Simple and robust analytical procedures were developed for hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) and lead (Pb(II)) by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) using microsample injection system coupled with flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (MIS-FAAS). For the current study, ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC), carbon tetrachloride, and ethanol were used as chelating agent, extraction solvent, and disperser solvent, respectively. The effective variables of developed method have been optimized and studied in detail. The limit of detection of Cr(VI) and Pb(II) were 0.037 and 0.054 µg/L, respectively. The enrichment factors in both cases were 400 with 40 mL of initial volumes. The relative standard deviations (RSDs, n = 6) were <4%. The applicability and the accuracy of DLLME were estimated by the analysis of Cr(VI) and Pb(II) in industrial effluent wastewater by standard addition method (recoveries >96%). The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of Cr(VI) and Pb(II) at ultratrace levels in natural drinking water and industrial effluents wastewater of Denizli. Moreover, the proposed method was compared with the literature reported method.

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.

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 multifaceted experimental design, including factorial design, Face-centered composite design (FCCD), and mixture design, was implemented to explore competitive interaction and adsorption behavior of chromium [Cr(VI)], lead [Pb(II)], and cadmium [Cd(II)] by the immobilized extracellular polymer (EPS) based biosorbent of Pseudomonas aeruginosa OMCS-1, in single and ternary metal solution. The prepared biosorbent preferentially adsorbed Cr (47.6 mg/g), Pb (46.

The Schiff base chelating ligands; (E)-2-(3,3-dimethoxy-2-oxa-7,10-diaza-3-silaundec-10-en-11-yl)phenol (L1), (E)-N-(2-((pyridine-2ylmethylene)amino)ethyl)-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propan-1-amine (L2) and (E)-N-(2-((thiophen-2-ylmethylene)amino)ethyl)-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propan-1-amine (L3) were immobilized on FeO magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and utilized in the extraction of Cr(VI), Cd(II) and Pb(II) metal cations from aqueous solutions. The compounds synthesized, denoted as L1@ FeO, L2@FeO, and L3@FeO, were characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, TEM-SEM, VSM, and BET/BHJ techniques for analysis of functional groups, surface morphology, magnetic properties, and degree of porosity of the adsorbents, respectively. BET/BHJ technique confirmed the mesoporous nature of the compounds as their pore diameters ranged between 15 and 17 nm.
