In this study, Amberlite CG-120 adsorbent was used for the separation/preconcentration of Ni(II) ions in commercial drinking, spring and lake water samples before detection by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Various optimization parameters for Ni(II) determination, such as pH, eluent type and concentration, sample and eluent flow rates, amount of adsorbent, were investigated to obtain better sensitivity, accuracy, precision and quantitative recovery. Furthermore, the interference effects of some ions on the recovery efficiency of Ni(II) were also investigated. The optimum experimental parameters were obtained in the case of pH 1; 5 mL of 4 mol L HCl for eluent and 0.3 g for the adsorbent amount. The limit of detection was found to be 0.58 μg L and linearity ranged from 5 to 50 μg L. The accuracy of the method was tested by the certified reference material of TMDA-70.2 Ontario Lake Water at a 95% confidence level.

The fate of the pollutants in aquatic environment is closely related to colloids, and the carrier effect of colloids on pollutants not only affects their bioaccumulation, but may also affect their toxicity. In this study, the effects of natural colloid with different components on the biological toxicity of benzophenone-3 (BP3) to zebrafish larvae (Diano rerio) were studied. BP3 caused oxidative stress damage, thyroid system disorders and neurotoxicity in zebrafish larvae.

Cyanobacterial blooms represent a significant environmental issue posing widespread threats to global aquatic ecological health. Climate and nutrient enrichment were the most studied factors modulating cyanobacterial blooms in eutrophic lakes. However, in many floodplain lakes, the importance of hydrological variation in driving and predicting cyanobacterial blooms is often overlooked and largely underestimated, which has hampered the effectiveness of lake management.

Longjing tea is well-known for its exceptional umami/mellow flavor, but the complexity of interactions among chemical compositions has impeded in-depth understanding. This study comprehensively compared the taste contributors in 'Longjing 43' (LJ43) and 'Qunti' (QT). Peptidomics revealed 865 identified water-soluble peptides in QT, and 497 in LJ43, with 44 umami peptides predicted.

The clogging of sieving pores due to the complex sewage system of mixed molecules and nanoparticles of different scales is a difficulty in the membrane-based separation process. When the holes are reduced to the point where they can repel small molecules in the contaminants, large-molecule contaminants can adsorb to the holes and decrease the permeability. A similar question remains in new promising graphene oxide (GO) membranes.
