Article Abstract
The novelty of the current article is to investigate the adsorption potential of the Egyptian natural and activated bentonite (Na-bentonite) to inorganic and organic phosphorus (IP, OP) in aqueous media. The natural bentonite (NB) was activated to Na-bentonite (Na-B) by a new facile method within 2 h. NB and Na-B were also characterized using XRD, XRF, BET ESM, and FT-IR. The batch experiment has been employed to select the ideal conditions for the removal of inorganic and organic phosphorus (IP, OP) from aqueous solutions. The findings clearly showed that the Na-bentonite is enriched with sodium in the form of Na-montmorillonite with a higher specific area 138.51 m/g than the value for the natural bentonite 74.21 m/g. The batch experiment showed maximum absorption for both IP and OP adsorbents occurred at an equilibrium pH = 6, contact time of 40 to 50 min, 40 °C temperature, and a dose rate of 2 mg/L and 1 mg/L, respectively. The equilibrium data displayed better adjustment to Langmuir than the Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms and adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order-type kinetic, and the parameters of thermodynamics reveal that adsorption occurs spontaneously and exothermic nature. Na-bentonite proved to be more efficient in removing target material than natural bentonite. The spent bentonites were easily regenerated by chemical methods.

Precision in controlling the microenvironment of nanospaces is a potent strategy for exploring architecture‒function relationships. Herein, a face-capped tetrahedral cage, featuring Pd‒Pd-bonded vertices, with a tailored nanospace surrounded by 12 ethyl units, was facilitated to adaptively accommodate a library of guests with different sizes and shapes, including C6 cyclic hydrocarbons, adamantane derivatives, S and P. This nanocavity can achieve strong binding with cyclohexane in non-aqueous media in contrast to reported structurally similar non--functionalized cages by an increase of four orders of magnitude.

Anaerobic co-digestion of sulfur-containing organic wastes with waste-activated sludge containing iron-phosphorus compounds (FePs) was recently suggested as an environment-friendly strategy to promote phosphate release, energy recovery, and hydrogen sulfide (HS) control. Nevertheless, the mechanistic coupling between FePs speciation and the concurrent transformation of carbon, sulfur, iron, and phosphorus within this system remains to be fully elucidated. To address this knowledge gap, methionine, a typical hydrolysis product of sulfur-containing organics, and five FePs prevalent in sludge (ferric-phosphate tetrahydrate (FePO⋅4HO), ferric-phosphate dihydrate (FePO⋅2HO), vivianite (Fe(PO)·8HO), phosphate coprecipitated with Fe(III) (COP-P), and phosphate adsorption on hydrous ferric oxide (HFO-P)) were selected to elucidate C-S-Fe-P transformations in this study.

This study presents a one-pot synthesis of phosphorus(III) benzoxaboroles using hypophosphorous acid to yield H-phosphinates. These H-phosphinates, together with their phosphonate congeners, were systematically evaluated for their physicochemical properties, including p, diol-binding affinity, and oxidative stability in buffer. The presence of the phosphorus atom as either phosphorus(III) or phosphorus(V) provided high aqueous water solubility.

Biomass-derived porous carbon electrodes have attracted significant attention for high-performance supercapacitor applications due to their sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and tunable porosity. To accelerate the design and evaluation of these materials, it is essential to develop accurate and efficient strategies for optimizing their physicochemical and electrochemical properties. Herein, a machine learning (ML) approach is employed to analyze experimental data from previously reported sources, enabling the prediction of specific capacitance (F g) based on various material characteristics and processing conditions.

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (P204) is widely used in extraction processes in the nuclear and rare earth industries. However, its high solubility in water results in high levels of total organic carbon and phosphorus in aqueous environments, and may also lead to radioactive contamination when it is used to combine with radionuclides. In this paper, we characterized a coconut shell activated carbon (CSAC) and a coal-based activated carbon (CBAC) for the adsorption of P204 and then evaluated their adsorption performance through batch and column experiments.
