China has one of the world’s fastest-growing economies due to its increase in various industrial activities. A side effect of economic growth is severe environmental problems such as heavy metal contamination of soil and groundwater. Anthropogenic activities are the main sources of cadmium which is highly mobile and toxic with the potential to bioaccumulate in the ecosystem. It can contaminate ground and river water consequently negatively impacting agriculture and water sources. Anthropogenic source of Cd concentrations in China is 0.002 mg/L in drinking water, 0.102 mg/kg in soil, and 0.23–0.96 mg/kg in paddy soil. Geological trends and health implications of cadmium contamination in Human, southern China were analyzed. Source, transportation, and various conventional remediation processes exist today and can be categorized as biological, physical, and chemical. Using nanoparticle technology, it has been found that adsorption capacities can be 3 to 4 times higher compared to using powdered activated carbon. From the experiment carried out, a maximum adsorption capacity of 10.86 mg/g for cadmium was obtained. Cadmium intake in south China populations occurred at an alarming rate and most children were at greater risk of being affected. Therefore, cadmium contamination should be taken seriously by the responsible authorities.

Various metals including Sn, Ge, and Zr have been successfully incorporated into the MFI nanosheets via a one-pot synthesis. The as-synthesized zeolites exhibit high external surface area and mesopore volume without large metal oxides aggregated on zeolite surfaces. Interestingly, the successful introduction of heteroatoms in MFI nanosheets can be confirmed by shifted XRD peaks corresponding to the unit cell expansion due to the replacement of metals into the framework. In addition, the UV-Vis absorbance spectra reveal that at the suitable metal loading the incorporated tetrahedral coordination of metal species in the zeolite framework has been obtained. To illustrate the benefits of the prepared catalysts, the glucose isomerization to fructose was carried out in a water/dioxane system. Obviously, the SnMFI-NS samples, containing the high dispersion of metal isomorphous species demonstrate the outstanding catalytic behavior in term of fructose selectivity (>85 %).
