This study presents an organic reagent, quercetin, as a flotation depressant used to effectively separate chalcopyrite and galena. Quercetin and O-isopropyl-N-ethyl thionocarbamate (IPETC) are used as depressants and collectors, respectively, and results of micro-flotation tests showed that quercetin can depress galena and has less effect on chalcopyrite. Tests of artificially mixed samples of the chalcopyrite and galena show that the separation effect of quercetin as a depressant is better than that of sodium sulfate and sodium silicate combined depressant, it is close to that of potassium bichromate as a depressant, that is, it has the potential to be a depressant to achieve selective separation of chalcopyrite and galena. The X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy results demonstrate that quercetin can chemisorb with oxidized metal sites on minerals’ surfaces. Results of the contact angle, adsorption capacity, and Atomic Force Microscope show that quercetin has comparable adsorption amounts on both minerals’ surfaces, and can hinder the IPETC adsorption on the mineral surface, but the amount of IPETC adsorb on chalcopyrite is much higher than on galena surfaces. The differences in the adsorption of the collector on their surface are the main reason for realizing the separation of chalcopyrite from galena.

The synthesis of zeolite ETS-10 is strongly influenced by factors such as pH, the amount of the structure-directing agent, hydrothermal temperature and duration, which collectively affect the material’s morphology and structure. This study thoroughly investigates the effects of these parameters on the synthesis of ETS-10 zeolite using TiCl 3 and a waterglass solution. Characterization of the materials was performed through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and nitrogen isotherm adsorption-desorption at 77 K (BET-BJH) techniques. The findings indicate that pH and the structure-directing agent significantly influenced the phase composition , while hydrothermal temperature predominantly determined the crystallization rate of ETS-10. Optimal synthesis conditions were established at an initial pH of 11, employing 0.3 g of the structure-directing agent and conducting hydrothermal crystallization at 230 °C for 24 h. Under these conditions, the ETS-10 zeolite produced exhibited a high surface area of 300.1 m 2 /g, making it effective in removing Pb 2+ ions from solution. In particular, when tested under optimal conditions (pH 5) for 600 min, Pb (II) adsorption by ETS-10 reached a maximum uptake capacity of 956.19 mg/g, as determined by the Langmuir isotherm model. This capacity surpasses that of as-synthesized ETS-10 prepared from alternative Ti sources and other materials used in previous studies on Pb(II) adsorption.

Spent bleaching clay (SBC) is a by-product of refining edible oil. The adsorbed oil in SBC can be recycled into aromatics via catalytic pyrolysis, whereas the solid product is a biological carbon-rich clay (PBC). In order to achieve the value-added utilization of PBC, an effective method was developed to prepare clay/carbon adsorbent (SBC/C–S) with high adsorption performance, and its adsorption capability was evaluated by adsorbing Pb(Ⅱ) from simulated Pb(Ⅱ)-contaminated wastewater. PBC was activated with sulfuric acid after pyrolysis to produce SBC/C–S, while the clay structure maintained the major mineral structure. The formed carbon layer primarily contributed to the microporous structure and active sites on surface, which was conducive to the efficient Pb(Ⅱ) adsorption. The adsorption thermodynamics and kinetics of SBC/C–S were studied via fitting different mathematical models, and the results matched well with pseudo-second order and Freundlich models. The adsorption mechanism of SBC/C–S might be electrostatic attraction or chemical complexation. The adsorption capacity of SBC/C–S reached 315.60 mg/g, much higher than that of fresh and H 2 SO 4 activated bleaching clays (69.03 and 295.28 mg/g). Therefore, SBC/C–S is a potential adsorbent with great reusability for Pb(Ⅱ) removal from industrial wastewater, which achieves the recycling and effective utilization of waste material.

In this study, a novel carbon aerogel adsorbent (Mn-PA-CS) was synthesized through a one-step calcination-activation method using manganese acetate as the precursor. Unlike conventional phytic acid-activated carbons, this work introduces manganese doping as an effective strategy to tailor the pore structure and surface chemistry. The resulting material features enriched surface P/O functional groups and a significantly increased proportion of micropores (0.7–0.8 nm), which closely match the hydration diameter of Pb(II) ions, alongside elevated defect density (ID/IG = 0.94). These modifications synergistically promote adsorption through micropore filling, electrostatic attraction, and surface complexation. The optimized Mn-PA-CS, prepared with 100 mg of manganese acetate, exhibited a high Pb(II) uptake capacity of 302.88 mg·g -1 , which represents a 132.43% improvement compared to the undoped material. The adsorption behavior followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Freundlich isotherm, suggesting a spontaneous, endothermic, and multilayer chemisorption process. This study indicates that transition metal doping is a promising strategy for regulating the adsorption performance of bio-derived carbon materials.

Heavy metal pollution is a huge hazard to the water environment and modified clay adsorbents have been widely used to remove heavy metals from water. Degradable anionic chelating agents have a greater potential for the immobilization of heavy metals, so tetrasodium iminodisuccinate (IDS) was introduced to modify montmorillonite (Mt) for Pb(II) and Cd(II) adsorption from water in this study. IDS was bound with Mt by sonication, heating, and acidity to form IDS-Mt, and characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and zeta potential analyzer. The batch adsorption experiments revealed that IDS-Mt5 had excellent adsorption capacity of Pb(II) and Cd(II) up to 214.73 mg/L and 104.07 mg/L, respectively. The adsorption process of IDS-Mt on Pb(II) and Cd(II) was consistent with the Sips model and PSO model, indicating that the adsorption was heterogeneous and chemical. The adsorption capacities of IDS-Mt in the second cycle remained above 76 % for Pb(II) and 69 % for Cd(II) of the initial ones, respectively. IDS was immobilized on the interlayer and edge surfaces of Mt through interactions or forming hydrogen bonds facilitated by ultrasonic under acidic heating conditions. Pb(II) and Cd(II) were immobilized by IDS-Mt through cation exchange, negative charge attraction at the edge surface, and IDS chelation. IDS-Mt was an excellent adsorbent with strong dispersibility and swelling properties for Pb(II) and Cd(II) removal from contaminated water. This study provides a new solution for the anionic modification of Mt and a new material for the treatment of heavy metal wastewater.

Thermo-responsive materials represent a novel class of functional materials capable of reversible swelling, contraction, or phase transition in response to environmental temperature changes, demonstrating vast potential in environmental remediation. This study successfully synthesized a composite hydrogel with interpenetrating network structure, using sodium alginate (SA) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as the matrix, and incorporating the thermo-sensitive polymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM). The SCP composite gel enables controlled adsorption and release of Pb(II) through temperature-dependent regulation of surface hydrophilicity. At lower temperatures, hydrophilic groups are exposed on the material surface, resulting in a high Pb(II) adsorption capacity of up to 311 mg g −1 . When the temperature exceeds the lower critical solution temperature (LCST), a conformational transition occurs, leading to the concealment of hydrophilic groups and subsequent release of adsorbed Pb(II). This tunable approach ensures superior regeneration performance of the material. The reliability of the experimental data was further validated by fitting with isothermal adsorption models and kinetic models. This study has shown that SCP composite hydrogel is a cost-effective and highly efficient adsorbent for Pb(II), holding significant application value in the treatment of heavy metal wastewater.

In this study, a novel lignin-based magnetic composite with a shell-and-core structure and high saturated magnetic strength has been developed for the efficient removal of Pb(II) from wastewater. The adsorbent was fabricated through the introduction of silica–amino groups and a cross-linking complex with lignin, utilizing Fe-Fe2O3as a magnetic source. The paramagnetic characteristics enabled its rapid separation from the aqueous solution within merely 15 s. Batch adsorption experiments demonstrated that the adsorbents could reach equilibrium for Pb(II) adsorption within 30 min. When the concentration of Pb(II) is in the low range of 0 to 200 mg/L, the removal rate of Pb(II) approaches 100%, and the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity is as high as 384.2 mg/g. The mechanism analysis indicated that the adsorption process was primarily characterized as monolayer chemisorption. Notably, the resultant bio-composites demonstrated a high level of stability even after eight consecutive adsorption and desorption cycles, with the removal rate of Pb(II) still reaching 82.3%. This work outlines a novel approach for designing highly efficient lignin-derived adsorbents toward wastewater treatment.

Ag 2 Se has emerged as a promising thermoelectric (TE) material for room-temperature applications. However, its TE performance is limited by the low carrier effective mass ( m* ) of only 0.1 m 0 , where m 0 represents the free electron mass. In this study, we employ a microwave-assisted method to synthesize nanostructured Ag 2-x Se with Pb doping that is found to increase m* to 0.4 m 0 . Accordingly, the Seebeck coefficient is significantly enhanced, which together with the high electrical conductivity, leads to enhanced electronic transport. The increase in m* is systematically investigated by density functional theory calculations and linked to the enhanced electronic by modeling simulations. The calculated band structures reveal that the hybridization of heavy Pb-6p orbitals flattens the conduction band edges, and thereby enhances m* . Furthermore, Pb doping significantly reduces the lattice thermal conductivity due to the high-density point defects, dislocations, and grain boundaries, as revealed by detailed electron microscopy characterizations. The synergy from both enhanced electronic transport and reduced phonon propagation yielded a maximum figure of merit of 1.04 at 376 K, and an average figure of merit of 1.0 for Pb-doped Ag 1.9 Se. The optimized TE performance is further validated in a flexible TE generator, which produced a maximum output power of 0.6 μW at a temperature difference of 45 K. These findings demonstrate that enhancing m* and increasing phonon-scattering using vacancy tuning and aliovalent doping effectively boosts the TE performance of Ag 2 Se, a strategy that can be extended to other TE materials to maximize their potentials for power generation and thermoelectric cooling applications.

Magnetic fibers are ideal adsorbent material, the fibers have large aspect ratio, entangled with each other, do not agglomerate in water, magnetic materials can be magnetically separated, so magnetic fibers have the advantage of not agglomerating in water, easy to separate, more suitable for use as an adsorbent. The most commonly used methods for preparing NiFe 2 O 4 fibers were direct electrospinning and surface loading. Whether using NiFe 2 O 4 as a filler for direct electrospinning or loading it onto fibers, there are issues with limited NiFe 2 O 4 content and uneven loading. Compared to commonly used direct electrospinning and surface loading, we developed a simple sol–gel method to prepare the precursor spinning solution, then prepared the magnetic NiFe 2 O 4 fibers with excellent flexibility through electrospinning, and applied it to the adsorption of Pb (II) for the first time. The spinning solution was synthesized using iron sources, nickel sources and citric acid, the iron and nickel ions coordinated with carboxyl group according to the monodentate coordination. The flexible NiFe 2 O 4 fibers exhibited a saturation magnetization of 18.2 emu/g. Specific surface area of the flexible NiFe 2 O 4 fibers was 13.443 m 2 /g and total pore volume of the magnetic NiFe 2 O 4 fibers was 0.074 cm 3 /g. In the adsorption experiment, The NiFe 2 O 4 fibers demonstrated a maximum Pb(II) adsorption capacity of 49.53 mg/g. Due to the self-supporting and non-agglomeration advantages of the fiber structure in solution and the maximum adsorption capacity of the NiFe 2 O 4 fibers synthesized in this study for Pb(II) exceeded that of most previously reported NiFe 2 O 4 adsorbents. Flexible magnetic fibers provided a new solution for simultaneously improving the adsorption capacity of pollutant and achieving rapid magnetic separation, becoming another new material for expanding applications in the field of wastewater treatment.

A strategy involving the use the rare-earth compound LaF 3 with good lubrication and stability properties as a filler in the preparation of Cu-based composites was proposed to solve the problem of poor wear resistance in Pb-free Cu-Bi materials. The influence and regulatory mechanism of LaF 3 content on the mechanical and tribological properties of these composites were studied. The results indicate that LaF 3 has a good refining effect on Cu alloy grains, and LaF 3 and Bi are distributed in a network along the grain boundaries of the Cu alloy in the material. As the LaF 3 content increases, the mechanical properties and friction coefficient of the composite gradually decrease, and the wear rate first declines and then increases. The wear resistance of Cu-Bi composite containing LaF 3 mainly depends on the mechanical support provided by the matrix. When the LaF 3 content is higher than 6%, the composite strength is extremely low, and the increase in lubricant content at the friction interface does not play a decisive role in the material wear behaviour. The material wear rate increases with the increase in LaF 3 content. Therefore, using 6% LaF 3 is recommended to improve the wear resistance of the material and maintain a balance among its mechanical properties, antifriction and wear resistance.

Numbers of emerging evidence suggest that lead (Pb) exposure contributes to cognitive decline and might also increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia in the elderly by increasing the beta-amyloid burden. Here, we aimed to characterize the effects of Pb on the post-transcriptional regulators, microRNAs (miRNAs), which may participate in AD pathogenesis. At first, early chronic Pb exposure on neuronal miRNAs expression with increasing aging was profiled to elucidate the association of three selected miRNAs with β-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1(BACE1), a rate-limiting enzyme for β-amyloid (Aβ) production. Next, we verified changes in BACE1 were observed by regulating miRNAs expression in vitro. While Pb promoted BACE1 levels, BACE1 levels were reduced in SH-SY5Y cells with miR-124-3p mimic, suggesting for the first time that miR-124-3p/BACE1 pathway modulation is critically involved in Pb-induced AD-like amyloidogenic processing. Findings from this study could provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms of Pb-associated neurodegenerative pathogenesis from an epigenetic perspective.

Vitrification technology is an effective solution for rapid stabilization and resource utilization of heavy metal-containing hazardous waste. Waste soda-lime-silica (SLS) glass is an abundantly available vitrification flux and can contribute to the sustainable waste-treating-waste strategy. Understanding the interactions between the SLS glass network and heavy metals is vital for optimizing the vitrified composition systems. This study adopted molecular dynamics simulations and various experimental techniques to comprehensively elucidate the immobilization mechanism of the representative heavy metal ion of Pb 2+ in SLS glass. Our results indicated Pb ions were incorporated into the glass matrix primarily as three forms, namely, [PbO 3 ] triangles, [PbO 4 ] tetrahedra, and highly coordinated [PbO n ] ( n > 4) polyhedra. With the increasing amount of Pb ions immobilized, the dominant role of Pb ions transformed from the network modifiers of highly coordinated [PbO n ] units to the network formers of [PbO 3 ] and [PbO 4 ] units. As a result, the degree of network polymerization first decreased and then increased with the turning point of 7.5 wt% PbO content. Different from regular [SiO 4 ] tetrahedra, the [PbO 3 ] and [PbO 4 ] units were less stable and prone to deformation, resulting in the small inter-polyhedral bond angle Pb-O-Si. The structural transformations significantly affected the macroscopic thermal and chemical stability of the vitrification products. Generally, the vitrification products with a PbO content of below 11 wt% were allowed to be recycled in construction materials according to the Chinese standard. This study has a high value for tuning vitrification chemistry and developing green Pb-containing vitrification materials.
