Aiming at the generation of new functionalised thiosalicylate-based ionic liquids, a polymeric hydrogel consisting of 1-hexylimidazole propionitrile thiosalicylate [HIMP][TS], with a solid biomaterial support based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-alginate beads, was produced. This study aimed to develop a treatment method for removing manganese (Mn) heavy metal from industrial wastewater, which is known to be toxic and harmful towards the environment and human health. The method utilised an adsorption-based approach with an alginate adsorbent that incorporated a functionalised thiosalicylate-based ionic liquid.

The effects were assessed according to the previous results on sub-acute toxicity test after exposing fish to several concentrations (0.0, 2.
