This study investigated the transformation of an agricultural byproduct, pomelo peel, into an environmental purifier by crosslinking assisted surface amination process and its use in wastewater treatment application. Surface morphology and textural analysis showed that the functionalized surface-amidated pomelo peel (SA-PP) attained a lamellar structure with an average pore size of 6.52 nm and a specific surface area of 7.82 m² g −1 . Zeta potential measurements confirmed that SA-PP exhibits a positive surface charge within a pH range of 3–11. This surface characteristic facilitated the effective adsorption of anionic dyes by SA-PP, including amaranth red ( Q e = 497.15 mg g −1 ), methyl orange ( Q e = 247.93 mg g −1 ), bright blue ( Q e = 231.53 mg g −1 ), and lemon yellow ( Q e = 116.77 mg g −1 ), as well as heavy metal ions like hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI), Q e = 193.17 mg g −1 ). Further investigations on the adsorption of amaranth red and Cr(VI) indicated that SA-PP achieved equilibrium after 30 min. The process followed the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models, indicating monolayer adsorption. The adsorption efficacy of SA-PP remained consistent across a wide range of pH levels. After five cycles, SA-PP was able to retain more than 60 % of its adsorption capacity, highlighting its potential as a sustainable, cost-effective, non-toxic, and biodegradable adsorbent for wastewater treatment applications.

Portable fluorescent film sensors offer a solution to the contamination issue in homogeneous sensor detection systems. However, their special structure leads to low sensitivity and a long response time, resulting in a significant scientific challenge limiting their development and application. In this work, we propose a dual design strategy to prepare highly sensitive film sensors for rapidly detecting Cr2O72–. Specifically, P(Fmoc-Osu)-SA hydrogel films were developed by integrating the biological macromolecule sodium alginate (SA) with the conjugated polymer poly(N-(9-Fluorenylmethoxycarbonyloxy)succinimide) (P(Fmoc-Osu)), using both mold and inkjet 3D printing methods. The “molecular wire effect” of the sensing unit P(Fmoc-Osu) and the water channel within the film substrate are responsible for the improved sensitivity and the reduced response time of this thin film sensor. P(Fmoc-Osu)-SA hydrogel films prepared by these two methods can rapidly detect Cr2O72– with limits of detection of 1.18 and 0.078 nM, respectively. Considering that 3D-printed hydrogel films can be tailored to different shapes according to detection needs, the P(Fmoc-Osu)-SA hydrogel films produced from this method were effectively applied in vegetable samples. This study provides an innovative and effective strategy for the development of biocompatible hydrogel sensors that offer the potential for determining trace amounts of Cr2O72– in agriculture.

In the study, the solid solubility limits of Cr 3+ in the CaAl 12-x Cr x O 19 phase and leachability of any Cr 6+ safety were investigated. Analytical tools and leaching experiments were used to investigate the Al 3+ substitution in hibonite (CaAl 12 O 19 ) structure by Cr 3+ . The results showed that at Al:Cr=9:3, all the generated phases were chrome-hibonite (Ca 1.06 Cr 2.87 Al 9.07 O 18.99 ) and were also supported by the XPS and Cr 6+ leaching experiments results. However, when proportion of Cr in system increases to Al:Cr=7:5, the primary phases are Ca 1.09 Cr 3.92 Al 8.01 O 18.98 and alumina-chrome solid solution (Al 0.77 Cr 1.22 O 3 ) along with a small amount of wuboraite solid-solution (CaAl 2±x Cr 2±x O 7 , a Cr 3+ phase) and chrome-hauyne (Ca 4 Al 6 CrO 16 , a Cr 6+ phase). At Al:Cr=7:5, distilled water and 0.1 mol/L HCl leach around 1.9 mg/L Cr 6+ , but HCl showed relatively faster leaching of Cr 6+ than water and below the Chinese national standard of waste disposal of 3 mg/L. The maximum solid-solubility limit of Cr 3+ in CaAl 12-x Cr x O 19 could be considered as x =3.9.

The problem of soil and water contamination caused by Cr(VI) discharged from the dyeing, electroplating, and metallurgical industries is becoming increasingly serious, posing a potentially great threat to the environment and public health. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a fast, efficient, and cost-effective adsorbent for remediating Cr-contaminated wastewater. In this work, MgAl-LDH/commercial-activated carbon nanocomposites (LDH-CACs) are prepared with hydrothermal. The effects of preparation and reaction conditions on the composite properties are first investigated, and then its adsorption behavior is thoroughly explored. Finally, a potential adsorption mechanism is proposed by several characterizations like SEM–EDS, XRD, FTIR, and XPS. The removal of Cr(VI) reaches 72.47% at optimal conditions, and the adsorption study demonstrates that LDH-CAC@1 has an extremely rapid adsorption rate and a maximum adsorption capacity of 116.7 mg/g. The primary removal mechanisms include adsorption-coupled reduction, ion exchange, surface precipitation, and electrostatic attraction. The reusability experiment illustrates that LDH-CAC@1 exhibits promising reusability. This study provides an effective adsorbent with a remarkably fast reaction, which has positive environmental significance for the treatment of Cr(VI) wastewater.

Cr(VI) is one of the most typical heavy metal contaminants and rapid detection of Cr(VI) is highly important in food control and public health. Herein, a core–shell Au@Pt nanozyme-based colorimetric assay was developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of Cr(VI). The monodispersed Au@Pt core–shell nanoparticles exhibited high peroxidase-mimicking activity and can catalyze colorless TMB into blue-colored oxidized oxTMB. After the addition of Cr(VI), the oxTMB molecules can be reduced into colorless TMB. The ultrathin Pt shell can prevent the Pt component from aggregation, thus improving the catalytic activity of Au@Pt nanozyme. These Au@Pt nanozyme-based Cr(VI) assays exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity and displayed satisfactory recoveries in practical samples. Our work highlights opportunities for the development of core–shell nanozymes with extensive applications in food safety, biomedicine, and environmental monitoring.

Nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) has been extensively applied in water pollution control. However, the reactivity of nZVI toward contaminants is mainly limited by its corrosion and agglomeration. In this study, the nZVI modified by sulfidation coupled with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) (C-S-nZVI) was synthesized and characterized by TEM and electrochemical techniques. Taking Cr(VI) as the contaminant, it was found that the sulfidation could couple with CMC modification to not only enhance the reactivity of nZVI toward Cr(VI), but also regulate the sedimentation activity and corrosion activity of nZVI in water. Particularly, the optimal k obs (0.0816 min −1 ) obtained by the C-S-nZVI one -0.16 (i.e., one-step sulfidation and its S/Fe molar ratio was 0.16) was approximately 27.2 times higher than that by the nZVI (0.0030 min −1 ). Moreover, based on the correlation analysis of the ternary activities, this study confirmed that the reactivity of C-S-nZVI toward Cr(VI) was negatively correlated with its sedimentation activity (slope = −0.7623, R = 0.59) and corrosion activity (slope = −0.0171, R = 0.56), respectively. XPS and TEM results further revealed that CMC could couple with iron sulfides (FeS x ) to enhance the mass transfer of Cr(VI) toward nZVI and subsequent electron transfer from Fe 0 core to out, ultimately improving the reduction of Cr(VI) by nZVI. Overall, this study introduced a new evaluation method based on the ternary activity of nZVI, providing theoretical support for the practical application of nZVI-based technology.

Ferrihydrite (Fh) can usually transform into phases with higher crystallinities. This may greatly alter Fh adsorption capacity for chromium ions, thereby affecting their immobilizations and fates. Foreign elements [e.g., lanthanum (La)] as impurities can become incorporated into Fh. Herein, the effect of La-substitution into Fh and the influence of the presence of Cr(VI) on Fh phase transformation and fate of Cr(VI) were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Electro-chemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and other test methods were employed to probe phase changes after the Fe(II)-induced La-substituted Fh (La-Fh) transformations. At pH 5.5, no neoformed phase was observed until 7 d for La-Fh or pure Fh at 1 mM Fe(II) aq, but all La-Fh systems underwent transformations at 5 mM Fe(II)aq. A low pH and Fe(II)aq level favored lepidocrocite (Lp) to form, whereas goethite (Gt) was the predominant phase rather than Lp as pH increased to 7.2 with higher level Fe(II)aq. However, the La-substitution inhibits the La-Fh transformation rate and path. This made 5 % La-Fh transformed to Lp after 30 d at pH 7.2 and 1 mM Fe(II)aq. The La-release was present to some extent during the transformation process. Either the inhibition to La-Fh transformation or the La-slow release favors the retention of early-adsorbed Cr(VI) on iron-mineral surface. The added Cr(VI) might promote the La-Fh transformation even under a lower-level Fe(II), primarily attributed to the rapid reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) by Fe(II), which produced more liable Fe(III) in addition to the Cr(III) that can improve the mineral conductivity, thereby enhancing the La-Fh transformation. Mechanisms responsible for the Fe(II)-induced La-Fh transformation companying the La slow-release are proposed to provide insights into the reduction and immobilization of Cr(VI) under anaerobic conditions, thus demonstrating that La-Fh is a promising material for application in Cr-contaminated site remediation.

The interfacial compatibility of heterojunction photocatalysts critically governs the interaction modes between constituent materials. Herein, a flower-like Bi-BDC-NH 2 /Ag 2 CO 3 heterostructure was fabricated via a simple ion-exchange solution method, serving as a robust photocatalyst for the efficient photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) in simulated wastewater under visible-light irradiation. Ag 2 CO 3 nanosheets were in-situ grown on the surface of three-dimensional Bi-BDC-NH 2 , forming an Ag 2 CO 3 -on-Bi-BDC-NH 2 type II heterojunction that establishes intimate interfacial contact, significantly accelerating the charge and mass transport dynamics. In comparison with pure Bi-BDC-NH 2 and Ag 2 CO 3 , the optimal Bi-BDC-NH 2 /Ag 2 CO 3 -50 (with a weight ratio of 0.5:1) exhibited dramatically enhanced photocatalytic activity, achieving 99% Cr(VI) reduction within 2 hours under visible light (>420 nm, 150 W xenon lamp). Mechanistic investigations, including energy band structure analysis, radical trapping experiments, and photoelectrochemical measurements, revealed that the heterojunction interface significantly promotes the separation and transfer of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. This work provides valuable insights into the rational design of MOF-based heterojunction photocatalysts and their applications in environmental remediation.

White pollution, excessive heavy metals, and fertilizer leaching have become key issues restricting the development of agriculture. In this work, we prepared multifunctional starch mulch film (SMF/MAP/FeS) by loading ferrous sulfide (FeS) and monoammonium phosphate (MAP) onto commercial starch mulch film using poly(vinyl alcohol) for bonding. The removal efficiencies of Pb(II)/Cr(VI) for SMF/MAP/FeS could reach 97% and 93% in the aqueous solution. The adsorption isotherm, thermodynamic, and kinetics studies indicated that the adsorption process was an endothermic multimolecular-layer chemisorption. The main removal mechanisms for Pb(II)/Cr(VI) of SMF/MAP/FeS were precipitation and redox reactions. In addition, SMF/MAP/FeS not only possessed great thermal insulation and moisturizing properties but also could realize the slow release of NH4+. Furthermore, the maximum release rate of NH4+ for SMF/MAP/FeS could reach 93.4% during Pb(II)/Cr(VI) removal. At the same time, SMF/MAP/FeS has a good degradability at 50 d. A pot experiment indicated that SMF/MAP/FeS had a detoxifying effect on the Pb(II)/Cr(VI)-contaminated soil to promote the growth of pakchoi. Therefore, this study not only solves the problem of plastic and heavy metal pollution but also realizes the slow release of nutrients.

In this paper, quaternized β-cyclodextrin–montmorillonite composite (QCD-MMT) was obtained and absorption properties of Cr(VI), methyl orange and p-nitrophenol were studied. QCD was prepared by 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). QCD-MMT was obtained by reaction between QCD and montmorillonite suspensions, which could be attributed to the montmorillonite cation ion exchange properties. β-CD cavities of this composite were expected to capture organic molecules through inclusion, while montmorillonite units acted as the adsorption sites for metals. QCD-MMT was characterized by FT-IR, elemental analysis, XRD, SEM-EDX, and TGA. Adsorptions of Cr(VI), methyl orange, and p-nitrophenol were highly dependent on adsorbent dose, initial concentration, temperature, contact time, and pH. Adsorption kinetics of Cr(VI), methyl orange, and p-nitrophenol followed the pseudo-second-order model. Meanwhile, adsorption of Cr(VI) fit better in the Freundlich model, inferring a multilayer adsorption, while the adsorption of methyl orange and p-nitrophenol fit better in Langmuir model, inferring a monolayer adsorption. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the adsorptions were all endothermic process and could be spontaneous at given temperature range, except for Cr(VI), of which adsorption should be at much higher temperature. Overall, QCD-MMT exhibited potential for practical applications in the treatment of both metal ions and organic pollutants.

Emerging Bi 2 S 3 -based nanotechnology has great potential in Cr(VI)-contaminated wastewater treatment . In this work, it was found for the first time that Bi 2 S 3 nanoparticles (BS-D) prepared from dual sulfur sources of L-cysteine and ammonium sulfide efficiently promoted Cr(VI) removal with excellent selectivity for simultaneous removal of Cr(VI) and Cu 2+ from aqueous solutions containing various co-existing ions (including Na + , K + , Ca 2+ , Zn 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cd 2+ , NO 3 – , SO 4 2− and Cl − ) at pH > 3, preferably at pH of 4.5. Besides, BS-D had stable performance for co-removal of Cr(VI) and Cu 2+ in five recycling tests. Kinetic and thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption of Cr(VI) or Cu 2+ by BS-D was a spontaneous endothermic process and conformed to pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorbed Cr(VI) ions were partially reduced to Cr(III), which were leached into the solution at pH ≤ 3, inhibiting the adsorption of Cu 2+ on BS-D and its promotional effect on Cr(VI) removal by BS-D. The mutual promotional effects between Cu 2+ and Cr(VI) during their co-removal by BS-D were ascribed to electrostatic attraction between HCrO 4 − and Cu 2+ and smaller pH variation in mixed Cr(VI)-Cu 2+ solutions. Finally, potential applications of BS-D were demonstrated by co-removal of Cr(VI) and Cu 2+ from real electroplating wastewater and contaminated groundwater. This work provided a promising BS-D adsorbent for Cr(VI)-contaminated wastewater treatment, and shed insight on the influence of Cu 2+ on the Cr(VI) removal by BS-D.

Sediment-associated Fe(II) is a critical reductant for immobilizing groundwater contaminants, such as Cr(VI). The reduction reactivity of sediment-associated Fe(II) is dependent on its binding environment and influenced by the biogeochemical transformation of other elements (i.e., C, N and Mn), challenging the description and prediction of the reactivity of Fe(II) in natural sediments. Here, anaerobic batch experiments were conducted to study the variation in sediment-associated Fe(II) reactivity toward Cr(VI) in natural sediments collected from an intensive agricultural area located in Guangxi, China, where nitrate is a common surface water and groundwater contaminant. Then, a process-based model was developed to describe the coupled biogeochemical processes of C, N, Mn, Fe, and Cr. In the process-based model, Cr(VI) reduction by sediment-associated Fe(II) was described using a previously developed multirate model, which categorized the reactive Fe(II) into three fractions based on their extractabilities in sodium acetate and HCl solutions. The experimental results showed that Fe(II) generation was inhibited by NO 3 - and/or NO 2 − . After NO 3 − and NO 2 − were exhausted, the Fe(II) content and its reduction rate toward Cr(VI) increased rapidly. As the Fe(II) content increased, the three reactive Fe(II) fractions exhibited approximately linear correlations with aqueous Fe(II) concentrations ( C F e 2 + ), which was probably driven by sorptive equilibrium and redox equilibrium between aqueous and solid phases. The model results indicated that the reaction rate constants of the three Fe(II) fractions ( k n ) significantly increased with incubation time, and log( k n ) correlated well with C F e 2 + [ log ( k 1 ) = 2.84 C F e 2 + − 0.17 , log ( k 2 ) = 5.90 C F e 2 + − 2.49 and log ( k 3 ) = 3.09 C F e 2 + − 3.37 ]. The numerical model developed in this study provides an applicable method to describe and predict Cr(VI) removal from groundwater under dynamic redox conditions .
