Leather and textile industrial effluents are the main disseminating routes for chromium contamination of water bodies, causing adverse impacts on public environmental health. The attempt to remediate through conventional wastewater treatment methods is inefficient. Therefore, this study aims synthesize zinc-doped nickel ferrite pinecone biochar (Zn-NiF@PBC) nanocomposite removal from systems. Zn-NiF@PBC was synthesized via co-precipitation method. properties (Zn-NiF) were effectively modified by blending with at 1, 5, 10, 15 % (w/w) which successfully embedded Zn-Ni nanoparticles. This characterized confirmed typical adsorbent such as a high surface area 104 m2/g, conducive pore volume 0.117 cm3/g size 3.41 nm (BET), interactive multi-functional groups (FTIR), charge determination (pHpzc,), crystalline structure (XRD) very rough morphology (SEM). maximum adsorption found be 95 specific experimental condition pH 3, dose 1 g/50 mL, contact time 120 min, initial concentration 100 mg/L. data best fitted Langmuir isotherm R2 0.98 indicating process homogeneous monolayer whereas kinetics resembling second-order kinetic 0.99. Moreover, thermodynamics spontaneous, endothermic, increased change in entropy. Finally, regeneration effective up five 5 cycles but gradually degrading terms efficiency after 3 cycles. In general, can huge potential scale-up extend other pollutants clear-up.

Pinecone biochar for the Adsorption of chromium (VI) from wastewater: Kinetics, thermodynamics, and adsorbent regeneration

Environmental Research, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 258, С. 119423 - 119423

Опубликована: Июнь 16, 2024

High concentration of chromium in aquatic environments is the trigger for researchers to remediate it from wastewater environments. However, conventional water treatment methods have not been satisfactory removing and over last decade. Similarly, many adsorption studies focused on one aspect treatment, but this study dealt with all aspects packages come up a concrete conclusion. Therefore, aimed prepare pinecone biochar (PBC) via pyrolysis apply Cr(VI) removal wastewater. The PBC was characterized using FTIR, SEM-EDX, BET surface area, pH

Mechanistic interpretation of the sorption of terbuthylazine pesticide onto aged microplastics

Environmental Pollution, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 345, С. 123502 - 123502

Опубликована: Фев. 3, 2024

Microplastics (MPs) pose a global concern due to their ubiquitous distribution. Once in the environment, they are subject aging, which changes chemical-physical properties and ability interact with organic pollutants, such as pesticides. Therefore, this study investigated interaction of hydrophobic herbicide terbuthylazine (TBA), is widely used agriculture, artificially aged polyethylene (PE) MP (PE-MP) understand how aging affects its sorption. PE was by an accelerated weathering process including UV irradiation, hydrogen peroxide, ultrasonic treatment, particles were characterized comparison pristine particles. Sorption kinetics performed for materials, while further sorption studies PE-MP included determining environmental factors pH, temperature, TBA concentration. found be significantly lower on compared because led formation oxygen-containing functional groups, resulting reduction hydrophobicity negatively charged sites oxidized surfaces. For PE-MP, best described pseudo-second-order model, it intra-particle diffusion result crack pore formation. followed decreasing trend increasing became less favorable at higher temperatures. The isotherm data revealed complex altered, heterogeneous surfaces involving interactions, bonding, π-π Sips adsorption model. Desorption low, confirming strong interaction. However, thermodynamic results imply that increased temperatures, those from climate change, could promote re-release into environment. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) confirmed onto PE.
