Article Synopsis
- Lead (Pb) is a toxic element that requires effective and eco-friendly methods for trace detection in environmental samples, particularly in river water.
- Calcium alginate beads (CA-beads) serve as a cost-effective biopolymer for extracting and preconcentrating Pb, achieving high efficiency with an enrichment factor of 50 and a detection limit of 2 μg L.
- The method demonstrated excellent accuracy and selectivity, with recovery rates between 94.8% and 100.2%, and proved reusable across six cycles, successfully measuring Pb concentrations below legal limits in river water samples.
