The scope of this article is to develop composite membranes using chitosan (CS) and graphene oxide (GO) as adsorbents for the removal of inorganic pollutants such as heavy metal ions, particularly Pb2+, from aqueous solutions. GO was obtained by modified Hummers method and blended with CS solution. The introduction of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) compound to CS/GO suspension lead to an increased adsorption capacity of CS/GO for the elimination of heavy metals by forming stable chelates with them. The synthesized membranes were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the adsorption behaviour of Pb2+ from aqueous solutions using CS/EDTA/GO membranes was evaluated using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The adsorption performance of Pb2+ ions was studied by monitoring the concentration of Pb2+ against the adsorption period at an initial content of the adsorbent. The maximum adsorption efficiency of Pb2+ metal ions reached 767 mg·g−1 for CS/EDTA/GO 0.1%, 889 mg·g−1 for CS/EDTA/GO 0.3%, 970 mg·g−1 for CS/EDTA, 853 mg·g−1 for CS and 1526 mg·g−1 for GO. These findings show promising potential for CS/EDTA/GO membranes as effective adsorbent materials for the removal of heavy metal ions in water.

Abstract An excellent magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MMWCNT) containing carboxyl material modified with ferroferric oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles was synthesized as the adsorbent for magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) of five heavy metal ions (Pb2+, Cu2+, Co2+, Cd2+, Cr4+) in water samples followed by on-line inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection. The characteristics of the adsorbent were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Some factors affecting extraction efficiency including pH of sample solution, the amount of adsorbent, extraction method and time, concentration and volume of desorption solvent, desorption time and evaluation of coexisting ions were optimized. Under the optimum conditions, good linearity (r ≥ 0.9951) was obtained within the range of0.1–50.0 ng·mL−1. The limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) were 4.0–25.0 ng·L−1 and 15.0–80.0 ng·L−1, respectively. And satisfactory recoveries of five heavy metal ions ranged from 81.11% to 105.53% were acquired, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were no more than 6.05%. The MMWCNT synthesized had strong adsorption force for the five investigated heavy metal ions, respectively. Hence, the proposed method was so suitable and sensitive that it can be applied to the determination of trace analysis of heavy metals in water samples.

Galactans from the Indian agarophyte Gracilaria pudumadamensis were extracted and characterized. The isolated native (GPNative) and alkali treated (GPAlkali) galactans were characterized by IR, 13C NMR, GC-MS and GPC. It was found that GPNative and GPAlkali were composed mainly of 3,6-anhydro L-galactose, 6- O-methylated D-galactose and galactose in various mole proportions (15.6:69.9:17.5 mole% for GPNative and 20.2:69.8:10.0 mole% for GPAlkali). The GPNative and GPAlkali exhibited low gel strengths (<100 g/cm2) and high melting points (~76 °C), which may be due to the presence of high 6- O-Me-galactose contents. The latter, having low sulfate (2.1%), was by far the greatest 6- O-Me-galactose containing polysaccharide in a Gracilaria spp. reported in the literature. This methylated agar contained very low heavy metal ions estimated by inductively coupled plasma spectrophotometry (ICP). The results of this investigation would be useful in bioprospecting of agarophytes, especially those occurring in Indian waters and would be potentially useful in food, personal care and related domains.
