Mercury Adsorption by Ca-Based Shell-Type Polymers Synthesized by Self-Assembly Mineralization.
Polymers (Basel)

Adsorption is one of the most promising strategies for heavy metal removal. For Hg(II) removal, mineralized Ca-based shell-type self-assembly beads (MCABs) using alginate as organic polymer template were synthesized in this work. The adsorbent preparation consists of gelation of a Ca-based spherical polymer template (CAB) and rate-controlled self-assembly mineralization in bicarbonate solution with various concentrations.

Environmental problems persist due to mercury from artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) as well as ecological problems associated with the macrophyte Eichhornia crassipes Martius (EC). Environmental problems persist due to mercury contamination from artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) and ecological issues related to the macrophyte Eichhornia crassipes Martius (EC). A bioaccumulation study was conducted on mercury-laden wastewater (WWm) from ASGM using a pilot treatment plant, specifically a constructed wetland system (CW) with the macrophyte species EC.

Article Synopsis
- Terrestrial ecosystems can absorb atmospheric mercury (Hg), but wildfires can release it due to altered ecological stability.
- This study analyzed sediment samples after a prescribed fire, measuring Hg concentrations in different size fractions and finding increased Hg levels post-fire.
- Results showed that prescribed fires can lead to significant Hg mobilization, with the 0.5-2 mm sediment fraction contributing most, highlighting the need for caution when using such fires for wildfire prevention.
Regulation of straw-derived DOM and clay mineral complexation on mercury accumulation in vegetables.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how dissolved organic matter (DOM) from straw affects mercury (Hg) dynamics in soil and plants, particularly focusing on its impact on methylmercury (MeHg) accumulation.
- Results show that straw-derived DOM increases MeHg levels in soil and water spinach, but humified DOM can reduce these levels significantly.
- Additionally, interactions between humified DOM and clay minerals (like montmorillonite) play a crucial role in either promoting or inhibiting Hg methylation and accumulation in plants.

Humans are exposed to potentially toxic mercuric mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) by the ingestion of food, to the bactericidal vaccine additive thimerosal (THI), and/or to the antifungal compound phenylmercuric acetate (PMA) which is used in some lens cleaning ophthalmic fluids. While numerous HPLC methods have been developed to separate Hg and MeHg in environmental samples (e.g.
