Ongoing progress on novel nanocomposite membranes for the separation of heavy metals from contaminated water.

Abstract:

:Membranes, as the primary separation element of membrane-based processes, have greatly attracted the attention of researchers in several water treatment applications, including wastewater treatment, water purification, water disinfection, toxic and non-toxic chemical molecules, heavy metals, among others. Today, the removal of heavy metals from water has become challenging, in which chemical engineers are approaching new materials in membrane technologies. Therefore, the current review elucidates the progress of using different concepts of membranes and potential novel materials for such separations, identifying that polymeric membranes can exhibit a removal efficiency from 77 up to 99%; while novel nanocomposite membranes are able to offer complete removal of heavy metals (up to 100%), together with unprecedented permeation rates (from 80 up to 1, 300 L m-2 h-1). Thereby, the review also addresses the highlighted literature survey of using polymeric and nanocomposite membranes for heavy metal removal, highlighting the relevant insights and denoted metal uptake mechanisms. Moreover, it gives up-to-date information related to those novel nanocomposite materials and their contribution to heavy metals separation. Finally, the concluding remarks, future perspectives, and strategies for new researchers in the field are given according to the recent findings of this comprehensive review.

  • Organic fertilizer amendment increases methylmercury accumulation in rice plants.

    abstract::Rice grains are a methylmercury (MeHg) intake route for humans, especially in certain mercury (Hg)-contaminated areas. For rice plant growth, animal manure is commonly used as an organic fertilizer; however, its role in the formation of MeHg in paddy soils remains poorly understood. The aims of this study were thus to...
