In this study, polyacrylonitrile-amidoxime nanofibers were prepared by combining the technique of electrospinning and chemical modification with hydroxylamine chloride. Before modified the Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were bonded with two layers Ethylene-Propylene Side By Side (ES) thermal bonded nonwovens to improve its mechanical strength. Subsequently, they were applied to adsorb copper ions. The results of FT-IR spectra and scanning electron microscope indicated that nitrile groups in PAN were partly converted into amidoxime groups and there were no serious cracks on the surface of PAN-amidoxime nanofibers. The adsorption data of Cu (II) ions was fitted roughly with the Langmuir isotherm. The maximal adsorption capacities of Cu (II) ions reached 176 mg/g.

Imidazole-based polyamides (PA)s and polyimides (PI) s were prepared from condensation of a new aromatic heterocyclic diamine, 4,4›(4,4›-(2-(4-(triflouromethyl)phenyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dyl)bis(4,1-phenylen))bis(oxy)bis(3-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazole-2-yl)aniline), with various diacids and dianhydrides, respectively. The structure of diamine, PAs and PIs were fully characterized by using elemental analysis, FT-IR, <sup>1</sup>H NMR and <sup>13</sup>C NMR techniques. Also, adsorption capability of these polymers for removal of heavy metal ions such as Co<sup>2+</sup>, Cr<sup>3+</sup>, Cd<sup>2+</sup>, Hg<sup>2+</sup> and Pb<sup>2+</sup> from aqueous solutions was also tested at pH 7-8. The PAs and PIs showed good solubility in aprotic polar organic solvents with high thermal stability exhibiting the glass transition temperatures (T<sub>g</sub>)s and 10% weight loss temperatures (T<sub>10</sub>%) in the range of 220-286 °C and 383-435 °C for PAs and 251-307 °C and 407-512 °C for PIs.

Heavy metal ion contamination in water poses a significant risk to human health as well as to the environment. Millions of tons of agricultural wastes are produced from oil palm plantations which are challenging to manage. In this study, we converted palm kernel shells (PKS) from a palm oil plantation into activated carbon (AC) having a surface area of 1099 m2/g using phosphoric acid as an activator. The prepared material was characterized using BET, XRD, Raman, FESEM and FTIR analyses. The AC was applied for the treatment of heavy-metal-contaminated water, and different parameters; the pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time and metal ion concentrations were varied to determine the optimal conditions for the metal ion adsorption. Different kinetic models; the zeroth, first-order and second-order, and Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models were used to determine the mechanism of metal ion adsorption by the AC. Under the optimized conditions, Cr6+ and Pb2+ were removed completely, while Zn2+ and Cd2+ were more than 80% removed. This is a greener approach in which an agricultural waste, PKS is converted into a useful product, activated carbon and subsequently applied for the treatment of heavy metal-contaminated water.
