Marine shell wastes were thermally activated and characterized as aragonite and calcite phases and were used in the removal of synthetic anionic dyes, Bright Blue Acid (NB180) and Reactive Red 133 (RR133). Benefited marine shells were classified as low-cost (USD 0.33/g of adsorbent) in comparison with other reported materials. Furthermore, the absence of chemicals in the adsorbent preparation allows its further employment in economic activities. The coexistence of adsorption and exchange-precipitation reaction was responsible for up to 93% of dye removal, whilst the maximum adsorption capacities were 225 mg g for NB180 and 36 mg g for RR133. The observed kinetic behavior of the dye removal by the adsorbent allowed the proposal of a mechanism for dye-adsorbent interaction in liquid-solid interface considering both adsorption and exchange-precipitation reaction. Contribution of the exchange-precipitation reaction in the removal process was quantified as being approximately 75% for NB180 and 25% for RR133. The mathematical model that phenomenologically described the kinetic behavior of the dye removals gave the magnitude order of the kinetic parameters as k = 8.67-9.49 min and k = 1.18-2.84 min, due to the adsorption and the (exchange-reaction)-precipitation, respectively. This work indicates the step (exchange reaction)-precipitation as an additional contribution to improve the dye removal from aqueous effluents, achieving in the evolution of the process up to 24% in terms of kinetic selectivity of removal.

Article Synopsis
- A double network hydrogel, FeO@LH, was developed from lignosulfonate and polyacrylamide with embedded FeO nanoparticles to effectively remove lead (Pb) from contaminated soil.
- The hydrogel showed a high adsorption capacity for Pb(II) at 143.11 mg/g and achieved a 22.3% removal efficiency through various mechanisms like electrostatic adsorption and cation exchange.
- FeO@LH not only reduces Pb but also lowers cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) levels, while improving soil quality indicators, and maintains over 75% recovery after 90 days of use, proving its biosafety through toxicity tests on zebrafish larvae.

Although Fe/FeO has potential application compared with nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI), its smooth structure largely limits the catalytic performance. To address this challenge, we innovatively constructed highly efficient composite Fe/FeO@UiO-66 via employing an urchin-like core-shell structure of Fe/FeO onto UiO-66 through a facile ion exchange precipitation method without inert gas protection. The characterization results show the urchin-like core-shell configuration can extend the life span of Fe and produce more active sites.

ConspectusIn the mid 2010s, high-pressure diffraction and spectroscopic tools opened a window into the molecular-scale behavior of fluids under the conditions of many CO sequestration and shale/tight gas reservoirs, conditions where CO and CH are present as variably wet supercritical fluids. Integrating high-pressure spectroscopy and diffraction with molecular modeling has revealed much about the ways that supercritical CO and CH behave in reservoir components, particularly in the slit-shaped micro- and mesopores of layered silicates (phyllosilicates) abundant in caprocks and shales. This Account summarizes how supercritical CO and CH behave in the slit pores of swelling phyllosilicates as functions of the HO activity, framework structural features, and charge-balancing cation properties at 90 bar and 323 K, conditions similar to a reservoir at ∼1 km depth.

Soils contaminated with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) may face serious environmental problems and pose health risks. In this study, the potential feasibility of industrial and agricultural by-products as low-cost green stabilization materials for copper (Cu), chromium (Cr(VI)) and lead (Pb) polluted soil was investigated. The new green compound material SS ∼ BM ∼ PRP was prepared by ball milling with steel slag (SS), bone meal (BM), and phosphate rock powder (PRP) which had an excellent stabilization effect on contaminated soil.
