A new zirconium-based adsorption material (UiO-66-AMP) was prepared by modifying UiO-66-NH with 5-adenosine to effectively remove Pb(II) and Cr(VI) from wastewater. The SEM, EDS, XRS and FT-IR characterization confirmed the successful synthesis of UiO-66-AMP. We conducted a sets of experiments to test the adsorption effectiveness of UiO-66-AMP for Pb(II) and Cr(VI). The maximum adsorption capacity of UiO-66-AMP for Cr(VI) (pH=2) and Pb(II) (pH=4) are 196.60 and 189.69 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption process conforms to the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models, which indicates that the adsorption is a single-layer chemical process. Gibbs free energy (∆G) indicates that the adsorption of Pb(II) is an exothermic reaction, while the adsorption of Cr(VI) is an endothermic reaction. At the same time, the adsorbent maintains excellent adsorption capacity at least after 4 cycles. The good adsorption performance of UiO-66-AMP towards the metal ions was attributed to the surface complexation and electrostatic interactions. Therefore, the new adsorbent has obvious application prospect to remove Pb(II) and Cr(VI) from wastewater.

Heavy metal and nitrogen contaminations are serious concerns in aquatic environments. Marichromatium gracile YL28, a marine purple sulfur bacterium, has shown great potential as a bioremediation agent for removing inorganic nitrogen from marine water. This study further investigated its ability to simultaneously absorb heavy metals, including Pb(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Cr(VI), and remove inorganic nitrogen.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored how microplastic polyester fibers, specifically polyethylene terephthalate (PET), can absorb various metal ions found in sewage.
- The research found that PET fibers could effectively retain metal ions like lead, cadmium, and mercury, with lead showing the highest absorption capacity.
- The findings suggest that when these microplastics are present in sewage treatment, they can contribute to the transfer of hazardous metals into the environment, particularly when sewage sludge is used on agricultural land.

A multifaceted experimental design, including factorial design, Face-centered composite design (FCCD), and mixture design, was implemented to explore competitive interaction and adsorption behavior of chromium [Cr(VI)], lead [Pb(II)], and cadmium [Cd(II)] by the immobilized extracellular polymer (EPS) based biosorbent of Pseudomonas aeruginosa OMCS-1, in single and ternary metal solution. The prepared biosorbent preferentially adsorbed Cr (47.6 mg/g), Pb (46.

The Schiff base chelating ligands; (E)-2-(3,3-dimethoxy-2-oxa-7,10-diaza-3-silaundec-10-en-11-yl)phenol (L1), (E)-N-(2-((pyridine-2ylmethylene)amino)ethyl)-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propan-1-amine (L2) and (E)-N-(2-((thiophen-2-ylmethylene)amino)ethyl)-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propan-1-amine (L3) were immobilized on FeO magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and utilized in the extraction of Cr(VI), Cd(II) and Pb(II) metal cations from aqueous solutions. The compounds synthesized, denoted as L1@ FeO, L2@FeO, and L3@FeO, were characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, TEM-SEM, VSM, and BET/BHJ techniques for analysis of functional groups, surface morphology, magnetic properties, and degree of porosity of the adsorbents, respectively. BET/BHJ technique confirmed the mesoporous nature of the compounds as their pore diameters ranged between 15 and 17 nm.

Microscale zero-valent iron (mZVI) is widely used for water pollutant control and environmental remediation, yet its reactivity is still constrained by the inert oxide shell. Herein, we demonstrate that mechanochemical thioglycolate (TG) modification can dramatically enhance heavy metal (Ni, Cr, Cd, Pb, Hg, and Sb) removal rates of mZVI by times of 16.7 to 88.
