Lead ions in water are harmful to human health and ecosystems because of their high toxicity and nondegradability. It is important to explore effective fluorescence probes for Pb2+detection. In this work, surface-functionalized molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS2QDs) were prepared using a hydrothermal method, and ammonium tetrathiomolybdate and glutathione were used as precursors. The photoluminescence quantum yield of MoS2QDs can be improved to 20.4%, which is higher than that for MoS2QDs reported in current research. The as-prepared MoS2QDs demonstrate high selectivity and sensitivity for Pb2+ions, and the limit of detection is 0.056 μM. The photoluminescence decay dynamics for MoS2QDs in the presence of Pb2+ions in different concentrations indicate that the fluorescence quenching originated from nonradiative electron transfer from excited MoS2QDs to the Pb2+ion. The prepared MoS2QDs have great prospect and are expected to become a good method for lead ion detection.Keywords:molybdenum disulfide;quantum dots;lead ion;fluorescence probe

Phytoremediation is currently a very popular remediation method for salvaging rare earth mining sites. However, there is still a challenge concerning how to use secondary resources such as plant biomass following the extraction of rare earth elements (REEs). Herein, Dicranopteris pedata (Houtt.) Nakaike, a REEs hyperaccumulator, served to fabricate REEs-rich carbonisation materials (REEs/C) at different temperatures. The results showed that the percentages of Pb(II) removed using REEs/C prepared at 400 °C (REEs/C-4) and 800 °C (REEs/C-8) were 85.1% and 84.0%, respectively. These amounts were better than that of REEs-C prepared at 600 °C (REEs/C-6 (67.0%)). Characterisation analysis confirmed that rich functional groups like aromatic, hydroxyl and C = C/C-C in REEs/C-4 provided more chelation sites to effectively complex with Pb(II), while the superior removal capacity of REEs/C-8 resulted from the enrichment of more REEs and abundant pore structure. Chemisorption, such as ion exchange and chelation, plays a significant role in adsorption. During the carbonisation process of REEs/C, the REEs enriched in Dicranopteris pedata contributed to the formation of rare earth oxides and oxygen vacancies in the material, and these properties enhanced the Pb removal ability of REEs/C. Moreover, the REEs contained in the material did not cause a leaching phenomenon during Pb removal, which is a safe and environmentally friendly material. Finally, the REEs/C was applied to wastewater, and it was found that this material could effectively adsorb Pb from wastewater. Overall, this study generates a new insight into: firstly, how to use phytoextracted biomass containing REEs as valuable REEs/C materials; and secondly, how to save the environment by using technology that promotes recycling of used materials.

Despite extensive study, geochemical modeling often fails to accurately predict lead (Pb) immobilization in environmental samples. This study employs the Charge Distribution MUlti-SIte Complexation (CD-MUSIC) model, X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), and density functional theory (DFT) to investigate mechanisms of phosphate (PO4) induced Pb immobilization on metal (hydr)oxides. The results reveal that PO4 mainly enhances bidentate-adsorbed Pb on goethite via electrostatic synergy at low PO4 concentrations. At relatively low pH (below 5.5) and elevated PO4 concentrations, the formation of the monodentate-O-sharing Pb-PO4 ternary structure on goethite becomes important. Precipitation of hydropyromorphite (Pb5(PO4)3OH) occurs at high pH and high concentrations of Pb and PO4, with an optimized log Ksp value of −82.02. The adjustment of log Ksp compared to that in the bulk solution allows for quantification of the overall Pb-PO4 precipitation enhanced by goethite. The CD-MUSIC model parameters for both the bidentate Pb complex and the monodentate-O-sharing Pb-PO4 ternary complex were optimized. The modeling results and parameters are further validated and specified with XAFS analysis and DFT calculations. This study provides quantitative molecular-level insights into the contributions of electrostatic enhancement, ternary complexation, and precipitation to phosphate-induced Pb immobilization on oxides, which will be helpful in resolving controversies regarding Pb distribution in environmental samples.

In order to develop a highly efficient method for direct removal of lead from acidic wastewater (pH 2.0), we introduce a novel highly ordered Pb2+ imprinted mesoporous silica (PbIMS) SBA-15 combining co-condensation and functionalized iminodiacetic acid (IDA). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis provided the components of PbIMS. The solid-state 13C NMR spectra demonstrated the successful embedment of IDA in the mesoporous silica. Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis confirmed that Pb2+ was coordinated by the N atom and carboxyl O atom of IDA. The results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), small angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) and N2 adsorption–desorption measurement confirmed that the PbIMS preserved a highly ordered hexagonal P6mm mesostructure. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area was 762 m2 g−1. The saturated adsorption capacity of PbIMS toward lead reached up to 103 mg g−1 at pH 2.0, which was greater even than that of the simply modified SBA-15 by IDA at pH 4.5. The values of selectivity coefficients of PbIMS for six competing metal ions ranged from 67.3 to 12.7. The adsorption of Pb2+ reached equilibrium within 7 min. The adsorption efficiency of PbIMS was above 93% after six extraction–stripping cycles. The investigation conducted with real samples of strongly acidic wastewater demonstrated the ability of PbIMS to efficiently remove lead below the current China regulatory standard.

To systematically investigate the presence of toxic heavy metals and evaluate the potential health risks of heavy metals (HMs), the levels of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), and chromium (Cr) in a total of 4401 representative samples of highly consumed fresh vegetables sampled from 21 prefecture-level cities of Guangdong Province, China, were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In the analyzed vegetables, the heavy metal concentrations exceeded the maximum allowable concentrations (MACs) set by Chinese legislation were of 2.41% for Cd, 1.61% for Pb, 0.55% for As, and 0.48% for Cr. The concentrations of HMs indicated significant differences ( p < 0.05) in vegetable groups and regions. Cd, and Pb were the major contaminants in vegetables according to the results of principal component analysis. During the four-year survey, a temporary rising trend was observed in As and Cr. The results from hierarchical cluster analysis also demonstrated that the status of HMs contaminations in vegetables from various regions displayed certain changes over time. The health risks associated with the intake of these HMs via vegetable consumption were evaluated in term of estimated daily intake (EDI), and noncarcinogenic and carcinogenic risks by target hazard quotient (THQ) and carcinogenic risk (CR). EDI values of each HM at both common and high consumption levels were observed to be less than the corresponding provisional tolerable daily intakes. The THQs of individual HMs and total target hazard quotients (TTHQs) were less than 1, indicating low health hazards for local residents. However, high consumption of stalk and stem vegetables, leafy vegetables , and root and tuber vegetables, and high consumption of vegetables marketed in the northern region (NR) of Guangdong Province resulted in TTHQs that approach 1 and may cause health risks to increase. The carcinogenic risks (CRs) of Cd, Pb and As were below the threshold level (10 −6 ) or residual level (10 −4 ), suggesting low potential CR from these HM exposures via vegetables consumption. However, highly consumed vegetable categories with high Cd concentrations and vegetables marketed in NR resulted in the CRs of Cd and TCRs exceeding the acceptable range, indicating that serious potential carcinogenic risks to human health may exist. In summary, the findings of this study reveal safe exposures of HMs via vegetable consumption, however, great concern should be focused on the noncarcinogenic and carcinogenic risks associated with high exposures of HMs, especially Cd, Pb and As, via high vegetable intake.

The diamagnetic performance of GeS2-Ga2S3 and GeS2-Ga2S3-PbI2 chalcogenide glasses were investigated, and the composition, wavelength and temperature dependences of the Verdet constant were discussed in detail. It indicates that the contributions to the Verdet constant for each kind of ion are in the order of VPb>VGa>VGe in these chalcogenide glasses, and the Becquerel rule is proved to be an effective guidance for predicting the Verdet constant value. A large Verdet constant is obtained in 68GeS2·17Ga2S3·15PbI2 composition glass and the value is 0.230 min·G−1·cm−1 at 635nm, which is greatly larger than those of commercial diamagnetic glasses. Besides, the temperature coefficient of Verdet constant can be regarded as a constant between 278 and 368 K, indicating these chalcogenide glasses are good candidates for magneto-optical devices in temperature instability conditions.

The Cs2SnX6perovskites have attracted much attention due to excellent optoelectronic properties and high stability. In the present work, we have focused on the morphology control and photoluminescence characteristics of the Cs2SnCl6perovskite crystals. The synthesis process of the Cs2SnCl6crystals includes two stages composed of the formation of initial crystals and the growth of Cs2SnCl6; the later originated from the oxidization of CsSnCl3. This process has been confirmed by Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-rays diffraction (XRD). By controlling the concentration of the initial reactants and hydrochloric acid in the solution to change the supersaturation of the solution, different crystal morphologies, such as truncated octahedron, octahedron, hexapod, quasi-sphere, have been obtained. In relatively a low supersaturation solution, the amount of growth units dominates the crystal growth process to obtain the hexapod and self-assembly crystals. In contrast, in relatively high supersaturation solution, nucleation predominates to yield small size truncated octahedrons and near-spherical Cs2SnCl6crystals. The synthesized Cs2SnCl6crystals have shown a wide emission band peaking at 450 nm with full width at half maximum (FWHM) 63 nm due to the defects introduced by Sn2+. The photoluminescence intensities of crystals synthesized at various conditions exhibited considerable difference, which was about 60 times between the highest and the lowest.Keywords:lead-free perovskite;Cs2SnCl6;crystal growth;photoluminescence

Electric arc furnace dust (EAFD), an important secondary resource, is categorized as hazardous solid waste which contains multiple heavy metals such as zinc, lead and chromium. Smelting-Reduction is considered as an effective method to recover metal elements from EAFD. To efficiently separate the zinc, lead, iron and slag from EAFD, a novel and clean process developed to enhance reduction and lower smelting temperature through sodium carbonate was proposed herein. Thermodynamic analysis and laboratory experiments were carried out to determine the feasibility and reliability of this new process. The optimal conditions were determined as temperature of 1450 °C, sodium carbonate dosage of 4%, C/O of 0.8, holding time of 30 min and basicity of 0.8, and the corresponding volatilization of Zn and Pb could be 99.78% and 89.47% respectively; besides, the reduction of iron could reach 98.98%. Simultaneously, the recovery of iron reached 98.62% and the grade of iron amounted to 93.8%. The melting reduction process of zinc, lead and iron could be divided into three stages according to both the experimental results and the thermodynamic analysis. The short process which is characteristic of high efficiency and low energy consumption, aims to provide a clean and sustainable approach to utilize EAFD.

A low-cost alginate-melamine hybrid sorbent (named as Alg-Mel) was designed and synthesized for the removal of Pb2+from water. The as-prepared Alg-Mel sorbent exhibited high affinity and selectivity to Pb2+. The selectivity coefficients of the Alg-Mel for Pb2+/Cd2+, Pb2+/Cu2+, Pb2+/Cr3+and Pb2+/Co2+were all over 7. It is found that the hybrid sorbent could uptake 95.4% of Pb2+from Pb2+-containing solutions (0.48 mM), and the maximum adsorption capacity for Pb2+reaches 1.39 mmol/g (287.7 mg/g), which is much higher than that of most reported lead ion-sorbents. Furthermore, the Alg-Mel can be regenerated by a simple acid-washing process and used repeatedly. The results of adsorption mechanism analysis reveal that the adsorption of Pb2+by Alg-Mel is mainly ascribed to the chemical coordination and ion exchange effects.Keywords:adsorption;alginate;adsorbent;lead ion;wastewater

A simple and environmental friendly oxoacetohydrazide functionalization method is developed to convert the straw cellulose into high performance adsorbents for effective Pb(II) removal. The adsorption experimental results demonstrated that the resultant oxoacetohydrazide-modified cellulose (OMC) possesses a dramatically improved Pb(II) adsorption capacity (82.9 mg/g), which is over six times of that for the unmodified celluloses (13.6 mg/g). The mechanistic studies confirm that the markedly enhanced Pb(II) adsorption capability of OMC can be attributed to the formation of N-Pb-N bonds resulting from the strong chelating interactions of Pb(II) with oxoacetohydrazide. Also, the OMC shows an excellent reusability, capable of retain 95% of its original Pb(II) adsorption capacity after three consecutive adsorption cycles. The findings of this work pave a way to transform the agricultural byproducts into high performance functional materials. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016 , 133 , 42950.

All inorganic lead halide cesium perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have attracted much attention due to their excellent luminescence properties, but further development is restricted by their stability and the existence of toxic element lead. In this paper, F/Mn-doped CsPb ( Br / Cl ) 3 QDs glass was prepared by melt quenching and heat treatment, with reduced Pb content effectively. The result shows that the spectrum of the QD glass is adjustable between 450 nm and 515.4 nm by changing the feeding ratio of Mn-Pb ion and heat treatment temperature. Moreover, the indraught of Mn 2 + effectively improves the PLQY of CsPb ( Br / Cl ) 3 QDs glass and serves as a red-emitting. The prepared composites not only maintain good fluorescence characteristics, but also greatly improve the stability of QDs. And successfully coupled with blue LED chips to synthesize WLED, Under 20 mA current, the color coordinate is (0.3446, 0.3389).

This study aims to improve the applicability of green-synthesized nano zero-valent iron (GT-nZVI) for wastewater treatment under natural pH conditions by developing a novel -nZVI composite stabilized with polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) and green tea polyphenols (GT-nZVI@PSS) at different PSS/Fe mass ratios (0.01–0.5) for Pb(II) removal. Particular emphasis was placed on elucidating the influences of humic acid (HA) and sulfate ubiquitous constituents in wastewaters on Pb(II) removal performance, with the underlying mechanisms of their effects systematically clarified. Results demonstrated that GT-nZVI@PSS (PSS/Fe = 0.05) exhibited excellent Pb(II) removal at neutral pH, primarily driven by enhanced Pb(II) reduction and Pb 0 precipitation. This performance is mainly attributed to improved dispersibility resulting from the synergistic effects of PSS and tea polyphenols on the particle surface. HA and sulfate exerted opposing effects on Pb(II) removal by GT-nZVI@PSS. At low concentrations, HA enhanced Pb(II) uptake by increasing the surface negative charge, improving particle dispersion, and providing additional active sites for the formation of Fe–HA/Pb complexes. In contrast, sulfate inhibited Pb(II) removal by disrupting the polyphenol coating and forming surface sulfate–iron species and PbSO 4 precipitates, thereby accelerating passivation and reducing Fe release. However, at high concentrations, excessive HA molecules formed large aggregates that enveloped the particle surfaces, ultimately hindering Pb(II) access to the active sites of GT-nZVI@PSS. Conversely, high concentrations of sulfate promoted GT-nZVI@PSS corrosion, facilitating Fe 0 release and thereby enhancing Pb(II) removal. These findings highlight the crucial role of water matrix constituents in modulating the performance of GT-nZVI@PSS, as an eco-friendly and cost-effective material.
