Investigation on Methylene Blue Dye Adsorption in Aqueous by the Modified Mussel Shells: Optimization, Kinetic, Thermodynamic and Equilibrium Studies
This study assessed the methylene blue adsorption using natural and modified mussel shell powders in the aqueous solution. The mussel shell samples were processed in a NaClO solution then modified with sodium dodecyl sulfate and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The characteristics of mussel shell samples before and after modification were demonstrated using infared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, energy dispersive X-ray, water contact angle, and dynamic light scattering methods. Some factors such as the pH of the medium, adsorption temperature, and ads...

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 16. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29730-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA binary AgI/ Ag2WO4 photocatalyst was fabricated and characterized by SEM, XRD, UV-Vis DRS, and FT-IR. It was then used to photodegrade sodium ceftriaxone (CTX) in an aqueous solution. The band gap energies of 2.95, 2.78, and 2.62 eV were obtained by the Kubelka-Munk model for Ag2WO4, AgI, and AgI/Ag2WO4 catalysts. The samples have pHPZC values of 6.9, 4.2, and 6.6, respectively. The synergistic photocatalytic activity of the coupled system depended on the AgI:Ag2WO4 mole ratio and grinding time (optimums:mole ratio of ...

Synthesis of two-dimensional triazine covalent organic frameworks at ambient conditions to detect and remove water pollutants
Environ Res. 2023 Sep 11:117078. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117078. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSynthesis of fully triazine frameworks (C3N3) by metal catalyzed reactions at high temperatures results in carbonized and less-defined structures. Moreover, metal impurities affect the physicochemical, optical and electrical properties of the synthesized frameworks, dramatically. In this work, two-dimensional C3N3 (2DC3N3) has been synthesized by in situ catalyst-free copolymerization of sodium cyanide and cyanuric chloride, as cheap and commercially available precursors, at ambient conditions on gram scale. Reaction between s...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe aim of the study was to utilize the waste generated from Bullseye (Priacanthus hamrur) fish processing to recuperate proteins. Considering the cost-effectiveness, versatility, and color improvement after the pH shift method, proteins from this waste were extracted by the pH shift method using hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. The properties of extracted proteins were studied in detail. During the protein solubility measurement, maximum solubilization was found at pH 3.0 (13.10 mg/mL) on the acidic side and pH 1...

Investigating the effects of irrigation with indirectly recharged groundwater using recycled water on soil and crops in semi-arid areas
Environ Pollut. 2023 Sep 8:122516. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122516. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe utilization of direct wastewater for irrigation poses many environmental problems such as soil quality deterioration due to the accumulation of salts, heavy metals, micro-pollutants, and health risks due to undesirable microorganisms. This hampers its agricultural reuse in arid and semi-arid regions. To address these concerns, the present study introduces a recent approach that involves using indirectly recharged groundwater (GW) with secondary treated municipal wastewater (STW) for irrigation through a Soil Aquifer Trea...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe environmental toxicant arsenic causes various human diseases and threatens millions of people worldwide. Recently, a limited number of studies have revealed that exposure to arsenic is associated with thyroid dysfunction, indicating its toxicological impact on the thyroid gland, however, its precise forms of damage and underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we sought to observe the thyrotoxicity of sodium arsenite (NaAsO2) on human thyroid follicular epithelial cells (Nthy-ori 3-1) and SD rats, a...

Treatment of salt from hides curing stage by electrocoagulation for use in the pickling stage of the tanning industry
Environ Res. 2023 Sep 6:117095. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117095. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe raw materials for the tanning industry, namely hides and skins, are preserved (curing stage) and carried with common salt, i.e., sodium chloride (NaCl). Proceeding to conversion into leather, pickling is a key stage of the tannery process, which entails high demand of water and salt. In this work, the salt-derived brine (SdB) generated from the curing of hides was treated by iron-driven electrocoagulation (EC), aiming at its later application in the pickling stage of the tanning industry, promoting a transition to zero wast...

Valorization of a poultry industry floated sludge as a raw material to produce char and activated carbon for pharmaceutical compounds adsorption
This study was intended to valorize a floated sludge of a poultry slaughterhouse using it as a precursor to producing char and activated carbon, which were tested as adsorbents in removing ketoprofen and diclofenac sodium from the water. The addition of zinc chloride or calcium hydroxide was determinant for forming a porous carbonaceous structure with a high surface area in AC-FSP (656.54 m2 g-1), differently from that exhibited by the CHAR-FSP (8.11 m2 g-1). Kinetic and equilibrium studies indicated that the pseudo-second-order and the Sips models were suitable. The AC- FSP maximum adsorption capacity for ketoprofen and d...

Characterization of airborne particulate matter and its toxic and proarrhythmic effects: A case study in Aburr á Valley, Colombia
This study characterized the PM collected from the north, south, and central zones to evaluate its chemical composition and morphology. Different elements such as silicon, carbon, aluminum, potassium, calcium, sodium, iron, magnesium, and copper and the presence of unburned fuel, motor oil, and silicon fibers were identified. In vitro and in silico studies were conducted to evaluate the toxicity of the PM, and it was found that the PM collected from the central zone had the greatest impact on cell viability and caused DNA damage. The in silico study demonstrated that PM has concentration-dependent proarrhythmic effects, re...
