Sustainable ligand-modified based composite material for the selective and effective cadmium(II) capturing from wastewater

Md. Munjur Hasan et al.

Summary: The chemical ligand BSBAE was embedded indirectly on mesoporous silica to fabricate optical composite materials (OCM) for detecting and removing toxic cadmium (Cd(II)) ions from wastewater solutions. The OCM demonstrated high sensitivity and selectivity towards Cd(II) ions in acidic pH conditions (pH 3.50) and showed distinguishable color changes upon the addition of trace levels of Cd(II) ions. Other metal ions did not significantly affect the performance of the OCM, which had a detection limit of 0.32 μg/L and a maximum adsorption capacity of 179.65 mg/g for Cd(II) ions. Cd(II) ions could be successfully desorbed from the saturated OCM using 0.25 M HCl, and the regenerated OCM maintained its selectivity and adsorption capacity. However, the adsorption efficiency slightly decreased after multiple cycles. Therefore, the OCM offers a cost-effective and viable alternative for detecting and removing toxic Cd(II) ions from wastewater.

Efficient removal of polyamide particles from wastewater by electrocoagulation

Yu Hu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the removal of polyamide microplastics from wastewater using electrocoagulation. The combination of iron anode and aluminum cathode (Fe-Al) exhibited the highest removal efficiency. The removal efficiency of microplastics increased with higher applied voltage and electrolyte concentration. The optimized conditions for polyamide removal were using Fe-Al electrodes, with a plate spacing of 2.5 cm, an applied voltage of 10 V, an initial pH of 7, and an electrolyte concentration of 0.02 mol/L. This study highlights the potential of electrocoagulation for microplastics removal and provides insights for operational parameter optimization.

Improving copper(II) ion detection and adsorption from wastewater by the ligand-functionalized composite adsorbent

Md. Shad Salman et al.

Summary: In this study, a functional organic ligand, 4-tert-Octyl-4-((phenyl)diazenyl)phenol (TPDP), was directly immobilized onto mesoporous silica to fabricate a composite adsorbent for the detection and removal of toxic copper (Cu(II)) ions from contaminated water. The composite adsorbent showed high sensitivity and selectivity towards Cu(II) ions, with a limit of detection of 0.28 μg/L. The adsorbent exhibited a high adsorption capacity, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 184.73 mg/g. The Cu(II) ions could be eluted and the adsorbent could be regenerated for reuse. This ligand-based composite adsorbent offers a low-cost and efficient method for the detection and removal of Cu(II) ions in real waste sample treatment.

Assessing sustainable Lutetium(III) ions adsorption and recovery using novel composite hybrid nanomaterials

Md Nazmul Hasan et al.

Summary: Organic ligand-based sustainable composite hybrid material (CMHs) was synthesized for the sensitive and selective adsorption of Lu(III) from waste samples. The adsorption of Lu(III) was influenced by solution pH, with slightly acidic conditions chosen for optimal separation and adsorption. Other metal ions did not interfere with Lu(III) adsorption due to the high affinity of Lu(III) to CMHs. The CMHs exhibited a high adsorption capacity and the adsorbed Lu(III) ions were easily eluted for regeneration.

Removal of microplastics from aqueous solutions by magnetic carbon nanotubes

Ye Tang et al.

Summary: This study synthesized magnetic carbon nanotubes (M-CNTs) as adsorbates for the efficient removal of microplastics. The M-CNTs were able to effectively adsorb various types of microplastics and could be easily separated by magnetic force. Additionally, the adsorbed M-CNTs showed potential for recycling and maintained high removal capacity after multiple uses.

Microplastics in the edible tissues of shellfishes sold for human consumption

Damaris Benny Daniel et al.

Summary: This study investigated the presence of microplastics in the edible tissues of four species of shellfishes, finding microplastic particles in each sample with significant species variation in contamination levels. The results suggest a potential annual dietary intake of microplastics by shellfish consumers, depending on species consumed and gut removal.

Interfacial interactions between collected nylon microplastics and three divalent metal ions (Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II)) in aqueous solutions

Shuai Tang et al.

Summary: In this study, the adsorption of three divalent metals onto collected nylon MPs was investigated, revealing that the adsorption is spontaneous, endothermic, and mainly controlled by intraparticle diffusion. Langmuir and Freundlich models were successful in describing the adsorption isotherms.

Interactions of microplastics and antibiotic resistance genes and their effects on the aquaculture environments

Han Dong et al.

Summary: This review discusses the ecological effects of microplastics and antibiotic resistance genes in aquaculture environments. The widespread use of antibiotics in agricultural production leads to the presence of antibiotic residues in water and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Additionally, water microplastics act as carriers of environmental microbes and antibiotic-resistant bacteria, potentially entering aquaculture environments and eventually the human body through food chains.

Size effects of microplastics on accumulation and elimination of phenanthrene in earthworms

Guanghui Xu et al.

Summary: Research shows that different sizes of microplastics have diverse impacts on the accumulation and elimination of organic pollutants by earthworms, with larger sizes causing more severe DNA damage and increasing the accumulation of pollutants. Additionally, nano-size microplastics significantly inhibit the bacteria responsible for degrading pollutants in earthworms, leading to higher residual concentrations of pollutants.

Microplastic accumulation via trophic transfer: Can a predatory crab counter the adverse effects of microplastics by body defence?

Ting Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that both water filtration and food consumption contribute to the accumulation of microplastics in the predatory marine crab. However, biomagnification of microplastics through consumption of contaminated mussels did not occur. The crabs upregulated detoxification and antioxidant defense mechanisms in response to the accumulation of microplastics, but these mechanisms collapsed when the concentration of microplastics exceeded a certain threshold.
