Combined batch sorption and in situ X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) provide direct assessment of the mechanisms for Pb(II) sorption at the soil-water interface under different pH conditions. The XAFS data indicated that the innersphere Pb sorption complex with ionic character (Pb4 (OH)4(4+)) dominated the Pb surface speciation, and the outer-sphere Pb sorption complex and the precipitation of calcium carbonate containing Pb(PbCaCO3) were also involved in the adsorption samples. Coordination number and radial distance of the first-shell Pb-O decreased from 0.172 7 to 0.166 6 nm and the percentage of inner-sphere complexes increased when the initial pH changed from 6.0 to 8.5, indicating that the mechanism of Pb(II) sorption by the soil was pH-dependent.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored how microplastic polyester fibers, specifically polyethylene terephthalate (PET), can absorb various metal ions found in sewage.
- The research found that PET fibers could effectively retain metal ions like lead, cadmium, and mercury, with lead showing the highest absorption capacity.
- The findings suggest that when these microplastics are present in sewage treatment, they can contribute to the transfer of hazardous metals into the environment, particularly when sewage sludge is used on agricultural land.

A novel class of hydrogels, rich in a variety of functional groups capable of interacting/complexing with metal ions was successfully synthesized. This was achieved by using acryloyl derivatives of natural α-amino acids, specifically ornithine and cystine. The δ-amino group of ornithine was modified with an acryloyl group to facilitate its attachment to the polymer chain.

Adsorption for uranium removal from aqueous systems has been extensively studied, due to its many advantages. However, the great costs and complexity of many sorbent preparation methods are still restricting the progress. Hence, this research aimed to introduce a novel, simple and green method for enhancing Amberlite IR-120 properties for U(VI) removal.

Rapid urbanization brought lots of serious environmental contamination, including the accumulation of heavy metals, acid rain, and the emission of tire wear particles (TWPs), with detrimental effects for terrestrial ecosystems. Nevertheless, how naturally aged TWPs affect the mobilization of heavy metals in soils under acid rain is still unclear. Here, we investigate the adsorption and transport mechanisms of Pb(II) co-existing with acid rainwater in soil-TWP mixtures via batch experiments, column experiments and modeling.

The efficient removal of lead ions at low concentrations is paramount in combating the significant threat posed by water pollution resulting from industrial activities and population growth. In this study, electrospun /PAN fibers were developed to efficiently remove lead(II) ions from water. The morphology, structure, and mechanical properties of the fibers were examined, highlighting that the augmentation of the surface area through the conversion of into the polymer fibers facilitates increased metal bonding sites during sorption.
