Despite the large number of experimental as well as theoretical investigations available in the literature, some properties of the hydration structure of Sr(II), for example, the coordination number, are still ambiguous. The presented molecular dynamics study based on a most suitable ab initio QM/MM protocol allowed a detailed investigation of structural and dynamical properties of this hydrate, which shows a considerable degree of internal flexebility as well as ligand mobility within the first shell. Despite the high computational effort an exceptionally long QM/MM simulation had to be carried out to obtain sufficient information to investigate first shell ligand exchange reactions.

Solid electrolyte materials with high structural stability and excellent proton conductivity (σ) have long been a popular and challenging research topic in the fuel cell field. This problem can be addressed because of the crystalline metal-organic frameworks' (MOFs') high structural stability, adjustable framework composition, and dense H-bonded networks. Herein, one highly stable Sr(II) MOF, {[Sr(Htmidc)(HO)]·4HO} () (Htmidc = 2-(1H-tetrazolium-1-methylene)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid) was successfully fabricated, which was structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electrochemically examined by the AC impedance determination.

Ladle slag, a by-product of steelmaking, presents a valuable strategy for waste reduction and valorization in wastewater treatment. This work demonstrates the successful simultaneous removal of Al(III), B(III), Ba(II), Cr(III), Mg(II), Sr(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II), from electroplating wastewater by ladle slag. First, Cr(III) and Pb(II) removals were evaluated in single synthetic systems by analyzing the influence of pH, temperature, and ladle slag dosage.

In response to this need, our team developed a simple preparation method for stable sodium titanates which can serve as efficient agents for removal of radionuclides from water. With an emphasis on an environmentally friendly synthesis, the resulting materials were defined by a range of means and methods measuring pH, ionic strength, contact time or metal ion concentration in order to assess their potential for use and applications as sorbents.

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was applied to the determination of scaling ions in oilfield-produced water employing underwater measurements. Initially, the stability of plasma was verified using four different optical setups and expansion of the laser beam, and a combination of an achromatic lens with a meniscus lens were necessary to stabilize the plasma. Preliminary experiments demonstrated that only the determinations of Ca(II) and Sr(II) ions were feasible while the signal for the Mg(II) ion was absent and the sensitivity for Ba(II) was very low.

Sulfonic resins are highly efficient cation exchangers widely used for metal removal from aqueous solutions. Herein, a new sulfonation process is designed for the sulfonation of algal/PEI composite (A*PEI, by reaction with 2-propylene-1-sulfonic acid and hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid). The new sulfonated functionalized sorbent (SA*PEI) is successfully tested in batch systems for strontium recovery first in synthetic solutions before investigating with multi-component solutions and final validation with seawater samples.
