Summary: Water pollution is a global issue that threatens human health, particularly the safe supply of drinking water. Natural zeolites have shown promise in effectively removing heavy metals from contaminated water sources. This review examines the application of different natural zeolites for removing heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, and nickel. Various chemical modifications of natural zeolites, as well as their sorption capacities and properties, are analyzed and compared. Clinoptilolite, in particular, is the most commonly used natural zeolite for heavy metal removal, demonstrating effectiveness against a range of heavy metals.

Summary: The study revealed that the asphaltene/chitosan composite beads had higher adsorption capacity for metal ions compared to asphaltene alone, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 60-80 mg.g(-1). The adsorption capacity followed the order of Cu(II) > Mn(II) > Zn(II), and the adsorption process was best described by pseudo-second-order kinetics.

Summary: The adsorption mechanism of Fe3+, Al3+, and Cu2+ ions on chitosan films was studied using a heterogeneous monolayer model with two types of binding site at varying temperatures and pH levels. The theoretical results suggested a multi-ionic adsorption process with different contributions from amino and hydroxyl groups, resulting in a wide range of adsorption capacities at saturation. The removal mechanism for Al3+ and Cu2+ ions was found to be exothermic, while the adsorption of Fe3+ ions was endothermic.

Clinoptilolite, a volcanic stone, can capture heavy metals and be used as a food supplement for detox purposes. Clinical studies have shown its detoxifying, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. In an experiment with rats, activated clinoptilolite was found to release metallic toxicants from organs to the bloodstream, indicating a detoxification process.

Summary: In this study, the adsorption mechanisms and composite risks of heavy metals adhered to microplastic surfaces were investigated. The results showed that heavy metals in the plastisphere were influenced by the surrounding matrices and some heavy metals were positively correlated with the specific surface area of the microplastics. Cluster analysis indicated that some heavy metals were derived from anthropogenic sources, suggesting that plastics can adsorb adventive heavy metals. A new composite risk assessment method for heavy metals and microplastics was also established.

Summary: A novel adsorbent for Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solutions was prepared by modifying the 2D Ti3C2/chitosan composite with disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA center dot 2Na) agent. Various characterization methods confirmed the successful loading of chitosan onto Ti3C2. Batch adsorption experiments demonstrated the adsorption performance of the optimal sample, and the adsorption process was analyzed using kinetics and isotherm model. XPS analysis showed reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III), reducing its biological toxicity. The adsorbent exhibited good stability and potential application in Cr(VI)-containing wastewater treatment.

Summary: Water contamination is a growing global issue, and current methods for water and wastewater treatment are limited, especially in terms of difficult regeneration of fossil-fuel derived nano-adsorbents. Advanced methods using sustainable materials like chitosan are needed. Chitosan, a biopolymer extracted from shellfish, is non-toxic, abundant, and chemically stable. It can be shaped into various forms for wastewater treatment. In this review, we focus on chitosan-based beads and their applications in wastewater treatment, including adsorption mechanisms, pollutant removal, functionalization, and regeneration. Notably, chitosan/Fe-hydroxyapatite beads have high adsorption capacity for lead removal, while imprinted magnetic chitosan beads show good reusability for nickel removal.

Summary: The introduction of ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) based on the molecular imprinting methodology has provided an innovative solution for the selective recognition of heavy metal ions (HMIs). Recent advances have demonstrated that IIPs exhibit higher selectivity coefficients, enabling various environmental applications such as extraction, monitoring, detection, and quantification of HMIs. This review critically analyzes relevant literature studies from the past decade, focusing on the selective removal of transition metal ions using IIPs. It discusses the chemical components, ion-imprinting technologies, characterization methods, synthesis parameters, adsorption performance, and solid phase extraction of heavy metal ions by different IIPs.

Summary: This study developed new formulations using dextran and chitosan matrices with fillings of chitosan stearate, citric acid, salicylic acid, or ginger extract. Characterization and evaluation of these materials showed their antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory properties. Compounds in ginger, such as 6-gingerol, inhibit the production of inflammatory substances, while compounds like citric acid and salicylic acid combat oxidative stress and stabilize cell membranes. Adding ginger extract and citric acid to the composites enhances the antioxidant properties, while modified chitosan improves mechanical properties. These composites may have potential medical applications in repairing cell membranes and regulating antioxidant enzyme activities.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of synthesis parameters and natural polyphenolic extract on the mechanical and morphological properties of XG/PVA composite hydrogels. The results showed that the compression and rheological properties were correlated with the swelling behavior, contact angle values, and morphological features. Increasing the number of cryogenic cycles enhanced the network rigidity, while a weight ratio of 1:1 for XG and PVA and a polyphenol content of 10 v/v% resulted in tough and flexible composite films. All composite hydrogels exhibited gel behavior, with the elastic modulus being greater than the viscous modulus.

Summary: The use of polysaccharides with good film-forming properties in food packaging systems is a promising area of research. Xanthan gum (XG), an extracellular polysaccharide, has many industrial uses, but XG-based polymer films have some disadvantages, such as poor mechanical properties and high hydrophilic features. This study aimed to stabilize a XG matrix by cross-linking it with different compounds below the freezing point of the reaction mixture. XG-based cryogels with improved physicochemical properties were successfully prepared using the cryogelation technique.

Summary: This study focused on the semihydrogenation of acetylene in an ethylene-rich stream using two alloyed Pt catalysts PtCu and PtCo. The PtCu catalyst showed higher activity and ethylene yield compared to PtCo due to its higher unoccupied Pt d-orbital density. This indicates that alloying Pt with Cu is more promising for industrial relevant SHA catalyst.

Summary: This work presents a continuous solvent extraction method for the separation of cobalt and nickel in a millifluidic system using Cyphos IL 101 (C101) as the extractant. The optimal conditions for extraction performance and solvent properties were determined by investigating the effects of channel length, flow rate, and temperature. The performance of a developed manifold structure was compared to a single-channel system, and excellent separation results were achieved. The continuous separation process using the manifold structure resulted in high purity cobalt and nickel products.

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.
