In recent years, the surge in industrialization and urbanization has led to the release of a significant amount of heavy metal ions into water. These ions, when present in drinking water, can enter the human body and cause irreversible health problem. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have drawn considerable attention for their outstanding ability to remove these heavy metal ions. However, MOF powders tend to aggregate in water, reducing their adsorption efficiency and potentially leading to secondary environmental pollution. In this regard, the development of MOF composites that are highly adsorptive, recyclable, and maintain stable dispensability in water is crucial for heavy metal ions removal. Herein, the in situ growth of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) on melamine sponge (MS) using a secondary growth method is reported. The resultant composite sponges exhibit high efficiency in adsorbing Pb(II) and Cu(II) from water and maintain good reusability. These findings offer a promising method in efficiently eliminating Pb(II) and Cu(II) from aqueous solutions.

Polypropylene-based chelating fibers grafted with acrylic acid and acrylamide side chains were simply synthesized, and subsequently employed as adsorbents for Pb(II) removal selectively from aqueous solutions. The assynthesized fibers were characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, and water contact angle. The adsorption results revealed that kinetics data were fitted by a pseudo-second order model (semi-saturation time 6.2 min), thereby suggesting chelating interaction to be the main mechanism during the adsorption process. The adsorption isotherm data fitted well with a Langmuir model. The thermodynamic study revealed the adsorption of Pb(II) as an exothermic spontaneous chemisorptive process. Coexisting Na(I), Mg(II), and Al(III) in solution showed negligible effects in the adsorption process. As confirmed by carboxyl amination, the carboxylate oxygen preferentially chelates coexisting Ca(II) over Pb(II), thereby leading to lower extents of Pb(II)-O chelate interaction. The spent fibers were effectively and repetitively (five cycles) regenerated while maintaining high performance upon treatment with 1 M hydrochloric acid solutions.

Lead (Pb) contamination in wastewater poses a persistent environmental challenge. Developing effective, sustainable adsorbents from renewable resources is a key goal of cleaner production. Herein, a bio‑based organic–inorganic composite hydrogel (I‑Hydrogel) was constructed using amino‑functionalized montmorillonite nanosheets (AMMT) combined with lignin (a renewable aromatic polymer), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and polyethyleneimine (PEI). In this design, AMMT provided inorganic adsorption-active sites, while the PVA/PEI network served as a three-dimensional scaffold to immobilize lignin and AMMT, generating a hierarchically porous framework enriched with nitrogen- and oxygen-containing functionalities. The optimized hydrogel exhibited a maximum Pb(II) adsorption capacity of 190.22 mg/g. The adsorption process was better described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models and was thermodynamically favorable and endothermic within the investigated temperature range. Spectroscopic analyses indicated that Pb(II) uptake originated from a synergistic mechanism involving cation exchange at clay-associated sites and coordination interactions with amino, imine, hydroxyl, and other oxygen-containing groups in the hybrid network. This work demonstrates an effective strategy for integrating functional clay nanosheets with renewable bio‑based components into recoverable adsorbent platforms, offering a sustainable materials design approach that aligns with cleaner production principles for heavy‑metal removal from aqueous systems.

Lead (Pb(II)) contamination is common in liquid foods and can result from Pb(II) being present in the raw materials or during handling processes. However, due to the complexity of food matrices, there is limited data available concerning Pb(II) ion removal from food sources. This study focused on fabricating a PVA/PAA/DMTD electrospun nanofibrous membrane (ENFM) to efficiently and selectively remove Pb(II) ions from liquid foods. The PVA/PAA/DMTD ENFM had a maximum adsorption capacity of 138.3 mg/g for Pb(II) ions and demonstrated high selectivity toward the removal of Pb(II) ions. Negative values of the Gibbs free energy (Δ G °) showed that the spontaneous nature of the adsorption process was feasible at different temperatures. Moreover, it successfully removed Pb(II) ions from selected samples of commercially available drinks. Therefore, this adsorbent exhibits significant potential for removing Pb(II) ions from liquid food products, thereby reducing daily dietary exposure to Pb(II).

Contamination of natural water with heavy metals (especially lead ions) is a problem of major concern and thus great demand of effective adsorbents for removal of toxic ions is increasing. Due to the task-specific properties of amino groups, core–shell nanostructures of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 –NH 2 have been extensively investigated as advanced adsorbents; however, most studies on surface modification of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 substances were of environmentally inefficient grafting methods. Herein, we demonstrated that mono-dispersed and spherical Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 –NH 2 nanomaterials can be facilely prepared by co-condensation of TEOS with APTMS employing a green sol–gel process. The as-prepared Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 –NH 2 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) prepared under optimum conditions possessing uniform core–shell structure (∼200 nm in diameter), relatively high loading of amino-functionality (∼5.45 wt%), easy recovery by external magnet and effective removal of Pb(II) ( q m = 243.9 mg/g, 25 °C). The adsorption was shown to be effective and a higher temperature was more favorable for the adsorption. The adsorption equilibrium data obeyed the Langmuir model and the kinetic data were well fitted to the pseudo-second-order model. Thermodynamic studies revealed the feasibility and endothermic nature of the system. These results demonstrated that the sol–gel produced Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 –NH 2 , due to its easy synthesis and recovery and eco-friendliness, can be a potential adsorbent for Pb(II) removal.

Carboxylated cellulose nanocrystal-sodium alginate (CCN-Alg) hydrogel beads were easily prepared through a cross-linking method. The structure and properties of the composite beads were characterized by TEM, FTIR, SEM, XPS, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and zeta potential measurement. A high ratio of 76% of the Pb(II) ion was adsorbed within the first 2 h, and the adsorption equilibrium was nearly reached after 3 h. The experimental isotherm could be fitted by the Langmuir model, yielding an extreme adsorption capacity of 338.98 mg g −1 . The adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and thermodynamic analyses confirmed that the adsorption is a spontaneous and endothermic process. Regeneration tests with acid treatment indicated that the CCN-Alg beads performed well in repeated Pb(II) adsorptions, as they could maintain an adsorption capacity of 223.2 mg g −1 after five repeated cycles. These results indicate that these CCN-Alg beads are a potentially effective and sustainable adsorbent for application in wastewater treatment.

Smithsonite is a readily dissolvable carbonate mineral that is naturally hydrophilic, making recovery of this ore by flotation difficult. The flotation results showed that conditioning with only sodium sulfide (Na 2 S) did not successfully allow the smithsonite samples to float, whereas treatment with a combination of S(II), Pb(II) and xanthate (with Na 2 S as the sulfurizing reagent, lead ions (Pb(II)) as the activator, and xanthate as the collector) improved the flotation of smithsonite, achieving a mass recovery of 95.8%. A combination of analytical techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), in conjunction with depth profiling , was used to investigate the chemical nature of the sulfur and lead species on the smithsonite surface. For S(II)-conditioned smithsonite, a layer of ZnS formed on the smithsonite (ZnCO 3 ) substrates; this newly formed ZnS coating was amorphous or poorly crystallized. For smithsonite samples conditioned with S(II) and Pb(II), the microstructures and the phase constituents, obtained by AFM and XRD analyses, confirmed the formation of the PbS species with a cubic galena structure on the surface. XPS depth profiling showed that the PbS layer was 18-nm thick, which corresponds to 30 PbS molecular layers . This study presents direct evidence that the coating of the activation product, PbS, on the smithsonite surface was similar to a relatively thick galena layer, which led to successful flotation.

Most environmental contaminants exist as a complex mixture of both metallic and organic pollutants and it is thus often a major challenge to remove both components simultaneously. In this paper, due to its low cost and environmentally friendliness, iron nanoparticles (Fe NPs) were successfully prepared using a one-step green synthesis for the simultaneous in-situ remediation of mixed contaminants. Specifically Fe NPs were used for the simultaneous removal of Pb(II) and rifampicin. The removal efficiency for Pb(II) and rifampicin were 100% and 91.6%, respectively. To better understand the mechanism of mixed contaminant removal by Fe NPs various characterization methods and the major conditions impacting removal efficiency were examined. It was concluded that (1) polyphenols and caffeine, both ubiquitous in green tea extracts, acted as both reducing and capping agents during the preparation of Fe NPs, reducing the agglomeration of Fe NPs and increasing their stability and reactivity; (2) the removal mechanism of contaminants involved Pb(II) being adsorbed onto the surface of Fe NPs due to the innate strong adsorption of metal ions onto iron oxides , while rifampicin and Pb(II) both interacted positively with the functional groups on the surface of Fe NPs. Overall, this study demonstrated that green synthesis Fe NPs had potential for use as inexpensive and efficient adsorbent for the simultaneous removal of both Pb(II) and rifampicin from wastewater.

Nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon (NMC) derived from a single small-molecule protic salt (p-phenylenediamine bisulfate) is used for sensing toxic heavy metal ions. Using Nafion, bismuth and NMC to anchor the glassy carbon electrode surface, the fabricate electrode shows high sensitivity for detecting Cd(II) and Pb(II). The limits of detection (S/N = 3) are estimated to be 0.3 μg L−1 for Cd(II) and 0.4 μg L−1 for Pb(II), respectively, which are 10 and 25 times lower than the maximum acceptable content for drinking water recommended by the WHO. Furthermore, the sensor is successfully used to analyze Cd(II) and Pb(II) in tap-water with high anti-interference capability and good recovery.

The authors report on a one-pot approach for synthesizing highly fluorescent protamine-stabilized gold nanoclusters. These are shown to be a viable nanoprobe for selective and sensitive fluorometric determination of lead(II) via quenching of fluorescence via Pb(II)-Au(I) interaction. Under optimized conditions, fluorescence measured at excitation/emission peaks of 300/599 nm drops in the 80 nM–15 μM lead(II) concentration range. The detection limit is 24 nM, and relative standard deviations (for n = 11) at concentrations of 0.10, 4.0 and 15 μM are 1.6, 2.5 and 1.9%, respectively. The relative recoveries of added lead(II) in the water samples ranged from 97.9 ± 2.29% to 101.2 ± 1.83%.
Lead(II) ions are found to be able to selectively and sensitively quench the fluorescence of the protamine-gold nanoclusters (PRT-AuNCs). Thereby, an inexpensive, selective and sensitive lead(II) assay was established.

In this work, Fe 3 O 4 @Zr(OH) x yolk–shell nanospheres (YSNs) were synthesized via a two-step process and further examined as adsorbents for the removal of Pb(II). To understand the hollow structure on the adsorption properties of Pb(II), another adsorbent without hollow cavities, i.e., Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @Zr(OH) x core–shell nanospheres (CSNs), was also prepared for comparison. The adsorption results showed that Fe 3 O 4 @Zr(OH) x YSNs exhibited 41.6% higher Pb(II) adsorption capacity as compared to that of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @Zr(OH) x CSNs. The isotherm was well fitted to Langmuir adsorption model with q max value of 310.8 mg/g after normalized by the weight of Zr in Fe 3 O 4 @Zr(OH) x YSNs. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) mapping results revealed that the existence of cavities between Fe 3 O 4 cores and Zr(OH) x shells is responsible for the improved adsorption performance. XPS analysis indicated the surface hydroxyl groups played a key role in the Pb(II) adsorption. The removal efficiency of Pb(II) was maintained above 90% in five consecutive adsorption–desorption cycles.

In this study, SiO 2 -EDTA was prepared by silanization reaction between N-(trimethoxysilylpropyl) ethylenediamine triacetic acid, trisodium salt (EDTA-silane) and hydroxyl groups for enhanced removal of Pb(II), Pb(II)-Cit (the clathrate generated by Pb(II) and trisodium citrate dehydrate(Cit)) and Pb(II)-EDTA(20%) from aqueous solutions. SiO 2 -EDTA composites were characterized using SEM, TEM, EDX-mapping, FTIR, XPS and TGA analyses. The influence of solution pH, initial concentration, contact time and co-existing interferents were also studied. Results demonstrated that the composite successfully adsorbed 147.52, 107.65 and 124.18 mg g −1 of Pb(II), Pb(II)-Cit, and Pb(II)-EDTA (20%), respectively with the initial Pb(II) concentration of 100 mg L −1 . Kinetics study revealed that the adsorption rate was significantly high at the beginning and then reached to equilibrium within 1.0 h. Moreover, Pb(II) adsorption capacities were found to considerably affected by co-existing cations and not inhibited by natural organic matter (NOM). Characterization analyses confirmed that EDTA was successfully assembled on SiO 2 which had been used as a supporting matrix due to its huge specific surface area. Findings from this study suggested that the present composite could be considered as a promising adsorbent for large scale treatment of wastewater containing elevated Pb(II) concentration.
