Environmental contextWater contamination by antibiotics and heavy metals entails potential risks to both the environment and human health. Composite materials based on MgAl-layered double hydroxides and biochar simultaneously adsorbed the toxic sulfamethoxazole and CrVI metal species. These findings indicate that biochar/metal hydroxide composites could be valuable adsorbents for the simultaneous removal of trace antibiotics and metals from water. AbstractWater contamination by antibiotics and heavy metals has drawn wide attention because of the potential risks it poses to both the environment and human health. In this study, a series of adsorbents was successfully synthesised based on MgAl-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and biochar (BC) derived from Pennisetum sinese Roxb. The batch adsorption experiment results showed that the obtained composites could effectively adsorb trace sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and CrVIsimultaneously. The simultaneous adsorption of trace SMX and CrVI are well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Freundlich isotherm models. Characterisation of the composites after adsorption showed that the composites adsorbed SMX mainly by π-π bonds, hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds. Electrostatic interaction, anion exchange, intraparticle diffusion and hydrogen bonding are the main mechanisms for CrVI adsorption onto the composites. This study indicates that the biochar/MgAl layered double hydroxide composites are promising adsorbents for the simultaneous removal of trace antibiotics and CrVI.

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) present multiple applications due to their versatility and reactivity. Thus, Ca–Al LDHs with Friedel’s salt structure (HC) have been proposed as heavy metal scavengers due to their buffering capacity at basic pHs. Nevertheless, the control of the reactivity of LDHs such as HC is necessary to optimize their applications. Here, the reactivity of an HC prepared by a coprecipitation method was modified by its inclusion in calcium alginate (CaAlg) beads prepared by ionic gelation. The obtained beads (CaAlg/HC) showed good dispersion of the HC particles in the alginate matrix and were used to test the acid base reactivity and heavy metal uptake capacity compared with pure CaAlg beads and HC powder separately. The pH buffering capacity of CaAlg beads was enriched by the inclusion of HC that, in turn, was modulated in its reactivity. Thus, the HC dissolution times changed from mere seconds for the powder to tens of minutes when enclosed in the beads in a kinetic profile determined by the diffusive step. On the other hand, Cu2+ uptake capacity of CaAlg/HC beads combined the Cu(OH)2 precipitation capacity of HC with the complexation capacity of alginate, reaching good affinity and capacity for the obtained beads. Nevertheless, the precipitation of the hydroxide was produced outside the bead, which would induce the addition of an additional separation step to produce an acceptable Cu2+ elimination.

Environmental contextNovel materials are increasingly being sought-after to remove metals and organic pollutants from water. We investigated two organo-functionalised montmorillonites for sequential and simultaneous adsorption of lead and bisphenol A. Our findings could lead to new approaches for handling emergency complex pollution events. AbstractOrgano-montmorillonites (OMts) modified by two different carbon chain lengths of betaine were used to remove the combined pollution (heavy metal and organic pollutant) from a water environment, sequentially and simultaneously. The properties of OMts were measured with X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Thermogravimetry-Differential Scanning Calorimetry (TG-DSC). The independent adsorption of a single pollutant, direct sequential adsorption, indirect sequential adsorption and simultaneous adsorption of bisphenol A (BPA) and lead ion (Pb2+) onto OMts were investigated. Initial concentrations, reaction time, solution pH and the release amount of pre-adsorbed contaminant in the sequential sorption system were also investigated for the adsorption behaviours of Pb2+ and BPA. Two kinetic models and two adsorption isotherms were applied to explain the adsorption process. The adsorptive mechanism of BPA adsorption onto OMts was ascribed to a hydrophobic interaction, while the mechanism for Pb2+ adsorption was attributed to cation exchange, surface adsorption, electrostatic attraction and complexation from the results of specific surface area Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This study might provide valuable information for the application of novel organoclays to the removal of both heavy metal and organics from water.
