A novel Fe/Ca-modified biochar (BC) derived from corn stalk was prepared in this study for the simultaneous adsorption and immobilization of arsenic, cadmium and lead in aqueous solution and soil, respectively. The adsorption experiment in aqueous solution indicated that 1Ca-Fe@BC exhibited excellent removal efficiency (R, %) towards arsenic (46.3%), cadmium (76.3%) and lead (93.6%). The presence of cadmium and lead could enhance the adsorption efficiency of arsenic by facilitating the formation of ternary complexes with it. Moreover, both cooperative and competitive effects occurred between cadmium and lead adsorption. When the distribution coefficient of cadmium and lead was equimolar, cooperative adsorption prevailed. However, when the distribution coefficient deviated from this balance, competitive adsorption dominated with a higher affinity for lead. The soil culture experiment demonstrated that the utilization of 1Ca-Fe@BC could enhance the stability of arsenic, cadmium and lead in soil by enhancing soil cation exchange capacity and pH while reducing dissolved organic carbon. The competitive and cooperative effects of arsenic, cadmium and lead in soil were consistent with those found in aqueous solution. The results showed that 1Ca-Fe@BC exhibited an excellent remediation efficiency for both arsenic, cadmium and lead-contaminated aqueous solution and soil.

The threat of Pb(II) and Cd(II) in water demands advanced adsorbents. While metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have demonstrated great potential for heavy metal ions adsorption, their microporous nature and powdery form limit practicality. Thus, we engineered a sodium alginate composite aerogel bead loaded with salicylic acid-modified defective NH 2 -MIL-125, for the efficient removal of Pb(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solutions. By adjusting the solvent volume ratio to regulate the crystal morphology and introducing salicylic acid as a fragmented ligand to compete with NH 2 -BDC to coordinate with Ti-oxo clusters, a defective Ti-MOFs with mesoporous structure (pore size increased from 2.30 to 8.93 nm) and abundant active sites was successfully developed. Further integration with sodium alginate formed millimeter-scale aerogel beads, improving the reusability and enhancing adsorption performance: the maximum adsorption capacities of 428.01 mg g −1 for Pb(II) and 179.67 mg g −1 for Cd(II), respectively. The adsorption process, described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Sips isotherm models, is driven by multilayer chemical adsorption via electrostatic attraction, ion exchange and coordination reactions with −COOH, −NH 2 and −OH groups. The beads also exhibit excellent selectivity and reusability, maintaining high efficiency of ∼97 % for Pb(II) over 5 cycles. This work provides a promising strategy for designing high-performance and recyclable adsorbents for adsorbing heavy metal ions from water.

It is essential to investigate the role of the surface oxygen content of graphene oxide (GO) in transport processes. In this study, GO was prepared using flake graphite with different radiation doses. The effects of the flow rate and ionic strength (IS) on the migration and co-transport of GO and Pb(II) ions were investigated via laboratory packed-column experiments. The experimental results showed that the mobility of GO in saturated porous media decreased with increasing flow rate. Further, the mobility of GO with a radiation dose of 18 kGy was lower than that of GOs with other radiation doses for an IS below 0.01 M. Regarding the co-transport of irradiated GO and Pb(II) in porous media, the greater the radiation dose, the stronger was the ability of GO to promote Pb(II) transport. The surface oxygen content promoted the ability of GO to remove Pb(II). However, radiation doses exceeding a certain range inhibited the release of Pb(II). The transport of GO in saturated porous media was successfully simulated with the advection–dispersion–reaction (ADR) equation. This study is expected to provide a new perspective on the potential risks of GO due to surface changes during its transport in the environment.

In this work, lead chloride (PbCl 2 ) and lead acetate trihydrate (Pb(Ac) 2 ·3H 2 O) mixed precursors are introduced to prepare perovskite films. PbCl 2 has been reported to enhance crystallinity but long annealing time is required. Pb(Ac) 2 ·3H 2 O is used because it is cheap and easy to get, and lead acetate offers fast crystallization process , meanwhile the trihydrate might improve the film stability. With an optimal blending ratio of the two precursors (1:1 mol ratio), compact and full-coverage perovskite film with large grain sizes (>1 µm) are obtained, and the speed of perovskite film formation is greatly accelerated. Moreover, the film prepared in a 1:1 mol ratio of the two precursors exhibits good moisture liability for several days under around 70% RH environment. As a result, the PbCl 2 : Pb(Ac) 2 ·3H 2 O (1:1) results in the highest efficiency of 14.77%. The findings in this work provide a facile way to improve the perovskite film quality and stability.

Hydrazinolyzed cellulose-graft-polymethyl acrylate (Cell-g-PMA-HZ), an efficient adsorbent for removal of Cd(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solution, has been prepared by ceric salt-initiated graft polymerization of methyl acrylate from microcrystalline cellulose surface and subsequent hydrazinolysis. The influences of initial pH, contact time, and temperature on adsorption capacity of Cell-g-PMA-HZ as well as adsorption equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic properties were examined in detail. As for Cd(II) adsorption, kinetic adsorption can be explained by pseudo-second-order, while adsorption isotherm fits well with Langmuir isotherm model, from which maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity can be derived as 235.85 mg g −1 at 28 °C. Further thermodynamic investigation indicated that adsorption of Cd(II) by adsorbent Cell-g-PMA-HZ is endothermic and spontaneous under studied conditions. On the other hand, isotherm of Pb(II) adsorption fits well with Freundlich isotherm model and is more likely to be a physical-adsorption-dominated process. Consecutive adsorption–desorption experiments showed that Cell-g-PMA-HZ is reusable with satisfactory adsorption capacity.

The use of three-dimensional (3D) electrochemical oxidation has become a popular method for treating water pollutants. In this study, the degradation of real wastewater discharged by the chemical industry was conducted using Pb loaded biochar (Pb/BC) as a particle electrode. The properties of Pb/BC were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller. The impact of various factors, including Pb loading, pH, dosage of Pb/BC, and working voltage, on chemical oxygen demand (COD) elimination were examined, and the best results were obtained on pH 7 and working voltage of 14 V, with 25 g/L Pb/BC (8% Pb loaded on BC) added in 3D reaction system. The degradation process was well fitted with the first-order kinetic. COD removal efficiency was 67.60% after 90 min reaction with only 6.21 kW·h/kg COD of energy consumption. The presence of tert-butanol had a significant impact on decreasing the efficiency of COD removal, suggesting that the hydroxyl radicals produced during the reaction were the primary means of degrading COD, rather than direct electro-oxidation. Toxic results indicated that the treated wastewater was less toxic than the original water. The use of Pb/BC may have practical applications in the treatment of actual chemical wastewater.

Plastic scintillators inherently suffer from the limitation of low gamma-ray counting efficiency due to their low atomic number (Z). To address this, this study explored the incorporation of lead (II) nitrate (Pb(NO 3 ) 2 ), a high-Z material, into a photocurable resin. The Pb(NO 3 ) 2 -loaded plastic scintillators were fabricated using Digital Light Processing (DLP) type 3D printing, wherein dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was employed as a co-solvent to ensure uniform dispersion of the Pb(NO 3 ) 2 within the polymer matrix. This uniform dispersion was confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) analysis of the scintillator's cutting surface. The evaluation of scintillation properties showed that the scintillator loaded with 5 wt% of Pb(NO 3 ) 2 exhibited a gamma-ray counting efficiency for a 137 Cs source that was 1.64 times higher than that of the commercial plastic scintillator, BC408. Although the optical transmittance decreased due to the addition of Pb(NO 3 ) 2 and DMSO, the 5 wt% Pb(NO 3 ) 2 sample maintained a relative light output of 55.51% compared to BC408. Additionally, the fast timing characteristics were preserved, with the loaded scintillators exhibiting a decay time of 3.23–3.41 ns, nearly identical to that of the unloaded sample.

Escalating aquatic contamination by toxic heavy metal ions (HMIs) urgently requires field-deployable electrochemical sensors surpassing traditional methods. This work proposed a controllable synthesis of cobalt-embedded nitrogen-doped carbon/carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube (Co@NC/CMWCNTs) composites through in situ growth of ZIF-67 on CMWCNTs, followed by optimized carbonization. CMWCNTs-directed morphological evolution was systematically demonstrated, revealing that with increasing CMWCNT ratios, the ZIF-67 crystallite size underwent an initial increase and later decay, and after carbonization, a unique knot-like interpenetrating architecture was formed with CMWCNTs as bridges and Co@NC as nodes. This synergistic structure significantly enhanced electrical conductivity and electrocatalytic activity, as evidenced by electrochemical characterization. Compared to the glassy carbon electrode (GCE), the Co@NC/CMWCNTs/GCE sensor exhibited a 12-fold reduction in charge transfer resistance (28.3 Ω vs. 346.8 Ω), a 21% larger electroactive surface area, and rapid heterogeneous electron transfer kinetics of 3.8 × 10⁻³ cm s -1 . The composite sensor allowed simultaneous detection of Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Hg²⁺ in 0.1 M NaAc-HAc buffer (pH 4.5) with high sensitivities (169.7, 199.0, 135.9 and 108.0 μA·μM⁻¹ cm -2 ), low detection limits (40.0, 40.5, 87.5 and 106.2 nM) and observed cross-interference within 10%. This work establishes a materials design paradigm for MOF-derived electrochemical sensors for low-cost on-site environmental monitoring of HMIs.

Utilising waste amine-oxime (WAO) resin through microwave semi-carbonization, a carbon adsorbent (CA) was obtained to remove Pb(II). After microwave treatment, the pore size of the skeleton structure, three-dimensional porous network, and lamellar pore structure of WAO was improved. The distribution coefficient (Kd) of Pb(II) onto CA is 620 mL/g, and the maximum adsorption capacity of Pb(II) is 82.67 mg/g after 20 min of WAO microwave treatment. The adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms conform to the quasi-second-order kinetic equation and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model, respectively. The surface of MT-WAO is negatively charged and the adsorption mechanism is mainly electrostatic interaction. Pb(II) elution in hydrochloric acid solution is more than 98%, and its recovery is high at 318 K and for 1 h.

A series of granular pH-sensitive semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) hydrogels based on chitosan (CTS), acrylic acid (AA) and gelatine (GE) were utilized for the adsorption and recycle of Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. The composite hydrogels have been characterized by FT-IR and TGA. The effects of contact time, pH value and initial Pb(II) concentration on the adsorption were investigated. Results indicated that the adsorption capacity of the hydrogel increased with increasing pH value and initial Pb(II) concentration, and a pH-sensitive adsorption characteristic was presented. The adsorption rate of the semi-IPN hydrogels on Pb(II) is fast with an adsorption rate constant of 14.9790 mg/(g·s), and adsorption equilibrium could be reached within 10 min. The adsorption isotherms of the hydrogels for Pb(II) could be described well by the Langmuir equation, rather than the Freundlich equation. The as-prepared hydrogels showed good reusability with 0.05 mol/l HNO3 solutions as the desorbing agent and 0.1 mol/l NaOH solutions as the regeneration agent, respectively. After five consecutive adsorption-desorption processes, the semi-IPN hydrogel with 20 wt% GE may reach 85.26% of its initial adsorption capacity. In addition, the adsorbed Pb(II) can be quantitatively recovered by simply eluting the hydrogel with dilute HNO3 solution, and a recovery ratio of 89.27% was reached for the semi-IPN hydrogel. The satisfactory adsorption amount is mainly derived from the chelating of functional groups (i.e. –COO− and –NH2) with Pb(II) ions. The hydrogel adsorbents exhibited excellent affinity for Pb(II), and can be applied to treat wastewater containing heavy metal ion and simultaneously recover the valuable metal sources.

With the increasing concern in sustainable development and environmental governance, the biomass-based magnetic materials containing sufficient active sites and regular structure can be regarded as the high-performance adsorbents for removal of heavy metal pollutants from wastewater. In this study, we reported the tunable covalent binding of lignin onto amine-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (AMNP) using cyanuric chloride as a chemoselective cross-linker. The chemical structures, morphologies, and magnetic properties of the synthesized lignin-based magnetic adsorbents (L1@MNP and L2@MNP) were comprehensively characterized. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to investigate various effecting factors, including pH, contact time, solution concentration and temperature. With the higher component ratio of AMNP/lignin, L1@MNP displayed higher adsorption affinity ( q max = 111.23 mg/g) and selectivity towards Pb(II) than L2@MNP ( q max = 81.97 mg/g). The adsorption kinetics agreed well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the thermodynamic adsorption behaviors were found to be an endothermic and spontaneous process. In addition, the presence of magnetic cores in the network facilitated the fast recovery of both two magnetic adsorbents after the adsorption process, owing to the good superparamagnetic properties for L1@MNP (40.06 emu/g) and L2@MNP (26.95 emu/g). Furthermore, the core–shell magnetic adsorbents also showed superior stability even in an acidic solution, of which the removal efficiency could well maintain over 85% after 5 cycles. This work provides a facile strategy for the design and synthesis of lignin-based adsorbents with flexible nanoparticles as a building block for the potential application prospects in Pb(II) removal from wastewater.

Schiff base silica aerogels (SCA-X) were synthesized using amino-containing organosilanes and salicylic aldehyde as functional monomers with ethyl orthosilicate hydrolysis condensation as carrier. The influence of SCA-X on the adsorption of Pb (II) and Cu (II) under different adsorption conditions was evaluated, including the effect of solution pH, isotherm, kinetics, thermodynamics and adsorption mechanism. The batch adsorption experiments showed that SCA2 had the optimum adsorption capacity for Pb (II) (357.1 mg/g) and Cu (II) (243.9 mg/g), leading to adsorption equilibrium within 120 min and 360 min, respectively. After six adsorption–desorption cycles, SCA2 still possessed satisfactory adsorption for Pb (II) and Cu (II), demonstrating the reusability of the SCA2 adsorbent material. Kinetic studies indicated that the adsorption process could be described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, adsorption isotherms were in accordance with the Langmuir model, indicative of monomolecular layer adsorption. Thermodynamics evaluation revealed the nature of the adsorption process was an endothermic spontaneous process. XPS analysis combined with DFT calculations confirmed that the interaction mechanism between SCA2 and Pb (II) occurred through the coordination between the nitrogen atom donor in the Schiff base and the oxygen atom donor in the benzene ring, while the interaction between SCA2 and Cu (II) occurred mainly through the coordination between the nitrogen atom in the Schiff base and Cu (II). Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was introduced to analyze the environmental impact of the SCA2 fabrication process and eco-friendly approaches were provided, which eventually provided theoretical evidence for the application of as-prepared material in the handling of heavy metal effluents.
