To enhance the sorption efficacy of attapulgite for heavy metals, mercapto-functionalized attapulgite (ATP-SH) was synthesized with mercaptan functional groups. When the mass-to-volume ratio of calcined attapulgite (ATP-C) to 3-Mercapropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) was 1 g:0.5 mL (ATP-SH-0.5) and the pH was set to 8, a strong adsorption capacity for Cd (II) and Pb (II) was demonstrated. This indicates excellent adsorption performance for these heavy metals. ATP-SH-0.5 exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 43.81 mg/g and 274.83 mg/g for Cd (II) and Pb (II), respectively, in a single ion system. In a binary ion system, the maximum adsorption capacity was 31.86 mg/L and 254.45 mg/L for Cd (II) and Pb (II), respectively. Various characterizations and experiments showed that the adsorption of Cd (II) and Pb (II) onto ATP-SH-0.5 involves ion exchange reactions involving hydroxyl and thiol functional group complexation reactions. This adsorption process follows a single-molecule layer adsorption mechanism. XPS results indicate that hydroxyl and grafted thiol functional groups on the surface of mercapto-functionalized attapulgite participated in surface complexation reactions with Cd (II) and Pb (II), resulting in the formation of Cd-S and Pb-S species. Overall, this study provides a promising mercapto-functionalized modification material for the remediation of polluted water and soil.Keywords:attapulgite;thiol functional group;heavy metal;adsorption mechanism;XPS qualitative analyses

In this research work, biochar-zirconium phosphate (BC-Zr-P) nanocomposites were utilized for the adsorption of Pb (II) in sewage through functionalization of zirconium and phosphate on the surface of biochar. A series of characterization analyses were conducted on BC-Zr-P nanocomposites to comprehend their morphology and functional groups. Furthermore, the adsorption performance of BC-Zr-P towards Pb (II) in aqueous solution was investigated and four crucial parameters including concentration, pH, adsorption time and temperature were optimized. The experimental results demonstrate that BC-Zr-P exhibits a high adsorption capacity for lead ions with a value of 82.04 mg g −1 . Comparative analysis indicates that BC-Zr-P possesses excellent potential as an effective sorbent for lead removal. The adsorption capacity of the material for Pb (II) is highly pH-dependent, with optimal performance observed at pH 2.5, indicating that ion exchange plays a dominant role in the adsorption process and leading to significant changes in adsorption capacity. Rapid kinetic performance within 2 h suggests chemisorption of Pb (II) by BC-Zr-P. We observed a strong agreement between the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the experimental data, while the adsorption isotherms at different temperatures were well described by the Langmuir model, which outperformed the Freundlich model. These results provide evidence for a monolayer chemisorption mechanism of BC-Zr-P. In addition, the impact of varying temperatures on the adsorption capacity of BC-Zr-P was examined within the range of 278.15–318.15 K, and the thermodynamic behavior of adsorption was analyzed by determining Δ S o and Δ H o through a linear relationship between lnK d and 1/T. The positive value obtained for Δ H o suggests that the process of adsorption is endothermic. BC-Zr-P had excellent selective adsorption capacity for Pb (II) ions in various metal ion solutions and had practical application value for the adsorption of Pb (II) ions in sewage.

The adsorption removal of lead (Pb) ions has become a crucial area of research due to the potential health hazards associated with Pb contamination. Developing cost-effective adsorbents for the removal of Pb(II) ions is significantly important. Hence, a novel fluorescent starch-based hydrogel (FSH) using starch (ST), cellulose nanofibrils (CN), and carbon dots (CD) was fabricated for simultaneous adsorption and detection of Pb(II). A comprehensive characterization of FSH, including its morphological features, chemical composition , and fluorescence characteristics, was conducted. Notably, FSH exhibited a maximum theoretical adsorption capacity of 265.9 mg/g, which was 13.0 times higher than that of pure ST. Moreover, FSH was employed as a fluorescent sensor for Pb(II) determination, achieving a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.06 μg/L. An analysis was further performed to investigate the adsorption and detection mechanisms of Pb(II) utilizing FSH. This study provides valuable insights into the production of a novel cost-effective ST-based adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II) ions.

Composites of MOFs and aerogels (MOFACs), as a new class of nanostructured materials , attract increasing attention due to their favorable adsorption properties. Herein, UiO-66-NH 2 -CS aerogel monolith (UNCAM) was synthesized by covalent crosslinking with hierarchical structure, exhibiting effective and stable adsorption of Pb(II) ions. The aerogel monolith containing 50% MOF particles possesses a ultra-low density of 15.8 mg·cm −3 , which is mainly attributed to the highly porous structure. Meantime, UNCAM can be described more suitable by the pseudo-second-order model and shows a higher mass transfer rate. The highest Pb(II) adsorption capacity of aerogel monolith is up to 102.03 mg·g −1 (1.612 × 10 6 mg·m −3 ), which is comparable to literature reports. The adsorption of Pb(II) by UNCAM is an endothermic and spontaneous process and consistent with the Langmuir model, indicating that the adsorption process belongs to monolayer adsorption and chemisorption . Furthermore, the adsorption mechanisms of coordination interaction between N and Pb (II) were confirmed, and the O also played a synergistic role in adsorption on a certain degree. Lastly, The UNCAM retained 90.12% adsorption ability after three cycles. This strategy may provide an effective and versatile pathway to convert the bulk MOF particles into a shapeable form and sequentially branch out their applications in pollutant treatment fields.

The sensitive detection and efficient removal of heavy metal ions with high toxicity and mobility are of great importance for the environmental monitoring and control. Here, a novel SnS-decorated Bi 2 O 3 nanosheets heterostructure was synthesized via a facile hydro/solvothermal strategy. The as-prepared SnS-Bi 2 O 3 nanocomposites presented impressive merits of the high surface area, mesoporous channels and fast electron transfer for the electrochemical reactions . And the synergistic interaction between SnS and Bi 2 O 3 significantly improved the “deposition-stripping” process involving electron transfer, mass diffusion and phase transition. With the unique characteristics, the SnS-Bi 2 O 3 nanocomposites exhibited improved sensitivity and robust stability on the electrochemical detection of Cd(II) and Pb(II) with low LODs of 1.50 nM and 1.40 nM, respectively, and were successfully applied on the detection of Cd(II) and Pb(II) in tap water and lake water samples. Furthermore, the electrochemical removal performance towards Cd(II) and Pb(II) was achieved as well. These SnS-Bi 2 O 3 nanocomposites could serve as an efficient platform on the detection and removal of heavy metal ions in environmental electrochemistry .

Chrysotile nanotubes (ChNTs) synthesized under hydrothermal conditions were functionalized by surface grafting in toluene with 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS). The mercapto functionalized ChNTs (ChNTs-SH) were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and N 2 adsorption–desorption. The adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) on ChNTs-SH was investigated systematically by evaluating the effects of contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial pH and temperature. Initial pH could play an important role on the adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) onto ChNTs-SH. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms of Pb(II) and Cd(II) on ChNTs-SH indicated that the kinetic data of adsorption reactions were well described by the pseudo-second-order model (R 2 = 0.9960 and 0.9970, respectively) and the adsorption isotherms were fitted well by the Langmuir model ( q m Pb(II) = 83.96 mg/g, q m Cd(II) = 39.23 mg/g at 298 ± 1 K). The thermodynamic parameters (Δ G , Δ H and Δ S ) indicated that the adsorption process of Pb(II) and Cd(II) on ChNTs-SH was spontaneous and endothermic. ChNTs-SH could obviously improve the adsorption capacity for Pb(II) by 225.4% and for Cd(II) by 123.5% as compared with ChNTs. Overall, ChNTs-SH could provide a potential remedy for heavy metal contamination in wastewater.

A novel nanocomposite based on black wattle (BW) tannin and nanocellulose was prepared and applied in heavy metal ions adsorptive removal from aqueous solutions. Firstly, nanocrystalline cellulose was oxidized by sodium periodate to get dialdehyde nanocellulose (DANC). BW tannin was then covalently immobilized onto DANC, which was used as both the matrix and crosslinker, to obtain tannin-nanocellulose (TNCC) composite. The resulting nanocomposite was characterized using FTIR, AFM, and TG. The successful immobilization was confirmed by the chromogenic reaction between FeCl 3 and TNCC and FT-IR analysis. AFM images revealed that TNCC was ellipsoidal particles with lengths ranging from 100–400 nm. Zeta potential measurement showed that TNCC was negative charged at a pH range from 1–12. Compared to the original tannin, the thermal stability of TNCC was slightly increased by the addition of nanocellulose. TNCC demonstrated the maximum adsorption efficiency at pH 2 for Cr(VI) and pH 6 for Cu(II) and Pb(II), respectively. The adsorption for these three metal ions followed pseudo second-order kinetics, indicating the chemisorption nature. The adsorption isotherms all fitted well with the Sips model, and the calculated maximum adsorption capacities were 51.846 mg g −1 , 53.371 mg g −1 and 104.592 mg g −1 for Cu(II), Pb(II) and Cr (VI), respectively.

Heavy metal ions such as Cu 2+ and Pb 2+ impose a significant risk to the environment and human health due to their high toxicity and non-degradable characteristics. Herein, Al(OH) 3 -polyacrylamide chemically modified with dithiocarbamates (Al-PAM-DTCs) was synthesized using formaldehyde, diethylenetriamine, carbon disulfide, and sodium hydroxide for rapid and efficient removal of Cu 2+ and Pb 2+ . The synthesized adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis, and transmission electron microscope measurements. Al-PAM-DTCs showed rapid removal of Cu 2+ (<30 min) and Pb 2+ (<15 min) with high adsorption capacities of 416.959 mg/g and 892.505 mg/g for Cu 2+ and Pb 2+ respectively. Al-PAM-DTCs also had high capacities in removing suspended solids and metal ions simultaneously in turbid bauxite suspensions. FTIR, thermodynamic study, and elemental mapping were used to determine the adsorption mechanism. The rapid, convenient, and effective adsorption of Cu 2+ and Pb 2+ indicated that Al-PAM-DTCs has great potential for practical applications in purification of other heavy metal ions from aquatic systems. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this study, sulfonated expanded graphite (SEG) was prepared through a mechanochemical method between EG, N,N-dimethylformamide, and a sulphur trioxide pyridine complex. XRD, XPS, FT-IR, BET, SEM-EDS, and zeta potentials were used to assess the characterizations of SEG. Thereafter, the effects of pH, adsorbent dosage, initial concentration, temperature, and contact time on adsorption performances were investigated. Results demonstrated that SEG shows superior adsorption properties to remove Pb(II) with high efficiency, and the removal capacity reached 325.12 mg g−1. The Langmuir model fit the equilibrium data better than either the Freundlich model or the Temkin model. Based on kinetic experiments, the adsorption of Pb(II) with SEG was perfectly described by a pseudo-second order kinetics model. According to thermodynamic parameters, the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. Adsorption–desorption results showed a superior regeneration and cyclic performance of SEG as well. In addition, results of the adsorption mechanism indicated that the sulfonated functional groups played a significant role during the adsorption process.

Lignin grafted N, N′-methylene-bisacrylamide (LM) was copolymerized with acrylic acid (AA) to fabricate lignin based poly (acrylic acid) (LBPAA) nanocomposites, and organo-montmorillonite (OrgMMT) was uniformly dispersed in LBPAA by ultrasonic method. The water absorbency in KCl solution was 302.9 g/g for LBPAA/OrgMMT (3 wt% OrgMMT, 43.65 wt% LM, and 53.35 wt% poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)), higher than PAA/OrgMMT (104.5736 g/g), and PAA (131.8 g/g). The Pb 2+ adsorption for LBPAA/OrgMMT was demonstrated to be pH-dependent and followed Freundlich multilayer adsorption , with the removal following a pseudo-second-order kinetic model . The Pb 2+ absorption capacity of LBPAA (PAA 48.50/48.50 LM)/OrgMMT (3 wt%) was 1.0803 mmol·g −1 , the highest among the composites. When the mole ratio of Na + and Pb 2+ was less than 0.21, the Pb 2+ adsorption capacity of LBPAA/OrgMMT decreased slightly. The negative ΔG 0 indicated that the Pb 2+ adsorption process for composite hydrogel and PAA was spontaneous. XPS analysis data indicated that Pb 2+ ions formed Pb-O bonds by hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups for efficient lead ion adsorption. This study demonstrates that LBPAA/OrgMMT can be used as a water retention agent with salt tolerance and as an adsorbent for removing Pb 2+ ions from industrial waste water .

A novel amino-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs @SiO 2 -NH 2 ) was prepared via co-condensation using etraethyl orthosilicate and 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane for effective removal of Pb(II) from water. The Pb (II) adsorption efficiencies of MWCNTs and MWCNTs@SiO 2 -NH 2 were compared and the change of morphology features was assessed in batch adsorption experiments. The characterization analysis like XRD, FITR and XPS revealed that amino groups were successfully grafted on the MWCNTs. Adsorption results demonstrated that the best TEOS/APTMS loading ratio was about 10:3 based on their solution volume ratio. Compared to the poor Pb(II) adsorption capacity of pristine MWCNTs, the maximum adsorption capacity of MWCNTs@SiO 2 -NH 2 was greatly improved to 147 mg/g after amination treatment. Pb(II) adsorption onto MWCNTs@SiO 2 -NH 2 was strongly pH-dependent and the optimal aqueous pH was about 5. Moreover, the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and Langmuir isotherm model could well describe the Pb(II) adsorption process by MWCNTs@SiO 2 -NH 2 . Thermodynamics analysis illustrated that the Pb(II) adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic. FTIR and XPS analysis of MWCNTs@SiO 2 -NH 2 after adsorption demonstrated the complexation between amino groups and Pb(II) played a vital role in the adsorption mechanism. Findings from the present study suggested that successful Pb(II) removal could be achieved using such novel adsorbent composite with optimized process.

A common concern in the approval of nanotechnology for water treatment is whether there are advantages of these nanomaterials over conventional water treatment reagents. In this work, nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) is compared with lime (Ca(OH) 2 ), the most widely used heavy metal precipitant, for Pb(II) and Zn(II) removal, in laboratory and field experiments. Water chemistry, treatment efficiencies and reaction products of the two reagents are compared and the study shows that the moderate solution pH of nZVI and its seed effect play vital roles in producing high-quality effluents. The results are then verified in a field continuous-flow experiment using tons of lime and kilos of nZVI. The results show that sub-ppm levels (∼0.1 mg/L) of Pb(II) and Zn(II) could not be achieved via lime precipitation alone, due to the solubility limits of metal hydroxides and their re-dissolution caused by the strong alkalinity of lime. In comparison, stable and lower levels of Pb(II) and Zn(II) were easily attained using nZVI, due to its multifunctional properties and good tolerance for influent fluctuation enabled by its inherent pH-stabilizing nature. SEM characterizations, particle size analyses and quiescent settling experiments show the ability of nZVI to generate large and consolidated solids that are amenable to gravitational separation. The study shows several key advantages of nZVI over lime technology in Pb(II) and Zn(II) removal. As lime is widely used for heavy metal removal, this work provides an effective advanced treatment process to supplement lime-based treatment methods.
