The presence of exorbitant arsenic contamination in the aquatic environment causes astronomically immense health quandaries affecting millions of people, which may lead to death in the case of prolonged indigestion of arsenic-containing drinking water. Herein, we are reporting porous chelating resin with an iron precursor for the removal of arsenic ions from water. Weak acid cation resin was functionalized under varying experimental conditions to get a suitable resin with high arsenic uptake.

Herein, we prepared the newly modified magnetic MXene (MX/FeO) nanocomposite using solvothermal approach and investigated its adsorption behavior to study the removal efficiency of Hg(II) ions from aqueous solution. The effect of adsorption parameters such as adsorbent dose, time, concentration, and pH were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM).
