Abstract
1,2,3-Triazole-based gemini bis-quaternary ammonium surfactants with varying hydrophobic chain length and ethylene or butylene spacers were synthesized and characterized. Their surface and aggregation properties were analyzed using tensiometry and conductimetry. The gemini surfactants showed significantly lower CMC values compared to their single-tail counterparts and conventional gemini surfactants described in the literature. The micellization and surface adsorption processes in water can be tailored according to the hydrophobic chain and the spacer length and were substantially improved by the presence of the heterocycle. These surfactants are active against various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial stains, as well as fungi. The gemini surfactant with tetradecyl chain and ethylene spacer (Bis 14-2-14) exhibited the highest activity against all investigated microbial strains.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 241:117616. [PMID: 37956750 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
High nitrate concentration in water can lead to eutrophication and the disruption of healthy aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, in the human digestive system, it has the potential to be reduced to nitrite, which can be damaging to people's physical health. Catalytic hydrogenation of nitrate is one of the strategies for removing nitrate from water. Using A520E resin as support, we prepared Pd/Cu nano-catalyst (Pd/Cu@A520E) according to a liquid phase reduction method. A520E could improve the transfer process of nitrate in the solution to the activity sites of Pd/Cu nanoparticles, thus increase the reaction rate of nitrate reduction. Pd/Cu bimetallic nano-particles were evenly distributed on/in the resin with a size range from 2 nm to 10 nm. The External Circulating System equipped with Venturi tube (ECSV) was designed to improve the utilization efficiency of H2 in both batch tests and long-term continuous-flow tests. Nearly 100% of nitrate removal efficiency and above 90% of N2 selectivity were achieved in both batch tests and continuous-flow tests. Coexisting Cl- and SO42- at 300 mg/L showed little impact on the property of Pd/Cu@A520E. Pd/Cu@A520E also showed high nitrate removal property and stability in continuous-flow tests of more than 800 h. NO3- was adsorbed onto the active sites (functional groups and Pd/Cu particle sites), meanwhile H2 was adsorbed onto the active sites of Pd/Cu@A520E to form Pd [H]. Then the adsorbed NO3- was reduced into N2 (main product) or NH4+ by Pd [H]. In addition, Pd/Cu@A520E showed high nitrate removal property from municipal waste water.

Efficient microbial cellulose/Fe 3O 4 nanocomposite for photocatalytic degradation by advanced oxidation process of textile dyes. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 326:138453. [PMID: 36958497 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2022] [Revised: 02/19/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Fenton-type advanced oxidative processes (AOP) have been employed to treat textile dyes in aqueous solution and industrial effluent. The work focused on assisting the limitations still presented by the Fenton process regarding the use of suspended iron catalysts. Soon, a nanocomposite of bacterial cellulose (BC) and magnetite (Fe3O4) was developed. It has proven to be superior to those available in the literature, exhibiting purely catalytic properties and high reusability. Its successful production was verified through analytical characterization, while its catalytic potential was investigated in the treatment of different textile matrices. In initial tests, the photo-Fenton process irradiated and catalyzed by sunlight and BC/Fe3O4 discolored 92.19% of an aqueous mixture of four textile dyes. To improve the efficiency, the design of experiments technique evaluated the influence of the variables pH, [H2O2], and the number of BC/Fe3O4 membranes. 99.82% of degradation was obtained under optimized conditions using pH 5, 150 mg L-1 of H2O2, and 11 composite membranes. Reaction kinetics followed a pseudo-first-order model, effectively reducing the organic matter (COD = 83.24% and BOD = 88.13%). The composite showed low iron leaching (1.60 ± 0.08 mg L-1) and high stability. It was recovered and reused for 15 consecutive cycles, keeping the treatment efficiency at over 90%. As for the industrial wastewater, the photo-Fenton/sunlight/BC/Fe3O4 system showed better results when combined with the physical-chemical coagulation/flocculation process previously used in the industry's WWTP. Together they reduced COD by 77.77%, also meeting the color standards (DFZ scale) for the wavelengths of 476 nm (<3 m-1), 525 nm (<5 m-1), and 620 nm (<7 m-1). Thus, the results obtained demonstrated that employing the BC/Fe3O4 composite as an iron catalyst is a suitable alternative to materials employed in suspension. This is mainly due to the high catalytic activity and power of reuse, which will reduce treatment costs.

Abstract
The development of an original catalytic composite of bacterial cellulose (BC) and pyrite (FeS2) for environmental application was the objective of this study. Nanoparticles of the FeS2 were synthesized from the hydrothermal method and immobilized on the BC structure using ex situ methodology. In the BC, the FTIR and XRD analyzes showed the absorption band associated with the Fe-S bond and crystalline peaks attributed to the pyrite. Thus, the immobilization of the iron particles on the biopolymer was proven, producing the composite BC/FeS2. The use of the SEM technique also ratifies the composite production by identifying the fibrillar structure morphology of the cellulose covered by FeS2 particles. The total iron concentration was 54.76 ± 1.69 mg L-1, determined by flame atomic absorption analysis. TG analysis and degradation tests showed respectively the thermal stability of the new material and its high catalytic potential. A multi-component solution of textile dyes was used as the matrix to be treated via advanced oxidative processes. The composite acted as the catalyst for the Fenton and photo-Fenton processes, with degradations of 52.87 and 96.82%, respectively. The material proved stability by showing low iron leaching (2.02 ± 0.09 and 2.11 ± 0.11 mg L-1 for the respective processes). Thus, its high potential for reuse is presumed, given the remaining concentration of this metal in the BC. The results showed that the BC/FeS2 composite is suitable to solve the problems associated with using catalysts in suspension form.
