This study reports the ability of magnetic alginate activated carbon (MAAC) beads to remove Cd(II), Hg(II), and Ni(II) from water in a mono-metal and ternary system. The adsorption capacity of the MAAC beads was highest in the mono-metal system. The removal efficiency of such metal ions falls in the range of 20–80% and it followed the order Cd(II) > Ni(II) > Hg(II). The model that best fitted in the ternary system was the Freundlich isotherm, while in the mono-system it was the Langmuir isotherm. The maximum Cd(II), Hg(II), and Ni(II) adsorption capacities calculated from the Freundlich isotherm in the mono-metal system were 7.09, 5.08, and 4.82 (mg/g) (mg/L)1/n, respectively. Lower adsorption capacity was observed in the ternary system due to the competition of metal ions for available adsorption sites. Desorption and reusability experiments demonstrated the MAAC beads could be used for at least five consecutive adsorption/desorption cycles. These findings suggest the practical use of the MAAC beads as efficient adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater.

Currently, the preparation of outstanding adsorbents has attracted public concern in environmentally friendly and sustainable pollutant redress. Herein, we report a directional freeze-drying method to prepare a strong and reusable adsorbent by introducing metal-organic framework which modified by ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (named UiO-66-EDTA) into cellulose nanofiber (CNF) aerogel. Compared to traditional aerogels, the fabricated adsorbent showed a good flexibility and reusability by forming a homogeneous three-dimensional structure. By controlling the concentration of a crosslinkable carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solution, we produced aerogels with different pore structures and fibrillar, columnar, and lamellar morphologies. The obtained UiO-66-EDTA/CNF/CMC aerogel (U-EDTACCA) showed an excellent adsorption performance for a total of nine types of heavy metal ions, as the removal efficiency could reach 91%. Moreover, the aerogels could retain 88% of their original shape after five cycles. The aerogel may be an appropriate material for the adsorption of heavy metal ions.

We describe a simple strategy towards a DOPA-based PVA hydrogel with pH-dependent and rapid self-healing properties in the absence of metal ions. The hydrogel could self-heal in 270 s which was much quicker than that prepared in the presence of Fe3+.
