This study evaluated the waste generated by a Spanish marble-producing company as adsorbent for the removal of copper (Cu [II]) from aqueous media. Six marble waste sludge samples were studied, and the following operational parameters were analyzed in discontinuous regime, including pollutant concentration, pH, temperature, nature of aqueous medium, and ionic strength. The applicability of the adsorbent material was assessed with experiments in both continuous and discontinuous regimes under close-to-real-life conditions. A pseudo-second order model yielded a better fit to the kinetic data. Application of the intraparticle diffusion model revealed two well-differentiated adsorption stages, in which the external material transfer is negligible and intraparticle diffusion is the controlling stage. The equilibrium study was better fitted to a Freundlich-type isotherm, predicting elevated maximum adsorption values (22.7 mg g−1) at a relatively low initial Cu (II) concentration (25 ppm), yielding a highly favorable chemisorption process (n >> 1). X-ray fluorescence study identified calcite (CaCO3) as the main component of marble waste sludges. According to X-ray diffraction analysis, Cu (II) ion adsorption occurred by intercalation of the metallic cation between CaCO3 layers and by the formation of surface complexes such as CaCO3 and Cu2(CO3)(OH)2. Cu (II) was more effectively removed at medium pH, lower temperature, and lower ionic strength of the aqueous medium. The salinity and dissolved organic matter in surface, ground-, and waste-waters negatively affected the Cu (II) removal process in both continuous and discontinuous regimes by competing for active adsorption sites. These findings demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of marble-derived waste sludges as low-cost and readily available adsorbents for the treatment of waters polluted by Cu (II) under close-to-real-life conditions.

The use of nano-enabled products (NEPs) can release engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) into water resources, and the increasing commercialisation of NEPs raises the environmental exposure potential. The current study investigated the release of ENMs and their characteristics from six commercial products (sunscreens, body creams, sanitiser, and socks) containing nTiO2, nAg, and nZnO. ENMs were released in aqueous media from all investigated NEPs and were associated with ions (Ag+ and Zn2+) and coating agents (Si and Al). NEPs generally released elongated (7–9 × 66–70 nm) and angular (21–80 × 25–79 nm) nTiO2, near-spherical (12–49 nm) and angular nAg (21–76 × 29–77 nm), and angular nZnO (32–36 × 32–40 nm). NEPs released varying ENMs’ total concentrations (ca 0.4–95%) of total Ti, Ag, Ag+, Zn, and Zn2+ relative to the initial amount of ENMs added in NEPs, influenced by the nature of the product and recipient water quality. The findings confirmed the use of the examined NEPs as sources of nanopollution in water resources, and the physicochemical properties of the nanopollutants were determined. Exposure assessment data from real-life sources are highly valuable for enriching the robust environmental risk assessment of nanotechnology.

The “inverted” order of stabilities Ktrig > Ktet is observed for pinanediol boronate esters in spite of the existence of the usual strain release effect in the O–B–O angle of the cyclic diol ester.
