Abstract
In urbanized areas, extracellular DNA (exDNA) is suspected of carrying genes with undesirable traits like virulence genes (VGs) or antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which can spread through horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Hence, it is crucial to develop novel approaches for the mitigation of exDNA in the environment. Our research explores the role of goethite, a common iron mineral with high adsorption capabilities, in exDNA adsorption processes. We compare well-crystalline, semi-crystalline, and nano goethites with varying particle sizes to achieve various specific surface areas (SSAs) (18.7-161.6 m2/g) and porosities. We conducted batch adsorption experiments using DNA molecules of varying chain lengths (DNA sizes: <11 Kb, <6 Kb, and <3 Kb) and assessed the impact of Ca2+ and biomacromolecules on the adsorption efficacy and mechanisms. Results show that porosity and pore structure significantly influence DNA adsorption capacity. Goethite with well-developed meso- and macroporosity demonstrated enhanced DNA adsorption. The accumulation of DNA on the goethite interface led to substantial aggregation in the system, thus the formation of DNA-goethite conjugates, indicating the bridging between mineral particles. DNA chain length, the presence of Ca2+, and the biomacromolecule matrix also affected the adsorption capacity and mechanism. Interactions between DNA and positively charged biomacromolecules or Ca2+ led to DNA compaction, allowing greater DNA accumulation in pores. However, a high concentration of biomacromolecules led to the saturation of the goethite surface, inhibiting DNA adsorption. AFM imaging of goethite particles after adsorption suggested the formation of the DNA multilayer. The study advances understanding of the environmental behavior of exDNA and its interaction with iron oxyhydroxides, offering insights into developing more effective methods for ARGs removal in wastewater treatment plants. By manipulating the textural properties of goethite, it's possible to enhance exDNA removal, potentially reducing the spread of biocontamination in urban and industrial environments.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 470:134150.

Abstract
The misuse and overuse of chloramphenicol poses severe threats to food safety and human health. In this work, we developed a magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) pretreatment material coated with a multilayered metal-organic framework (MOF), Fe3O4 @ (ZIF-8)3, for the separation and enrichment of chloramphenicol from fish. Furthermore, we designed an artificial-intelligence-enhanced single microsphere immunosensor. The inherent ultra-high porosity of the MOF and the multilayer assembly strategy allowed for efficient chloramphenicol enrichment (4.51 mg/g within 20 min). Notably, Fe3O4 @ (ZIF-8)3 exhibits a 39.20% increase in adsorption capacity compared to Fe3O4 @ZIF-8. Leveraging the remarkable decoding abilities of artificial intelligence, we achieved the highly sensitive detection of chloramphenicol using a straightforward procedure without the need for specialized equipment, obtaining a notably low detection limit of 46.42 pM. Furthermore, the assay was successfully employed to detect chloramphenicol in fish samples with high accuracy. The developed immunosensor offers a robust point-of-care testing tool for safeguarding food safety and public health.

Abstract
The presence of oxyanions, such as nitrate (NO3-) and phosphate (PO43-), regulates the nucleation and growth of goethite (Gt) and hematite (Hm) during the transformation of ferrihydrite (Fh). Our previous studies showed that oxyanion surface complexes control the rate and pathway of Fh transformation to Gt and Hm. However, how oxyanion surface complexes control the mechanism of Gt and Hm nucleation and growth during the Fh transformation is still unclear. We used synchrotron scattering methods and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy to investigate the effects of NO3- outer-sphere complexes and PO43- inner-sphere complexes on the mechanism of Gt and Hm formation from Fh. Our TEM results indicated that Gt particles form through a two-step model in which Fh particles first transform to Gt nanoparticles and then crystallographically align and grow to larger particles by oriented attachment (OA). In contrast, for the formation of Hm, imaging shows that Fh particles first aggregate and then transform to Hm through interface nucleation. This is consistent with our X-ray scattering results, which demonstrate that NO3- outer-sphere and PO43- inner-sphere complexes promote the formation of Gt and Hm, respectively. These results have implications for understanding the coupled interactions of oxyanions and iron oxy-hydroxides in Earth-surface environments.

Abstract
Understanding the face-dependent phosphate adsorption mechanisms and their variations with environmental conditions is of great significance for revealing phosphate adsorption mechanisms on various goethites and predicting phosphorus speciation in iron-rich soils. In this study, micro- (MicroGoe) and nano-sized goethite (NanoGoe) were synthesized and used to investigate the face-dependent adsorption behaviors of proton and phosphate on goethite by combining the charge distribution-multisite surface complexation (CD-MUSIC) model and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR). The results demonstrated that MicroGoe had a higher charge density and phosphate adsorption capacity than NanoGoe, which could be attributed to the higher site density of ≡FeOH-0.5 and inner-layer capacitance arising from a higher proportion of capping face and rougher surface of MicroGoe. The logKH of ≡FeOH-0.5 on the main and capping face was 8.2 and 8.9, respectively. Three types of monodentate mononuclear phosphate complexes in different protonated states were identified, along with the non-protonated bidentate complex. Protonated monodentate complexes were formed at relatively low pH and high surface loadings, whereas non-protonated complexes were the predominant species at intermediate to high pH. MicroGoe had a higher percentage of monodentate complexes than NanoGoe, and both goethites had considerably lower phosphate adsorption on the capping face than on the main face. The results provide valuable insights into the interfacial reactivity of goethite prepared with various methods and facilitate further prediction of phosphorus speciation and availability in iron-rich soils.

Abstract
The diffusive processes that occur in minerals involve chemical and physical surface phenomena of great interest that allow for understanding the mobility of different anions of environmental importance. One of them is glyphosate, which is widely used as a pesticide. In this work, we performed Hubbard-corrected density functional theory (DFT + U) calculations to study the adsorption and surface diffusion of methylphosphonic acid (MPA), as a model of glyphosate, on the (010) plane of goethite (GOT), one of the most important Fe(III) minerals in soils and sediments. In particular, the MPA adsorption was studied at the GOT-water interface, finding a strong covalent character in the bond. We also corroborated the occurrence of double proton transfer (MPA to GOT and GOT to GOT). Finally, activation energy barriers were calculated to estimate the half-lives for molecular diffusion, showing that MPA moves almost 3000 times slower than water at the GOT surface.

Abstract
The pollution and scarcity of freshwater resources are global problems that have a significant influence on human life. It is very important to remove harmful substances in the water to realize the recycling of water resources. Hydrogels have recently attracted attention due to their special three-dimensional network structure, large surface area, and pores, which show great potential for the removal of pollutants in water. In their preparation, natural polymers are one of the preferred materials because of their wide availability, low cost, and easy thermal degradation. However, when it is directly used for adsorption, its performance is unsatisfactory, so it usually needs to be modified in the preparation process. This paper reviews the modification and adsorption properties of polysaccharide-based natural polymer hydrogels, such as cellulose, chitosan, starch, and sodium alginate, and discusses the effects of their types and structures on performance and recent technological advances.
