Abstract
A stringent analysis of the biocompatibility of MXene is a necessary condition for assessing the biological risk of MXene. Owing to high surface free energy, MXene is capable of adsorbing a large amount of blood proteins to form MXene-protein corona complexes, however, a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between MXene and cellular physiological systems remains limited. Therefore, we investigated the cellular uptake and cytotoxicity effect of MXene Ti3C2Tx and PEGylation Ti3C2Tx mediated by human serum protein corona in THP-1 cells. It was found that PEGylation can alter the interaction between Ti3C2Tx and serum proteins, inducing a significant transformation in the fingerprint of the protein corona. Following protein corona formation, both Ti3C2Tx and PEGylated Ti3C2Tx predominantly accumulated at lysosomal sites within THP-1 cells. Further analysis revealed that clathrin-mediated endocytosis was the primary mechanism of Ti3C2Tx internalization by THP-1 cells. There was no significant effect on cell viability. However, we found that Ti3C2Tx plays a dual role as both a stimulus and scavenger of ROS within THP-1 cells, influenced by its PEGylation and the formation of a protein corona. This study provides important insights for biocompatibility evaluation and rational design of nanoproducts based on Ti3C2Tx in the future.

Yazdi F, Anbia M, Sepehrian M. Recent advances in removal of inorganic anions from water by chitosan-based composites: A comprehensive review. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 320:121230. [PMID: 37659817 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121230] [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: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/04/2023]
Abstract
Chitosan is a modified natural carbohydrate polymer that has been found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans (e.g., lobsters, shrimps, krill, barnacles, crayfish, etc.), mollusks (octopus, oysters, squids, snails), algae (diatoms, brown algae, green algae), insects (silkworms, beetles, scorpions), and the cell walls of fungi (such as Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, and Phycomycetes; for example, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium notatum). However, it is mostly acquired from marine crustaceans such as shrimp shells. Chitosan-based composites often present superior chemical, physical, and mechanical properties compared to single chitosan by incorporating the benefits of both counterparts in the nanocomposites. The tunable surface chemistry, abundant surface-active sites, facilitation synthesize and functionalization, good recyclability, and economic viability make the chitosan-based materials potential adsorbents for effective and fast removal of a broad range of inorganic anions. This article reviews the different types of inorganic anions and their effects on the environment and human health. The development of the chitosan-based composites synthesis, the various parameters like initial concentration, pH, adsorbent dosage, temperature, the mechanism of adsorption, and regeneration of adsorbents are discussed in detail. Finally, the prospects and technical challenges are emphasized to improve the performance of chitosan-based composites in actual applications on a pilot or industrial scale.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 241:124511. [PMID: 37086773 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124511] [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: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 03/30/2023] [Accepted: 04/15/2023] [Indexed: 04/24/2023]
Abstract
Developing an eco-friendly, sustainable and antibacterial adsorbent is significant for actual water treatment. Herein, a new bio-based antibacterial adsorbent based on titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles functionalized chitosan (CS) was prepared through an in-situ hydrolysis strategy using titanium oxysulfate as the source of TiO2. The as-obtained CS/TiO2 nanocomposite was characterized by a variety of analytical techniques. According to the Langmuir mode, the adsorption capacity of CS/TiO2 reached 23.64 mg P g-1, almost 8 times higher than that of CS. In addition, the normalized adsorption capacity (adsorption value per Ti) of CS/TiO2 was calculated to be 102.68 mg P g-1 Ti-1, much higher than pure TiO2 (60.11 mg P g-1 Ti-1). Moreover, CS/TiO2 exhibited a highly selective capacity for phosphate removal in the presence of competing anions, and showed high stability in a wide pH range of 3.0-9.0. When the phosphate concentration was 2.0 mg P L-1, the removal efficiency of phosphate reached 99.5 % and the residual concentration was only 10 μg P L-1, which meets the USEPA standards for eutrophication prevention and control. In addition, after treatment by CS/TiO2, the phosphate concentration of two sewage water samples decreased from 1.50 and 1.0 mg P L-1 to <0.010 mg P L-1, meeting the standard of level II water based on the Environmental Quality Standard of China (GB3838-2002). Ligand exchange and electrostatic interactions are mainly responsible for phosphate adsorption by CS/TiO2. Furthermore, the CS/TiO2 nanocomposites exhibited excellent antibacterial activity, which could avoid biofouling contamination caused by microorganisms. Benefiting from the above advantages, the as-designed CS/TiO2 nanocomposite has great potential as a bio-based antibacterial adsorbent for phosphate removal or capture from wastewater.

Multifunctional Cross-Linked Shrimp Waste-Derived Chitosan/MgAl-LDH Composite for Removal of As(V) from Wastewater and Antibacterial Activity. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:10051-10061. [PMID: 36969446 PMCID: PMC10034834 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c07391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
This work synthesized a novel chitosan-loaded MgAl-LDH (LDH = layered double hyroxide) nanocomposite, which was physicochemically characterized, and its performance in As(V) removal and antimicrobial activity was evaluated. Chitosan-loaded MgAl-LDH nanocomposite (CsC@MgAl-LDH) was prepared using cross-linked natural chitosan from shrimp waste and modified by Mg-Al. The main mechanisms predominating the separation of As(V) were elucidated. The characteristic changes confirming MgAl-LDH modification with chitosan were analyzed through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis-differential thermal analysis, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurements. Porosity and the increased surface area play an important role in arsenic adsorption and microbial activity. Adsorption kinetics follows the general order statistically confirmed by Bayesian Information Criterion differences. To understand the adsorption process, Langmuir, Freundlich, and Liu isotherms were studied at three different temperatures. It was found that Liu's isotherm model was the best-fitted model. CsC@MgAl-LDH showed the maximum adsorption capacity of 69.29 mg g-1 toward arsenic at 60 °C. It was observed that the adsorption capacity of the material rose with the increase in temperature. The spontaneous behavior and endothermic nature of adsorption was confirmed by the thermodynamic parameters study. Minimal change in percentage removal was observed with coexisting ions. The regeneration of material and adsorption-desorption cycles revealed that the adsorbent is economically efficient. The nanocomposite was very effective against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilus.

Abstract
This work focuses on the combination of multifunctional photocatalytic and adsorbent materials in a unique polymeric membrane. For this purpose, Au/TiO2 and Y2(CO3)3 nanoparticles were immobilised onto a poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene), (PVDF-HFP) membrane, and the physical-chemical characterisation of these materials was performed, as well as pollutant removal efficiency. An efficient TiO2 functionalisation with gold nanoparticles was achieved, endowing these particles with the capability to absorb visible radiation absorption. A favourable porous structure was obtained for the membranes, with an average pore size of 4 μm, and the nanoparticles immobilisation did not alter the chemical properties of the polymeric membrane. The produced hybrid materials, including both the Au/TiO2 and Y2(CO3)3 nanoparticles, presented an efficiency of 57% in the degradation of norfloxacin (5 mg/L) under ultraviolet radiation for 120 min, 80% under visible radiation for 300 min, and 58% in arsenic adsorption for 240 min. These membranes represent a new multifunctional platform for removing several pollutants, which may allow their incorporation in more efficient and less energy-consuming water treatment processes favouring its application, even in low energy resources countries.
