Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1324:343003. [PMID: 39218568 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.343003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/21/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Some heavy metals could be ingested into human body through breathing besides diet and drinking. Atmospheric particulates and smoke are main sources of this kind for the metals' exposure to human. Compared with environmental water, the methodologies for trace metals in particulates and smoke samples with more complex matrix are much less. Magnetic functional sorbents can be designed to remove complex matrix and enrich target analytes. The combination of magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) with highly sensitive inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection is a good alternative for the analytical purpose. (92). RESULTS Magnetic polymers were synthesized through free radical polymerization with Fe3O4 nanoparticles as the core and 2-methyl-2-hydroxyethyl 2-acrylate-2-hydroxyethyl ester phosphate as external modifier. The sorbent showed a high phosphorus content (2.7 wt%) and good selectivity to target REEs, along with good reusability (at least 45 times) and chemical stability. With the consumption of 150 mL aqueous solution, an enrichment factor of 300 was obtained by the proposed method, leading to low detection limits (0.001-0.2 ng L-1) for 15 REEs. The application potential of the method was further evaluated by analyzing local atmospheric particulate and cigar smoke samples. Recovery of 86.3-107 % in digested total suspended particulate (TSP) was obtained for 15 REEs, demonstrating a good anti-interference ability of the method. Target REEs in TSP, PM2.5 and PM10 samples were found to be 0.01-2.81, 0.006-1.09 and 0.009-2.46 ng m-3, respectively, and none of them were detected in the collected cigar smoke. (148) SIGNIFICANCE: The method of MSPE-ICP-MS was demonstrated with good potential for trace analysis in complex sample matrix, probably due to the good selectivity of the functionalized polymers. With the design and fabrication of specific functionalized magnetic sorbents, other heavy metals can be monitored in those samples which would be intake by human breathing. It provided an efficient strategy for the evaluation of metals' health risk in particulates and smoke samples. (69).

Abstract
Microbes used for the recovery of rare earth elements (REEs) from mining wastewater indicated traces of Escherichia coli (E. coli, 2149.6 μg/g), Bacillus sphaericus (1636.6 μg/g), Bacillus mycoides (1469.3 μg/g), and Bacillus cereus (1083.9 μg/g). Of these, E. coli showed an affinity for REEs than non-REEs (Mn and Zn). The amount of heavy REEs adsorbed (1511.1 μg/g) on E. coli was higher than light REEs (638.0 μg/g) due to the process of increasing adsorption with decreasing ionic radius. Additionally, E. coli demonstrated stability in the recovery of REEs from mining wastewater, as evidenced by 4 cycles. SEM-EDS, XPS and FTIR showed that REEs had a disruptive effect on cells, REEs absorbed and desorbed on the cell surface including ion exchange with ions such as Na+, ligand binding with functional groups like -NH2. Finally, the cost assessment confirmed the economically feasible of E. coli in recovery of REEs from mining wastewater.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 247:125831.

Abstract
From a practical standpoint, it is still challenging to develop adsorbents with high adsorption capacity and outstanding selectivity for rhenium in uranium ore leaching solution. In this study, in order to explore the structure-property relationship, four nucleobases (Adenine, Guanine, Hypoxanthine and Xanthine) were used as functionalization reagents to modify cellulose (MCC-g-GMA-A, MCC-g-GMA-G, MCC-g-GMA-H and MCC-g-GMA-X) via radiation method. The effect of the type of nucleobases on the adsorption performance was evaluated by batch and dynamic experiments. The order of maximum adsorption capacity was MCC-g-GMA-A (194.0 mg g-1) > MCC-g-GMA-G (123.4 mg g-1) > MCC-g-GMA-H (45.59 mg g-1) > MCC-g-GMA-X (23.43 mg g-1), which was associated with the category of nitrogen-functional groups. Different nitrogen-containing functional groups have different degrees of protonation, which leads to differences in the interaction of the adsorbent with Re(VII). Notably, the adsorbents were able to selectively capture trace Re(VII) from the simulated uranium ore leaching solution. The FT-IR, XPS analyses, DFT theoretical calculations exhibited that the adsorption mechanism of nucleobases functionalized cellulose microspheres and Re(VII) was electrostatic interaction. MCC-g-GMA-A and MCC-g-GMA-G exhibited excellent selectivity towards Re(VII), which are potential adsorbents for Re(VII) recovery in uranium ore leaching solutions.

Abstract
The separation and recycling of rare earth elements (REEs) are very important owing to the high demand, limited resource, specific usages, and environmental issues. In this work, two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx MXene was introduced to remove REEs (Nd(III) and La(III)) from water, and its physicochemical properties were conducted by HRTEM, SEM-EDS, XRD, FTIR, and XPS. Various parameters, such as initial pH, REEs initial concentration, contact time, and temperature, were investigated by batch experiment, respectively. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetic and isotherm were examined to analyze the adsorption behavior and adsorption mechanism. Nd(III) and La(III) have a good affinity with Ti3C2Tx MXene surface functional groups (-F, -OH, and containing oxygen groups). The maximum adsorption capacities of Ti3C2Tx MXene for Nd(III) and La(III) were 229.85 mg/g and 175.83 mg/g at T = 333 K, respectively. The adsorption data of Nd(III) on Ti3C2Tx MXene fitted well with the Freundlich isotherms model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. However, the best fitting for La(III) adsorption on Ti3C2Tx MXene was described by both pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order model. Thermodynamic study of Nd(III) and La(III) adsorption on Ti3C2Tx MXene showed that the reaction was a spontaneous and endothermic process. These results indicated Ti3C2Tx MXene had a great potential in extracting REEs from an aqueous solution.

Abstract
It has been a major challenge to develop stable and cost-effective porous materials that efficiently recover heavy rare earth elements (HREEs) due to ever-increasing demand, low availability and high cost of HREEs. This study presents two novel benzylphosphate-based covalent porous organic polymers (BPOP-1 and BPOP-2) that were prepared by facile one-pot Friedel-Crafts reactions. Various analytical techniques are used to investigate the successful syntheses of BPOP materials and establish their material properties, which include an unusual crystalline nature, large surface area, hierarchical pore structure, and superior chemical stabilities. The BPOPs effectively adsorb, and thus remove HREEs from aqueous media. In particular, BPOP-1 had higher phosphate content and exhibits superior adsorption capacities (Eu3+: 289.5; Gd3+: 292.7; Tb3+: 294.4; Dy3+: 301.9 mg/g) than BPOP-2, while BPOP-2 had higher mesoporosity and correspondingly supports faster adsorption kinetics. Remarkably, both BPOP materials exhibit some of the highest HREE adsorption capacities reported to date, the selective capture of Dy3+ ions, and excellent cyclic adsorption/desorption properties. We provide a potential adsorption mechanism for Dy3+ capture by the BPOP adsorbent. These demonstrate that introducing phosphate functionality into a robust porous polymer backbone with high surface area is a promising strategy for selective HREEs capture from wastewater.

Abstract
Rare-earth elements (REEs) are 17 elements of the periodic table primarily consisting of lanthanides. In modern society, the usage of REEs is ubiquitous in almost all modern gadgets and therefore efficient recovery and separation of REEs are of high importance. Selective adsorption and chelation of REEs in solid sorbents is a unique and sustainable process for their recovery. In this work, single-stranded oligos with 100 units of thymine were grafted onto carboxylated mesoporous carbon to synthesize a sorbent with phosphorus and oxygen functionalities. The sorbent was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Three different REEs with varying atomic radii and densities, Lu, Dy, and La, were adsorbed onto the carbon from aqueous solutions. It was observed that the adsorbed amounts increased with the increase in the atomic radius or decrease in the atomic density. Calculation of the distribution coefficients for all the equilibrium adsorption amounts suggested that adsorption is more effective in the lower concentration region. The L3-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure confirmed a 3+ oxidation state of REEs in the adsorbed phase. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) confirmed the binding of REEs with oxygen functionalities in the adsorbed phase. The radial distribution functions calculated from the EXAFS data suggest a longer RE-O distance for La compared to those for Lu and Dy. The coordination numbers and Debye-Waller factors have typical values of about 8-9 atoms and 0.01-0.02 Å2, respectively.
