Sustainable ligand-modified based composite material for the selective and effective cadmium(II) capturing from wastewater

Md. Munjur Hasan et al.

Summary: The chemical ligand BSBAE was embedded indirectly on mesoporous silica to fabricate optical composite materials (OCM) for detecting and removing toxic cadmium (Cd(II)) ions from wastewater solutions. The OCM demonstrated high sensitivity and selectivity towards Cd(II) ions in acidic pH conditions (pH 3.50) and showed distinguishable color changes upon the addition of trace levels of Cd(II) ions. Other metal ions did not significantly affect the performance of the OCM, which had a detection limit of 0.32 μg/L and a maximum adsorption capacity of 179.65 mg/g for Cd(II) ions. Cd(II) ions could be successfully desorbed from the saturated OCM using 0.25 M HCl, and the regenerated OCM maintained its selectivity and adsorption capacity. However, the adsorption efficiency slightly decreased after multiple cycles. Therefore, the OCM offers a cost-effective and viable alternative for detecting and removing toxic Cd(II) ions from wastewater.

Assessing sustainable Lutetium(III) ions adsorption and recovery using novel composite hybrid nanomaterials

Md Nazmul Hasan et al.

Summary: Organic ligand-based sustainable composite hybrid material (CMHs) was synthesized for the sensitive and selective adsorption of Lu(III) from waste samples. The adsorption of Lu(III) was influenced by solution pH, with slightly acidic conditions chosen for optimal separation and adsorption. Other metal ions did not interfere with Lu(III) adsorption due to the high affinity of Lu(III) to CMHs. The CMHs exhibited a high adsorption capacity and the adsorbed Lu(III) ions were easily eluted for regeneration.

Theoretical study on the mechanism of super-stable mineralization of LDHs in soil remediation

Xiao-Jie Zhao et al.

Summary: The problem of soil/water pollution by toxic heavy metals is becoming more prominent and poses a serious threat to human production and life. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been used as excellent mineralizers to form super-stable mineralization structures. This study investigates the driving force and mechanism of LDHs super-stable mineralization and the mineralization of heavy metal cations by Ca2Al-LDH through density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation methods. The results show that LDHs have a smaller solubility product than the corresponding hydroxides and carbonates, leading to their super-stable mineralization. The electrostatic binding mechanism is favored for the removal of heavy metal cations by LDHs, regardless of the introduction of vacancies.

Haoyuan Chi et al.

Summary: The research highlights the preparation of a stable CaFe-LDH stabilizer with high efficiency in removing nickel ions and exhibits great potential in removing nickel ions from real electroplating wastewater.

Detoxification and selective separation of Cr(VI) and As(III) in wastewater based on interfacial coupling in BiOBr with {110} facet under visible-light irradiation

Tong Li et al.

Summary: In this study, the distinct adsorption behaviors of As(III), As(V), and Cr(VI) on the {110} facet of BiOBr were investigated theoretically and experimentally. The results showed that As(III) was adsorbed on the surface of BiOBr, while Cr(VI) and As(V) preferred to intercalate on the {110} facet. The direct electron transfer between surface As(III) and interlayer Cr(VI) under photoexcitation was found to accelerate the synergic removal of Cr(VI) and As(III).
