A high-performance lateral flow and paper-based microfluidic device ( μ PAD) was constructed to develop a rapid read-out analytical platform for heavy metal elements (Pb (II)) in green tea with complex matrices. The entire analytical device was integrated with several functional parts, including a liquid flow channel and an enrichment visualization zone prepared by the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) protocol. Under the optimal conditions, the Pb (II) content in tea products can be sensitively and specifically analyzed using an in situ visualization readout. Herein, a rapid visual read-out analysis of the lead level can be achieved by overcoming the other co-existing interfering elements in the traditional green tea sample. The ionic imprinted paper chip can effectively capture the Pb (II) of the digested sample solution, and a visualization sensing process occurred between the metal elements and a chelating visual reagent with high sensitivity and selectivity in situ . Owing to the stable visualization performance, the constructed chip demonstrated good contrast, with a low background and easily recognizable colored spots. The linear range was 2.5–100 mg kg −1 , and the limit of detection for Pb (II) in traditional green tea was 1.375 mg kg −1 . In addition, other co-existing metal elements did not interfere with the analysis because of the appropriate pretreatment and selectivity of the paper-based chip. Furthermore, the analytical results for tea samples were verified by atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) tests, which demonstrated the robustness and reliability of the proposed method. Therefore, the high-performance visualization lateral flow- μ PAD is a promising platform for the rapid analysis of metal element levels in food products.

Water containing excess heavy metals poses a health risk to humans but can be purified effectively using adsorbents. As such, identifying novel and efficient adsorbents to remove heavy metals such as Pb(II) and Cr(VI) is vital. We report a new metal-organic framework (MOF), {[Cd 1.5 (btc)(bibp)·2H 2 O]·H 2 O}n, capable of capturing Pb(II) and Cr(VI) from water. The adsorbent has a high density of exposed active sites, with maximum adsorption capacities of 537.634 mg/g for Pb(II) (pH = 7) and 787.402 mg/g for Cr(VI) (pH = 6). Adsorption equilibrium was reached after 60 and 120 min with Pb(II) and Cr(VI), respectively, and the adsorbent was regenerated effectively using an ethanol-acetic acid eluent. Analysis of the adsorption kinetics using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the abundant –OH groups (hard base) and the Pb(II)/Cr(VI) (soft acid) behave according to the hard-soft acid-base principle. In addition, electron pairs are shared between the imidazole N atoms and Pb(II)/Cr(VI). This study provides new insights into the design of three-dimensional MOFs for removing pollutants from industrial wastewaters, with the potential to mitigate health risks to humans and natural ecosystems.

In the present study, a novel amino-functionalized magnetic aerobic granular sludge-biochar (NH 2 -M-AGS) was successfully fabricated through magnetization and functional modification and applied for Pb(II) sorption . The composite was characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Zeta potential analysis, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effects of adsorbent dosage, pH value, contact time and initial metal concentration on the adsorption of Pb(II) were investigated by using batch equilibrium experiments. It was concluded that the pseudo-second-order model was better to describe adsorption kinetic of Pb(II) onto NH 2 -M-AGS. The Langmuir model was more accorded with the experimental data, and the maximum adsorption capacity of Pb(II) was 127.0 mg/g. A possible adsorption mechanism could be mainly caused by surface complexation, electrostatic attraction and precipitation. In five adsorption-desorption cycles, the desorption efficiency of Pb(II) exhibited a slight decline and still reached at 88.14%. Furthermore, the good reproducibility indicated that NH 2 -M-AGS could be used a desirable, economic and recyclable adsorbent in practical metal-contaminated wastewater treatment .

In this study, four different coal fly ashes (CFAs) were used as raw materials of silica and alumina for the preparation of the alumina-containing Mobil Composition of Matter No. 41 (Al-MCM-41) and the exploration of an activation strategy that is efficient and universal for various CFAs. Alkaline hydrothermal and alkaline fusion activations proceeded at different temperatures to determine the best treatment parameters. We controlled the pore structure and surface hydroxyl density of the CFA-derived Al-MCM-41 by changing the crystallization temperature and aging time. The products were characterized by small-angle X-ray diffraction, nitrogen isotherms, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy,29Si silica magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance, and transmission electron microscopy, and they were then grafted with thiol groups to remove Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. This paper innovatively evaluates the CFA activation strategies using energy consumption analysis and determines the optimal activation methodology and parameters. This paper also unveils the effect of the crystallization condition of Al-MCM-41 on its subsequent Pb(II) removal capacity. The results show that the appropriate selection of crystallization parameters can considerably increase the removal capacity over Pb(II), providing a new path to tackle the ever-increasing concern of aquic heavy-metal pollution.Keywords:coal fly ash;CFA activation;Al-MCM-41;crystallization parameters;Pb(II) removal capacity

Potentially toxic dichlorophenols and heavy metal ions commonly coexist in industrial sewage, posing a serious threat to public health and the environment and making the treatment more challenging. Inspired by Suzhou bifacial embroidery, whereby the Janus-like planar structure allows different compositions to be compartmentalized onto two distinct surfaces, Janus silica nanosheets partitioning bispecific artificial receptors (i.e., molecularly imprinted sites and thiol groups) onto distinct recognition surfaces (J-MIPs/cys) were designed to independently take up 2,6-dichlorophenol (DCP) and Pb(II). For J-MIPs/cys, the thiol groups are expected to capture Pb(II) via chelating action and molecularly imprinted cavities act as highly specific recognition sites for DCP. J-MIPs/cys possessed uniform cross-sectional dimensions and thickness (∼25.3 nm), and a particle-like surface imprinted layer (∼21.8 nm). In the monocomponent system, J-MIPs/cys displayed fast binding kinetics (60 min and 45 min), large monolayer adsorption capacity (129.4 mg g−1 and 82.95 mg g−1), high affinity, and excellent regeneration after five reuse cycles (9.134% and 12.16% loss in adsorption amounts) for DCP and Pb(II), respectively. Additionally, a spontaneous and endothermic adsorption process was also confirmed. In a binary system, the presence of Pb(II) produced a prominent increase in DCP adsorption at high initial concentrations and a decrease at low initial concentrations, owing to the partial complexation of Pb(II) with excess DCP and occupation of imprinted sites by Pb(II). However, the uptake of Pb(II) was inhibited over the whole range of concentration in the presence of DCP due to the competitive adsorption onto thiol groups. In summary, J-MIPs/cys integrating novel bispecific receptors open wide possibilities for efficient and specific treatment of coexisting toxic pollutants.

Magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles were coated by polyethyleneimine (PEI), and then Fe 3 O 4 @PEI was further modified with MoS 2 by the hydrothermal method to fabricate 3D flower-like structured magnetic polyethyleneimine@MoS 2 (MP@MoS 2 ) composites, and the composites were served as efficient adsorbents to capture Cr(VI) and Pb(II) from aqueous solution. The effects of temperature, pH, shaking time and environmental conditions on adsorption performance of MP@MoS 2 towards Cr(VI) and Pb(II) have been conducted by batch adsorption experiments. The prepared MP@MoS 2 exhibited high adsorption capacities (192.30 mg/g for Cr(VI) at pH 3.0 and 256.41 mg/g for Pb(II) at pH 6.0) and the adsorption equilibrium could be achieved in a short time. Moreover, MP@MoS 2 composites with high saturation magnetization could be simply separated under an external magnet. Combined experiments and spectral analysis, the underlying adsorption mechanism for Cr(VI) on MP@MoS 2 was mainly attributed to the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III), and the removal of Pb(II) was due to the complexation with sulfur groups and amino-groups. Consequently, the prepared 3D flower-like structured MP@MoS 2 has a great potential for the practical application in removing Cr(VI) and Pb(II) from the aquatic environment.

The evaluation of the concentration of Pb(II) in solution has great significance in avoiding harm to ecology health. In this work, NH 2 -MIL-53(Fe) modified ITO glass (NH 2 -MIL-53(Fe)@ITO) was utilized as an electrochemical sensor for the detection of Pb(II) in solutions. FTIR and XPS investigation disclosed that the plentiful surface –NH group on the NH 2 -MIL-53(Fe) should be responsible for the highly efficient and selective detection abilities of Pb(II) due to the capture and conductivity abilities. The NH 2 -MIL-53(Fe) was prepared by a solvothermal technique and electrophoresed on the surface of ITO glass . A square wave voltammetry (SWV) method is employed for the sensitive determination of Pb(II). The factors of the detection condition such as the pH and ion interference are also studied. The sensitivity of 16.072 μA μM −1 cm −2 in the linear range of 2–4 μM and 54.143 μA μM −1 cm −2 in the linear range of 5–17 μM, and the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.1 μM are acquired. The repeatability and reproducibility are also studied. EIS and Tafel curves are utilized to investigate the effect of temperatures on the properties of the NH 2 -MIL-53. This work presents a facile strategy for the preparation of NH 2 -MIL-53(Fe)@ITO electrochemical sensor via electrolysis, which enhances the sensitivity toward Pb(II) and shows great application potential.

Removal of Pb(II) from water is an important issue for improving water quality. However, the use of cost-effective and more environmentally friendly adsorbents to achieve highly-efficient adsorption capacity is still a challenge. A novel bio-sorbent (PP-DBD) is developed by functionalizing pomelo peels to remove Pb(II) in water. PP-DBD achieves the enrichment of Pb(II) (adsorption amount of 443.51 mg/g and removal rate of 99.98%) after 2 h and exhibits good selectivity and reusability (6 cycles). Isothermal studies show that adsorption is an irreversible process with positive synergism of multiple sites, and a active site has the ability to adsorb 1.29 Pb(II). The kinetics indicates that adsorption is chemisorption and the rate-limiting step is surface diffusion . The thermodynamic study reveals that the adsorption of Pb(II) is enhanced at higher temperatures by a spontaneous process. This study also shows that hydroxyl sites have a better affinity and easier charge transfer capacity to Pb(II) than amino sites on PP-DBD by DFT and FMOs calculations. In conclusion, PP-DBD is a promising adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II) in aqueous solution.

Post-modification of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials is an effective means to enhance their efficient and selective adsorption for heavy metal ions . In this article, we presented a reflection-type optical fiber surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on dual core fiber (DCF) coated with UiO-66-RSA (UiO-66-NH 2 post-modified with resorcinol aldehyde) film for the specific detection of Pb(II) in aqueous media . The composite material UiO-66-RSA exhibits stronger affinity and specificity for Pb(II) than UiO-66-NH 2 . The adsorption of Pb(II) can change the equivalent refractive index (RI) of UiO-66-RSA film, causing a regular shift in SPR spectra. Experiments have shown that the limit of detection (LOD) of the SPR Pb(II) sensor can reach 0.1 nM. Meanwhile, research has found that the SPR sensor is accompanied by temperature crosstalk of 0.356 nm/°C. Therefore, we constructed a Michelson temperature interferometer using polymer micro tips on the end face of the fiber core to achieve temperature compensation. Based on the above two sensing channels, dual parameter demodulation of Pb(II) concentration and temperature can be achieved with an error rate of less than 0.5 %. This article has potential research value in exploring the application of post modification techniques of MOF in fiber optic lead ion detection.

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.

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.

This study reports a novel adsorbent structure and shows the satisfactory removal performance of Pb(II) and Ni(II). The fabric structure increases the strength of the hydrogel. The hydrogel plays a major role in the composite structure as a matrix, while the fabric bears the applied load and protects the structure from mechanical damage. The double-network composite hydrogel is reinforced by plasma grafted polylactic acid melt-blown non-woven fabric and polyethylene glycol dimaleate, and its compressive strength reaches 40.6 kPa at 60% strain. The interface substantially improves the compression strength by 42.9%. Through the adsorption isotherm model, the adsorption capacity of the hydrogel for Pb(II) and Ni(II) reaches 233.12 and 165.06 mg/g, respectively, and the removal rate of heavy metal ions in water at low concentrations exceeds 95%, showing the excellent removal rate of heavy metals. Even after the fifth cycle, the removal efficiency barely declines, indicating the feasibility of repeatedly use. Cost analysis reveals that the adsorbent is relatively low cost, solving the problems of difficult recovery, low strength, and easy damage of hydrogel adsorbents, and promoting the industrial application of hydrogels as adsorbents.
