NH2-Fe2O3 and NH2-Fe2O3/chitosan (NH2-Fe2O3/CS) with excellent physical properties and high adsorption capacities for several heavy metal ions were synthesized using a one-pot hydrothermal method. The materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Physicochemical properties were determined by the Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) and nitrogen adsorption analysis (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method). The results of the characterization studies show that the material is uniformly dispersed and has good crystallinity and well-defined porous particles. The material is mesoporous, and the particles have a specific surface area of 55.41–233.03 m2·g−1, a total pore volume of 0.24–0.54 cm3·g−1, and a diameter of 3.83–17.56 nm. Additional results demonstrate that NH2-Fe2O3 and NH2-Fe2O3/CS are effective adsorbents for the removal of heavy metal ions from solution. In a ternary system, the order of their selective adsorption was determined to be Pb(II) > Cu(II) > Cd(II), and the adsorption rate of Pb(II) was much higher than that of Cu(II) and Cd (II). The metal ion adsorption capacity of NH2-Fe2O3 and NH2-Fe2O3/CS makes them promising adsorbents for wastewater cleanup.

A polypyrrole/chitosan composite material was obtained by chemical polymerization. The adsorption performance of a hot-molded polypyrrole/chitosan composite electrode was tested by adsorption/desorption experiments. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy both showed the deposition of polypyrrole on the chitosan surface. The specific capacitance of the polypyrrole/chitosan composite was determined by cyclic voltammetry in 1.0 M KCl at 0.01 V/s as 102.96 F/g. The adsorption/desorption experiments indicated that the specific adsorption capacity of the composite for Cu2+ was 99.67 mg/g, while the removal performance for other metal ions, such as Ag+, Pb2+, and Cd2+, was good. The results of multicycle adsorption/desorption tests showed that the adsorption rate of the polypyrrole/chitosan composite electrode for Cu2+ was decreased from 56.4 to 51.4% over 10 cycles, demonstrating the stable metal-ion adsorption/desorption behavior of the composite electrode. The obtained performances show that the prepared polypyrrole/chitosan composite material is an ideal electrode material for the removal of heavy metal ions.

In this paper, the amine-functionalized magnetite hollow nanospheres (AMHNs), prepared through a facile one-pot synthesis, were used as heavy metal ion adsorbents, whose morphology and physicochemical features were exploring by transmission electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared analyses. Its adsorption performances for Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+ and Cd2+ were studied in detail. The adsorption increased with the increase of initial pH value of the solution and could be obviously affected by ionic strength. Also, the adsorption kinetics and isotherms were studied. The adsorption processes for Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+ and Cd2+ could all reach equilibrium in 60 min and be described well by the Langmuir thermodynamics model. The saturated adsorption capacities for Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+ and Cd2+ were 0.66, 0.47, 0.45, 0.38 and 0.26 mmol/g, respectively. In addition, the competitive adsorption showed the AMHNs had higher affinity to Pb2+ than to other heavy metal ions.

Superabsorbent polymers are lightly crosslinked, hydrophilic polymer network having many functional groups. The adsorption properties in heavy metal ion solutions using poly(acrylate-co-acrylamide)(PAAM) are investigated. It is found that PAAM has a high uptake to heavy metal ions, and that the adsorption of heavy metal ions is greatly influenced by pH and the initial solution concentrations. The biggest and the smallest amount of adsorption are Cu2+and Cr3+in CuCl2and CrCl3solution, respectively. It was feasible for selective adsorption of the metal ions in the solution onto PAAM hydrogel by controlling the pH values of the mixing solution for CuCl2, FeCl3, CrCl3.Langmiur equatiom can satisfactorily fit for the adsorption of Cu2+while not fit for that of Fe3+and Cr3+.

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 adsorption capacity of synthetic NaX zeolite for Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ in single and multi-component systems were investigated. The effects of electronegativity and hydration energy on the selective adsorption, as well as potential selective adsorption mechanism of the NaX zeolite for Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ were also discussed. The maximum adsorption capacity order of the heavy metals in the single system was Pb2+ > Cd2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+, and this could be related to their hydration energy and electronegativity. The values of the separation factors (α) and affinity constant (KEL) in different binary systems indicated that Pb2+ was preferentially adsorbed, and Zn2+ presented the lowest affinity for NaX zeolite. The selective adsorption capacities of the metals were in the order, Pb2+ > Cd2+ ≈ Cu2+ > Zn2+. The trend for the selective adsorption of NaX zeolite in ternary and quaternary systems was consistent with that in the binary systems. Pb2+ and Cu2+ reduced the stability of the Si-O-Al bonds and the double six-membered rings in the NaX framework, due to the high electronegativity of Pb2+ and Cu2+ than that of Al3+. The selective adsorption mechanism of NaX zeolite for the high electronegative metal ions could mainly result from the negatively charged O in the Si-O-Al structure of the NaX zeolite, hence heavy metal ions with high electronegativity display a strong affinity for the electron cloud of the oxygen atoms in the Si-O-Al. This study could evaluate the application and efficiency of zeolite in separating and recovering certain metal ions from industrial wastewater.
