Abstract:
Mercury and lead toxicity in water has serious repercussions on human health. There is an urgent need to develop effective and efficient small moieties for their removal. The convenient one-pot synthesis of a few N3Se3 type small sized moieties is reported herein. The highest metal ion uptake capacity of Hg(II) and Pb(II) ions was found to be 314.3 mg g-1 and 93.5 mg g-1, respectively, by ICP-MS analysis. These ion uptake values are the highest for small sized moieties known in the literature to date.
