Graphene-based aerogels with a three-dimensional interconnected network were fabricated via the hydrothermal self-assembly and thermal-annealing process. The aerogels were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy and atomic absorption spectroscopy. The graphene-based aerogels showed highly porous structure and adsorption capacity for heavy metal ions. Thus, they would be the promising materials for removal of heavy metal ions from water.

In wastewater treatment, the removal of heavy metals is difficult due to the limited affinity of heavy metal ions to ion exchange resins. Here imprinting polymerization is used to develop resins with high capacity and selectivity for heavy metal ions for water treatment. A random copolymer of methacrylate and methacrylamide was found to be most effective for the removal of hydrophilic metal complexes, like CdCl2, ZnCl2, and the metalloid NaH2AsO4, particularly when the porosity of these resins is increased. For hydrophobic complexes imprinting emulsion polymerization was developed and data for the effective removal of mercury dithizonate will be described. Complete removal for up to 80 ppm of cadmium and mercury with only 200 mg of imprinted resin was obtained; competition and co-imprinting experiments are described as well.

Abstract The spectral and charged characteristics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in municipal sewage secondary effluent influenced by heavy metal ions were studied by three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectrometry, etc. As the Cu(II) concentration increased, the fluorescence intensity of the DOM's fluorescence peak reduced. When the Cu(II) concentration was 100 μmol/L, the fluorescence intensity of the humic-like acid in the DOM reduced by 19.5%–27.6%. However, there was no obvious change in the fluorescence intensity when Cd(II) was added. According to the modified Stern–Volmer equation, the conditional stability constant lgK and the proportion of the fluorescent functional groups of the DOM binding with Cu(II) were 2.19–2.69 and 16%–48%, respectively. The UV253/UV203 value changed little with the additional dosage of metal ions below 10 μmol/L, which increased as the concentration of Cu(II) or Pb(II) increased from 10–100 μmol/L. As the metal concentrations increase, the absolute values of the Zeta potential and the particle sizes of the DOM basically increased. The results showed that Cu(II) had the strongest binding ability to the groups that emitted fluorescence in the secondary effluent DOM compared to Pb(II) and Cd(II).
