We report the development of a novel graft copolymer, diethylamino ethyl methacrylate grafted xanthan gum (mwXG-g-DEAEMA), by microwave heating. The synthesized graft copolymer was used for potential application of Cr(VI) adsorption. The structure, thermal stability and morphologies of XG and mwXG-g-DEAEMA were characterized to verify the adsorbent formed under optimized reaction conditions. FTIR, XRD, TGA and SEM techniques were used for characterization of XG and mwXG-g-DEAEMA. Furthermore, H NMR spectroscopic analyses predict the probable structure of copolymer. Based on the NMR data, a plausible mechanism for copolymer formation has been proposed. The effects of adsorbent loading, pH, contact time and equilibrium concentration of the Cr(VI) adsorption were investigated batch wise. The Cr(VI) adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order rate model and equilibrium data were best described by Freundlich isotherm model. This work will encourage researchers to focus on this facile green technique for the synthesis of adsorbent with enhanced adsorption capacity.

Environmental concerns are driving the development of eco-friendly and effective methods for contaminant monitoring and remediation. In this study, a lanthanide porphyrin-based MOF with dual fluorescence sensing and photocatalytic properties was synthesized and applied for the detection and combined removal of Cr(VI) and ciprofloxacin (CIP). Using different excitation wavelengths, the material exhibited selective detection of Cr(VI) via fluorescence quenching and CIP through fluorescence enhancement.

A novel adsorbent ZnAl-LDHs/SiO (ZA/SiO) was prepared by blending urea mixture of ZnSO and Al(SO) while using SiO as a support form. The adsorption properties of ZA/SiO for the removal of toxic metal ions (Cu(II) and Cr(VI)) from water were evaluated. By batch experiment method to investigate the ZA/SiO adsorption of Cu(II) and Cr(VI) solution treatment effect.

The migration and immobilization of heavy metals in soil and groundwater pose significant environmental challenges, particularly in the context of Cr(VI), a highly toxic and mobile contaminant. Self-hardening slurry materials, commonly used for trench cutoff walls, have gained great attention due to their potential for pollutant containment. However, the relationship between their adsorption properties and pollutant diffusion behaviors remains poorly understood.

The extremely hazardous nature of Cr(VI) necessitates its sequestration in a sustainable and effective manner. Cellulose-derived materials, known for their eco-friendly properties, are widely employed in environmental remediation. To improve its adsorption capabilities for heavy metals, cellulose is often derivatized with moieties like amine, thiol, carboxylic acid, etc.
