| Abstract | In the present article we have demonstrated a swift and low-cost method to design hydrophobic paper and its potential applications for the determination of Ni2+ ions in wastewater. Styrofoam was used as a precursor to fabricate pristine filter paper into a low wetting substrate. The water contact angle (θ) of the modified paper was ∼111° whereas atomic force microscopy analysis ensured a uniform coating of the polymer onto cellulose fibers. Metal specific reagent 1-(2-mercaptophenyl)iminomethyl naphthalen-2-ol (MPMN) was manually arrayed and one-step assay for the determination of Ni2+ was demonstrated on the aforementioned substrates. The end-result was observed in the form of a distinct color change which was easily readable via the naked eye. We also quantitated the concentration of Ni2+ ions through flatbed scanning and scoring their pixel gray volume using image analysis software. On Styrofoam modified paper, the limit of detection was improved to 10−2 μg mL−1, which was 3-orders of magnitude lower than that observed on pristine filter paper. The MPMN reagent was highly selective towards Ni2+ in the presence of a high concentration of commonly diverse heavy metals (Ag+, Al3+, As3+, Ba2+, Cd2+, Cr3+, Fe3+, Pb2+ and Mn2+) and some other ions (Na+, Ca2+, K+ and Cl−) in water. Our developed method successfully demonstrated the semi-quantitative determination of Ni2+ ions in tap and municipal wastewater samples. Due to good specificity as well as accuracy towards Ni2+ ions, our low-cost sensor will be useful in point-of-use applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
