In this study, copper slag was treated by carbothermal reduction technology for preparing an integrated micro-electrolysis filter (IMEF) and recovery of Zn and Pb. The influence of roasting conditions on the volatilization of Zn and Pb, and on the performance of IMEF in removing Cr(VI) from water were studied. The results showed that increasing the roasting temperature, time, and dosage of coal facilitated the generation of zero-valent iron (ZVI) and volatilization of Zn and Pb. The IMEF, roasted at 1150 °C for 40 min with 25% anthracite, had the best reduction effect on Cr(VI), and the volatilization efficiencies of Zn and Pb were 97.38% and 96.77%, respectively. The prepared IMEF had a porous structure with a porosity of 75.20%. A great number of nano/micro-sized ZVI particles were generated on the surface of silicate pore, and had super reactivity. The removal of Cr(VI) was promoted by increasing IMEF dosage and solution temperature, and decreasing the pH of the Cr(VI) solution. The IMEF presented good mechanical strength and excellent long-term performance in removing Cr(VI). Cr(VI) was reduced into Cr(III) and then mineralized to FeCrO during reaction.

Heterointerface engineering is an effective strategy to design and construct high-performance photocatalysts. Herein, polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles and ZnTi layered double hydroxide (ZnTi-LDH) nanosheets were integrated to form organic-inorganic heterostructure (PANI/LDH) via d-π electronic coupling using in-situ polymerization for photocatalytic oxidation/reduction towards tetracycline (TC) and Cr(VI). The photocatalytic activity was closely related to feed amount of aniline (Ani) in the polymerization process, which the abundant PANI nanoparticles were evenly distributed on the surface of ZnTi-LDH nanosheets at the proper Ani feed amount, and thus reinforced d-π electronic coupling at the organic-inorganic interfaces more efficiently.

Herein, novel hollow ZnO and ZnO@SnInS core-shell nanorods (NRs) with controlled shell thickness were developed via a facile synthesis approach for the efficient photocatalytic remediation of organic as well inorganic water pollutants. The introduction of SnInS shell layer coating over ZnO enhances visible light absorption, efficient exciton-mediated direct charge transfer, and reduces the band gap of ZnO@SnInS core-shell nanorods. The ZnO@SnInS core-shell nanorods show efficient solar-light driven catalytic efficiency for the disintegration of industrial dye (orange G), degradation of tetracycline, and reduction of hazardous Cr (VI) ions in aquatic systems.

Quorum sensing (QS) is recognized for enhancing bacterial resistance against heavy metals by regulating the production of extracellular substances that hinder metal penetration into the intracellular environment. However, it remains unclear whether QS contributes to resistance by regulating electron transfer, thereby transforming metals from more toxic to less toxic forms. This study investigated the regulatory mechanism of acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL)-mediated QS on electron transfer under As(III) and Cr(VI) stress.

In this work, bimetallic organic frameworks NH-MOFs(Fe, Ti) with different Fe/Ti molar ratios were prepared by a hydrothermal method for the synchronous redox transformation of Cr(VI) and As(III). These results showed that NH-MIL-125(Ti) was less effective in the photocatalytic removal of Cr(VI), whereas NH-MIL-88B(Fe) was less effective in the photocatalytic oxidative removal of As(III). Due to the introduction of Fe, the photocatalytic reduction removal of Cr(VI) (23.

Surfactant-modified biochar is a viable adsorbent for eliminating Cr(VI) from synthetic wastewater. The biochar obtained from the zea mays plant (BC) was tailored with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as an anionic surfactant forming SDS-BC adsorbent. Different controlling conditions have been evaluated including pH of the solution, biomass concentration, primary Cr(VI) concentration, time of adsorption, and temperature.
