This paper reports the synthesis of a solid adsorbent derived from degreasing cotton, and its metal ion removal ability in low concentration aqueous solution. In the first section of this paper, a novel synthetic strategy was reported for the introduction of an EDTA analog (aminoacetic acid) onto the surface of cotton fibers, resulting in a modified cotton adsorbent N,N-(dicarboxymethylaminoethyl,carboxymethyl)aminoethylamine carboxymethyl cotton amide. This material was characterized using 13C NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and SEM/EDS/EBSD. In the second section, the adsorption behavior of this material for the removal of Cu2+, Pb2+ and Cd2+ from aqueous solution was assessed and analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich models. Competitive ion adsorption and fixed-bed column adsorption experiments were carried out to evaluate its selective adsorption properties in mixed metal ion solutions using ICP spectroscopy. The results showed that this grafted cotton exhibited coordination properties similar to EDTA for the different metal ions, and that it exhibited selectivity and had good metal ion removal ability from low concentration solution. The maximum adsorption capacities for Cu2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+ were estimated to be 23.45 mg g−1, 34.7 mg g−1, and 66.93 mg g−1, respectively. Regeneration and adsorption experiments illustrated that this material had good renewable properties and could be used for multiple metal ion removal adsorption–regeneration–adsorption cycles. This material has great potential for application in the adsorption of toxic elements such as Cu2+, Cd2+, Pb2+ and other metal ions from aqueous solution.

Abstract Self-assembly of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide-protected colloidal gold nanorods with different aspect ratios has been studied by adding the ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). Both the assembly strength and assembly configuration fashion of the gold nanorods could be tuned by changing the aspect ratio. For gold nanorods with small aspect ratio, side-by-side assembly takes the major role in the aggregation. In this case, the blue shift of the longitudinal absorption and the increase of the transverse absorption lead to the great uplift of the middle spectrum dip as the EDTA is increased. For gold nanorods with large aspect ratio, end-to-end assembly takes the major role in the aggregation. In this case, the longitudinal absorption peak fades down rapidly and a tailing absorption peak at longer wavelength uplifts greatly as the EDTA is increased. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity of the assembled gold nanorods has been studied using alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) as the Raman active probe. It has been found that both the side-by-side assembly and end-to-end assembly of the gold nanorods could effectively improve the Raman signal of the AFP. And the gold nanorod substrate with side-by-side assembly has higher SERS activity. Graphical Abstract Side-by-side assembly of gold nanorods leads to the middle spectrum dip of LSPR uplift greatly as the EDTA is increased, which also effectively improves the SERS activity.

A pH-responsive carrier based on an ethylenediaminetetraacetic-calcium-alginate (EDTA-Ca-Alg) system was developed by controlling the release of Ca 2+ . The system remained in the solution state at neutral pH since EDTA completely chelated the Ca 2+ . In contrast, a hydrogel immediately formed when the pH was below 4.0, which triggered the in situ release of Ca 2+ from the EDTA-Ca compound and led to alginate-Ca binding. Taking advantage of the pH sensitivity, we prepared hydrogel microspheres with uniform size to entrap Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 53103 through emulsification. In an acidic environment, the hydrogel structure remained compact with negligible pores to protect L. rhamnosus ATCC 53103. However, in a neutral intestinal environment, the hydrogel structure gradually disassembled because of the Ca 2+ release from the hydrogel, which caused cell release. Therefore, a pH-responsive carrier was developed for the protection and the controlled release of cells in gastrointestinal tract, thus providing potential for oral delivery of probiotics.

In this study, the presence of Cu(II) ions was found for the first time to severely inhibit +-dimethyl phthalate (DMP) degradation by ozone due to the formation of the stable complex Cu(II)-DMP. However, 100% DMP removal was rapidly reached when ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) was added with a Cu(II)/EDTA molar ratio of 3:1. Subsequent studies indicated that Cu(II)-DMP is sequestrated by EDTA, then DMP was degraded and Cu(II) was removed by precipitation. The freshly formed Cu-EDTA 2− and organic nitrogen intermediates further decomposed O 3 into OH, which induced to the rapid degradation of DMP. The k obs of Cu-EDTA/O 3 were 9–10 times greater than the k obs of DMP removed by ozonation alone within 10 min. The reaction mechanism involved a OH generation was proposed. The OH and O 2 - are generated from the rapid reaction between ozone and EDTA. Acting as a more strongly negative species, the specific Cu(II) in Cu-EDTA complexes is more inclined to react with O 2 - to give Cu(I), accelerating the forward reaction to produce more OH. The synergistic removal of DMP and Cu(II) can be achieved after reaction. Therefore, this study provides an effective method to dispose metal ion and organic pollutant wastewater.

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) could form stable complexes with toxic metals such as nickel due to its strong chelation. The three-dimensional (3D) macroporous graphene aerogels (GA), which was in-situ assembled by reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets on titanium wire as binder-free electrode, was presented as cathode for the degradation of EDTA-Ni in Electro-Fenton process. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) results indicated 3D GA formed three dimensional architecture with large and homogenous macropore structure and surface area. Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) and Rotating Ring-disk Electrode (RRDE) results showed that the 3D GA cathode at pH 3 displayed the highest current density and electrochemical active surface area (ECSA), and better two-electron selectivity for ORR than other pH value, confirming the 3D-GA cathode at pH 3 has the highest electrocatalytic activity and generates more H 2 O 2 . The factors such as pH, applied current density, concentration of Fe 2+ , Na 2 SO 4, and aeration rates of air were also investigated. Under the optimum conditions, 73.5% of EDTA-Ni was degraded after reaction for 2 h. Mechanism analysis indicated that the production of OH on the 3D GA cathode played an important role in the removal of EDTA-Ni in the 3D GA-EF process, where the direct regeneration of Fe 2+ on the cathode would greatly reduce the consumption of H 2 O 2 . Therefore, it is of great promise for 3D-GA catalyst to be developed as highly efficient, cost-effective and durable cathode for the removal of EDTA-Ni.

SiO 2 aerogel is a typical thermal insulation material suitable for varied high temperature industrial applications. However, its radiative transparency seriously hampers its application scenario. Herein, we integrated infrared (IR) opacified Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles into silica aerogel system and developed a Fe 2 O 3 /SiO 2 composite aerogel (FSA) by using industrial water glass and ambient pressure drying process. Especially, we chelated Fe 3+ with disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic (EDTA-2Na) to avoid the loss of Fe 3+ in the gelling, solvent-exchanging and hydrophobic modification processes. FSA powders with 3–11% concentration exhibited an amorphous structure, high porosity with small nanopores (11–12 nm). The EDS analysis confirmed the presence of Fe in the aerogel samples. The high-temperature thermal insulation properties of the FSA powders were enhanced compared with the pure SiO 2 aerogel powders, yielding a cold surface temperature of 456 ℃ after heating at 600 ℃ for 30 min, 26 ℃ lower than pure SiO 2 aerogel. The EDTA-2Na chelating agent improved the dispersion of Fe 3+ and further reduced the temperature by 6 ℃, demonstrating its positive effect on the insulation performance.

Development of the portable device is significant for sensitive and rapid detection of an anthrax biomarker dipicolinic acid (DPA), existing in the B. anthracis . In this work, a novel HAp:Tb-EDTA paper-based ratiometric fluorescent sensor was obtained by a simple one-pot method for rapid and sensitive DPA detection. With the increased DPA concentration, the luminescence intensity of HAp (hydroxyapatite) remained constant, and thus applied as the stable reference signal, while the luminescence signal of Tb 3+ -EDTA was significantly enhanced due to the antenna effect. Therefore, the HAp:Tb-EDTA paper-based sensor was endowed with self-calibrated and ratiometric fluorescent detection performance for DPA. The proposed sensor showed excellent detection performance with a detection limit as low as 10.8 nM in the linear range of 0.5–30 μM. After combination with a smartphone, rapid visual and fluorescent detection of DPA was achieved. The proposed sensor was successfully applied to detect DPA from B. subtilis spore real samples, showing the application prospects of the paper-based sensors and opening a new horizon to develop novel paper-based point-of-care testing (POCT) devices.

To enhance the polarization distribution of electron cloud density on the catalyst surface, we have introduced a novel bimetallic-substituted dual-reaction center (DRC) catalyst (FeCo-γ-Al 2 O 3 ) comprising iron (Fe) and cobalt (Co) for the decomplexation and mineralization of heavy metal complex Ni-EDTA in this study. Compared to the catalysts doped solely with Fe or Co, the bimetal-doped catalyst offered several advantages, including enhanced electron cloud polarization distribution, additional electron transfer pathway, and improved capacity of free radical generation. Through DFT calculations and EPR tests, we have elucidated the influences of the catalyst's adsorption toward Ni-EDTA and its decomplexation products on the electron transfer between the pollutant and the catalyst. The competition between the pollutants and H 2 O 2 affects the generation of free radicals in both electron-rich Fe and Co centers as well as electron-deficient Al center. Building on these findings, we have proposed a plausible removal mechanism of Ni-EDTA using the heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst FeCo-γ-Al 2 O 3 . This study sheds light on the potential of FeCo-γ-Al 2 O 3 as a DRC catalyst and emphasizes the significance of pollutant characteristics in determining the catalyst's performance.

Wastewater containing heavy metals and organic dye pollutants discharged into receiving waters poses a serious environmental concern. Herein, a novel EDTA-chitosan/alginate porous composite bead adsorbent (EC–AB) was reported for the simultaneous removal of lead (Pb(II)) and methyl blue (MB) complexes from wastewater. Characterization results showed that EC–AB contained plenty of oxygen/nitrogen functional groups. The effect of CaCO3 addition, pH of the initial solution, contact time, initial pollutant concentration, and ionic strength on EC–AB pollutant removal performance and the adsorption mechanism were systematically analyzed. These findings indicated that EC–AB exhibited high removal efficiency over a wide pH range and at high ionic strength. The maximum adsorption capacities of EC–AB for Pb(II) and MB were 504.11 mg g−1 and 660.76 mg g−1, respectively, at 298 K. Adsorption kinetics and isotherm studies indicated that the adsorption well fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm. A possible adsorption mechanism involving electrostatic attraction, chelation, ion exchange, H-bonding and synergistic effects was proposed. Moreover, EC–AB showed superior stability and reusability, with removal efficiencies of 76.64% for Pb(II) and 80.29% for MB after five continuous adsorption–desorption cycles for treating complex wastewater. In summary, this work provides a beneficial strategy for designing high-performance adsorbents for the treatment of wastewater.

We report a successful fabrication of 0.6Ca 0.61 Nd 0.26 TiO 3 –0.4Nd(Zn 0.5 Ti 0.5 )O 3 (hereinafter abbreviated as 6CNT–4NCT) microwave ceramics with good sintering activity and desired dielectric properties from EDTA-gel combustion synthesized powders in this paper. The as-synthesized nanopowders have been characterized by X–ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformation infrared (FT–IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques, respectively. The sintering behavior and dielectric performance have been evaluated on the sintered ceramics. The as-obtained product with amorphous structure could be directly crystallized and produced pure 6CNT–4NCT solid solution phase with orthorhombic perovskite structure at a relatively low temperature of 700 °C, without formation of any intermediate phase. TEM images revealed that homogeneous and well dispersed spherical-shaped nanostructure with an average particle size of 23.8 nm was formed at 800 °C. Well-dense 6CNT–4NCT bulk ceramics with 98.8% relative density were obtained at a relatively low sintering temperature of 1225 °C due to high sintering activity of nanopowders. Moreover, the bulk ceramics exhibited a higher quality factor ( Q × f ) value than those prepared via the conventional solid-state reaction method. Desired microwave dielectric properties were achieved at 1200 °C: dielectric constant ε r = 57.2, Q × f = 59,360 GHz, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency τ f = + 1.95 ppm/°C. This study indicates that the EDTA-gel combustion route is a convenient, low-cost, and interesting route to fabricate high-quality microwave ceramics for practical applications.

Herein, we report a novel strategy for the fabrication of almond shell biochar-based materials containing highly dispersed graphene nanosheet structures by sequential treatment with hydrochloric acid and potassium ferrate. The resulting material serving as particle electrodes endowed the three-dimensional electrolysis system with excellent and stable Cu-ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (Cu-EDTA) decomplexation and mineralization ability, along with Cu(Ⅱ), chemical oxygen demand, and dissolved total organic carbon removal efficiencies of 96.8%, 92.5%, and 86.2%, respectively. In contrast to excess Cu(Ⅱ) or EDTA, the complete complexation between Cu(Ⅱ) and EDTA facilitated EDTA degradation. During the reaction, the adsorption toward Cu(Ⅱ), rather than EDTA, in the complexing system, alleviated the burden of electrochemical oxidation for Cu-EDTA decomplexation. This, together with direct and indirect electrocatalytic oxidation mediated by adsorbed hydroxyl radicals on the particle electrode surface, contributed to the enhanced removal of Cu-EDTA. Density functional theory calculations further demonstrated the main types of active sites and the importance of the graphene nanosheet structure of the particle electrodes. This work provides different perspectives on the electrocatalytic removal of heavy metal complexes.

Fe-based replacement and precipitation are promising methods for removal of copper ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Cu(II)-EDTA) but are limited by the necessity of controlling pH and dissolved oxygen. The details of the decomplexation mechanism also remain unclear. The present work investigated an anoxic iron electrocoagulation process capable of automatically modulating anoxic conditions and solution pH during exposure to air and thus promoting the rapid and thorough decomplexation of Cu(II)-EDTA. Dissolved Fe (II), rather than Fe(II)-bearing minerals, was found to be primarily responsible for the reduction of Cu(II)-EDTA to Cu(I)-EDTA and for the subsequent replacement reaction to generate free Cu(I) ions within the initial pH range of 2–7. The Cu(I) was primarily precipitated as Cu 2 O on the surface of green rust and magnetite as the pH was increased. The aeration of these Fe-containing precipitates released free Cu(I) ions instead of chelated Cu into solution, allowing for recycling of the Cu. This release of Cu(I) was likely induced by the pH decrease during aeration. This study provides important insights regarding the reductive decomplexation of chelated Cu(II) and the recovery of Cu via anoxic iron electrocoagulation, which is a promising green approach to recycling Cu from wastewater.
