Abstract
An oil spill occurs when liquid petroleum hydrocarbons are released into the environment, whether accidentally or intentionally, in substantial quantities. The impact of an oil spill on the ecosystem is significant and should not be underestimated. Various techniques are employed to address oil spills, including mechanical, physical, biological, and physicochemical methods. Among these techniques, adsorption is considered the most suitable approach. Adsorption is promising due to its simplicity, ease of use, high removal capacity, and rapid pollutant removal. An excellent adsorbent material exhibits unique characteristics that enhance its efficacy in liquid adsorption. Sorbents are categorized into synthetic and natural types. Porous carbon materials, especially expanded graphite, are widely utilized in wastewater treatment due to their micropores and exceptional adsorption capacity. The distinctive properties of expanded graphite, including its low density, high porosity, and electrical conductivity, have garnered significant global attention for various potential applications. In essence, expanded graphite offers a powerful and practical approach to oil spill cleanup due to its efficient oil adsorption, selective targeting, ease of use, and potential reusability. This review article summarizes the preparation techniques, structure, and properties of expanded graphite. It also delves into recent advancements in using expanded graphite for oil spill cleanup. The article concludes by outlining potential future directions in this field and discussing the commercial viability of some of these techniques.

Li B, Jiang Y, Wang T, Liu W, Chen X, He J, Du Z, Yang R, Miao D, Li Y. MicroRNA-217-5p triggers dopaminergic neuronal degeneration via autophagy activation under Atrazine exposure. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 340:122811. [PMID: 37890694 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2023] [Revised: 09/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
Atrazine (ATR) is a widely used agricultural herbicide, and its accumulation in soil and water can cause various environmental health problems. ATR has neurotoxic effects on dopaminergic neurons, which can lead to a Parkinson's disease (PD)-like syndrome. Epigenetics regulates gene expression dynamically through DNA methylation, histone post-translational modification, microRNA (miRNA) interaction, and RNA methylation. MicroRNA (miRNA), representing one of the primary epigenetic mechanisms responsible for regulating gene expression, plays a crucial role in maintaining normal cellular function, while dysregulation of miRNA expression has been observed in PD. This study aims to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of miRNA in ATR exposure. The results show that ATR-exposure significantly upregulates the expression level of miR-217-5p. Both miR-217-5p overexpression and ATR exposure is able to trigger the autophagy process and apoptosis. Conversely, inhibiting the expression of miR-217-5p can reverse the levels of ATR-induced autophagy and apoptosis. Moreover, ATR causes damage to dopaminergic neurons, as indicated by the altered expression of tyrosine hydroxylase and α-synuclein. Taken together, these results suggest that ATR-induced autophagy can accelerate the progression of neurodegenerative diseases and that miR-217-5p is probably an important target involved in ATR-induced dopaminergic damage, shedding important light on the development of a novel strategy for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

Bekele H, Yohannes W, Megersa N. A Highly Selective Analytical Method Based on Salt-Assisted Liquid-Liquid Extraction for Trace-Level Enrichment of Multiclass Pesticide Residues in Cow Milk for Quantitative Liquid Chromatographic Analysis. Int J Anal Chem 2023; 2023:1754956. [PMID: 37810912 PMCID: PMC10558272 DOI: 10.1155/2023/1754956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, a simple, inexpensive, selective, and fast salting-out assisted liquid-liquid extraction (SALLE) technique coupled with high-pressure liquid chromatography-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) was developed for the extraction, preconcentration, and analysis of trace level seven multiclass pesticide residues in pasteurized and raw cow milk samples. The significant factors that affect the extent to which the target analytes are extracted, such as the type of extraction solvent and its volume, the type and concentration of salting-out salts, the pH of the solution, and the extraction time, have been investigated. Under optimum conditions, the correlation coefficient (r2) was obtained within a range of 0.9982-0.9997 for a broad linear range concentration of 2-1500 ng·mL-1. Reliable sensitivity was achieved with limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) ranging from 0.58-2.56 ng·mL-1 and 1.95-8.51 ng·mL-1, respectively. While precision with interday and intraday in terms of relative standard deviations (RSDs) was observed in the range of 1.97 - 7.88% and 4.52 - 8.04%, respectively. The results of the precision studies reveal that good repeatability and reproducibility (RSDs <9) were achieved, thus showing a low variability extraction of the developed method. Finally, the proposed and validated approach was effectively used to extract and determine pesticide residues in real milk matrices; however, the target analytes were not detected in all samples.

Occurrence and Removal of Triazine Herbicides during Wastewater Treatment Processes and Their Environmental Impact on Aquatic Life. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19084557. [PMID: 35457424 PMCID: PMC9024823 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19084557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Revised: 04/04/2022] [Accepted: 04/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022]
Abstract
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) represent a major point source for pesticide residue entry to aquatic environment and may threaten ecosystems and biodiversity in urban area. Triazine herbicides should be paid attention to for their ubiquitous occurrence in the environment and long-term residue. The present study aimed to quantify eleven compounds of triazine herbicides during wastewater treatment processes. The solid phase extraction and gas-chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) determination method were developed to identify the target herbicides with approving sensitivity. The pollution levels, removal rates of eleven triazine herbicides along five different treatment stages in WWTP were investigated. The results showed that three herbicides including atrazine, simetryn and prometryn were detected. Their concentrations in influent were among 28.79 to 104.60 ng/L. Their total removal rates from influent to effluent were 14.92%, 10.79% and 4.41%, respectively indicating that they were difficult to be effectively remove during wastewater treatment. Regarding the negative impact of triazine herbicides discharged from WWTPs on downstream water quality and aquatic life, the environmental risks were assessed by calculating the Environmental Relevance of Pesticides from Wastewater Treatment Plants Index (ERPWI) and water cycle spreading index (WCSI). The risk assessment results denoted the possible high risks for atrazine and simetryn to alage, and simetryn concurrently posed a high risk for the daphnia, while prometryn was at medium risk to alage. Atrazine and simetryn in effluent posed high risk for algae, meanwhile, simetryn had high risk for Daphnia. These results suggested a possible threat to the aquatic environment, rendering in this way the ERPWI method as a useful assessment tool. Further extensive study is needed for atrazine and simetryn in order to better understand their migration mechanism in aquatic environment.

Abstract
New types of rechargeable batteries other than lithium-ions, including sodium/potassium/zinc/magnesium/calcium/aluminum-ion batteries and non-aqueous batteries, are rapidly advancing towards large-scale energy storage applications. A major challenge for these burgeoning batteries is the absence of appropriate electrode materials, which gravely hinders their further development. Expanded graphite (EG)-based electrode materials have been proposed for these emerging batteries due to their low cost, non-toxic, rich-layered structure and adjustable layer spacing. Here, we evaluate and summarize the application of EG-based materials in rechargeable batteries other than Li+ batteries, including alkaline ion (such as Na+, K+) storage and multivalent ion (such as Mg2+, Zn2+, Ca2+ and Al3+) storage batteries. Particularly, this article discusses the composite strategy and performance of EG-based materials, which enables them to function as an electrode in these emerging batteries. Future research areas in EG-based materials, from the fundamental understanding of material design and processing to reaction mechanisms and device performance optimization strategies, are being looked forward to.

Abstract
A non-metallic and low-cost novel phosphorus and boron co-doping graphite carbon nitride (PB-g-C3N4) photocatalyst was prepared by a facile thermal copolymerization of urea with B2O3 and (NH4)2·HPO4. The novel PB-g-C3N4 exhibited excellent optical and electrical properties and the photocatalytic elimination efficiency for atrazine (AT, can make feminization of male frogs in the wild, and even induce reproductive cancers in humans.) has been greatly improved compared with the pristine g-C3N4. The results of characterization techniques indicate that the introduced B and P atoms most probably to substitute for sp2-hybridized C atoms in triazine rings. O2- and h+ are the dominant active species to induce the elimination of AT demonstrated by the radical-trapping experiments. And a possible elimination pathway is proposed according to the detected main intermediates. In addition, PB-g-C3N4 was applied to the simultaneous photocatalytic elimination of 9 triazine herbicides, and the effects of different initial concentrations, pH, fulvic acid (FA) and ion species on their elimination effects were studied. And it was proved that the photocatalytic performance of PB-g-C3N4 did not significant decrease after 4 times of reuse.

Abstract
The sensitive and selective determination of acetaminophen (AP) in the human body is highly desirable to ensure human health. In this work, nickel-doping nanoporous carbon (Ni/C) was fabricated by directly calcining Ni based metal-organic framework (Ni-MOF). The Ni/C based electrochemical sensor was developed for sensitive and selective determination of AP in human blood serum and urine samples. The prepared Ni/C composite possess plentiful catalytic active sites, ordered mesoporous structure and large specific surface area, which endow the constructed Ni/C sensor with a prominent performance for acetaminophen sensing. Under the optimal conditions, the developed method offered good linearity in the range of 0.20-53.75 μM with a low detection limit (S/N = 3) of 4.04 × 10-2 μM. The electrocatalytic performance of the sensor towards AP was further measured by differential pulse voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry. The results demonstrated that the Ni/C sensor can be feasibly employed for the determination of AP in human blood serum and urine samples with excellent anti-interference stability and good reproducibility. The research reveals a great promising of the Ni/C electrochemical sensor for clinical applications and paves a way for the construction of high-performance electrochemical sensors for AP determination.

Abstract
The compound “marennine” is a blue–green pigment produced by the benthic microalgae Haslea ostrearia, with pathogenicity reduction activities against some bacteria and promising potential as a natural pigment in seafood industries. After decades of research, the chemical family of this compound still remains unclear, mainly because structural studies were impaired by the presence of co-extracted compounds in marennine isolates. To improve the purity of marennine extract, we developed a novel extraction method using a graphitic stationary phase, which provides various advantages over the previous procedure using tandem ultrafiltration. Our method is faster, more versatile, provides a better crude yield (66%, compared to 57% for ultrafiltration) and is amenable to upscaling with continuous photobioreactor cultivation. Our goal was to take advantage of the modulable surface properties of the graphitic matrix by optimizing its interactions with marennine. As such, the effects of organic modifiers, pH and reducing agents were studied. With this improvement on marennine purification, we achieved altogether the isolation of a fucoidan-related, sulfated polysaccharide from blue water. Characterization of the polysaccharides fraction suggests that roughly half of UV-absorbing compounds could be isolated from the marennine crude extracts. The identification of sulfated polysaccharides could be a major breakthrough for marennine purification, providing targeted isolation techniques. Likewise, the added value of Haslea ostrearia and the role of polysaccharides in previous marennine chemical characterization and bioactivity studies remain to be determined.

Abstract
A magnetic nanoporous organic polymer (M-NOP) was prepared as a new adsorbent with excellent extraction capacity and rapid adsorption kinetics for 5-nitroimidazoles (5-NDZs). Hence, a rapid and effective method was proposed for determination of 5-NDZs in milk by combining M-NOP-based magnetic solid-phase extraction with high-performance liquid chromatography. Main extraction conditions were investigated. Under optimal conditions, good linear response was achieved in a range of 2.4-100 ng mL-1 with a lower detection limit of 0.8-1.0 ng mL-1. High accuracy with a recovery of 80.0-116.0% for the fortified samples, good repeatability with relative standard deviation below 10%, and a high enrichment factor of 97-111 were obtained. The rapid adsorption of 5-NDZs on M-NOP is mainly driven by H-bonding, π-stacking, and polar interactions. Finally, the M-NOP-based method was successfully used to determine 5-NDZs in milk samples. The M-NOP is expected to present promising application in the extraction and quantitative analysis of other compounds.

Dual-template imprinted polymers for class-selective solid-phase extraction of seventeen triazine herbicides and metabolites in agro-products. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2019; 367:686-693. [PMID: 30654286 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2018.12.089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2018] [Revised: 12/20/2018] [Accepted: 12/22/2018] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
A novel dual-template molecularly imprinted polymer (DMIP) was prepared with atrazine and prometryn as the template and applied as a class-specific adsorbent for simultaneously selective solid-phase extraction of seventeen triazine herbicides and metabolites from complex matrices. For comparison, a non-imprinted polymer (NIP) and two single-template imprinted polymers (SMIPs) were also synthesized using the same procedure of DMIP, but in the absence of the template (NIP) or with one template (SMIP). Various parameters affecting the extraction performance of DMIP-SPE were investigated in detail. Under the optimum conditions, the enrichment efficiency, class-selectivity and reusability of DMIP-SPE were evaluated. Only DMIP-SPE possessed high affinity and good selective recognition ability for all the seventeen targets including chloro-, thiomethyl- and methoxy- triazines. Further, a DMIP-SPE-LC-MS/MS method was developed for simultaneously determining trace triazine herbicides and metabolites in maize, wheat and cottonseed samples. The method showed good linearity (r>0.9941) in the range of 10-200 μg kg-1, high sensitivity with low limits of detection of 0.5-8.8 μg kg-1, and satisfactory recoveries of 61.3-105.9% with relative standard deviations of 2.1-10.7%. These results highlighted the good application prospect of the multi/dual-template imprinting strategy in the high-throughput analysis of various concerned contaminants in agro-products.

Abstract
A new cloud point methodology was successfully used for the extraction of carcinogenic pesticides in milk samples as a prior step to their determination by spectrophotometry. In this work, non-ionic silicone surfactant, also known as 3-(3-hydroxypropyl-heptatrimethylxyloxane), was chosen as a green extraction solvent because of its structure and properties. The effect of different parameters, such as the type of surfactant, concentration and volume of surfactant, pH, salt, temperature, incubation time and water content on the cloud point extraction of carcinogenic pesticides such as atrazine and propazine, was studied in detail and a set of optimum conditions was established. A good correlation coefficient (R2 ) in the range of 0.991-0.997 for all calibration curves was obtained. The limit of detection was 1.06 µg l-1 (atrazine) and 1.22 µg l-1 (propazine), and the limit of quantitation was 3.54 µg l-1 (atrazine) and 4.07 µg l-1 (propazine). Satisfactory recoveries in the range of 81-108% were determined in milk samples at 5 and 1000 µg l-1, respectively, with low relative standard deviation, n = 3 of 0.301-7.45% in milk matrices. The proposed method is very convenient, rapid, cost-effective and environmentally friendly for food analysis.

Abstract
In this study, a novel adsorbent of expanded graphite loaded with lanthanum (III)-iron (III) hydroxide (EG-LaFe) was prepared for phosphate removal. The single factor of oscillating time, La/Fe molar ratio and total concentration of EG-LaFe were studied for optimization of preparation conditions. Effects of contact time, initial phosphate concentration, adsorption temperature and coexisting ions on the phosphate removal performance of EG-LaFe were investigated in detail. Adsorption kinetics and isothermal adsorption studies showed that the pseudo-second-order and the Langmuir model fitted the experimental data quite well. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the phosphate adsorption of EG-LaFe was spontaneous and endothermic. In addition, EG-LaFe exhibit high sorption selectivity toward phosphate over other coexisting ions. The phosphate adsorption mechanism was investigated by means of pH study, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that the probable mechanisms of phosphate adsorption on EG-LaFe were the replacement of surface hydroxyl groups (M-OH), electrostatic interaction and Lewis acid-base interaction.

Abstract
Seasonal variation of eight chloro-s-triazine herbicides and seven major atrazine and terbuthylazine degradation products was monitored in the Hartbeespoort Dam catchment using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Lake, river and groundwater were sampled from the Hartbeespoort Dam catchment over four seasons and the downstream Jukskei River was monitored during the winter season. Triazine herbicide concentrations in the Hartbeespoort Dam were in the order atrazine>simazine>propazine>ametryn>prometryn throughout the four seasons sampled. Triazine herbicide concentrations in the Hartbeespoort Dam surface water were highest in summer and gradually decreased in successive seasons of autumn, winter and spring. Terbuthylazine was the only triazine herbicide detected at all sampling sites in the Jukskei River, though atrazine recorded much higher concentrations for the N14 and Kyalami sites, with concentrations of 923 and 210ngL-1 respectively, compared to 134 and 74ngL-1 for terbuthylazine. Analytical results in conjunction with river flow data indicate that the Jukskei and Crocodile Rivers contribute the greatest triazine herbicide loads into the Hartbeespoort Dam. No triazine herbicides were detected in the fish muscle tested, showing that bioaccumulation of triazine herbicides is negligible. Atrazine and terbuthylazine metabolites were detected in the fish muscle with deethylatrazine (DEA) being detected in both catfish and carp muscle at low concentrations of 0.2 and 0.3ngg-1, respectively. Desethylterbuthylazine (DET) was detected only in catfish at a concentration of 0.3ngg-1. With atrazine herbicide groundwater concentrations being >130ngL-1 for all seasons and groundwater ∑triazine herbicide concentrations ranging between 527 and 367ngL-1, triazine compounds in the Hartbeespoort Dam catchment may pose a risk to humans and wildlife in light findings of endocrine and immune disrupting atrazine effects by various researchers.

Abstract
The herbicide atrazine is widely used across the globe, which is a great concern. To investigate its potential toxicity in the human body, human serum albumin (HSA) was selected as a model protein. The interaction between atrazine and HSA was investigated using steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The intrinsic fluorescence of HSA was quenched by the atrazine through a static quenching mechanism. Fluorescence spectra at two excitation wavelengths (280 and 295 nm) showed that the fluorescence quenched in HSA was mainly contributed to by tryptophan residues. In addition, the atrazine bound to HSA, which induced changes in the conformation and secondary structure of HSA and caused an energy transfer. Thermodynamic parameters revealed that this binding is spontaneous. Moreover, electrostatic interactions play a major role in the combination of atrazine and HSA. One atrazine molecule can only bind to one HSA molecule to form a complex, and the atrazine molecule is bound at site II (subdomain IIIA) of HSA. This study furthers the understanding of the potential effects posed by atrazine on humans at the molecular level.

Abstract
Polyaniline (PANI)/graphene oxide (GO) composites were synthesized via in situ polymerization of aniline in the presence of GO. The effect of microwave treatment of graphite on the electrical conductivity and electrochemical properties of PANI/GO composites was highlighted, and the morphology and microstructure were subsequently characterized using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results demonstrated that microwave treatment of graphite imparted a well-dispersed, highly ordered layered structure to the as-prepared GO, and in turn facilitated strong bonding between the GO and PANI nanosheets, which may be responsible for the improved electrical conductivity and electrochemical properties of the resulting PANI/GO composites. The desired PANI/GO composites possessed an electrical conductivity of 508 S/m, an areal capacitance of 172.8 mF/cm2, and a retained capacitance of 87.4% after cycling, representing percentage increases of 102, 232, and 112, respectively, as a result of the microwave treatment of graphite. The resulting composites are promising electrode materials for high-performance and ecofriendly electrical energy storage devices.
