Mercury(II) ions are emerging as a result of more human activity, especially coal-fired power plants, industrial processes, waste incineration plants, and mining. The mercury found in different forms after spreading around diffuses the nature of other living things. Although the damage to health is not yet clear, it is obvious that it is the cause of many diseases. This work detects the problem of mercury(II) ions, one of the active pollutants in wastewater. For this purpose, it is possible to detect the smallest amount of mercury(II) ions by means of the mercury(II) ions suppressed quartz crystal microbalance nanosensor developed. Zinc(II) and cadmium(II) ions are chosen as competitor elements. Developed nanosensor technology is known as the ideal method in the laboratory environment to detect mercury(II) ions from wastewater because of its low cost and precise result orientation. The range of linearity and the limit of detection are measured as 0.25 × 10-50 × 10 m. The detection limit is found to be 0.21 × 10 m. The mercury(II) ions imprinted nanosensors prepared according to the obtained experimental findings show high selectivity and sensitivity to detect mercury(II) ions from wastewater.

The removal and detection of highly toxic mercury(II) ions (Hg) in water used daily is essential for human health and monitoring environmental pollution. Efficient porous organic polymers (POPs) can provide a strong adsorption capacity toward heavy metal ions, although the complex synthetic process and inconvenient phase separation steps limit their application. Hence, a combination of POPs and magnetic nanomaterials was proposed and a new magnetic porous organic polymer adsorbent was fabricated by a green and mild redox reaction in the aqueous phase with trithiocyanuric acid (TA) and its sodium salts acting as reductive monomers and iodine acting as an oxidant.

This study introduces a novel ion-imprinted polymer for the ultrasensitive detection of mercury(II) in water. The ion-imprinted polymer was synthesized via a simple bulk polymerization process using methacrylic acid as the functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linker, morpholine-4-carbodithioic acid phenyl ester as the chelating agent, and ammonium persulfate as the initiator. The electrochemical mercury(II) sensing capability of the ion-imprinted polymer was studied via the modification of a cost-effective carbon paste electrode.

Goal-oriented development of novel covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to construct a sensing platform for highly toxic mercury (II, Hg) is of tremendous significance. Recently, numerous COFs with sulfur-based ligands were developed for Hg monitoring; however, strong binding of Hg by sulfur makes their regeneration very tough. Herein, we designed and developed an amino-functionalized fluorescent COF (COF-NH) through facile postmodification for Hg detection in which the π-conjugation skeleton is the signal reader and the nitrogen-based side is the highly selective Hg receptor.
