A high performance biosorbent, polyethylenimine (PEI)-modified biomass, was prepared by attaching PEI onto the surface of inactive Escherichia coli biomass. Wastewater containing platinum was collected from an industrial laboratory for inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and used for the recovery study. The maximum platinum uptake of PEI-modified biomass was enhanced up to 108.8 mg/g compared to 21.4 mg/g of the raw biomass. Kinetic experiments revealed that sorption equilibrium could reach within 60 min for the PEI-modified biomass. The results of FTIR and XPS analysis of Pt-unloaded and Pt-loaded PEI-modified biomass indicated that electrostatic interaction was the main binding mechanism between the platinum ions and the binding sites on the surface of the biomass. Metallic form of platinum in ash was recovered by incineration with a recovery efficiency of over 98.7%. Furthermore, XPS, TEM and XRD results confirmed that the platinum recovered were both forms of Pt(0) and Pt(2+).

Cr (VI) accumulates in an aqueous environment and exhibits huge harm to human health and the ecological system. Developed lignin biomass materials are complicated to prepare and have limited properties, and advances in lignin phenolic modification are lacking. Herein, an aminated poplar lignin-pyrogallol (PLP-PEI) with a simple design and adjustable phenolic hydroxyl content was developed using the acid hydrolysis-phase separation (AH-PS) method, and modified by the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) strategy.

MXene/PEI modified sodium alginate aerogel (MPA) was facilely prepared by introducing polyethylenimine (PEI) and amino functionalized TiCT into sodium alginate (SA) aerogel matrix through cross-linking reactions. Abundant active groups of PEI coupled with in situ reduction ability of MXene dramatically promoted the removal of Cr(VI), realizing the adsorption capacity of 538.97 mg/g.

Biochar, a low-cost porous carbonaceous adsorbent, has low adsorption capacity for anion contaminants. The objective of this study was to improve biochar's ability to adsorb phosphorus (P) through polyethyleneimine (PEI) modification to form an amine-functionalized biochar. Biochars prepared by pyrolysis of bamboo biomass, before and after PEI modification, were characterized using the Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), elemental analysis, and batch sorption experiments.
