Adsorption of sulfamethoxazole on polypyrrole decorated volcanics over a wide pH range: Mechanisms and site energy distribution consideration

Yingxin Zhao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the adsorption behavior and mechanism of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) on a volcanic rock mineral adsorbent (VR) with Polypyrrole (PPy) modification. The results showed that pore filling and hydrogen bonding were the main adsorption mechanisms for SMX removal by VR, while electrostatic attraction, pi-pi electron donor-acceptor interaction (pi-pi EDA) and ion exchange explained the adsorption distinction between PPy supported VR (PPy-VR) and VR, indicating the wide pH application potential of the modified sorbent. Additionally, the energy distribution analysis revealed that PPy-VR exhibited a stronger adsorption affinity and energy heterogeneity for SMX due to the introduction of pi-pi EDA and ion exchange. The surface modification method provides a feasible idea for improving the application environment of adsorbents, and the analysis of site energy distribution promotes the understanding of the connection between site energy and adsorption mechanism.

Mitigating the Health Effects of Aqueous Cr(VI) with Iron-Modified Biochar

Zhihong Zheng et al.

Summary: In this study, iron-modified biochar was used as an adsorbent for the removal of hexavalent chromium from wastewater. The results showed that a pH of 2 was optimal for the adsorption process. The adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir model was found to be a better fit for describing the adsorption process. Thermodynamic analysis indicated that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. The main mechanisms of chromium adsorption were physical adsorption and chemical adsorption. This study provides a feasible adsorption material for mitigating the environmental hazards of chromium.

Polypyrrole coated molybdenum disulfide composites as adsorbent for enhanced removal of Cr(VI) in aqueous solutions by adsorption combined with reduction

Li Xiang et al.

Summary: The study successfully fabricated PPy/MoS2 composites as efficient sorbents for Cr(VI) removal, showing superior adsorption capacity and cyclic stability. The sorption of Cr(VI) was significantly influenced by pH, with optimal removal efficiency achieved under acidic conditions; the adsorption process was mainly controlled by pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm model; ion exchange, chemical reduction, and surface chelation played crucial roles in the elimination of Cr(VI).

Chikmagalur Mallappa Gopal et al.

Summary: Water samples were collected from 35 locations in Southern India to investigate the occurrence, seasonal variation, and toxicological effects of 11 pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs). The highest detection frequencies of PPCPs were found in the Arkavathi river, indicating continuous discharge of wastewater from populated metropolitan and industrial areas. The ecotoxicity data for some PPCPs suggest high risk for various species of fish and algae.
