The material’s core–shell structure integrates Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles with a carbon matrix, functionalized by dopamine to enhance hydrophilicity and stability. Comprehensive characterization confirmed successful dopamine grafting, yielding a superparamagnetic adsorbent (41.0 emu/g). The adsorbent demonstrated exceptional performance for ciprofloxacin (CIP) and tetracycline (TC), achieving maximum capacities of 42.5 mg/g (CIP) and 28.4 mg/g (TC). Kinetic studies revealed rapid equilibration within 8 h (CIP) and 6 h (TC), well-described by pseudo-second-order kinetics (R² &gt; 0.999), while Langmuir isotherms (R² &gt; 0.98) indicated monolayer chemisorption dominated by hydrogen bonding, π-π interactions, and electrostatic attraction.

{"title":"Optimizing Oil-Contaminated Wastewater Purification with Aluminum Coagulants","authors":"Valerija Gruzinova,&nbsp;Valentin Romanovski","doi":"10.1007/s11270-025-07928-w","DOIUrl":"10.1007/s11270-025-07928-w","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>The study aimed to optimize the coagulation parameters for treating oil-contaminated wastewater using aluminum coagulants, specifically aluminum sulfate and aluminum hydroxychloride. Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficiency and behavior of these coagulants under various conditions. Results showed that the slow hydrolysis and low dissociation rate of aluminum sulfate prolonged floc formation and sedimentation time, creating fine flocs with low hydraulic size that contributed to secondary water pollution. In contrast, aluminum hydroxychloride formed larger, more porous flocs with higher hydraulic size, resulting in faster sedimentation and more efficient removal of oil contaminants. The sedimentation time remained consistent (67–72 min) with aluminum hydroxychloride, whereas it increased significantly (125–229 min) with aluminum sulfate, indicating the latter’s lower efficiency due to the formation of small, suspended flocs. Moreover, aluminum hydroxychloride showed a reduced tendency to lower the pH of the treated water, suggesting a more complete hydrolysis process compared to aluminum sulfate. Experimental findings established that using aluminum hydroxychloride increased coagulation and sedimentation rates by 2–3 times, reduced sediment volume by 1.5 times, and enhanced pollutant removal efficiency, achieving 98.6% removal of suspended solids and 93.6% removal of oil products. Optimal coagulation conditions were identified as a coagulant dose of 21 mg/L, coagulation time of 10 min, and settling time of 60 min. A key contribution of this work is the establishment of regression equations and correlation coefficients that quantitatively describe the relationships between critical process parameters, such as coagulant dose, coagulation time, initial concentration of oil products and suspended solids, and pollutant removal efficiency. The study concludes that aluminum hydroxychloride is a superior coagulant for oil-contaminated wastewater treatment, providing faster, more effective, and stable purification performance compared to aluminum sulfate.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"236 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11270-025-07928-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143740958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2022, 14 surface water (&lt; 0.20 m) samples were collected with a trawl net called NOIVA. Each trawl was carried out at a speed of 5 km/h, for 5 min, always on the neap tide, along the Paranaguá Estuary Complex (PEC). In the laboratory the samples were sieved through 1 mm stainless steel mesh. The items were visually inspected through a stereomicroscope to select potential microplastics. The hot needle test and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared was applied to confirm the composition of items. Statistical analyses were performed (PERMANOVA and CAP). A total of 40 MPs were found in all sectors. Fragments are the most frequent (70%). Secondary MPs represented 95% of the items, among which the most common are 3–4 mm large (35%) and white (27.5%) particles. Polypropylene (PP) was the most common type (42.5%). The average concentration of MPs in the PEC (0.149 ± 0.37 mp/m3) is comparable to that found in other estuaries. Estuarine litter windrows (ELWs) play an important role in the accumulation of floating MPs in the PEC (1.42 mp/m3). The omnipresence of MPs at a World Heritage Site is alarming.

The study uses the AERMOD dispersion model to predict the ground-level atmospheric TVOC emissions over 1-h, 8-h, 24-h, and annual periods under average and peak flow-rate scenarios. The effects of winter and summer seasons on TVOC dispersion were also analyzed by generating seasonal dispersion maps. The significant findings indicate that maximum TVOC concentrations are confined within the Dhahran North Sewage Treatment Plant (NSTP) area, attributed to low release heights from aeration and settling tanks. TVOC concentrations during the summer were approximately 6.8% higher than the annual average due to lower wind speeds, while winter winds enhanced dispersion, resulting in an 8.7% decrease in TVOC concentrations. The study shows that TVOC levels decrease with distance from the source, following linear and logarithmic patterns. Comparison with wastewater treatment plants in other regions demonstrates that Dhahran NSTP has lower TVOC concentrations, highlighting the influence of influent characteristics on emission levels. The strong correlation between influent flowrate and TVOC concentrations reinforces the consistency of the findings with similar facilities. The study findings indicate that the predicted atmospheric dispersion of TVOC from Dhahran NSTP may not pose a health risk to treatment plant employees and the public residing within the selected receptor domain. This supports the efficacy of the implemented air quality management practices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"236 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143740960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These bacteria can reduce sulfate to sulfide under anaerobic conditions and the sulfide formed can react with metal ions in water, creating insoluble precipitates. This paper systematically reviews the different treatment systems and approaches explored for applying SRB in AMD treatment. The review followed PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) methodology and included 16 articles published between 1995 and 2024. The main bacteria identified were <i>Desulfosporosinus</i>, <i>Desulfovibrio</i>, and <i>Desulfotomaculum</i>. Researchers used environmental samples of AMD and acidic solutions prepared in laboratory and most studies proposed bioreactors, although research on in situ bioremediation and permeable reactive barriers was also found. Sulfate reduction efficiencies ranged from 74.8% to 100.0% and the systems also showed high efficiency for removing metals and metalloids such as iron (Fe), copper (Cu), arsenic (As), and mainly zinc (Zn). Advantages include efficiency, versatility, low cost compared to conventional treatments, possibility of using waste-derived resources as a carbon source for bacteria, and potential for the recovery of metals in a commercially viable form. The main challenges are related to sensitivity of the bacteria to acidic environments and high metal(loid) concentrations. Future studies should explore optimization of processes under different environmental conditions and treatment systems with environmental samples of AMD from different types of mining and locations. Nevertheless, significant advances have been made on the use of SRB for AMD treatment, making it a promising remediation technique.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"236 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143740777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
