Agriculture waste is a good choice for the production of carbon dots owing to its abundance, wide availability, eco-friendly nature. In this study a novel magnetic bioadsorbent based on carbon quantum dots (Fe3O4-PPCQDs) from Pomegranate peel (PP) was used as adsorbent to remove lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) from 50 mL of water and wastewater samples by magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE). After adsorption ions with Fe3O4-PPCQDs at pH=6, the concentration of Pb(II) and Cd (II) ions were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (F-AAS). The manufactured of Fe3O4-PPCQDs and GO nanostructures were structurally characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM),  and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The quantum dots were optically characterized by UV–Vis spectroscopy. Batch adsorption experiment was conducted to examine the effects of pH, contact time, temperature and initial concentration of Pb(II) and Cd(II) from the water. The preconcentration factor and LOD for Cd and Pb were obtained 50, and (1.3 μg L-1; 15.5 μg L-1), respectively. The equilibrium data of ions sorption were well described by Langmuir and Freundlich model. The R2 values obtained by Langmuir model were higher. The absorption capacity of Fe3O4-PPCQDs for cadmium and lead were obtained 17.92 and 23.75 mg g-1, respectively.

A novel sorbent based on MIL-101(Cr) nanoadsorbent as MOF structure was used for nickel extraction from water and wastewater samples. In this study, 30 mg of MIL-101(Cr) nanoadsorbent dispersed in 50 mL of water or wastewater samples, after sonication and adjusting pH =8.5, the nickel ions was extracted by carboxyl groups of terephthalic acid (MOF-(C6H4 (COO)-2…. Ni2+) by dispersive suspension micro solid phase extraction (DS-μ-SPE).The MOF was separated from liquid phase with filter membrane (0.2 μm), eluted with 0.5 mL of nitric acid as back-extraction solution and finally, the nickel concentration in eluent determined by atom trap-flame atomic absorption spectrometry (AT-FAAS) after dilution with DW up to 1 mL.The LOD, the linear range and preconcentration factor were achieved 1.5 µg L−1, 5-160 µg L−1 and 49.7, respectively.The absorption capacity of MOF for nickel was obtained 136.8 mg g-1.The results of procedure were validated by spiking of samples and ET-AAS analyzer.

Arapid, simple, and sensitive procedure based on modified solid phase extraction was developed for the pre-concentration and determination of trace amount of lead in water resources. Lead was reacted with ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (APDC) to make a complex. The complex was then collected in a column packed with surfactant-coated alumina. The parameters affecting the collection efficiency and desorption rate of the lead complexes from the column were investigated and optimized. The collection efficiency of the lead complex on the adsorbent was excellent under the optimized conditions. The results obtained from the recovery test showed the capability and reliability of the method for the analysis of trace amounts of lead. The proposed pre-concentration procedure made it possible to apply conventional flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) for the sensitive determination of trace amounts of lead in water resources. .
