In this study, we give insight into questionable results that can be encountered in the conventional sequential extraction of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, and Zn) from soils. Objectives of this study were to determine the extraction variability of exchangeable (EXC)-metals as using six different EXC-extractants commonly accepted, and to investigate selectivity problems with carbonates bound (CAB)-metal fraction, a buffered acetate (1.0 M NaOAc; pH 5.0) extractable-metal fraction, leading to erratic results in especially non-calcareous soils. The contents of EXC-metals were markedly varied with the different extractability of various EXC-metal extractants used. The contents of EXC-Cd fraction were ranged from 2.0 to 74.3% of total Cd content in all of the metal spiked soils studied. The contents of EXC-Zn fraction extracted with the different EXC-extractants were varied with soil types, which were from 0.4 to 3.9% of total Zn in the calcareous soils, from 7.6 to 17.9% in the acidic soil, and from 13.6 to 56.8% in the peat soil. However, the contents of EXC-Cu fraction were relatively similar among the applications of different EXC-meal extractants, 0.2 to 2.1 % of total Cu, in all soils tested. Also, these varied amounts of EXC-metal fractions, especially Cd and Zn, seriously impacted the contents of subsequent metal fractions in the procedure. Furthermore, the CAB-Cd, -Cu, and -Zn fractions extracted by the buffered acetate solution were in critical problem. That is, the buffered acetate solution dissolved not only CAB-metals but also metals that bound or occupied to subsequent fractions, especially OXD-metal fraction, in both calcareous and non-calcareous soils. The erratic results of CAB-fraction also seriously impacted the amounts of subsequent metal fractions. Therefore, the conventional sequential extraction should be reconsidered theoretically and experimentally to quantify the target metal fractions or might be progressively discarded.

양이온성 계면활성제인 HDTMA를 이용하여 치환시킨 유기 벤토나이트의 중금속 흡착능을 알아보았다. 카드뮴과 납의 흡착량은 pH와 흡착제 대 용액 비가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 이 실험을 통해 적정 pH 범위와 흡착제 대 용액 비를 결정하였다. 유기 벤토나이로의 중금속 흡착은 벤토나이트에 비해 약간 감소하였으며, 두 가지 중금속이 함께 존재하는 경우 경쟁에 의해 흡착량은 더 감소하였다. 유기 벤토나이트의 경우 카드뮴에 비해 납의 흡착 감소량은 더 두드러지게 나타났다. 이러한 흡착 mechanism을 hard-soft-acid-base (HSAB) 원리를 사용하여 설명하였다.

각종 산업폐수에서 심각한 환경문제를 야기시킬 수 있는 중금속(Ag, Pb, Cr, Cu, Zn, Mn) 이온들에 대한 국내산 주요 제올라이트의 흡착 성향 및 능력을 광물 조성 및 특성 분석과 일련의 흡착실험을 통해서 광석 단위로 평가해 보았다. 국내산 제올라이트 광석의 중금속 흡착 반응은 기본적으로는 양이온 교환방식에 의존되지만, 높은 CEC 값이 반드시 보다 많은 중금속 흡착능력을 의미하는 것은 아닌 것으로 나타난다. 제올라이트 광석의 중금속 흡착성향은 광종별로 다소 차이를 보이지만, 일반적으로 흡착선호도에 있어서 $Ag\geq$Pb>Cr, $Cu\geq$Zn>Mn와 같은 흡착 서열을 이루는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 휼란다이트는 Cr을 보다 더 선호하는 성향을 보이는 반면에, 클리놉틸로라이트는 Cu를 더 선호하는 경향을 나타낸다. 일반적으로 제올라이트의 광종에 관계없이 Ag와 Pb는 상대적으로 월등한 흡착선호도를 나타낸다. 특히 Ag는 Na에 의한 재용출 과정에서 전혀 유리되지 않을 정도로 제올라이트에 대한 높은 흡착성향을 보인다. 제올라이트 광석의 중금속 흡착능력은 광종별로 현격한 차이를 보인다: 페리어라이트>클리놉틸로라이트>휼란다이트. 이에 비해서 모오데나이트는 CEC 성향으로 보아 클리놉틸로라이트와 비슷한 수준인 것으로 해석된다. 제올라이트의 암모늄 이온에 대한 CEC 값과 중금속 이온 흡착능력은 엄밀히 잘 부합되지 않는 것으로 나타난다. 또한 제올라이트 광석들의 중금속 흡착능력은 대개 제올라이트의 함량, 즉 광석의 품위에 의존되는 경향을 보이지만, 광석에 따라 그 일반적 추이에서 크게 벗어난 흡착 양상을 보이기도 한다. 이는 제올라이트의 선택적 흡착특성, 중합단층의 존재와 같은 구조적 결함이나 천연상 교환성 양이온의 조성(특히 흡착선호도가 높은 K의 함유도)에 의한 효과로 추정된다. 국내산 제올라이트를 중금속 흡착제거용으로 응용하는 데에는 부존자원의 활용성, 경제성 및 성능을 고려하여 클리놉틸로라이트 계열의 광석을 사용하는 것이 합리적일 것으로 판단된다.

Cross linked chitosan beads showed high selective adsorption abilities in order of $Au^{3+}$ > $Hg^{2+}$ > $Cu^{2+}$ > $Cd^{2+}$ > $Pt^{4+}$ > ${UO_2}^{2+}$ ions in mixed solution of various metal ions at pH 4.5. N-methyltyiobenzylated chitosan beads(MTB-chitosan beads) were prepared treating with p-(methylthio) benzaldehyde after cross linking of chitosan beads to give them a high selectivity in adsorption of metal ions. The MTB-chitosan beads demonstrated their selectivity on precious metals among various metal ions distinctively. Particularly, the MTB-chitosan had a peculiar selective adsorption on $Pd^{2+}$, $Au^{2+}$, and $Hg^{2+}$ions whilst the cross linked chitosan beads showed its high adsorption on $Pd^{2+}$ at pH 1.1. On the other hand, the cross linked chitosan beads showed its superiority in selective adsorption on $Au^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, and $Hg^{2+}$ions to the MTB-chitosan at pH 4.5 of the test solution. Thus metal selectivities were given to chitosan beads through chemical modifications.

The binding of heavy metal ions onto cross-linked chitosan in dilute aqueous solution has been investigated as a function of pH (4.0 and 7.0), agitation period (10-180min) and concentration of various metal cations (5, 10, 50 and 100ppm). In order to obtain adsorbents that are insoluble and stable, and prevent the dissolution loss of chitosan into an acidic aqueous solution, chitosan flakes were cross-linked with epichlorohydrine (ECH) and its adsorption behavior was compared with that of the non cross-linked chitosan. An advantage of ECH is that it does not eliminate the cationic amine functional group of chitosan. In terms of adsorption ratio, the chitosan cross-linked at an ECH was inferior to original chitosan and was found that chitosan has a selectivity much remarkable than the cross-linked chitosan in low concentrated metal solutions. However, no significant decreases in the adsorption ratios were observed between the cross-linked ECH-chitosan and the non cross-linked chitosan concerning the adsorption of $Ni^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Pb^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ acidic solution.

Bacterial cell-based biosensors, or whole-cell bioreporters (WCBs), are an alternative tool for the quantification of hazardous materials. Most WCBs share similar working mechanisms. In brief, the recognition of a target by sensing domains induces a biological event, such as changes in protein conformation or gene expression, providing a basis for quantification. WCBs targeting heavy metal(loid)s employ metalloregulators as sensing domains and control the expression of genes in the presence of target metal(loid) ions, but the diversity of targets, specificity, and sensitivity of these WCBs are limited. In this study, we genetically engineered the metal-binding loop (MBL) of ZntR, which controls the znt-operon in Escherichia coli. In the MBL of ZntR, three Cys sites interact with metal ions. Based on the crystal structure of ZntR, MBL sequences were modified by site-directed mutagenesis. As a result, the metal-sensing properties of WCBs differed depending on amino acid sequences and the new selectivity to Cr or Pb was observed. Although there is room for improvement, our results support the use of currently available WCBs as a platform to generate new WCBs to target other environmental pollutants including metal(loid)s.

The biosorption of Pb and Cr by Sargassum thunbergii was investigated in a batch conditions. The Pb and Cr uptake capacity of Sargassum thunbergii was 232.5 mg Pb/g biomass and 91.6 mg Cr/g biomass, respectively. An adsorption equilibria was reached within about 0.5 hr for both the Pb and the Cr. The adsorption parameters for both the Pb and the Cr were determined according to the Langmuir and Freundlich model. With increasing pH values, more negative sites are becoming available for the adsorption of Pb and Cr. The selectivity of mixture solution showed an uptake order of Pb>Cu>Cr>Cd. Pb and Cr adsorbed by S. thunbergii could be recovered ken 0.1 M HCl, 0.1 M $HNO_3$ and 0.1M EDTA by a desorption process, and the efficiency of Pb desorption was above $95.8\%$, whereas the efficiency of the Cr desorption was below $50.7\%$.

Nowdays, fluorescent rhodamine chemosensors have attracted a worldwide interest due to its ability to selectively detect heavy and transition metal cations. Due to the importance in environmental and biological toxic effects, the developments of fluorescent chemosensors have been received considerable attention in recent. Especially, a rhodamine-based chemosensor probes have been proved to be useful by exhibiting the efficient "off-on" fluorescence switching toward selected metal cations. This fluorophore can undergo the transformation from non-fluorescent and colorless spirolactam derivative to fluorescent ring-open form. In this study, a new fluorescent chemosensor was synthesized using rhodamine B through two-step procedures, and its selectivity and related optical property were characterized. Selectivity and sensitivity was found toward $Cu^{2+}$ guest molecules and then related optical properties of rhodamine B based fluorescent chemosensor compound were characterized using discussed. In addition, computational calculation was used to determine the HOMO/LUMO values.
