A new analytical method was developed for on-line monitoring of residual coagulants (aluminium and iron salts) in potable water. The determination was based on a sequential procedure coupling an extraction/enrichment step of the analytes onto a modified resin and a spectrophotometric measurement of a surfactant-sensitized binary complex formed between eluted analytes and Chrome Azurol S. The optimization of the solid phase extraction was performed using factorial design and a Doehlert matrix considering six variables: sample percolation rate, sample metal concentration, flow-through sample volume (all three directly linked to the extraction step), elution flow rate, concentration and volume of eluent (all three directly linked to the elution step). A specific reagent was elaborated for sensitive and specific spectrophotometric determination of Al(III) and Fe(III), by optimizing surfactant and ligand concentrations and buffer composition. The whole procedure was automated by a multisyringe flow injection analysis (MSFIA) system. Detection limits of 4.9 and 5.6 microg L(-1) were obtained for Al(III) and Fe(III) determination , respectively, and the linear calibration graph up to 300 microg L(-1) (both for Al(III) and Fe(III)) was well adapted to the monitoring of drinking water quality. The system was successfully applied to the on-site determination of Al(III) and Fe(III) at the outlet of two water treatment units during two periods of the year (winter and summer conditions).

To tackle the problem of developing efficient adsorbents for the selective removal of copper ions from wastewater, this investigation focused on the synthesis of Fe-GO/MMT/SA and Al-GO/MMT/SA copper ion adsorbent materials (Fe-GMS and Al-GMS), respectively, by merging two distinct metal ions (Fe(III) and Al(III)) with sodium alginate (SA), graphene oxide (GO), and montmorillonite (MMT). By introducing metal ions with different coordination configurations, the slit structure and pore density of the adsorbents can be effectively controlled, thereby enhancing the selectivity for copper ion adsorption. The results show that Fe-GMS has excellent adsorption capacity for Cu(II) compared with Al(III), and the adsorption capacity and distribution coefficient are 116.

The ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) of epoxides with CO or anhydrides is a promising strategy to produce sustainable polycarbonates and polyesters. Currently, most catalysts are reliant on scarce and expensive cobalt as the active center, while more abundant aluminum and iron catalysts often suffer from lower activities. Here, two novel heterodinuclear catalysts, featuring abundant Al(III), Fe(III), and K(I) active centers, are synthesized, and their performance in the polymerization of four different monomer combinations is compared to that of their Co(III) analogue.

To remediate surface water as the Doce River and spring waters from Minas Gerais, Brazil, this study examined the possibility of natural serpentinite mining tailings as a sustainable alternative for removing aluminum (III), iron (III), and manganese (II). The study used a Box-Behnken experimental design to examine how initial metal concentration, adsorbate dosage, and adsorption time affect metal removal effectiveness. Results demonstrated impressive performance, with removal rates exceeding 80 % for Al(III) and Fe(III) within the initial 5 min, and 60 % for Mn(II) within 30 min.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the interactions and hydration characteristics of hydrated trivalent metal nitrate salts (Fe(NO3)·9H2O and Al(NO3)·9H2O) using advanced spectroscopic techniques like Raman and sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy across various frequency ranges.
- Key findings include the effects of Lewis acidity of the metal ions on the spectral properties, specifically how it impacts the splitting and frequency shifts of nitrate bands, as well as highlighting unique solvation environments in solution.
- Interestingly, aluminum nitrate disrupts surface water structure more significantly than iron nitrate, despite aluminum being a weaker Lewis acid, suggesting that aluminum's unique properties lead to more pronounced surface solvation effects.

Acid-base dissociable antibiotic-metal complexes are known to be emerging contaminants in the aquatic environments. However, little information is available on the photochemical properties and toxicity of these complex forms. This study investigated the spectral properties of three fluoroquinolones (FQs) with and without metal ions Fe(III), Cu(II), and Al(III) in solutions under different pH conditions, as well as evaluated the changes in toxicity due to the complex with these metal ions using luminescent bacteria (vibrio fischeri).
