Summary: Potassium carbonate-activated biochar derived from Ricinus communis and Colocasia esculanta stems exhibited efficient removal of Cd2+ and Pb2+ from synthetic wastewater. The adsorption parameters and mechanisms were studied, with the findings indicating that biosorption followed the Freundlich isotherm and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and involved physical adsorption. The optimum conditions for Cd2+ and Pb2+ removal were determined, and the adsorption capacity was found to be 55 mg g(-1) for Cd and 76 mg g(-1) for Pb. Thermodynamics showed spontaneous and endothermic adsorption, and desorption studies indicated recyclability up to 5 cycles. These results highlight the potential of RCSB and CESB for efficient removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous environments.

Summary: A versatile bifunctional probe, L-1, was developed for visualizing and quantitatively analyzing Hg2+ and GSH separately in water. Probe L-1 showed rapid sensing towards Hg2+ (LOD = about 17.35 ppb) and GSH (LOD = about 25.83 ppb) with a significant turn-on fluorescence response and red-shifted emission maxima. The sensing strategy was successfully applied to detect Hg2+ and GSH in contaminated natural water, simulated physiological media, and real biological samples. Affordable test strips for visual and quantitative detection of Hg2+ and GSH may have great potential for rapid preliminary environmental monitoring.
