This paper describes a novel sorbent based on 4-(2-pyridylazo) resorcinol functionalised magnetic nanoparticles and its application for the extraction and pre-concentration of trace amounts of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions. The nanosorbent was characterised by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, thermal analysis, elemental analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The effects of various parameters such as pH, sorption time, sorbent dosage, elution time, volume and concentration of eluent were investigated. Following the sorption and elution of analytes, Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions were quantified by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The limits of detection were 0.07 and 0.7 μg l(-1) for Cu(II) and Pb(II), respectively. The relative standard deviations of the method were less than 7%. The sorption capacity of this new sorbent were 92 and 78 mg g(-1) for Cu(II) and Pb(II), respectively. Finally this nanosorbent was applied to the rapid extraction of trace quantities of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions in different real samples and satisfactory results were obtained.

Improving the adsorption capacity of materials for pollutants by means of modification is an important direction in the research of water treatment technology. To improve the applicability of sodium alginate composites in the field of adsorption, magnetic sodium alginate-based hydrogel microsphere adsorbent material FeO@SA/PEI-Fe (FSPF) was synthesized in a single step by using polyethyleneimine grafting modification of sodium alginate by sol-gel method. The material was used for the removal of direct blue GL (DB 200) and direct date red B (DR 13) from simulated wastewater, as well as Cu(II) and Pb(II) from simulated wastewater with heavy metal ions.

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.

Mercury-containing wastewater presents a significant environmental threat due to its high toxicity. Therefore, the urgent removal of mercury-laden wastewater is essential to protect ecosystems and public health. In this study, molybdenum disulfide (MoS) nanosheets modified with a silane coupling agent (designated as MS) were crosslinked with natural polymer chitosan (CS) rich in -NH and - OH groups to develop a highly efficient and environmentally friendly MoS-functionalized three-dimensional reticulated porous materials (denoted as MS/CTS) composite adsorbent.
