The main objective of the present work is to elaborate on a new eco-friendly and efficient adsorbent designated for aquatic micropollutants removal. However, the synthesis of the Ethylenediamine Crosslinked 2D-Cellulose green adsorbent was carried out successfully, by partial grafting of benzyl entities onto hydroxyl groups of HEC, and crosslinking with ethylenediamine ED. Further, the new ethylenediamine crosslinked 2D-Cellulose was used as a biosorbent for nanoencapsulation removal of copper and lead heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. The proposal chemical structures of unmodified and modified materials were confirmed using FTIR, XRD, TGA, and SEM–EDX analysis. Furthermore, many parameters of the optimization for Pb (II) and Cu (II) in terms of removal efficiency including pH, adsorbent amount, and contact time were optimized by response surface methodology with a Box–Behnken design. Based on the desirability optimization with three factors, the maximal removal was 99.52% and 97.5% for Pb(II) and Cu(II), respectively and was obtained at pH = 5.94, 22.2 mg as the optimal adsorbent amount, and 21.53 min as contact time.

Bioremediation is an effective process for the removal and recovery of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. In this study, red algae Porphyra leucosticta was examined to remove Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions from wastewater through biological enrichment and biological precipitation. The experimental parameters that affect the bioremediation process such as pH, contact time and biomass dosage were studied. The maximum bioremediation capacity of metal ions was 31.45 mg/g for Cd(II) and 36.63 mg/g for Pb(II) at biomass dosage 15 g/L, pH 8.0 and contact time 120 minutes containing initial 10.0 mg/L of Cd(II) and 10.0 mg/L of Pb(II) solution. Red algae Porphyra leucosticta biomass was efficient at removing metal ions of 10.0 mg/L of Cd(II) and 10.0 mg/L of Pb(II) solution with bioremediation efficiency of 70% for Cd(II) and 90% for Pb(II) in optimal conditions. At the same time, the removal capacity for real industrial effluent was gained at 75% for 7.6 mg/L Cd(II) and 95% for 8.9 mg/L Pb(II). In conclusion, it is demonstrated that red algae Porphyra leucosticta is a promising, efficient, cheap and biodegradable sorbent biomaterial for reducing heavy metal pollution in the environment and wastewater.

Currently, the preparation of outstanding adsorbents has attracted public concern in environmentally friendly and sustainable pollutant redress. Herein, we report a directional freeze-drying method to prepare a strong and reusable adsorbent by introducing metal-organic framework which modified by ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (named UiO-66-EDTA) into cellulose nanofiber (CNF) aerogel. Compared to traditional aerogels, the fabricated adsorbent showed a good flexibility and reusability by forming a homogeneous three-dimensional structure. By controlling the concentration of a crosslinkable carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solution, we produced aerogels with different pore structures and fibrillar, columnar, and lamellar morphologies. The obtained UiO-66-EDTA/CNF/CMC aerogel (U-EDTACCA) showed an excellent adsorption performance for a total of nine types of heavy metal ions, as the removal efficiency could reach 91%. Moreover, the aerogels could retain 88% of their original shape after five cycles. The aerogel may be an appropriate material for the adsorption of heavy metal ions.

In this paper, a novel carbon/bentonite composite was prepared using sucrose as carbon source and bentonite as raw material. The characterization results shown that plenty of carbon particles distribute on the surface of the composite, and an abundant of functional groups, such as SO3H, carboxylic and hydroxyl groups, were successfully introduced onto the surface of the prepared composite. The adsorption capacity of the prepared composite for typical heavy metal ions and methylene blue deys also was investigated and compared with activated carbon and bentonite, the results show that the composite shows excellent adsorprion performance for heavy metal ions, and the adsorption capacity for Cu2+and Ni2+ increase by 136% and 591% than natural bentonite, respectSuperscript textively. The prepared composite with excellent adsorption performance could be used as a low-cost alternative to activated carbon for the treatment of heavy metal ions polluted wastewater.

This article presents an assessment of the biosorption capacity of Chlorella sorokiniana microalgae in relation to heavy metal ions (Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, Cu2+) at various pH values. With the development of industry, several environmental threats have emerged, including heavy metal pollution. This form of pollution has negative effects in the short and long term on the health of animals and humans. To prevent the accumulation of harmful substances in the human body, it is advised to use oral sorbents in prophylactic and therapeutic purposes. Oral sorbents have the ability to adsorb and neutralize certain toxins in the stomach and the intestines and remove them from the human body. The present article investigated the possibility of using microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana as an oral sorbent. The sorption capacity of Chlorella sorokiniana microalgal biomass was determined by voltammetry of standard solutions with an initial concentration of heavy metal ions of 10 mg/L. The removal efficiency ranged from 88 to 99%. The studies were carried out at pH values from 2 to 6. The sorption capacity was high at all considered acidity values. Sorption properties were confirmed by the study of the IR spectrum and microscopy of the freeze-dried biomass samples. The surface of the sorption material was studied by electron microscopy depicting the presence of multiple pores and depressions. It could be assumed that the sorption properties of microalgae are partly due to physical processes. Freeze drying can significantly increase the active surface area of the sample. The presence of hydroxyl groups in the biomass was confirmed by IR-spectroscopy indicating the chemical nature of the sorption process.

In this study, a performance evaluation of an aluminium oxide modified onion skin waste (Al2O3/OSW) for the removal of heavy metal ions (Pb2+ and Cd2+) from aqueous solution was investigated under batch mode adsorption. The surface morphology, elemental composition, functional groups, textural characteristics and surface charge of the as-made Al2O3/OSW adsorbent were examined using SEM, EDX, FTIR, BET surface area and pHpzc techniques, respectively. The effects of initial cations concentration, contact time, adsorbent dosage, and pH on adsorption of Pb2+ and Cd2+ onto Al2O3/OSW were studied. The adsorption data obtained were evaluated by various adsorption isotherm and kinetic models. Results obtained showed that maximum removal percentages of Pb2+ and Cd2+ were 91.23 and 94.10%, respectively, at the optimum Al2O3/OSW dosage of 1.4 g, contact time of 180 min and aqueous solution pH of 6.0. The isotherm and kinetic studies showed a multilayer adsorbate-adsorbent system with the dominance of the chemisorption mechanism. The study concluded that onion skin waste is a viable, cheap and very effective alternative for removing heavy metal ions from water/wastewater.
