“…Being present in the air, they also find their way into water or soil, where they are absorbed by living organisms. In them, they accumulate in tissues, causing all sorts of negative health effects, and the increasing concentration of heavy metals in recent years is one of the most troublesome elements of environmental contamination [ 2 , 3 , 4 ].…”

A simple and fast stripping voltammetric procedure for trace determination of Ce(III) in environmental water samples has been developed. The procedure of cerium determination in the presence of Alizarin S and acetate buffer was employed as the initial method. The adsorption material, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, was used as a screen-printed electrode modifier ensuring efficient accumulation of the Ce(III)-Alizarin S complex. The calibration graph for Ce(III) for an accumulation time of 60 s was linear in the range from 1 × 10−8 to 7 × 10−7 mol L−1 with the linear correlation coefficient r = 0.997. The detection limit was estimated from three times the standard deviation of low Ce(III) concentration and an accumulation time of 60 s was about 3.5 × 10−9 mol L−1. The proposed method was successfully applied to Ce(III) determination at trace levels in environmental water samples, such as river, lake and rain water with recoveries ranged from 93% to 98%.

“…Heavy metals are a collection of natural chemical elements that exhibit metallic properties, distinguished by their relatively high density of more than 5 g/cm 3 [1]. Heavy metals make up the majority of the periodic table of chemical elements, including those present in the scandium group, which includes cerium, the subject of this work.…”

“…In addition, heavy metals are introduced into water and soil by sewage sludge and organic waste manure, industrial byproducts, and wastewater irrigation [4]. Furthermore, the extraction of heavy metals from ores can pose significant environmental risks when certain areas are left unattended, and heavy metals may subsequently be displaced to other locations as a result of flooding or wind [5].…”

Microbial-Based Heavy Metal Bioremediation: Toxicity and Eco-Friendly Approaches to Heavy Metal Decontamination

2023

There are several industrial processes in which heavy metals are used, including but not limited to chrome plating and tanning. Amongst the most toxic heavy metals to human health are arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, copper, nickel, and mercury. The aforementioned toxic metals possess the ability to cause contamination upon their release into the environment. Humans and aquatic and terrestrial animals are at risk from heavy metals in water and soil. Heavy metal toxicity has the potential to result in several health complications, such as renal and hepatic impairment, dermatological afflictions, cognitive lethargy, and potentially oncogenic manifestations. The removal of heavy metals from wastewater and soil can be accomplished using a variety of conventional methods, such as membrane filtration, reverse osmosis, chemical reduction, and adsorption. These methods have several disadvantages, such as generating an abundance of secondary pollutants, and entail significantly higher costs in comparison to biological methods. Conversely, eco-friendly techniques based on microbes have numerous advantages. This review provides a comprehensive overview of biological processes that remove heavy metal ions, both metabolically dependent and metabolically independent. Additionally, we also focused on the source and toxicity of these heavy metals. This study is expected to be particularly beneficial for the development of biological heavy metal treatment systems for soil and water.
