exothermic reaction. This research will lay the foundation for the development of efficient and green antimicrobial and toxin-reducing materials.

BACKGROUND Arsenic contamination can exert severe detrimental effects on the ecological environment and human health. It can cause acute or chronic poisoning, resulting in cell distortion or cancer when humans come into contact with or consume arsenic-containing water. Adsorption technology is one of the effective methods for arsenic removal. In this study, using attapulgite (ATP) as a support for bimetallic iron–manganese oxides, a series of adsorbents (Fe-Mn/ATP) with different manganese-to-iron molar ratios were prepared via the coprecipitation method. Scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping, X-ray diffraction and zeta potential measurements were used to analyze the structure and properties of Fe-Mn/ATP. In addition, the adsorption performance of the material for arsenic ions was investigated by static adsorption and dynamic adsorption experiments. RESULTS A novel Fe-Mn/ATP adsorbent was prepared using ATP as the raw material and manganese-to-iron molar ratio was 1:3 by coprecipitation at 60 °C for 1 h. The adsorption efficiency of arsenic ions was optimal at an Fe-Mn/ATP dosage of 2 g L −1 , pH 4 and a contact time of 10 min, reaching a maximum adsorption capacity of 38.27 mg g −1 at room temperature. The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm adsorption model, indicating that arsenic ion adsorption by Fe-Mn/ATP was mainly monolayer chemical adsorption. Furthermore, Fe-Mn/ATP showed a removal rate for arsenic ions of over 80% after four cycles of regeneration, revealing a great potential for practical application. CONCLUSION This study offers a promising Fe-Mn/ATP adsorbent for removal of arsenic ions from wastewater. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

Nanofiber membranes are distinguished for their high porosity and interconnected pore structures . However, their separation application and performances are affected by irregular pore structures which are formed by the randomly packing of nanofibers. Herein, we report a facile approach to produce nanofiber membranes with oriented channels, narrow pore size, and low tortuosity. The membranes show a bi-layered structure where magnetic attapulgite (mATP) nanofiber layers are directly supported on macroporous Al 2 O 3 substrates. The mATP layers are prepared by drop-coating suspensions on top of the substrates pre-filled with water, and the ordered pore structures are formed at the presence of a magnetic field. Compared with the unordered membranes, average pore size of the ordered membranes reduces from 0.45 to 0.28 μm, with the water permeance increase from 1007 to 1121 L m −2 h −1 ·bar −1 . Moreover, the stationary flux of ordered membranes increase by 59% with the retention to oil-in-water emulsion increase from 98.7% to 99.2%. Analysis of membrane fouling using the Hermia model shows that the ordered membrane can reduce membrane blocking and thus facilitate membrane cleaning and restore of separation performance.

Attapulgite (ATP) is a type of crystalloid hydrous magnesium-aluminum silicate mineral with natural one-dimensional (1D) fibrous morphology. In this study, the authors investigated the optical and mechanical performances of ATP nanorods in silicone oil under an electric field. It was observed that the optical transmittance of ATP suspensions decreased rapidly under the low electric field, using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The results of optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated that the electromigration of ATP nanorods was the major cause of such an aberrant optical phenomenon. Further, the electrorheological (ER) response of the samples was measured by the height-controlled method. The change trend of the normal force was illustrated by the dynamic assembly behavior of ATP in the applied electric field. This work provided intuitive evidence for an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of ER fluids containing 1D dielectric materials.

To enhance the oil–water separation performance and stability of melamine sponge (MS), stearic acid-grafted attapulgite (SA-g-OATP) was synthesized via silanization and amidation grafting. The hydrophobic sponge (MS-POS) was fabricated by dip-coating MS in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) solution containing SA-g-OATP. Characterization confirmed a grafting rate of 20.73%. The synergy between SA-g-OATP and PDMS constructed a hierarchical “micron skeleton-nanoparticle” rough structure. The optimal sample, MS-POS1-1, exhibited superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 159.34° and achieved high adsorption capacities for oils and solvents, reaching 112.33 g/g for palm oil. In gravity-driven tests, it showed separation efficiencies above 98.34% for oil–water mixtures and effectively separated water-in-oil emulsions. The sponge demonstrated robust stability, retaining hydrophobicity after 40 cycles of tape-peeling or sandpaper abrasion, and withstanding prolonged immersion in pH 2–12 solutions. The adsorption capacity remained above 89.70% after 20 consecutive adsorption-extrusion cycles. Developed from low-cost materials via a simple process, MS-POS exhibits high adsorption capacity, excellent selectivity, and robust stability, showing significant potential for oily wastewater remediation.

A complex coacervation process using water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) double emulsions stabilized by polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and attapulgite (ATP) is developed to fabricate microcapsules co-encapsulating water, fertilizers (urea and diammonium phosphate, DAP), and pesticide (diquat dibromide, DQDB), termed WFP microcapsules. The encapsulation efficiencies reach ∼73% (urea), ∼82% (DAP), and ∼58% (diquat dibromide). In sand release tests, the WFP microcapsules exhibit excellent slow-release performance: on day 1, only ∼6.9% of nitrogen, ∼8.6% of phosphorus, and ∼10.3% of diquat dibromide are released. In contrast, untreated reagents release >68% of nitrogen, >94% of phosphorus, and 30% of diquat dibromide over the same period. These results demonstrate that PVA/ATP microcapsules offer a promising integrated platform for water-fertilizer-pesticide delivery with significantly enhanced utilization efficiency.

Aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ) in peanut meal poses a significant risk to human and animal health, as well as to food safety and the feed industry. However, none of the detoxification technologies demonstrate significant potential for industrial applications in terms of efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and safety for detoxifying AFB 1 in peanut meals. To address this challenge, this study proposes a novel detoxifier by integrating attapulgite (ATP), a low-cost AFB 1 adsorbent, with laccase, an effective enzyme for AFB 1 degradation. By optimization of the synthesis conditions, including the initial laccase activity and volume, reaction temperature and time, as well as the pH of the buffer system, the modified ATP-supported laccase (MATP-La) with the highest loading capacity and enzymatic activity has been successfully developed. Stability experiments revealed that the immobilized laccase considerably improved the enzymatic stability compared to free laccase. The detoxification performance of MATP-La was evaluated across a broad range of AFB 1 concentrations. Results showed that the synergistic effect between MATP adsorption and laccase-facilitated degradation enabled MATP-La to achieve excellent detoxification efficiency. Specifically, adding only 0.1% of MATP-La to contaminated peanut meal resulted in over 90% AFB 1 detoxification within 24 h. Additionally, cytotoxicity experiments demonstrated the safety of MATP-La. In summary, this study not only offers a novel and practical approach for detoxifying AFB 1 from feeds but also effectively enhances the application potential of these materials.

Firstly, the surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride monohydrate (HMCM) were intercalated into attapulgite (AP) to obtain CTAB-AP and HMCM-AP complexes, respectively, and then pesticide dinotefuran (DIN) was introduced into the complexes to prepare DIN/CTAB-AP (HMCM-AP) hybrids, finally the hybrids was added into N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) solution to obtain DIN/CTAB-AP(HMCM-AP)/PNIPAM hydrogels through the free radical polymerization. Their structures were systematically characterized by XRD, FTIR, TGA , SEM and BET. The effect of hybrids content, crosslinker concentration and pH on the hydrogel was investigated and analyzed. The existence of DIN and surfactant molecules in the hydrogels was confirmed. Fabrication mechanism of DIN hydrogels was put forward. Release behaviors of the hydrogels were investigated in different release mediums and temperatures. For DIN/CTAB-AP/PNIPAM, DIN release amount increased from 79.5 % at 20°C to 97.7 % at 30°C. For DIN/CTAB-AP/PNIPAM and DIN/HMCM-AP/PNIPAM ( p = 4, 9.3) hydrogels, the release rates are much slower in pH= 5.0 than pH= 9.0. The release behaviors were well fitted by pseudo second-order and Ritger-Peppas models. Bioassays revealed extended efficacy against aphids (73 % mortality on third day for the third inoculation), suggesting a long duration and control effect of the hydrogels on the pest compared to the DIN water dispersible granules. This study provided a new method to improve the utilization efficiency of pesticide, and the hydrogel can be potentially used as a pesticide delivery system.

Phosphorus removal is critical for effective water treatment and the prevention of eutrophication. This study focuses on the modification of attapulgite, an economical clay material, with zirconium (Zr@ATP) to enhance its phosphorus adsorption capacity. Zr@ATP was comprehensively characterized, and its phosphorus-removal mechanisms were investigated. Additionally, its performance in water treatment was evaluated using a lake water-sediment system. Zr@ATP exhibited a high surface area of 329.29 m2/g. The static adsorption experiments revealed that Zr@ATP achieved a phosphorus-removal efficiency of 95.8% at an adsorbent dosage of 5 g/L. Kinetic studies indicated that the adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order model, with the primary mechanism being chemisorption via ion exchange. Application of Zr@ATP in a lake water-sediment system resulted in an 83.6% reduction in total phosphorus. The chlorophyll concentration significantly decreased from 32.33 μg/L to 8.56 μg/L, and the algal density decreased by 84.6%, effectively inhibiting algal growth. These results suggest that Zr@ATP is a promising adsorbent for sustainable phosphorus removal and eutrophication control in aquatic environments.
