Various groups of industrial and agricultural pollutants (heavy metal ions, cyanides, and pesticides) can be detected by enzymes. Since heavy metal ions inhibit urease, cyanides inhibit peroxidase, organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides inhibit butyrylcholinesterase, these enzymes were co-immobilized into a bovine serum albumin gel on the surface of an ion-sensitive field effect transistor to create a bioprobe that is sensitive to the compounds mentioned above. The sensitivity of the present sensor towards KCN corresponded to $1\;\mu\textrm{M}$ with 1 min of incubation time. The detection limits for Hg(II) ions and the pesticide carbofuran were 0.1 and $0.5\;\mu\textrm{M}$, respectively, when a 10 min sensor incubation time in contaminated samples was chosen. The total time for determining the concentrations of all species mentioned did not exceed 20 min.

A new PVC membrane potentiometric sensor that is highly selective to Hg2+ ions was prepared, using bis(2-hydroxybenzophenone) butane-2,3-dihydrazone (HBBD) as an excellent hexadendates neutral carrier. The sensor works satisfactorily in the concentration range of 1.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-1 mol L-1 (detection limit 4 × 10-7 mol L-1) with a Nernstian slope of 29.7 mV per decade. This electrode showed a fast response time (~8 s) and was used for at least 12 weeks without any divergence. The sensor exhibits good Hg2+ selectivity for a broad range of common alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metal ions (lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, copper, nickel, cobalt, zinc, cadmium, lead and lanthanum). The electrode response is pH independent in the range of 1.5-4.0. Furthermore, the developed sensor was successfully used as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of mercury ions with potassium iodide and the direct determination of mercury in some binary and ternary mixtures.

Poly (vinylchloride) (PVC) membrane electrodes based on neutral carrier, tetracycline was prepared as an active sensor for Hg(II) ion, and tested in different contents of the potassium tetrakis (4-chlorophenyl) borate (KTpClPB) as lipophilic salt. Bis (2-ethylhexyl) sebacate (DOS), bis(l-butylpentyl) adipate (BBPA), 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether (NPOE) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) were used as diverse plasticizing solvent mediators. This electrode shows excellent potentiometric response characteristics and display good linearity with log $[Hg^{+2}]$ versus EMF response, over a range of concentrations between $10^{-7}$ and $10^{-3}M$. With 30.8mV/decade Nernstian slope, the detection limit was $6.9{\times}10^{-9}M$ and the response time was less than 20s. The proposed electrode yields very good selectivity for mercury (II) ion over many cations such as alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metal ions. And it shows a very stable potential values in a wide pH range. This reliable electrode prepared was kept at least a month without considerable alteration in their response to Hg (II) ion.

수은(II) 이온 센서로 이온투과 담체로서 bis(benzoylacetone) propylenediimine (H2(BA)2PD)을 근간으로 하는 새로운 이온 선택 PVC 막 전극이 개발하였다. 이 전극은 좋은 감응 특성을 보였고, 29.8±0.75 mV/10의 Nernstian 기울기로 부터 1.0×10-6-1.0×10-1 M 수은(II) 이온 농도 범위에서 선형 Emf vs. log[Hg2+]를 보였다. pH 2.5-11.5에서 검출한계는 2.2×10-7 M Hg(II)를 보였다. 다수의 전위 간섭이온에의 수은(II)이온 대한 선택 농도에 대해 역시 연구되었다. 이 센서는 다른 전하와 함께 많은 수의 양이온에 있어 수은(II)이온에 대해 고선택성을 보였다. 이 센 서는 60초 안에 빠는 감응을 보이며 화학적으로 불활성인 것을 알아 내었고 3개월 동안 좋은 재현성을 보였다(S = 0.27 mV). 이 전극은 실제 시료에서 수은(II)이온 의 분석에 대해 서도 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었다.

Two new chemosensors, rhodamine 6G derivative bearing hydroxyethyl group (1) and rhodamine base derivative bearing 15-crown-5 group (2) were synthesized and their sensing behaviors toward various metal ions were investigated by UV/Vis and fluorescence spectroscopies. Addition of $Hg^{2+}$ ion to a $CH_3CN$ solution of 1 and 2 gave visual color changes as well as fluorescent OFF-ON observations. Selectivity and sensitivity of 1 towards $Hg^{2+}$ are excellent enough to detect micromolar level of $Hg^{2+}$ ion, even in equeous media and biological sample (HeLa cell).

A new chemosensor based on a self-assembled system has been devised to detect Hg²⁺ions efficiently. We demonstrated that the amphiphilic building blocks consisting of pyrene and boronic acid (1) aggregate in aqueous solutions and provide an outstanding sensing platform for sensitive detection. The self-assembled 1 exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity for Hg²⁺ion detection via fluorescence quenching, where the Hg²⁺ion detection ensued from a fast transmetallation of 1. The Stern-Volmer (SV) quenching constant for its fluorescence quenching by Hg²⁺ions was approximately 1.58 × 10⁸ M^-1. In addition, self-assembled 1 exhibited excellent sensing abilities at nano-molar concentration levels when tap water and freshwater samples were contaminated with of Hg²⁺ ions.

A new coumarin-thiazolobenzo-crown ether based fluorogenic chemosensor BTC (1) was reported. The ion-selective binding properties of 1 with different alkali, alkaline earth metals and transitional metals were investigated in an ethanol-DMSO system. BTC (1) showed the highest binding constant toward $Hg^{2+}$ over $Ag^+$, $Pb^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$.

We report a highly sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform for the selective trace analysis of mercury (II) ions in drinkable water using aptamer-conjugated silver nanoparticles. Here, an aptamer designed to specifically bind to $Hg^{2+}$ ions in aqueous solution was labelled with a TAMRA moiety at the 5' end and used as a Raman reporter. Polyamine spermine tetrahydrochloride (spermine) was used to promote surface adsorption of the aptamer probes onto the silver nanoparticles. When $Hg^{2+}$ ions are added to the system, binding of $Hg^{2+}$ with T-T pairs results in a conformational rearrangement of the aptamer to form a hairpin structure. As a result of the reduced of electrostatic repulsion between silver nanoparticles, aggregation of silver nanoparticles occurs, and the SERS signal is significantly increased upon the addition of $Hg^{2+}$ ions. Under optimized assay conditions, the concentration limit of detection was estimated to be 5 nM, and this satisfies a limit of detection below the EPA defined limit of 10 nM in drinkable water.

급격한 산업화와 인구수 증가로 인한 환경 수질 오염이 발생하고 있다. 더불어 날씨 패턴의 변화로 인해 빗물이 부족해지자, 폐수를 깨끗한 물로 재활용하기 위한 요구가 나날이 늘어나고 있다. 색변화를 이용한 수중 속 중금속 검출은 아주 간단하고 효과적인 기술이다. 본 논문에는 멤브레인을 이용한 수은 이온 색검출에 대해 자세하게 논의되어 있다. 셀룰로스, 폴리카프로락톤, 키토산, 폴리설폰 등의 멤브레인이 금속 이온 검출을 지지체로서 사용되었다. 지지체로서 사용된 멤브레인들은 나노 섬유를 기반으로 하며 표면적이 크며, 중금속 검출의 활성 부위로 사용하기에 탁월하다. 나노 섬유를 기반으로 한 재료는 에너지, 환경, 그리고 바이오메디컬 연구에서 다양하게 응용될 수 있다. 나노 섬유로 이루어진 멤브레인들은 폴리머에 있는 적용기를 많이 받아들일 수 있으며, 표면적이 넓고 다공성이라는 장점이 있다. 이로 인해 멤브레인의 표면 구조를 변화시키거나 리간드를 섬유 표면에 부착해 나노 입자 결합을 더 쉽게 해준다.
