[PMID: 38692367 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
Thallium (Tl) is a potential toxicity element that poses significant ecological and environmental risks. Recently, a substantial amount of Tl has been released into the environment through natural and human activities, which attracts increasing attention. The determination of this hazardous and trace element is crucial for controlling its pollution. This article summarizes the advancement and progress in optimizing Tl detection techniques, including atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), voltammetry, inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-based methods, spectrophotometry, and X-ray-based methods. Additionally, it introduces sampling and pretreatment methods such as diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT), liquid-liquid extraction, solid phase extraction, and cloud point extraction. Among these techniques, ICP-mass spectrometry (MS) is the preferred choice for Tl detection due to its high precision in determining Tl as well as its species and isotopic composition. Meanwhile, some new materials and agents are employed in detection. The application of novel work electrode materials and chromogenic agents is discussed. Emphasis is placed on reducing solvent consumption and utilizing pretreatment techniques such as ultrasound-assisted processes and functionalized magnetic particles. Most detection is performed in aqueous matrices, while X-ray-based methods applied to solid phases are summarized which provide non-destructive analysis. This work improves the understanding of Tl determination technology while serving as a valuable resource for researchers seeking appropriate analytical techniques.

[PMID: 38400364 PMCID: PMC10892365 DOI: 10.3390/s24041206] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
This article presents a new working electrode based on a bismuth-plated, gold-based microelectrode array, which is suitable for determining thallium(I) species using anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). It allowed a significant increase in the sensitivity as compared to other voltammetric sensors. The main experimental conditions and the instrumental parameters were optimized. A very good proportionality between the Tl(I) peak current and its concentration was evidenced in the range from 5 × 10-10 up to 5 × 10-7 mol L-1 (R = 0.9989) for 120 s of deposition and from 2 × 10-10 up to 2 × 10-7 mol L-1 (R = 0.9988) for 180 s. A limit of detection (LOD) of 8 × 10-11 mol L-1 for a deposition time of 180 s was calculated. The effects of interfering ions on the Tl(I) analytical signal were studied. The proposed method was applied for quantitative Tl(I) detection in water certified reference material TM 25.5 as well as in spiked real water samples, for which satisfactory recovery values between 98.7 and 101.8% were determined.

Abstract
The prevalence of toxic element thallium (Tl) in soils is of increasing concern as a hidden hazard in agricultural systems and food chains. In the present work, pure biochar (as a comparison) and jacobsite (MnFe2O4)-biochar composite (MFBC) were evaluated for their immobilization effects in Tl-polluted agricultural soils (Tl: ∼10 mg/kg). Overall, MFBC exhibited an efficient effect on Tl immobilization, and the effect was strengthened with the increase of amendment ratio. After being amended by MFBC for 15 and 30 days, the labile fraction of Tl in soil decreased from 1.55 to 0.97 mg/kg, and from 1.51 to 0.88 mg/kg, respectively. In addition, pH (3.05) of the highly acidic soil increased to a maximum of 3.97 after the immobilization process. Since the weak acid extractable and oxidizable Tl were the preponderantly mitigated fractions and displayed a negative correlation with pH, it can be inferred that pH may serve as one of the most critical factors in regulating the Tl immobilization process in MFBC-amended acidic soils. This study indicated a great potential of jacobsite-biochar amendment in stabilization and immobilization of Tl in highly acidic and Tl-polluted agricultural soils; and it would bring considerable environmental benefit to these Tl-contaminated sites whose occurrence has significantly increased in recent decades near the pyrite or other sulfide ore mining and smelting area elsewhere.

Abstract
Exposure to thallium (Tl), a noxious heavy metal, poses significant health risks to both humans and animals upon ingestion. Therefore, monitoring Tl levels in the environment is crucial to prevent human exposure and reduce the risk of developing severe health problems. This paper presents the development of a highly sensitive Tl ions sensor through surface modification of a glassy carbon electrode with a nanocomposite comprising MnO2 magnetic sepiolite and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MnO2@Fe3O4/Sep/MWCNT/GCE). Multiple methodologies were employed to assess the performance of the newly developed sensor. By employing square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) to optimize the measurement conditions, notable enhancements were observed in the stripping peak currents of Tl (I) on the MnO2@Fe3O4/Sep/MWCNT/GCE surface. The effectiveness of the nanocomposite in facilitating electron transfer between the Tl (I) ions (guest) and the electrode (host) was demonstrated from the enhanced signals observed at the different modified electrode surfaces under optimal conditions. The developed sensor displayed a wide linear range of 0.1-1500 ppb for Tl (I) and a low detection limit of 0.03 ppb for Tl (I). It was found to be selective for Tl (I) ions while remaining unaffected by interfering non-target ions in the presence of the target ions. Despite its simple preparation procedure, the modified electrode exhibited high stability and excellent reproducibility for measuring Tl (I). The outstanding electroanalytical performances of the MnO2@Fe3O4/Sep/MWCNT/GCE electrode enabled its successful use as an ultrasensitive sensor for determining trace amounts of Tl in environmental samples.

Abstract
Herein, simultaneous determination of Tl (1) and Pb (II) has been carried out at the surface of a modified glassy carbon electrode with polydopamine functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes- BiNPs nanocomposite (BiNPs/MWCNTs-PDA/GC) using square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) technique. The morphologies, composition and, electrochemical properties of the BiNPs/MWCNTs-PDA/GC were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transition electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and, SWASV. The parameters affecting the stripping current response were investigated and optimized. The large specific area of MWCNTs and good electro-conductibility of BiNPs causes the BiNPs/MWCNTs-PDA/GC electrode to exhibit an excellent electro-catalytic effect with good separation peaks for Tl and Pb oxidation compared to bare GCE under the optimal conditions. The proposed sensor showed wide leaner ranges from 0.4-100 ppb and 100-400 ppb for Tl (I) and Pb (II). Low detection limits of 0.04 ppb for Tl (I) and 0.07 ppb for Pb (II) were achieved. The efficiency of the electrode after thirty days of storage in ambient conditions without using it and also with the ability to reuse for 16 days did not decrease significantly. In addition, the modified electrode with simple preparation method showed good reproducibility, and high selectivity for measuring target ions. The method was successfully implemented for the simultaneous determination of Tl (I) and Pb (II) in tap, mineral and waste water samples with acceptable recovery (from 99.1-103.2 for Tl (I) and 98.4-100.4 for Pb (II)).

Abstract
Thallium (Tl) is a trace metal with high toxicity. Comprehensive investigation of spatial distribution of Tl and microorganism is still limited in soils from mining area. In this study, 16S rRNA sequencing and network analysis were used for deciphering the co-occurrence patterns of bacterial communities in two different types of soil profiles around a typical Tl-bearing pyrite mine. The results showed that geochemical parameters (such as pH, S, Tl, Fe and TOM) were the driving forces for shaping the vertical distribution of microbial community. According to network analysis, a wide diversity of microbial modules were present in both soil profiles and affected by depth, significantly associated with variations in Tl geochemical fractionation. Phylogenetic information further unveiled that the microbial modules were mainly dominated by Fe reducing bacteria (FeRB), Fe oxidizing bacteria (FeOB), S oxidizing bacteria and Mn reducing bacteria. The results of metagenome indicated that Fe, Mn and S cycle in soil are closely involved in the biogeochemical cycle of Tl. The findings of co-occurrence patterns in the bacterial network and correlation between microorganisms and different geochemical fractions of Tl may benefit the strategy of bioremediation of Tl-contaminated soils with indigenous microbes.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions are one of the main sources of water pollution. Most heavy metal ions are carcinogens that pose a threat to both ecological balance and human health. With the increasing demand for heavy metal detection, electrochemical detection is favorable due to its high sensitivity and efficiency. Here, after discussing the pollution sources and toxicities of Hg(ii), Cd(ii), As(iii), Pb(ii), UO2(ii), Tl(i), Cr(vi), Ag(i), and Cu(ii), we review a variety of recent electrochemical methods for detecting heavy metal ions. Compared with traditional methods, electrochemical methods are portable, fast, and cost-effective, and they can be adapted to various on-site inspection sites. Our review shows that the electrochemical detection of heavy metal ions is a very promising strategy that has attracted widespread attention and can be applied in agriculture, life science, clinical diagnosis, and analysis.

Abstract
Thallium is an emerging pollutant reported in wastewater along with the increasing mining and smelting of thallium-containing ores in recent years. The complete removal of Tl(I) from wastewater is of significant emergency due to its high toxicity and mobility, however, Tl(I) removal is always confronted with numerous technical difficulties because of the extremely low Tl(I) concentration in wastewater and the disturbances of many accompanying impurity ions. Adsorption is currently the most widely used method for Tl(I) removal on industrial scale and varied kinds of adsorbents such as Prussian blue analogues, biosorbents, and metal oxides have been developed. However, the adsorption process of Tl(I) is always affected by the co-existing cations, resulting in low Tl(I) removal efficiency. Recently, the development of a variety of novel adsorbents or ion sensors based on macrocyclic compounds for enrichment and accurate determination of trace Tl(I) in aqueous solutions exhibits great potential for application in Tl(I) removal from wastewater with high selectivity and process efficiency. This paper provides an overview of the adsorption methods for Tl(I) removal from wastewater with emphasis on complexation properties between varied types of adsorbents and Tl(I). Future directions of research and development of adsorptive Tl(I) removal from industrial wastewater are proposed.

Abstract
In the present paper, for the first time, the integrated three-electrode screen-printed sensor with in situ plated bismuth film carbon working electrode was applied for the ultratrace determination of thallium(I) (Tl(I)). Under optimized conditions extremely low limits of detection were reached, 8.47 × 10-10 and 6.71 × 10-12 mol L-1 for the deposition times of 60 s and 300 s, respectively. The influences of foreign metal ions and surfactants on the voltammetric signal of thallium in natural samples were minimized using 1 × 10-5 mol L-1 EDTA and Amberlite XAD-7 resin added to the buffer solution (CH3COONH4, CH3COOH and NH4Cl) of pH = 4.6 ± 0.1. The developed voltammetric method with integrated three-electrode screen-printed sensor was validated with use of certified reference materials (surface, rain and natural water) and can be in future applied to field analyses of Tl(I).

Abstract
An analytical procedure regarding the voltammetric determination of germanium(iv) by adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) exploiting the in situ plated bismuth film electrode (BiFE) is described. The use of mercury free electrode as a working electrode is the first time proposed in AdSV germanium determination. The method is based on adsorptive accumulation of the Ge(iv)–chloranilic acid complex at a BiFE by a nonelectrochemical process followed by the cathodic stripping step. Experimental variables, including bismuth and chloranilic acid concentrations, deposition potential and time were carefully optimized. Under optimized conditions the cathodic stripping peak current was directly proportional to the concentration of Ge(iv) in the range from 3 × 10−9 to 1.5 × 10−7 mol L−1 with the correlation coefficient 0.997. Because the AdSV technique could be invalidated due to real samples matrix the influence of foreign ions, surface active substances, and humic substances on the Ge(iv) signal was precisely examined. The satisfying minimization of potential matrix interferences was also suggested. Analytical results of natural water samples analysis showed that the proposed procedure of trace germanium(iv) determination is suitable for direct environmental water analysis. An analytical procedure regarding the voltammetric determination of germanium(iv) by adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) exploiting the in situ plated bismuth film electrode (BiFE) is described.![]()

Abstract
The determination of ethyl [4-oxo-8-(3-chlorophenyl)-4,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-3-yl]acetate (ETTA), a new anticancer prodrug, using adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) was described for the first time. This method is based on adsorptive/reductive behaviour of ETTA at an in situ plated bismuth film electrode (BiFE) as a sensor. A number of experimental variables (e.g., a composition and pH of the supporting electrolyte, the conditions of bismuth film deposition, an accumulation potential and time, the scan rate, etc.) were thoroughly studied in order to achieve a high sensitivity. Experimental results under optimized conditions revealed an excellent linear correlation between the monitored voltammetric peak current and the ETTA concentration in the range of 2-50μgL-1 following an accumulation time of 300s. The limit of detection (LOD) for ETTA following 300s of an accumulation time was 0.4μgL-1. The proposed facile, sensitive and inexpensive method was successfully applied to the determination of ETTA in serum. The investigated prodrug was extracted from serum using SPE method.
