Naked-eye lead(II) capturing from contaminated water using innovative large-pore facial composite materials

Detection and removal of toxic metal ions from aqueous solutions is considered among the most important environmental issues in recent years as these metals are hazardous, carcinogenic, and classified as toxic pollutants. In this study, organic ligand embedded large-pore facile composite material was prepared by the direct anchoring method and then, was characterized in systematic ways for understanding the lead (Pb(II)) detection and removal in naked-eye ability in an aqueous solution was evaluated. The material was exhibited the specific functionality for Pb(II) detection and removal from aqueous media with the addition of trace level of Pb(II) ion. The Pb(II) ion detection limit of the presented method was 0.44 µg/L at optimum conditions. The impact of effective Pb(II) ion removal parameters…
