Abstract

This review paper comprehensively explores advanced strategies for the efficient removal of mercury ions from aqueous solutions using functionalized carbon nanotube-encapsulated alginate beads. The study covers the entire spectrum of the research, ranging from design and synthesis to theoretical calculations and practical applications.The composite material is synthesized by encapsulating functionalized carbon nanotubes within alginate beads, creating a unique structure with enhanced affinity for mercury ions. Density functional theory calculations provide insights into the molecular interactions between the functional groups and mercury ions, shedding light on the underlying adsorption mechanisms. Batch experiments reveal significant mercury ion removal capacity, while fixed-bed processes simulate real-world scenarios, demonstrating the composite's performance under continuous flow conditions. This work not only showcases the material's practical efficacy but also enhances the understanding of the adsorption process through a seamless integration of experimental results and theoretical calculations. By offering a holistic view of the design, synthesis, mechanistic insights, and practical applications, this review paper contributes to the advancement of effective water treatment technologies, addressing the critical issue of mercury contamination in aquaticenvironments
