Summary: Phosphorus control is crucial for mitigating water eutrophication and addressing the scarcity of phosphorus resources. A novel nanocomposite, HNdO-PsAX, was developed for selective removal of phosphate. It exhibited stable and efficient phosphate adsorption over a wide pH range and outperformed the commercial lanthanum-based adsorbent, Phoslock. The specific Nd-P inner-sphere complexation in HNdO-PsAX contributed to its superior affinity towards phosphate. Fixed-bed treatment showed its high capacity for treating wastewater, and the feasibility of regeneration was recognized.

Summary: In this study, porous hyper-crosslinked Bisphenol F (PHCP-BF) was synthesized through a one-step reaction and used for the removal of U(VI) from wastewater. The maximum adsorption capacity of uranium on PHCP-BF reached 120 mg/g (at pH 7), which is twice than that of the original material. The mechanism of uranium removal was found to be the chelation of P = O with U (VI). The results suggest that PHCP-BF can be an effective adsorbent for uranium removal.

Summary: Macroscopic batch experiments and microscopic spectroscopic characterization were employed to study the phosphate adsorption process onto lanthanum hydroxide adsorbent. The results showed that the relatively low La release after phosphate adsorption suggested the formation of surface co-precipitation of lanthanum phosphate.

Summary: Heavy metal ions in water pose significant risks to the biological system. Adsorption by nanomaterials, such as chitosan-based AgNPs/GO, is an effective method for removing heavy metal ions. This study investigated the optimal conditions for adsorption and tested different isotherms. The results showed that the adsorption capacity could be restored by washing the adsorbent with acid, but its effectiveness decreased after multiple cycles.

Summary: Immobilization of enzymes within metal-organic frameworks can enhance their long-term usability, but it often leads to a trade-off between stability and activity. This study shows that the trade-off can be solved by controlling defects through competitive coordination. The biocomposites collected before recrystallization exhibit increased activity and enhanced stability.

Summary: In this study, a novel octahedral carbon -encapsulated zirconium oxide catalyst (ZrO2-C) was developed with large specific surface area, highly-dispersed sub-5 nm active sites, and strong metal-support interactions. The catalyst exhibited excellent performance for peroxymonosulfate activation, and a two-step catalytic mechanism was proposed. The study also demonstrated the high selectivity of the catalytic process towards electron-rich compounds, with only those organics with EHOMO values higher than ca.-6.52 eV being oxidized. Overall, this research provides mechanistic insights into the catalytic selectivity of Zr-based catalysts and advances their further application in Fenton-like systems.

Summary: Antimicrobial transformation products (ATPs) in the environment have become a significant concern due to their potential health risks. However, limited research has been conducted on ATPs, and the transformation pathways of most antimicrobials remain unclear. This study used a non-target screening strategy based on molecular networks to identify ATPs in pharmaceutical wastewater and discovered 52 antimicrobials and 49 transformation products. Among them, 30 transformation products were previously unreported in the environment. Based on recent European criteria, the persistence, mobility, and toxicity (PMT) assessment of the transformation products revealed that 47 of them were potential PMT substances. These findings emphasize the need for further research on novel ATPs. A non-target screening strategy combining molecular networks and in silico tools for structure annotation was proposed, which identified novel ATPs with similar PMT characteristics as their parent antimicrobials.

Summary: The surface properties and microstructure of graphene oxide (GO) membranes can be regulated to enhance nanofiltration performance. The surface hydrophilicity and zeta potential of GO membranes can be adjusted by alkaline treatment time, and the presence of tiny defects in GO sheets can increase the number of pores and decrease the length of water nanochannels. These adjustments enable GO membranes to exhibit fast and selective water permeation, demonstrating excellent nanofiltration performance.

Summary: The Fe(III)/H2O2 system showed high efficiency in remediation of tetracycline (TC) in water, even faster than the Fe(II)/H2O2 system. TC also initiated the degradation of other refractory pollutants. Complexation between Fe(III) and TC was observed with a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 and electron transfer from TC to Fe(III) resulted in the production of Fe(II), which served as the initiator of the Fenton reaction. The main reactive species was found to be .center dot OH, facilitating the hydroxylation of TC and the reductive transformation of Fe(III) to Fe(II).

Summary: In this study, the evolving role of calcium ion (Ca2+) on phosphate removal by nanosized hydrated lanthanum oxides confined in cross-linked polystyrene beads was investigated. The presence of Ca2+ initially enhances the phosphate uptake by the adsorbent, but with ongoing cyclic runs, the role of Ca2+ becomes negative. The formed Ca-P precipitates accumulate on the surface of the nanoparticles and deplete the active adsorptive sites, leading to the formation of irreversible LaPO4 center dot xH(2)O under nanoconfinement.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
