    Removal of heavy metals becomes increasingly crucial for public health and the environment. In this regard, Bi2S3 nanoflowers were produced for heavy metal ion removal applications. Nanoflowers are fabricated using hydrothermal synthesis, and then tested as adsorbents for the removal of lead (Pb2+) ions from aqueous systems. To assess the morphological and chemical characteristics, Bi2S3 nanoflowers were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. Flame atomic adsorption spectroscopy (FAAS) was used in the assessment of heavy metal ion recovery. To determine the optimum conditions of the adsorption system, the effect of different parameters such as pH, eluent type and amount, adsorbent dose, adsorbent time, etc. were investigated. For lead removal, the optimum pH value was determined as 5.0, eluent dose and type were found 1 M HNO3. For 20 mL, the optimum adsorbent dose and time were found 50.0 mg, and 30 min, respectively. The adsorption capacity of the Bi2S3 nanoflowers was found to be quite higher than the results reported in similar works. It was illustrated that Bi2S3 nanoflowers have great potential to be used in water remediation applications as sorbent material.

    Heavy metal ions threaten public health and marine life; thus, removal of heavy metals is essential for the environment. Bi2S3 nanostructures are active materials which used in various applications. In this work, we produced Bi2S3 nanoflowers using hydrothermal synthesis and assessed their Cd2+ ions removal capability. Structural properties of the Bi2S3 nanoflowers were assessed by various like scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction. Chemical characteristics of the materials were confirmed using energy dispersive X-ray spectra. Different parameters affecting the Cd2+ ion recovery was worked some of which are adsorbent amount, Cd2+ ion concentration, pH, adsorbent time, eluent type and amount, etc. For cadmium, the optimum pH was determined 8.0 for 1 M HNO3 eluent. Optimum adsorbent amount was determined as 150 mg while optimum recovery duration was found as 30 min. Bi2S3 nanoparticles managed to achieve 99.3% Cd2+ recovery rate in 5 mL eluent volume, for optimum condition. The adsorption capacity of the Bi2S3 nanoflowers was found to be promising and therefore, it was illustrated that Bi2S3 nanoflowers are good candidates as sorbent for water remediation applications.

    Structural and catalytic properties of Fe3O4doped Bi2S3novel magnetic nanocomposites: P-Nitrophenol case

    Kurnaz Yetim, Nurdan; Aslan, Naim; Koç, Mumin Mehmet

    Catalytic properties of Bi2S3 nanostructures, Fe3O4 nanoparticles and novel Bi2S3@Fe3O4 magnetic nanocomposites were investigated. Flower-like Bi2S3 nanostructures were produced using hydrothermal synthesis. Bi2S3 nanostructures were doped with Fe3O4 nanoparticles where Bi2S3@Fe3O4 novel magnetic nanocomposites was obtained. Structural characterization of the nanoflowers were performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Microscopic characterization of the nanoflowers was performed using electron microscopy where scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used in the characterization which confirms the flower like structures. Vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) confirmed the magnetic properties of the ferromagnetic characteristics of the magnetic nanocomposites. Optic properties of the nanoparticles were assessed using Ultraviolet - visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy. Band gap energies of the Bi2S3, Fe3O4 and Bi2S3@Fe3O4 were found to be 1.80 eV, 2.0 eV and 2.72 eV, respectively. Catalytic properties of the Bi2S3@Fe3O4 nanoparticles were confirmed using UV spectroscopy where reduction of p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol was assessed in the presence of NaBH4. It was concluded that Bi2S3 nanostructures and Bi2S3@Fe3O4 nanocomposites showed better catalytic performance than that of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Such a case was attributed to increased surface area - volume ratio. Results indicate that nanocomposites have the potential to be used in the wastewater treatment.
