A magnetic adsorbent (called magsorbent) was developed by encapsulation of magnetic functionalized nanoparticles in calcium-alginate beads. The adsorption of Pb(II) ions by these magnetic beads was studied and the effect of different parameters, such as initial concentration, contact time and solution pH value on the adsorption of Pb(II) ions was investigated. Our magsorbent was found to be efficient to adsorb Pb(II) ions and maximal adsorption capacity occurred at pH 2.3-6. The classical Langmuir model used to fit the experimental adsorption data showed a maximum sorption capacity close to 100 mg g(-1). The experimental kinetic data were well correlated with a pseudo second-order model, 50% of the Pb(II) ions were removed within 20 min and the equilibrium was attained around 100 min. Moreover our magsorbent was easily collected from aqueous media by using an external magnetic field. These results permitted to conclude that magnetic alginate beads could be efficiently used to remove heavy metals in a water treatment process.

This study presents the synthesis of a green polymer-based nanocomposite by incorporating green CuO nanoparticles into polyaniline (PANI) for the adsorption of Pb (II) ions from contaminated water. The nanocomposite was extensively characterized using FTIR, XRD, BET, SEM-EDX, XPS, and Raman spectroscopy, both before and after Pb(II) adsorption. Optimization studies were performed to assess the effects of key parameters, including pH, adsorbent dosage, and initial ion concentration on the adsorption process.

Heavy metal and nitrogen contaminations are serious concerns in aquatic environments. Marichromatium gracile YL28, a marine purple sulfur bacterium, has shown great potential as a bioremediation agent for removing inorganic nitrogen from marine water. This study further investigated its ability to simultaneously absorb heavy metals, including Pb(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Cr(VI), and remove inorganic nitrogen.

Fast-paced global industrialization due to population growth poses negative water implications, such as pollution by heavy metals. Phytoremediation is deemed as an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative which utilizes different types of hyperaccumulator plants known as macrophytes for the removal of heavy metal pollutants from contaminated water. In this study, the removal of Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), and Cd(II) heavy metal ions contaminated water was studied by using an aquatic plant, Persicaria amphibia (L.

Biochars prepared at 300-700 °C were functionalized with amidoxime groups to evaluate their selective adsorptive removal capabilities towards Cu(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II). The results show that the amidoxime modification significantly enhanced the the Cu(II) adsorption capacity of the biochar prepared at 300 °C (AOBC300) by 1.6 times, reaching 0.
