A novel effective cellulose-based adsorbent was prepared through two common reactions, which included the esterification of sugarcane bagasse cellulose with excess stearic acid and the reaction of grafting polyacrylamide brush by ultraviolet radiation initiation. The adsorbent can effectively adsorb Hg(II) ion from wastewater. The characterization of the adsorbents was conducted by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS) and infrared spectrometry (FTIR). Full kinetic and thermodynamic investigations as well as isotherm analysis were also undertaken. Due to the abundant amide groups, the cellulose-based adsorbents exhibit excellent adsorption performance for the removal of Hg(II) ion from aqueous solution with a maximum adsorption capacity of 178mg/g. Furthermore, the cellulose-based adsorbents can be easily separated from the aqueous solution after adsorption and regenerated using 0.2M HCl solution, which exhibits high adsorption capacity after six adsorption-desorption cycles. In view of the easily-operated cost-effective preparation technique, substantial adsorption efficiency and excellent adsorption recyclability, therefore, the eco-friendly cellulose-based adsorbents could be used for water purification effectively. More importantly, this work improves value of low-cost biomass resources.

The accurate and sensitive quantification of hydroxyl radical (·OH) and glucose is necessary for disease diagnosis and health guidance, but still challenging owing to the low concentration of ·OH and poor water solubility of fluorescent probes. In addition, fluorescent probes may cause secondary pollution to the environment. Here an organic cage was reported as a sensitive fluorescent probe for ·OH and glucose in aqueous solution without serious secondary pollution.

Although glycine is the simplest of the amino acids, its solution and solid-state properties are far from straightforward. The aqueous solubility of glycine plays an important role in various applications, including nutrition, food products, biodegradable plastics, and drug development. There is evidence that glycine in subsaturated pH 3-8 solutions forms a dimer, as suggested by several techniques.

In this research, the degradation of Congo red (CR) dye, as an organic pollutant in water, was investigated using microwave-induced reaction technology. This technology requires a microwave-absorbing catalyst and the 2D TiCT MXene was synthesized for that purpose. The synthesized catalyst was characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, BET, and XPS techniques.
