Summary: This study synthesized a new adsorbent composite for the removal of Cs ions from waste effluents. The adsorbent, composed of polyethylene glycol-decorated ammonium molybdophosphate magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (PEG-AMP MNs), achieved 99.8% removal of Cs+ in the pH range of 1-12. The adsorption process was found to be endothermic and primarily driven by weak electrostatic attraction and ion exchange between NH4+ and Cs+. The encapsulation of a magnetic carrier allows for efficient separation and recovery of Cs+ after adsorption.

Summary: Salt lake brine from Qinghai, China contains abundant cesium resources with large reserves. Ammonium molybdophosphate (AMP) and zirconium phosphate (ZrP) inorganic ion exchangers are effective adsorbents for Cs+ separation and extraction. However, their solubility in water limits their adsorption capacity in aqueous solutions, resulting in difficulties in their use and recovery. This study developed a polyurethane sponge (PU sponge) coated with dopamine-coated AMP and ZrP as an environmentally friendly adsorbent carrier. The AMP/PU sponge showed superior Cs+ adsorption performance compared to the ZrP/PU sponge, reaching saturation at an adsorbent amount of 0.025 g and maintaining an adsorption efficiency above 80% for Cs+ concentrations of 5-35 mg/L. The adsorption process was found to be spontaneous and feasible, with a higher driving force at high temperatures. The interaction between adsorbent and adsorbate was explained using density functional theory calculations. This Cs+ adsorbent provides design guidelines for efficient and selective removal of Cs+.

Summary: The corrosion inhibitory potency of two new pyrimidine-pyrazole derivatives, PPA and PPC, was evaluated for mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed enhanced inhibition activities with increased concentration, reaching maximal values of 91.15% and 92.39% for PPA and PPC, respectively. However, the mitigation potency decreased with increasing temperature. SEM and XPS analysis revealed that PPA and PPC adsorbed on the mild steel surface, forming a shielding layer that prevented the dissolution of the steel in the acidic solution.
