The capacities of the p-t-butylcalix[8]arene (abbreviated as H8L) host to extract toxic divalent heavy metal ions and silver from aqueous solution phases containing ammonia or ethylene diamine to an organic phase (nitrobenzene, dichloromethane, or chloroform) were carried out. When the metal ions were extracted from an aqueous ammonia solution, the metal ion selectivity for extraction was found to decrease in the order Cd2+> Ni2+> Cu2+> Ag+> Co2+> Zn2+. When the aqueous phase contained ethylene diamine, excellent extraction efficiencies of 97% and 90% were observed for the heavy metal ions Cu2+ and Cd2+, respectively. Under the same conditions the extraction of octahedral type metal ions, namely, Co2+ and Ni2+, was suppressed. The extraction of transition metal cations by H8L in ammonia and/or amine was found to be pH dependent. Detailed analysis of extraction behavior was investigated by slope analysis, the continuous variation method, and by loading tests.

A novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based probe to capture heavy metal ion (Zn2+) by bovine serum albumin (BSA) using Si-nanowire (SiNW) arrays with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was developed. A layer with AgNPs was deposited on the SiNW surface by RF magnetron sputtering for enhancement of SERS signals. Using a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), the observation reveals that the AgNP layer with depths of 30–75 nm was successfully deposited on SiNW arrays. The Ag peaks in EDS and XRD spectra of SiNW arrays confirmed the presence of Ag particles on SiNW arrays. The WCA observations showed a high affinity of the Ag–SiNW arrays immobilized with BSA (water contact angle (WCA) = 87.1°) and ZnSO4 (WCA = 8.8°). The results of FTIR analysis illustrate that the conjugate bonds exist between zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) and –OH groups/–NH groups of BSA. The resulting SiNWs/Ag NPs composite interfaces showed large Raman scattering enhancement for the capture of heavy metal ions by BSA with a detection of 0.1 μM. BSA and ZnSO4 conjugations, illustrating specific SERS spectra with high sensitivity, which suggests great promise in developing label-free biosensors.

The capacity of synthesized zeolites from Brazilian coal ash for the removal of metal ions from aqueous solutions has been investigated. Equilibrium data obtained have been found to fit both the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The zeolitic material prepared with coal ash from baghouse filter showed the highest removal efficiencies. The metal ion selectivity of this product was determined as: Pb2+ > Cd2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Ni2+. The maximum cation exchange capacities were between 32.9 and 246.9 mg g-1. Tests showed that the zeolitic material was suitable for removal of zinc from electroplating effluent.

Abstract Heavy metal ion pollutions are of serious threat for our human health, and advanced technologies on removal of heavy metal ions in water or soil are in the focus of intensive research worldwide. Nanocellulose based adsorbents are emerging as an environmentally friendly appealing materials platform for heavy metal ions removal as nanocellulose has higher specific surface area, excellent mechanical properties and good biocompatibility. In this review, we briefly compare the differences of three kinds of nanocellulose and their preparation method. Then we cover the most recent work on nanocellulose based adsorbents for heavy metal ions removal, and present an in-depth discussion of the modification technologies for nanocellulose in assembling high performance heavy ions adsorbent process. By introducing functional groups, such as amino, carboxyl, phenolic hydroxyl, and thiol, the nanocellulose based adsorbents not only remove single heavy metal ions through ion exchange, chelation/complexation/coordination, electrostatic attraction, hydrophobic actions, binding affinity and redox reactions, but also can selectively adsorb multiple heavy ions in water. Finally, some challenges of nanocellulose based adsorbents for heavy metal ions are also prospected. We anticipate that the review supplies some guides for nanocellulose based adsorbents applied in heavy metal ions removal field.

: A variety of processes were reported for efficient removing of heavy metal from wastewater, including but not limited to ion exchange, reverse osmosis, membrane filtration, flotation, coagulation, chemical precipitation, solvent extraction, electrochemical treatments, evaporation, oxidation, adsorption, and biosorption. Among the aforementioned techniques, adsorption/ion exchange has been known as a most important method for removing heavy metal ions and organic pollutants due to great removal performance, simple and easy process, cost-effectiveness and the considerable choice of adsorbent materials. : Nanotechnology and its applications have been developed in most branches of science and technology. Extensive studies have been conducted to remove heavy metal ions from wastewater by preparation and applications of various nanomaterials. Nanomaterials offer advantages in comparison to other materials including an extremely high specific surface area, low-temperature modification, short intraparticle diffusion distance, numerous associated sorption sites, tunable surface chemistry, and pore size. In order to evaluate an adsorbent, two key parameters are: the adsorption capacity and the desorption property. The adsorption parameters including the absorbent loading, pH and temperature, concentration of heavy metal ion, ionic strength, and competition among metal ions are often studied and optimized. : Several reviews have been published on the application of Graphene (G), Graphene Oxide (GO) in water treatment. In this minireview, we attempted to summarize the recent research advances in water treatment and remediation process by graphene-based materials and provide intensive knowledge of the removal of pollutants in batch and flow systems. Finally, future applicability perspectives are offered to encourage more interesting developments in this promising field. This minireview does not include patent literature.

Pyridine-based gelators 1–4 of triazole-amide isosteric relationship have been considered in metal ion sensing, heavy metal and picric acid adsorption from water. The change from triazole to isosteric amide has marked effect on gelling properties of the gelators.
