Demonstrates mercury ion detection and removal in water using anthocyanins, suggesting sustainable solutions for water purification.

Mercury ions are effectively detected and removed using natural anthocyanins, highlighting their potential as eco-friendly alternatives.
The approach showed a significant reduction in mercury ion concentration, with a removal efficiency reaching over 90% in controlled settings.
Mechanistic insights were derived from density functional theory (DFT) studies, revealing how anthocyanins interact with mercury ions in solution.
These findings support the use of anthocyanins for water treatment, indicating a promising path toward sustainable environmental monitoring.
