Fourier Transform Infrared analysis revealed diverse functional groups contributing to the material's hydrophilic nature and adsorption potential. Scanning electron microscopy images confirmed a porous, fibrous structure that transformed post-adsorption, indicating successful dye uptake. X-ray diffraction analysis identified crystalline cellulose forms enhancing adsorption stability, while energy dispersive X-ray analysis confirmed a significant increase in carbon content and incorporation of CV dye elements. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis highlighted a moderate surface area of 6.42 m2/g, suitable for external adsorption processes. Kinetic studies revealed that adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 70 min, with a second-order model providing the best fit, indicating chemisorption. Optimal adsorption occurred at a biosorbent dose of 0.08 g, with efficiency diminishing at higher CV concentrations due to site saturation. Adsorption was most effective above the point of zero charge (pH 5.4), with temperature increases further enhancing adsorption capacity. Langmuir isotherm analysis suggested monolayer adsorption on a homogenous surface. The maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was determined to be 44.24 and 66, 28 mg/g in the linear and nonlinear forms, respectively, highlighting its significant potential for the efficient removal of CV dye from aqueous solutions. Thermodynamic evaluations confirmed an endothermic and spontaneous process. Statistical modeling validated the system's reliability, offering a predictive framework for optimizing conditions. This work establishes Olea oleaster residue as a promising eco-friendly adsorbent for wastewater treatment.","PeriodicalId":14235,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Phytoremediation","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143605060","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}

Response Surface Regression Analysis was used for data analysis to identify optimal input factors. Results revealed that TiO2 nanoparticles significantly improved the efficiency of phytoremediation by increasing Cd uptake. Cd absorption rates were predicted using machine learning models, and their performance was evaluated using R2 and MSE metrics. Moreover, the Genetic Algorithm (GA) was employed to minimize MSE between predicted and actual Cd absorption values. Ceratophyllum demersum showed an absorption capacity of 99.58%, with a remaining Cd concentration as low as 0.0199 mg/L. The Gaussian Process Regressor (GPR) was the most accurate predictive model with an R2 of 0.99 and MSE of 0.07. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) further optimized the process, identifying optimal NP concentration, Cd concentration, and treatment time.

Fluoride contamination in water poses a significant global health and environmental challenge, particularly in regions where natural and industrial activities lead to elevated fluoride levels. Among its varied applications, B. alba has shown significant promise in the phytoremediation of contaminants in both water and soil, owing to its hyper accumulating capacities. The plant has a transfer factor value of more than 1 which means that there is higher accumulation of contaminants in parts of the plant than in soil. The objective of this review is to assess the feasibility of B. alba in contributing to sustainable water management solutions for fluoride contamination, while offering a comprehensive evaluation of its environmental remediation potential. The article examines the biosorption capabilities of B. alba based on its established use in phytoremediation, offering insights into its suitability for addressing fluoride contamination in water. This article is organized into sections starting with an introduction, which brings explains the global challenge of fluoride, and different treatment techniques justifying why biosorption needs to be considered, cases of application of phytoremediation using B.
