Highly Selective Removal of Pb(II) by a Pyridylpyrazole-β-ketoenol Receptor Covalently Bonded onto the Silica Surface.

ABSTRACT: Efficient materials capable of capturing toxic metals from water are widely needed. Herein, a new pyridylpyrazole-β-ketoenol receptor, X-ray diffraction analyzed, was covalently incorporated into the silica surface to produce solid and recyclable adsorbent particles. The new material, fully characterized, revealed extremely efficient removal of toxic metals from water, with a selectivity order of Pb(II) > Zn(II) > Cu(II) > Cd(II). The adsorption was exceptionally rapid at optimum pH and concentrations, showing Pb(II) removal of 93 mg g^-1 within 5 min and maximum Pb(II) adsorption of 110 mg g^-1 after only 20 min. Sorption isotherms agreed well with the Langmuir model suggesting a monolayer adsorption, whereas kinetics agreed with the pseudo-second-order model suggesting a chemisorption binding mechanism. Thermodynamics of adsorption were fitted with an endothermic and spontaneous process. The material, recyclable for at least five cycles, is therefore promising for the cleanup of water polluted by toxic metals, especially lead.

Sorghum-Waste-Derived High-Surface Area KOH-Activated Porous Carbon for Highly Efficient Methylene Blue and Pb(II) Removal.

Project description:With the development of the environment and human society, the removal of metal ions and dyes in wastewater treatment remains an urgent problem to solve. In this work, two biomass carbon adsorbents were synthesized by a KOH activation and carbonization route using sorghum stem and root as carbon precursors. In comparison with the samples without KOH activation, the pore structure of the KOH-activated carbon has been dramatically improved. The findings show that the specific surface areas of the adsorbents by sorghum stem (S1) and sorghum root (R1) were 948.6 and 168.1 m2 g-1, respectively. Meanwhile, the abundant OH- and COO- groups on the surface of these adsorbents endow them with negative polarity, thereby exhibiting excellent adsorption performance for removing methylene blue (MB) and Pb(II) from wastewater. The adsorption amount and removal rate of S1 were 98.1 mg g-1 and 98.08%, respectively, for MB, whereas those of R1 were 197.6 mg g-1 and 98.82% for the Pb(II) ion, respectively. Our findings offer an invaluable insight into designing and synthesizing a highly efficient sustainable adsorbent to remove MB and Pb(II) based on biomass agricultural waste.

Synergistic removal of Pb(II), Cd(II) and humic acid by Fe3O4@mesoporous silica-graphene oxide composites.

Project description:The synergistic adsorption of heavy metal ions and humic acid can be very challenging. This is largely because of their competitive adsorption onto most adsorbent materials. Hierarchically structured composites containing polyethylenimine-modified magnetic mesoporous silica and graphene oxide (MMSP-GO) were here prepared to address this. Magnetic mesoporous silica microspheres were synthesized and functionalized with PEI molecules, providing many amine groups for chemical conjugation with the carboxyl groups on GO sheets and enhanced the affinity between the pollutants and the mesoporous silica. The features of the composites were characterized using TEM, SEM, TGA, DLS, and VSM measurements. Series adsorption results proved that this system was suitable for simultaneous and efficient removal of heavy metal ions and humic acid using MMSP-GO composites as adsorbents. The maximum adsorption capacities of MMSP-GO for Pb(II) and Cd (II) were 333 and 167 mg g(-1) caculated by Langmuir model, respectively. HA enhances adsorption of heavy metals by MMSP-GO composites due to their interactions in aqueous solutions. The underlying mechanism of synergistic adsorption of heavy metal ions and humic acid were discussed. MMSP-GO composites have shown promise for use as adsorbents in the simultaneous removal of heavy metals and humic acid in wastewater treatment processes.

Aminated Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Nanofibers for the Selective Removal of Pb(II) from Polluted Water

Project description:Electrospun nanofibers have been successfully applied to remove toxic and carcinogenic contaminants such as heavy metals from polluted water. In this study, an efficient adsorbent based on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) nanofibers was developed following a cheap, versatile and scalable process. PET nanofibers were first produced by electrospinning, and their surface was chemically functionalized using a simple aminolysis process. The capacity of the resulting material to adsorb Pb(II) from synthetic solutions was evaluated as a function of the contact time, pH, and initial metal ion concentration. The adsorbent system presented a quick kinetic adsorption, reaching an extremely high maximum adsorption capacity of about 50 millimol (mmol) of Pb(II) per gram of adsorbent system after just 30 min. Moreover, the effect of competing metal ions, such as Ni(II), Cd(II) and Cu(II), was studied at different molar ratios. Finally, when tested in continuous flow mode, aminated PET (APET) nanofibers were able to remove 97% of Pb(II) ions in solution, demonstrating their potential for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated water.

Nitrogen-Doped Nanoporous Carbon Nanospheroids for Selective Dye Adsorption and Pb(II) Ion Removal from Waste Water.

Project description:In the presence of melamine and block copolymers, namely, F108, F127, and P123, nitrogen-doped nanoporous carbon nanospheroids (N@CNSs) were synthesized by the hydrothermal process. The F127-modified sample (CNF127) exhibits the maximum Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 773.4 m2/g with a pore volume of 0.877 cm3/g. The microstructural study reveals that nanospheroids of size 50-200 nm were aggregated together to form a chainlike structure for all triblock copolymer-modified samples. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study shows the binding energies of 398.33 and 400.7 eV attributed to sp2 (C-N=C)- and sp3 (C-N)-hybridized nitrogen-bonded carbons, respectively. The synthesized N@CNS samples showed selective adsorption of organic dye methylene blue (MB) in the presence of methyl orange (MO) as well as Pb(II) ion removal from contaminated water. The adsorptions for MB and Pb(II) ions followed pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, respectively. The sample CNF127 showed the highest adsorption of 73 and 99.82 mg/g for MB and Pb(II) adsorptions, respectively. The adsorption capacity for MB of the copolymer-modified samples follows the order CNF127 > CNP123 > CNF108, which corroborated with the mesoporosity as well as nitrogen content of the corresponding samples. The maximum % adsorption of Pb(II) follows the order CNF127 (99.82%) > CNF108 (98.74%) > CNP123 (91.82%), and this trend is attributed to the BET surface area of the corresponding samples. This study demonstrates multicomponent removal of water pollutants, both organic dyes and inorganic toxic metal ions.

Double-Network Hydrogels Reinforced with Covalently Bonded Silica Nanoparticles via 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide Chemistry.

Project description:Hydrogels have progressed from single-network materials with low mechanical integrity to double-network hydrogels (DNHGs) with tough, tunable properties. In this work, we introduce a nanocomposite structure into the first network of a DNHG. Amine-functionalized silica nanoparticles (ASNPs) were covalently cross-linked by forming amide bonds through the carboxylic groups of polyacrylic acid (PAAc) in the first network. DNHGs with varying sizes of ASNPs (50, 100, and 150 nm) and varying concentrations (2.5, 10, 20, and 40 wt %) were explored and compared to a control without a nanocomposite structure. Compressive strengths improved from 0.10 MPa for the control to a maximum of 1.28 MPa for the PAAc/PAAm DNHGs. All hydrogels experienced increased resistance to strain with a maximum of 74% compared to 45% for the control. SEM images of freeze-dried gels showed that ASNPs were integrated into the gel mesh. Nanoparticle retention was calculated using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) with improved retention values for larger ASNPs. New DNHG composites have been formed with improved mechanical properties and a potential use in tissue engineering and biomaterial applications.

Effective removal of Pb(II) ions using piperazine-modified magnetic graphene oxide nanocomposite; optimization by response surface methodology.

Project description:In this research, the piperazine-modified magnetic graphene oxide (Pip@MGO) nanocomposite was synthesized and utilized as a nano-adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II) ions from environmental water and wastewater samples. The physicochemical properties of Pip@MGO nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), Vibrating Sample Magnetometery (VSM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis. In this method, the batch removal process were designed by response surface methodology (RSM) based on a central composite design (CCD) model. The results indicated that the highest efficiency of Pb(II) removal was obtained from the quadratic model under optimum conditions of prominent parameters (initial pH 6.0, adsorbent dosage 7 mg, initial concentration of lead 15 mg L-1 and contact time 27.5 min). Adsorption data showed that lead ions uptake on Pip@MGO nanocomposite followed the Langmuir isotherm model equation and pseudo-second order kinetic model. High adsorption capacity (558.2 mg g-1) and easy magnetic separation capability showed that the synthesized Pip@MGO nanocomposite has great potential for the removal of Pb(II) ions from contaminated wastewaters.

Superhydrophobic and Compressible Silica-polyHIPE Covalently Bonded Porous Networks via Emulsion Templating for Oil Spill Cleanup and Recovery.

Project description:We synthesize porous polyHIPE networks with silanol functionalities in the polyHIPE backbone. These silanol functionalities are used for covalent bonding with silica aerogels embedded in the polyHIPE. Covalent bonding between silica and polyHIPE networks are confirmed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Silica aerogels covalently bonded with polyHIPE network show macroporous and mesoporous morphologies and possess excellent properties like high bendability, high elasticity, superhydrophobicity (~160°), low density (~0.128 g/cm3), and low thermal conductivity (~0.045 W/m·K). Oil absorption from water/oil mixtures and recovery of the absorbed oil (by squeezing) from flexible silica-polyHIPE networks is studied. The silica-polyHIPE is shown to absorb crude oil ~16-times its own weight and can be reused multiple times after recovery. Hence, such materials are very important for oil spill cleanup applications from aqueous systems.

Highly Sensitive and Selective Fluorescence "Turn-On" Detection of Pb (II) Based on Fe3O4@Au-FITC Nanocomposite.

Project description:New nanocomposites, Fe3O4@Au-FITC, were prepared and explored to develop a fluorescent detection of Pb2+. The Fe3O4@AuNPs-FITC nanocomposites could be etched by Pb2+ in the presence of Na2S2O3, leading to fluorescence recovery of FITC quenched by Fe3O4@Au nanocomposites. With the increase of Pb2+ concentration, the fluorescence recovery of Fe3O4@AuNPs-FITC increased gradually. Under optimized conditions, a detection limit of 5.2 nmol/L of Pb2+ with a linear range of 0.02-2.0 µmol/L were obtained. The assay demonstrated negligible response to common metal ions. Recoveries of 98.2-106.4% were obtained when this fluorescent method was applied in detecting Pb2+ spiked in a lake-water sample. The above results demonstrated the high potential of ion-induced nanomaterial etching in developing robust fluorescent assays.

Electrospun superhydrophilic membranes for effective removal of Pb(ii) from water.

Project description:Nanofibrous membranes have a high specific surface area and large porosity, which are beneficial for being used as adsorbents to remove heavy metal ions from water. In this work, electrospun nanofibers were wrapped with a hydrogel layer with a tunable thickness, which endowed the membrane with excellent superhydrophilic performance. Because of good water-retention properties and abundant functional groups originating from the hydrogel layer, as a static adsorbent, the maximum adsorption capacity of Pb(ii) was up to 146.21 mg g-1 according to the Langmuir model. Meanwhile, the electrospun membrane also possessed water permeability as a flow-through membrane for dynamic adsorption, which was obviously different from traditional hydrogel adsorbents. As a result, the rejection ratio of Pb(ii) can remain over 55% after running for 72 h under high pH conditions and at low initial ion concentrations. Apart from these, cycle operations confirmed the regeneration of the membrane, and competitive adsorption experiments illustrated the selective removal of Pb(ii) in a mixed ion solution.

Rapid removal of Pb(II) from aqueous solution using branched polyethylenimine enhanced magnetic carboxymethyl chitosan optimized with response surface methodology.

Project description:In this study, branched polyethylenimine (PEI) enhanced magnetic carboxymethyl chitosan (MCMC-PEI) was synthesized and applied as adsorbent for the rapid removal of Pb(II) from aqueous solution. The successful synthesis of the adsorbent was proved by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Simultaneously, the effect of the parameters such as initial concentration, adsorbent mass and pH of the solution on the removal of Pb(II) was studied by using response surface methodology (RSM). And central composite design (CCD), which is a widely used form of RSM, was employed in the experimental design procedure. The adsorption results revealed that the adsorption process could reach equilibrium rapidly within 10 min. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetic data could be well described by pseudo-second order model. The maximum adsorption capacity was 124.0 mg/g according to the Langmuir-Freundlich model, which fitted the adsorption isotherm of Pb(II) better than Langmuir model and Freundlich model, respectively. Thermodynamic studies (ΔG < 0, ΔH < 0, ΔS > 0) implied a spontaneous and exothermic process in nature. Meanwhile, the fabricated adsorbent exhibited excellent reusability. Therefore, the excellent adsorption property of MCMC-PEI made it a promising application in water treatment.
