CeO 2 with different morphologies (nanoparticles/NP, nanorods/NR, nanocubes/NC, nano-octahedra/NO) are synthesized and decorated on BiOI nanoplates substrates to form CeO 2 @BiOI composites, which are used for aqueous Cr(VI) degradation. The intersurface states between BiOI and diverse CeO 2 nanoparticles exhibit distinct behaviors when checked by XPS and photoluminescence intensity. The Cr(VI) degradation results show that the synthesized CeO 2 @BiOI nanocomposites possess higher photocatalytic activity than pure CeO 2 or BiOI, and the CeO 2 -NP@BiOI nanocomposite (molar ratio of CeO 2 : BiOI = 1:2) is the best one among them, with which the Cr(VI) is degraded up to 95.0% after 30 min irradiation using it as the photocatalyst. The superior catalytic performance of CeO 2 -NP@BiOI can be attributed to a higher Ce 3+ ratio of CeO 2 -NP, a larger specific surface area, relatively low OH/CO 3 2− content on the composite surface, and especially the good interaction between the CeO 2 (111) facet and the BiOI surface.

Adsorption-based thermal energy conversion systems offer a sustainable solution for space heating and cooling applications. However, due to the limited performance of solid adsorbents, the large-scale application of this technology still requires further research. To address this challenge, we developed a composite adsorbent by integrating a graphene oxide (GO)-modified metal-organic framework (MIL-101(Cr)) with LiCl. The material was characterized using a variety of techniques to assess its improvement in three areas: water adsorption performance, heat propagation rate and stability. The synthesized material was systematically characterized to evaluate three key performance parameters: water adsorption capacity, thermal conductivity, and cyclic stability. The optimized composite LMG-3 (90 wt% LiCl) exhibits a tenfold increase in water absorption capacity compared to MIL-101(Cr)@GO at P/P 0 = 0.3. The introduction of GO significantly increases the heat diffusion coefficient, and the material exhibits excellent cyclic stability and inhibits salt deliquescence, demonstrating its potential for adsorptive thermal storage applications.

The efficient decontamination of pertechnetate ( 99 TcO 4 − ) is an essential task for managing radioactive 99 Tc in nuclear wastes . Perrhenate, (ReO 4 − ), as a nonradioactive analog, exhibits almost identical physicochemical properties as 99 TcO 4 − . Herein, a novel magnetic amine-functionalized MIL-101(Cr) (NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr)@Fe 3 O 4 ) was prepared and used to efficiently remove ReO 4 − from solution for the facile magnetic separation. A series of environmental parameters were considered to investigate the adsorption performance of NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr)@Fe 3 O 4 . Experimental results suggested that NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr)@Fe 3 O 4 has reached a satisfied adsorption capacity (~401 mg/g) and a very fast adsorption kinetics at pH 7.0. The selectivity for ReO 4 − was maintained even in the presence of interfering anions with relatively high concentrations. ReO 4 − were mainly captured by N-donor sites of the surface-decorated amine via complexation and were trapped in the cavities of modified MIL-101(Cr). NH 2 -MIL-101(Cr)@Fe 3 O 4 exhibits satisfactory adsorption performance for ReO 4 − and can be conveniently separated from wastewaters after adsorption.

Porous α-Fe2O3 nanostructures with different morphologies, such as rod-like, sphere-like and cube-like nanostructures, were successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method. The obtained products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and nitrogen adsorption. It was found that iron precursors played a crucial role in the formation of porous α-Fe2O3 nanostructures. The porous α-Fe2O3 nanorods possessed largest BET surface area and ideal pore distribution, as well as exhibited excellent Cr(VI) removal capacity and a fast adsorption rate in a wide pH range. Moreover, porous α-Fe2O3 nanorods also showed excellent adsorptive ability for organic dyes.

Poly(m-phenylenediamine) (PmPD) is an efficient material for the adsorption of Cr(VI). However, it is facile to aggregate in water, which reduces its adsorption capacity, and it is not facile to be separated from water. Hence, magnetic or membrane structures by compositing PmPD with other functional materials are usually synthesized to solve the above problems. Here, we utilized polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) chains to obtain a dense network structure, which embedded and constrained PmPD into the network to form a membrane. PmPD constrained in the membrane existed stably and was facilely separated from water due to the large size of the membrane. Meanwhile, the PmPD/PVA membranes showed good mechanical properties and combined both the extraordinary adsorption capacity and reusability. In this study, the maximum Cr(VI) adsorption capacity of the composite membrane structures was 498.87 mg g−1 at room temperature. The adsorption and removal mechanism can be explained by the fact that the protonated imine units adsorb Cr(VI) via electrostatic attraction; following this, Cr(VI) changed to Cr(III) by reduction and chelated on the imine units. This study demonstrated that the PmPD/PVA membrane has a great potential for the separation of Cr(VI) from wastewater due to its low-cost and high adsorption capacity.

Heavy metal ions and organic pollutants often coexist in industrial effluents. In this work, silica-di-block polymer hybrids (SiO2-g-PBA-b-PDMAEMA) with two ratios (SiO2/BA/DMAEMA = 1/50/250 and 1/60/240) were designed and prepared for the simultaneous removal of Cr(VI) and phenol via a surface-initiated atom-transfer radical polymerization process using butyl methacrylate (BA) as a hydrophobic monomer and 2-(Dimethylamino)ethylmethacrylate (DMAEMA) as a hydrophilic monomer. The removal efficiency of Cr(VI) and phenol by the hybrids reached 88.25% and 88.17%, respectively. The sample with a larger proportion of hydrophilic PDMAEMA showed better adsorption of Cr(VI), and the sample with a larger proportion of hydrophobic PBA showed better adsorption of phenol. In binary systems, the presence of Cr(VI) inhibited the adsorption of phenol, yet the presence of phenol had a negligible effect on the adsorption of Cr(VI). Kinetics studies showed that the adsorption of Cr(VI) and phenol fitted the pseudo-second-order model well. Thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption behavior of Cr(VI) and phenol were better described by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation, and the adsorption of Cr(VI) and phenol were all spontaneous adsorptions driven by enthalpy. The adsorbent still possessed good adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) and phenol after six adsorption–desorption cycles. These findings show that SiO2-g-PBA-b-PDMAEMA hybrids represent a satisfying adsorption material for the simultaneous removal of heavy metal ions and organic pollutants.Keywords:silica;amphipathic;block copolymer;adsorption;Cr(VI);phenol

Herein, a nanocomposite of Cu,Ce-containing phosphotungstates (Cu,Ce-PTs) with outstanding laccase-like activity was fabricated via a one-pot microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. Notably, it was discovered that both Fe 3+ and Cr 6+ could significantly enhance the electron transfer rates of Ce 3+ and Ce 4+ , along with generous Cu 2+ with high catalytic activity, thereby promoting the laccase-like activity of Cu,Ce-PTs. The proposed system can be used for the detection of Fe 3+ and Cr 6+ in a range of 0.667–333.33 μg/mL and 0.033–33.33 μg/mL with a low detection limit of 0.135 μg/mL and 0.0288 μg/mL, respectively. The proposed assay exhibits excellent reusability and selectivity and can be used in traditional Chinese medicine samples analysis.

As one category of promising and efficacious purification material toward environmentally harmful heavy metals, sulfidated amorphous zero-valent Iron (S@AZVI) exhibits unparalleled removal performance. Due to the disruptive crystal growth however, the irreversible loss of Fe 0 component during conventional synthesis route poses a substantial hindrance to its industrial application. To address this, we propose a post-sulfidation strategy to hinder the transformation of Fe 0 by altering the shell composition of AZVI from Fe 2 O 3 to FeS, which maintains a remarkable Fe 0 content up to 75.7 % over finally obtained S@AZVI, far higher than the material obtained through the one-step sulfidation . Attributing to the synergy of FeS shell and substantial Fe 0 , S@AZVI demonstrates impressive performance as the lowest free corrosion potential (−1.050 V) and work function (4.058 eV), and subsequently exhibits a notable enhancement in the removal efficiency of Cr(VI) and Ni(II), surpassing AZVI by 1.8 and 2.0 times, respectively. Results reveal that the adsorption, reduction, and coprecipitation constitute the mechanisms governing the removal of Cr(VI) and Ni(II). In practical electroplating wastewater experiments, S@AZVI effectively removes Cr(VI) and Ni(II) within a 60-min timeframe, meeting established emission standards. These findings provide valuable insights for future AZVI material synthesis for heavy metal elimination.

The widespread use and subsequent release of antibiotics by humans and animals pose health and environmental risks, compelling their removal from aquatic ecosystems. MIL-101(Cr), a metal-organic framework (MOF), exhibits versatile applications in antibiotic adsorption owing to its exceptional structural characteristics. In this context, MIL-101(Cr) nanoparticles are successfully prepared via the hydrothermal method to remove pefloxacin (PEF) from aqueous solutions. The resulting MIL-101(Cr) adsorbents showcase high crystallinity (97.6%), a large surface area (3166 m 2 /g), broad nanopore sizes, good thermal stability, and efficient reusability. Factors including initial PEF concentration, pH, dosage of adsorbent, and temperature are thoroughly investigated. The findings reveal a good adsorption capacity (254.3 mg/g) with an optimal removal efficiency (99.7%) at 308 K in a neutral pH of 7.0 when the adsorbent dosage is 250 mg/L and the initial PEF concentration is 200 mg/L within 80 min of contact. Among the three adsorption isotherms (Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin models), the Langmuir equation best fits the studies, indicating a maximum adsorption capacity of 253.8 mg/g at 25°C, while the experimental equilibrium adsorption capacity is 229.2 mg/g at the same temperature. Adsorption kinetics aligns with the pseudo-second-order model. Thermodynamic parameters and activation energy affirm the endothermic and spontaneous behavior of the adsorption process, attributed to both physisorption and chemisorption. This study highlights the promising potential of synthesized MOF nanocrystals as an effective adsorbent for antibiotics in wastewater treatment and environmental remediation.

Nowadays, a number of spectrophotometric methods for Cr(VI) determination have been developed. Whereas most of them are sensitive to pH, metallic ions, temperature, etc, which render them out of feasibility and may result in erroneous measurement. Therefore, to overcome these drawbacks, a new spectrophotometric method with rapid detection, high accuracy and strong anti-interference ability was established. This method is based on the oxidative coloration of N,N -diethyl- p -phenylenediamine (DPD) and Cr(VI) to generate pink-colored DPD •+ radicals which showed maximum absorbance at 551 nm. Accordingly, different reaction parameters were optimized, the calibration curves (linear range 0.85–60 µM) were established with a high sensibility of (3.05 ± 0.02) × 10 4 M −1 cm −1 . The LOD and LOQ were determined to be 0.26 µM and 0.85 µM respectively, accompanied with a stoichiometric coefficient of near 1:3 (1:2.78). The DPD method exerted a satisfactory accuracy in natural water samples and a pretty good anti-interference performance towards various common co-existing metallic ions. Moreover, this method was successfully applied in the Cr(VI)-sulfite and Cr(VI)-hydroxylamine systems. Overall, the study highlights the DPD method as a promising approach for the Cr(VI) determination and provides a new perspective for the practices of spectrophotometry .

Carbon dots-TiO 2 nanosheets (CDs-TNs) composites were synthesized by hydrothermal method and applied for the first time in photoreduction of Cr(VI) under sunlight illumination. The materials were characterized by transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. The results confirmed that CDs are successfully incorporated with TNs through Ti O C bonds. With the introduction of CDs, CDs-TNs composites exhibit excellent photoreduction performance of Cr(VI), which is higher than that of TNs, P25 and CDs-P25. The unique upconversion property and electron transfer property of CDs play essential roles on light harvesting and charge carriers transferring in the photoreduction process. Most importantly, CDs could facilitate the formation of H 2 O 2 , leading to the consumption of holes. As a result, the recombination of photoinduced electron-hole pairs is hindered and photoreduction activity of CDs-TNs is promoted.

Porous biochar was prepared from agricultural and forestry wastes to remove Cr(VI) in sewage, which solved the problem of water pollution and realized the reuse of wastes. Herein, in this work, the bagasse pith residues after alkali pre-extraction have been used as the raw material for preparing porous biochars ( BPR -BC), which could be further used for efficiently purifying the simulated Cr(VI) wastewater. The results showed that the as-prepared biochars had an ultra-high specific surface area of 2745.7 m 3 /g and Cr(VI) removal capacity of 185.07 mg/g. The kinetic and isotherms studies were best described by pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model, respectively. The thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. Furthermore, based on the concept of “waste to waste,” the Cr-contained waste adsorbent by doping Cu has been converted into a bagasse pith residues biochar supported Copper-Chromium catalyst (Cu-CrOx/ BPR -BC) for further hydrogenation of furfural. The catalytic experimental result showed that the furfural 1 can be selectively converted into furfuryl alcohol (FOL) and difurfuryl ether (DEF) catalyzed by the prepared Cu-CrOx/ BPR -BC catalyst, provided a new idea for the further utilization of Cr(VI) containing adsorbents.
