Remove of Heavy Metals(Cu2+, Pb2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+) in Water Through Modified Diatomite

At present, heavy metal pollution has become a major environmental problem, influencing the survival of human and other creatures. Developing heavy metal ion adsorbents, which are environment friendly, of low cost and good performance is one of the effective means to solve heavy metal pollution. Rich low-grade diatomite mineral, as raw material, was modified with calcium carbonate to improve the adsorption properties of diatomite for heavy metal ions. The effects of dosage(m), pH, adsorbing time(t), temperature(T) and concentration of adsorbent(c) on the removal rate of heavy metal ions(Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺) were studied. The results show that under the suitable conditions, T=15 ℃, c=1.5 mmol/L, m=10 g/L, t=60 min, in a weak acid environment, the removal effect of the four kinds of metal ions by modified diatomite is the best.     

A Novel Coumarin-based Fluorescence Chemosensor for Fe^3＋

A novel coumarin derivative[7-diethylamino-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxylic acid（6-amino-pyridin2-yl）-amide,CFe1] has been synthesized and its potential application as a chemosensor for the detection of metal ions has been further investigated.The responses of CFe1 to Fe^3＋ were studied by fluorescence emission spectrometry in the presence of other metal ions such as Al^3＋,Ba^2＋,Ca^2＋,Co^3＋,Cr^3＋,Cu^2＋,Fe^2＋,Hg^2＋,Mg^2＋,Mn^2＋,Na^＋,Ni^＋,Pb^2＋,Zn^2＋,K^＋,and Ag^＋.CFe1 showed a good selectivity for Fe^3＋ with fast response,a wide pH span of 3.3-9.18,and a large Stocks shift.CFe1 in the presence of Fe^3＋ and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid（EDTA） makes the blue solution fade to colorless,which is due to the formation of CFe1-Fe^3＋ complex instead of any catalytic action of Fe^3＋.Furthermore,the imaging of Fe^3＋ in cultured single mice microglia cells was realized with the aid of CFe1,indicating that CFe1 has a great potential to be used as promising models for the future design of novel and robust chemosensor for metal ion detection in the field of biomedical and environmental analyses.     

金属离子对彩色成像过程的影响

通过测量和计算彩色单层片中成色剂的照相活性、偶合效率以及漂白前银密度等参数,研究了在分散四当量成色剂青(Ⅰ)时掺入金属离子Mg²⁺、Zn²⁺、Fe³⁺和Cu²⁺对彩色青单层片的成像过程中各个化学反应的影响。本实验的结果表明,成色剂中加入的金属离子Cu²⁺和Fe³⁺对成像过程的初始反应中的Ag影像形成产生不利的影响,但它们能促进偶合过程中青(Ⅰ)与显影剂氧化产物作用所生成的隐色体转变成染料的速率。Mg²⁺和Zn²⁺的加入主要是对偶合过程中青(Ⅰ)的偶合效率产生不利的影响。上述原因的综合影响,最终降低了彩色单层片的感光度。     

A highly selective chemosensor for copper ion based on ICT fluorescence

Simple structural compounds 1 to 3 were synthesized.The presence of Cu²⁺ resulted in the fluorescence and absorption spectra change of 1 and 2,which indicated that 1 and 2 showed a highly selective response to Cu²⁺ over other metal ions.However,3 showed no selectivity for metal ions,which means that the compound could bind with several metal ions,such as,Ni²⁺,Zn²⁺,Cd²⁺.Hg²⁺, Pb²⁺,Fe³⁺,Mg²⁺,Ca²⁺,and Co²⁺,except Cu²⁺ and Ag⁺.The different spectral responses were attributed to the difference in binding sites for 1 and 3.

Quadruple-stranded Eu-helicate Assembled from Bis-β-diketonate: Its Stability Towards Metal Ions

Herein, we reported the synthesis and investigation of highly luminescent quadruple-stranded helicate (C₆H₁₆N)₄[Eu₂(MBDA)₄]₂^.3C₄H₁₀O·4C₂H₃N(1-Eu)[H₂MBDA=N-methyl-4,4'-bis(4,4,4-trifluoro-1,3-dioxobutyl)di- phenylamine] for its stability toward metal ions in the solution. The material was characterized via X-ray crystallographic technique, Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy and electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of- flight(ESI-TOF) mass spectrometry. The results on the luminescence quantum yields clearly demonstrate that the ligand can effectively sensitize the luminescence of the Eu³⁺ ions(Φ_overall=15%). Upon the addition of different metal ions(i. e., Ag⁺, Cd²⁺, Zn²⁺, Fe³⁺, Al³⁺ and Ni²⁺) to the CH₃CN solution of compound 1-Eu, the emission intensities of Eu³⁺ ions at 612 nm were affected to some extent, which could be attributed to the presence of ion exchanges between Eu³⁺ ions and the metals ions, and the result was confirmed by ESI-TOF mass spectrometry.

A Highly Selective Fluorescent Chemosensor for Cu2+

A new Zn²⁺ probe L2-Zn(L2=naphthofuran carbonylhydrazone derivant) was synthesized as a fluorescence chemosensor for Cu²⁺, by which Cu²⁺ ion could be detected with high selectivity and sensitivity in a wide pH range via a displacement “turn-off” signaling strategy. Whereas the coordination between Zn²⁺ and L2 resulted in a considerable enhancement of typical luminescence of a naphthalofuran group in complex L2-Zn, the addition of Cu²⁺ ion led to a dramatic decrease in the emission intensity of probe L2-Zn at about 503 nm(excitation at 423 nm). The competitive fluorescent experiments showed that other metal ions, such as Hg²⁺, Fe³⁺, Ag⁺, Ca²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cr³⁺ and Mg²⁺ could not impact the detection of Cu²⁺. The detection limit of the novel probe L2-Zn for Cu²⁺ ion was as low as 2.3×10^-7 mol/L, which is far lower than the guideline value of 1.6×10^-5 mol/L of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.     

Enzymatically generated polyphenols as array-based metal-ion sensors

Phenolic polymers containing fluorescent reporter molecules were prepared via soybean hull peroxidase (SBP) catalysis, and used as metal-based sensor components. Specifically, we generated a variety of phenolic homopolymers containing p-cresol, p-phenylphenol, or p-methoxyphenol containing one of the two fluorophores: fluorescein and calcein. The fluorescence of the resulting polyphenols was dependent on the presence of metal ions, including Cu²⁺, Fe²⁺, Zn²⁺, Mn²⁺, and Fe³⁺. The fluorescence response was dependent on both, the metal ion and the phenolic monomer used in polyphenol synthesis, indicating that significant control over the selectivity and sensitivity of metal sensing can be achieved by varying the components that comprise the phenolic polymer. In some cases, metal-ion concentrations as low as 10 μM can be analyzed. The broad reactivity of SBP toward phenolic monomers enables the use of a wide array of structures and chemistries that can assist in metal-ion detection.

11-Mercaptoundecanoic acid functionalized gold nanoclusters as fluorescent probes for the sensitive detection of Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions

Metal ions are physiologically essential,but excessive metal ions may cause severe risk to plants and animals.Here,we prepared gold nanoclusters(Au NCs) protected by 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid(11-MUA),which have excellent fluorescence properties for the detection of metal ions.The results showed that the copper ions(Cu~(2+)) and iron ions(Fe~(3+)) in the solution have obvious quenching effect on the fluorescence intensity of Au NCs.The detection range of Fe~(3+) was 0.8–4.5 mmol/L(R~2= 0.992) and 4.5–11.0 mmol/L(R~2= 0.997).And Cu~(2+) has a lower linear range(0.1–1.0 mmol/L,R2= 0.993).When EDTA was added into the reaction system,it was observed that the quenching effect of Cu~(2+) and Fe~(3+)on Au NCs showed different phenomenon.Then,the effect of metal ions on the fluorescence of Au NCs was investigated.The selective detection of Cu~(2+) was achieved by EDTA masking of Fe~(3+).In addition,we realized the metal ions detection application of Au NCs in the serum     

Chelating Properties of Salicylhydroxamic Acid-functionalized Polystyrene Resins and Its Application to Efficient Removal of Heavy Metal Ions from Aqueous Solutions

Salicylhydroxamic acid(SHA) was covalently bound onto crosslinked polystyrene spheres(CPSs) via the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction between chloromethylated CPSs and SHA in the presence of SnCl4 as the Lewis acid catalyst. The resulted SHA-CPSs possessed very strong chelating ability for heavy metal ions. In particular, the saturated adsorption amount of SHA-CPSs for Cu²⁺ ions could reach as high as 34.2 mg/g at 318 K.

SHA-CPSs also showed selective metal coordination with the chelating capacity decreasing in the order of Cu²⁺>Zn²⁺>>Pb²⁺. The adsorption isotherms conformed well to the Langmuir model, and the adsorption process was found to be entropy-driven and endothermic. Besides, SHA-CPSs possessed the excellent reusability.

Cation selectivity of ionophores based on tripodal thiazole derivatives on benzene scaffold

The synthesis and potentiometric evaluation of new 1,3,5-tris(thiazolylcarbethoxy)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene (3), 1,3,5-tris(thiazolylhydroxy)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene (4), 1,3,5-tris(thiazolylmethyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene (5), and 1,3,5-tris(thiazolylphenyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene (6), toward mono and divalent cations under various pH conditions are outlined. The ion-selective properties of the newly synthesized compounds were studied by measuring the potentiometric responses of the 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-based membrane electrodes to alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, and transition metal ions, under various pH conditions. The 3-based electrode exhibited a Nernstian response to ammonium and potassium under alkaline pH conditions, while the other three electrodes showed a poor potentiometric performance. All electrodes showed substantial responses to silver ion under acidic condition, but there was almost nil response to other transition metal ions (Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Ni²⁺, Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Hg²⁺). The 3- and 5-based electrodes resulted in near Nernstian responses (51.3 mV and 59.5 mV/pAg⁺, respectively) with low detection limits (100 ppt), while the 4- and 6-based ones showed sub-Nernstian below 40 mV/pAg⁺. The results were interpreted with semi-empirically modeled structures.
