Trace amount of Cr(VI) in water still threatens human health and ecology. Several reported amine-based adsorbents can remove trace Cr(VI) in acidic solutions of pH 2–5, but perform badly at neutral and alkaline conditions, which is insufficient for treating natural waters. Also, the chemical eluate leads to secondary pollution. Here, the amine-rich thermo-responsive poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (pDMAEMA) was selected based on its high pK a value and introduced into MOFs to produce pDMAEMA-DUT-5 for effective removal of trace Cr(VI) from natural waters. The composite with a polymer loading of 23.4 wt% achieved the highest adsorption capacity of 182.2 mg g −1 under an optimized condition, that is, at pH 3 and 25 °C. Besides, this material effectively reduced trace Cr(VI) content in natural waters from 100 to 1 μg L −1 by one filtration in a column. Its high selectivity was verified and further confirmed by the strong adsorption energy of Cr(VI) and −N(CH 3 ) 2 . Furthermore, the composite could be fully regenerated in 45 °C water within 10 min, concentrating Cr(VI) for 270 folds in one adsorption–desorption cycle and maintaining over 99 % performance after five cycles. It demonstrated excellent removal efficiency, high selectivity, and thermal regeneration stability. This work presents a simple strategy to design highly selective and reusable ion adsorbents for effective and sustainable removal or recovery of toxic and precious ions, while its thermal regeneration function largely simplifies further treatments.

Acetylacetone (AcAc) has proven to be a potent photo-activator in the degradation of color compounds. The effects of AcAc on the photochemical conversion of five colorless pharmaceuticals were for the first time investigated in both pure and natural waters with the UV/H 2 O 2 process as a reference. In most cases, AcAc played a similar role to H 2 O 2 . For example, AcAc accelerated the photodecomposition of carbamazepine, oxytetracycline , and tetracycline in pure water. Meanwhile, the toxicity of tetracyclines and carbamazepine were reduced to a similar extent to that in the UV/H 2 O 2 process. However, AcAc worked in a way different from that of H 2 O 2 . Based on the degradation kinetics, solvent kinetic isotope effect , and the inhibiting effect of O 2 , the underlying mechanisms for the degradation of pharmaceuticals in the UV/AcAc process were believed mainly to be direct energy transfer from excited AcAc to pharmaceuticals rather than reactive oxygen species-mediated reactions. In natural waters, dissolved organic matter (DOM) played a crucial role in the photoconversion of pharmaceuticals. The role of H 2 O 2 became negligible due to the scavenging effects of DOM and inorganic ions. Interestingly, in natural waters, AcAc first accelerated the photodecomposition of pharmaceuticals and then led to a dramatic reduction with the depletion of dissolved oxygen. Considering the natural occurrence of diketones, the results here point out a possible pathway in the fate and transport of pharmaceuticals in aquatic ecosystems .

MIL-100(Fe) was modified by amino groups (MIL - 100(Fe) - NH 2 ) to enhance the removal of antimonate (Sb(V)) with low concentration (50−200 μg/L) from natural water through batch adsorption experiments. With the initial Sb(V) concentration up to 200 μg/L, the residual Sb(V) concentration after treated by MIL - 100(Fe) - NH 2 was only 3.52 ± 0.131 μg/L, lower than the drinking water standards (5 μg/L) in China, while that was much higher (94.2 ± 3.52 μg/L) after pristine MIL-100(Fe) treatment. Based on results of XPS analysis, and adsorption kinetics and isotherms, we concluded that Sb(V) substituted the terminal −OH groups of MIL-100(Fe) to form inner-sphere complexes by coordination reactions with Fe nodes and be adsorbed by hydrogen bonding as well. The grafted amino groups (−NH 2 ) adsorbed Sb(V) by hydrogen bonding and facilitated the coordination reactions between Sb(V) and Fe nodes. The higher K L value (0.0116 ± 0.00,118 L/μg) obtained by fitting with the Langmuir isotherm model, while that of unmodified MIL-100(Fe) was 4.74 × 10 −4 ± 5.85 × 10 −5 L/μg, also confirmed that the −NH 2 groups greatly enhanced the affinity between MIL-100(Fe) and Sb(V). Furthermore, MIL - 100(Fe) - NH 2 still worked nicely in a wide pH range (2 − 12), with varied ionic strength (0.05 µmol/ L −1.5 mol/L), coexisting ions (CO 3 2− , NO 3 − , SO 4 2− , Cl − , H 2 PO 4 − ), and even in the real water bodies. Additionally, MIL - 100(Fe) - NH 2 exhibited good reusability and low Fe leaching (99.92 μg/L). We hope MIL - 100(Fe) - NH 2 become a candidate for effective removal of Sb(V), even other heavy metals from natural waterbodies.

A simple, rapid and sensitive sensing platform for the detection of As(III) has been fabricated in neutral media based on the mercaptoethylamine modified Au electrode. A wide detection range of 0.2–300 μg L −1 and a low detection limit of 0.02 μg L −1 were obtained with a preconcentration time of 100 s under optimal conditions. Compared with previous studies, this work shows obvious advantages that it not only suppresses the Cu(II) interference, but also can detect the As(III) in natural water samples at the original pH avoiding high concentration acidic media. Moreover, the practical application of the proposed method was verified in the lake water sample determination.

The existence of inorganic elements in natural water is heterogeneous due to the suspended micro colloidal and nanoparticles. In this work, the signals of Fe, Cu, Cd, Pb content in natural water samples collected from a city lake were examined using the single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) under the time resolved detection mode. Total numbers, data distributions and central values of the detected signals were obtained based on statistical analysis using the Excel and the Origin software. Both fractionation filtration (0.22, 0.45 and 3.0 µm membranes) and centrifugation (2000, 4000, 6000 and 8000 rpm rotating speed) have a significant effect on the detection of metals coexisted in the natural colloidal particles (NCPs) in water. Notable number of single-particle signals still presents in the lake water samples even after the pretreatment of 0.22 µm filtration or 8000 rpm centrifugation, which reveals the ubiquitous existence of micro aggregates or colloids in natural water. Sampling with online dilution is proved to be a direct, simple and effective method for the implementation of time resolved analysis of metallic micro NCPs in lake water by ICP-MS, especially for elements with high dissolved concentration. The results enhance the knowledge of how-to evaluation of the quantity and chemical stability of metal-containing aggregates, colloids and nanoparticles that may exist in natural water.

Natural hydraulic lime (NHL) containing both hydraulic and air-hardening contents is of an ideal alternative binder for mortars used in interior decoration, cultural relics repair and historic buildings maintenance. In this study, early hydration and hardening properties of NHL2 with nano-SiO 2 (NS) were researched. Hydration exothermic rate firstly decreased within 5 h of hydration and then increased after 5 h of hydration with the increase of NS, which could be attributed to the C 2 S hydration and the additional pozzolanic reaction between Ca(OH) 2 and NS. It is noted that the initial hydration of C 2 S would be restrained by the increase content of NS in NHL2 due to the delayed exothermic peak occurring time within 5 h of hydration. A decreased porosity of hardened NHL pastes with the increase of NS at each curing age were observed, which might be also caused by the pozzolanic reaction between Ca(OH) 2 and NS. Meanwhile, an increased capacity for the pores about 50 nm and decreased capacity for the pores about 1 μm with the increase of NS were also observed. In addition, mechanical level of NHL could be improved from NHL2 to NHL3.5 when more than 2% NS were added.

In this work, ethylenediamine modified poly(glycidyl methacrylate-ethylene dimethacrylate)(poly(GMA-EDMA-NH 2 )) was prepared for highly selective extraction of Se(VI) with high adsorption capacity of 0.825 mg m −1 (530 µm i.d.). Based on it, a novel method of polymer monolithic capillary microextraction (CME) on-line coupling with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was developed for the determination of inorganic selenium species (Se(IV)/Se(VI)) in natural waters. Under the optimized conditions, the analytical performance of the proposed on-line CME-ICP-MS method was evaluated for Se(VI). The limit of detection for Se(VI) was 14.2 ng L −1 , and the enrichment factor was 50-fold with the sample throughput of 5 h −1 . For Se(IV), the concentration was obtained by subtracting Se(VI) from the total Se(VI) obtained by the proposed method after oxidation of Se(IV) to Se(VI). The accuracy of the method was validated by the analysis of a Certified Reference Materials of GBW(E)080395. The proposed method was applied for the analysis of inorganic selenium species in natural waters with good recoveries. The developed method of monolithic CME-ICP-MS is sensitive, simple and rapid for the analysis of inorganic selenium species in natural waters.

The bismuth in natural water samples and drugs was successfully determined by liquid cathode glow discharge (LCGD) with formic acid as a matrix modifier. It was found that adding formic acid (3%, V/V ) could enhance the emission intensity of Bi over 23-fold. The possible signal enhancement mechanism was discussed. The Cu 2+ , Cl − , Br − and I − ions seriously interfered with the analysis of bismuth, and the interferences from Cl – , Br – and I – ions were effectively eliminated with the addition of formic acid. After adding 3% formic acid, the sensitivity of Bi was improved above 51-fold, limit of detection (LOD) was arrived at 0.092 mg L −1 which enhanced by 9.0-fold, and the energy consumption was as low as 40 W. The relative standard deviation (RSD, n = 11) of 2 mg L −1 Bi was reduced from 7.2% without formic acid to 1.8% with adding formic acid. The measured results of Bi in natural water samples by the proposed method were in agreement well with the spiked values, and the satisfactory recoveries between 106% and 113% were obtained. There was no significant different of Bi in drug samples by the proposed method with the verified values obtained by ICP-AES at the 95% confidence level. All results suggested that determination of Bi by LCGD with formic acid possesses merits of low LOD and power consumption, high sensitivity and stability, and good precision and accuracy.

Organophosphate triesters (OPEs) have caused great concern as a class of emerging environmental contaminants due to their widespread use and their toxicity to organisms. However, the phototransformation behavior of OPE is still not fully understood, which is important for understanding their environmental fate . In the present study, the photodegradation of tricresyl phosphate (TCP), one of the most widely detected OPEs in aqueous environments, was investigated including the direct photolysis and in the presence of several natural water factors, NO 2 − , Fe 3+ and humic acid . The degradation process followed the pseudo-first-order kinetics, with rate constant increasing slightly with increasing initial TCP concentration. The presence of NO 2 − and Fe 3+ was observed to promote the photochemical loss of TCP, while humic acid played a negative role on TCP transformation. Electron spin resonance (EPR) analysis showed that carbon-centered radical was produced in the photolysis process of TCP, and hydroxyl radical contributed to the promotion of rate constant for Fe 3+ and NO 2 − . Four photolysis products were tentatively identified by HPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap MS analysis, and the possible degradation pathways of TCP were proposed. These findings provide a meaningful reference for the fate and transformation of OPEs in natural water.

CuO nanoparticles with good water solubility and uniform particle size were successfully prepared. Interestingly, the oxidase-like activity of CuO NPs was continuously enhanced by the addition of thiourea (TU), and the enzyme activity was further enhanced by the addition of aluminum ion (Al 3+ ). By systematically exploring and optimizing the experimental conditions, including the key parameters such as temperature, reaction time, and pH, a fluorescence-colorimetric dual-mode sensing system based on CuO nanoparticles was constructed. The detection range of TU and Al 3+ were 1-100 µM and 1-100 µM, respectively, and the selectivity and precision of detection were further improved. In addition, the catalytic mechanism of CuO NPs as oxidase-like catalysts and the specific process in the reaction were investigated. Finally, the nano-sensing system was successfully applied to the analysis of three real environmental samples, namely, tap water, lake water and river water, which provided an effective new strategy for the future development of nano-sensing technology for TU and Al 3+ .

In the existence of appropriate amount of disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), precipitation would not occur in seawater and other natural waters even if the sample solution was adjusted to strong basicity, and the NH3-OPA-sulfite reaction at the optimal pH range could be used to determine ammonium in natural waters. Based on this, a modified o-phthalaldehyde fluorometric analytical method has been established to determine ultratrace ammonium in natural waters. Experimental parameters, including reagent concentration, pH, reaction time, and effect of EDTA, were optimized throughout the experiments based on univariate experimental design. The results showed that the optimal pH range was between 10.80 and 11.70. EDTA did not obviously affect the fluorometric intensity. The linearity range of the proposed method was 0.032–0.500 µmol/L, 0.250–3.00 µmol/L, and 1.00–20.0 µmol/L at the excitation/emission slit of 3 nm/5 nm, 3 nm/3 nm, and 1.5 nm/1.5 nm, respectively. The method detection limit was 0.0099 µmol/L. Compared to the classical OPA method, the proposed method had the advantage of being more sensitive and could quantify ultratrace ammonium without enrichment.

In this paper, a novel and stable fluorescent reagent, quinoline-2,3-dicarbaldehyde (QDA), is synthesized as a probe to detect ammonium in natural water. Ammonium reacts with QDA in the presence of SO32− and Ca2+ to form a fluorescence product, which has maximum excitation and emission wavelengths at 429 nm and 518 nm. The concentration of reagents, the reaction temperature, the reaction time, and the pH in the final solution are investigated and optimized. The interferences of typical organic nitrogen and inorganic compounds are evaluated, and results prove that most volatile amines have little or negligible effect. Under the optimized conditions, this method provides a limit of detection of 0.065 μmol L−1, a calibration range of 0.216–9 μmol L−1, and reproducibility (with a relative standard deviation) of 1.9% for 1.5 μmol L−1 ammonium. For water sample analysis, the proposed method provides comparable results to those of the conventional o-phthalaldehyde method but has longer reagent stability (42 days).
