N,N-dibutyl-N1-benzoylthiourea (DBBT) impregnated onto a polymeric matrix, Amberlite XAD-16 was prepared. The separation and enrichment of Ag(I) from solution was investigated. Effective extraction conditions were optimized in column methods prior to determination by atomic absorption spectrometry. The optimum pH range for quantitative adsorption is 2-5. Quantitative recovery of Ag was achieved by stripping with 1 mol L(-1) thiourea in 1 mol L(-1) HCl. The sorption capacity of resin is 0.115 mmol Ag+ g(-1) resin. The relative standard deviation and detection limit was 3.1% for 1 microg Ag+ mL(-1) solution and 0.11 microg L(-1), respectively. The method was used for the determination of silver in geological water samples.

Bismuth-layered ferroelectric nanomaterials exhibit great potential for piezo-photocatalysis. However, a major challenge lies in the difficulty of recovering the catalytic powders, raising concerns regarding secondary pollution of water. In this work, a novel hierarchical porous ferroelectric ceramic containing {110} surface-exposed BiNdTiO (BIT-Nd) nanosheet arrays is grown on a porous ceramic matrix for efficient and recyclable piezo-photocatalysis.

Biochar is a novel approach to remediating heavy metal-contaminated soil. Using various organic amendments like phyllosilicate-minerals (PSM), compost, biochar (BC) and sulfur-modified biochar (SMB), demonstrates superior adsorption capacity and stability compared to unmodified biochar (BC). The adsorption mechanisms of SMB are identified for its potential to increase soil-pH and reduce available cadmium (Cd).

This article reports on the long-term use, solid bismuth microelectrode arrays for the first time. The presented working microelectrode is characterized by particular advantages compared to bismuth film electrodes and solid single bismuth microelectrodes; these advantages include environmentally friendly properties and the amplification of recorded currents, which are subsequently more resistant to interference. The proposed solid bismuth microelectrode array was applied to develop an adsorptive stripping voltammetric procedure for Sunset Yellow determination.

This study highlights the challenges in using environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors in a variety of industries by examining the effects of avocado extract as a corrosion inhibitor on the corrosion behavior of carbon steel in salty formation water (SFW) generated from West Egyptian petroleum fields. A combination of weight loss and electrochemical experiments were used to examine the corrosion properties of carbon steel at different avocado extract concentrations (20-100 mg L). A number of methods, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX), and UV-Visible analyses were employed to identify the configuration and chemical components of corroded substrates.
