The low-grade rock phosphate of Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh (India), was investigated for its possible application in the removal of lead, copper, zinc and cobalt ions from aqueous solutions. Effects of contact time, amount of adsorbent and initial concentration of metal ions were studied. Adsorption of heavy metal ions was found to follow the order: Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Co2+. The probable mechanism...

Our aim was to investigate the biosorption of Pb2+, Hg2+, Cd2 from aqueous solution by Aspergillus terreus (both free and immobilized on loofa sponge discs). Our results show that the adsorption capacity of fungal biomass on loofa sponge (FBLS) is superior to free fungal biomass (FFB). The adsorption selectivity by FBLS was in the order Pb2+>Hg2+>Cd2+. The maximum metal ions adsorbed was 247.2,...

This study mainly centered on the preconcentration and flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination of lead ions by cloud point extraction (CPE) procedure. Complexation Pb2+ vitamin B6 prior to its was achieved in method. The solution pH, surfactant concentrations, interfering ions, incubation temperature sample volume were optimized. limit quantication (LOQ) detection (LOD) values metho...

In this research, graphene oxide (GO) was functionalized by tannic acid to produce GO-TA and fabricate a novel functionalized graphene oxide/ polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous as an adsorbent in order to remove two hazardous heavy metals from aqueous solutions. The results showed that the composite adsorbent can properly adsorb Pb2+ and Cd2+ metal cations, due to having the numerous potential...

Water-soluble CdTe quantum dots (QDs) have been utilized as photoluminescence probes for the detection of metal ions such Pb2+, Hg2+, Cd2+, etc. We initially developed highly (PL) Zn-doped toxic detection. A study on changes optical properties and QDs when exposed to Pb2+ suggested that could act a surface passivating agent reduce Te2- dangling bonds while Zn2+ dopant stabilizes against ambient...

This articles reports a simple and green method for preparing uniform silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), for which self-polymerized 3,4-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (polyDOPA) is used as the reducing and stabilizing agent in aqueous media. The AgNPs functionalized by polyDOPA were analyzed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), Fourier transform infrared spec...

An electrochemical sensor incorporating a signal enhancement for the determination of lead (II) ions (Pb2+) was designed on the basis of the thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA) as a molecular recognition element and ionic liquid supported cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles-carbon nanotubes composite modification. The composite comprises nanoparticles CeO2, multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and hydr...

A new fluorescent sensor based on the BODIPY fluorophore and the polyamide receptor for Pb(2+) was designed and synthesized. The sensor is highly selective for Pb(2+) over relevant competing metal ions, and sensitive to ppb levels of Pb(2+). It features the most sensitive probe to date for Pb(2+) ions in water.

The two cupferronate ions and the N-heterocycle in the mononuclear title compound, [Pb(C(6)H(5)N(2)O(2))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))], O,O'- and N,N'-chelate to the Pb(II) atom, the geometry of which is a distorted Ψ-penta-gonal bipyramid.
