Published: Feb. 11, 2025

Water scarcity, contamination, and lack of sanitation are global issues that require innovations in chemistry, engineering, materials science. To tackle the challenge providing high-quality drinking water for a growing population, we need to develop high-performance multifunctional treat on both small large scales. As modern society science prioritize more sustainable engineering practices, treatment processes will use produced from resources via green chemical routes, combining multiple advanced properties such as high surface area great affinity contaminants. Lignin, one major components plants an abundant byproduct cellulose bioethanol industries, offers cost-effective scalable platform developing materials, with wide range physicochemical can be tailored improve their performance target applications. This review aims bridge current gap literature by exploring lignin, solid bulk or solubilized macromolecules nanolignin (nano)materials processes. We address application lignin-based macro-, micro-, nanostructured adsorption, catalysis, flocculation, membrane filtration processes, antimicrobial coatings composites. Throughout exploration recent progress trends this field, emphasize importance integrating principles chemistry sustainability advance technologies.

Photodegradation of indigo carmine (IC) in wastewater has received much attention recent decades. However, the current photocatalysts used for IC photodegradation suffer from an unsatisfactory efficiency due to low yield reactive species. Herein, a P-modified biochar/g-C3N4 (P-BC/CN) photocatalyst was fabricated by mechanochemical method using biochar and g-C3N4 as precursors. It is discovered that PN bonds were constructed between g-C3N4, these served active sites promote generation •O2− during process. The component P-BC/CN composite conducive transfer photogenerated carriers, thereby avoiding their recombination. experiment showed exhibits impressive performance towards (C0 = 50 mg/L) with rate 95.3% 120 min. This work provides green efficient design biochar-based advanced purification.

Abstract BACKGROUND The environmental problems caused by microplastics are becoming increasingly serious with the widespread use of plastic products. This study utilized lignin‐modified preparation spontaneous magnetic sludge‐based biochar (LC@SRBC) to remove Polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs). RESULT quasi‐second‐order adsorption kinetics model, and SIPs isothermal model exhibited excellent agreement experimental data, Theoretical saturation capacity 406.68 mg/g was found at 500 °C‐pyrolyzed LC@SRBC. effects different factors on efficiency PSNPs removal adsorbents were analyzed in detail, final rate reached 97.87% 30 min. We believe that electrostatic effect is main affecting PSNPs. With increase pH value, potential difference between surface adsorbent increases, repulsion strengthened, which leads a significant decrease capacity. Furthermore, presence metal nanoparticles LC@SRBC promoted formation metal‐O‐PSNPs oxygen‐containing functional groups, enhanced its for Meanwhile, magnetism solid–liquid separation, avoiding influence filtration effect. CONCLUSION In summary, present materials from resource utilization red mud solid wastes effective polystyrene water. © 2025 Society Chemical Industry (SCI).
