[PMID: 38782314 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Mercury pollution in waters attracts lots of attention due to its serious toxicity and high bioenrichment and many efforts have been devoted in the development of adsorbents for mercury detection and removal. Herein, a cellulose-based adsorbent Cell-TriA-HQ is functionalized with quinoline fluorophore by covalent immobilization through "Click reaction" with high yield. In addition to the admirable adsorptive performance, the prepared adsorbent exhibits excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards Hg (II) in water that the detection limit for Hg (II) is determined to be as low as 1.92 × 10-7 M. The sensitive fluorescence enhancement response is considered to be resulted from the inhibition of photo-induced electron transfer between triazole and quinoline groups and the reinforcement of structural rigidity. The easy manipulation along with excellent performance of adsorption capacity, detective ability and reusability for the multifunctional adsorbent makes it potential in mercury monitoring and removal from aqueous solutions in the field of water treatment.

RSC Adv 2022; 12:35712-35721. [PMID: 36545069 PMCID: PMC9748646 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra05436a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles were introduced onto cellulose nanofibers after being covalently functionalized with mercaptoacetic acid. We experimentally demonstrate that the nanocomposite is capable of selectively capturing Hg(ii) from aqueous samples down to trace level concentrations. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that energetically favorable R-S → Hg ← O-R bidentate complex formation enhances the rapid adsorption, leading to selective extraction of Hg(ii). Furthermore, the loss of ZrO2 particles during flow-through studies is controlled and restricted after binding to CNF rather than being used directly in the column. The Hg(ii) selectivity is primarily due to the Lewis soft-soft acid-base chelation of Hg(ii) with the mercapto functionalities of the adsorbent. The experimental observations depict a high sorption capacity of 280.5 mg g-1 for Hg(ii). The limit of detection and quantification of the proposed approach were found to be 0.04 μg L-1 and 0.15 μg L-1, respectively. Analytical method accuracy and validity were determined by analyzing Standard Reference Materials and by the standard addition method (recovery > 95% with a 5% RSD). The findings of a Student's t-test were found to be lower than the critical Student's t value. Real water samples were successfully analyzed using the developed procedure.

Abstract
Due to their numerous effects on human health and the natural environment, water contamination with heavy metals and metalloids, caused by their extensive use in various technologies and industrial applications, continues to be a huge ecological issue that needs to be urgently tackled. Additionally, within the circular economy management framework, the recovery and recycling of metals-based waste as high value-added products (VAPs) is of great interest, owing to their high cost and the continuous depletion of their reserves and natural sources. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art technologies developed for the removal and recovery of metal pollutants from wastewater by providing an in-depth understanding of their remediation mechanisms, while analyzing and critically discussing the recent key advances regarding these treatment methods, their practical implementation and integration, as well as evaluating their advantages and remaining limitations. Herein, various treatment techniques are covered, including adsorption, reduction/oxidation, ion exchange, membrane separation technologies, solvents extraction, chemical precipitation/co-precipitation, coagulation-flocculation, flotation, and bioremediation. A particular emphasis is placed on full recovery of the captured metal pollutants in various reusable forms as metal-based VAPs, mainly as solid precipitates, which is a powerful tool that offers substantial enhancement of the remediation processes' sustainability and cost-effectiveness. At the end, we have identified some prospective research directions for future work on this topic, while presenting some recommendations that can promote sustainability and economic feasibility of the existing treatment technologies.

Abstract
Preparing samples for analyses is perhaps the most important part to analyses. The varied functional groups present on the surface of biopolymers bestow them appropriate adsorption properties. Properties like biocompatibility, biodegradability, presence of different surface functional group, high porosity, considerable absorption capacity for water, the potential for modification, etc. turn biopolymers to promising candidates for varied applications. In addition, one of the most important parts of determination of an analyte in a matrix is sample preparation step and the efficiency of this step in solid phase extraction methods is largely dependent on the type of adsorbent used. Due to the unique properties of biopolymers they are considered an appropriate choice for using as sorbent in sample preparation methods that use from a solid adsorbent. Many review articles have been published on the application of diverse adsorbents in sample preparation methods, however despite the numerous advantages of biopolymers mentioned; review articles in this field are very few. Thus, in this paper we review the reports in different areas of sample preparation that use polysaccharides-based biopolymers as sorbents for extraction and determination of diverse organic and inorganic analytes.

Abstract
Heavy metals pollution of aqueous solutions generates considerable concerns as they adversely impact the environment and health of humans. Among the remediation technologies, adsorption with metal sulfide nanomaterials has proven to be a promising strategy due to their cost-effective, environmentally friendly, surface modulational, and amenable properties. Their excellent adsorption characteristics are attributed to the inherently exposed sulfur atoms that interact with heavy metals through various processes. This work presents a comprehensive overview of the sequestration of heavy metals from water using metal sulfide nanomaterials. The common methods of synthesis, the structures, and the supports for metal sulfide nano-adsorbents are accentuated. The adsorption mechanisms and governing conditions and parameters are stressed. Practical heavy metal remediation application in aqueous media using metal sulfide nanomaterials is highlighted, and the existing research gaps are underscored.
