Abstract
The introduction of selective recognition sites toward certain heavy metal ions (HMIs) is a great challenge, which has a major role when the separation of species with similar physicochemical features is considered. In this context, ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) developed based on the principle of molecular imprinting methodology, have emerged as an innovative solution. Recent advances in IIPs have shown that they exhibit higher selectivity coefficients than non-imprinted ones, which could support a large range of environmental applications starting from extraction and monitoring of HMIs to their detection and quantification. This review will emphasize the application of IIPs for selective removal of transition metal ions (including HMIs, precious metal ions, radionuclides, and rare earth metal ions) from aqueous solution by critically analyzing the most relevant literature studies from the last decade. In the first part of this review, the chemical components of IIPs, the main ion-imprinting technologies as well as the characterization methods used to evaluate the binding properties are briefly presented. In the second part, synthesis parameters, adsorption performance, and a descriptive analysis of solid phase extraction of heavy metal ions by various IIPs are provided.

Abstract
Cr (VI) exists in anion form and can be reduced to positive charged Cr (III) under certain conditions. Can positive charged Cr (III) be continually used for absorbing Cr (VI) to achieve cyclic accumulation of chromium? In this paper, an ion imprinting material for adsorption of Cr (VI) was prepared by dispersing polypyrrole (PPy) in a gelatin/chitosan (Gel/CS) hydrogel network, named Gel/CS/PPy. Based on the conversion of Cr (VI) to Cr (III), a cyclic enrichment process including adsorption-photoreduction-fixation-readsorption of Cr (VI) was established in Gel/CS/PPy hydrogel. The composition and structure of the Gel/CS/PPy were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric (TGA), texture analyzer (Universal TA), zeta potential and ultraviolet-visible-near infrared spectra (UV-vis-NIR). The conversion of Cr (VI) and Cr (III) and its promoting effect on readsorption were verified by XPS. The results showed that Gel/CS/PPy has good adsorption capacity for Cr (VI) and excellent photocatalytic ability to reduce Cr (VI) to Cr (III). Cr (III)-loaded Gel/CS/PPy can be further used to adsorb Cr (VI) and showed good adsorption efficiency even after four cycles. The optimal operating condition for Cr (VI) adsorption is pH = 3; 2 g/L dose of Gel/CS/PPy; and the adsorption capacity of Cr (VI) was about 106.8 mg/g after six adsorption cycles. Since Gel/CS/PPy is composed of organic components, high purity chromium can be recovered by simple calcination method later. Therefore, the synthesized Gel/CS/PPy has great potential in the practical application of low concentration Cr (VI) treatment in water.

Abstract
Anthropogenic activities are principally responsible for the manifestation of toxic and carcinogenic hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) triggering water pollution that threatens the environment and human health. The World Health Organisation (WHO) restricts Cr(VI) ion concentration to 0.1 and 0.05 mg/L in inland surface water and drinking water, respectively. The available technologies for Cr(VI) ion removal from water were highlighted with an emphasis on the adsorption technology. Furthermore, the characteristics of several polypyrrole-based adsorbents were scrutinized including amino-containing compounds, biosorbents, graphene/graphene oxide, clay materials and many other additives with reported effective Cr(VI) ion uptake. This efficiency in Cr(VI) ions adsorption is attributed to enhanced redox properties, increased number of functional groups as well as the synergistic behaviour of the materials making up the composites. The Langmuir isotherm best described the adsorption processes with maximum adsorption capacities ranging from 3.40-961.50 mg/g. The regeneration of Cr(VI) ion-laden adsorbents was studied. Ion exchange, electrostatic attractions, complexation, chelation reactions with protonated sites and reduction were the mechanisms of adsorption. Nevertheless, there are limited details on comprehensive adsorbent regeneration studies to prolong robustness in adsorption-desorption cycles and utilization of the Cr(VI) ion-laden adsorbent in other areas of research to limit the threat of secondary pollution.

Abstract
Responsive controlled-release systems can not only improve the efficiency of agrochemical utilization but also increase crop yield and reduce environmental pollution caused by excessive use of agrochemicals. In this paper, the helix-coil structural transition of gelatin was adopted to construct a novel stimuli-responsive controlled-release system called polypyrrole/Ca-alginate/gelatin (PPy/Ca-alginate/Gel). In PPy/Ca-alginate/Gel, Ca-alginate and gelatin form a semi-interpenetrating network in which uncross-linked gelatin can undergo a free helix-coil structural transition due to the photothermal effect of PPy. The structural transition of gelatin will lead to changes in the functional groups and microstructure of semi-interpenetrating hydrogels and furthermore achieve the release of template agrochemical molecules embedded in hydrogels. By using carbendazim as a template molecule, the photothermal conversion and controlled release of PPy/Ca-alginate/Gel were systematically studied. After 600 s of light irradiation, its temperature could be increased by 17 ℃. The release of carbendazim in microspheres reached 91.8 % after 8 h of light irradiation, while it was only 13.3 % in the dark. The results indicated that PPy/Ca-alginate/Gel have excellent controlled-release and sustained-release properties and broad application potential in agriculture.

Abstract
Magnetic Zr-based metal organic framework (UiO-66) @Polypyrrole (magnetic UiO-66@Ppy) was prepared to eliminate Cr(VI) from water. SEM and TEM results clearly revealed that the magnetic UiO-66@Ppy was a core-double-shell structure with the core of Fe3O4, inner shell UiO-66, and outer shell Ppy. The introduction of zirconium MOFs UiO-66 effectively prevented the agglomeration of polypyrrole and provided more available adsorption sites, the surface area increased from 9.57 m2/g (Ppy) to 10.57 m2/g (Fe3O4@Ppy) and 52.49 m2/g (magnetic UiO-66@Ppy). The magnetic UiO-66@Ppy possessed a high adsorption capacity of 259.1 mg/g in removing Cr(VI) from water. Adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order model. The removal of Cr(VI) involved the following mechanisms: (1) electrostatic attraction and ions exchange, the HCrO4- was adsorbed on the surface of magnetic UiO-66@Ppy by the protonated N(PpyN+) and Cl-; (2) reduction, Cr(VI) was reduced to Cr(III) by the reductive functional group(-NH-); (3) chelation, Cr(III) was immobilized on adsorbent by amine groups.

Abstract
Abstract
Responsive molecularly imprinted microgels (MIGs) have gained a lot of interest due to their responsive specificity and selectivity for target compounds. Study on MIGs is rapidly increasing due to their quick responsive behavior in various stimuli like pH and temperature. MIGs show unique property of morphology control on in-situ synthesis of nanoparticles in response of variation in reactant concentration. Literature related to synthesis, parameters, characterization, applications and prospects of MIGs are critically reviewed here. Range of templates, monomers, initiators and crosslinkers are summarized for designing of desired MIGs. This review article describes effect of variation in reactants combination and composition on morphology, imprinting factor and percentage yield of MIGs. Hydrolysis of similar templates using MIGs is also described. Relation between percentage hydrolysis and hydrolysis time of targets at different temperatures and template:monomer ratio is also analyzed. Possible imprinting modes of ionic/non-ionic templates and its series are also generalized on the basis of previous literature. MIGs are investigated as efficient anchoring vehicles for adsorption, catalysis, bio-sensing, drug delivery, inhibition and detection.
