Article Abstract
An electrocoagulation (EC) model is developed for hexavalent chromium reduction and precipitation, using iron electrodes. Parallel removal mechanisms such as adsorption of chromium on ferrihydrite and direct reduction at the cathode is assumed negligible due to low concentration of Cr(VI). The reaction model presented for batch system represents species complexation, precipitation/dissolution, acid/base, and oxidation-reduction reactions. Batch reactor simulation is verified using experimental data obtained by Sarahney et al. (2012), where the effect of initial chromium concentration, pH, volumetric current density, and ionic strength is considered (Sarahney et al., 2012). The model couples multicomponent ionic transport in MATLAB with chemical reaction model in PHREEQC, as a widely used computational programming tool and a geochemical reaction simulator with comprehensive geochemistry databases. The suggested current density is 0.05-0.3mA/cm and the surface to volume ratio in batch reactor is considered 0.017 1/cm. Design parameters are presented for operation of a flow-through hexavalent chromium removal using electrocoagulation by iron electrode to treat Cr(VI) in range of 10-50 mg/L. The operational parameters for a flow-through EC reactor for Cr(VI) removal is suggested to follow [Formula: see text] .

The low-carbon strategy mandates the sustainable remediation of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) contamination, driving the demand for efficient eco-adsorbents. However, current research prioritizes adsorption performance, neglecting environmental trade-offs and quantum chemical mechanisms of Cr(VI) adsorption. Here, we pioneered the first density functional theory (DFT) exploration of Cr(VI) adsorption mechanisms across chitosan (CS), polydopamine (PDA), UiO-66-NH, and polyethylenimine.

Background: Hexavalent chromium ions (Cr(VI)), a notorious toxic heavy metal pollutant with proven carcinogenicity, endangers human health and the environment. Meanwhile, l-ascorbic acid (L-AA), a vital biological antioxidant, has abnormal levels closely tied to various diseases. Developing efficient synchronous detection methods for these two key analytes is of great value in clinical and environmental monitoring.

A biocomposite composed of chitosan and lignin was synthesized for the removal of dyes and metals from aqueous solutions. The structural and surface properties of the adsorbent were characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM micrograph, X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, BJH pore size distribution, and zeta potential evolution. This study also presented a physicochemical investigation of the adsorption mechanism of reactive orange 16 (RO16) dye and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) ions on chitosan-lignin biocomposite, using both experimental adsorption data and theoretical modeling based on statistical physics theory to elucidate the underlying interactions.

Ranked as a "top 10 cause of death", chronic liver disease accounts for millions of deaths annually. The prevalence of the most prominent liver disease, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), has doubled over the past 20 years and continues to rise. Growing in parallel are environmental chemical exposures, emergingas key risk factors for liver disease.
