In this study, nanosized ordered magnetic mesoporous Fe-Ce bimetal oxides (Nanosized-MMIC) with highly well-ordered inner-connected mesostructure were successfully synthesized through the KIT-6 template method. This Nanosized-MMIC displayed excellent adsorption capacities for As(V), Cr(VI) and AO7, and the corresponding calculated maximum adsorption capacities of material were 111.17, 125.28 and 156.52 mg/g, respectively. As(V) and Cr(VI) removal by Nanosized-MMIC were slightly dependent on the ionic strength but highly solution pH-dependent, the coexistent silicate and phosphate ions competed remarkably with both As(V) and Cr(VI) for the adsorption active site. Mechanisms indicated As(V) and Cr(VI) formed inner-sphere complexes on Nanosized-MMIC interface via the electrostatic interaction and surface complexation, while the total organic carbon (TOC) change demonstrated that AO7 could be removed completely and no organic intermediates formed through the adsorption process. In addition, Nanosized-MMIC also possessed superior adsorption performance in As(V)/Cr(VI)-AO7 binary systems, and the reusable and regeneration properties indicated that the obtained nanomaterials could maintain at a comparatively high level after several recycling. Finally, fixed-bed experiments suggested the Nanosized-MMIC was expected to have a promising excellent nano-adsorbent with high application potential for co-existed toxic heavy metals and organic dyes removal in practical wastewater treatment .

A novel polyamine-type starch/glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) copolymer with a high capacity for the adsorption of heavy metal ions was prepared via graft copolymerization of GMA and corn starch and a subsequent amination reaction between amino group of diethylenetriamine and epoxy group in GMA. The copolymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, and adsorption properties on modified starch of Cu(II), Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cr(III) were studied. By analysing the relationship between adsorption capacity and pH, adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetics, it is proved that the adsorption of the four metal ions is mainly based on the chemical adsorption of coordination. The maximum adsorption capacities of the copolymer were up to 2.33, 1.25, 0.83 and 0.56 mmol g−1 for Cu(II), Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cr(III), respectively. The adsorption of the four concerned metal ions was hardly affected by common coexisting ions such as Na(I), K(I), Ca(II) and Mg(II), whereas it was slightly decreased when Fe(II) and Zn(II) coexisted in the solution, which illustrates the selective adsorption of Cu(II), Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cr(III) from wastewater. After 10 cycles of adsorption–desorption experiments, there was no significant change in the adsorption capacity, indicating that the polyamine-type starch/GMA copolymer has high adsorption capacity and good reusability.

Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) with well-distribution size and strong blue emission were successfully synthesized via a simple mild hydrothermal strategy using citric acid and ethylenediamine as co-precursors. The highly fluorescent N-CDs exhibit high fluorescence quantum yield (QY, 58.6%), excitation-independent emission behavior, and good photostability. The experimental results showed that the N-CDs can be served as a fluorescent sensing platform for detection of Cr(VI) ions due to the effective fluorescence quenching effect of Cr(VI) ions. The quenching mechanism probably arises from the inner filter effect (IFE) and the electron transfer due to the strong interactions between functional groups ( COOH, OH and NH 2 groups) of the N-CDs and Cr(VI) ions. It is also found that the N-CDs showed high sensitivity toward Cr(VI) ions with a detection limit of 0.26 μM. Moreover, the obtained N-CD can be employed as chemsensor to detect Cr (VI) in real river water samples, which have potential applications in the environmental water.

Cauliflower-like nickel alkoxide, Ni/NiO and NiO architectures were synthesized via a reflux route using NaBH4–EG as alkaline precipitant. The as-prepared powders were characterized by XRD, FESEM, TEM, HRTEM, and N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms. The results show that the nickel alkoxide is made up of smooth spherical building blocks with diameters of about 500 nm that aggregate interactively to form whole 3D structures. The Ni/NiO and NiO architectures can be obtained by the direct thermal transformation from nickel alkoxide precursor at 300 °C and 600 °C, respectively, which are assembled by nanoparticles and composed of mesopores and macropore. The as-prepared three samples exhibit excellent performance for the removal of Congo red (CR) and Cr(VI) pollutant from aqueous solutions due to their hierarchical structures and high specific surface areas. The corresponding adsorption process fits well with the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the Langmuir model. Compared with nickel alkoxide and NiO, Ni/NiO architectures show the highest adsorption performance, with the maximum capacity of 642.37 and 92.52 mg g−1 for CR and Cr(VI), respectively. Further, the easily magnetic separation and reused clearly suggests that the Ni/NiO architectures can be explored as an excellent adsorbent for the removal of organic dye and heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions.

Ni-Cr-Co-Ti-V-Al high-entropy alloy coating on Ti-6Al-4V was synthesized by laser surface alloying. The coating is composed of a B2 matrix and (Co, Ni)Ti 2 compounds with few β-Ti phases. Focused ion beam technique was utilized to prepare TEM sample and TEM observations agree well with XRD and SEM results. The formation of HEA phases is due to high temperature and rapid cooling rate during laser surface alloying. The thermodynamic parameters, ΔH mix , ΔS mix and δ as well as Δχ, should be used to predict the formation of the BCC solid solution, but they are not the strict criteria. Especially when Δχ reaches a high value (≥ 10%), BCC HEA will be partially decomposed, leading to the formation of (Co, Ni)Ti 2 compound phases.

A highly effective Iron Metal-Framework photocatalyst (MIL-68(Fe)) has been successfully prepared via a facile solvothermal method under acidic condition. The UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectrum reveals that the absorption edge of MIL-68(Fe) is 440 nm. The flat-band potential of MIL-68(Fe) is −0.6 V vs. NHE at pH = 6.8, which is more negative than the redox potential of Cr(VI)/Cr(III) (+0.51 V, pH = 6.8). Consequently, it is thermodynamically permissible for the transformation of photogenerated electrons to the Cr(VI) to produce Cr(III). Moreover, MIL-68(Fe) could perform as an efficient photocatalyst towards the reduction of Cr(VI) aqueous with a wide pH range. After 5 min of visible light illumination (λ > 420 nm), almost 100% Cr(VI) can convert to Cr(III) with (NH 4 ) 2 C 2 O 4 as a scavenger (pH = 3), which is also higher than that of N-doped TiO 2 (50%) and ZnO (7.6%) under identical conditions. Furthermore, MIL-68(Fe) is proved to perform as a highly efficient photocatalyst for remove of different aqueous contaminant with malachite green (MG) as a scavenger. Finally, a possible reaction mechanism has also been investigated in detail.

The adsorption of toxic metals onto iron oxides is a prevalent geochemical process in natural environments. Organic acids are known to modify the adsorption features of toxic ions through either competitive or cooperative effects. Nowadays, the toxic metal adsorption influenced by organic acids on iron oxides with varying facet exposures is not fully understood. This study explored how L-Aspartic acid (LA) influences Cr(VI) adsorption on two different exposure facets of lepidocrocite through batch adsorption experiments, in situ ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, and 2D-COS analysis. The results reveal that LA competes for available binding sites on lepidocrocite, consequently inhibiting the adsorption of Cr(VI). Rod-shaped lepidocrocite (R-LEP) owns more (001) facets and shows stronger Cr(VI) adsorption and LA competition than plate-like lepidocrocite (P-LEP), which mainly has (010) facets. The data for Cr(VI) uptake on both P-LEP and R-LEP within the effect of LA are well-fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Freundlich isotherm model, suggesting chemical interaction as the dominant process for Cr(VI) coordination on lepidocrocite. Cr(VI) ions favor interaction with R-LEP over P-LEP, forming inner-sphere complexes on (001) facets. Concurrently, LA’s carboxyl groups can compete for the active sites on the lepidocrocite surfaces, engaging in anion exchange with hydroxyl groups, and forming outer-sphere and inner-sphere structures. This competitive effect is particularly pronounced in the R-LEP system. The current findings are expected to broaden insights into how the exposed facets of lepidocrocite influence the fate of Cr(VI) in the organic acid coexistence environment.

Using lignin as a raw material to prepare fluorescent nanomaterials represents a significant pathway toward the high-value utilization of waste biomass. In this study, Ni-doped lignin carbon dots (Ni-LCDs) were rapidly synthesized with a yield of 63.22 % and a quantum yield of 8.25 % using a green and simple hydrothermal method . Exploiting the inner filter effect (IFE), Cr(VI) effectively quenched the fluorescence of the Ni-LCDs, while the potent reducing agent ascorbic acid (AA) restored the quenched fluorescence, thus establishing a highly sensitive fluorescence switch sensor platform for the sequential detection of Cr(VI) and AA. Importantly, the integration of a smartphone facilitated the portability of Cr(VI) and AA detection, enabling on-site, in-situ, and real-time monitoring. Ultimately, the developed fluorescence and smartphone-assisted sensing platform was successfully applied to detect Cr(VI) in actual water samples and AA in various fruits. This study not only presents an efficient method for the conversion and utilization of waste lignin but also broadens the application scope of the CDs in the field of smart sensors.

Iron oxide minerals, such as hematite and magnetite, are commonly found in a wide range of geological environments. Their Fe isotopic composition acts as a potent geochemical tracer, finding applications across various realms of Earth sciences. However, natural iron oxide minerals often have a high Cr content up to percentile levels, necessitating correction of isobaric interference caused by 54 Cr + on 54 Fe + to ensure accurate and precise in situ Fe isotopic compositions. In this study, a pure chromium metal with homogeneous isotopic compositions was examined within the analysis sequence to obtain the fractionation factor of Cr (β Cr ) for isobaric interference correction. A femtosecond laser ablation system combined with wet plasma conditions was used to decrease the matrix effect. We synthesized a series of magnetite and hematite samples with simple matrix as well as natural magnetite samples with complex matrix to evaluate the feasibility of Cr interference correction. By employing our proposed correction method, the deviation caused by the isobaric interference of 54 Cr + was effectively eliminated. The corrected δ 56 Fe values for hematite and magnetite samples, even with a Cr/Fe ratio of as high as 1.27, exhibited good agreement with the reference values within the long-term reproducibility uncertainty of 0.10‰. These results indicate the robustness of Cr interference correction in obtaining accurate Fe isotopic compositions of Cr-rich iron oxides.

Herrin, the lignin extracted from Rice hull , Phyllostachys edulis , Cunninghamia lanceolata, and Populus tomentosa Carrière were used as a soft support to grow Ti-doped Bi 2 (O,S) 3 bimetal oxysulfide catalysts, labeled BT-Rh, BT-Pe, BT-Cl, and BT-Ptc, respectively. The catalytic reduction activity was investigated through the decolorization of methyl orange (MO), methylene blue (MB), and reduction of Cr(VI) solutions under dark. The lignin-supported BiTiOS improved crystallinity, decreased aggregate size, increased specific surface area, and enhanced electrochemical active sites, leading to improve electron transfer and accelerated reduction rates. The catalytic reduction activity of organic dyes and Cr(VI) was significantly improved with lignin-supported BiTiOS. The 5 mg BT-Pe catalyst completely reduced 100 mL of 50 ppm MO, MB, and Cr(VI) solutions in 6, 6, and 18 min, respectively, with the reaction kinetic rate of 0.6782, 1.090, and 0.1189 min −1 , and demonstrated good durability, maintaining a reduction rate of 95 % after six cycles. This work provides a feasible approach combining biomass/inorganic materials to treat industrial wastewater.

Fabricating an ion-to-electron transducer (IET) from waste in the solid contact screen-printed ion-selective electrodes (SC-SP-ISEs) technique is challenging because its properties determine the potential stability and reproducibility of the designed sensors. Herein, we fabricated an IET substrate from recyclable wastes, and we applied it as an IET layer in an ISE-based sensor for fast and on-site detection of lead ions (Pb 2+ ) in an environmental sample. First, MIL-101(Cr) was prepared based on a combination of PET and Cr +6 waste recycling (R-MIL-101(Cr)). Polyaniline (PANI) was polymerized over R-MIL-101(Cr) to prepare a conductive PANI@R-MIL-101(Cr) composite. Then, it was applied as an IET substrate in the construction of pb 2+ -ISE for the detection of Pb 2+ ions in sediment samples collected from Lake Idku, Egypt. Three Pb 2+ sensors were fabricated and abbreviated as sensors I, II, and III corresponded to PANI, R-MIL-101(Cr), and PANI@R-MIL-101(Cr) as IET substrates, respectively. The performance of the sensors was studied to be applied for fast and selective detection of Pb 2+ at low concentration levels. Among the fabricated sensors, PANI@R-MIL-101(Cr) shows fast response (5 sec), low detection limit (1 × 10 −7 mol/L), and long lifetime reaches 70 days with a potential drift of 0.9 mV h −1 . The electrochemical characteristics prove the fast ion-to-electron transportation in the case of PANI@R-MIL-101(Cr) owing to its lower impedance and high capacitance. In-situ polymerization of PANI significantly enhanced the conductivity of the PANI@R-MIL-101(Cr) composite. The hydrophobic nature of PANI@R-MIL-101(Cr) ensures high stability by preventing the formation of water layers at the electrode/membrane interface. These results show the great potential of the IET-based PANI@R-MIL-101(Cr) layer for Pb2 + sensing in environmental samples with low detection limits and high stability for the future development of SC-ISEs.

A novel approach for the simultaneous separation of zearalenone (ZEN) and four types of aflatoxins (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2) from rice samples was presented. This approach utilized modified MIL-101(Cr)-NH2 as core, with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) serving as the shell. The MIL-101(Cr)-NH2 was prepared via ring-opening reaction, while the imprinted polymers were synthesized using warfarin and 4-methylumbelliferyl acetate as co-pseudo template, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linker and azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator. The resulting co-pseudo-template-MIPs (CPT-MIPs) were thoroughly characterized and evaluated. Adsorption studies demonstrate that the adsorption process of CPT-MIPs follows a chemical monolayer adsorption mechanism, with imprinted factors ranging from 1.24 to 1.52 and selective factors ranging from 1.29 to 1.52. Self-made columns were prepared, and the method for separation was developed and validated. The limit of detections ranged from 0.12 to 2.09 μg/kg, and the limit of qualifications ranged from 1.2 to 6.25 μg/kg. To assess the reliability of the method, ZEN and AFs were spiked at three different levels, and the recoveries ranged from 79.53 to 94.58%, with relative standard deviations of 2.90–5.78%.
