AI Article Synopsis
- Recycling precious metals like silver is crucial due to limited natural reserves, prompting the use of S-doped porous carbons (SPCs) derived from passion fruit shells for effective silver adsorption.
- The synthesis process involved hydrothermal carbonization followed by activation, which increased mesopore content and introduced sulfur elements, enhancing silver adsorption performance.
- The optimized SPC-3 demonstrated high silver adsorption capacity (115 mg/g) and strong selectivity, allowing for easy recovery of silver after adsorption through simple calcination.
Article Abstract
It is vital to recycle precious metals effectively such as silver from waste sources because of limited natural reserves. Herein, passion fruit ( ) shell-derived S-doped porous carbons (SPCs) were newly synthesized by hydrothermal carbonization and following with activation by KOH/(NH)SO, and the adsorption of Ag on SPC under acidic solutions was investigated. It was found that the activator of (NH)SO can not only introduce the doping of S elements but also increase the proportion of mesopores in the as-prepared SPC. As the active site, the increasing S doping can improve the adsorption of Ag on SPC. The kinetic data of Ag adsorption by SPC was consistent with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The Langmuir isothermal model was used to well fit the Ag adsorption isotherms of SPC, and the maximum adsorption capacity of the optimized SPC-3 for Ag is up to 115 mg/g in 0.5 mol/L HNO solution. SPC-3 showed good selectivity toward Ag over diverse competing cations, which is mainly attributed to the strong bonding between Ag ions and the sulfur-containing functional groups on the surface of SPC-3 resulting in the formation of AgS nanoparticles. The adsorbed Ag could be recovered as an elemental form by a simple calcination. This study provides a new insight into the design of an environmentally friendly and efficient adsorbent for the selective recovery of silver from acidic aqueous media.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) derived spherical porous carbon (SPC) has potential application value in the field of adsorption and sustained release of nitroimidazole drugs. This work used MIL-53(Fe) as a precursor and prepared spherical 3-aminophenol-formaldehyde resin containing MIL-53(Fe) crystals using the advanced Stöber method, followed by the successful preparation of MIL-53(Fe) derived SPC (MSPC) with a structure containing both micropores and mesopores through high-temperature carbonization. The effects of the doping amount of MIL-53(Fe) on the sphericity and particle size of MSPC were investigated.

To avoid the environmental detriment caused by Cr(VI) waste, this study constructs a dual cross-linking network structure using sodium alginate (SA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Chitosan (CS) is further introduced through electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonding and SA/PVA/CS (SPC) composite with porous structure is successfully prepared for the removal of Cr(VI) from wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments show that SPC has excellent adsorption capacity and practical usability with a broad pH applicability range.

Article Synopsis
- Membrane distillation (MD) shows potential for recycling shale gas produced water (SGPW), but membrane fouling is a significant challenge.
- Sodium percarbonate (SPC) oxidation was tested as a pretreatment method, resulting in reduced fluorescent organics and improved MD performance compared to untreated SGPW.
- The addition of Fe(II) to SPC further enhanced results, indicating a key mechanism of fouling mitigation involves reducing organic concentrations and their hydrophobic properties through combined oxidation, coagulation, and adsorption.

The catalytic activity of platinum for CO oxidation depends on the interaction of electron donation and back-donation at the platinum center. Here we demonstrate that the platinum bromine nanoparticles with electron-rich properties on bromine bonded with sp-C in graphdiyne (PtBr NPs/Br-GDY), which is formed by bromine ligand and constitutes an electrocatalyst with a high CO-resistant for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The catalyst showed peak mass activity for MOR as high as 10.
