Micro-nano composite material was prepared to adsorb Hg(II) ions via the co-precipitation method. Oyster shell (OS), FeO nanoparticles, and humic acid (HA) were used as the raw materials. The adhesion of nanoparticles to OS displayed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the appearance of the (311) plane of standard FeO derived from X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the transformation of pore sizes to 50 nm and 20 μm by mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) jointly revealed the successful grafting of HA-functionalized FeO onto the oyster shell surface. The vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) results showed superparamagnetic properties of the novel adsorbent. The adsorption mechanism was investigated based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques, which showed the process of physicochemical adsorption while mercury was adsorbed as Hg(II). The effects of pH (3-7), initial solution concentration (2.5-30 mg·L), and contact time (0-5 h) on the adsorption of Hg(II) ions were studied in detail. The experimental data were well fitted to the Langmuir isotherm equation (R = 0.991) and were shown to follow a pseudo-second-order reaction model (R = 0.998). The maximum adsorption capacity of Hg(II) was shown to be 141.57 mg·g. In addition, this new adsorbent exhibited excellent selectivity.

The effect of Bi-to-metal ion concentration ratio ( / ratio) on key evaluation indicators, including sensitivity, precision, and cathodic potential range, has been investigated for the determination of Cd and Pb at prepared bismuth film electrodes. Unlike the usual recommendation of at least a 10-fold excess of Hg(ii) for anodic stripping experiments at prepared mercury film electrodes, it is found that the / ratios in the 1-10 range are sufficient to obtain a high determination sensitivity, but that the signal decreases significantly when the ratio exceeds 40. Further analysis shows that the precision of the analytical results is good when the / ratio is in the range of 5-10.

Developing advanced adsorbents for selectively deducing mercury (Hg) in water to one billionth level is of great significance for public health and ecological security, but achieving the balance among efficiency, cost and environmental friendliness of adsorbents still faces enormous challenges. Herein, we present a high thiol content non-conjugated nano polymer network (PVB-SH) through simple microemulsion polymerization for efficient Hg ion (Hg(II)) removal. The PVB-SH is prepared by conventional commercial reagents and does not consume toxic organic solutions.

This work describes the successful design and synthesis of a new fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based sensor, denoted as RD1. This sensor incorporates a robust dual-fluorophore design, which combines a rhodamine and a dansyl derivative, functionalized with a thiosemicarbazide group that acts as Hg(II) specific recognition site. A synthetic pathway was developed that allowed the efficient synthesis of RD1 with a remarkable overall yield of 44% over four steps, through microwave-assisted protocols.

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.

Background: Heavy metal pollution is a global environmental problem. Self-reduction strategy has garnered attention in adsorption and electrochemical detection of heavy metal ions due to their operational simplicity and elimination of the need for external electrodeposition steps. Therefore, it is crucial to integrate self-reduction-based adsorption with electrochemical detection.
