After 36 days of composting agricultural waste and sediment, the pile underwent enhanced migration with UW, 0.1 M CA, and 0.1 M EDTA. UW increased pH and C/N ratio while reducing total nitrogen (TN) and dehydrogenase activity (DA). In contrast, CA and EDTA reduced pH, TN, and DA, with EDTA also increasing organic matter and TN. The difference in liquid media also influenced the evolution of humic substances (HS). UW reduced HS, fulvic acid, and humic acid, while CA and EDTA enhanced their production, likely due to Fenton-like reactions promoted by chelates formed between EDTA/CA and Fe²⁺, breaking down lignin, and generating HS precursors. Regarding HM removal, EDTA-enhanced migration proved most effective, achieving 38.08% and 51.15% removal of Cr and Cd, respectively. This was attributed to the strong chelating ability of EDTA, forming stable metal complexes that were removed with the liquid media. The enhanced migration also caused a redistribution of HM speciations, with an increase in residual fractions and a decrease in exchangeable and reducible fractions. Overall, the study shows that the EDTA-enhanced migration in compost could combine the passivation and removal in the treatment of heavy metal pollution, which provides a new strategy to remediate the sediments contaminated by HMs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"235 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142672730","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}

Adsorption, as an efficient process for wastewater treatment. For the adsorption process, the adsorbent was the key parameter. Manganese oxides have strong specific adsorption and catalytic oxidation capacity for Mn(II). Serpentine loading was an effective way to improve the dispersion of manganese oxides and the adsorption efficiency of heavy metals. This study aimed to remove dissolved Mn(II) from groundwater using a raw serpentine modified with manganese oxide (Srp/MO). SEM, EDS, XRD, BET and XPS were used to characterize the physicochemical properties and characteristic groups of the serpentine before and after loading. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on Box-Behnken method was used to design the experiment to optimize the effects of dosage, oscillation rate and reaction time on manganese removal. The results show that after modification, the pores of serpentine become larger, the surface becomes smooth and loose, the basic skeleton has no obvious change, the specific surface area increases, and the total pore volume decreases. The adsorption behavior of Mn(II) by Srp/MO follows Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption rate of Mn(II) in water by Srp/MO was 34.88 mg/g, which was 7.6 times that of the raw serpentine. The primary mechanism for Mn(II) removal by Srp/MO was based on physical adsorption and mediated by Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ species. The optimal manganese removal conditions were as follows: Srp/MO dosage 80 mg/L, oscillation rate 180 r/min, reaction time 104 min. At this time, the manganese removal rate was 99.3%, which was basically consistent with 100% predicted by the model. A regeneration study over three cycles indicated that Srp/MO possessed promising reusability potential. In conclusion, Srp/MO was an excellent adsorption material for the removal of Mn(II) in groundwater, which provides a new solution for the purification treatment of manganese containing groundwater.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"235 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142664480","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 most recent developments in the field of MXene-based membranes, from synthesis to fabrication and application, are reviewed in this article. The manufacture of MXene membranes and their applications in membrane separation were explored in detail. The discovery and properties of MXene were briefly reviewed first, and then new developments in MXene production methods were discussed. Subsequently, the properties and methods of manufacture and integration of versatile membranes based on MXene were explored. The most recent developments in water treatment applications, such as wastewater purification, oil/water separation, and desalination, were also covered in-depth. The durability and stability of membranes based on MXene were thoroughly discussed from many perspectives, revealing that these membranes can achieve filtration efficiency of over 99% for various contaminants, such as heavy metals and organic pollutants. Additionally, Durability tests demonstrate that these membranes retain their structural integrity and performance even after extended exposure to harsh chemical environments and many filtration cycles. Comparative studies demonstrate that MXene membranes surpass unmodified membranes, in terms of both flux and pollutant removal efficiency.
