Enhanced elimination of Cr(VI) from aqueous media by polyethyleneimine modified corn straw biochar supported sulfide nanoscale zero valent iron: Performance and mechanism

Haoran Tian et al.

Summary: A novel polyethyleneimine modified corn straw biochar supported sulfide nanoscale zero-valent iron (S-nZVI@PBC) was developed to enhance the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous media. The characteristics of S-nZVI@PBC and its mechanism for Cr(VI) removal were explored, and it was found that the adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm model. The primary mechanisms for Cr(VI) removal were adsorption, reduction, and co-precipitation. S-nZVI@PBC showed higher stability and reusability compared to nZVI, making it a promising tool for treating Cr(VI)-containing wastewater.

Cr(VI) adsorption and reduction by magnetite-humic acid adsorption complexes under mildly acidic conditions: Synergistic/antagonistic mechanism and multi-step reaction model

Jingjie Chang et al.

Summary: This study found that magnetite-humic acid adsorption complexes (MHAs) have antagonistic adsorption and synergistic reduction effects on Cr(VI). Raman mapping characterization showed that the surface of MHAs is extremely heterogeneous, consisting of two types of sites. The coverage of magnetite surface by HA depresses its adsorption and reduction, while the HA component at site (A) exhibits synergistic reduction of Cr(VI).

Peng Sun et al.

Summary: This paper reviews the application of biochar-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron composites (nZVI/biochar) in chromium (VI) removal. The study found that the properties of nZVI/biochar materials are influenced by the difference in raw materials and preparation temperature. pH and test temperature affect the surface chemical properties and electron transfer efficiency of the materials. Elemental doping and microbial coupling can enhance the performance of the composites. In conclusion, biochar stabilizes nZVI and enhances electron transfer, enabling efficient removal of Cr(VI) by the composite materials.

Natural source of Cr(VI) in soil: The anoxic oxidation of Cr(III) by Mn oxides

Ming Ao et al.

Summary: Cr(VI) in soils and groundwater is primarily derived from the oxidation of geogenic Cr(III) minerals rather than direct emissions. The oxidation of Cr(III) is mainly facilitated by Mn oxides in anoxic soils and by O-2 in oxic soils. The presence of Mn oxides promotes the oxidative dissolution of chromite even under anoxic conditions. The form of Cr, the abundance of Mn oxides, and the presence of reducing agents control the content of Cr(VI) in soil.
