In order to explore new ways to detect and remove heavy metal ions from industrial wastewater, the first-principles method based on density functional theory has been used to investigate the performance of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in adsorbing divalent heavy metal ions which include Zn[Formula: see text], Cu[Formula: see text], Pb[Formula: see text] and Sn[Formula: see text]. Results show that the adsorption of Zn[Formula: see text] on CNTs is weak and only physical adsorption forms between them. However, for Cu[Formula: see text], Pb[Formula: see text] and Sn[Formula: see text], the final adsorption distance with CNTs is greatly decreased, and the adsorption energy and charge transfer amount with CNTs are significantly increased. In addition, the charge density of Cu[Formula: see text], Pb[Formula: see text] and Sn[Formula: see text] overlaps effectively with that of CNTs. These indicate the formation of strong chemisorption between these ions and CNTs. Therefore, CNTs could be used as a sensing material to detect and remove Cu[Formula: see text], Pb[Formula: see text] and Sn[Formula: see text] from wastewater. The research provides theoretical guidance for the application of CNTs in heavy metal ions treatment.

The density functional theory has been used to study the adsorption performance of polluting Cu[Formula: see text] and Zn[Formula: see text] ions on defective graphene. Compared to intrinsic graphene, the adsorption distance between defective graphene and Cu[Formula: see text]/Zn[Formula: see text] decreases greatly, and the adsorption energy and charge transfer amount increases significantly. The calculation of charge density demonstrates that clear hybridization happens between defective graphene and Cu[Formula: see text]/Zn[Formula: see text] ions, suggesting the formation of chemical adsorption. The frontier orbit analysis shows that defective graphene has greater electrical sensitivity after adsorbing Cu[Formula: see text]/Zn[Formula: see text] ions. Therefore, defective graphene could be a potential material for the treatment of contaminating heavy metal ions.

The sorption characteristics of aluminosilicate microspheres of fly ash from thermal power plants with respect to heavy metal ions were studied with a view to their subsequent use for integrated treatment of household and industrial wastewater. The mechanism and kinetics of the sorption of total iron ions from aqueous solutions are studied, quantitative characteristics of the sorption capacity and adsorption equilibrium constants are obtained. It has been established that aluminosilicate microspheres of fly ash possess sorption properties with respect to common iron ions. The sorption isotherm of iron ions from water by the material under study is characteristic of microporous sorbents. The quantitative characteristics of the sorption process allow us to conclude about the possibility of using aluminosilicate fly ash microspheres without any additional treatment for the purification of waste water from heavy metal ions.
