The present study evaluated the efficiency of pre-selected composite amendments (CA-1: biochar-lime-sepiolite-zeolite and CA-2: manure-lime-sepiolite) for immobilization and sorption of Cd and Pb in field and batch sorption experiments. The field experiment was performed in a co-contaminated clay purple soil (stagnic anthrosols). Along with a control experiment (T1), CA-1 and CA-2 were tested at different rates including 750, 1500, 3000 and 6000 kg ha −1 by growing wheat as the test crop. The obtained results revealed that the highest dose of both composites (T5: 6000 kg ha −1 and T9: 6000 kg ha −1 ) increased the soil pH to 6.85 and 6.81, respectively as compared to the control (5.63). DTPA-extractable Cd and Pb contents decreased with composite treatments (T7 and T4) at harvest stage samples. Metal fractionation depicted that application of amendments decreased the exchangeable fraction at harvesting stage. Application of CA-2 and CA-1 (3000 kg ha −1 ) significantly increased the plant biomass (by 28% and 24%, respectively) and grain yield (by 26% and 22%, respectively) of wheat. Furthermore, batch sorption experiment results revealed that Langmuir adsorption model better fitted the sorption results with R 2 values ranging between 0.99 and 0.91 for Cd and Pb, respectively. CA-1 and CA-2 exhibited the maximum adsorption capacity for Cd with no significant difference among treatments but Pb adsorption capacity was highest in CA-1 followed by CA-2 and control. The results of our experiments revealed that the application of organics combined with inorganic materials enhanced Cd and Pb immobilization and sorption, consequently reducing metals availability in laboratory and field conditions. Moreover, for field trials, application of the composite amendments at 3000 kg ha −1 emerged as the suitable treatment for tested wheat-grown area.

This work establishes a hyphenated methodology coupling HPLC with ICP-MS for simultaneous speciation analysis of arsenic, mercury and lead for the first time. Four arsenicals (As(III), DMA, MMA and As(V)), four mercurials (Hg(II), MeHg, EtHg and PhHg) and three lead compounds (Pb(II), TML and TEL) were simultaneously analyzed within only 8 min with acceptable resolution (2.0–8.2 for As, 1.6–6.1 for Hg and 2.7–4.0 for Pb). The detection limits were 0.036–0.20 for As-species, 0.023–0.041 for Hg-species, and 0.0076–0.14 μg L −1 for Pb-species. The developed method was applied for the measurement of five lotus seed samples, indicating the presence of DMA (19.6–28.2 μg kg −1 ), TML (1.4–2.9 μg kg −1 ), MeHg (1.2–4.8 μg kg −1 ) and EtHg (0.8–2.2 μg kg −1 ). This method provides a promising tool for studying the toxic, metabolic and bioavailable behaviors of arsenic, mercury and lead.

Heavy metal pollution causes serious health threat to humanbeings. Herein we fabricated a novel bismuth oxycarbide (BOC) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the simultaneous detection of cadmium and lead ions using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). The main factors influencing the detection performance, such as solution pH, deposition voltage and deposition time were optimized to be 4.5, −1.3v, and 700s, respectively. The detection limits for lead ions and cadmium ions were 4.30 μg/L and 3.97 μg/L, respectively. These detection limits are both lower than 5 μg/L for cadmium ions and 10 μg/L for lead ions national standards. The BOC modified GCE exhibits good selectivity and reliability for the detection of lead ions and cadmium ions. BOC/GCE may find great potential for heavy metal ions detection in real water sample.

To explore the effect of coexisted amino and thiol groups on adsorption of heavy metal, a novel magnetic nanoparticle was prepared by sequentially modification with (3-Chloropropyl) trimethoxysilan, polyetherimide, epichlorohydrin and thiourea. Subsequently, it was characterized by TEM, N 2 adsorption/desorption, FTIR Spectroscopy, zeta potential, and VSM. The maximum adsorption capacity for Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ and Cu 2+ reached 110.13 mg·g −1 , 40.23 mg·g −1 and 29.37 mg·g −1 , respectively. The adsorption of the magnetic nanoparticles with different surface group for heavy metals were compared, which indicated that the amino and thiol group played an important role in the adsorption of heavy metals. Especially, the adsorption capacity increased dramatically after modification with the thiol group, which was attributed to the synergistic coordination of −NH 2 and −SH. The adsorption kinetics is consistent with the quasi-second-order kinetics equation, and the adsorption thermodynamic process is consistent with the Langmuir isotherm equation. The effects of experimental conditions, such as pH, the concentration of metals, adsorption time and temperature, on adsorption of Pb 2+ were studied in detail. In addition, over 90% of removal rate was remained after 6 cycles. The magnetic nanoadsorbents was a promising nanoadsorbent with high adsorption speed, simultaneous adsorption of various heavy metals, strong anti-interference ability and reusability.

In this work, to simultaneously remove organic dyes and Pb(II) from wastewater, a series of magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @C@TiO 2 -nanotube composites were designed and successfully synthesized via a new facile oil-phase cyclic magnetic adsorption (OCMA) method. The structural properties of the synthesized composites were investigated by different characterization methods systematically. It was found that Fe 3 O 4 was uniformly deposited on the inner walls of TiO 2 nanotubes. Although a Type III band alignment was formed in the catalysts, Fe 3 O 4 @C@TiO 2 -nanotube composites exhibited enhanced light absorbing ability and enlarged absorption edge due to efficient separation of h + and e − , which was verified by UV–Vis (Ultraviolet–visible) and PL (Photoluminescence) spectra. Decontamination experiments of 1FeCTi showed that more than 98% of RhB and about 92% of Pb(II) ions could be removed through adsorptive removal in the dark equilibrium period and further elimination during the illuminating period. The pseudo-first-order model, L-H model and adsorption-reaction model were established to describe the adsorption of Pb(II) in the dark, photodegradation of RhB and further elimination of Pb(II), respectively. A four-step mechanism was proposed to describe the decontamination process of Pb(II) during the illuminating period according to the final forms of Pb (Pb δ1 , Pb δ2 , Pb 0 and PbO). Finally, it was found that the photocatalytic activity would be maintained in the recycle experiments due to the existence of 1FeCTi@PbO heterostructure.

The performance of Fe 3 O 4 /attapulgite (APT) nanoparticles in Pb(II) adsorption from aqueous solutions could be improved by modifying the particles with aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS) and then combining with chitosan (CS) into beads. After preparing the APTS-Fe 3 O 4 /APT@CS beads, their surface morphology and crystal phases were analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The magnetic properties of APTS-Fe 3 O 4 /APT@CS were studied by a vibrating sample magnetometer, while their heat resistance and stability were characterized by thermal weight analysis. A recycling test and comparison of adsorption capacities were also carried out. The adsorption capacity of Fe 3 O 4 /APT was improved by the modification with APTS and CS. The adsorption process conforms to the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir adsorption isotherm models. The adsorption of Pb(II) reaches a maximum of 625.34 mg/g, which compares favorably with other reported adsorbents. The results show that APTS-Fe 3 O 4 /APT@CS is a promising hybrid adsorbent for effective removal of Pb(II) from water.

A microwave- and ultrasound-assisted reduction and assembly of lead dimethyldithiocarbamate (Pb (DMDC) 2 ) led to the formation of rod-like Pb (DMDC) 2 embedded with PbS quantum dots (QDs). Transmission electron microscopy measurements show the presence of numerous isolated PbS QDs on the Pb (DMDC) 2 microrod surface, which may potentially act as hot spots for enhanced Raman spectroscopy. A case study using mercaptopyridine as the analyte demonstrates that the rod-like hybrids have outstanding performance as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate, comparable with that of Au nanorods. The excellent SERS performance of the as-fabricated PbS QDs/Pb (DMDC) 2 hybrids may be attributed to the unique dispersion of PbS QDs as well as the intimate contacts between PbS QDs and Pb (DMDC) 2 . This study therefore presents a new approach for the development of low-cost and highly efficient semiconductor-based SERS substrates.

A novel cellulose microcrystalline-manganese dioxide nanocomposite (CMC-NMO) was synthesized by the redox reaction between potassium permanganate and ethanol based on cellulose microcrystalline. The cellulose microcrystalline (CMC) as support providing growth sites for the manganese dioxide nanowhiskers produced by the redox reaction and its application for Pb(II) and Cd(II) removal from aqueous was investigated. The characterization of as-synthesized material was revealed by various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. Infrared-transform infrared (FITR) indicates that the incorporation of manganese oxide to CMC does not change the initial structure of it. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) data show that the manganese dioxide nanowhiskers with a few nanometers are uniformly dispersed on the surface of cellulose. Kinetics experiments reveal that Pb(II) and Cd(II) adsorption on CMC-NMO is a fast process and pseudo-second-order model fits the adsorption better. The maximum adsorption capacities of Pb(II) and Cd(II) obtained from the Langmuir model are 290.8 mg/g and 67.4 mg/g, respectively. The mechanism is mainly attributed to surface complexation and electrostatic attraction by energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. In addition, depth removal experiments show that the residual concentrations of Pb(II) and Cd(II) in natural water after adsorption are lower than 0.01 mg/L. The regeneration and cyclic utilizing studies indicate that CMC-NMO has good adsorption stability. Therefore, the results indicate that this material can be employed as a potential adsorbent for current serious Pb(II) and Cd(II) pollution caused by industrial emissions.

In this work, a tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA)-grafted metal-organic framework material (MIL-101) was synthesized. The introduction of TEPA increased the abundance of functional groups on the MIL-101. As a powdery adsorbent, MIL-101-TEPA can be difficult to separate. In order to solve this problem, we combined MIL-101-TEPA with sodium alginate (SA) and injected the mixture into a CaCl2solution to solidify the powder into beads with a particle size of 3 mm. The easily recovered adsorbent was applied to the adsorption of Pb(II) from water. The structure and characterization of the adsorbent were investigated through scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). We also optimized the adsorption conditions. The results of the study showed that the adsorption process was chemisorptive and endothermic in nature. The maximum adsorption capacity of the composite beads was 558.6 mg/g. Meanwhile MIL-101-TEPA@CA showed good repeatable utilization.Keywords:sodium alginate;functional MIL-101;composite beads;adsorption;Pb(II)

Nano-zero-valent iron/activated carbon (nZVI/AC) composite was evaluated for its effectiveness in the stabilization of Cu, Pb, Cd, and Cr in dredged river sediment. Synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP) and toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) were adopted to compare the effects of nZVI/AC dosage, particle size, time duration, and temperature on heavy metal leachability. The results show that leachability dropped considerably with the addition of nZVI/AC and powdered particles in the size of 0.075–0.18 mm was more effective in stabilization than granular ones. Stabilization effect was stable in long-term and robust against changes in temperature. Tessier sequential extraction revealed that heavy metals were associated with solid particle, inorganic or organic matters in sediment. The addition of nZVI/AC was able to convert relatively weakly bound heavy metals into more strongly bound species and thus reduce the bioavailability and toxicity. Also, the standard potential of heavy metals may decide the mechanism of stabilization process.

A hierarchical porous PU@PDA@MSNs sponge with reversible “shape memory” effect was employed in this investigation for the simultaneous adsorption of Pb(II) and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP). Our strategy was based on facile conjugation of carboxyl groups modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) to poly(dopamine) (PDA) coated polyurethane (PU) sponge (PU@PDA), and the as-prepared PU@PDA@MSNs sponge possessed the advantages of less operation time, convenient adsorbent collection and regeneration owing to its reversible “shape memory” effect. In single system, Pb(II) and TCP adsorption were implemented at pH = 6.0, and their max monolayer adsorption amount at 298 k were 104.2 mg g −1 and 184.2 mg g −1 , respectively. However, the binary system exhibited that the coexistence of Pb(II) and TCP could obviously accelerate jointly adsorption at low concentrations, due to partial complexation between Pb(II) and TCP during the 10–30 mg L −1 of Pb(II) and TCP. While at higher concentrations, TCP adsorption was inhibited in relation to the competition from Pb(II), but Pb(II) adsorption was scarcely affected due to its smaller size and strong complexation with amino groups from PU@PDA@MSNs sponge. The PU@PDA sponge could be simply recycled and maintained stability after seven adsorption/desorption cycles in the regeneration steps.

An electrochemical sensor was developed for detecting heavy metal ions by using a phytic acid functionalized polypyrrole (PPy)/graphene oxide (GO) modified electrode. PPy/GO nanocomposites were synthesized by in situ chemical oxidation polymerization. The PPy/GO nanocomposites were functionalized with phytic acid (PA) molecules by electrostatic attraction. The structural features of the fabricated nanocomposites were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The PA/PPy/GO modified electrode exhibited high electrochemical conductivity, and produced a remarkable increase in peak current compared with the PPy/GO and PA/GO modified electrodes. The developed sensor was used for the electrochemical analysis of various trace metal ions by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The modified electrode demonstrated to measure Cd(II) and Pb(II) with a linear working range of 5–150 μg/L. This work demonstrated a simple, rapid and high performing electrochemical strategy for high-sensitivity detection of heavy metal ions.
