Article Abstract
This work proposes the study of the preparation of S-layer proteins-polymer particles supports by adsorption of the proteins on the polymer particles in aqueous dispersion. S-layer proteins were isolated from two Lentilactobacillus kefiri strains exhibiting different aggregative properties. Polyacrylic particles with similar sizes (around 70 nm) but different surface functionality (alkyl, hydroxylic, carboxylic), were obtained by emulsion polymerization and characterized. Combining them, adsorption isotherms were built. Adsorption isotherms follow the Langmuir-Freundlich model and show that the maximum amount of adsorbed protein was dependent on the protein/polymer combination. Both proteins showed a preference for particles containing carboxylic groups at the surface. Although the protein isolated from the non-aggregating strain presented the highest affinity for this surface, the protein obtained from the aggregating one led to the maximum amount of sorbed protein. The studies performed before and after sorption showed that the S-layer protein isolated from the aggregating strain presented a higher capacity to modify its secondary structure.

This study quantitatively evaluated the adsorption performance of natural bentonite for removing three dye classes-cationic (Basic dye: BEZACRYL RED GRL), anionic (Reactive dye: AVITERA LIGHT RED SE), and non-ionic (Disperse dye: BEMACRON BLUE HP3R) from synthetic textile wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted under varying conditions of contact time (15-90 min), adsorbent dosage (20-60 g L⁻), pH (4 and 12), and temperature (25-100 °C), with dye concentrations quantified by UV-Vis spectroscopy. At a contact time of 30 min and room temperature (25 °C), maximum removal efficiencies reached 99.

Tungsten disulfide (WS), a two-dimensional adsorbent material, has garnered great attention in removing lead ions (Pb) from water due to their extensive exposed adsorption sites. However, WS nanosheets inevitably agglomerated and stacked during the preparation and adsorption process, leading to reduced adsorption efficiency. Current method of enhancing WS dispersion is mainly blending with synthetic polymers, but these synthetic polymers themselves do not possess adsorption properties, resulting adsorption effect enhancement poorly.

Escalating concentrations of norfloxacin (NFX) in surface and wastewaters demand sustainable remediation strategies. In this study, dual-functional hydrochars were synthesized from argan nut shells (ArNS) via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC), with process conditions optimized by varying temperature (150-200 °C) and residence time (2-6 h). Among the materials, H1:5@150-4-prepared at 150 °C for 4 h with a biomass-to-water ratio of 1:5-exhibited the best performance, achieving a monolayer NFX adsorption capacity of 27.

Hydrogen energy is pivotal for driving sustainable development and achieving deep decarbonization; yet, its storage remains a significant challenge. Notably, depleted methane reservoirs can serve as a promising large-scale solution for underground hydrogen storage (UHS). Based on adsorption experiments, Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics methods, the adsorption behavior of H and CH in anthracite and the applicability of five models were discussed.
