Article Abstract
The adsorption of Cr(VI) and As(III) by amino-functionalized SBA-15 (NH2-SBA-15) from single and binary systems were investigated in this work. The effects of pH and temperature on the adsorption of NH2-SBA-15 were studied. Adsorption kinetics, isotherm model, and thermodynamics were studied to analyze the experimental data. pH 2 was the optimum condition for the adsorption of Cr(VI) and pH 4 for As(III) adsorption. Increasing temperature had a positive effect on the removal of both Cr(VI) and As(III). The Freundlich isotherm model can depict the adsorption process best. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitted well with the kinetic data of Cr(VI) and As(III) in the single-component system. In the binary system, the adsorption of As(III) by NH2-SBA-15 was slightly enhanced with the presence of Cr(VI); however, As(III) had no obvious effect on the removal of Cr(VI). Regeneration experiments indicated that 0.1 mol/L NaHCO3 was an efficient desorbent for the recovery of Cr(VI) and As(III) from NH2-SBA-15; the desorption rates for Cr(VI) and As(III) were 91.6 and 33.59 %, respectively. After five recycling cycles, the removal rates were 88 and 7 % for Cr(VI) and As(III) adsorption by NH2-SBA-15, respectively.

Quorum sensing (QS) is recognized for enhancing bacterial resistance against heavy metals by regulating the production of extracellular substances that hinder metal penetration into the intracellular environment. However, it remains unclear whether QS contributes to resistance by regulating electron transfer, thereby transforming metals from more toxic to less toxic forms. This study investigated the regulatory mechanism of acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL)-mediated QS on electron transfer under As(III) and Cr(VI) stress.

In this work, bimetallic organic frameworks NH-MOFs(Fe, Ti) with different Fe/Ti molar ratios were prepared by a hydrothermal method for the synchronous redox transformation of Cr(VI) and As(III). These results showed that NH-MIL-125(Ti) was less effective in the photocatalytic removal of Cr(VI), whereas NH-MIL-88B(Fe) was less effective in the photocatalytic oxidative removal of As(III). Due to the introduction of Fe, the photocatalytic reduction removal of Cr(VI) (23.

Dust released from widely established plastic sports courts and synthetic turf poses potential environmental and health risks. Herein, we systematically investigate the metal(loid) characteristics, potential sources, and health risks of 162 dust samples from 17 campuses in Beijing, using complementary analytical techniques. Bulk analysis revealed higher levels of Zn, Pb, Cu, Sb, Cd, and Cr than background values, suggesting excessive anthropogenic contamination.

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.

ConspectusWater scarcity as a consequence of either environmental or economic actions is the most compelling global concern of the 21st century, as ∼2 billion people (26% of the total population) struggle to access safe drinking water and ∼3.6 billion (46% of the total population) lack access to clean water sanitation. In this context, groundwater pollution by toxic heavy metals and/or their oxo-pollutants, such as CrO, CrO, AsO, SeO, SeO, TcO, UO, etc.
