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

To develop a highly efficient adsorbent to remediate and remove hexavalent chromium ions (Cr(VI)) from polluted water, cellulose acetate (CA) and chitosan (CS), along with metal oxides (titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) and ferroferric oxide (Fe 3 O 4 )), and a zirconium-based metal-organic framework (UiO-66) were used to fabricate the composite porous nanofiber membranes through electrospinning. The adsorption performance, influencing factors, adsorption kinetics and isotherms of composite nanofiber membranes were comprehensively investigated. The multi-layer membrane with interpenetrating nanofibers and surface functional groups enhanced the natural physical adsorption and provided potential chemical sites. The thermal stability was improved by introducing TiO 2 and UiO-66. CA/CS/UiO-66 exhibited the highest adsorption capacity (118.81 mg g −1 ) and removal rate (60.76%), which were twice higher than those of the control. The correlation coefficients ( R 2 ) of all the composite nanofibers regressed by the Langmuir model were significantly higher than those by the Freundlich model. The pseudo-first-order kinetic curve of CA/CS composite nanofibers showed the highest R 2 (0.973), demonstrating that the whole adsorption process involved a combination of strong physical adsorption and weak chemical adsorption by the amino groups of CS. However, the R 2 values of the pseudo-second-order kinetic model increased after incorporating TiO 2 , Fe 3 O 4 , and UiO-66 into the CA/CS composite nanofiber membranes since an enhanced chemical reaction with Cr (VI) occured during the adsorption

The excessive discharge of Cr(VI) not only causes severe environmental pollution but also poses significant ecological risks. Thus, it is an urgent human demand and scientific challenge to use renewable biomass to prepare adsorbent in an eco-friendly and efficient way, effectively remove Cr(VI) pollutants, and achieve sustainable development. Herein, loofah, a cheap, strong toughness and 3D network structure, was selected as the substrate. Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was grafted onto the surface of loofah via electron beam radiation. Subsequently, two aminated loofah-based adsorbents, PLGD and PLGP, were synthesized through a ring-opening reaction with diethylenetriamine (DETA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI), respectively, followed by protonation. At 318.15 K, the maximum adsorption capacities of PLGD and PLGP for Cr(VI) were determined to be 162.04 and 94.12 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption behavior of Cr(VI) by PLGD and PLGP followed the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic model. The pHpzc values of PLGD and PLGP were 6.5 and 9.7, respectively. The potential mechanisms for Cr(VI) removal included electrostatic interactions, ion exchange, surface functional group complexation and reduction. This study provided a strategic approach for utilizing agricultural and forestry waste to develop functional adsorbents for the efficient removal of Cr(VI), and further enhanced the application potential of low-toxicity and cost-effective biosorbents in the elimination of heavy metal pollutants.

Degradable fluorescent film sensors are highly ideal for real-time outdoor detection of heavy metal ions and offer the advantage of preventing secondary contamination, aligning with the principle of sustainable development. In this work, we constructed a degradable fluorescent hydrogel for the specific detection of Cr(VI) ions, utilizing poly(1-pyrene butyric acid) (PPBA) as the sensing moiety and sodium alginate (SA) as the cross-linking substrate. The porous network structure of the PPBA-SA film provided enhanced ion transport channels and active sites, thereby reducing fluorescence response time and augmenting detection sensitivity. The PPBA-SA film exhibited rapid and selective recognition of Cr(VI) ions among a panel of 16 anions and 22 cations, achieving an impressive limit of detection of 1.99 nM. Moreover, we successfully applied this platform to detect Cr(VI) ions in four different vegetable samples. Notably, the PPBA bound with Cr(VI) ions could be effortlessly removed from the film, and the substrate underwent rapid degradation within 24 h, attaining a degradation rate of 72.4 %. This work provides an innovative and effective strategy for fabricating green and sustainable fluorescent sensors.

In this work, we synthesized core-shell NH 2 -UiO-66@UiO-67 via a solvothermal method to achieve controlled assembly of amino-modified UiO-66 and UiO-67 at micro and nano scale. NH 2 -UiO-66@UiO-67 exhibited notable visible light responsiveness and an increased specific surface area.In addition, it demonstrated outstanding performance in Cr(VI) removal, which can be attributed to the photocatalytic conversion of Cr(VI) into less toxic Cr(III), and the adjustable pores and large specific surface area facilitating Cr(III) adsorption. Notably, it exhibited a robust removal efficiency across a wide pH range of 2.0 to 10.0. Specifically, at pH = 2.0, the Cr(VI) solution with a concentration of 60 mg/L was completely removed within 140 min. The results show that the adsorption of core-shell NH 2 -UiO-66@UiO-67 meets the pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics and has the ability of photocatalytic reduction of Cr (VI).

With the development of electronics, electroplating, printing, and dyeing industries, environmental pollution caused by hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) has become increasingly prominent. Skin contact with Cr (VI) can cause allergies or genetic defects, and inhalation can cause cancer, which is a lasting danger to the environment and the human body. Developing effective strategies to monitor Cr(VI) in environmental water or industrial wastewater can evaluate the degree of water pollution and risk warning, thus helping to prevent the spread of Cr(VI) pollution, promote the protection of water resources and the ecological environment, and ensure human safety and sustainable development. On the basis of the regulation of dopamine, boron-doped zinc single-atom nanozymes (Zn/B-NC SAzymes) with three-dimensional nanoflower morphology were controlled in this work. The introduction of B in Zn/B-NC SAzymes and the high metal loading of Zn (6.5 wt%) led to the formation of more active sites, resulting in the material showing excellent enzyme-like activity. H 2 O 2 decomposed to generate superoxide radicals under the catalysis of Zn/B-NC SAzymes, which then oxidized the substrate 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to generate blue oxTMB. When Cr(VI) was introduced into the sensor system, the color of blue oxTMB is deepened, and the colorimetric method of Cr(VI) was constructed. The linear range is 0.2–40 μM, LOD is 59 nM, and the visual detection of Cr (VI) is performed with the aid of the smartphone. This work not only provides experimental and theoretical guidance for understanding the active centers of Zn-SAzymes and their catalytic processes, but also provides a promising and alternative detection strategy for the rapid and even visual on-site detection of Cr(VI) in aquatic environments, which is of great significance for the control of Cr(VI) pollution in the environment and industrial wastewater.

To improve the limited kinetics of alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), herein, a three-dimensional porous catalyst has been constructed based on the design concept of bi-directional electron modulation and chemical environment regulation of non-metallic and oxophilic transition metal elements with obvious differences in electronegativity on hybrid carbon layer-coated iridium/iridium oxide heterostructure. The Ir/IrO 2 @(N,S)-C possesses significantly superior catalytic activity and electrochemical stability towards alkaline HER with an overpotential of 150 mV reaching 50 mA cm −2 from LSV curve and an increment of 63 mV after 200 h of degradation test at 10 mA cm −2 in 1 M KOH, much lower than 277 mV and an elevation of 116 mV just after 25 h in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 . The strongly electronegative non-metallic elements effectively modulate the electronic states of iridium/iridium oxide, the ratio of metallic states, and the oxophilic environment of the carbon layer, which enables the catalyst surface favorable for the moderate adsorption of water molecules and intermediates. The material engineering strategy offers a new insight for the development of high-performance catalysts towards water electrolysis based on homologous active species.

The immobilization of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with high efficiency, good reproducibility and stability for chiral separation has attracted much attention in the medicinal field. BSA was immobilized into MIL-101(Cr) by three ways for efficient chiral separation in this research. MIL-101(Cr)@BSA was firstly prepared by adsorption, NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr) ⊂ BSA by direct bonding, and NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr) ⊂ Glu ⊂ BSA by glutaraldehyde crosslinking bonding. Compared to the other two materials, NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr) ⊂ BSA as a new enantioselective separator, with the most BSA loading rate of 437.6 mg g −1 exhibited excellent chiral separation performances and succeeded in realizing a complete chiral separation of racemic 1–phenylethanol within 14 s. It was found that the NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr) ⊂ BSA was more strongly bound to R -1-phenylethanol and the ee value could reach 100 % when the material was added in three batches. The different interactions between BSA and racemates mainly including hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interaction and π-π interaction were revealed by the molecular docking studies, especially hydrogen bonding, accounting for the observed selective chiral recognition capacity of racemic 1–phenylethanol of NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr) ⊂ BSA. Moreover, both of NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr) ⊂ BSA and NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr) ⊂ Glu ⊂ BSA showed excellent stability and reusability. This combination of theory and experiment provided a clearer basis for other researchers to have different requirements for protein immobilization, and provided new ideas and methods for the development of chiral selectors.

Inorganic clays modified magnetic chitosan adsorbent (ICMMCA) was successfully prepared and systematically characterized in chemical structure and morphology. Effect of variables including initial pH and concentration of Cr(VI) in the solution, adsorption time, adsorption temperature and coexisting ions on the performance of ICMMCA in Cr(VI) removal from water were evaluated. Furthermore, the kinetic and thermodynamic studies were conducted to elucidate the adsorption mechanisms and thermodynamic characteristics of the adsorption process. The results demonstrated that the maximum Cr(VI) adsorption capacity of 94.67 mg/g could be achieved when the adsorbent loading was 1 g/L, the initial concentration of Cr(VI) was 100 mg/L, the adsorption time was 60 min and solution pH was at 5. The adsorption data could be well fitted by the Freundlich isotherm model. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. The adsorption process could be described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

The interfacial characteristics of platinum (Pt) metal catalysts can be systematically regulated by interacting them with electropositive metals, leading to synergistic interactions for extensive catalytic applications. In this study, an evenly dispersed polyol-synthesized iron (Fe)-promoted Pt bimetallic nanoparticle (BNPs) system was embedded in MIL-101(Cr). The PtFe 2 @MIL-101(Cr) catalyst unveiled remarkable activity (86%) and selectivity (89%) for the superior hydrogenation of the targeted C O bond of cinnamaldehyde (CAL). The exceptional hydrogenation performance can be credited to the interplay of the geometric and electronic properties arising from charge shuttling between Fe and Pt within the homogenously distributed Pt–Fe bimetallic nanoparticle system. The experimental results indicate enhanced valence electrons in the Pt d-band through the mutual synergetic interface between the Pt and Fe BNPs. Consequently, these Fe–Pt sites functioned as interfacial electrophilic and nucleophilic (Lewis acid-base) sites, enhancing H 2 activation and facilitating C O bond conversion to yield unsaturated cinnamal alcohols (COL). Additionally, the narrow pores of MIL-101(Cr) encapsulating the Pt–Fe BNPs induced steric hindrance, allowing only C O bond hydrogenation. Furthermore, the PtFe 2 @MIL-101(Cr) catalyst maintained its optimal hydrogenation performance over five cycles, demonstrating no substantial loss in either CAL conversion or COL yield, thus endorsing the universal practical applicability of the catalyst.

A novel composite material, Poly(IL-AA)@MIL-101(Cr), combining metal-organic framework, polymeric ionic liquid and acrylic acid, was synthesized for the selective and efficient adsorption of rare earths europium(III) (Eu 3+ ). Characterization of the materials was carried out using techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The results demonstrate successful incorporation of the polymeric ionic liquid onto the material surface while preserving the crystal structure and morphology of MIL-101(Cr). Adsorption experiments were conducted to explore parameters including solution pH, initial Eu 3+ concentration, and duration, with comprehensive analyses of adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and mechanisms. Findings reveal that Poly(IL1-AA)@MIL-101(Cr), Poly(IL3-AA)@MIL-101(Cr), and Poly(IL5-AA)@MIL-101(Cr) achieve adsorption equilibrium for Eu 3+ at approximately 9 h with an equilibrium pH of 6.2. The adsorption of Eu 3+ predominantly follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm adsorption model. Moreover, the prepared composite material exhibits superior adsorption selectivity for Eu 3+ over other metal ions in the mixture (K + , Mg 2+ , Ni 2+ , Co 2+ , Zn 2+ , La 3+ , and Nd 3+ ). Even after five adsorption-desorption cycles, the composite material maintains satisfactory adsorption performance.
