Abstract
Pathogen-host competition for manganese and intricate immunostimulatory pathways severely attenuates the efficacy of antibacterial immunotherapy against biofilm infections associated with orthopaedic implants. Herein, we introduce a spatiotemporal sono-metalloimmunotherapy (SMIT) strategy aimed at efficient biofilm ablation by custom design of ingenious biomimetic metal-organic framework (PCN-224)-coated MnO2-hydrangea nanoparticles (MnPM) as a metalloantibiotic. Upon reaching the acidic H2O2-enriched biofilm microenvironment, MnPM can convert abundant H2O2 into oxygen, which is conducive to significantly enhancing the efficacy of ultrasound (US)-triggered sonodynamic therapy (SDT), thereby exposing bacteria-associated antigens (BAAs). Moreover, MnPM disrupts bacterial homeostasis, further killing more bacteria. Then, the Mn ions released from the degraded MnO2 can recharge immune cells to enhance the cGAS-STING signaling pathway sensing of BAAs, further boosting the immune response and suppressing biofilm growth via biofilm-specific T cell responses. Following US withdrawal, the sustained oxygenation promotes the survival and migration of fibroblasts, stimulates the expression of angiogenic growth factors and angiogenesis, and neutralizes excessive inflammation. Our findings highlight that MnPM may act as an immune costimulatory metalloantibiotic to regulate the cGAS-STING signaling pathway, presenting a promising alternative to antibiotics for orthopaedic biofilm infection treatment and pro-tissue repair.

Zheng X, Li S, Liu B, Zhang L, Ma A. A Study on the Mechanism and Kinetics of Ultrasound-Enhanced Sulfuric Acid Leaching for Zinc Extraction from Zinc Oxide Dust. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:5969. [PMID: 36079349 PMCID: PMC9456758 DOI: 10.3390/ma15175969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
As an important secondary zinc resource, large-scale reserves of zinc oxide dust (ZOD) from a wide range of sources is of high comprehensive recycling value. Therefore, an experimental study on ultrasound-enhanced sulfuric acid leaching for zinc extraction from zinc oxide dust was carried out to investigate the effects of various factors such as ultrasonic power, reaction time, sulfuric acid concentration, and liquid-solid ratio on zinc leaching rate. The results show that the zinc leaching rate under ultrasound reached 91.16% at a temperature of 25 °C, ultrasonic power 500 W, sulfuric acid concentration 140 g/L, liquid-solid ratio 5:1, rotating speed 100 r/min, and leaching time 30 min. Compared with the conventional leaching method (leaching rate: 85.36%), the method under ultrasound increased the zinc leaching rate by 5.8%. In a kinetic analysis of the ultrasound-enhanced sulfuric acid leaching of zinc oxide dust, the initial apparent activation energy of the reaction was 6.90 kJ/mol, indicating that the ultrasound-enhanced leaching process was controlled by the mixed solid product layers. Furthermore, the leached residue was characterized by XRD and SEM-EDS, and the results show that, with ultrasonic waves, the encapsulated mineral particles were dissociated, and the dissolution of ZnO was enhanced. Mostly, the zinc in leached residue existed in the forms of ZnFe2O4, Zn2SiO4, and ZnS.

Novel Process of Reduction Roasting Manganese Ore with Sulfur Waste and Extraction of Mn by Acid Leaching. METALS 2022.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide is typically reduced to a bivalent state before being extracted; here, sulfur is considered an efficient reductant and sulfur–based reduction has been industrialized in China. In this study, the reaction mechanism between MnO2 and gaseous sulfur was investigated. Thermodynamically, the reduction of MnO2 by gaseous sulfur is feasible. The predominant phase diagram as functions of temperature and input S2(g) fraction in the S2–MnO2 system was calculated. Experimental validation showed that MnO2 was reduced stepwise to low-valence manganese oxides and manganese sulfate. The phase composition of the roasted products was complex, and MnS was inevitably formed. The valence state as well as microstructure of manganese dioxide during reduction roasting were also investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM–EDS). The reaction process could be described by an unreacted nuclear model. Manganese was extracted by sulfuric acid solution after reduction by sulfur waste. In sulfuric acid, 95.2 wt% Mn extraction was achieved, using a roasting temperature of 450 °C, roasting time of 30 min, and S2/MnO2 molar ratio of 0.40. With the same conditions, low Fe extraction was achieved. On the other hand, in deionized water, 24.3 wt% Mn extraction was achieved, confirming the formation of MnSO4.

Effect of Lead and Zinc Impurities in Ironmaking and the Corresponding Removal Methods: A Review. METALS 2021.

Abstract
This paper reviews the effects of Pb and Zn impurities and their removal in the ironmaking process. The phase changes during ironmaking were investigated, along with the removal techniques of such impurities and their environmental impact. Results show that distribution of Pb–Zn–Fe in Fe ore is complicated, the particles are fine, and the removal of mineral phase at high temperature is difficult. Therefore, the production and occurrence of Pb and Zn impurities in the ironmaking process were analyzed; such impurities reduced the overall productivity of the process. In addition, the important treatments for the removal of these impurities were investigated. Most of these processes eliminated the Pb and Zn impurities from the dust or sludge, but the main impact of the reduced productivity of the ironmaking process in the furnaces was still observed.

Abstract
In this study, sulfuric acid leaching and gravity shaking-table separation by shaking a table are used to extract lead and zinc from a Pb-Zn oxidizing roasting cinder. The oxidizing roasting cinder—containing 16.9% Pb, 30.5% Zn, 10.3% Fe and 25.1% S—was obtained from a Pb-Zn sulfide ore in the Hanyuan area of China by a flotation-rotary kiln oxidizing roasting process. Anglesite and lead oxide were the main Pb-bearing minerals, while zinc sulfate, zinc oxide and zinc ferrite were the main Zn-bearing minerals. The results show that a part of lead contained in lead oxide is transformed to anglesite, and a 3PbO·PbSO4·H2O-dominated new lead mineral phase after acid leaching. A zinc leaching efficiency of 96.7% was obtained under the leaching conditions used: a leaching temperature of 55 °C; a leaching time of 90 min; a sulfuric acid dosage of 20%; a sulfurous acid dosage of 4%; a cinder particle size of <0.3 mm; and a solid-liquid ratio of R = 1:4. After the gravity shaking-table separation, a lead concentrate with 50.2% Pb, 2.33% Zn and lead recovery of 86.0% was produced. The main chemical compounds in leaching residue are anglesite, 3PbO·PbSO4·H2O, SiO2 and ZnFe2O4, while the main chemical compounds in lead concentrate are anglesite, 3PbO·PbSO4·H2O and SiO2.
