Synergistic effects of Co-pyrolysis on the immobilization and transformation of lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), and fluorine (F) in phosphogypsum-biomass mixtures.

Co-pyrolysis of biomass with phosphogypsum (PG) presents an effective strategy for facilitating the recycling of PG resources. However, it is crucial to note the environmental threats arising from the presence of Pb, Cr, Ni, and F in PG. This study investigated the effect of immobilization and transformation of four elements during co-pyrolysis with biomass and its components. The co-pyrolysis experiments were carried out in a tube furnace with a mixture of PG and corn stover (CS), cellulose (C), lignin (L), glucose (G). Co-pyrolysis occurred at varying temperatures (600 °C, 700 °C, 800 °C, and 900 °C) and different addition ratios (10%, 15%, and 20%). The results indicated that an increase in co-pyrolysis temperature was more conducive to the immobilization and transformation of harmful elements in PG, demonstrating significant efficacy in controlling F. Additionally, the addition of biomass components exerts a significant impact on inhibiting product toxicity, with small molecules such as glucose playing a prominent role in this process. The mechanism underlying the control of harmful elements during co-pyrolysis of PG and biomass was characterized by three main aspects. Firstly, biomass components have the potential to melt-encapsulate the harmful elements in PG, leading to precipitation. Secondly, the pyrolysis gas produced during the co-pyrolysis process contributes to the formation of a rich pore structure in the product. Finally, this process aids in transforming hazardous substances into less harmful forms and stabilizing these elements. The findings of this study are instrumental in optimizing the biomass and PG blend to mitigate the environmental impact of their co-pyrolysis products.

Preparation of ionic liquid modified graphene composites and their adsorption mechanism of arsenic (V) in aqueous solution.

Graphene (GR) is a new type of carbon-based material that combines many excellent properties. In order to give full play to the excellent properties of graphene and expand its application scope, this study used ionic liquid SbF6 to modify it and successfully prepared ionic liquid modified graphene composites (H/GR), and studied its adsorption mechanism of arsenic in aqueous solution. By investigating the effects of reaction temperature, reaction time, pH, adsorbent (H/GR) dosage, and humic acid concentration on the removal rate of arsenic in aqueous solution, the experimental results showed that when the reaction temperature was 30 °C, reaction time was 1 h, pH was 6, H/GR dosage was 0.1g·L-1, and humic acid (HA) concentration was 10 mg·L-1, the best arsenic removal effect was achieved with a maximum. The removal rate was 99.4%. The equilibrium adsorption capacity was well modeled by the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Tenkin models at 30 °C. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm was the most consistent, with a calculated maximum value of 137.95 mg·g-1, which is higher than most adsorbents in the field. In addition, it was determined that the graphene surface was indeed immobilized with the ionic liquid [Hmim]SbF6 by SEM mapping and EDS energy spectroscopy observation, and the adsorption isotherms and pore size distribution maps of graphene before and after the loading of the ionic liquid were analyzed by BET, which further confirmed a significant increase in the microporosity and porosity of the modified H/GR, and furthermore, it was demonstrated that the arsenic ions are chemically bonded with and indeed adsorbed on the surface of the H/GR by FT-IR and XPS characterization analyses. The results of all experimental data studies indicate that the main mechanism of As(V) removal from water by H/GR is due to electrostatic adsorption, ion exchange, and complexation between the modified graphene itself and the ionic liquid [Hmim]SbF6 itself.

Recycling and reutilization of smelting dust as a secondary resource: A review.

Smelting dust is a toxic waste produced in metal-mineral pyrometallurgical processes. To eliminate or reduce the adverse environmental impacts of smelting dust, valuable components need to be selectively separated from the toxic components present in the waste. This paper reviews the chemical composition, phase composition and particle size distribution characteristics of smelting dust, and the results show that smelting dust has excellent physicochemical characteristics for recovering valuable metals. The process flow, critical factors, development status, advantages and disadvantages of traditional technologies such as pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy and biometallurgy were discussed in depth. Conventional treatment methods typically prioritize separating and reclaiming specific elements with high concentrations. However, these methods face challenges such as excessive chemical usage and limited selectivity, which can hinder the sustainable utilization of smelting dust. With the increasing scarcity of resources and strict environmental requirements, a single treatment process can hardly fulfil the demand, and a physical field-enhanced technology for releasing and separating valuable metals is proposed. Through analysing the effect of electric field, microwave and ultrasound on recovering valuable metals from smelting dust, the enhancement mechanism of physical field on the extraction process was clarified. This paper aimed to provide reference for the resource utilization of smelting dust.

Study on the mechanism of rapid degradation of Rhodamine B with Fe/Cu@antimony tailing nano catalytic particle electrode in a three dimensional electrochemical reactor.

A novel particle electrode based on antimony tailings microspheres was successfully constructed by ultrasonic immersion calcination method, and the degradation of RhB was studied in a three-dimensional electrochemical reactor (3DER). It was characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, XPS, cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry. When the pH value is 5.00, the dosage of Fe/Cu@antimony tailing is 1.50 g/L, the initial concentration is 100 mg/L, and the current density is 20 mA/cm2, the degradation efficiency is the best (99.40% for RhB and 98.81% for TOC) within 15 min. The results show that in the three-dimensional electrochemical oxidation system, electrochemical oxidation and electro Fenton oxidation occur at the same time to cause the increase of hydroxyl radicals. According to LC-MS analysis and EPR characterization, it can be found that the main degradation mechanism of RhB is that hydroxyl radicals continuously attack RhB, and realize rapid degradation of RhB through deethylation, deamination, dealkylation, decarboxylation, chromophore splitting, ring opening and mineralization. Fe/Cu@antimony tailing particles are both electrodes for electrochemical oxidation and catalysts for Fenton oxidation. The degradation effect of RhB remained at 94% after 6 cycles, and the leaching rates of Fe and Cu are only 1.20% and 0.79%, indicating that Fe/Cu@AT had significant stability. This work provides a new insight into the establishment of an efficient and stable three-dimensional electrocatalytic particle electrode.

Soilization utilization of solid waste: Ecological regulation of phosphorus tailings-based soil with physicochemical improvement and Bacillus_cereus-addition.

Extraction and utilization of effective phosphorus from solid waste have been an important approach for alleviating phosphorus resource shortage. The extraction of available phosphorus by microbial method with low cost, mild conditions and simple process has been drawing attention from the majority of research scholars. However, relevant studies on special microbial communities for effective phosphorus extraction from solid waste are less. In this work，a functional Bacillus_cereus strain screened from phosphate tailings, phosphate ore and forest rhizosphere soil was inoculated into phosphate tailings (PT), modified phosphate tailings (IS) and highland red soil (SS). Compared with SS, the water-holding properties, fertility, leaching toxicity and microbial community diversity of PT and IS with and without bacteria were analyzed. PT+, SS+ and IS+ (after adding bacteria to PT, SS and IS) showed moderately alkaline pH, and the available phosphorus content enhanced by 31.73%, 20.05% and 39.41% respectively. The leaching toxicity phosphate of PT+ and IS + decreased by 4.89 mg/kg and 2.61 mg/kg respectively, while that of SS + increased by 5.45 mg/kg, indicating differences in the phosphorus solubilization mechanism of Bacillus_cereus for different soils. Furthermore, the modification and bacteria treatment improved the relative abundance of Pedobacter, Alcaligenaceae and Pseudomonas, thus enhancing the phosphorus solubility of the PT bacterial community. This work may achieve efficient utilization and ecological restoration of phosphorus tailings-based soil and contribute to long-term sustainable agricultural development.

Responses of applied voltages on the archaea microbial distribution in sludge digestion.

As the development of urban population led to the increase of domestic water consumption, consequently the generation of surplus sludge (SS) produced increasingly during sewage treatment processes. In order to enhance the SS resource utilization efficiency, an electricity-assisted anaerobic digestion (EAAD) system was employed to examine the alterations in the digestion broth and the characteristics of gas production. Additionally, the response of applied voltages on the distribution of archaeal community near various electrodes within the sludge was explored. The results revealed that the application of high voltages exceeding 3.0 V hindered the CH4 production but stimulated the CO2 generation. Subsequently, both CH4 and CO2 production were impeded by the applied voltages. Furthermore, the increased voltages significantly decreased the abundance of Methanomicrobia, Methanosaeta, and Methanosarcina, which were crucial determinants of CH4 content in biogas. Notably, the excessively high voltages intensities caused the AD process to halt and even inactivate the microbial flora. Interestingly, the distribution characteristics of archaeal community were influenced not only by the voltages intensity but also exhibited variations between the anode and cathode regions. Moreover, as the applied voltage intensified, the discrepancy of responses between the cathode and anode regions became more pronounced, offering novel theoretical and technical foundations for the advancement of electricity-assisted with AD technology.

Simultaneous electrochemical detection of dimethyl bisphenol A and bisphenol A using a novel Pt@SWCNTs-MXene-rGO modified screen-printed sensor.

Since bisphenol A (BPA) and dimethyl bisphenol A (DM-BPA) are human endocrine disruptors (EDCs) with tiny potential differences (44 mV) and widespread applications, there is a lack of published reports on their simultaneous detection. Therefore, this study reports a novel electrochemical detection system capable of simultaneous direct detection of BPA and DM-BPA using screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE) as a sensing platform. To improve the electrochemical performance of the SPCE, the SPCE was modified by using a combination of Pt nanoparticles modified with single-walled carbon nanotubes (Pt@SWCNTs), MXene (Ti3C2), and graphene oxide (GO). In addition, the GO in Pt@SWCNTs-MXene-GO was reduced to reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by the action of electric field (-1.2 V), which significantly improved the electrochemical properties of the composites and effectively solved the problem of dispersion of the modified materials on the electrode surface. Under optimal experimental conditions, Pt@SWCNTs-Ti3C2-rGO/SPCE exhibited a suitable detection range (0.006-7.4 µmol L-1) and low detection limits (2.8 and 3 nmol L-1, S/N = 3) for the simultaneous detection of BPA (0.392 V vs. Ag/AgCl) and DM-BPA (0.436 V vs. Ag/AgCl)). Thus, this study provides new insights into detecting compounds with similar structures and slight potential differences. Finally, the developed sensor's reproducibility, stability, interference resistance and accuracy were demonstrated with satisfactory results.

Customization from Single to Dual Atomic Sites for Efficient Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction to Value-added Chemicals.

In recent years, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have received increasing attention in the field of electrochemical CO2 RR with their efficient atom utilization efficiency and excellent catalytic performance. However, their low metal loading and the presence of linear relationships for single active sites with simple structures possibly restrict their activity and practical applications. Active site tailoring at the atomic level is a visionary approach to break the existing limitations of SACs. This paper first briefly introduces the synthesis strategies of SACs and DACs. Then, combining previous experimental and theoretical studies, this paper introduces four optimization strategies, namely spin-state tuning engineering, axial functionalization engineering, ligand engineering, and substrate tuning engineering, for improving the catalytic performance of SACs in the electrochemical CO2 RR process by combining previous experimental and theoretical studies. Then it is introduced that DACs exhibit significant advantages over SACs in increasing metal atom loading, promoting the adsorption and activation of CO2 molecules, modulating intermediate adsorption, and promoting C-C coupling. At the end of this paper, we briefly and succinctly summarize the main challenges and application prospects of SACs and DACs in the field of electrochemical CO2 RR at present.

The selective and sustainable separation of Cd(II) using C6MImT/[C6MIm]PF6 extractant.

Cadmium has been classified as a kind of human carcinogens, and has a strong mobility in the water environment and this can result in serious harm to human health and environmental safety. Here, a new selective and efficient extraction-recovery strategy for Cd purification is provided by using C6MimT/[C6Mim]PF6 as the green extractant. Due to the high compatibility between C6MimT and [C6Mim]PF6, C6MimT-Cd was efficiently separated from the aqueous phase. When the concentration of Cd(II) was 1000 mg/L, the extraction rate could reached 99.9 %. By comparing [C6MIm]BF4 with [C6MIm]PF6, the hydrophobicity restrained the ion exchange between cation and Cd and significantly reduced the loss of extractant. The extracted Cd(II) was separated in the form of precipitation after stripping. The extraction system of C6MimT/[C6Mim]PF6 was stable after several extraction-stripping cycles. The extraction of Cd(II) by C6MimT/[C6Mim]PF6 system mainly realized by forming a neutral and extractable cadmium complexes between Cd(II) and thione. Based on the natural complexation mechanism between metal and C6MImT, Cd exists as obvious competitive advantage in coordination with C6MimT compare to Pb, Zn, Mg, Cr, Fe. This work overcomes the problems of extractant loss and organic pollution caused by volatile or ion exchange, which can only reduce environmental hazards, but also promote the recovery of cadmium and other valuable resources.

Compared with other types of electrocatalysts, single-atom catalysts (SACs) immobilized on carbon substrates are considered to be promising candidate catalysts. Atomically dispersed SACs exhibit excellent catalytic performance in CO2RR due to their maximum atomic utilization, unique electronic structure, and coordination environment. In this paper, we first briefly introduce the synthetic strategies and characterization techniques of SACs. Then, we focus on the optimization strategies of the atomic structure of carbon-based SACs, including adjusting the coordination atoms and coordination numbers, constructing the axial chemical environment, and regulating the carbon substrate, focusing on exploring the structure-performance relationship of SACs in the CO2RR process. In addition, this paper also briefly introduces the diatomic catalysts (DACs) as an extension of SACs. At the end of the paper, we summarize the article with an exciting outlook discussing the current challenges and prospects for research on the application of SACs in CO2RR.

Chitosan-modified magnetic carbon nanomaterials with high efficiency, controlled motility, and reusability-for removal of chromium ions from real wastewater.

Hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) is one of the most hazardous oxygen-containing anions to human health and the environment. Adsorption is considered to be an effective method for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. Based on an environmental perspective, we used renewable biomass cellulose as carbon source and chitosan as functional material to synthesize chitosan-coated magnetic carbon (MC@CS) material. The synthesized chitosan magnetic carbons were uniform in diameter (~ 20 nm) and contain a large number of abundant hydroxyl and amino functional groups on the surface, meanwhile owning excellent magnetic separation properties. The MC@CS exhibited high adsorption capacity (83.40 mg/g) at pH 3 and excellent cycling regeneration ability when applied to Cr(VI) removal in water, removal rate of Cr(VI) (10 mg/L) was still over 70% after 10 cycles. FT-IR and XPS spectra showed that electrostatic interaction and reduction with Cr(VI) are the main mechanisms of Cr(VI) removal by MC@CS nanomaterial. This work provides an environment-friendly adsorption material that could be reused for the removal of Cr(VI) in multiple cycles.

Fluorine pollution has become one of the key issues of water pollution, and the adsorption materials for efficient removal of fluorine ions have attracted much attention. It is rarely reported that the self-synthesized biomass materials were functionalized by the ß-CD@Ce(NO)3. This paper mainly proposed a new synthetic method of the self-synthesized biomass materials were modified by the ß-CD@Ce(NO)3 and removal of fluorine ions. The effects of this materials on the adsorption efficiency of fluorine ions under different conditions were explored, and the kinetic and thermodynamic simulations were carried out. The results show that the self-synthesized biomass materials were modified by the ß-CD@Ce(NO)3 has significant pore structure, large specific surface area and multi-functional group. Adsorption experiment showed that the reaction reached adsorption equilibrium at 30 min. The removal rate of fluorine ions reached 93.13%, and the fluorine ions adsorption capacity was 37.25 mg/g under neutral conditions. The material can be recycled for more than 5 times, and the adsorption efficiency remains above 94%. The adsorption kinetics accorded with the pseudo second-order model and the adsorption isotherm equation is in line with the Langmuir isotherm adsorption model. PO43- and CO32- have the most impact on fluorine ions adsorption. This method reduces the synthesis cost of high-performance adsorption materials and improves the adsorption performance, which is conducive to the popularization and application in the future.

Aluminium sulfate synergistic electrokinetic separation of soluble components from phosphorus slag and simultaneous stabilization of fluoride.

In this study, fluoride (F) was stabilized and soluble components, namely phosphate (P), K, Ca, Cr, Mn, and Pb, were extracted from phosphorus slag (PS) by using aluminum sulfate (AS) synergistic electrokinetic. PHREEQC simulation was used to determine the occurrence form of each ion in the PS. The mechanisms by which various electrokinetic treatment methods affected conductivity and pH distribution were carefully investigated. Electrokinetic treatment increased P concentration of the anode chamber from 22.7 mg/L to 63.39 mg/L, whereas K concentration increased from 15.26 mg/L to 93.44 mg/L. After AS-enhanced electrokinetic treatments, the concentrations of the different components were as follows: P, 131.66 mg/L; K, 198.2 mg/L; and Ca, 331.3 mg/L. The removal rate of soluble P in PS slices increased to 80.88% by 1.5 V/cm of treatment, and it increased to 94.04% after AS enhancement treatment. For water-soluble F, the removal rate from the PS slices in the anode region was 86.03%, decreasing F concentration in the electrode chamber to 9.57 × 10-3 mg/L. Different extraction efficiencies and stability levels of each component in the PS were regulated at various electrode regions by using different processes such as electromigration, electro-osmotic flow, flocculation, and precipitation. Good results can be obtained if fluoride is solidified concurrently with the removal or recovery of P, K, Ca, and other elements using 2%-4% AS enhanced electrokinetic treatment. Furthermore, CaSO4·2H2O whiskers were produced in the electrode regions when AS content was 6%. The findings of this study indicated that the AS synergistic electrokinetic method is suitable for stabilizing F and removing heavy metals from PS, thus providing a promising technology for recycling valuable components such as P, K, Ca, and Sr and for the simultaneous production of CaSO4·2H2O whiskers. This study provides insights for developing novel technologies for the clean treatment and high-value utilization of PS.
