Inorganic hierarchical nanostructures have remarkable potential applications in environmental metal remediation; however, their applications usually suffer from low capacity, high cost, and difficulties in the recycling of adsorbents.

Nowadays, nanofiltration is widely used for water treatment due to its advantages, such as energy-saving, sustainability, high efficiency, and compact equipment. In the present work, novel nanofiltration membranes based on the polymer of intrinsic microporosity PIM-1 modified by metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)—MIL-140A and MIL-125—were developed to increase nanofiltration efficiency for the removal of heavy metal ions and dyes. The structural and physicochemical properties of the developed PIM-1 and PIM-1/MOFs membranes were studied by the spectroscopic technique (FTIR), microscopic methods (SEM and AFM), and contact angle measurement. Transport properties of the developed PIM-1 and PIM-1/MOFs membranes were evaluated in the nanofiltration of the model and real mixtures containing food dyes and heavy metal ions. It was found that the introduction of MOFs (MIL-140A and MIL-125) led to an increase in membrane permeability. It was demonstrated that the membranes could be used to remove and concentrate the food dyes and heavy metal ions from model and real mixtures.

We report on the efficient removal of heavy metal ions and aromatic compounds from simulated wastewater with a nanocomposite. The nanocomposite was obtained via thermal decomposition of the precursor Fe(acac)3 onto the surface of graphene, modified by diethylenetriamine pentaacetic anhydride through dopamine. It was found that the maximum adsorption capacity of the nanocomposite toward Cu2+ and naphthalene was 207.9 and 72.2 mg g−1 respectively, displaying a high efficiency for the removal of heavy metal ions as well as aromatic compounds at pH 7.0 and 293 K. The Langmuir for naphthalene and the Freundlich for the Cu2+ adsorption isotherms were applicable for describing the removal processes. Furthermore, the nanocomposite was carefully examined by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectra, and UV-vis spectroscopy. This work provides a very efficient, fast and convenient approach to exploring a promising nanocomposite for water treatment.

In the present work flower-like, α-Fe2O3 were synthesized by ethylene-glycol mediated polyol method. The synthesized flower-like, α-Fe2O3 were separated cadmium (Cd2+) chromium (Cr6+) and lead ions (Pb2+) from wastewater. XRD pattern and FESEM images show the obtained sample is pure hematite and flower-like nanostructures average particle sizes 4.0 μm. The BET specific surface area was 47.55 m2g−1. Adsorption experiments were investigated the adsorbent dose, influence pH of the metal ions, sorption times and initial concentrations of heavy metal ions. High efficiency of Cd2+, Cr6+ and Pb2+ removal occurred at pH 7.0, 3.0 and 5.5, respectively. The adsorption equilibrium study showed that the heavy metal ions adsorption of flowers like α-Fe2O3 followed a Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm model. The heavy metal ions adsorption equilibrium data were followed to the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacities were 16.95, 22.22 and 25.64 mg g−1 for Cd2+, Cr6+ and Pb2+ ions respectively. This work determines that the synthesized flower-like α-Fe2O3 is proposed as an efficient nano-adsorbent for wastewater treatment.
