Optical Detection of Fe3+ Ions in Aqueous Solution with High Selectivity and Sensitivity by Using Sulfasalazine Functionalized Microgels.

ABSTRACT: A highly selective and sensitive optical sensor was developed to colorimetric detect trace Fe3+ ions in aqueous solution. The sensor was the sulfasalazine (SSZ) functionalized microgels (SSZ-MGs), which were fabricated via in-situ quaternization reaction. The obtained SSZ-MGs had hydrodynamic radius of about 259 ± 24 nm with uniform size distribution at 25 °C. The SSZ-MG aqueous suspensions can selectively and sensitively response to Fe3+ ions in aqueous solution at 25 °C and pH of 5.6, which can be quantified by UV-visible spectroscopy and also easily distinguished by the naked eye. Job's plot indicated that the molar binding ratio of SSZ moiety in SSZ-MGs to Fe3+ was close to 1:1 with an apparent association constant of 1.72 × 104 M-1. A linear range of 0-12 ?M with the detection limit of 0.110 ?M (0.006 mg/L) was found. The obtained detection limit was much lower than the maximum allowance level of Fe3+ ions in drinking water (0.3 mg/L) regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the United States. The existence of 19 other species of metal ions, namely, Ag+, Li+, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Yb3+, La3+, Gd3+, Ce3+, and Bi3+, did not interfere with the detection of Fe3+ ions.

Project description:Halloysite nanotubes (HNT) and ball-milled biochar (BC) incorporated biocompatible mesoporous adsorbents (HNT-BC@Alg) were synthesized for adsorption of aqueous heavy-metal ions. HNT-BC@Alg outperformed the BC, HNT, and BC@Alg in removing cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and lead (Pb). Mesoporous structure (∼7.19 to 7.56 nm) of HNT-BC@Alg was developed containing an abundance of functional groups induced from encapsulated BC and tubular HNT, which allowed heavy metals to infiltrate and interact with the adsorbents. Siloxane groups from HNT, oxygen-containing functional groups from BC, and hydroxyl and carboxyl groups from alginate polymer play a significant role in the adsorption of heavy-metal ions. The removal percentage of heavy metals was recorded as Pb (∼99.97 to 99.05%) > Cu (∼95.01 to 90.53%) > Cd (∼92.5 to 55.25%) > Ni (∼80.85 to 50.6%), even in the presence of 0.01/0.001 M of CaCl2 and Na2SO4 as background electrolytes and charged organic molecule under an environmentally relevant concentration (200 μg/L). The maximum adsorption capacities of Ni, Cd, Cu, and Pb were calculated as 2.85 ± 0.08, 6.96 ± 0.31, 16.87 ± 1.50, and 26.49 ± 2.04 mg/g, respectively. HNT-BC@Alg has fast sorption kinetics and maximum adsorption capacity within a short contact time (∼2 h). Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) elemental mapping exhibited that adsorbed heavy metals co-distributed with Ca, Si, and Al. The reduction of surface area, pore volume, and pore area of HNT-BC@Alg (after sorption of heavy metals) confirms that mesoporous surface (2-18 nm) supports diffusion, infiltration, and interaction. However, a lower range of mesoporous diameter of the adsorbent is more suitable for the adsorption of heavy-metal ions. The adsorption isotherm and kinetics fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo-second-order kinetic models, demonstrating the monolayer formation of heavy-metal ions through both the physical sorption and chemical sorption, including pore filling, ion exchange, and electrostatic interaction.
