Article Abstract
Environmentally benign mechanochemistry-assisted high-yielding synthesis of fluorescein-phenylalaninol (FPA) conjugates as a Schiff base receptor is reported herein. This newly synthesized fluorescent probe is found to be most exciting and efficient because of its simultaneous detection and removal of mercury ions (Hg) in aqueous medium and industrial effluents through precipitate formation. The receptor successfully worked as a chemosensor in selectively sensing the Hg ion through the rapid transition from yellow to pink in the colorimetric as well as quenching of fluorescence intensity in the fluorometric assay. The removal of mercury ions was confirmed by the inductively coupled plasma analysis of the supernatant. The lower detection limit of Hg ions for the receptor FPA is 1.65 and 0.34 μM as determined through absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic methods, respectively. The high removal efficiency (∼98%) of the mercury ions is promising and could be achieved via the formation of the complex in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio of receptor to Hg ions. Furthermore, this probe may be a practical alternative for use in a paper-based portable device for achieving on-site detection of mercury ions in solid, solution, and vapor phases.

We report a novel and highly effective UV-Vis sensing platform based on plasmonic copper (II) sulfide-capsulated polystyrene nanoparticles (PS@CuS NPs) for the rapid, ultrasensitive, and selective detection of Hg . The detection mechanism is driven by a specific anion-exchange reaction between Hg and CuS, resulting in the in-situ transformation of plasmonic CuS into non-plasmonic HgS, which induces a distinct and quantifiable shift in UV-Vis absorption. This structural and optical evolution enables the platform to achieve an exceptionally low detection limit of 20 pM within just 5 min, far below most regulatory thresholds, and a wide linear detection range from 20 pM to 30 nM.

Mercury(II) ions (Hg) are one of the most common and highly toxic heavy metal ions, which can contaminate the environment and damage the human health. Therefore, the precise detection of trace Hg concentration is particularly important. Herein, gold nanoparticles-enhanced silver-coated hollow fiber (HF) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor was developed for the highly sensitive detection of Hg ions.

In recent years, the increase in industrial and agricultural activities has heightened concerns about heavy metal pollution. In vitro conditions are an important tool for determining the optimum and toxic amounts of heavy metals and for evaluating plant species, especially those that are difficult to germinate, against unfavorable soil conditions. Therefore, this study evaluated heavy metal toxicity by applying different Hg (0.

Adsorption is a promising technique with significant potential for water purification. In this context, the present study examines the adsorption efficiency of poly(6-(ethoxybenzothiazole acrylamide) (PEBTA) in removing high-valent metal ions from aqueous environments, such as Th(IV), As(V), and Hg(II). Structural and chemical characterization of PEBTA is carried out by FT-IR, H-NMR, C-NMR, TGA, SEM, and EDAX.

In this study, the water quality index (WQI) was calculated using multivariate statistics, incorporating physical, chemical, and microbiological analysis of water samples taken from water supply networks in the western district of Tehran from 2021 to 2024. The principal drinking water parameters such as pH, total hardness, turbidity, lead (Pb), chloride (Cl), fluoride (F), total dissolved solids (TDS), sulfate (SO), nitrate (NO), nitrite (NO), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), fecal coliform and total residual chlorine (Ch) were selected according to Iranian national water standards. The WQI index was predicted using various machine learning algorithms, including multiple linear regression (MLR), support vector machine (SVM) regression, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), Random Forest (RF) regression, multilayer perceptron (MLP), and Kolmogorov-Arnold networks (KAN).
