Article Abstract
This research study shows the adsorptive potential of biopolymer based nanocomposite for the removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous phase. The nanocomposite was synthesized by Femur calcined hydroxyapatite and glutaraldehyde cross-linked chitosan. Characterizations like Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were performed to investigate the structural modifications, mineral composition and the surface texture of prepared nanocomposite. The adsorption of Pb(II) ions over nanocomposite reveals that the synthesized solid sorbent has promising abatement tendency for heavy metal ions. The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics and the equilibrium data of lead ions adsorption was best fitted to Sips isotherm model. The uptake capacity of synthesized nanocomposite increased from 209 mg/g to 354 mg/g with rise in temperature from 18 °C to 48 °C. The thermodynamic analysis suggested that the Pb(II) ions adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. Additionally, enthalpy of adsorption (~22.07 KJ/mol) indicated that the heavy metal ions were chemisorbed over nanocomposite surface. Adsorption of Pb increased about ~1.6 times in the observed pH range and highest uptake was obtained at pH 5.

Herein, ball-milled magnetic biochar-vermiculite composite (MBC@VT) and ball-milled magnetic biochar-zeolite composite (MBC@ZT) were synthesized via one-step ball-milling, and their adsorption capacities for Pb(II)/P-nitrophenol (PNP) in water were compared. The results demonstrated that the removal of Pb(II) and PNP through both materials was a complex, endothermic reaction mainly driven by chemisorption, with strong tolerance to pH changes and co-existing ions. MBC@VT showed superior adsorption for Pb(II) (reaching 367.

Remediation of heavy metal pollution is essential for safeguarding ecological integrity and public health. The present work aimed to prepare a novel biochar from leaves (EC-biochar) for the effective removal of Cd and Pb cations, as representative heavy metals, from aqueous solutions. The adsorption performance of Cd and Pb cations by EC-biochar was assessed by varying different operating parameters ( pH, temperature, EC-biochar dose, adsorption time, and adsorbate concentration).

This study assessed the health risks of heavy metal contamination in groundwater in Siwa Oasis, Egypt's northwestern desert, and their potential decontamination using a marble-based nanoporous Ca-MCM-41 structure as an adsorbent. Fe, Cd, Cr, Pb, and Mn contents exceeded World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines with potential non-carcinogenic risks and carcinogenic risks based on the hazard index (HI) and Monte Carlo simulations. Ca-MCM-41 showed significant performances in the removal of most of these toxic ions with batch saturation uptake capacities of 239 mg/g Cd(II), 252 mg/g Fe(II), 308 mg/g Pb(II), 132 mg/g Cr(VI), and 154.

The state of the art in the thermodynamics of calix[4]resorcinarene derivatives and its metal ion complexes is briefly discussed in the introduction. This is followed by the synthesis and characterization of a recyclable calix[4]resorcinarene amide derivative (L). The 1H NMR analyses in CD3CN and CD3OD showed solvent-dependent conformational changes with a notable downfield chemical shift in the aromatic proton (H-2) in moving from deuterated methanol to acetonitrile, indicating an interaction of the solvent within the ligand cavity as suggested by molecular dynamic simulations.

The present study focuses on the synthesis of coconut shell-derived biochar (BC), molybdenum disulfide (MoS), and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) (BC/MoS/PAA) composite. The composite was synthesized a simple hydrothermal method. The structural and morphological features of the resulting composite were thoroughly characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface analysis, and Raman spectroscopy.
