Composite pollution arising from the coexistence of heavy metals and organic compounds in environmental systems is becoming increasingly prevalent. However, the marked differences in physicochemical properties between these two categories of pollutants render conventional materials inadequate for their simultaneous and efficient removal. In this study, a novel aminated biochar (NBC) was synthesized using water hyacinth as feedstock and triethylenetetramine as the modifying agent to achieve concurrent removal of Cd(II) and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP). The results demonstrate that NBC achieves removal efficiencies of 94.6% for Cd(II) and 92.8% for 2,4-DCP. Compared with pristine biochar, NBC exhibits a rougher surface, an enlarged specific surface area, and abundant –NH 2 and –CH 2 – functional groups. Mechanistic investigations reveal that the –NH 2 groups are capable of forming coordination bonds with Cd(II), while simultaneously engaging in N–H···O hydrogen bonding with the phenolic hydroxyl groups of 2,4-DCP. The –CH 2 – crosslinked framework confers excellent structural stability, as evidenced by sustained removal efficiencies of 80.34% and 75.67% for the two pollutants after eight regeneration cycles. Moreover, the 2,4-DCP adsorbed on the material surface can act as a π-electron donor, establishing cation–π interactions with free Cd(II) in solution, which further enhances the overall removal performance. This study offers a viable strategy for the simultaneous remediation of heavy metals and organic pollutants in complex environmental matrices.

Herein, nitrogen and sulfur codoped carbon dots (N&S CDs) were prepared by a facile hydrothermal process and they could be introduced as a fluorescent probe for the determination of cadmium ions (Cd2+), yielding high sensitivity and excellent selectivity. The obtained N&S CDs exhibited bright blue fluorescence with a quantum yield of 40% and exhibited a fast responsive fluorescence quenching signal within 2 min toward Cd2+ in both ultrapure water and real water samples. The CDs responded to Cd2+, which acted as a quencher of blue fluorescence at 459 nm with the limit of detection of 0.018 μM in the range of 0.02–1 μM. The quenching fluorescence behavior was found to obey the static quenching effect (SQE). The low toxicity and good cell permeability of CDs were verified by cell experiments.

Since Cd(II) and As(III) have extremely opposite chemical characteristics, it is a huge challenging to simultaneously remove these two ions from aqueous solutions. Therefore, a novel iron sulfide-based porous biochar (FSB) was synthesized and used to evaluate its Cd(II) and As(III) removal performance and mechanisms. The characterization and batch experiments results indicated that FeS was successfully loaded on the surface of biochar and increased its adsorption sites. The iron sulfide-based porous biochar was very favorable for the removal of Cd(II) and As(III) in the weakly acidic environment. The maximum adsorption of Cd(II) and As(III) by FSB was 108.8 mg g −1 and 76.3 mg g −1 , respectively, according to the Langmuir and Freundlich isothermal adsorption model, and the adsorption equilibrium time was 12 h and 4 h, respectively, according to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. In the coexisting ion system, Cd(II) adsorption was suppressed by Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , and humic acid, but enhanced by PO 4 3− and As(III). As(III) adsorption was inhibited by PO 4 3− and humic acid. Precipitation and complexation are the predominant adsorption mechanisms of Cd(II) and As(III), which contribute to the formation of Cd-O, Fe-O-Cd, As-O, Fe-O-As, ternary complex Cd-Fe-As, and stable compounds FeAsO 4 ·2H 2 O and CdS. Therefore, The iron sulfide-based porous biochar can be an efficient and environmentally friendly candidate for the treatment of Cd(II) and As(III) co-polluted irrigation water.

In this paper, air-dried lake sludge was pretreated by ball milling, and then pyrolysed at 600°C to prepare lake sludge-derived ball milling biochar, and Fe 3 O 4 was loaded on lake sludge-derived ball milling biochar by chemical precipitation. Scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction were used to investigate and characterize the adsorbents. The results demonstrated that ball mill pretreatment and Fe 3 O 4 -loaded can effectively increase the content of O-containing groups in the adsorbent. The batch adsorption experiments revealed that Cd(II) removal followed the pseudo-second- order kinetic model and the Langmuir model. Additionally, the Cd(II) maximum adsorption by biochar (BC), MBBC and Fe 3 O 4 @MBBC was 31.33, 47.36 and 92.42 mg/g, respectively. The Cd(II) removal mechanisms were complexation, ion exchange, co-precipitation and electrostatic interaction. The Cd(II) removal efficiency on Fe 3 O 4 @MBBC was maintained at 91.35% after 5 adsorption– desorption experiments, indicating that Fe 3 O 4 @MBBC had the ability to be better applied for the removal of Cd(II)-containing wastewater.

The transport of Pb(II) or Cd(II) in subsurface has been studied in the literature; however; their co-transport in porous media in presence of colloids has not been clearly understood. In this work, a series of column experiments were conducted to study Pb(II) and Cd(II) co-transport in saturated porous media under various experimental conditions with different combination of colloidal solution (montmorillonite colloid, manual loessial soil colloid and humic acid), flow rate (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 ml min−1) and sand grain size (0.4–0.8mm and 0.8–2.0mm). The results showed that increase of flow rate and grain size promoted the mobility of Pb(II) and Cd(II), furthermore, the presences of mobile colloids also enhanced the mobility of the two heavy metals, meanwhile, Cd(II) showed higher mobility than Pb(II) in the columns. Findings from this work enhanced current understanding of the competitive transport and colloid-facilitated transport of heavy metals in saturated porous media.

Developing a reliable, sensitive and portable electrochemical sensor for precise determination of trace heavy metal ions in water is an attractive challenge. In this work, an integrated three-electrode sensor based on screen–printed gold working electrode (SPAuE) ex-situ electroplated bismuth film was developed via a facile and simple process for the determination of trace Pb(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II) by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). The bismuth film was deposited on SPAuE at a potential of −0.08 V (Bi/SPAuE −0.08V ). The results exhibited the sensor with a wide linear range (from 1 to 120 μg L -1 ) for the simultaneous detection of these three heavy metal ions. Besides, the detection limits of Pb(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II) for the sensor were respectively found to be 0.04 μg L −1 , 0.02 μg L −1 , and 0.05 μg L −1 (S/N = 3). The proposed sensor revealed good anti-interference ability, satisfactory repeatability with RSDs of less than 2.5% (n = 12), excellent reproducibility with RSDs of less than 2.5% (n = 6), and considerable stability. The detection accuracy of the Bi/SPAuE −0.08V based sensor was further evaluated via atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Due to its simplicity in process, high detection performance and excellent reliability, such sensors are expected to find utility in portable heavy metal detection applications.

Heavy metal ions in water, cosmetics, and arable land have become a world-wide issue as they cause a variety of diseases and even death to humans and animals when a certain level is exceeded. Therefore, it is necessary to development a new kind of sensor material for the determination of heavy metal ions. In this paper, we present an electrochemical sensor based on composite material (thiol(–SH) grafted poly(3,4-proplenedioxythiophene) (PProDOT(MeSH)2)/ porous silicon spheres (Si) composite, denoted as PProDOT(MeSH)2@Si) from the incorporation of thiol(–SH) grafted poly(3,4-proplenedioxythiophene) (PProDOT(MeSH)2) with porous silicon spheres (Si) for the electrochemical detection of heavy metal ions (Cd(II), Pb(II), and Hg(II)). The PProDOT(MeSH)2@Si composite was synthesized via a chemical oxidative polymerization method. The structure and morphology of PProDOT(MeSH)2@Si composite were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), and Brunauer−Emmett−Teller (BET). Furthermore, the electrochemical performance of PProDOT(MeSH)2@Si was evaluated by detecting of Cd(II), Pb(II), and Hg(II) ions using the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) method. The relationship between structural properties and the electrochemical performance was systematically studied. The results showed that the entry of two thiol-based chains to the monomer unit resulted in an increase in electrochemical sensitivity in PProDOT(MeSH)2,which was related to the interaction between thiol group(-SH) and heavy metal ions. And, the combination of PProDOT(MeSH)2with Si could improve the electrocatalytic efficiency of the electrode material. The PProDOT(MeSH)2@Si/GCE exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity in the rage of 0.04 to 2.8, 0.024 to 2.8, and 0.16 to 3.2 μM with the detection limit of 0.00575, 0.0027, and 0.0017 µM toward Cd(II), Pb(II), and Hg(II), respectively. The interference studies demonstrated that the PProDOT(MeSH)2@Si/GCE possessed a low mutual interference and high selectivity for simultaneous detection of Cd(II), Pb(II), and Hg(II) ions.Keywords:thiol(–SH), poly(3,4-proplenedioxythiophene), porous silicon spheres;electrochemical sensor;heavy metal ions;simultaneous detection

Nanofiber membranes from the composite of cellulose acetate/polyvinylpyrrolidone were prepared using electrospinning technique. After treated with water and alcoholic KOH to remove partially polyvinylpyrrolidone and deacetylate the cellulose acetate, the membranes were further functionalized with thiol groups using thioglycolic acid. Related materials were characterized using infrared and thermogravimetric analysis. And the results showed that the membranes were success of functionalisation. Then the nanofiber membranes were used in the sorption-desorption process. The effects of pH, contacting time and adsorption capacity of nanofiber membranes were studied against Cu(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions. And the maximum adsorption capacities of Pb (II), Cu (II), and Cd (II) ions were estimated at 30.96, 19.63, 34.70 mg g −1 . Our results suggested that the adsorption behaviour of metal ions could be described using Langmuir model. Their adsorption kinetics was in agreement with the model of pseudo-second order, suggesting chemical adsorption as the rate-limiting step of the adsorption mechanism. The durability of the thiol-functionalized cellulose nanofiber membranes was also evaluated by repetitive adsorption-desorption.

Various carbon nanomaterials for use in anodic stripping voltammetric analysis of Hg(II), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Cd(II) are screened. Graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers and fullerene (C 60 ), dispersed in chitosan (Chit) aqueous solution, are used to modify a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The fullerene-chitosan modified GCE (C 60 -Chit/GCE) displays superior performance in terms of simultaneous determination of the above ions. The electrodes and materials are characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The excellent performance of C 60 -Chit/GCE is attributed to the good electrical conductivity, large surface area, strong adsorption affinity and unique crystalline structure of C 60 . Using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry, the assay has the following features for Hg(II), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Cd(II), respectively: (a) Peak voltages of +0.14, −0.11, −0.58 and − 0.82 V (vs SCE); (b) linear ranges extending from 0.01–6.0 μM, 0.05–6.0 μM, 0.005–6.0 μM and 0.5–9.0 μM; and (c), detection limits (3σ method) of 3 nM (0.6 ppb), 14 nM (0.9 ppb), 1 nM (0.2 ppb) and 21 nM (2.4 ppb). Moreover, the modified GCE is well reproducible and suitable for long-term usage. The method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of these ions in spiked foodstuff.
Compared with graphene, carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers, an electrode modified with fullerene in chitosan electrode displays superior performance for the simultaneous anodic stripping voltammetric detection of Hg(II), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Cd(II).

The application of sorbent in solving the water pollution induced by heavy metals or metalloids is severely hindered by poor sorption performance and high cost, especially in simultaneous removal. Design and synthesis of nanocomposites as effective sorbents has been widely considered as a promising approach to address this problem. Herein, graphene oxide supported organo-montmorillonite composite (GO-OM) was prepared through a facile ultrasonic-assisted method for the first time and exhibited excellent synergetic adsorption behavior for mixed pollutants in aqueous solutions. Unlike previous studies, the simultaneous removal process can be well-described by the Freundlich and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The sorption capacities of GO-OM are very high for both metal cations and oxyanionic groups, showing excellent potential in the removal of multiple contaminants. Our study also reveals that GO-OM has high recycling efficiency and good performance under a low level concentration. All results suggest that GO-OM can be used as effective and ecofriendly sorbents for the removal of combined pollutants in an aqueous environment. This work contributes to developing high-performance graphene materials with organic minerals and gives deep insight into simultaneous sorption of metal ions, which can be potentially extended to other multiple pollutants.

Pyrolysis of sludge to biochar can not only reduce the sludge volume, toxic organic compound, and pathogens, but also be applied as effective adsorbents. However, the immobilization of heavy metals in the sludge and the properties of the biochar greatly rely on the pyrolysis temperature. In this paper, municipal sludge biochar (SBC) was prepared from 400 to 1000 °C. Pyrolysis immobilized heavy metals in sludge and the potential ecological risk of heavy metals significantly decreased to low level at temperature above 500 °C. At 700 °C, the adsorption capacity of Cd(II) reached a maximum (120.24 mg·g −1 ). The Cd(II) adsorption fitted the Pseudo-second-order model, indicating the existence of chemical adsorption. The adsorption capacity increased along with the initial pH and slowed down after pH reached 5.5. The existence of coexisting cations (Ca 2+ and Na + ) and anions (SO 4 2− and NO 3 − ) displayed different degree of inhibitory action on Cd(II) adsorption. The SEM, XRD, FTIR, and XPS analysis of sludge biochar before and after adsorption revealed that there were CdCO 3 , CdSO 4 , Cd 2 SiO 4 , Cd 3 (PO 4 ) 2 , and Cd 9 (PO 4 ) 6 appearing on the surface of sludge biochar, suggesting that the adsorption of Cd(II) by SBC included co-precipitation, ion exchange, coordination with π electrons, and complexation. It was confirmed that different properties formed by pyrolysis temperature made a difference in adsorption mechanism of sludge biochar.

A two-dimensional (2D) water-stable Cd (II) luminescent coordination polymer ( 1 ), namely {[CdLCl 2 ]} n , was obtained through assembly of a new 2-deoxy- d -ribose derivative ligand (L) with CdCl 2 , 1 showed high stability in water. Further investigation showed that 1 can be used as luminescent probe for the organoarsenic compound Roxarsine (ROX) with high selectivity and sensitivity, high quenching constants (K SV = 2.34 × 10 4 M −1 ), low limits of detection (LOD) (0.16 μM) and good recyclability in aqueous media. In addition, this luminescent probe can detect some inorganic harmful ions (Fe 3+ , Cr 2 O 7 2− and CrO 4 2− ) with excellent versatility. The detection mechanism was proved that the quenching was caused by competitive absorption and resonance energy transfer effect between 1 and analytes. More strikingly, a simple 1 -based test strip was developed owing to the quick response and recyclability of 1 , which shows visible quenching signals under UV light even when analytes concentrations are as low as 5 μM. This work has provided an effective method for the design of multifunctional CP luminescent sensors for pollutants detections in aqueous media.
