Sodalite is a common zeolite , which is often discarded or ignored due to its small pore size and poor adsorption capacity. In this study, two sodalite type materials , CSF-S and N-CSF-S, were synthesized using cellulose superfine fiber (CSF) as template. Its unique scaly structure not only enhances its adsorption capacity for Cd (II), but also improves its adsorption efficiency. At 298 K and the initial Cd (II) concentration of 100 mg/L, the adsorption equilibrium of CSF-S was achieved within 30 min, which is 98% shorter than that of traditional sodalite. The adsorption of Cd (II) by CSF-S and N-CSF-S is an endothermic process and at 298 K the adsorption capacity could be as high as 260.1 and 284.1 mg/L, respectively, which were 1.9 and 2.0 times of the original sodalite, far higher than the reported similar adsorbents, and competitive to over other types of adsorbents. In addition, with low zero points of charge CSF-S (pH zpc around 1) and N-CSF-S (pH zpc around 3) can effectively remove Cd(II) over a wide pH range, superior to most zeolitic sorbent materials. Therefore, this work proposes a simple and cost-effective synthesis method for the sodalite type sorbents with high Cd(II) adsorption capacity and rapid adsorption rate, and also provides some basis for the study of heavy metal adsorption materials in aqueous systems.

This work describes the development of a simple, effective, and sensitive electrochemical sensor based on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with carboxylated carbon nanosheets (cCNSs) and poly(glutamic acid) (PGA) for the simultaneous detection of trace amount of Cd(II) and Pb(II) by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). The cCNSs were introduced to increase the effective surface area and electron transport efficiency of the sensor, while PGA acting as a capturer could capture target metal ions and eventually enhance the selectivity and sensitivity in the detection of Cd(II) and Pb(II). The designed sensor showed a linear range of 1.0–100.0 μg/L for both metal ions, with detection limits (S/ N = 3) of 0.13 μg/L for Cd(II) and 0.15 μg/L for Pb(II), respectively. The sensor was applied to the simultaneous detection of Cd(II) and Pb(II) in the water and rice samples, and the results were in good agreement with those obtained by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). It also gave excellent performance with regard to its selectivity, recovery, stability, and reproducibility.

The thermal adsorption residue (TDR) from oil sludge co-contaminated soil was employed to remove As(III), Zn(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) in aqueous solution. The results showed that the TDR could efficiently neutralize the acid and adapt to the extensive pH. The adsorption of four heavy metals on TDR could be divided into three stages. The maximum adsorption capacity were 86.59, 249.07, 339.88, 322.86 mg·g −1 for As(III), Zn(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), respectively. The coexistence of Zn(II)/Cu(II)/Cd(II) could promote As(III) removal but As(III) led to decreasing of Zn(II)/Cu(II)/Cd(II) adsorption capacity in binary system. There was a significant competitive adsorption on TDR among the three cations which followed the selectivity sequence of Cu(II)>Zn(II)>Cd(II). The SEM-EDS, XRD, FTIR and XPS analyses demonstrated that the As(III) was removed via formation of Ca-As precipitation, and the Zn(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) were removed through precipitating as hydroxides/carbonates/silicates combining with ion exchange. Specially, the Cu(II) mainly precipitated in the form of Cu 4 (SO 4 )(OH) 6 ⋅2H 2 O and Cu 4 (OH) 6 SO 4 under sulfuric acid solution environment. Overall, this study indicates the potential of TDR as a cost-effective adsorbent in acid heavy metals contaminated wastewater treatment .

Multinary copper-based chalcogenide nanocrystals (NCs) as light-driven photocatalysts have attracted extensive research interest due to their great potential for generating sustainable energy without causing environmental concerns. However, systematic studies on the growth mechanism and related photocatalytic activities involving different valent metal ions (either M2+ or N3+) as foreign cations and monoclinic Cu1.94S NCs as the ‘parent lattice’ have rarely been carried out. In this work, we report an effective seed-mediated method for the synthesis of heterostructured Cu1.94S–MS NCs (M = Zn, Cd and Mn) and alloyed CuNS2 NCs (N = In and Ga). A typical cation exchange process took place prior to the growth of heterostructured NCs, while further inter-cation diffusion occurred only for the alloyed NCs. When compared with Cu1.94S NCs, all the heterostructured Cu1.94S–MS NCs and CuGaS2 NCs showed enhanced photocatalytic activities toward hydrogen production by water splitting, owing to their tailored optical band gaps and energy level alignments. Although optically favored, CuInS2 ANCs were not comparable to others due to their low conduction band minimum for the reduction of H2O to H2.

A novel two-step controlled basic water phase method has been developed for synthesizing size-tunable and water-soluble CdTe/Cd(OH) 2 core/shell quantum dots with high quantum yield and good stability. The size of the prepared CdTe/Cd(OH) 2 core/shell quantum dots can be easily manipulated by varying the concentrations of NaOH solution step by step. The maximal emission wavelengths of the series CdTe/Cd(OH) 2 core/shell QDs were from 513 nm to 610 nm (emission colors tuned from green to red). The CdTe/Cd(OH) 2 core/shell quantum dots not only possess high quantum yield (up to 83%) but also exhibit excellent photostability (being stable after being stored for more than 2 months). The CdTe/Cd(OH) 2 core/shell quantum dots were characterized by transmission electron microscopy , high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction spectrometry , ultraviolet–visible spectrometry and fluorescence spectrometry. The water-soluble nature of the CdTe/Cd(OH) 2 core/shell quantum dots offers great potentiality for their chemical and biological applications. This method is easily controlled, low-cost and reproducible. So it is possible to extend this approach to the preparation of other size-tunable inorganic metal hydroxide capped core/shell quantum dots.

The γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) metal–organic frameworks (CD-MOF-1) consist of γ-CD and potassium (K+) ions through coordinating an eight-coordinated K+ ion with two C5-linked oxygen and C6-linked hydroxyl (C5–O/C6–OH) groups in the primary faces of adjacent γ-CD units and two C2- and C3-linked hydroxyl (C2–OH/C3–OH) groups in the secondary faces. Herein, we found polysaccharide gels with only C2–OH/C3–OH or C5–O/C6–OH groups in pyranoid rings can form four-coordinated K+ ions and then coordinate γ-CD in a KOH solution for CD-MOF-1 growth. Exposure of C2–OH/C3–OH or C5–O/C6–OH groups in polysaccharide gels is important to form active four-coordinated K+ ions. Mechanism supporting this work is that four-coordinated K+ ion sites are first formed after coordinating C2–OH/C3–OH groups in pectin and then coordinating C5–O/C6–OH groups in the primary faces of γ-CD units. Alternatively, four-coordinated K+ ions with C5–O/C6–OH groups in chitosan can coordinate the C2–OH/C3–OH groups in the secondary faces of γ-CD units. Mechanism of CD-MOF-1 growing on pectin and chitosan gels through the proposed four-coordinated K+ ions is also universally applicable to other polysaccharide gels with similar C2–OH/C3–OH or C5–O/C6–OH groups such as alginate gel. Based on this mechanism, we developed pectin and chitosan gel-based CD-MOF-1 composites and exemplified applications of them in antibacterial and organic dye removal. To help future research and applications of this mechanism, we share our theoretical assumption for further investigations that any matrices with an ortho-hydroxyl carbon chain or ortho-hydroxyl ether structures may form four-coordinated K+ ions for CD-MOF-1 growth. The proposed mechanism will broaden the development of novel CD-MOF-1 composites in various fields.

Four new Zn(II)-, Cd(II)-, Mn(II)-, and Co(II) - based 1D to 2D coordination polymers (CPs) were synthesized from metal salts and 1,4-di(1-imidazol-1-yl)naphthalene (DIN) ligand via the coordination reaction under hydrothermal conditions with quantitative yields , namely, [Zn(SO 4 )(DIN)(H 2 O)] ( CP-1 ), [Cd(NO 3 ) 2 (DIN)] ( CP-2 ), [Mn(SO 4 )(DIN)(H 2 O) 3 ] ( CP-3 ), and [Co(NO 3 ) 2 (DIN) 2 (H 2 O) 4 ] ( CP-4 ). The CPs were analyzed and characterized using FT-IR, Elemental Analysis , TGA , SC-XRD, and PXRD . CP-1 was selected as a model sensor for fluorescence detection , and the sensor exhibited high quenching rates at two excitation wavelengths of λ ex = 230 and 290 nm, and at a single emission wavelength of λ em = 350 nm. At these two different excitation wavelengths, CP-1 behaved differently during the sensing of pesticides, and the highest quenching rate was achieved by the sensor for nitenpyram ( λ ex = 230 nm) and imidacloprid ( λ ex = 290 nm). Furthermore, during the sensing of vitamins, CP-1 encountered a strong quenching effect toward vitamin B2 . During the sensing processes, the inner filter effect (for nitenpyram , imidacloprid , and vitamin B2), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (for nitenpyram, imidacloprid, and vitamin B2), and photo-induced electron transfer (for vitamin B2) were the mechanisms responsible for fluorescence quenching .

Background Cyclodextrins (CDs) and their derivatives have been widely used as chiral selectors in HPLC. However, many derivatized CDs lack specificity for certain drugs and often exhibit limited resolution. Furthermore, their synthesis typically involves complex multi-step procedures, hindering scalability and cost-efficiency. To overcome these limitations, this study aims to develop a simple and scalable boric acid-modified β-cyclodextrin polymer (BA-β-CDP), targeting chiral substances with O/N atoms in chiral and/or adjacent carbons. Results BA-β-CDP was synthesized on a large scale using inexpensive reagents and a random substitution strategy, avoiding tedious protection-purification steps. Structural and chromatographic compatibility was confirmed by nine characterization techniques. In HPLC using the chiral mobile-phase additive (CMPA) method, BA-β-CDP enabled the efficient separation of 25 racemates. Among them, 24 achieved complete or baseline separation, and 10 exhibited resolution (Rs) values > 10. Typical cases included bisoprolol (Rs = 48.19), propranolol (Rs = 45.50), chlorpheniramine (Rs = 38.36), and metoprolol (Rs = 20.26). Additionally, the material demonstrated excellent batch-to-batch reproducibility, recyclability, and reusability. Significance and novelty This work presents a practical and cost-effective chiral selector. The synergistic mechanism offers strong and specific recognition toward chiral substances with O/N atoms in chiral and/or adjacent carbons. This approach represents a novel strategy for efficient and economical HPLC-based enantioseparation using widely accessible materials and methods.

Species-specific toxic, metabolic, and bioavailable properties of commonly coexisting metal(loid)s—particularly Cr, As, Cd, Hg, and Pb—necessitate their speciation analysis. Because of the complexity and diversity in chemical form, concentration (from picograms to milligrams per liter), interactions, and sample matrix, multi-elemental speciation methods are preferred over traditional mono-elemental speciation methods. However, current multi-elemental speciation methods have primarily associated with only two metal(loid)s. Herein, we developed an efficient, sensitive, inexpensive, and green methodology for the simultaneous penta-elemental speciation analysis of Cr, As, Cd, Hg, and Pb using high-performance liquid chromatography combined with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and online solid-phase extraction (SPE) preconcentration. Food samples were extracted with a mixture of 0.1 M HNO 3 and 5 mM L -cysteine (Cys), chosen among 10 extractants for its good extraction efficiency, low noise, and minimal chromatographic interference. The proposed method offered a short analysis time (10 min for separation and 2 min for enrichment), excellent linearity (R 2 > 0.995), low detection limits (0.02 −0.12 μg L −1 in SPE-free mode; 0.02 −3.2 ng L −1 with online SPE), high precision (0.2 −2.4 %), and good recovery (81 −117 %) using an aqueous mobile phase of 5 mM tetrabutylammonium hydroxide + 5 mM Cys (pH 4.7). This demonstrates its good applicability to both food and water samples. Despite the incompatibility of Cr(VI) with As(III) and Cys, the proposed method excels in analytical, economic, and environmental aspects (maximizing the number of metal(loid)s within minimized analytical time using aqueous mobile phases), showing significant potential for a wide range of food, environmental, and biological samples.

Due to the complexity of wastewater pollutants and their adverse effects on human health and the environment, there is an urgent need for the development of a recyclable adsorbent capable of removing both dyes and heavy metals. In this study, citric acid modification β-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (CA-β-CD-MOF) was synthesized by chemical grafting followed by vapor diffusion methods. The concentration, dosage, and pH of citric acid had a certain impact on the adsorption effect of the adsorbent. The adsorption capacities for the anionic dye Congo red (CR) and copper ions (Cu 2+ ) were as high as 900.9 and 287.4 mg·g −1 , respectively. The adsorption process could be well described by the Langmuir isothermal model. The adsorption kinetics of CR and Cu 2+ conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption process was a heat absorption and spontaneous process. The combination of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental results proves that electrostatic interaction is the adsorption mechanism of CR. The adsorption of Cu 2+ was attributed to the complexation between the carboxyl group on citric acid (CA) and Cu 2+ . The CA-β-CD-MOF we prepared has good adsorption performance and recyclability and has great potential in removing Congo red and copper ions from wastewater.

The impact of functionality of biochar on pressing environmental issue of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) co-contamination in simultaneous soil and water systems has not sufficiently reported. This study investigated the impact of Fe- and Mg-functionalized wheat straw biochar (Fe-WSBC and Mg-WSBC) on Cd and Pb adsorption/immobilization through batch sorption and column leaching trials. Importantly, Fe-WSBC was more effective in adsorbing Cd and Pb (82.84 and 111.24 mg g −1 ), regeneration ability (removal efficiency 94.32 and 92.365), and competitive ability under competing cations (83.15 and 84.36%) compared to other materials (WSBC and Mg-WSBC). The practical feasibility of Fe-WSBC for spiked river water verified the 92.57% removal of Cd and 85.73% for Pb in 50 mg L −1 and 100 mg L −1 contamination, respectively. Besides, the leaching of Cd and Pb with Fe-WSBC under flow-through conditions was lowered to (0.326 and 17.62 mg L −1 ), respectively as compared to control (CK) (0.836 and 40.40 mg L −1 ). In short, this study presents the applicable approach for simultaneous remediation of contaminated water and soil matrices, offering insights into environmentally friendly green remediation strategies for heavy metals co-contaminated matrices.

Reactions of N 1 ,N 3 -bis(2-mercaptoethyl)isophthalamide with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (3-APTES) afforded the the corresponding Schiff base chelating ligand, (1Z,3Z)-N 1 ,N 3 -bis(2-mercaptoethyl)-N' 1 ,N' 3 bis(3(triethoxysilyl)propyl) isophthalimidamide ( L1 ) in high yields. Subsequent immobilization of L1 on mesoporous silica supports (SBA-15 and MCM-41) following a divergent method produced the respective fabricated L1@SBA-15 and L1@MCM-41 materials. Characterization of the fabricated chelating agents was accomplished using SEM, TEM, EDX, BET, PXRD, FT-IR, and TGA-DTA/DSC techniques. The fabricated materials were used as adsorbents for the removal of Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cr(VI) metal ions from water. Both the L1@SBA-15 and L1@MCM-41 materials demonstrated high extraction efficiencies for Cd(II) and Pb(II) cations, achieving over 98% and 97% removal, respectively, across a broad pH range (3–9). For Cr(VI) anions, relatively lower optimal extraction efficiencies of 67% and 77% were recorded between pH 3–12, for L1@SBA-15 and L1@MCM-41 , adsorbents, respectively. Faster extraction kinetics were observed for Cd(II) and Pb(II) cations, with over 94% removal achieved within 30 min, even at low initial metal concentrations (5 ppm) and adsorbent dosages (10 mg). Kinetic modelling showed that the adsorption process followed a pseudo -second-order kinetics, with high correlation coefficients (R 2 ) for Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cr(VI) of 0.97573, 0.97348, and 0.91017 using L1@MCM-41 , and 0.9754, 0.97089, and 0.89411 using L1@SBA-15 , respectively. Equilibrium data best fitted the Freundlich isotherm model, with R 2 values of 0.97952, 0.99892, and 0.97374 for L1@SBA-15 and 0.99879, 0.99999, and 0.90923 for L1@MCM-41 , corresponding to Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cr(VI), respectively. In competitive metal ion systems, the extraction selectivity followed the order Cd(II) > Pb(II) > Cr(VI), with L1@SBA-15 exhibiting superior overall performance compared to L1@MCM-41 . The extraction mechanism was postulated to occur through the coordination of the metal ions to the nitrogen/sulfur donor atoms in the chelating agents, consistent with the hard and soft acid and base (HSAB) principle. Furthermore, L1@MCM-41 demonstrated notable regeneration potential, retaining Cr(VI) extraction efficiencies over four successive cycles. Graphical
