A new tetra triazole functionalized calix[4]resorcinarene macrocycle (5) is synthesized and utilized for the detection of copper ions in the aqueous medium. The photophysical potential of compound (5) is examined by a range of cations (Ba2+, Ca2+, Co2+, Hg2+, K+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Na+, NH4 + and Pd2+). The triazole based calix[4]resorcinarene macrocycle (5) has interacted with Cu2+ ion in preference of other cations. A significant quenching has been observed after the addition of 15 μM Cu2+ ion solution, which produced 4.2 folds drift in the absorption intensity of compound (5). Tetra triazole functionalized calix[4]resorcinarene macrocycle showed high selectivity towards copper ion chemosensing without any interference in competitive studies. The pH studies of compound (5) with Cu2+ indicated the maximum chelation between 7- 7.5 pH. The compound (5) is capable to recognize Cu2+ at 1 μM detectable limit. Copper ion was detected in tap water with 15 μM concentration. Job’s plot showed 1:2 binding ratio between macrocycle (5) and Cu2+.

Cuprous oxide nanoparticles (Cu2ONPs) were used for preparing composites with linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) by co-extrusion, thermal adhesion, and attachment using ethyl cyanoacrylate, trimethoxyvinylsilane, and epoxy resin. The composites were examined by Scanning electron microscope and tested for their antibacterial activity against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli. All of these composites—except for the one obtained by extrusion—eradicated cells of both bacteria within half an hour. The composite prepared by thermal adhesion of Cu2ONPs on LLDPE had the highest external exposure of nanoparticles and exhibited the highest activity against the bacteria. This composite and the one obtained using ethyl cyanoacrylate showed no leaching of copper ions into the aqueous phase. Copper ion leaching from composites prepared with trimethoxyvinylsilane and epoxy resin was very low. The antibacterial activity of the composites can be rated as follows: obtained by thermal adhesion > obtained using ethyl cyanoacrylate > obtained using trimethoxyvinylsilane > obtained using epoxy resin > obtained by extrusion. The composites with the highest activity are potential materials for tap water and wastewater disinfection.

Due to the use of copper water pipes and the discharge of industrial wastewater, contamination of copper ions in drinking water has become a severe hazard globally. To routinely check water safety on a daily basis, easy-to-use platforms for quantitative analysis of trace amounts of copper ions (Cu2+) in drinking water is needed. Here, we report microfluidic particle accumulation integrated with a Cu(II)-catalyzed Fenton reaction for visual and quantitative copper ion detection. Microparticles (MMPs) and polystyrene microparticles (PMPs) are connected via a single strand DNA, MB155. However, when Cu2+ is present, MB155 is cleaved by hydroxyl free radicals (•OH) produced from Cu2+/hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) Fenton reactions, causing an increased amount of free PMPs. To visually count them, the particle solution is loaded onto a microfluidic chip where free MMPs and MMPs–MB155–PMPs can be collected by the magnetic separator, while the free PMPs continue flowing until being accumulated at the particle dam. The results showed a good linear relationship between the trapping length of PMP accumulation and the Cu2+ concentration from 0 to 300 nM. A limit of detection (LOD) of 70.1 nM was achieved, which is approximately 449 times lower than the 2 × 103 μg·L−1 (~31.5 μM) required by the World Health Organization (WHO). Moreover, the results showed high selectivity and good tolerance to pH and hardness, indicating compatibility for detection in tap water, suggesting a potential platform for the routine monitoring of copper contamination in drinking water.

The optical characteristics of copper ion detection, such as the photometric absorbance of specific wavelengths, exhibit significant intensity change upon incident light into the aqueous solutions with different concentrations of metal ions due to the electron transition in the orbit. In this study, we developed a low-cost, small-size and fast-response photoelectric sensing prototype as an optic sensor for copper (Cu) ions detection by utilizing the principle of optical absorption. We quantified the change of optical absorbance from infra-red (IR) light emitting diodes (LEDs) upon different concentrations of copper ions and the transmitted optical signals were transferred to the corresponding output voltage through a phototransistor and circuit integrated in the photoelectric sensing system. The optic sensor for copper (Cu) ions demonstrated not only excellent specificity with other metal ions such as cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe) and chloride (Cl) ions in the same aqueous solution but also satisfactory linearity and reproducibility. The sensitivity of the preliminary sensing system for copper ions was 29 mV/ppm from 0 to 1000 ppm. In addition, significant ion-selective characteristics and anti-interference capability were also observed in the experiments by the proposed approach.

Heavy metals greatly influence animal physiology, even at small doses. Among these metals, the copper ion is of great concern due to its effects on humans and wide applications in industry. Compared to atomic absorption spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, which destroy the samples that are analyzed, optical techniques do not decompose the analyte and have become a popular field of recent research. In this paper, we combined a novel optical detector that did not require sample-labeling, called surface plasmon resonance (SPR), with chitosan to detect copper ions by modifying the functional groups of chitosan through pH modification. Compared to other optical detectors, the SPR system was relatively fast and involved fewer experimental confounding factors. The three-dimensional structure of chitosan was used to obtain lower detection limits. Moreover, modification of the chitosan functional groups resulted in efficient regeneration by controlling the pH. A detection limit of 0.1 μM was obtained (linear range: 0.5–10 μM, R2 = 0.976), and the specificity was certified by comparing the copper ion with six other ions. Additionally, we successfully regenerated the SPR chips by modifying the functional groups. In conclusion, the chitosan–SPR system detected copper ions with improved detection limits using a quick and simple regeneration method.

Abstract Our recently tailored and fully characterized poly (AN)-starch nanoparticle graft copolymer having 60.1 G.Y. % was used as a starting substrate for copper ions removal from waste water effluent after chemical modification with hydroxyl amine via oximation reaction. This was done to change the abundant nitrile groups in the above copolymer into amidoxime one and the resultant poly (amidoxime) resin was used as adsorbent for copper ions. The resin was characterized qualitatively via rapid vanadium ion test and instrumentally by FT-IR spectra and SEM morphological analysis to confirm the presence of amidoxime groups. The adsorption capacity of the resin was done using the batch technique, whereas the residual copper ions content in the filtrate before and after adsorption was measured using atomic adsorption spectrometry. It was found that the maximum adsorption capacity of poly (amidoxime) resin was 115.2 mg/g at pH 7, 400ppm copper ions concentration and 0.25 g adsorbent at room temperature. The adsorption, kinetics and isothermal study of the process is scrutinized using different variables, such as pH, contact time, copper ion concentration and adsorbent dosage. Different kinetics models comprising the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order have been applied to the experimental data to envisage the adsorption kinetics. It was found from kinetic study that pseudo-second-order rate equation was better than pseudo-first-order supporting the formation of chemisorption process. While, in case of isothermal study, the examination of calculated correlation coefficient (R2) values showed that the Langmuir model provide the best fit to experimental data than Freundlich one.

Abstract Carbon charcoal was made from rambutan rods and used as an adsorbent. A gram 70/100 mesh size of adsorbent was then used to adsorb 100 ml of copper ion solution with a 70 ppm concentration. In this investigation, the batch procedure was used without shaking (naturally). The charcoal carbon rambutan ability to remove the copper ion was measured by AAS. The percentage result was 48,135% or about 33,694 ppm. SEM and EDX instrument analysis have applied to confirm the presence of copper ions on the adsorbent surface. The copper ion was found at a concentration of 0.09 percent of the total weight. The carbon charcoal adsorbent in rambutan rods has the ability to purify the water contaminated by metal ions.

4-(thiazol-2-yldiazenyl)phenol (L1) and 2-((4-hydroxyphenyl) diazenyl)-5-nitrophenol (L2) based on azo phenol were synthesised and used as selective colorimetric sensor for CN- and AcO− ion in DMSO/H2O-HEPES (v/v; 1:1, pH–7.3 ± 0.2) and showed good sensitivity with large red shifts and nanomolar detection limit for CN- and AcO- ion. The stoichiometry of L1 with CN−/AcO− ion was found to be 1:1 and L2 with CN−/AcO− ion was found to be 1:2. Binding constant for L1+ CN−, L1 + AcO−, L2 + CN− and L2 + AcO− were calculated by B-H plot as 1.6 × 103, 8.0 × 102, 8.4 × 103 and 1.7 × 102 respectively. L2 showed high selectivity towards CN− ion with low detection limit of 81 nM and large binding constant. In addition, 1H NMR titration and DFT studies also supported the deprotonation mechanism of receptors in the presence of selective anions.
