Enhanced and selective removal of Pb2+ and Cu2+ in the presence of high concentration of K+, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ were achieved by adsorption on biomass of baker's yeast modified with ethylenediaminetetraacetic dianhydride (EDTAD). The modified biomass was found to have high adsorption capacities and fast rates for Pb2+ and Cu2+, and it also displayed consistently high levels of metal uptake over the pH range from 2.7 to 6.0. From Langmuir isotherm, the adsorption capacities for Pb2+ and Cu2+ were found to be 192.3 and 65.0 mg g(-1), respectively, which are about 10 and 14 times higher than that of the unmodified biomass. Competitive biosorption experiments showed that the co-ions of K+, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ had little effects on the uptake of Pb2+ and Cu2+ even at the concentration of 1.0 mol L(-1). The adsorbed Pb2+ and Cu2+ on the modified biomass could be effectively desorbed in an EDTA solution, and the regenerated biomass could be reused repeatedly with little loss of the adsorption capacity.

(Mtb) is the pathogenic agent of tuberculosis (TB). Intracellular survival plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Mtb in a manner that is dependent on an array of transcriptional regulators for Mtb. However, the functionality of JTY_0672, a member of the TetR family of transcriptional regulators, remains unknown.

Synthetic antioxidants are often introduced to biodiesel to increase its oxidative stability, and -butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ) has been selected due to its high efficiency for this purpose. The monitoring of antioxidants in biodiesel therefore provides information on the oxidative stability of biodiesels. Herein, a laser-induced graphene (LIG) electrode is introduced as a new sensor for detecting -butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ) in biodiesel samples.

Ferrihydrite (Fh), a widely distributed mineral in the environment, plays a crucial role in the geochemical cycling of elements. This study used experimental and computational approaches to investigate the adsorption behavior of seven heavy metal ions on Fh. The pH edge analysis revealed that the adsorption capacity followed the order: Pb > Cu > Zn > Cd > Ni > Co > Mn, with Pb showed the highest adsorption.

In this study, an optical sensor, JA/(2,6-di((E)-benzylidene)cyclohexan-1-one), was synthesized and characterized using H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. The sensor exhibited high efficiency and selectivity in detecting Pb ions, even in the presence of potential interfering ions such as Mn, Cu, Co, Cr, Ni, Ce, Hg, and Cd in aqueous solutions. The interaction of JA with Pb resulted in a significant enhancement of fluorescence intensity, suggesting the formation of a stable complex.

Limestone mining waste and its derived CaO were checked as an adsorbents of pb, Cu, and Cd ions from water solution. The characterization of Limestone and calcined limestone was studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Surface area measurements (BET). The optimum conditions of sorbent dosage, pH, initial concentration, and contact time factors were investigated for pristine limestone and calcined limestone absorbents.
