The occurrence of numerous antibiotics, such as sulfonamides (SAs), in environmental water has recently heightened concerns in consideration of their potential threat to human health and aquatic ecosystems. The removal of pharmaceuticals by adsorption comprises some of the most promising techniques because of their easy regeneration, low cost, and high efficiency. In this work, MIL-101(Cr)@GO, with a high surface area, was synthesized. Its adsorption properties toward three SAs were examined in batch adsorption experiments to probe the underlying factors of adsorption behavior and the mechanism for the first time. The pronounced factors that influenced the adsorption and removal process were investigated. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms were studied in order to characterize the operation. The adsorption kinetics demonstrated that the adsorption process would match the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Furthermore, the adsorption was spontaneous, entropy was decreased, and the process was exothermic, and the equilibrium data was more appropriate described by the Freundlich isotherm model. Moreover, the adsorption–desorption of MIL-101(Cr)@GO could be consecutively cycled at least five times. MIL-101(Cr)@GO exhibited remarkable removal efficiency compared to MIL-100(Fe), MIL-101(Cr), and other adsorbents. These results demonstrated that MIL-101(Cr)@GO would be a promising adsorbent for the removal of sulfonamides from water samples and even for environmental protection.

The rare-earth elements (La, Ce, and Y)-modified SiO2 films for effective Cr(VI) removal from electroplating effluent were synthesized by a convenient sol–gel method successfully. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive system, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were applied to characterize their physicochemical properties. The adsorption isotherms showed that the adsorption capacity of SiO2 modified by La3+ (64.43 mg g–1) is the best, followed by Ce3+ (53.45 mg g–1) and Y3+ (47.83 mg g–1) because of the different ion-exchange capacities of La/Ce/Y–(OH), whereas that of SiO2 film without modification is only 38.54 mg g–1. Their adsorption processes could be well depicted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The thermodynamics study showed that the adsorption process of the La/SiO2 film is spontaneous. The adsorption mechanism includes the ion exchange and electrostatic effect. Furthermore, the conversion of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) during the in situ reduction process was verified by both macro (optical photographs) and micro (FT-IR and XPS) levels. Importantly, the La/SiO2 film showed high adsorption selectivity and high removal efficiency of 97.4% toward Cr(VI) from initial concentration of 41.7 mg L–1 to residual concentration of 1.1 mg L–1 in the real electroplating effluent, indicating its potential industrial value for pretreatment of heavy metal wastewater.

In this work, the coagulation mechanism of the cellulose/metal nanohybrids and the binding mode with Cr (VI) are deeply described. Nanohybrids with 3D porous networks were prepared from cellulose/Fe 2 O 3 -SO 3 H solutions through a simple one-step coagulation process in NaCl aqueous solutions. The structure and properties of nanohybrids were characterized by SEM, EDS, XRD, FTIR, and XPS. The cellulose/metal nanohybrids have a langmuir maximum adsorption capacity of 11.46 mg/g. The dissolved metal nanoparticles could form strong hydrogen bonding with cellulose by breaking the intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the polymer molecules. The porous networks of cellulose/metal nanohybrids provided multiple adsorption sites for Cr 2 O 7 2− anion through Fe O … Cr interactions. The cooperation between cellulose and Fe 2 O 3 -SO 3 H nanoparticles makes the hybrids exhibiting a satisfactory selectivity and affinity for Cr (VI). The cellulose/metal nanohybrids selectively interacted with Cr 2 O 7 2− via Fe atom from Fe 2 O 3 and oxygen atom from SO 3 − groups. The Cr (VI) adsorption occurred via a two-step process, the first of them was the initial adsorption of Cr 2 O 7 2− on cellulose/metal nanohybrids surface, followed by the rearrangement of Cr 2 O 7 2− molecules and the consecutive growth of Cr 2 O 7 2− aggregate layers.

For the purpose of establishing a simple route to prepare a metal-semiconductor hybrid catalyst efficiently and reduce its cost through precise doping noble metals. In this study, ultra-trace silver doped TiO2photocatalysts were fabricated via a “green” ultrasonic impregnation-assisted photoreduction strategy in an ethanol system, and its photocatalytic performance was systematically investigated by utilizing Cr(VI) as the model contaminant. A schottky energy barrier was constructed in Ag@TiO2, which served as a recombination center and possessed superior photocatalytic activity for Cr(VI) reduction. The obtained catalysts exhibited a significante−/h+separation efficiency which directly led to an obvious photocatalytic property enhancement. Then, the resultant Ag@TiO2(0.06 wt %, 30 min irradiation) showed about 2.5 times the activity as that of commercial P25 NPs for Cr(VI) degradation. Moreover, after five cycles, it still maintained considerably high catalytic ability (62%). This work provides a deep insight into preparation techniques of metal-semiconductor photocatalyst and broadens their application prospect.Keywords:Ag@TiO2;Cr(VI) reduction;in-situ photoreduction;ultrasonic impregnation;ultra-trace silver

In sharp contrast to conventional photosensitization methods in which the organic pigments were often adsorbed, herein we present a study on natural vegetable pigment inserted TiO2aerogel nanocomposites and we directly use red cabbage anthocyanin (RCP) as a structure-directing agent. It was found that pure TiO2aerogel nanocomposite did not exhibit any meaningful activity for photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI). However, the photocatalytic reduction activity was greatly improved by the RCP inserted TiO2aerogel nanocomposites under visible-light irradiation, which was approximately 2- and 12.3-fold higher than that of TiO2aerogel conventionally photosensitized by RCP and pure TiO2aerogel nanocomposites, respectively. It also exhibited good stability and could be reused at least three times without losing a significant amount of its activity.Keywords:Red cabbage pigment;anthocyanin;TiO2aerogel;photocatalytic activity

A novel amino-functionalized vermiculite (AVT)-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (AVT-nZVI) was successfully synthesized for Cr(VI) removal from simulated electroplating rinse wastewater. Since the agglomeration and oxidation of nZVI could be weakened and the reaction rate between Cr(VI) and nZVI could be enhanced for the novel AVT-nZVI, an efficient Cr(VI) removal could be achieved. The experimental results showed that 100% of Cr(VI) removal was obtained with AVT-nZVI, whereas only 87.5% was achieved by nZVI after reacting for 60 min with 20.0 mg L −1 Cr(VI) (pH = 5.0). After four cycles, the removal efficiency of Cr(VI) by AVT-nZVI still maintained at above 70%, suggesting that AVT-nZVI exhibited a good performance of reusability. The stability of AVT-nZVI particles was better than nZVI, which was confirmed by the steady-state polarization measurements. Furthermore, the removal of Cr(VI) by AVT-nZVI was proved to be in accordance with the pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics and Langmuir model. Based on the experiments and characterization, the reaction mechanism of Cr(VI) removal by AVT-nZVI was clarified. The protonated amino groups (-NH 3 + ) on the AVT promoted negative Cr(VI) species to be adsorbed on AVT-nZVI surface. Besides, Cr(VI) was reduced by Fe (0) to Cr(III), which was eventually adsorbed on the surface of AVT-nZVI particles as the Cr(III)-Fe(III) co-precipitates.

Silica-coated magnetite (Fe3O4@SiO2) nanoparticles functionalized with amino, imino and sulfonic groups (Fe3O4@SiO2–mPD/SP) were successfully synthesized via a facile chemical oxidative polymerization of m-phenylenediamine (mPD) and m-sulfophenylenediamine-4-sulfonic acid (SP) monomers, and utilized for selective removal of Pb(II) and Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. It was revealed by the characterizations that the polymers formed on Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles were the true copolymers with a mPD–SP unit, rather than a mixture of mPD and SP homopolymers. Fe3O4@SiO2–mPD/SP nanocomposites could be easily separated from aqueous solutions within 30 s. The maximum adsorption capacities of Pb(II) (83.23 mg g−1) and Cr(VI) (119.06 mg g−1) on Fe3O4@SiO2–mPD/SP nanocomposites were obtained at the mPD/SP molar ratios of 95 : 5 and 50 : 50, respectively. Moreover, satisfactory selective removal of Pb(II) and Cr(VI) from their mixtures with Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions were exhibited by the Fe3O4@SiO2–mPD/SP (95 : 5) and Fe3O4@SiO2–mPD/SP (50 : 50), respectively. The Pb(II) adsorption equilibrium was reached within 5 min by Fe3O4@SiO2–mPD/SP (95 : 5). The adsorption data of Pb(II) and Cr(VI) were both fitted well to the Freundlich isotherm and followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption mechanism of Pb(II) and Cr(VI) on Fe3O4@SiO2–mPD/SP nanocomposites included five processes, namely: ion-exchange, complexation adsorption, reduction reaction, electrostatic attraction and physical adsorption. The enhanced adsorption performance of nanoparticle-based magnetic adsorbents for selective removal of heavy metal ions can be achieved with such a copolymerization strategy.

The simultaneous adsorption of phenol and Cr(VI) from aqueous solution onto this activated carbon/chitosan composite was investigated. This composite almost removes phenol and Cr(VI) simultaneously in a pH range of 2–5. The removals of phenol and Cr(VI) reached up to 95% when phenol and Cr(VI) concentrations were less than 50 mg/L and 200 mg/L, respectively. The presence of phenol reduced Cr(VI) adsorption, while the presence of Cr(VI) had no evident effect on phenol adsorption. The adsorption for both Cr(VI) and phenol followed pseudo-second-order kinetics in single or mixedsystems. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 33: 814–823, 2014

Porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have great potential as high-effective adsorbents for water treatment. However, poor separability restricts their practical application. To overcome the drawback, both MIL-101(Cr)/sodium alginate (MIL-101(Cr)/SA) and MIL-101(Cr)/chitosan (MIL-101(Cr)/CS) composite beads were prepared and characterized. Adsorption of three selected pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) (benzoic acid (BEN), ibuprofen (IBU) and ketoprofen (KET)) onto the two composite beads was investigated and compared with pristine SA and CS beads. Kinetic plots, pH dependence, isotherm data, and influences of ionic strength were reported. The MIL-101(Cr)/CS beads exhibit much higher adsorption capacity than SA, CS and MIL-101(Cr)/SA, and the adsorption amounts of three PPCPs onto MIL-101(Cr)/CS follow the order of KET > IBU > BEN. The adsorption amounts of the three PPCPs on the MIL-101(Cr)/CS increased quickly during the first 60 min of contact time and then achieved the adsorption equilibrium after ∼180 min. Not only the protonated amine groups but also the Cr center of the adsorbents exerted electrostatic attraction with the deprotonated carboxyl groups of contaminants, as elucidated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Based on the adsorption isotherms and π-energy analysis of three PPCPs, π-π interaction of aromatic groups between adsorbents and contaminants also contributed to the adsorption. The MIL-101(Cr)/CS beads exhibited good regenerability over several repeated adsorption/desorption cycles. Overall, this study is believed to enlarge the application of MOFs on the removal of emerging contaminants from waters.

The performances of rayon (RGF) and polyacrylonitrile (PGF) based graphite felts as electrodes are compared in the iron-chromium redox flow battery (ICRFB). The essential differences in structure between RGF and PGF are also characterized in this study. The results show that the RGF electrode displays excellent electrochemical performance for negative redox couple (Cr 3+ /Cr 2+ ), resulting in the cell with higher charge efficiency and slower capacity decay. However, due to the high degree of graphitization and electrochemical activity for positive redox couple (Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ ) in PGF, the cell using PGF has higher voltage efficiency and energy efficiency, as well as lower area surface resistance than the cell with RGF. The fundamental difference between RGF and PGF is the crystallites structure in radial direction and basal plane of the fiber. PGF with the core-rim structure has better graphitization stacked in radial direction of the fiber. Further, PGF has more defective carbons exposed in the basal planes, while the surface of RGF exhibits a higher concentration of oxygen functional groups. The role of catalysts in the ICRFB has also been studied by introducing bismuth (Bi) into RGF and PGF used as negative electrodes. The electrocatalytic activities of RGF and PGF before and after modification with Bi are investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Bismuth deposition on the negative electrode is found to improve the negative reaction in ICRFB.

Green octahedral crystals of MIL-101(Cr) were synthesized and used for the determination of Pb2+ at the trace level by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) because of their good adsorption capability for Pb2+. The synthesized MIL-101(Cr) was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Parameters affecting the electrochemical process, such as the pH of the electrolyte solution, the volume of the MIL-101(Cr) suspension, the potential and the time for accumulation, were investigated in detail. Under optimal conditions, the electrochemical sensor had a linear response over the concentration range of 1.0 × 10−9 to 1.0 × 10−6 mol L−1 (R2 = 0.999) with a detection limit of 5.0 × 10−10 mol L−1 (S/N = 3). The method was successfully applied to the determination in real samples and good recoveries are obtained from different spiked samples.

Algae as an abundant natural biomass, more attention has been paid to explore its potential application in environmental pollutants treatment. This work prepared the algae-TiO 2 /Ag bionano hybrid material by loading algae cells on the ultrafine TiO 2 /Ag chitosan hybrid nanofiber mat. For the first time, the synergistic photocatalytic effect of fresh algae and TiO 2 /Ag nanomaterial was investigated by removal of Cr(VI). The addition of algae significantly improved the photo-removal of Cr(VI) in the system with TiO 2 /Ag hybrid nanomaterial under visible light irradiation. Meanwhile, the photocatalytic mechanism was studied. The photogenerated reactive oxygen species were quantified and the addition of algae apparently decreased the yields of OH to 31.0 μM, while improved the yields of 1 O 2 and O 2 − in the reaction system with TiO 2 /Ag hybrid nanofiber mats. The change of superoxide dismutase activity and malondialdehyde content in algae indicated that TiO 2 /Ag could impose oxidative stress and cause lipid peroxidation in algae cells. During the course of irradiation, algae released substances could act as scavenger for holes, thus inhibited the recombination of hole/electron and enhanced the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) by electrons on TiO 2 surface. Algae was simultaneously photodegraded in the system and the resulting O 2 − , organic free radicals could promote the reduction of Cr(VI). This functional hybrid nanofiber mat was easily recovered and maintained a great photocatalytic activity on the five successive cycles. This algae-photocatalyst hybrid material has promising applications potential in heavy metal removal and organic pollutants treatment.
