Abstract

Aluminum oxide nanoparticles have recently been applied to water treatment as adsorbents by researchers. In this study, aluminum oxide nanoparticles (AlONPs) were synthesized using scrap aluminum foil through a straightforward, inexpensive, and green approach, and their performance in adsorbing lead (II) ions from an aqueous solution was assessed. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) to analyze their bonding nature, particle size, phase composition, and surface morphology. They exhibited an average particle size of 32.73 nm, consisting predominantly of γ-Al2O3, with small amounts of α-Al2O3 and a minor unknown phase. The lead adsorption efficiency was evaluated under optimized parameters, including pH, contact time, and doses of both adsorbate and adsorbent. The results demonstrated that the AlONPs achieved a 98% removal efficiency within 30 minutes of contact time at a pH of 5.5. Additionally, the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model (R² value of 0.9972) and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (qe) value of 37.97 mg/g) were shown to fit the lead adsorption process better than other models. Hence, the synthesized AlONPs offer potential as nanoparticle adsorbents for removing lead (II) ions from aqueous solutions.

Abstract

Healthy soil is the key component for growing high-quality crops and sustaining agriculture. The study was carried out to evaluate the impacts of tobacco cultivation on the soil ecosystem using soil fertility, quality, and health indices. Twenty-four (24) soil samples were collected and analyzed for important soil inherent properties, as well as soil macro- and micronutrients. The results revealed that tobacco cultivation significantly reduced soil organic matter (SOM), carbon-nitrogen ratio (C: N), total nitrogen (TN), exchangeable potassium (EK), and available copper (ACu). Soil fertility index (SFI) suggested that the decline rate of soil fertility in the tobacco field (TF) (5.84%) was lower than in the non-tobacco field (NTF) (16.33%). However, the degradation rate of soil quality index (SQI) and soil chemical health index (SHI) in TF (19.23% and 27.87%) was higher than in NTF (9.98% and 14.08%). The SHI values had a positive linear relationship (0.760) with tobacco productivity. For every degree (0.01) increase in SHI value, tobacco leaf production increased by 6.40 kg/ha, while the contribution of SHI to productivity was 57.81%. Excessive application of chemical fertilizers in TF may sustain short-term soil fertility but gradually degrade soil quality and health, disrupting the long-term productivity of the soil ecosystem.
