Nanofibrous Membranes

Silk fibroin/cellulose acetate blend Nanofibrous membranes were prepared by electro- spinning and their performances were evaluated as a heavy metal ion adsorbent. The electrospun nanofibrous membranes were comprised of randomly oriented ultra-fine fibers of 100-600nm diameters. As a result of field emission electron microscope (FEEM), compared with pure nanofibrous membranes, the anti-felting shrinkage of SF/CA blend nanofibrous membranes with 20% CA content was markedly improved after treatment with 100% ethanol. Metal ion adsorption test was performed with Cu2+ as a model heavy metal ion in a stock solution. The pure SF nanofibrous membranes exhibited high metal ion capacities compared with that pure CA nanofibrous membrane. Especially, the SF/CA blend nanofibrous membranes had an exceptional performance for the adsorption of metal ions, and the maximum milligrams per gram of metal ions adsorbed reached 22.8mg/g for Cu2+. This indicated that SF and CA had synergetic effect.

Kenaf Bast

In this study lignocellulosic fibers, such as kenaf bast, kenaf core, sugar cane bagasse, cotton, coconut coir, and spruce, which are environment friendly natural materials, were tested for their ability to remove copper, nickel and zinc ions from aqueous solutions. The fibers were analyzed for Klason lignin content, water sorption capacity and dry volume. The fiber with the highest level of heavy metal removal in the separate and mixed solution was kenaf bast.. In the mixed solution kenaf bast, sugar cane bagasse and cotton removed more copper and nickel ion than in the separate solution, and the amounts of removed heavy metal ions were changed in some lignocellulosic fibers, compared to those of the separate solution. In the mixed solution heavy metal ions may compete with one another for sorption sites on the surface of lignocellusic fiber. In kenaf bast to remove heavy metal ions most, Klason lignin content was the second lowest, and water sorption and dry volume were the lowest in all tested lignocellulosic fibers. It showed that removal of heavy metal ions does not correlate with any chemical and physical factors, but may be affected by the cell wall structure of lignocellulosic fibers and how many free phenolic groups in lignin, which are considered as the heavy metal ion binding site, are exposed on the surface of fibers. Cotton, with about 1% Klason lignin, was very low in heavy metal ion removal, while all other fibers containing greater than about 10% lignin did remove heavy metal ions. It showed that even the lignin content of lignocellulosic fibers does not correlate with heavy metal ion removal but lignin does play a role in heavy metal ion removal.

Primary Focus

Heavy metal ions, including toxic concentrations of essential ions, negatively affect diverse metabolic and cellular processes. Heavy metal ions are known to enter cells in a non-selective manner; however, few studies have examined the regulation of heavy metal ion transport. Plant cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (CNGCs), a type of Ca2+-permeable-channel, have been suggested to be involved in the uptake of both essential and toxic cations. To determine the candidates responsible for heavy metal ion transport, a series of Arabidopsis CNGC mutants were examined for their response to Pb2+ and Cd2+ ions. The primary focus was on root growth and the analysis of the concentration of heavy metals in plants. Results, based on the analysis of primary root length, indicated that AtCNGC1, AtCNGC10, AtCNGC13 and AtCNGC19 play roles in Pb2+ toxicity, while AtCNGC11, AtCNGC13, AtCNGC16 and AtCNGC20 function in Cd2+ toxicity in Arabidopsis. Ion content analysis verified that the mutations of AtCNGC1 and AtCNGC13 resulted in reduced Pb2+ accumulation, while the mutations of AtCNGC11, AtCNGC15 and AtCNGC19 resulted in less Pb2+ and Cd2+ accumulation in plants. These findings provide functional evidence which support the roles of these AtCNGCs in the uptake and transport of Pb2+ or Cd2+ ion in plants.

Since heavy metal dirtiness, which we frequently encounter in environmental pollution causes harmful effects on the organism through biochemical enzyme reactions, in this study, the effects of mercury (Hg+2), copper (Cu+2), and zinc (Zn+2) heavy metal ions, which are common in environmental pollution, on PON (paraoxonase) enzyme activity in muscle tissue of bonito (Sarda sarda) were investigated. In the study, 25 bonito (S. sarda) fish muscle tissues freshly obtained from the Samsun region sea were used. The changes in PON enzyme activity were determined by adding different volumes of heavy metal solutions. PON enzyme activities of Hg+2 heavy metal ion used in different volumes were calculated as 30.9383 U/mLdak, 29.0598 U/mLdak, 26.3799 U/mLdak, 23.9443 U/mLdak, 20.6725 U/mLdak, PON enzyme activities of Cu+2 heavy metal ion used in different volumes were calculated as 19.7949 U/mLdak, 19.4807 U/mLdak 19.1864 U/mLdak, 19.1200 U/mLdak, 18.9037 U/mLdak and PON enzyme activities of Zn+2 heavy metal ion used in different volumes were calculated as 23.8305 U/mLdak, 23.0781 U/mLdak, 22.9073 U/mLdak, 22.4324 U/mLdak, 21.8159 U/mLdak. As a result of these obtained data, activity (%) values were calculated and activity (%) graphs were drawn. As a result of the study, it was determined that increasing concentrations of Cu+2 and Zn+2 heavy metal ions caused a decrease in PON enzyme activity, but there was no statistically significant difference between the different concentrations used. It was determined that increasing concentrations of Hg+2 heavy metal ion inhibited the PON enzyme activity, caused a statistically significant decrease between the activities depending on the different concentrations used (p < 0.05).

Metal Ion Removal

Scientists have been encouraged to find different methods for removing harmful heavy metal ions and dyes from bodies of water. The adsorption technique offers promising outcomes for heavy metal ion removal and is simple to run on a large scale, making it appropriate for practical applications. Many adsorbent hydrogels have been developed and reported, comprising N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA)-based hydrogels, which have attracted a lot of interest due to their reusability, simplicity of synthesis, and processing. DMAA hydrogels are also a suitable choice for self-healing materials and materials with good mechanical properties. This review work discusses the recent studies of DMAA-based hydrogels such as hydrogels for dye removal and the removal of hazardous heavy metal ions from water. Furthermore, there are also references about their conduct for self-healing materials and for enhancing mechanical properties.

Metal Ion Detection

Great efforts have been devoted to the invention of environmental sensors as the amount of water pollution has increased in recent decades. Chitosan, cellulose and nanocrystalline cellulose are examples of biopolymers that have been intensively studied due to their potential applications, particularly as sensors. Furthermore, the rapid use of conducting polymer materials as a sensing layer in environmental monitoring has also been developed. Thus, the incorporation of biopolymer and conducting polymer materials with various methods has shown promising potential with sensitively and selectively toward heavy metal ions. In this feature paper, selected recent and updated investigations are reviewed on biopolymer and conducting polymer-based materials in sensors aimed at the detection of heavy metal ions by optical methods. This review intends to provide sufficient evidence of the potential of polymer-based materials as sensing layers, and future outlooks are considered in developing surface plasmon resonance as an excellent and valid sensor for heavy metal ion detection.
