In this study, graphene (ESG) and graphene@ZnO@MnO₂ nanocomposite (ESG@ZnO@MnO₂) were synthesized via electrochemical exfoliation and comparatively evaluated for CIP removal from aqueous solution. Characterization results confirmed the successful incorporation of ZnO and MnO₂ onto graphene sheets and revealed enhanced surface properties of the nanocomposite. ESG@ZnO@MnO₂ exhibited a higher specific surface area (56.28 m² g⁻¹) than ESG (37.54 m² g⁻¹). The removal efficiency was strongly dependent on solution pH, reaching optimal performance at pH 7. Kinetic data were well fitted by the pseudo-second-order model, suggesting that surface interactions played an important role in the adsorption process. Equilibrium data were best described by the Sips isotherm model, indicating energetically heterogeneous adsorption sites. Under identical conditions, the Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity of ESG@ZnO@MnO₂ (131.58 mg g⁻¹) was nearly double that of ESG (66.98 mg g⁻¹), reflecting the combined contribution of graphene and metal oxide components toward enhanced CIP removal. Thermodynamic analysis indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. Mechanistic analysis suggested that weak electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, π–π interactions, and possible coordination with surface metal oxide sites collectively contributed to CIP adsorption. In addition, ESG@ZnO@MnO₂ retained 80.65% of its removal efficiency after five regeneration cycles, demonstrating good stability and reusability. These findings demonstrate that electrochemically synthesized graphene-based nanocomposites are promising and environmentally friendly adsorbents for the efficient removal of antibiotic contaminants from water.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"237 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149189378","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}

The resulting mixture was introduced dropwise into a CaCl₂ crosslinking solution using a syringe-assisted dripping technique to produce ZnO NP-loaded microbeads. The synthesized ZnO NPs were characterized by UV–Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), while the structural and thermal properties of the prepared microbeads were analyzed using ATR-IR, SEM–EDX, XRD, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption performance of the ZnO NP-reinforced SA/PVP microbeads toward MB was evaluated by investigating the effects of ZnO loading, initial dye concentration, pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and temperature. Under optimal conditions (pH 7–8, adsorbent dosage 16.4 mg, temperature 313 K, and contact time 6 h), the maximum MB removal efficiency reached 83.85%. Adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order model, while equilibrium data were best described by the Freundlich isotherm model, with a Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity of 29.76 mg g⁻¹. Thermodynamic analysis indicated that the adsorption process was endothermic and thermally assisted. Moreover, the suggested microbeads exhibited the high reusability and adsorption rate (∼93%) without significant loss after sixth adsorption–desorption cycles. The adsorption mechanism was mainly governed by electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and van der Waals forces between MB molecules and functional groups of the ZnO NP-reinforced SA/PVP microbeads.

The composite amendment prepared at the optimal mass ratio of diatomite, biochar, gypsum, magnesium hydroxide, and soil (5:6:1:1.45:103, designated as EK) significantly improved soil physicochemical properties: water saturation increased by 14.71%, whereas daily evaporation decreased by 23.33%.

Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy results showed that the chemical modification process altered the surface functional groups, as evidenced by shifts in the functional group peak intensities of the modified bio-adsorbents compared to those of the unmodified bio-adsorbent before adsorption. After the adsorption process, a reduction in peak intensities was observed due to adsorption interactions with metal ions. Scanning electron microscopy revealed an irregular and multi-layered surface with interconnected pore network structures of all assessed bio-adsorbents. However, sodium bicarbonate modified cannabis appeared to be more porous than both bio-adsorbents. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy identified carbon and oxygen as the major elemental components of the bio-adsorbents. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy revealed that the sodium bicarbonate modified bio-adsorbent exhibited a more crystalline form, while thermogravimetric analysis showed that it was more stable than glycine and raw cannabis biomaterial. These findings indicate that bio-adsorbents exhibit an enhanced adsorption capacity, whilst sodium bicarbonate modified cannabis is expected to perform better than the other bio-adsorbents. A batch adsorption method was employed and assessed by varying solution pH, temperature, mass dosage, initial metal concentration, and contact time in a binary system. The optimal adsorption conditions were determined to be a solution pH of 7, reaction time of 10 min, mass dosage of 10 mg, an initial adsorbate concentration of 10 mg/L, and an adsorption temperature of 25 ºC.

The objective is to reduce water pollution to the recommended standard limits for potential reuse in agriculture and industrial processes, using a simple, low-cost, and locally available filter medium. Particular attention is also given to the critical role of filter media characteristics in filtration efficiency. Through granular analysis of particle size distribution, the effective diameter of the sand was 0.5 mm. The filter performance and removal efficiency of water quality parameters were evaluated using secondary treated wastewater collected from the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) of Beni Merad. The initial physical and chemical characteristics of the wastewater were: total suspended solids (TSS) 132 mg/L, turbidity 10.2 NTU, chemical oxygen demand (COD) 128 mg O₂/L, and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD_<b>5</b>) 95 mg O₂/L.

These findings show that local sand filtration can significantly improve the physicochemical quality of secondary treated wastewater, especially by reducing suspended solids, turbidity, and organic pollution.

After 16 h of operation, head loss reached its maximum value of 0.61 m, indicating substantial hydraulic resistance and the onset of a backwashing requirement under the operating conditions used in this study and the filter was restarted for an additional 6 h. The main mechanisms governing sand filtration were sedimentation, mechanical trapping, particle accumulation within the filter bed, and adsorption onto sand grains.
