A chitosan-based adsorbents (CS-Ninhydrin) was prepared by grafting ninhydrin for Pb(II) ions adsorption. SEM-EDS, XRD and FTIR analysis were used to characterize the synthesized CS-Ninhydrin. The static adsorption experiments showed that CS-Ninhydrin had a good removal rate for Pb(II) ions in a wide range of pH 3 to 7, quickly reached equilibrium (120 min) and had a higher adsorption capacity (196 mg/g). Pseudo second-order and Langmuir models showed that the adsorption process of Pb(II) by CS-Ninhydrin was a single-layer chemical adsorption. Temperature experiments showed that the reaction was a spontaneous exothermic process. In the wastewater experiment, CS-Ninhydrin showed an excellent selectivity to Pb(II) ions. The reusability of CS-Ninhydrin was perfect after five adsorption-desorption cycles. The main adsorption mechanism was the chelating and electrostatic action between N and O groups in CS-Ninhydrin and Pb(II) ions. Therefore, the new adsorbent CS-Ninhydrin was expected to promote the wide application of chitosan in Pb(II) adsorption.

Heavy metal ions are acknowledged to impact the environment and human health adversely. CNCs are effective materials for removing heavy metal ions in industrial applications and process innovations since they can be used in static and dynamic adsorption processes. Cost-effective, uncomplicated water treatment technologies must be developed using biodegradable polymers, namely, modified cellulose nanocrystals.

Sulfur nanoparticles (SNPs) and their composites are promising for heavy metal adsorption, yet current SNPs often lack surface S, leading to low affinity toward heavy metal and ease of aggregation. Here, we report a simple light-driven method for facile prepare SNPs with surfaces enriched with S and in-situ load them onto graphene oxide (GO) to fabricate GO-S composites. Under illumination, the O generated by photosensitizer phloxine B was able to oxidize S into elemental SNPs.

The rapid industrialization and human activities in catchments have posed notable global challenges in removing of heavy metal contaminants from wastewater. Here, Schiff-bases (SB) of cyanoguanidine (CG) and salicylaldehyde (SA) were covalently grafted on a magnetic nanocomposite of chitosan to form a hybrid magnetic nanostructure (FeO@CS-CGSB). The synthesized structure was characterized using various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis (BET).

Naturally widespread ferrihydrite is unstable and often coexists with complex ions, such as the heavy metal ion Pb(II). Ferrihydrite could fix Pb(II) by precipitation and hydroxyl adsorption, but release Pb(II) with mineral aging. Gallic acid plays an important role in influencing the geochemical behavior of ferrihydrite-Pb, and anoxia is one of the factors influencing the transformation of mineral.

Improving the adsorption capacity of materials for pollutants by means of modification is an important direction in the research of water treatment technology. To improve the applicability of sodium alginate composites in the field of adsorption, magnetic sodium alginate-based hydrogel microsphere adsorbent material FeO@SA/PEI-Fe (FSPF) was synthesized in a single step by using polyethyleneimine grafting modification of sodium alginate by sol-gel method. The material was used for the removal of direct blue GL (DB 200) and direct date red B (DR 13) from simulated wastewater, as well as Cu(II) and Pb(II) from simulated wastewater with heavy metal ions.
