The biodiversity of aqueous environments has been affected due to the disposal of wastewater highly contaminated with heavy metal ions, causing much damage to ecosystems. These pollutants are very toxic and bioaccumulate in living organisms. This work attempts to evaluate the adsorption of nickel ad cadmium ions using three biomasses from agricultural residues (corn cob – CC, orange peel – OP, and oil palm bagasse – PB) modified with alumina nanoparticles. The biomasses were characterized via compositional analysis and a point of zero charges to quantify the presence of lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, and the feasible pH, taking advantage of the biomass charge. After modification with Al2O3 nanoparticles. The resulting adsorbents were characterized via FT-IR analysis to identify the functional groups that most contributed to the adsorption performance. Furthermore, the influence of Al2O3 nanoparticles was analysed on the adsorption capacities of the evaluated biomasses using batch systems at a temperature of 25°C and pH 6. All biomasses displayed a high content of cellulose, estimating a weight percentage of about 19.9%, 14.3%, and 13.1% for PB, OP, and CC samples, respectively. The FT-IR spectrum confirmed hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups, which contribute to enhancing the adsorption capacities of the modified biomasses. Functional adsorption capacity was observed for all biomasses after modification with Al2O3 nanoparticles, achieving at pH 6.0 a cadmium removal from 92% (CC-Al2O3 and PB-Al2O3) up to 95.8±0.3% (OP-Al2O3). In nickel ions, it was estimated a broader adsorption capacity at pH 6.0 of about 86±0.4% after using the CC-Al2O3 sample, 88±0.1% for the PB-Al2O3 adsorbent, and 98±0.2% for the OP-Al2O3 sample, confirming the suitability of these Al2O3-modified biomasses for the removal of heavy metal ions.

The use of γ-alumina (γ-Al2O3) nanoparticles as adsorbent to remove Cr(VI) from aqueous solution was investigated using batch experiments. Adsorption experiments were carried out for various initial doses of Al2O3, initial concentrations of chromium(VI), contact times and pH. The structure and morphology of the sorbent was characterized by XRD, SEM, and TEM techniques. Results demonstrated that the removal efficiency of chromium(VI) was increased by increasing the contact time, initial concentration, and pH. The results of the study showed that adsorption of chromium by γ-alumina nanoparticles reached equilibrium after 60 min and after that a little change of chromium removal efficiency was observed. Furthermore, kinetics of chromium sorption was well fitted by pseudo-second order kinetic model, and well explained by the Freundlich isotherm (R2 > 0.992). Overall, alumina nanoparticles recognized as an effective sorbent to remove chromium(VI) from aqueous solutions.

Przyczyną zainteresowania nanokompozytami są ich unikatowe właściwości fizyczne i chemiczne oraz rosnąca liczba potencjalnych zastosowań. Wykorzystywane są one w elektronice, ceramice, optyce, technikach laserowych, budownictwie, rolnictwie, medycynie, kosmetyce oraz kosmonautyce. Prowadzone są badania nad zastosowaniem nanomateriałów w nowoczesnych systemach podawania leków, fototerapii czy leczeniu chorób neurodegradacyjnych takich jak choroba Wilsona, Alzhaimera i Parkinsona [2]. Nanocząstki o właściwościach magnetycznych wykorzystywane są w diagnostyce, biologii molekularnej - do etykietowania biomolekuł oraz przy bezpośrednim podawaniu leków do komórek nowotworowych [3], jak również jako środki kontrastowe w rezonansie magnetycznym [1]. Stanowią składniki farb, baterii, środków konserwujących i pielęgnacyjnych, kosmetyków, katalizatorów, materiałów dentystycznych, sorbentów i materiałów ściernych.

The growing interest in nanostructural materials and their common application in various areas of life and industry, results in their increasing emission into the natural environment. Most of the present research on the influence of nanoparticles on living cells is carried out using animal or cultured human cells. However there are few data concerning the impact of nanoproducts on microorganisms isolated from the natural environment. The aim of this work was to determine the influence of alumina nanopowder as well as cobalt-modified alumina nanopowder on bacteria isolated from soil, water and air samples. The growth tests allowed to observe that Co-modified alumina nanopowder revealed the stronger antibacterial activity com-paring with alumina without modification. The strains of soil bacteria were the most sensitive to both tested nanopowders, especially to CoO/Al2O3. The growth of 93% of bacteria isolated from soil samples was inhibited by cobalt-modified alumina nanopowder, but only about 20% - by alumina without modification (mainly gram negative rods from genus Pseudomonas). Bacteria isolated from the air, especially from genus Staphylococcus were the less sensitive to alumina nanoparticles. However some of them were sensitive to cobaltmodified alumina nanopowder. It was noticed that in low concentration of nanoproduct, some adaptation processes, allowing bacteria to grow in a presence of nanopowder may be observed, even in case of cobalt-modified alumina characterized by more significant antibacterial properties. Moreover, the sensitivity to tested preparations was attributed to the particular bacterial strains, that was proved by different results obtained for the various strains of the same bacterial species.
