An acid modified approach to enhance the adsorption capacity of low-rank coal (lignite) is proposed to reduce the risk of heavy metal ions within the wastewater. Adsorption kinetics, adsorption thermodynamics, adsorption coefficient and density functional theory DFT calculations were studied in this paper, respectively. The results indicate that the adsorption capacity of lignite was enlarged after HNO 3 modification, and pseudo-second order kinetics model and Langmuir isothermal adsorption model can be used to describe the adsorption process. The surface chemical properties of lignite play a dominant role rather than the specific surface area and total pore volume in the Pb(II) cation adsorption process, and it is suggested that the adsorption of Pb(II) cation by raw lignite (RL) and modified lignite (ML) is mainly completed by chemical adsorption. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) characterization showed that the surface oxygen functional groups of lignite increased after modification. The results of interaction energies between the model molecule and Pb(II) cation show that Pb(II) cation and -C-O-C are most easily combined, followed by -COOH, and -C = O is the weakest. The adsorption mechanisms of raw and modified lignite and Pb(II) cation were summarized. The original hemidirected structure of Pb(II) cation is broken, and a polar covalent bond is formed. A large number of flocculent precipitates were generated rapidly with the chelating reaction between humic acid molecules and Pb(II) cation. The adsorption of Pb(II) cation by lignite was a chemical adsorption process.

Monolithic adsorbents have become promising materials for removing contaminants in wastewater. By combining the macrostructural advantage of monolithic materials with their excellent surface function, these materials offer significant potential for practical applications. This study proposes an efficient and economical preparation method for developing high-performance chitosan-based monolithic adsorbent for Pb 2+ removal. In brief, melamine foam (MF) was pre-modified with polydopamine (PDA), and chitosan (CS) was uniformly loaded onto the modified foam via a “crosslinking-surface deposition” process. The resulting monolithic adsorbent (CS/PDA@MF) exhibited a high adsorption capacity for Pb 2+ (174 mg g −1 ) and achieved equilibrium adsorption time (<120 min) in batch adsorption experiments. The material demonstrated excellent elastic properties, allowing for easy manual collection using tweezers. Six cycles of adsorption/desorption experiments proved satisfying reusability. Additionally, a fixed-bed column was prepared using CS/PDA@MF to investigate the continuous flow adsorption behavior, showing excellent potential for practical applications. The adsorption mechanism was explored by ATR FT-IR and XPS characterization. This study provides a technical foundation for research into high-performance CS-based monolithic adsorbents, which are expected to be promising candidates for environmental remediation.

Wastewater containing heavy metals and organic dye pollutants discharged into receiving waters poses a serious environmental concern. Herein, a novel EDTA-chitosan/alginate porous composite bead adsorbent (EC–AB) was reported for the simultaneous removal of lead (Pb(II)) and methyl blue (MB) complexes from wastewater. Characterization results showed that EC–AB contained plenty of oxygen/nitrogen functional groups. The effect of CaCO3 addition, pH of the initial solution, contact time, initial pollutant concentration, and ionic strength on EC–AB pollutant removal performance and the adsorption mechanism were systematically analyzed. These findings indicated that EC–AB exhibited high removal efficiency over a wide pH range and at high ionic strength. The maximum adsorption capacities of EC–AB for Pb(II) and MB were 504.11 mg g−1 and 660.76 mg g−1, respectively, at 298 K. Adsorption kinetics and isotherm studies indicated that the adsorption well fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm. A possible adsorption mechanism involving electrostatic attraction, chelation, ion exchange, H-bonding and synergistic effects was proposed. Moreover, EC–AB showed superior stability and reusability, with removal efficiencies of 76.64% for Pb(II) and 80.29% for MB after five continuous adsorption–desorption cycles for treating complex wastewater. In summary, this work provides a beneficial strategy for designing high-performance adsorbents for the treatment of wastewater.

Polypyrrole-sepiolite ( PPy/SPL ) nanofibers were prepared by in situ chemical oxidation polymerization in the presence of sepiolite. A PPy/SPL composite modified glassy carbon electrode ( PPy/SPL/GCE ) was prepared and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and electrochemical methods. Differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry for the simultaneous determination of trace Pb(II) and Cd(II) was carried out at the PPy/SPL/GCE. Operational parameters such as the deposition potential and time, the amount of modified suspension, and the pH values were optimized for the purpose of determination of trace metal ions in 0.10 M acetate buffer solution. Under the optimal conditions, the stripping peak currents showed good linear relationships with Pb(II) and Cd(II) at concentration ranges of 5.0 × 10 –9 ‒1.2 × 10 –6 M and 5.0 × 10 –9 ‒1.2 × 10 –7 M, and the detection limits were 1.2 and 1.5 nM, respectively. The proposed method is applicable to the simultaneous determination of trace Pb(II) and Cd(II) in real water samples with the relative standard deviations of less than 4.4% and the recovery rates of 97.9‒102.2%.

Pb(II) removal from water is essential for human health due to their high toxicity and carcinogenicity. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have potential to remove heavy metal ions because of their adjustable structure and tunable pore size. However, the microporous structure limits their removal performance because Pb(II) mainly exists in water as hydrated ion, which is larger than the pore size of MOFs. Defect engineering is promising to form suitable pore to capture Pb(II). Herein, we developed an etched Cu 0.3 Zr 0.7 -MOF-808 MOF by a mixed-metal strategy followed with an etching process. We replaced part of Zr 4+ in the MOF-808 skeleton with Cu 2+ through competition between Zr 4+ /Cu 2+ for coordinating with –COOH on 1,3,5-Benzenetricarboxylic acid (H 3 BTC) to increase its specific surface area. Then H 3 PO 4 and EDTANa 2 ·2H 2 O as etchants were used to break the coordinate bond between Zr 4+ /Cu 2+ and –COOH on H 3 BTC to achieve macroporous structure to inhabit Pb(II). The powder property of MOFs limits their practical applications due to their poor recyclability. We crosslinked the MOF on CMC by coordinating Zr 4+ on the MOF with –COOH on CMC to form aerogel to facilitate its recyclability. The maximum adsorption capacity for Pb(II) was 542.77 mg/g at 45 °C. The adsorption of Pb(II) conformed to the intra-particle diffusion model and the Langmuir model, illustrating that the adsorption process was monolayer adsorption and affected by intra-particle diffusion. The electrostatic attraction and chelation between Pb(II) and –COOH accounted for the effective Pb(II) removal performance. This work provides a novel idea for the removal of heavy metal ions from water.

In this work, an energy-efficient capacitive deionization (EACDI) system with energy-recovery and enhanced adsorption capacity was firstly built by using metallocene-doped MoS 2 /CNT (mFc@MoS 2 /CNT). The structures and morphologies of the porous materials including single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT), MoS 2 /CNT and mFc@MoS 2 /CNT were investigated by transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Raman spectra and N 2 adsorption-desorption tests, and the performance of EACDI system on the removal of Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ were evaluated by electrosorption tests. The results suggest that this EACDI system shows higher adsorption capacity on the removal of heavy metal ions at the concentration level of mg/L, with respect to traditional capacitive deionization (CDI). Moreover, this new method shows good selectivity and high energy effectiveness on the separation of trace Pb 2+ with the adsorption efficiency of 96 % at 10 μg/L level and an energy consumption of 0.98 kJ/m 3 with 24.2 % energy recovery. As a result, this research reveals an advanced electrosorption method to purify the drinking water polluted by trace heavy metals with the advantage of low cost and high energy efficiency.

Green and high-performance biomass-based adsorbents have a good application prospect for the removal of heavy metals. At present, the preparation of chitosan/lignin biomass adsorbents mainly adopts dissolution-drying method, and the obtained adsorbents show relatively poor adsorption performance for heavy metals. To overcome this problem, a novel chitosan/lignin hydrogel (CSL) is prepared by a simple one-pot method through the Mannich reaction. Research findings show that the hydrogels present higher adsorption selectivity for Pb(II) and Cu(II) than other common heavy metals. Among them, the optimal hydrogel CSL1 shows unexpectedly ultrafast adsorption rate for Pb(II) and Cu(II) with equilibrium time of only 1 min and 2 min. Meanwhile, the maximum adsorption capacities of CSL1 for Pb(II) and Cu(II) are 139.86 and 98.71 mg·g −1 , respectively. Compared with the reported adsorption materials related to chitosan or lignin, the CSL1 has the advantages of simple preparation process, considerable adsorption capacity, and short adsorption equilibrium time. Moreover, the adsorption mechanism is investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the results prove that the adsorption mechanism is chemical complexation. This work not only contributes to the advancement of hydrogel-based adsorbents, but also holds significant industrial potential for addressing water pollution issues and promoting sustainable development.

Given the serious health risks posed by Pb(II) contamination in natural waters, significant efforts have focused on developing electrochemical sensors for its detection, centering on the design of sensitive, stable, and low-cost electrode materials. In this work, a lead ion-imprinted polymer (MWCNTs@SiO 2 @IIP) was synthesized via a surface ion-imprinting technique, employing vinyl trimethoxysilane-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as the substrate. A comprehensive characterization of MWCNTs@SiO 2 @IIP was carried out by means of a variety of advanced characterization technologies. An electrochemical sensor, designated as MWCNTs@SiO 2 @IIP/CPE, was fabricated by incorporating the polymer into a carbon paste electrode. Key parameters affecting the inspection of Pb 2+ , including the amount of imprinted polymer, electrolyte pH, deposition potential, and deposition time, were systematically investigated. The sensor exhibited a second-order linear response across two concentration ranges: 2–30 μg·L −1 and 30–240 μg·L −1 , with a calculated detection limit of 0.61 μg·L −1 . Furthermore, the imprinted sensor demonstrated high repeatability, excellent stability, and remarkable selectivity. The constructed electrochemical sensor thus presents an advanced strategy for the expedient and selective detection of lead ions in aqueous conditions.

In this work, amino-functionalized Santa Barbara Amorphous-15/calcium alginate (ASBA-15@CA) microspheres were fabricated and characterized by FTIR, SEM, XRD, TGA , and XPS analyses. The Pb(II) adsorption properties of the ASBA-15@CA microspheres were studied in terms of the effects of the adsorption time, adsorbent dose, solution pH, temperature, and initial concentration of Pb(II) on the adsorption capacity. At pH 6 and 298 K, the adsorption reached equilibrium after 100 min and the sample exhibited a good adsorption effect, affording a maximum adsorption capacity of 1029.58 mg/g and a removal rate as high as 98.99%. The adsorption process conformed to the Langmuir model ( R 2 = 0.9937) and followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics model ( R 2 = 0.9995). Regeneration experiments showed that the removal rate of the sample reached 75% even after 6 cycles. Overall, this study provides new insights into the development of novel, highly efficient, and repeatable degradation materials for the removal of Pb(II).

This study describes the preparation of an aerogel adsorbent based on nanofibrillated cellulose(NFC) and polyethyleneimine(PEI) via electrostatic combination without chemical crosslinking. Purely physical crosslinking between NFC and PEI was confirmed by attenuated total refraction-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The NFC/PEI hybrid aerogels exhibited good structural stability and shape recovery in water. Absorption experiment shows that the hybrid aerogels are excellent adsorbents for the removal of heavy metal ions owing to the highly porous structure and the existence of plenty of amine groups. Thermodynamic and kinetic study showed pseudo-second-order equation and Langmuir model ( R 2 > 0.999) as the best fit. The maximum adsorption capacity of Cu(II) and Pb(II) according to Langmuir model was 175.44 mg/g and 357.44 mg/g, respectively. Besides, the Cu(II) or Pb(II) loaded NFC/PEI aerogel could be easily regenerated by EDTA and retain the adsorption capacity after repeatedly using. This environmentally friendly hybrid aerogels with high-performance are promising candidates for sewage disposal and metal pollution treatment.

Novel ternary nanohybrids, consisting of tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA), graphene oxide (GO) and manganese ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (TEPA-GO/MnFe 2 O 4 ), were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method and utilized to remove Pb(II) from aqueous solution effectively. The adsorbents were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR, zeta potential analysis, magnetization hysteresis loop, BET and XPS. These nanoparticles exhibited superparamagnetic behavior as well as high removal efficiency for Pb(II). Moreover, numerous amino groups of the functionalized pendant TEPA on GO coupled with the porous structure of TEPA-GO/MnFe 2 O 4 contribute to high Pb(II) adsorption capacity. The maximum Pb(II) adsorption capacity of TEPA-GO/MnFe 2 O 4 was determined to be 263.2 mg/g at the optimized solution pH of 5.5, much higher than that of GO/MnFe 2 O 4 (133.3 mg/g) and GO (196.1 mg/g). The kinetics and isotherm data fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm model, respectively. Thermodynamic studies revealed that the Pb(II) adsorption of TEPA-GO/MnFe 2 O 4 was a endothermic and spontaneous process. The experimental results corroborated that TEPA-GO/MnFe 2 O 4 can be efficaciously reused after washed with HCl, indicative of its potential applications in environmental cleanup.

We report an efficient, reusable, and selective 6-aminothiouracil (ATA)-modified Zr(IV)-based adsorbent (defined as UiO-66-ATA(Zr)) for lead ion removal in water. The adsorption equilibrium time and the maximum sorption capacity of UiO-66-ATA(Zr) for Pb(II) are, respectively, 120 min and 386.98 mg/g at pH 4 and 298 K. The Pb(II) removal rate reaches 96% at 60 min and exceeds 99% at the equilibrium state in the pH range of 2.0–5.8. Hill and pseudo-second-order models can well describe the sorption process. Pb(II) adsorbing onto UiO-66-ATA(Zr) is an irreversible, favorable chemisorption process with multimolecule participation and film diffusion control. The calculations of density functional theory, the experimental results, and the characterization analyses suggest that the binding mechanisms are the chelation and ion-exchange/electrostatic interactions between hydroxyl/amino/sulfhydryl groups of UiO-66-ATA(Zr) and Pb(II). Besides, UiO-66-ATA(Zr) has a better affinity to Pb(II) than the coexisting ions in water and an excellent repeatability at eight cycles of adsorption. Moreover, the thermodynamic study shows that UiO-66-ATA(Zr) adsorbing Pb(II) is an endothermic reaction. Thus, UiO-66-ATA(Zr) is a prospective sorbent for Pb(II) removal under the initiative of environmental protection and water purification, and this work may also provide an idea for industrial catalysis.
