Fulvic acid which could govern the environmental geochemistry behavior of heavy metals is considered as the eco-friendly substances for controlling heavy metal pollutants in environment. Knowledge on the individual fulvic acid ligand is crucial to characterize the effect of fulvic acid on the migration and toxicity of metal pollutants. Herein, fulvic acid substances were analyzed by fluorescence quenching associated with parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC). Three components were identified based on PARAFAC. Furthermore, two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS) associated with complexation model were used to elucidate the Cd(II)- and Cu(II)-binding characteristics of the individual fulvic acid ligand. The Cd(II)- and Cu(II)-binding capability and speed of different fulvic acid ligands were revealed and theoretical guidance and technical support were provided for the practical application. The Cd(II) contaminated soil could be amended with high fulvic acid ligands A1 and Y2 containing composting products and the Cu(II) contaminated soil could be amended with high fulvic acid ligands Y1, T1 and A1 containing composting products to control the pollution and improve the soil condition. Based on these excellent results, the different fulvic acid ligands-contaminants-binding properties was characterized for the theoretical supporting of environmental pollution control.

Arsenic (As) pollution in coastal wetlands has been receiving growing attention. However, the exact mechanism of As mobility driven by tidal action is still not completely understood. The results reveal that lower total As concentrations in solution were observed in the flood-ebb treatment (FE), with the highest concentration being 7.

High-sensitivity and repeatable detection of hydrophobic molecules through the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique is a tough challenge because of their weak adsorption and non-uniform distribution on SERS substrates. In this research, we present a simple self-assembly protocol for monolayer SERS mediated by 6-deoxy-6-thio-β-cyclodextrin (β-CD-SH). This protocol allows for the rapid assembly of a compact silver nanoparticle (Ag NP) monolayer at the oil/water interface within 40 s, while entrapping analyte molecules within hotspots.

The complex pollution and nutrient-poor characteristics of surface waters result in the limited ability of conventional reactors to remove pollutants. In this study, a novel modified ceramsite material, modified with trivalent iron (Fe(III)) and fulvic acid (FA) to form ceramsite@Fe(III)@FA (HC), was used for the first time as a biocarrier to immobilize strain Cupriavidus sp. W12, constructing a biofilter to enhance nitrate (NO-N) removal in micro-polluted water.
