AB  - Arsenic contamination has adverse health effects on human, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are suitable adsorbents for its removal. The small-scale synthesis and high cost hindered the application of MOFs in arsenic removal. The challenge resulted from the strict synthesis conditions, like harsh temperature or pressure and the use of toxic organic solvents such as N, N-Dimethylformamide, etc. We reported herein an optimized method for scalable synthesis of MIL-88B(Fe) in innocuous ethanol solvent under benign conditions (low temperature, normal pressure, and no pretreatment of reactants). Synthetic parameters, such as the ratio of reactants, temperature, reaction time, and purification process, were optimized to achieve scalable preparation of the product. The scale-up produced MIL-88B(Fe) presents extraordinary adsorption capacity (128.99 mg/g) towards toxic arsenate in water. Furthermore, we shaped the MOFs powder into millimeter-scale granules by using the bio-compatible binding agents and flash freezing treatment. The composite also outperforms in arsenate adsorption capacity than that of commercially available products. Additionally, a 250-hours dynamic column adsorption operation proves that the composite can guarantee a safe concentration level of arsenate effluent. The well-shaped porous structure of composite facilitates its application and avoids secondary pollution in real scenarios, demonstrating applicable prospects as filters for water purification.

AB  - Development of method for the complete conversion of Cr-containing electroplating sludge (ES) into the black inorganic pigment was presented. Difficulties related to the ES complex, variable composition and inhomogeneity, where the dominant presence of Cr was followed by: Fe, P, Zn, Ni, Cu, etc., can be overcome by determination of the precise amount of Fe2O3 necessary to be added in order to firmly embed all the heavy metals into the pigment structure (i.e. the Fe0.7Cr1.3O3/FePO4 nanocomposite), taking care not only about weight/molar ratios, but also about average particle size, apparent densities, and volume fraction of the starting materials. As a source of Fe2O3, commercial (p.a.) Fe2O3 and two different Fe-wastes were used, thus completely fulfilling the principles of the circular economy. The obtained black inorganic pigments have consistent composition, no leaching of toxic metals, color (CIE L-a-b-values) comparable with those of commercial pigments and thus have the potential commercial large scale application. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

AB  - Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), an exciting class of porous crystalline materials, are suitable for adsorptive removal of toxic heavy metal-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (M-EDTA) complexes from wastewater. In this paper, water-stable UiO-66(Zr) with well-defined morphology was successfully synthesized through a facile microwave-assisted solvothermal method and employed as nanotraps for the efficient capture of the three M-EDTA complexes, Cu-EDTA, Pb-EDTA, and Ni-EDTA. The adsorption behaviors, effects of solution pH and co-existing anions, as well as the eluant and desorption were investigated. The obtained UiO-66(Zr) showed good stability and excellent uptake capacity of M-EDTA in a wide pH range (3.0-10.0). UiO-66(Zr) exhibited a higher removal efficiency of Cu-EDTA (57.56 mg/g), Pb-EDTA (120.6 mg/g), and Ni-EDTA (54.27 mg/g). Based on the overall analysis results, our findings show that EDTA-metal complex ions can be adsorbed inside UiO-66(Zr) mainly through the Lewis-acid/-base interactions and possible anion-πinteraction with strong binding energies. Size-matching EDTA-metal complexes confined in the UiO-66(Zr) with flexible geometry would also contribute to the fast adsorption kinetics as well as the selective adsorption of different M-EDTA complexes. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

AB  - The recycling of heavy metals from solid wastes and transforming these metals into useful materials, such as metal oxides, nanocomposites, and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), are beneficial for both sustainable development and environmental protection. MOFs are promising for adsorptive desulfurization, owing to their extremely high surface areas and tunable structures. In this paper, for the first time, MIL-53(Cr) was successfully fabricated from electroplating sludge (EPS) as a metal source through a facile hydrothermal method with and without HF. Our synthetic method is novel, green, scalable, and time-efficient. The obtained MIL-53(Cr) was employed as an adsorbent for adsorptive dibenzothiophene removal from liquid fuel. MIL-53(Cr) with HF exhibits a higher desulfurization capacity (40.11 mg g–1) than that of MIL-53(Cr) without HF (32.80 mg g–1). The improved adsorption performance of MIL-53(Cr) with HF is attributed to adding a small amount of HF, which produces highly crystalline and relativity pure MIL-53(Cr) microrods with a high surface area and porosity, and is due to a robust metal–sulfur interaction. Furthermore, the regenerated adsorbent can retain 94% of its initial sulfur adsorption capability even after 5 cycles, implying that MIL-53(Cr) prepared from Cr-EPS is an efficient adsorbent for fuel desulfurization. This study provides new insight for the production of high-value-added MOF materials from solid wastes following the principle of “resource reuse”.
