In this study, modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was prepared and characterized by element analysis, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and surface area and proximity analysis. The isotherms and thermodynamic parameters of the modified PVA adsorption process were estimated. The data indicate that the adsorption process is exothermic, feasible, spontaneous, and fit to the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacities for Cd(II) and Pb(II) were calculated to be 1.19 and 1.48 mmol/g, respectively. Sorption was rapid, with the removal percentage higher than 98% after 10 min. Adsorption behavior mechanisms were analyzed using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models, which were highly fitted to pseudo-second-order model. This suggests the main adsorption mechanism is a chemical adsorption, involving ion exchange and valence forces through sharing or exchange of electrons between metal ions and modified PVA. The modified PVA is a good reusable sorbent, enhancing the economics of practical application for the removal of Cd(II) and Pb(II) from water and wastewater.

Heavy metal ion pollution has been a potential threat to human health. Herein, a sensitive electrochemical sensor for simultaneously detection of Cd(II) and Pb(II) was developed using a metal–organic framework material UiO-66. UiO-66 before and after carbonization was used to modify the GCE electrodes, respectively. The carbonized UiO-66 modified GCE electrode (CUiO-66/Bi/GCE) showed good detection ability with the linear detection range of 10–50 μg/L and detection limit of 1.16 and 1.14 μg/L for Cd(II) and Pb(II), respectively. Compared with UiO-66, carbonized UiO-66 provided more active sites for Bi ions and heavy metal ions to co-deposit and facilitated the electron transfer, leading to better detection performance. The decoration strategy was applied to disposable screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) to obtain the linear detection range of 20–120 μg/L and detection limit of 4.67 and 1.24 μg/L for Cd(II) and Pb(II) respectively. The prepared electrochemical sensors hold great potential in real water sample detections.

A novel magnetic ion-imprinted polymer (MIIP) was prepared by inverse microemulsion polymerization using ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the cross-linker, and 2,2-azo-bis-isobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator. Fe3O4 particles were incorporated into the imprinted polymer matrix containing 4-vinyl pyridine and acrylate-modified Spirulina platensis as the functional monomers, Pb(II) and Cd(II) as double-templates. The MIIP product was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy and then evaluated for the magnetic solid-phase extraction of Pb(II) and Cd(II) from environmental and food samples. Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry detection was also performed. The obtained MIIP showed the magnetic property, agglomerates of globular particles and rough surface morphologies. The maximum static adsorption capacities of MIIP for Pb(II) and Cd(II) were 108 and 56 mg g−1, respectively. The factors affecting the adsorption and separation of Pb(II) and Cd(II), namely, solution pH, adsorbent dosage, eluting solvent, and elution time, were investigated. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limits (S/N = 3) of the method were 0.1 and 0.08 μg kg−1 for Pb(II) and Cd(II), respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) for 10-replicate detections of a soil sample were 3.3% and 3.7% for Pb(II) and Cd(II), respectively. Standard solutions containing Pb(II) and Cd(II) in the concentration range of 0.8 to 5000 μg kg−1 were analyzed by the proposed procedure and it was found that the calibration curve was linear in this range (R2 ≥ 0.999). The proposed method was successfully used to determine the Pb(II) and Cd(II) contents of cinnamon, lotus root and sweet potato with recovery rates ranging from 87.5% to 106%.

The purpose of this study was to fabricate a low-cost and eco-friendly adsorbent using bamboo biochar (BB), a kind of charcoal composed of high Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area and variety of functional groups, and chitosan as substrates for remediation of Cd(II) in Cd(II) contaminated water and characterized the functional group characteristics, surface morphology, and Cd(II) adsorption effect using the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). Results showed that chitosan-modified bamboo biochar (CBB) provided more active adsorption sites (such as –NH2, –COOH, –OH, and C=O) on the surface to enhance the Cd(II) removal efficiency in Cd(II) contaminated wastewater. Meanwhile, the optimal pH, contact time, and dose of CBB on the Cd(II) removal efficiency are 7, 120 min, and 600 mg, respectively. In addition, the adsorption isotherm results revealed that the possible adsorption mechanisms might include surface adsorption, electrostatic adsorption, and ion exchanges. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity (Qm) values predicted from the Langmuir model were 37.74 and 93.46 mg/g for BB and CBB, respectively, also indicating a potential application of CBB in practical wastewater. Desorption and regeneration of CBB were attained simultaneously and the results showed that even after five cycles of adsorption-elution, the adsorption and desorption of CBB exhibited a slight decline and still reached at 71.70% and 65.92%. Results from this study would provide a reference to functionalized CBB for Cd(II) adsorption in contaminated water.

Rice bran, an underutilized by-product obtained from outer rice layers, has received wide interest due to its abundance, eco-friendliness, and low cost. In this research, cellulose , hemicellulose and lignin as the main components of rice bran were fractionated, and their Cd(II) adsorption capacity, behavior and mechanism were further studied. The adsorption capacity of cellulose for Cd(II) was 5.79 mg/g within the equilibrium time of 10 min, which was 1.8 and 3.6 times those of hemicellulose and lignin, respectively. The Cd(II) adsorption onto cellulose exhibited monolayer surface behavior, whilst the heterogeneous adsorption behavior was observed for hemicellulose and lignin. These differences were related to the discrepancy of morphology and chemical composition in three polymers. The multi-hole sticks morphology of cellulose and porous blocky structure of hemicellulose were observed, while lignin showed compact and agglomerated blocky structure. Cellulose had numerous available adsorption sites including the oxygen-containing functional groups, which bonded with Cd(II) driven by chemical interaction. In conclusion, it highlights that cellulose from rice bran has the great potential of being applied as adsorbent for the Cd(II) removal.

The larynx is an important organ of human speech, and patients with laryngeal cancer may face great pain of losing their functions. For the prevention and therapy of laryngeal carcinoma, two new Zn(II)/Cd(II) coordination polymers, namely [Zn 3 (L) 2 (4,4′-bipy)] n ·2n(DMF) ( 1 ) and [Cd 3 (L) 2 (bpp 2 ) n ·2n(H 2 O)·2n(DMF) ( 2 ) (H 3 L = 4,4′,4′′-ticarboxytriphenylamine, 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine, bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide), were prepared. The treatment and protection activity of the new compounds against the laryngeal carcinoma was evaluated in this research, and the corresponding mechanism was explored at the same time. Firstly, CCK-8 assay was conducted to measure the inhibitory activity of compounds on the viability of laryngeal carcinoma cells. Additionally, the expression of miR-223-3P in MSC exosomes was also measured by real time RT-PCR assay.

Cr(VI) and Cd(II) are typical heavy metal ions and their co-removal is significant. Nitrogen-doped, bi-functional, and biomass-based composites (CP-BA) were successfully applied for efficient and synergistic removal of Cr(VI) and Cd(II). The mutual promotion ratios of adsorption capacity by Cr(VI) and Cd(II) were 161.32 % and 14.13 %, respectively. In addition, all coexisting inorganic anions could extremely promote the removal of Cd(II) with the best promotion ratio upon phosphate ions as high as 80.00 %. The following co-removal mechanisms were deeply revealed: (1) Cr(VI) combined with protonated imine groups could weaken the electrostatic repulsion between CP-BA and Cd(II) by electrostatic shielding, and further promoted the coordination of Cd(II) with hydroxyl, carboxyl and neutral imine groups. (2) Cd(II) which were coordinated to neutral imine groups could form cation bridges, and thus promoted the interaction with Cr(VI) because of the electrostatic attraction. Moreover, the removal capacity for Cr(VI) and Cd(II) did not display obvious reduction even after four cycles. Therefore, CP-BA showed a great potential in the co-removal of inorganic anion-cation complexes from wastewater.

In this study, bentonite–Fe 3 O 4 –MnO 2 composite was synthesized by combining bentonite with Fe 3 O 4 and MnO 2 through co-precipitation. Vibrating-sample magnetometry , scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry , transmission electron microscopy , Brunauer–Emmett–Teller measurements, and X-ray powder diffraction techniques were used to characterize the composite. The composite consists of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles orderly assembled on the surface of bentonite and an outer layer of MnO 2 sheets. The composite’s particles possess a saturation magnetization of 13.4–30.5 emu/g and a high specific surface area (203.89 m 2 /g). The adsorption behaviors of the composite in Cd(II) removal were evaluated by batch equilibrium experiments. Kinetic and isothermal data fit well the pseudo-second-order and the Freundlich models, respectively. Adsorption reached equilibrium within 30 min, and the Freundlich capacity of the composite was 35.35 mg/g. The adsorption capacity of Cd(II) increased with increasing pH and was dependent on the ionic strength . Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed the combination of surface hydroxyl groups of the composite and Cd(II) in the solution. The prepared composite can be easily recycled and reused by taking advantage of its magnetic properties . The results show that the designed composite is a promising absorbent for the treatment of Cd-contaminated water.

Ionic liquids have been considered as green solvent for metal ion extraction. However, the high cost, low efficiency and hard phase separation limit their application. In this work, nano SiO2 supported ionic liquid (SiO2@NH-IL) prepared via simple homogeneous sol-gel method was used for adsorptive removal of Cd(II) from water sample. The material was characterized by XRD, TEM and FT-IR and zeta potential analysis. The adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherm and reusability as well as the adsorption mechanism were investigated. The effects of solution pH and temperature were also studied. It was found that this nano-adsorbent could be used to remove trace level of Cd(II) efficiently due to the strong coordination of Cd(II) with the ionic liquid. Thermodynamic and kinetic studies showed that the adsorption rate increased with the increase of temperature, the maximum adsorption capacity was 112.13 mg g−1 at higher temperature (i.e. 80 °C), and the adsorption equilibrium could achieve in 30 min. The nano-adsorbent could be easily regenerated by 0.5 mol L−1 of HCl and reused as least ten adsorption/desorption cycles. The as-prepared nano-adsorbent are potential candidate for adsorptive removal of Cd(II) in polluted wastewater, especially with higher temperature.

A facile magnetic chitosan composite used for heavy metal ions removal was prepared. The adsorbents with large specific area and rich carboxyl groups exhibited good removal of Cd(II) ions and could be easily separated with magnetic separation. The adsorption capacity of Cd(II) was 48 mg g −1 and the removal efficiency reached 86.7% after five cycles. Thus, the prepared magnetic chitosan composite could act as a potential adsorbent for Cd(II) ions removal.

Polymer-based adsorbents have emerged as promising candidates for heavy-metal remediation due to their tailorable porosity and multifunctional surfaces, yet challenges persist in achieving both structural precision and adsorption efficiency. Here, we report a concave hollow double-layer nanosphere (CHDN) synthesized through a facile self-assembly strategy engineered for selective capture of Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions. Comprehensive characterization via transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed the hierarchical architecture with abundant amino/hydroxyl moieties. The CHDN demonstrated exceptional adsorption capacities of 198.40 mg/g for Cd(II) and 60.34 mg/g for Pb(II), outperforming conventional adsorbents. Isotherm analysis revealed Cd(II) adsorption followed the Sips model (R2 > 0.99), while Pb(II) adhered to the Langmuir model, suggesting monolayer and heterogeneous binding mechanisms, respectively. Kinetic studies further corroborated chemisorption dominance through pseudo-second-order fitting for Cd(II) and Elovich compatibility for Pb(II). We propose a synergistic mechanism involving ligand complexation and ion exchange, facilitated by the dual functionality of surface groups and structural advantages of the concave architecture. This work provides a blueprint for designing spatially engineered polymers for environmental remediation.

A novel α-FeOOH modified wheat straw biochar (α-FeOOH@BC) was developed and the findings of the current study showed that α-FeOOH@BC is an efficient material for the simultaneous removal of cations (Cd(II)) and anions (As(III)) from aqueous solutions. The SEM, FTIR, and XRD analysis proved that α-FeOOH@BC was covered by α-FeOOH. In the single adsorption system, the maximum adsorption capacities of α-FeOOH@BC for Cd(II) and As(III) were 62.9 and 78.3 mg/g, respectively. In the dual adsorption system, the maximum adsorption capacities of α-FeOOH@BC for Cd(II) and As(III) dropped to 39.3 and 67.2 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption capacities of Cd(II) and As(III) by α-FeOOH@BC were much higher by BC and α-FeOOH both in single and dual adsorbate system. The adsorption results were well fitted by the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order kinetics models. The Cd(II) and As(III) co-adsorption on α-FeOOH@BC had a competitive effect, and the dominant adsorption mechanisms were co-precipitation and ion exchange. Our study showed that α-FeOOH@BC could be an effective remediation material for Cd(II) and As(III) co-adsorption from aqueous environment.
