Dual Sensing

A simple 1,2-squaraine based chemosensor material (SQ) has been reported to show dual sensing performance for colorimetric detection of Fe3+ and Hg2+ ions. Compared to common instrumental analysis, this method could provide fast and direct detection though colorimetric changes by the naked eye. The sensor has shown excellent selectivity over the other metal ions by tuning different solvent environments. The detection limit for Fe3+ could reach to 0.538 μM, which was lower than that in the environmental agency guideline (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. EPA) in drinking water. And for Hg2+ detection, the limit was calculated as 1.689 μM in our case. A 1:1 binding mode between SQ–Fe3+ and SQ–Hg2+ ion were evidenced by Job’s plot measurement and IR analysis. The proposed different binding mechanisms were also supported by Density Function Theory (DFT) calculation. All these findings provide a unique material and a simple, facile, and low cost colorimetric method for dual metal ions analysis and have shown preliminary analytical applications in industrial water sample analysis.

A new colorimetric detection of methylmercury (CH3Hg+) was developed, which was based on the surface deposition of Hg enhancing the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The AuNPs were functionalized with a specific DNA strand (HT7) recognizing CH3Hg+, which was used to capture and separate CH3Hg+ by centrifugation. It was found that the CH3Hg+ reduction resulted in the deposition of Hg onto the surface of AuNPs. As a result, the catalytic activity of the AuNPs toward the chromogenic reaction of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-H2O2 was remarkably enhanced. Under optimal conditions, a limit of detection of 5.0 nM was obtained for CH3Hg+ with a linear range of 10–200 nM. We demonstrated that the colorimetric method was fairly simple with a low cost and can be conveniently applied to CH3Hg+ detection in environmental samples.

Abstract With the progress of analysis technology and nanotechnology, colorimetric detection has become one of the research hotspots in the field of analytical chemistry. Compared with traditional detection methods, the colorimetric method has many advantages, such as high sensitivity, good selectivity, convenience and fast, as well as low cost. In recent years, metal nanoparticles have been introduced into colorimetry, making the research and application of colorimetry develop rapidly. In this work, we summarize the usual colorimetric detection methods based on metal nanoparticles-based nanozymes and their applications in the last five years. We hope that this work will help readers understand the mechanism and practical application value of nanozyme-based colorimetric biosensors. Meanwhile, this work may give some hints and references for future colorimetric detection research to promote the application and development of nanozyme-based colorimetry in biomedical and environmental analysis.

Abstract Ionic hydrogels with excellent flexibility and good conductivity have great potential in diverse electric devices. However, it remains challenging to improve the biocompatibility of ionic hydrogels. Here, natural and environment-friendly cellulose nanofiber hydrogels were prepared without adding any organic active materials. The cellulose hydrogel networks with free metal ions (Li+/Ca2+/K+) were obtained by soaking in ion aqueous solution of different concentrations in order to endow tunable conductivity, thus a new kind of transparent ionic hydrogels with both excellent sensing performance obtained by a simple, low-cost and harmless process. The free metal ions locked in the negatively charged nanocellulose network through electrostatic interaction provided adjustable conductivity and sensing performance. Hydrogels doped with 4 mol L− 1 lithium ions exhibited the best sensing performance with the conductivity of 4.36×10− 4 S cm− 1, and the current response value was as high as 127%. It was worth noting that the strain-sensitive performance of calcium ions was generally excellent even at low temperatures (-30°C). The antifreezing of the hydrogel improved its service under extreme environment. This kind of hydrogel has great application prospects in artificial intelligence products, such as human healthy monitoring equipment and soft robotics at subzero temperature.

Analytical System

Heavy metal ions released into various water environments have severe impact on both human beings and aqueous environments, and excess amount of lead and aluminum ions pose high risks to human health and could cause life-threatened diseases. The existence of metal ions in drinking water contributes most to the daily intake by humans, and thus it urges to develop a rapid, low-cost and sensitive method for detection of heavy metal ions. In this research, we develop a portable analytical system for metal ion detection in water by combining a powerful gold nanoparticle (AuNP) based colorimetric method with lab-on-a-chip technology. We utilize single-step assays involving surface functionalized AuNPs for colorimetric detection of lead (Pb2+) and aluminum (Al3+) ions in water with low limit of detection (LOD) and high sensitivity. We demonstrate that this portable system provides LODs of 30 ppb for Pb2+ and 89 ppb for Al3+, both comparable to bench-top analytical spectrometers. The system permits metal ion detections in a more economical and convenient fashion, and is particularly useful for water quality monitoring in remote and/or resource-poor settings.

Removal Of Metal Ions

In the present work, sugar beet pulp, a common waste from the sugar refining industry, was studied in the removal of metal ions from aqueous solutions. The ability of this cheap biopolymer to sorb several metals namely Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+ in aqueous solutions was investigated. The metal fixation capacities of the sorbent were determined according to operating conditions and the fixation mechanisms were identified. The biopolymer has shown high elimination rates and interesting metal fixation capacities. A pseudo-second-order kinetic model was tested to investigate the adsorption mechanisms. The kinetic parameters of the model were calculated and discussed. For 8 × 10-4 M initial metal concentration, the initial sorption rates (v0) ranged from 0.063 mmol.g-1.min-1 for Pb2+ to 0.275 mmol.g-1.min-1 for Ni2+ ions, with the order: Ni2+ > Cd2+ > Zn2+ > Cu2+ > Pb2+. The equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir model and showed the following affinity order of the material: Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Cd2+ > Ni2+. Then, the kinetic and equilibrium parameters calculated qm and v0 were tentatively correlated to the properties of the metals. Finally, equilibrium experiments in multimetallic systems were performed to study the competition of the fixation of Pb2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+ cations. In all cases, the metal fixation onto the biopolymer was found to be favourable in multicomponent systems. Based on these results, it is demonstrated that this biosorbent represents a low-cost solution for the treatment of metal-polluted wastewaters.

AbstractDeterioration in soil–water environment severely contributed by heavy metal bioavailability and mobility on soil surface and sub-surface due to irrational increase in wastewater discharge and agrochemical activities. Therefore, the feasibility of adsorption characteristics of the soil is paramount in curbing the problem of micropollutant contamination in the farming vicinity. Soil from a farming site in a populated area in Enugu, Nigeria was collected and tested to measure the lead and cadmium contents using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The adsorption potency of the ultisol soil was estimated for identifiable physicochemical properties by standard technique. The mean activity concentration of Pb2+ and Cd2+ was 15.68 mg/kg and 3.01 mg/kg. The pH, temperature, metal concentration and contact time adsorptive effect on the Pb2+ and Cd2+ uptake was evaluated by batch adsorption technique. The Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin models were fitted into equilibrium adsorption data and the calculated results depict a better and satisfactory correlation for Langmuir with higher linear regression coefficients (Pb2+, 0.935 and Cd2+, 0.971). On the basis of sorption capacity mechanism of the soil, pseudo-second-order model best described the kinetics of both metal ions retention process. The results of the present study indicated that the soil being a low cost-effective adsorbent can be utilized to minimize the environmental risk impact of these metal ions.

AbstractIn the present work, a novel continuous flow system (CFS) is developed for the preconcentration and determination of Cr (VI) using Pseudomonas aeruginosa static biomass immobilized onto an effective and low-cost solid support of powdered eggshells. A mini glass column packed with the immobilized biosorbent is incorporated in a CFS for the preconcentration and determination of Cr (VI) from aqueous solutions. The method is based on preconcentration, washing and elution steps followed by colorimetric detection with 1,5-diphenyl carbazide in sulphuric acid. The effects of several variables such as pH, retention time, flow rate, eluent concentration and loaded volume are studied. Under optimal conditions, the CFS method has a linear range between 10 and 100 μg L-1 and a detection limit of 6.25 μg L-1 for the determination of Cr (VI). The sampling frequency is 10 samples per hour with a preconcentration time of 5 mins. Furthermore, after washing with a 0.1 M buffer (pH 3.0), the activity of the biosorbent is regenerated and remained comparable for more than 200 cycles. Scanning electron microscopy reveals a successful immobilization of biomass on eggshells powder and precipitation of Cr (VI) on the bacterial cell surface. The proposed method proves highly sensitive and could be suitable for the determination of Cr (VI) at an ultra-trace level.
