ABSTRACTEffects of potassium monopersulfate (KMPS) on the nitrification activity, aquacultural water quality and bacterial community structure of sponge biocarriers with pre-cultured biofilm (SBBF) were analysed through shaking flask experiments and L. vannamei aquaculture experiments. Changes in the ammonia oxidation rate (AOR) and nitrite oxidation rate (NOR) of SBBF under six KMPS concentration treatments (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mg/L) were studied. The results showed that the AOR and NOR of SBBF treated with high concentrations of KMPS (3, 4 and 5 mg/L) were significantly lower than those of the control group (CK) (p < 0.05). However, compared with the first dosing of NH4Cl and NaNO2, the inhibition of AOR and NOR by KMPS on AOR and NOR was weakened after the second and third dosing times. That is, AOR and NOR can recover partially or completely over time. The L. vannamei aquaculture experiment was performed using four concentrations of KMPS (0, 2, 4 and 8 mg/L). The results showed that with increasing KMPS dosage, the average and peak concentrations of NH4+-N and NO2–-N in each treatment significantly increased (P < 0.05), and the final body weight of shrimp significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Furthermore the highest dose (8.0 mg/L) of KMPS reduced the survival rate by 9.33% compared to the CK. High-throughput sequencing analysis of the biofilm structure showed that the relative abundances of Nitrospirota, Nitrosomonas and Nitrococcus, which are related to nitrogen cycling, and beneficial bacteria including Firmicutes and Bacilli decreased with the addition of KMPS (p < 0.05).

AbstractDeep eutectic solvent (DES) has been identified as a potential green solvent in biomass processing. In the present investigation, a deep eutectic solvent ie. choline chloride: urea (ChCl/U) was synthesized and employed to pretreat rice husks. Plackett- Burman response surface methodology was used to optimize the factors which are DES molar ratio, residence time, temperature, and biomass concentration. A total of 11 experimental conditions were evaluated and the highest amount of reducing sugar was obtained when 2 g rice husk was pretreated with 1:2 ChCl/U at 80 °C for 6 hours i.e., 0.67 ± 0.05 mg/mL. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies were used to characterize the structural and compositional changes in which DES demonstrates a great performance in the pretreatment of rice husk by eliminating amorphous lignin and hemicellulose content. Therefore, the facile process used in this study has the potential to be used on a massive scale to produce fermentable sugars and other compounds.

ABSTRACTThe co-pyrolysis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was carried out in a batch steel pyrolyzer in order to convert the PET into pyrolysis oil as its pyrolysis alone resulted in wax and gases. The study also aimed to increase the aromatic content of pyrolysis oil by the interaction of degradation fragments of linear chains of LDPE and HDPE with the benzene ring of PET during the pyrolysis. The reaction conditions were optimized for a higher yield of pyrolysis oil which were found to be 500 °C pyrolysis temperature with a heating rate of 0.5 °Cs−1, 1 h reaction time and 20 g of the initial mass of polymer mixture having 20% PET, 40% LDPE and 40% HDPE. Waste aluminium particles were applied as an economical catalyst in the process. The thermal co-pyrolysis yielded 8% pyrolysis oil, 32.3 wax, 39.7 wt% gases and 20% coke while the catalytic co-pyrolysis produced 30.2% pyrolysis oil, 4.2% wax, 53.6 wt% gases and 12% coke. The fractional distillation of catalytic oil resulted in 46% gasoline range oil, 31% kerosene range oil and 23% diesel range oil. These fractions resembled the standard fuels in terms of their fuel properties as well as FT-IR spectra. The GC-MS analysis revealed that the catalytic co-pyrolysis favoured the formation of relatively short-chain hydrocarbons with olefins and isoparaffins as major components while the thermal co-pyrolysis formed long-chain paraffins. The naphthenes and aromatics were also found in higher amounts in the catalytic oil compared with the thermal oil.

ABSTRACTThe development of industrial process in line with the circular economy and the environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) is the foundation for sustainable economic development. Alternatives that make feasible the transformation of residues in added value products are promising and contribute to the repositioning of the industry towards sustainability, due to financial leverage obtained from lesser operational costs when compared with conventional processes, therefore increasing the company competitivity. In this study, it is presented a promising and innovative technology for the recycling of agro-industrial residues, the sugarcane bagasse and the high-pressure water boiler effluent, in the development of a low-cost adsorbent (HC-T) using the hydrothermal carbonization processes and its application in the adsorption of herbicide Diuron and Methylene Blue dye from synthetic contaminated water. The hydrothermal carbonization was performed in a Teflon contained inside a sealed stainless-steel reactor self-pressurized at 200°C, biomass-to-effluent (m/v) ratio of 1:3 and 24 h. The synthesized material (HC) was activated in an oven at 450°C for 10 min, thus being named adsorbent (HC-T) and characterized by textural, structural and spectroscopic analyses. The low-cost adsorbent HC-T presented an 11-time-fold increase in surface area and ∼40% increase in total pore volume in comparison with the HC material. The kinetic and isotherm adsorption experiment results highlighted that the HC-T was effective as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of herbicide Diuron and Methylene Blue dye from synthetic contaminated waters, with an adsorption capacity of 35.07 (63.25% removal) and 307.09 mg g−1 (36,47% removal), respectively.

ABSTRACTEmploying forced aeration (FA) in composting static windrows (SW) from fish waste (FW) has the potential to enhance the development of process and, organic fertilizer quality. However, due to the impact of season, the FA may lead to excessive drying of SW and, difficulty in thermophilic temperature maintenance. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of passive aeration (PA) and FA on the composting of FW in SW during the summer and winter seasons. The temperatures of the windrows remained within the thermophilic range for most of the composting period, with peak temperatures observed shortly after starting and turningthe windrows (at 50 and 70 days).. The aeration benefited the initial TS degradations, resulting in 86.66 and 45.99% of the TS total reduced to FA and PA piles, at 50 days during the winter. The C organic reduction was 77.77 and 76.33% in summer and winter to FA piles, respectively, but this reduction was 59.24% and 67.82% for winter and summer, respectively, in PA windrows. At 50 days, the N reduction in FA piles was already at 70.32% and 71.87% for winter and summer. The volatile solids reductions were significantly higher (p < 0.01) in FA piles during the summer. Although the FA has been shown to enhance the organic constituents’ degradation during the composting of FW, its adoption was not enough to improve the compost composition. Thus, by conducting piles on a small scale, with the perforated wall, as described in this study, the FA could be dispensed.

ABSTRACTRemoval of high toxic Cr(VI) with solar plays an important role in improving water pollution, but is facing a dilemma of developing excellent photocatalysts with high conversion efficiency and low cost. Different from traditional nano-structuring, this work focuses on the interfacial hybridization by considering the intrinsic difference in bonding interaction. Herein, we intentionally make some layered black phosphorus (BP) sheets with Van der Waals interaction to bond with ZnO surfaces, in which some additional electron channels can be formed by this multilevel atomic hybridization to accelerate carrier transfer and separation. Compared to the pristine ZnO and BP nanosheets, the light absorption and carrier separation efficiency can be sharply enhanced by this particular electronic structure, which makes the Cr reduction performance enhanced about 7.1 times. Our findings suggest a new insight into accelerating Cr(VI) reduction by designing interfacial atom hybridization.

ABSTRACTCarbon fibres (CF) are commonly used as carriers in biofilm-based wastewater treatment. The surface properties of the CF are herein modified using a combination of nitric acid oxidation and urea to optimise the carrier to immobilise bacterial cells. The capacity of the CF carriers to immobilise bacterial cells and activated sludge is evaluated using bacterial cell adhesion and sludge immobilisation tests. The total interaction energy profiles between the CF supports and bacterial cells were calculated according to the Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theory to explain the mechanism by which these modifications enhance this immobilisation capacity. CF-U has a high capacity for immobilising bacterial cells and activated sludge (3.7 g-sludge/g-CF supports) owing to its low total interaction energy. Nitric acid oxidation reduced the diiodomethane contact angle of CF from 55.1° to 38.5°, which reduced the Lifshitz-van der Waals interaction energy, while urea modification further increased the zeta potential of CF from 12.8 mV to −0.7 mV, thereby reducing the electrostatic interaction energy. Experiments and DLVO theory both determined that a combination of nitric acid oxidation and urea modification significantly enhanced the ability of CF to immobilise microorganisms.

ABSTRACTHeavy metal pollution and toxicity from water resources have remained a great concern for the entire population. This research demonstrates the capability of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) for fluorescence-based heavy metal detection in different water resources using a fibre-optic spectrometer device. Two different types of CQDs phthalic acid and triethylenediamine (PT CQDs) and Folic acid (FCQDs) were synthesized using microwave irradiation and hydrothermal method, respectively. CQDs were characterized using several techniques such as TEM, EDX, XPS and FTIR. PTCQD and FCQDs both were tested for sensing capability in water reservoirs like household and river water. The results indicate that both CQDs were able to detect all six heavy metal ions (Pb2+, Co2+, Mn3+, Hg2+, Ni2+, Cr3+) tested in the study in the range of 0–100 µM. It was found that FCQDs show a three-fold higher sensitivity and greater resolution than PTCQDs for all the heavy metals samples. The CQDs’ sensing capability shows that they can achieve a limit of detection in the range of 0.15–3 µM along with 100% accuracy in terms of recovery with minimal error, these results indicate that both CQDs have a tremendous potential to be used as a sensor for the detection of heavy metals even in complex water matrices. FCQDs show more sensitivity for all metals compared to PTCQDs and used in future as a sensing tool for heavy metal detection with better sensitivity and accuracy with less response time.

ABSTRACTThis research examines the trends in environmental footprints through energy innovations, digital trade, economic freedom, and environmental regulation from the context of G7 economies. Quarterly observations from 1998-2020 have been utilized for the advanced-panel model entitled Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MMQR). The initial findings confirm slope heterogeneity, interdependence between the cross-sectional units, stationarity properties, and panel cointegration. The results through FM-OLS, D-OLS, and FE-OLS justify that energy innovations, digital trade, and environmental regulations control ecological damages. In contrast, economic freedom and growth are causing more damage to nature, like ecological footprints (EFP). Similarly, the results through MMQR confirm that the impact of energy innovations, digital trade, and environmental regulations is accepted as a panacea to control environmental degradation in G7. However, the magnitude of the coefficient varies across different quantiles. More specifically, the findings show that the impact of energy innovations is highly significant at 0.50th quantile. In contrast, through digital trade, the impact on EFP is only significant under medium and higher order quantiles (i.e. 0.50th, 0.75th-1.0th). Contrarily, economic freedom is causing more EFP across all the quantiles, where the findings are highly significant at 0.75th quantile. Besides, a few other policy implications are also discussed.

ABSTRACTFermentation processes have been shown to be a good approach to food waste (FW) management. Among the commodities that can be bioproduced by using FW as an organic substrate and exploiting its biodegradability, there is lactic acid (LA). LA has gained the interest of research because of its role in the production of polylactic acid plastics. In this study, the influence of the HRT (2–5 days) used during the fermentation of the liquid fraction (∼12–13 g COD/L) of FW on LA yield and concentration was investigated. Moreover, the changes in the chemical composition (in terms of carbohydrates and organic metabolites concentration) of the influent occurring in the feeding tank were monitored and its influence on the downstream fermentation process was examined. High instability characterized the reactor run with the optimal production yield obtained on day 129 at an HRT 2 days with 0.81 g COD/g COD. This study shows the importance of the fluctuating composition of FW, a very heterogeneous and biologically active substrate, for the LA fermentation process. The non-steady state fermentation process was directly impacted by the unstable influent and shows that a good FW storage strategy has to be planned to achieve high and constant LA production.

ABSTRACTIn this study, persulphate and nanoscale zero-valent iron were activated by ultraviolet irradiation (PS/nZVI/UV), followed by formation of dynamic flocs with AlCl3–TiCl4 coagulant directly injected into a gravity-driven membrane (GDM) tank. Membrane fouling caused by typical organic matter fractions including humic acid (HA), HA together with bovine serum albumin (HA-BSA), HA combined with polysaccharide (HA-SA) and the HA-BSA-SA mixture at pH of 6.0, 7.5 and 9.0 were evaluated by specific flux and fouling resistance distribution. The results showed that GDM pre-layered with AlCl3–TiCl4 flocs exhibited the maximum specific flux, followed by AlCl3 and TiCl4. Pre-oxidation with 0.5 mM PS and 0.1 g nZVI under UV radiation for 20 min was beneficial to degrade HA and SA fraction with molecular weight >100 kDa and <30 kDa, and BSA fraction with <30 kDa. The presence of BSA attributed mostly to irreversible fouling, SA together with BAS could exacerbate irreversible fouling, while HA caused the least fouling. The irreversible resistance of a PS/nZVI/UV-GDM system was 62.79%, 27.27%, 58.03% and 49.68% lower than that of control GDM in the treatment of HA, HA-BSA, HA-SA and HA-BSA-SA, respectively. The PS/nZVI/UV-GDM system could achieve the highest foulants removal efficiency at pH of 6.0. Morphological observations confirmed the differences in biofouling layers in different water types. Over 30-day operation, the bacterial genera on the biofouling layer could affect the organic removals, while the type of organic matter that was present influenced the relative abundance of bacterial genera.

AbstractIn this study, magnetically recyclable spherical Fe3O4/Cu2O particles comprising S-scheme heterojunctions were prepared by a simple hydrothermal approach using n-type semiconductor Fe3O4 as precursor and p-type semiconductor Cu2O. A Fenton-like system was thus constructed via the addition to Fe3O4/Cu2O of hydrogen peroxide. A rhodamine B (RhB) solution was used to simulate polluted wastewater, and photocatalytic RhB removal experiments were conducted under visible light irradiation. Powder X-ray diffractometry, vibrating-sample magnetometry, nitrogen adsorption–desorption, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy experiments were conducted to characterize Fe3O4 and Fe3O4/Cu2O composite. The band gap of Fe3O4/Cu2O was 1.76 eV, narrower than that of Fe3O4 (2.14 eV). The effects of the pH, sample dosage, hydrogen peroxide concentration, and RhB initial concentration on RhB removal were investigated. According to evidence, under the optimum reaction conditions, the RhB removal rate was 99.4%. The Fe3O4/Cu2O composite exhibited good photocatalytic efficacy even after four cycles of testing. Based on the results of free radical capture experiments, hydroxyl radicals and holes cooperated as main reactive species in the photocatalytic system. The Fe3O4/Cu2O photocatalyst can be easily removed based on magnetism, and it has been proven to be very effective for the degradation of RhB under both UV and visible light irradiation.Highlights Fe3O4/Cu2O particles were prepared by a hydrothermal approach.Fe3O4/Cu2O is magnetically recyclable spherical.Fe3O4/Cu2O can be used as photocatalyst, and activator of H2O2.Fe3O4/Cu2O displayed an excellent recyclability.

AbstractThe present study evaluated the effect of the Fenton process as pretreatment for metronidazole (MNZ) removal coupled with a phytoremediation system using Scirpus lacustris as macrophyte. Initial concentrations of 0.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mg MNZ/L were studied in batch cultures. Results obtained in the MNZ removal by phytoremediation showed efficiencies of 93 ± 2%, 81 ± 4%, 85 ± 1%, 84 ± 2%, and 87 ± 6%, respectively. The metronidazole pretreated by the Fenton process and subsequently fed to the phytoremediation system increased the removal efficiencies up to 93 ± 3%, 99 ± 1%, 99 ± 4%, 94 ± 2%, and 94 ± 3%, respectively. Individual studies with Scirpus lacustris in touch with metronidazole displayed relative growth rates of 0.02-0.04 d-1, showing the not toxic effect of the antibiotic on the macrophyte growth. On the other hand, the BMG kinetic model best describes the removal of MNZ by phytoremediation. Finally, applying the Fenton process as a pretreatment makes the MNZ more assimilable for the phytoremediation system, converting the integration of Fenton with the phytoremediation like other attractive technology to be considered in removing emerging compounds.

ABSTRACTMicrobial fuel cell (MFC) is a promising technology for recovering energy in wastewater through bacterial metabolism. However, it always suffers from low power density and electron transfer efficiency, restricting the application. This study fabricated the MnCo2S4–Co4S3/bamboo charcoal (MCS-CS/BC) through an easy one-step hydrothermal method, and the material was applied to carbon felt (CF) to form high-performance MFC anode. MCS-CS/BC-CF anode exhibited lower Rct (10.1 Ω) than BC-CF (17.24 Ω) and CF anode (116.1 Ω), exhibiting higher electrochemical activity. MCS-CS/BC-CF anode promoted the electron transfer rate and resulted in enhanced power density, which was 9.27 times higher (980 mW m−2) than the bare CF (105.7 mW m−2). MCS-CS/BC-CF anode showed the best biocompatibility which attracted distinctly larger biomass (146.27 mg/μL) than CF (20 mg/μL) and BC-CF anode (20.1 mg/μL). The typical exoelectrogens (Geobacter and etc.) took dramatically higher proportion on MCS-CS/BC-CF anode (59.78%) than CF (2.99%) and BC-CF anode (26.67%). In addition, MCS-CS/BC stimulated the synergistic effect between exoelectrogens and fermentative bacteria, greatly favouring the extracellular electron transfer rate between bacteria and the anode and the power output. This study presented an efficient way of high-performance anode electrocatalyst fabrication for stimulating MFC power generation, giving suggestions for high-efficient energy recovery from wastewater.

AbstractAnaerobic digestion (AD) relies on the cooperation of specific microbial communities, making it susceptible to process disruptions that could impact biogas production. In this regard, this study presents a technological solution based on the Arduino platform, in the form of a simple online monitoring system that can track the produced biogas profile, named as biogas analyzer module (BAM). The applicability of the BAM focused on monitoring the biogas produced from sugarcane vinasse inoculated with sewage sludge biodigestion processed in mesophilic conditions (38 oC), in a pH range of 6.5–7.5, and following a three-stage operational model: (i) an adaptation (168 h), (ii) complete mixing (168 h), and (iii) bio-stimulation with glycerol (192 h). Then, the lab-made BAM was used to trace the produced biogas profile, which registered a total biogas volume of 8,719.86 cm3 and biomethane concentration of 95.79% (vol.), removing 90.8% (vol) of carbon dioxide (CO2) and 65.2% (vol) of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). In conclusion, the results ensured good accuracy and efficiency to the device created by comparisons with established standards (chromatographic and colorimetric methods), as well as the cost reduction. The developed device would likely be six times cheaper than what is available in the market.

ABSTRACTThe use of nanomaterials in bioethanol production is promising and on the increase. In this report, the effect of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) on bioethanol production in the presence of a novel yeast strain, Pichia kudriavzveii IFM 53048 isolated from banana wastes was investigated. The hot percolation method was employed for the green synthesis of NiO NPs. The logistic and modified Gompertz kinetic models employed in this study showed a 0.99 coefficient of determination (R2) on cell growth, and substrate utilization on the initial rate data plot which indicate that these model were best suited for bioethanol production studies. As a result, 99.95% of the substrate was utilized to give 0.23 g/L/h−1 bioethanol productivity, and 51.28% fermentation efficiency, respectively. At 0.01 wt% of NiO NPs, maximum production was achieved with 0.27 g/g bioethanol yield. Meanwhile, 0.78 h−1 maximum specific growth rate (µmax) of the microorganism, 3.77 g/L bioethanol concentration (Pm), 0.49 g/L/h production rate (rp.m), and 2.43 h production lag time (tL) were obtained when 0.01 wt% of NiO NPs were used during the bioethanol production process. However, a decrease in bioethanol concentrations occurred at ≥0.02 wt% of NiO NPs. The incorporation of NiO NPs in the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process improved the production of bioethanol by 1.90 fold using banana peel wastes as substrate. These revealed NiO NPs could serve as a suitable biocatalyst in the green production of bioethanol from banana peel waste materials.

Abstract:Anaerobic ammonia oxidation process has the advantages of energy and cost reduction, therefore, it has been considered as one of the main alternatives to conventional biological denitrification process in recent years. Biochar has been applied in the anammox process for nitrogen removal efficiency. But, due to its extracellular electron transfer capacity and abundance of redox-specific functional groups, which served as extracellular electron acceptor to anaerobically oxidize NH4+ is still controversy. In this study, the anaerobic ammonia oxidation was investigated when biochar was used as electron acceptor in the wastewater. According to the optimal process variables determined in the batch tests, when the influent NH4+-N concentration in the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction was 30-50 mg/L and the biochar dosing was at 10 g/L, it showed some promotion in the long-term experiments. The anaerobic ammonia oxidation process with biochar as the electron acceptor reached more than 60% NH4+-N removal efficiency in the system, and the ΔNO3--N/ΔNH4+-N ratio reached 0.19 which tended to the theoretical value. After 20 days, the voltage in the system keeps fluctuating about 4 mV, indicated that the functional bacteria using biochar as the electron acceptor gradually dominated the system. In addition, the abundance of norank_f__norank_o__SBR1031 in the Chloroflexi phylum has increased significantly at 29.92%, while the abundance of the major genus Candidatus_Kuenenia in AnAOB has decreased slightly at 11.47%.

ABSTRACTCa doping is an effective method for improving the adsorption capacity of HA–Fe aggregates and regulating their structures. Understanding the structural characteristics of Ca–HA–Fe aggregates can help explore their microscopic adsorption effect on heavy metals. However, the heterogeneity of HA results in an incomplete understanding of the structural characteristics of the ternary system of Ca–HA–Fe aggregates and adsorption of the quaternary system of Ca–HA–Fe–Pb/Cu/Cd. In this study, interactions between Ca–HA–Fe ternary and Ca–HA–Fe–Pb/Cu/Cd quaternary systems were discussed from a molecular perspective. The structures of the basic structural units of HA were identified. Density functional theory (DFT) was employed to calculate the stable states of basic structural units of HA and Ca2+. The results showed that hydroxyl and carboxyl groups exhibited the highest capacity to bind with Ca2+. The interactions among Ca, HA, and Fe led to the formation of network aggregates. The binding energies of functional groups for heavy metals and the feasibility of ion exchange were calculated by the method of experiment and DFT. According to the contribution of functional group complexation and ion exchange, the ion exchange values for Pb2+, Cu2+, and Cd2+ were 66.71%, 62.87%, and 60.79%, respectively, which indicated that Ca2+ ion exchange showed considerable potential in enhancing the adsorption capacity of heavy metals.

ABSTRACTIn this work, a dual-pronged approach– (i) novel thin-film nanocomposite polyether sulfone (PES) membrane with MIL-101 (Fe) and (ii) 3D printed spacers were explored to enhance water recovery by forward osmosis. The concentration of PES, pore former, draw solution, and MIL-101(Fe) was optimized for maximum pure water flux (PWF) and minimum specific reverse solute flux (SRSF). The best membrane exhibited a PWF of 7.52 Lm-2h-1 and an SRSF of 0.33 ± 0.03 gL-1 using 1.5 M NaCl. The M22 membrane with the diamond-type spacer demonstrated a PWF of 2.53 Lm-2h-1 and SRF of 0.75 gL-1. The novel spacer design imparted significant turbulence to the feed flow and a lower foulant resistance of 1.3 m-1 as compared to the ladder type (1.5 m-1) or commercial spacer (1.7 m-1). This arrangement could recover 19% pure water within 12 h of operation (98% oil rejection) with a ∼ 94% flux recovery after water wash.

ABSTRACTIn this study, the removal of RhB from water by furfural residue (FR) biochar was prepared by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) and citric acid (CA) modification and named this biochar as CHFR (C refers to citric acid, H refers to hydrothermal carbonization and FR is furfural residue). The CHFR were characterized by SEM, FT-IR and XPS, and CHFR was investigated by the effects of initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, pH, and contact time on the removal of RhB, and the experimental data were analyzed using the adsorption isotherm models, the adsorption kinetic models and thermodynamics, et al. The results showed that CHFR has strong adsorption performance, and the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of RhB was 39.46 mg·g−1 under the reaction conditions of pH3, the dosage of 1.5 g·L−1, and 120 min contact time, with a removal efficiency close to 100%. the adsorption of RhB by CHFR is spontaneous and endothermic, which is consistent with the Freundlich adsorption, and the isotherm model fits well with the pseudo-second-order model, and the adsorption rate could still be as high as 92.74% after five regenerations, therefore, CHFR is an environmentally friendly and efficient adsorbent with excellent adsorption regeneration performance.
