MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611053237 A) filed by Poornima University; and Dr. Seema Yadav, Jaipur, Rajasthan, on April 27, for 'method for selective detection and removal of heavy metal and toxic ions from aqueous samples.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Seema Yadav.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a structurally integrated device for selective detection and removal of heavy metal ions and toxic anions from aqueous samples using water-soluble fluorescent probe compositions. The device comprises a fluid intake unit, a probe interaction chamber containing analyte-specific fluorescent probes, an excitation unit for inducing fluorescence, an optical detection unit for capturing emission signals, and a processor configured to perform signal conditioning, calibration mapping, and quantitative analysis of analyte concentration. The probes are engineered to produce fluorescence enhancement upon interaction with target species such as mercury ions, arsenic compounds, and fluoride ions, enabling high sensitivity and selectivity in fully aqueous environments. The device further includes a contaminant removal unit comprising adsorption or ion-exchange materials configured to selectively eliminate detected analytes from the sample."
