Guided by efficient utilization of natural plant oil and sulfur as low-cost sorbents, it is desired to tailor the porosity and composition of polysulfides to achieve their optimal applications in the management of aquatic heavy metal pollution. In this study, polysulfides derived from soybean oil and sulfur (PSSs) with improved porosity (10.2–22.9 m 2 /g) and surface oxygen content (3.1–7.0 wt.%) were prepared with respect to reaction time of 60 min, reaction temperature of 170 °C, and mass ratios of sulfur/soybean oil/NaCl/sodium citrate of 1:1:3:2. The sorption behaviors of PSSs under various hydrochemical conditions such as contact time, pH, ionic strength, coexisting cations and anions, temperature were systematically investigated. PSSs presented a fast sorption kinetic (5.0 h) and obviously improved maximum sorption capacities for Pb(II) (180.5 mg/g), Cu(II) (49.4 mg/g), and Cr(III) (37.0 mg/g) at pH 5.0 and T 298 K, in comparison with polymers made without NaCl/sodium citrate. This study provided a valuable reference for the facile preparation of functional polysulfides as well as a meaningful option for the removal of aquatic heavy metals.

Hydrometallurgy leaching is a common method used to recycle heavy metals from electroplating sludge , but the subsequent separation of heavy metals from the complex leaching solution is difficult. In this study, Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cr(III) were sequentially recycled from electroplating sludge by an on-line biosorption method with dosage controlling. The results showed that the three metals mainly existed in their labile forms and could be leached by HNO 3 . A series of amine-modified bagasse biosorbents were prepared, and diethylenetriamine-modified sorbent was chosen and fixed in a column to remove heavy metals from the leaching solution. Sorbent dosage experiments showed Cu(II) was recycled exclusively at a dosage of 1.5 g/L, while Zn(II) and Cr(III) were recycled simultaneously at a dosage of 3.8 g/L when treating 800 mL of a leaching agent containing 13.4, 9.9, and 7.1 mg/L of Cu, Zn, and Cr. A linear relationship between the dosage and amount of adsorbed metal ions was obtained. The XPS results illustrated that the column had an adsorption affinity order of Cu(II)>Zn(II), Cr(III)≫Ca(II), Mg(II). Cu(II) was enriched in the foot layer, and Zn(II) and Cr(III) were enriched in the middle layer of the column, while co-ions could not be absorbed. According to these results, Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cr(III) could be sequentially recycled by using these columns in-series.

The distribution characteristics of Cr(VI) species in contaminated soil is crucial for soil remediation; however, there is currently a lack of methods for analysing anionic Cr(VI) species in soil. This study has developed a novel sequential extraction method for speciation of Cr(VI) and Cr(III). Besides extraction experiments, simulated chromium species were prepared to verify the presence of proposed chromium species. The results show that Cr(VI) species in soil can be categorized into water-soluble Cr(VI), electrostatically adsorbed Cr(VI), Cr(VI) specifically adsorbed by minerals containing exchangeable Ca 2+ , Cr(VI) specifically adsorbed by hydrous metal oxides, calcium chromate Cr(VI) and stable complexed adsorption Cr(VI). These Cr(VI) species can be selectively extracted by specific solutions through ion exchange or weak acid dissolution. The most stable Cr(VI) species is Cr(VI) complexed by hydrous iron oxides through bidentate ligand binding; only by dissolution of hydrous iron oxides can this Cr(VI) species be leached. The distribution of Cr(VI) species is closely linked to particular soil compositions including exchangeable Ca 2+ and hydrous iron oxides which determinate the Cr(VI) adsorption in soil. Cr(III) species comprise Fe-Cr coprecipitate hydroxides Cr(III), Fe-Mn oxide-bound Cr(III), organic matter-bound Cr(III) and residual Cr(III). Their distribution depends on the types of reductants present in the soil.

A simple, rapid, sensitive and field-portable colorimetric technique for the determination of Cr(III) in aqueous solution based on an aggregation-induced color transition of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been developed. AuNPs were first functionalized with a dithiocarbamate-modified N -benzyl-4-(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)aniline ligand (BP-DTC). Chelation of Cr(III) by several of these ligands, bound to different nanoparticles, led to nanoparticle aggregation in solution. This gave rise to a color change from wine-red to blue that was discernible by the naked eye and an easily measurable alteration in the extinction spectrum of the particles. The method could be used to determine Cr(III) with a detection limit of 31 ppb. Furthermore, selective detection of trace Cr(III) in aqueous solution in the presence of 12 other transition metal ions has been achieved. Toward the goal of practical applications, the sensor has been further evaluated with a view to monitoring Cr(III) in nutritional supplements and the blood of diabetes patients and also applied in the indirect determination of Cr(VI) in waste water.

The removal of hazardous Cr(III) complexes via advanced oxidation processes can generate highly toxic Cr(VI), posing significant environmental risks. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop alternative methods that completely suppress the generation of Cr(VI). In this study, with no detectable Cr(VI) in the solution (below the detection limit of 0.004 mg/L), the carbon nanotubes-modified micron-sized zero-valent aluminum (CNTs@mAl 0 ) can effectively remove 99.50% of Cr(III)-EDTA and 83.34% of TOC under the typical acidic conditions of industrial chromium wastewater (pH = 3.00) by activating molecular oxygen. Then the following alkaline precipitation can easily remove the decomplexed free chromium, lowering total chromium concentration to 0.11 mg/L, which meets most national and regional standards, whereas direct alkali precipitation fails to meet them. Serving as a strong electron reservoir (E 0 = - 1.662 V), micron-sized zero-valent aluminum (mAl 0 ) synergizes with highly conductive carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to effectively activate O 2 , facilitating the production of reactive oxygen species (primarily 1 O 2 and •OH) that drive the oxidative decomplexation of Cr(III)-EDTA. Furthermore, the organic ligands are efficiently mineralized, thus preventing Cr(III)’s re-complexation. More interestingly, once the Cr(VI) is possibly generated, it would be rapidly absorbed by CNTs and be immediately reduced by mAl 0 with strong reducing power, thereby completely suppressing the generation of any Cr(VI) in bulk solution. In conclusion, this study presents an environmentally friendly and straightforward treatment system for Cr(III)-complexes, offering an effective solution to mitigate the environmental risks posed by chromium, particularly Cr(VI), in wastewater.

There is uncertainty in quantifying the toxic effects of total chromium (Cr) in the environment by modeling the toxicity of individual Cr(III) or Cr(VI). In the present study, the effects of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) on barley root elongation were investigated in a hydroponic system where Cr(III) and Cr(VI) combination dose-response experiments under monotoxicity concentration, single-dose addition, and fixed concentration ratios were designed to identify and quantify their combined phytotoxicity of one element with various valences. The results show that the calculated mixed toxicity unit values for 50% inhibition (TU mix50 ) ranged from 1.06 to 1.45, indicating the weak antagonism effects of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) on barley root toxicity. Also, the single-dose group experiment has proved that the EC 50 of Cr(VI) was increased from 71.2 μM to 119.9 μM with Cr(III) addition, which suggested that Cr(III) has antagonism on the toxicity of Cr(VI). While EC 50 of Cr(III) was not affected by Cr(VI) addition. After introducing the expansion coefficient of Cr(III) on Cr(VI) toxicity, both the extended concentration addition model (e-CA) based on the log-logistic and Weibull equations and the extended independent action model (e-IA) could more accurately predict the barley root elongation under Cr(III) and Cr(VI) interaction. The e-CA model based on the Weibull equation had almost the best correlation coefficient (R 2 ) and lowest root mean square error (RMSE) between the measured and predicted values. Finally, the combined toxicity and antagonism of the same element with co-existing different valences simultaneously were successfully and firstly identified and quantified in the present study.

The detection of heavy metals in tea infusions is important because of the potential health risks associated with their consumption. Existing highly sensitive detection methods pose challenges because they are complicated and time-consuming. In this study, we developed an innovative and simple method using Ag nanoparticles-modified resin (AgNPs-MR) for pre-enrichment prior to laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for the simultaneous analysis of Cr (III), Cu (II), and Pb (II) in tea infusions. Signal enhancement using AgNPs-MR resulted in amplification with limits of detection of 0.22 μg L −1 for Cr (III), 0.33 μg L −1 for Cu (II), and 1.25 μg L −1 for Pb (II). Quantitative analyses of these ions in infusions of black tea from various brands yielded recoveries ranging from 83.3% to 114.5%. This method is effective as a direct and highly sensitive technique for precisely quantifying trace concentrations of heavy metals in tea infusions.

The construction of highly efficient nanozyme activities in a simple means is vital for the wide biological and chemical applications. Present work describes a Cu-based carbon dots (Cu-CDs) with oxidase- and peroxidase-like activity for the catalytic oxidation of o -phenylenediamine (OPD) at neutral pH. The peroxidase-like activity of Cu-CDs was finely tuned and enhanced by changing the ascorbic acid (AA) content and reduction temperature to increase the Cu + content. The oxidation of OPD was significantly accelerated by the addition of Fe 2+ ions (i.e., Cu-CDs + Fe 2+ /H 2 O 2 system) and presented a smaller K m (Michaelis constant) and a higher V max (maximum rate) than horseradish peroxidase (HRP) at the same mass concentration. The Cu-CDs with oxidase- and peroxidase-like activities could catalyze to produce the superoxide radical ( · O 2 - ) and hydroxyl radical (·OH) in the system. Interestingly, the catalytic oxidation of OPD to 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP) could be inhibited by Cr(III) ions in Cu-CDs + Fe 2+ /H 2 O 2 system. Therefore, a new fluorescent detection strategy was developed for the detection of Cr(III) with the linear range of 0.2−100 μM, and the detection limit of 36 nM (S/N = 3). This work provides new insight into the mechanism and kinetics of low-valence copper–carbon dots peroxidase-like and Fenton co-catalyst system.

In this study, a novel composite composed of iron monosulfide nanoparticles (FeS NPs) and titanate nanotubes (TNTs) was hydrothermally synthesized. Characterizations revealed the encapsulation and homogenous dispersion of FeS NPs into the interlayers of TNTs. Significant performance in removal of aqueous total Cr was acquired by efficient conversion of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) on FeS and simultaneous adsorption of Cr(III) on TNTs. Moreover, the high activity of FeS-TNTs in reduction of Cr(VI) can maintain at high oxicity or alkalinity of its solution. The synergistic effect between FeS and TNTs was derived from sheltering of FeS NPs from their self-aggregation, O 2 -oxidation and the affinity of Cr(III) to TNTs. The unique properties, e.g. the solid acidity, the hollow and interlayered configuration of TNTs played important roles in high activity, good stability and reusability of FeS-TNTs.

Efficient and economical reduction and elimination of co-pollution of vanadium (V) and chromium (Cr) from water sources is a major challenge. In this study, sulphate green rust (GR SO4 ) was successfully prepared by co-precipitation method and used for the removal of V(V) and Cr(VI). The findings from batch adsorption experiments indicated that the adsorption capacity of GR SO4 for V(V) and Cr(VI) individually was 30.66 mg⋅g −1 and 39.48 mg⋅g −1 , respectively, with equilibrium reached in 25 min and 10 min. Intriguingly, in a binary system with both V(V) and Cr(VI) present, the time to reach adsorption equilibrium for V(V) removal by GR SO4 was 30 % shorter comparison to the single system under identical conditions. By analyzing the surface characteristics, crystal structure and elemental valence changes of GR SO4 minerals before and after the reaction, it can be obtained that: i) Direct adsorption mainly drives the removal of V(V) by GR SO4 , whereas the removal of Cr(VI) is preceded by reduction and followed by adsorption. ii) In a binary coexistence system, the formation of Fe(III)-Cr(III) oxide (GR-Cr(III)) during the removal of Cr(VI) by GR SO4 formed during the removal of Cr(VI) by GR SO4 creates additional adsorption sites for V(V), which shortens the equilibrium time of the V(V) removal reaction by GR SO4 and reduces the amount of V(V) leached. These findings are of great practical significance for understanding the mechanism and practical application of GR SO4 in the synergistic removal of V(V) and Cr(VI) heavy metals and provide valuable insights into their geophysical-chemical cycling.

A new Ag/Cu metal-organic nanozyme with MOF-like features was developed. • Dual ligands and Ag/Cu co-incorporation enable dual enzyme-mimicking activities. • “Kill two birds with one stone”: one nanozyme discriminates Cr(III) and Cr(VI). • Orthogonal channels allow direct Cr(III)/Cr(VI) quantification without subtraction. • Smartphone-assisted analysis enables chromium speciation in river water. Chromium predominantly exists as Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in aquatic environments, which differ markedly in physicochemical properties and toxicity. Rapid and direct discrimination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) remains challenging because conventional chromium speciation methods often require redox pretreatment, multiple recognition elements, or indirect calculation. Herein, a new Ag/Cu-containing metal-organic nanozyme with MOF-like structural characteristics (Ag-BC@Cu) was developed. Ag-BC@Cu exhibited laccase-like and peroxidase-like activities and was used to construct an orthogonal colorimetric sensor for discrimination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI). Cr(III) selectively inhibited the laccase-like pathway, whereas Cr(VI) enhanced the peroxidase-like pathway, producing independent colorimetric responses at 510 and 652 nm, respectively. Generally, both chromium species were directly discriminated and quantified using a single nanozyme without redox pretreatment, multiple probes, or subtraction-based calculations. The detection limits of the orthogonal colorimetric sensor were 0.05 mg·L -1 for Cr(III) and 0.0047 mg·L -1 for Cr(VI). Smartphone-assisted analysis further enabled portable visual detection of chromium speciation. The colorimetric sensor exhibited good selectivity and was successfully applied to river-water samples, with results consistent with LC-ICP-MS. This work provides a simple “kill two birds with one stone” strategy for chromium speciation, with potential for portable water-quality monitoring. A dual enzyme-mimicking Ag-BC@Cu nanozyme enabled the orthogonal colorimetric detection of Cr(III) and Cr(VI). Cr(III) selectively inhibited the laccase-like activity, whereas Cr(VI) enhanced the peroxidase-like activity, enabling successful application to river-water samples.

A novel polyaniline–polypyrrole functionalized SiO2-coated magnetic graphene oxide composite (MGO/SiO2@PANI–PPy) was prepared as a new magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) adsorbent for separation and pre-concentration of chromium (Cr) and lead (Pb) at trace levels in food and environmental water samples followed by the use of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the nanocomposite. Various parameters affecting the extraction yield of heavy metals were optimized using a Box–Behnken design (BBD) through the response surface methodology (RSM). Under optimum conditions, the limits of detection (LODs) were 4.808 ng L−1 for Cr(III) and 3.401 ng L−1 for Pb(II) with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of less than 5% (n = 6). Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacities of this new sorbent were 188.9 and 213.3 mg g−1 for Cr(III) and Pb(II), respectively. Finally, the developed method was successfully applied for determination of trace Cr(III) and Pb(II) in rice, milk, wine and environmental water samples with recoveries within 95.4–105%.
