Article Abstract
The removal of the hazardous Hg from aqueous solutions was studied by ion exchange using titanosilicate in sodium form (Na-ETS-4). Isothermal batch experiments at fixed pH were performed to measure equilibrium and kinetic data, considering two very distinct situations to assess the influence of competition effects: (i) the counter ions initially in solution are Na and Hg (both are exchangeable); (ii) the initial counter ions in solution are tetrapropylammonium (TPA) and Hg (only Hg is exchangeable, since TPA is larger than the ETS-4 micropores). The results confirmed that ETS-4 is highly selective for Hg, with more than 90% of the mercury being exchanged from the fluid phase. The final equilibrium attained under the presence of TPA or Na in solution was very similar, however, the Hg/Na/ETS-4 system in the presence of Na required more 100 h to reach equilibrium than in the presence of TPA. The Hg/Na/ETS-4 system was modelled and analyzed in terms of equilibrium (mass action law) and mass transfer (Maxwell-Stefan (MS) formalism). Concerning equilibrium, no major deviations from ideality were found in the range of studied concentrations. On the other hand, the MS based model described successfully (average deviation of 5.81%) all kinetic curves of mercury removal.

Japonica is considered one of the better tasting varieties, so it is important to balance the quality and taste of japonica rice produced by moderate processing. This study analyzed the changes in bioactive components, heavy metal elements, and sensory quality of northern japonica rice after gradient milling, and constructed a comprehensive quality evaluation model for japonica rice with different degrees of milling. The results showed that as the degree of milling (DOM) increased from 0% to 10%, the bioactive components in japonica rice decreased, with dietary fiber (3.

With mercury pollution causes serious threats to ecosystems and human health because of its extreme toxicity and bioaccumulation, the development of efficient removal technologies has become an urgent environmental priority. This study introduces a novel adsorbent thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole conjugated microporous polymer (TzTzCMP) for efficient Hg(II) removal from wastewater. TzTzCMP synthesized via condensation of dithiocarbamate and triformyl-phenol, exhibits a coral-like porous structure with a high specific surface area of 436.

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.

The present study investigates the use of waste foundry dust (WFD) as an effective microwave susceptor for the remediation of mercury (Hg)-contaminated soils. Two types of soils, carbonate-based and silicate-based were treated using conventional thermal desorption and microwave-assisted heating. The removal efficiency of Hg was evaluated in relation to soil composition, organic content, and heating method.

Adsorbent injection is the most promising technology for solving anthropogenic mercury (mainly Hg) emission from stationary sources. Carbon-based adsorbents have strong potential for Hg removal due to their high specific surface area and abundant functional groups. However, traditional experimental methods focus on a single adsorbent under specific mercury removal conditions, making it difficult to obtain universal influencing laws and optimal preparation methods for the adsorbents.
