Ion-imprinting methodology was utilized in the fabrication of mercury ion-imprinted sorbent derived from modified chitosan derivatives. The Schiff base ligand was first derived from 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid and 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (HPB) and then incorporated with chitosan via amide bonds. The obtained modified chitosan polymeric ligand (PBCS) was combined with Hg(II) ions to produce the corresponding polymeric complex and the imprinting was then achieved upon the glutaraldehyde cross-linking and eliminating the incorporated Hg(II) ions to finally have the Hg(II) ion-imprinted sorbent material (Hg-PBCS). The materials have been investigated using various techniques such as NMR and FTIR and the obtained sorbent was examined to evaluate its selective affinity to capture the target Hg(II) ions. The developed Hg-PBCS sorbent exhibited a higher tendency toward the targeted Hg(II) ions compared to the control non-imprinted sorbent particle (NI-PBCS) with a maximum capacity of 315 mg/g. Also, the sorbent displayed relatively rapid adsorption kinetics that best correlated with the pseudo-second-order model.

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.

Mercury contamination of the environment is extremely hazardous to human health because of its significant toxicity, especially in water. Biomass-derived fluorophores such as carbon dots (CDs) have emerged as eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative sensors that provide comparable efficacy while mitigating the environmental and economic drawbacks of conventional methods. In this work, we report the fabrication of a selective fluorescence-enhancing sensor based on sulfur-doped carbon dots (SCDs) using waste bamboo-derived cellulose and sodium thiosulfate as the soft base dopant, which actively complexes with mercury ions for detection.

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.
