ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 104:106817. [PMID: 38394824 PMCID: PMC10906511 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
A comprehensive investigation aimed to access the impacts of ultrasonic, microwave, and ultrasonic-microwave synergistic modification on the physicochemical properties, microstructure, and functional properties of corn bran insoluble dietary fiber (CBIDF). Our findings revealed that CBIDF presented a porous structure with loose folds, and the particle size and relative crystallinity were slightly decreased after modification. The CBIDF, which was modified by ultrasound-microwave synergistic treatment, exhibited remarkable benefits in terms of its adsorption capacity, and cholate adsorption capacity. Furthermore, the modification improved the in vitro hypoglycemic activity of the CBIDF by enhancing glucose absorption, retarding the starch hydrolysis, and facilitating the diffusion of glucose solution. The findings from the in vitro probiotic activity indicate that ultrasound-microwave synergistic modification also enhances the growth-promoting ability and adsorbability of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum. Additionally, the level of soluble dietary fiber was found to be positively correlated with CBIDF adsorbability, while the crystallinity of CBIDF showed a negative correlation with α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition activity, as well as water-holding capacity, and oil-holding capacity.

Biowaste-based sorbents for arsenic removal from aqueous medium and risk assessment. ENVIRONMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY AND HEALTH 2023; 45:9017-9028.

Abstract
Water contamination by arsenic (As) is widespread and is posing serious health threats globally. Hence, As removal techniques/adsorbents need to be explored to minimize potentials hazards of drinking As-contaminated waters. A column scale sorption experiment was performed to assess the potential of three biosorbents (tea waste, wheat straw and peanut shells) to remove As (50, 100, 200 and 400 µg L-1) from aqueous medium at a pH range of 5-8. The efficiency of agricultural biosorbents to remove As varies greatly regarding their type, initial As concentration in water and solution pH. It was observed that all of the biosorbents efficiently removed As from water samples. The maximum As removal (up to 92%) was observed for 400 µg L-1 initial As concentration. Noticeably, at high initial As concentrations (200 and 400 μg L-1), low pH (5 and 6) facilitates As removal. Among the three biosorbents, tea waste biosorbent showed substantial ability to minimize health risks by removing As (up to 92%) compared to peanut shells (89%) and wheat straw (88%). Likewise, the values of evaluated risk parameters (carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk) were significantly decreased (7-92%: average 66%) after biosorption experiment. The scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray and X-ray diffraction analyses confirmed the potential of biosorbents to remediate As via successful loading of As on their surfaces. Hence, it can be concluded that synthesized biosorbents exhibit efficient and ecofriendly potential for As removal from contaminated water to minimize human health risk.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a rice straw biosorbent in batch adsorption for the removal of chromium (Cr(VI)) and lead (Pb(II)) heavy-metal ions from wastewater. The biosorbent was chemically synthesized and activated by using concentrated sulfuric acid. The produced biosorbent was then characterized by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses, which provided insights into surface morphology and functional groups. The study examined the effects of pH, rice straw dose, ion concentration, and contact time on metal ion adsorption. Optimal conditions for efficient removal (95.57% for Cr(VI) and 85.68% for Pb(II)) were achieved at a pH of 2.0, a biosorbent dose of 2 g/L, an initial concentration of 20 mg/L, and a contact time of 50 min in synthetic solutions. The isotherms and kinetics model fitting results found that both metal ion adsorption processes were multilayer on the hetero surface of rice straw biosorbent via rate diffusion kinetics. Thermodynamic investigations were conducted, and the results strongly indicate that the adsorption process is endothermic and spontaneous. Notably, the results indicated that the highest desorption rate was achieved by adding 0.3 N HCl to the system.

Abstract
As the world's second most abundant renewable natural phenolic polymer after cellulose, lignin is an extremely complex, amorphous, highly cross-linked class of aromatic polyphenolic macromolecules. Due to its special aromatic structure, lignin is considered to be one of the most suitable candidates to replace fossil materials, thus the research on lignin functional materials has received extensive attention. Because lignin has stimuli-sensitive groups such as phenolic hydroxyl, hydroxyl, and carboxyl, the preparation of stimuli-responsive lignin-based functional materials by combining lignin with some stimuli-responsive polymers is a current research hotspot. Therefore, this article will review the research progress of stimuli-responsive lignin-based functional materials in order to guide the subsequent work. Firstly, we elaborate the source and preparation of lignin and various types of lignin pretreatment methods. We then sort out and discuss the preparation of lignin stimulus-responsive functional materials according to different stimuli (pH, light, temperature, ions, etc.). Finally, we further envision the scope and potential value of lignin stimulus-responsive functional materials for applications in actuators, optical coding, optical switches, solar photothermal converters, tissue engineering, and biomedicine.

Rape Straw Supported FeS Nanoparticles with Encapsulated Structure as Peroxymonosulfate and Hydrogen Peroxide Activators for Enhanced Oxytetracycline Degradation. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28062771. [PMID: 36985744 PMCID: PMC10053016 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28062771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Revised: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Iron-based catalysts with high load content of iron sulfide (FeS) were commonly peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) activators to degrade organic pollutants but limited catalytic efficiency and increased risk of ferrous ion leaching restricted their use. Meanwhile, various biomass materials such as straw, peel, and branch have been extensively prepared into biochar for mechanical support for iron-based catalysts; however, the preparation process of biochar was energy-intensive. In this study, FeS nanoparticles modified rape straw composites (RS-FeS) encapsulated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (RS-EDTA-FeS) were successfully presented by in-situ synthesis method for efficiently activating PMS and H2O2 to degrade oxytetracycline (OTC), which was economical and environmentally friendly. The results showed that the modified rape straw can remove OTC efficiently, and the addition of EDTA also significantly enhanced the stability and the reusability of the catalyst. In addition, EDTA also promoted the activation of H2O2 at neutral pH. The OTC degradation efficiency of the two catalysts by PMS was faster than that of H2O2, but H2O2 had a stronger ability to remove OTC than PMS. The highest OTC removal efficiency of RS-FeS and RS-EDTA-FeS were 87.51 and 81.15%. O2•- and 1O2 were the major reactive oxidative species (ROS) in the PMS system. Furthermore, compared with RS-FeS, the addition of EDTA inhabited the generation of O2•- in the PMS system. Instead, O2•- and •OH were the major ROS in the H2O2 system, but 1O2 was also identified in RS-FeS/H2O2 system. RS-EDTA-FeS showed a trend of rising first and then decreasing in recycle test. Instead, the removal rate of OTC by RS-FeS decreased significantly with the increase in reuse times. In the actual wastewater test, the TOC removal of two catalysts active by H2O2 was better than PMS, which was consistent with the test results of OTC, indicating that the two catalysts have application value in the removal of organic pollutants in actual wastewater. This study directly used plant materials as catalysts and omits the preparation process of biochar, greatly reduces the preparation cost and secondary pollution of catalysts, and provides theoretical support for the deepening of advanced oxidation technology.

Abstract
Water pollution with dye effluents from different industries is a broadly established environmental and health problem that needs serious attention. In this study, making use of Acacia nilotica seed extract, greenly synthesized MnO2 nanoparticles were loaded on the surface of biochar derived from palm waste (MnO2/PF), with specific surface areas of 70.97 m2/g. Batch experiments were adopted, aiming to evaluate the performance of palm fronds, biochar, and the MnO2/PF adsorbents in methyl orange (MO) removal from an aqueous solution. The feedstock and synthesized biochars were comprehensively characterized using XRD, SEM-EDX, FTIR, and BET surface area techniques. Moreover, the influences of the modification of palm fronds, initial dye concentrations, pH, and adsorbent dosage on MO uptake were examined. The results demonstrated that MnO2/PF biochar nanocomposite led to an increase in the removal efficiency by 6 and 1.5 times more than those of palm fronds and biochar, respectively. In addition, it was found that the second-order kinetic model presented the kinetic adsorption very well. This paper demonstrates that the depositing of greenly synthesized MnO2 nanoparticles on the date palm waste biochar forms a novel adsorbent (MnO2/PF) for the removal of MO from aqueous solutions. Furthermore, this adsorbent was easy to synthesize under moderate conditions without the need for chemical capping agents, and would thus be cost-effective and eco-friendly.

Abstract
The potential of raw durian husk and NaOH-modified durian husk as an adsorbent, using different doses, 0.5 g, 1.0 g, 1.5 g, and 2.0 g, is investigated to improve soaking water of pepper berries during the retting process. The surface area and the pore size of the durian husk were examined using Brunner Emmett and Teller analysis. The surface area of NaOH-modified durian husk is higher (2.33 m2/g) compared to the raw durian husk (1.51 m2/g). NaOH-modified durian husk has a higher porous structure than the raw durian husk, but both pore diameters are more than 50 nm, which is considered micropore raw material. The effect of the raw durian husk on pH, chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved oxygen (DO), and turbidity were compared to the NaOH-modified durian husk with different doses. The 2.0 g of NaOH-modified durian husk enhanced changes in the four parameters. The highest pH value using NaOH-modified durian husk was 6.10 ± 0.02, while turbidity and COD increased to 971.33 ± 1.15 NTU and 1984.67 ± 3.21 mg/L, respectively. The DO of NaOH-modified durian husk shows the lowest reduction to 1.49 mg/L with 2.0 g of NaOH-modified durian husk. The experimental data was best fitted with a first-order kinetic model. Durian husk treated with NaOH could be used as a potential adsorbent to enhance the soaking water for pepper berries.

Abstract
Coal mine pollution is a serious threat to the mine safe production and occupational health of miners. Chemical dust suppression can effectively reduce the concentration of coal dust and suppress the re-entrainment of dust. This paper discusses the research progress of three kinds of traditional dust suppressants: the wetting-type, cohesive type, and condensed type. In order to meet dust suppression and environmental protection requirements, 7 kinds of new type dust suppressants, such as compound, ecological environmental protection, polymer, functional, microbes, and enzymes, have been developed by the predecessors. And all kinds of dust suppressant mechanism and main performance index have been summarized. Through the analysis of the research results from 1985 to 2021, it is found that the compound and environment-friendly dust suppressants have gradually become the research focus in this field, accounting for 17.93% and 26.21% of the total number of achievements. In the recent 5 years, new materials, such as microbe suppressant, urease suppressant, and nanomaterials, have gradually emerged. Because of their natural and environmental protection characteristics, it could be predicted that they will become the future development trend in this field. However, there are still some problems to be improved, such as expensive price and complex preparation technology.

Abstract
Potentially toxic elements including lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), and copper (Cu) released from copper tailings would cause severe long-term environmental risks and potential threats to human health. To prevent these negative effects caused by the release of the metals, a novel magnetic carboxyl groups modified bagasse with high adsorption affinity and strong magnetism was synthesized through an in-situ precipitation method and used to simultaneously remove Pb, Mn, and Cu from the eluate of copper tailings. Results showed that release of Pb, Mn, and Cu from the copper tailings was pH, time, and particle size dependent, and maximum concentrations of them released in the eluate was 1.7, 1.9, and 4.1 mg L-1 under weak acid conditions. Batch adsorption experiment showed that the as-synthesized magnetic modified bagasse could selectively absorb Pb, Mn, and Cu from a complex solution with adsorption capacity of 137.3, 13.1, and 90.0 mg g-1, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy dispersive spectroscopy-mapping (EDS-mapping) demonstrated that Pb, Mn, and Cu interacted with the magnetic modified biosorbent mainly through coordination and ion exchange. Column experiments showed that higher than 99.5% of the released Pb, Mn, and Cu could be simultaneously removed by the magnetic modified bagasse, and the maximum concentrations of them released in the eluate of the copper tailings were all decreased to lower than 0.01 mg L-1, which reached the discharge standards. After recycled by a magnet, the magnetic modified bagasse could be collected easily and used repeatedly. Because of the high efficiency and easy recovery, the used method had great practical application value in removal of potentially toxic elements released from metallic tailings.

Abstract
This study was designed for determining the effect of particle size on the functional properties of corn bran insoluble dietary fiber (IDF). Results showed that some physicochemical properties were improved with the decrease in particle size. The structure of the IDF was observed by the scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The surface was found wrinkled and sparse, the particle size was smaller, the crystallinity of IDF had increased slightly, and more -OH and C-O groups were exposed. Moreover, the corn bran IDF with a smaller particle size had a better hypoglycemic effect in vitro, and the inhibitory activity of α-glucosidase and α-amylase were also increased significantly with the decrease in particle size (p < 0.05). When the IDF was 300 mesh, the inhibitory rate of α-glucosidase was 61.34 ± 1.12%, and the inhibitory rate of α-amylase was 17.58 ± 0.33%. It had increased by 25.54 and 106.83%, respectively compared to the control treatment (CK) group. In addition, correlation analysis found that the particle size was highly negatively correlated with some functional properties of IDF (p < 0.05), and the content of cellulose was positively correlated with the functional properties of IDF except WHC (p < 0.05). To sum up, reducing particle size was suitable for the development of high value-added IDF products. This study also revealed the potential value of corn bran IDF and provided a new idea for the diversified application of IDF.

Abstract
Eutrophicating compounds promote the growth of cyanobacteria, which has the potential of releasing toxic compounds. Alternative raw materials, such as residues, have been used in efficient adsorption systems in water treatment. The aim of the present study was to apply the residue Okara in its original form and modified by hydrolysis with immobilization of magnetic nanoparticles as an adsorbent. For the removal, the cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa was chosen, as well as its secondary metabolites, L-amino acids leucine and arginine (MC-LR microcystin), from aqueous solutions. The adsorbents presented a negative surface charge, and the x-ray diffraction (DRX) outcomes successfully demonstrated the immobilization of iron oxide nanoparticles on the adsorbents. The adsorbent with the best result was the Okara hydrolyzed and functionalized with iron oxide, which showed a 47% (qe = 804.166 cel/g) and 85% (qe = 116.94 µg/L) removal for the cyanobacteria cells and chlorophyll-a, respectively. The kinetics study demonstrated a pseudo-first-order adsorption with maximal adsorption in 480 minutes, removing 761 µg/L of chlorophyll-a. In this trial, a low organic material removal has occurred, with a removal rate of 5% (qe = 0.024 mg/g) in the analysis of compounds in absorbance by ultraviolet light (UV) monitored by optical density determination in 254 nm (OD254). Nevertheless, the reaction system with the presence of organic material removed 53,28% of the MC-LR toxin, with adsorption capacities of 2.84 µg/L in a preliminary trial conducted for two hours, arising as a potential and alternative adsorbent with a capacity of removing cyanobacteria and cyanotoxin cells simultaneously.

Abstract
In this paper, a simple one-pot thermal synthesis method was used to successfully prepare Cu2+/biochar-doped TiO2 composite catalytic materials. The photocatalytic hydrogen production performance of the composites under different environmental conditions (dark, solar, and visible light irradiation) was analyzed in a biomass photocatalytic system using a corn straw suspension as a sacrificial agent. The Cu2+/biochar-doped TiO2 materials were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, FT-IR, XPS, and UV analysis. The photoelectric properties of the Cu2+/biochar-doped TiO2 composites were also analyzed, and the charge separation mechanism of photogenerated carriers under different environmental conditions was investigated. Compared with pure TiO2, the hydrogen production rate of Cu2+/biochar-doped TiO2 is 23.6 times higher under visible light irradiation and 16.8 times higher under simulated solar irradiation. Using density functional theory, a crystal structure model of Cu2+/biochar-doped TiO2 was established to analyze its energy band structure and density of states. An analysis of the mechanism shows that under simulated sunlight irradiation, the synergistic effect of the TiO2 doped with Cu2+ and biochar causes the formation of a potential Schottky heterojunction on the surface and induces interfacial charge transfer. Furthermore, under visible light irradiation, the photocatalytic production of hydrogen by the Cu2+/biochar-doped TiO2 composite is mainly due to the surface plasmon resonance mechanism of Cu ion-doped TiO2.
