Abstract
Mercury is a toxic environmental element, so it was necessary to prepare a new, highly efficient, cheap sorbent to remove it. A mesoporous thioacetamide/chitosan (MTA/CS) was manufactured via a simplistic strategy; the chitin deacetylation to gain chitosan (CS) and the addition of thioacetamide. The as-prepared MTA/CS was characterized using X-ray diffraction, EDX, SEM, FTIR, and BET surface analysis. According to the findings, the MTA/CS was effectively synthesized. The removal behaviors of Hg2+ onto MTA/CS composite were inspected, which suggested that the MTA/CS composite exhibited great sorption properties for Hg2+ in liquid solutions. The maximal Hg2+ sorption capacity was 195 mg/g. The effects of temperature, Hg2+ concentration, contacting time, and MTA/CS concentration on sorption were analyzed. The 2nd-order model and Langmuir isotherm were suitable for the physicochemical adsorption processes. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the Hg2+ adsorption process onto the MTA/CS composite is exothermic and occurred spontaneously. The desorption condition of Hg2+ from its loaded MTA/CS was also gained. Likewise, the MTA/CS sorbent was undoubtedly regenerated by 0.8 M NaNO3 80 min contacting and 1:50 S:L ratio. The versatility and durability of MTA/CS sorbent were investigated via nine sorption-extraction cycles. The optimum parameters were applied to wastewater. Based on the result, the as-prepared MTA/CS might be a potential sorbent for removing Hg2+ from liquid solutions.

Abstract
Urban surface deposited sediments (USDS) are unique indicators of local pollution that pose a potential threat to the living environment and human health. Ekaterinburg is a highly populated metropolitan area in Russia with rapid urbanization and industrialization activities. In Ekaterinburg's residential areas, about 35, 12, and 16 samples are represented by green zones, roads, driveways, and sidewalks, respectively. The total concentrations of heavy metals was detected using a chemical analyzer inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Zn, Sn, Sb, and Pb have the highest concentrations in the green zone, while V, Fe, Co, and Cu represent the utmost values on roads. Moreover, Mn and Ni are the prevailing metals in the fine sand fraction of driveways along with sidewalks. Broadly, the high pollution in the studied zones is generated by anthropogenic activities and traffic emissions. The potential ecological risk (RI) was observed in high risk (IR > 600), even though the results of all heavy metals reveal no adverse health effects from the considered noncarcinogenic metal for adults and children by different exposure pathways except the children's exposure to Co in case of the dermal contact, where the HI values of Co for children in the studied zones are higher than the proposed level (> 1). In all urban zones, the total carcinogenic risk (TLCR) values are predicted as a high potential inhalation exposure.

Abstract
A new synthetic material, namely, (3-(((4-((5-(((S)-hydroxyhydrophosphoryl)oxy)-2-nitrobenzylidene) amino) phenyl) imino) methyl)-4-nitrophenyl hydrogen (R)-phosphonate)), was subjected to a quaternary ammonium salt and named (HNAP/QA). Several characterizations, such as FTIR spectrometry, 1H-NMR analysis, 13C-NMR analysis, 31P-NMR Analysis, TGA analysis, and GC-MS analysis, were performed to ensure its felicitous preparation. HNAP/QA is capable of the selective adsorption of W(VI) ions from its solutions and from its rock leachate. The optimum factors controlling the adsorption of W(VI) ions on the new adsorbent were studied in detail. Furthermore, kinetics and thermodynamics were studied. The adsorption reaction fits the Langmuir model. The sorption process of the W(VI) ions is spontaneous due to the negative value of ∆G° calculated for all temperatures, while the positive value of ∆H° proves that the adsorption of the W(VI) ions adsorption on HNAP/QA is endothermic. The positive value of ∆S° suggests that the adsorption occurs randomly. Ultimately, the recovery of W(IV) from wolframite ore was conducted successfully.

Abstract
A new nano-silica/chitosan (SiO2/CS) sorbent was created using a wet process to eliminate uranium(VI) from its solution. Measurements using BET, XRD, EDX, SEM, and FTIR were utilized to analyze the production of SiO2/CS. The adsorption progressions were carried out by pH, SiO2/CS dose, temperature, sorbing time, and U(VI) concentration measurements. The optimal condition for U(VI) sorption (165 mg/g) was found to be pH 3.5, 60 mg SiO2/CS, for 50 min of sorbing time, and 200 mg/L U(VI). Both the second-order sorption kinetics and Langmuir adsorption model were observed to be obeyed by the ability of SiO2/CS to eradicate U(VI). Thermodynamically, the sorption strategy was a spontaneous reaction and exothermic. According to the findings, SiO2/CS had the potential to serve as an effectual sorbent for U(VI) displacement.

Abstract
In this study, the human health risks of potentially harmful elements (PHEs) in urban surface deposited sediments (USDS) were examined by collecting urban dust samples, measuring their PHE concentrations, and using index evaluation. About 35, 12 and 16 samples are represented a green zones, roads, driveways and sidewalks in residential areas of Ekaterinburg, respectively. The dust fraction (0.002-0.1 mm) was obtained by sieving, filtration, and decantation process. Total concentrations of 10 PHEs were measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The highest concentrations of Pb were found in USDS from green zones, while Fe, V, Mn, Co, Ni, Sn, and Sb on roads, Cu and Zn on driveways and sidewalks. The contamination levels in the investigated land-use areas were studied, where the highest contamination was contributed from Sb in the driveways and sidewalk. Moreover, the pollution in the studied zones was a high load, contributing to anthropogenic activities and traffic emissions. No non-cancerogenic risk was attributed from the PHEs based on the results of health indices (HI < 1) for both adult and children, except Co and Ni which has HI > 1 for children. The total carcinogenic risk (TLCR) in all urban landscape areas is defined as a high potential inhalation exposure and a low potential ingestion and dermal exposure.

Abstract
A new sorbent cetylpyridinium bromide/polyvinylchloride (CPB/PVC) was prepared and tested to extract rare earth elements (REEs) from their chloride solutions. It was identified by FTIR, TGA, SEM, EDX, and XRD. The impact of various factors such as pH, RE ion initial concentration, contacting time, and dose amount via sorption process was inspected. The optimum pH was 6.0, and the equilibrium contact time was reached at 60 min at 25 °C. The prepared adsorbent (CPB/PVC) uptake capacity was 182.6 mg/g. The adsorption of RE ions onto the CPB/PVC sorbent was found to fit the Langmuir isotherm as well as pseudo-second-order models well. In addition, the thermodynamic parameters of RE ion sorption were found to be exothermic and spontaneous. The desorption of RE ions from the loaded CPB/PVC sorbent was investigated. It was observed that the optimum desorption was achieved at 1.0 M HCl for 60 min contact time at ambient room temperature and a 1:60 solid: liquid phase ratio (S:L). As a result, the prepared CPB/PVC sorbent was recognized as a competitor sorbent for REEs.

Abstract
Binary transition metal fluorides are textbook examples combining complex electronic features with most fundamental molecular structures. High-valent nickel fluorides are among the strongest known fluorinating and oxidizing agents, but there is a lack of experimental structural and spectroscopic investigations on molecular NiF3 or NiF4 . Apart from their demanding synthesis, also their quantum-chemical description is difficult due to their open shell nature and low-lying excited electronic states. Distorted tetrahedral NiF4 (D2d ) and trigonal planar NiF3 (D3h ) molecules were produced by thermal evaporation and laser ablation of nickel atoms in a fluorine/noble gas mixture and spectroscopically identified by a joint matrix-isolation and quantum-chemical study. Their vibrational band positions provide detailed insights into their molecular structures.
