Description
Summary:Pollution from heavy metal ions has become a major issue worldwide. Water pollution, particularly with heavy metals like mercury, is a global problem. Developing environmentally friendly, low-cost, high-efficiency, sensitive, and selective sensors for the detection of mercury( ii ) ions in aqueous environments has attracted great interest in industry and academia. In this research paper, a bodipy-functionalized magnetic fluorescent MSp-TAB hybrid material was developed for detecting mercury( ii ) in aqueous media. The magnetic fluorescent MSp-TAB hybrid material was characterized using FT-IR, SEM, EDX, XRD, and TGA. We studied the influence of diverse factors such as contact time, temperature, and pH on the detection of Hg( ii ). The fluorometric study demonstrated that the developed magnetic-fluorescent hybrid material was sensitive/selective for Hg( ii ) ions in the absence and presence of interfering ions with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.72 μM. In conclusion, the developed magnetic fluorescent MSp-TAB hybrid material has demonstrated its applicability and potential for accurate, sensitive, and practical detection of Hg( ii ) in tap water samples. Pollution from heavy metal ions has become a major issue worldwide.
