This study demonstrates a successful processing and utilization of banana rachis cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) dispersed clay composite filter which is capable of adsorbing dye and heavy metal ions namely Pb(II) and Cr(III) from industrial wastewater. The composite of different compositions was prepared by dispersing the cellulose nanocrystals, obtained by acid hydrolysis of banana rachis fibres, within the tri-ethyl amine treated clay. The CNC and treated clay were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. Industrial wastewater containing a basic yellow2 dye and two heavy metal ions, Pb(II) and Cr(III), was passed through the prepared filters set in a column. The dye and metal ions adsorption capability of the filters were analyzed by determining the dye and metal ions concentration into the water before and after passing through the composite filter. The concentration of dye and metal ions in water was determined by a UV-visible spectrophotometer and an atomic absorption spectrophotometer, respectively. It was found that the dye adsorption capacity of the composite filters was about 50 mg per gram of composite as well as Pb(II) and Cr(III) ions adsorption capacities of the composite filters were ˃10.0 mg and ˃12.4 mg respectively per gram of the composite when CNC content in the composite was ˃30 wt.%. It was also found that the metal ions adsorption capability of the composite filter was improved with increasing CNC content in the composites.

The human metallothionein IIA (hMT-IIA) gene contains two enhancer elements whose activity is induced by heavy-metal ions such as Cd2+. To determine the nature of the relationship between the metal-responsive elements and the element(s) responsible for the basal activity of the enhancers, the basal-level enhancer element(s), the hMT-IIA enhancers were subjected to mutational analysis. We show that deletion of the metal-responsive elements had no effect on the basal activity of the enhancer but prevented further induction by Cd2+. On the other hand, replacement of the basal-level enhancer element with linker DNA led to inactivation of the enhancer both before and after treatment with Cd2+. Therefore, the metal-responsive elements seems to act as a positive modulator of enhancer function in the presence of heavy-metal ions. In addition to the two enhancers, the hMT-IIA promoter contained one other element, the GC box, required for its basal expression. Unlike deletion of the basal-level enhancer element, replacement of the GC box with linker DNA had no effect on the ability of the promoter to be induced by Cd2+.

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.

Abstract Abies bornmulleriana cone was used to investigate its biosorption efficiency and capacity of Pb2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, Co2+, and Ni2+ heavy metal ions in a quinary system. The mechanism of multi-metal removal was illustrated in terms of FTIR results. Electrophoretic mobilities of the biosorbents were determined to access the information about the competitive biosorption. BET surface area and pore volume of the biosorbents before and after the biosorption were defined to be (5.05 m2 g−1 and 0.0018 cm3 g−1) and (0.97 m2 g−1 and 0.00032 cm3 g−1), respectively. The average pore width of the biosorbent before and after the biosorption was calculated as 9.34 and 13.04 Å, respectively. The pseudo-first-order model and the pseudo-second-order model were applied to analyze the experimental data. Experimental data have been evaluated according to the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms. The maximum biosorption efficiency and capacity for Pb2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, Ni2+, and Co2+ ions were defined as (85.4, 56.4, 35.4, 21.7 and 18.9%) and (8.5, 5.6, 3.5, 2.2 and 1.9 mg g−1), respectively. The selectivity of heavy metal ions resulted in the magnitude order of Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Cd2+ > Ni2+ > Co2+.
