Rapid on-site/in-situ detection of heavy metal ions in environmental water using a structure-switching DNA optical biosensor.

ABSTRACT: A structure-switching DNA optical biosensor for rapid on-site/in situ detection of heavy metal ions is reported. Mercury ions (Hg²⁺), highly toxic and ubiquitous pollutants, were selected as model target. In this system, fluorescence-labeled DNA containing T-T mismatch structure was introduced to bind with DNA probes immobilized onto the sensor surface. In the presence of Hg²⁺, some of the fluorescence-labeled DNAs bind with Hg²⁺ to form T-Hg²⁺-T complexes through the folding of themselves into a hairpin structure and dehybridization from the sensor surface, which leads to decrease in fluorescence signal. The total analysis time for a single sample was less than 10 min with detection limit of 1.2 nM. The rapid on-site/in situ determination of Hg²⁺ was readily performed in natural water. This sensing strategy can be extended in principle to other metal ions by substituting the T-Hg²⁺-T complexes with other specificity structures that selectively bind to other analytes.

Silver Nanoclusters Encapsulated into Metal-Organic Frameworks for Rapid Removal of Heavy Metal Ions from Water.

Project description:Metal nanomaterials have been reported as effective absorbents for the removal of pollutants in the water system, but the release of ions from these nanomaterials brings another concern. Herein, silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) were encapsulated in porous metal-organic frameworks of ZIF-8 (MOF-AgNCs). Compared to AgNCs, the release of Ag+ significantly decreases from MOF-AgNCs, indicating that the product presents a lower threat to the environment. The MOF-AgNCs were employed for the rapid removal of heavy metals, such as Pb2+ and Mn2+, from water. The mechanism and removal efficiencies were investigated.

Construction of a mApple-D6A3-mediated biosensor for detection of heavy metal ions.

Project description:Pollution of heavy metals in agricultural environments is a growing problem to the health of the world's human population. Green, low-cost, and efficient detection methods can help control such pollution. In this study, a protein biosensor, mApple-D6A3, was built from rice-derived Cd2+-binding protein D6A3 fused with the red fluorescent protein mApple at the N-terminus to detect the contents of heavy metals. Fluorescence intensity of mApple fused with D6A3 indicated the biosensor's sensitivity to metal ions and its intensity was more stable under alkaline conditions. mApple-D6A3 was most sensitive to Cu2+, then Ni2+, then Cd2+. Isothermal titration calorimetry experiments demonstrated that mApple-D6A3 successfully bound to each of these three metal ions, and its ability to bind the ions was, from strongest to weakest, Cu2+ > Cd2+ > Ni2+. There were strong linear relationships between the fluorescence intensity of mApple-D6A3 and concentrations of Cd2+ (0-100 μM), Cu2+ (0-60 μM) and Ni2+ (0-120 μM), and their respective R2 values were 0.994, 0.973 and 0.973. When mApple-D6A3 was applied to detect concentrations of heavy metal ions in water (0-0.1 mM) or culture medium (0-1 mM), its accuracy for detection attained more than 80%. This study demonstrates the potential of this biosensor as a tool for detection of heavy metal ions.

Bio-Based Aerogels for the Removal of Heavy Metal Ions and Oils from Water: Novel Solutions for Environmental Remediation.

Project description:Contamination of the aqueous environment caused by the presence of heavy metal ions and oils is a growing concern that must be addressed to reduce their detrimental impact on living organisms and safeguard the environment. Recent efficient and environmentally friendly remediation methods for the treatment of water are based on third-generation bioaerogels as emerging applications for the removal of heavy metal ions and oils from aqueous systems. The peculiarities of these materials are various, considering their high specific surface area and low density, together with a highly porous three-dimensional structure and tunable surface chemistry. This review illustrates the recent progress in aerogels developed from cellulose and chitosan as emerging materials in water treatment. The potential of aerogel-based adsorbents for wastewater treatment is reported in terms of adsorption efficacy and reusability. Despite various gaps affecting the manufacturing and production costs of aerogels that actually limit their successful implementation in the market, the research progress suggests that bio-based aerogels are ready to be used in water-treatment applications in the near future.

Rapid, Selective Heavy Metal Removal from Water by a Metal-Organic Framework/Polydopamine Composite.

Project description:Drinking water contamination with heavy metals, particularly lead, is a persistent problem worldwide with grave public health consequences. Existing purification methods often cannot address this problem quickly and economically. Here we report a cheap, water stable metal-organic framework/polymer composite, Fe-BTC/PDA, that exhibits rapid, selective removal of large quantities of heavy metals, such as Pb2+ and Hg2+, from real world water samples. In this work, Fe-BTC is treated with dopamine, which undergoes a spontaneous polymerization to polydopamine (PDA) within its pores via the Fe3+ open metal sites. The PDA, pinned on the internal MOF surface, gains extrinsic porosity, resulting in a composite that binds up to 1634 mg of Hg2+ and 394 mg of Pb2+ per gram of composite and removes more than 99.8% of these ions from a 1 ppm solution, yielding drinkable levels in seconds. Further, the composite properties are well-maintained in river and seawater samples spiked with only trace amounts of lead, illustrating unprecedented selectivity. Remarkably, no significant uptake of competing metal ions is observed even when interferents, such as Na+, are present at concentrations up to 14?000 times that of Pb2+. The material is further shown to be resistant to fouling when tested in high concentrations of common organic interferents, like humic acid, and is fully regenerable over many cycles.

Role of Ionic Moieties in Hydrogel Networks to Remove Heavy Metal Ions from Water.

Project description:A variety of methods for removing heavy metal ions from wastewater have been developed but because of their low efficiency, further production of toxic sludge or other waste materials, high expense, and lengthy procedures, limited progress has been achieved to date. Polymeric hydrogel has been attracting particular attention for the effective removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater. Here, ionogenic polymeric hydrogels were prepared by free-radical copolymerization of a neutral acrylamide (AAm) monomer with an ionic comonomer in the presence of a suitable initiator and a cross-linker. Different types of ionic comonomers such as strongly acidic: 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid, weakly acidic: acrylic acid (AAc), and zwitterionic: 2-methacryloyloxy ethyl dimethyl-3-sulfopropyl ammonium hydroxide with varying amounts were incorporated into the poly(AAm) networks to fabricate the hydrogels. The heavy metal ions (Fe3+, Cr3+, and Hg2+) removal capacity of the fabricated hydrogels from an aqueous solution via electrostatic interactions, coordination bond formation, and a diffusion process was compared and contrasted. The poly(AAm) hydrogel containing weakly acidic AAc groups shows excellent removal capacity of heavy metal ions. The release and recovery of heavy metal ions from the hydrogel samples are also impressive. The compressive strength of hydrogels was found to be significantly high after incorporating heavy metal ions that will increase their potential applications in different sectors.

Simultaneous Removal of Multiple Heavy Metal Ions from River Water Using Ultrafine Mesoporous Magnetite Nanoparticles.

Project description:The exploration of simultaneous removal of co-existing or multiple pollutants from water by the means of nanomaterials paves a new avenue that is free from secondary pollution and inexpensive. In the aquatic environment, river water contains a mixture of ions, which can influence the adsorption process. In this respect, removing heavy metal ions becomes a true challenge. Here, four heavy metal ions, namely, Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, and Ni2+, have been successfully removed simultaneously from river water using ultrafine mesoporous magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (UFMNPs) based on the affinity of these metal ions toward the UFMNP surfaces as well as their unique mesoporous structure, promoting the easy adsorption. The individual removal efficiencies of Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, and Ni2+ ions from river water were 98, 87, 90, and 78%, respectively, whereas the removal efficiencies of the mixed Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, and Ni2+ ions were 86, 80, 84, and 54%, respectively, in the same river water. Thus, the data clearly indicate the complex removal of heavy metal ions in multi-ion systems. This study has demonstrated the huge potential of UFMNPs to be effective for their use in wastewater treatment, especially to simultaneously remove multiple heavy metal ions from aqueous media.

Magnetic Mesoporous Carbons Derived from in Situ MgO Template Formation for Fast Removal of Heavy Metal Ions.

Project description:In this paper, magnetic mesoporous carbon composites were prepared by calcination of the mixture of magnesium citrate and Fe3O4@SiO2 in an inert atmosphere. A high content of Fe3O4@SiO2 and MgO was in situ embedded in a carbon matrix. After removing the MgO template by diluted acid, the resulting material (Fe3O4@SiO2@mC) was subjected to further H2O2 oxidation treatment. The formed oxygen-containing functional groups on the products provided plenty of active sites for the adsorption of analytes of interest. The obtained composites (Fe3O4@SiO2@mC-H2O2) exhibited a mesoporous structure with a high specific surface area of 731 m2 g-1. The adsorption capacities of Fe3O4@SiO2@mC-H2O2 for Cu(II) and Pb(II) were calculated to be 86.5 and 156 mg g-1, respectively. Under optimal conditions, the adsorption isotherm of Cu(II) and Pb(II) onto Fe3O4@SiO2@mC-H2O2 fitted the Langmuir model and the adsorption kinetic was well-correlated with the pseudo-second-order model. Besides, Fe3O4@SiO2@mC-H2O2 exhibited fast removal dynamics (within less than 1 min) for Cu(II) and Pb(II), demonstrating great application potential in wastewater treatment.

Polyamidoamine Dendrimers Functionalized Water-Stable Metal-Organic Frameworks for Sensitive Fluorescent Detection of Heavy Metal Ions in Aqueous Solution.

Project description:In this work, polyamidoamine (PAMAM)-functionalized water-stable Al-based metal-organic frameworks (MIL-53(Al)-NH2) were proposed with enhanced fluorescence intensity, and used for the sensitive detection of heavy metal ions in aqueous solution. The size and morphology of MIL-53(Al)-NH2 were effectively optimized by regulating the component of the reaction solvents. PAMAM dendrimers were subsequently grafted onto the surface with glutaraldehyde as a cross-linking agent. It was found that the size and morphology of MIL-53(Al)-NH2 have great influence on their fluorescence properties, and PAMAM grafting could distinctly further improve their fluorescence intensity. With higher fluorescence intensity, the PAMAM-grafted MIL-53(Al)-NH2 showed good linearity (R2 = 0.9925-0.9990) and satisfactory sensitivity (LOD = 1.1-8.6 μmol) in heavy metal ions determination. Fluorescence enhancement and heavy metal ions detection mechanisms were discussed following the experimental results. Furthermore, analogous water-stable Materials of Institute Lavoisier (MIL) metal-organic frameworks such as MIL-53(Fe)-NH2 were also proved to have similar fluorescence enhancement performance after PAMAM modification, which demonstrates the universality of the method and the great application prospects in the design of PAMAM-functionalized high-sensitivity fluorescence sensors.

Micro-hydrogel Particles Consisting of Hyperbranched Polyamidoamine for the Removal of Heavy Metal Ions from Water.

Project description:A series of micro-hydrogel particles consisting of hyperbranched polyamidoamine (HPAMAM) without any supporting core materials was synthesized via the inverse suspension condensation polymerization of A2 and B4 monomers, N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) and ethylenediamine (EDA). The particles were found to be highly effective when used to remove heavy metal ions, such as cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, and cobalt, from water, and they could be separated from the water by a simple filtration process. The results of this study demonstrate that crosslinked HPAMAM particles, which can be prepared by a simple and environmentally friendly process, are an attractive absorbent for water purification.
