SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 320:124677.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions especially mercury exposure have severe toxic effects on living organisms and human health. Therefore, easy, accessible, and accurate determination strategies for the selective specification of mercury ions are essential for numerous disciplines. In the presented paper, new hybrid fluorescent iron oxide nanoparticles labeled with carbazole and triazole units (CT-IONP) were prepared via surface modification for the spectrofluorimetric determination of Hg2+ in environmental samples. The structure of the new sensing system is characterized via various spectroscopic, thermal, and microscopic techniques. Under optimized conditions, the hybrid system is not only used in fully water media but also highly fluorescent which led to the "turn-off" response towards Hg2+ ion in the presence of various competitive species. The presented sensing system was successfully used for the determination of Hg2+ ions in the wide linear working range (0.02-10.00 µmol.L-1) at nanomolar levels, where the limit of detection and quantification were calculated as 7.38 and 22.14 nmol.L-1. Importantly, the practical application of hybrid material was applied by CT-IONP embedded polycaprolactone (PCL) polymer film kits. The bluish color of fabricated film kits was instantly and dramatically turned colorless-dark patterns after the addition of Hg2+ ions, which resulted in convenient and rapid film test kits for selective detection.

Assessing haematological parameters and probable toxicity analysis in two coastal fish species at harbouring areas of Digha coastal belt, West Bengal, India. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 249:118318. [PMID: 38307179 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118318] [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: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024]
Abstract
Coastal ecosystems are vital for maintaining the biodiversity and human livelihoods, but they are increasingly subjected to anthropogenic pressures, including pollution from various sources. Present work intends to assess the possible threats in coastal ecosystem as well as coastal fish species, in particular, through haematological parameters caused due to exposure of environmental contaminants like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), potentially toxic metals (PTMs), etc. This study analysed the haematological parameters and probable toxicity levels in two important coastal fish species, viz., Mystus sp. and Mugil sp. widely available in Digha coastal belt. Different haematological parameters, such as WBCs (White Blood Cells), Lym (Lymphocytes), Gran (Granulocytes), Mid (Monocytes), RBCs (Red Blood Cells), HCT (Haematocrit) value, MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume), MCH (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin), MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration), RDW- CV (Red Cells Distribution Width-Co-efficient of Variation), RDW- SD (Red Cells Distribution Width-Standard Deviation), PLT (Total Platelet Count), MPV (Mean Platelet Volume), PDW- SD (Platelet Distribution Width-Standard Deviation), PDW- CV (Platelet Distribution Width-Co-efficient of Variation), PCT (Plateletcrit), PLCR (Platelet Large Cell Ratio), PLCC (Platelet Large Cell Count) and many others were measured directly through Erba H360 Haematology Analyser, simultaneously air dried blood smear was stained by Haematoxylin-Eosin(H-E) and Giemsa stain for assessing morphometric alterations of RBCs, WBCs, platelets as well as to determine the differential counts of WBCs by observing through Leica DM2000 microscope. Evidence of several abnormalities in the erythrocyte's nucleus (ENAs) and the abundance of abnormal celled erythrocytes (ECAs), carcinoma (lymphoproliferative disorder, polycythaemia vera, Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma), elevation of WBCs content, Lym %(Lymphocyte percentage), Eo(Eosinophils), monocytes, HCT and gross depletion of Ne(Neutrophils), basophils, and PLCR levels indicated a sign of major impact of contamination to two intoxicated fishes which may also affect the human being through food chain and may result into leukaemia in mammalian species, finally. However, comprehensive evaluation of the long-term impacts of the contaminants like PAHs and/or PTMs, etc., on fish populations, human health risk and coastal ecosystem is required to be addressed.

Abstract
Medical waste (MW) is exploding due to the COVID-19 pandemic, posing a significant environmental threat, and leading to the urgent requirement for affordable and environmentally friendly MW disposal technologies. Prior research on individual MW disposal plants is region-specific, applying these results to other regions may introduce bias. In this study, major MW disposal technologies in China, i.e., incineration technologies (pyrolysis incineration and rotary kiln incineration), and sterilization technologies (steam sterilization, microwave sterilization, and chemical disinfection) with residue landfill or incineration were analyzed from an industry-level perspective via life cycle assessment (LCA), life cycle costing (LCC) and net present value (NPV) methods. Life cycle inventories and economic cost data for 4-5 typical companies were selected from 128 distinct enterprises and academic sources for each technology. LCA results show that microwave sterilization with residue incineration has the lowest environmental impact, emitting only 480 kg CO2 eq. LCC and NPV analyses indicate that steam sterilization with landfilling is the most economical, yielding revenues of 1,210 CNY/t and breaking even in the first year. Conversely, pyrolysis and rotary kiln incineration break even between the 4th and 5th years. Greenhouse gas emissions from the MW disposal in ten cities with the largest MW production in 2020 increased by 7% over 2019 to 43,800 tons and other pollutants increased by 6% to 12%. Economically, Shanghai exhibits the highest cost-effectiveness, while Nanjing delivers the lowest. It can be observed that the adoption of optimal environmental technologies has resulted in a diminution of greenhouse gas emissions by 279,000 tons and energy conservation of 1.76 billion MJ.

Abstract
Efficient extracellular vesicle (EV) enrichment and timely internal RNA detection for cancer diagnostics are highly desirable and remain a challenge. Here, we report a rapid EV aggregation induced in-situ microRNA detection technology based on cationic lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles encapsulating cascade system of catalytic hairpin assembly and CRISPR-Cas12a (CLHN-CCC), allowing for EV enrichment in three-dimensional space and in-situ detection of internal microRNAs in one step within 30 min. The enrichment efficiency (>90%) of CLHN-CCC is demonstrated in artificial EVs, cell-secreted EVs and serum EVs, which is 5-fold higher than that of traditional ultracentrifugation. The sensitive detection of artificial EVs and internal miR-1290 was achieved with the limit of detection of 10 particles/μL and 0.07 amol, respectively. After lyophilization, CLHN-CCC shows no obvious loss of performance within 6 months, making it much more robust and user friendly. This technique could sensitively (sensitivity = 92.9%) and selectively (selectivity = 85.7%) identify low amount miR-1290 in serum EVs, distinguishing early-stage pancreatic cancer patients from healthy subjects, showing high potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
The design and construction of suitable sensors that can selectively recognize chemically similar substances such as aliphatic and aromatic amines remain challenging. In this work, we reported a poly(phenylacetylene) bearing two aldehyde pendants as the color indicator for discriminative identification of amines. Reversible Schiff-base reaction of the aldehyde group with the amine resulted in a conformational transition of the polyacetylene backbone from cis-cisoid to cis-transoid, which further achieved a colorimetric change. Thirteen aliphatic amines and aromatic amines had been studied. Compared with aromatic amines, aliphatic amines generally caused the polyene backbone to display perceivable colorimetric change. Steric and electronic effect played a significant role in the colorimetric response. In addition, external environment, including amine content, polymer concentration, and temperature, had influence on the sensitivity of this colorimetric indicator system. The amines-induced colorimetric variation was further demonstrated by the CIELAB color space. Moreover, the colorimetric sensor exhibited excellent reversibility and recyclability.

Abstract
Leather and textile industrial effluents are the main disseminating routes for chromium contamination of water bodies, causing adverse impacts on public and environmental health. The attempt to remediate chromium through conventional wastewater treatment methods is inefficient. Therefore, this study aims to synthesize zinc-doped nickel ferrite pinecone biochar (Zn-NiF@PBC) nanocomposite for the removal of chromium from wastewater systems. The Zn-NiF@PBC nanocomposite was synthesized via the co-precipitation method. The properties of zinc-doped nickel ferrite (Zn-NiF) were effectively modified by blending with biochar at 1, 5, 10, and 15 % (w/w) which was successfully embedded with Zn-Ni ferrite nanoparticles. This was characterized and confirmed by typical adsorbent properties such as a high surface area of 104 m2/g, conducive pore volume of 0.117 cm3/g and pore size of 3.41 nm (BET), interactive multi-functional groups (FTIR), surface charge determination (pHpzc,), crystalline structure (XRD) and very rough surface morphology (SEM). The maximum chromium adsorption was found to be 95 % at the specific experimental condition of pH 3, adsorbent dose 1 g/50 mL, contact time 120 min, and initial chromium concentration 100 mg/L. The adsorption experimental data was best fitted with the Langmuir isotherm at R2 0.98 indicating the adsorption process was homogeneous and monolayer whereas the kinetics adsorption was resembling the second-order kinetic at R2 0.99. Moreover, the adsorption thermodynamics was spontaneous, endothermic, and increased the change in entropy. Finally, the regeneration of Zn-NiF@PBC was found to be effective up to five 5 cycles but gradually degrading in terms of removal efficiency after 3 cycles. In general, Zn-NiF@PBC can remediate chromium from wastewater with huge potential for scale-up and extend to other pollutants clear-up.

Abstract
The release of antibiotics has attracted wide attention due to their abuse and discharge. How to remove these emerging contaminants is an urgent need to be solved. In the present study, sludge-based biochar combining chitosan and iron oxide was prepared via municipal sewage sludge. The novel biochar modified with chitosan and iron oxide exhibited satisfying performance in eliminating antibiotics from water. The application of modified biochar combined with activated persulfate (PS) showed a remarkable removal efficiency of 96.98% for tetracycline (TC). Analysis of the surface characteristics of the modified biochar showed the presence of structural defects, dispersed iron oxides, abundant functional groups, a porous structure, and a relatively stable crystal structure. These characteristics attributed significant importance to facilitating the degradation of TC. A series of experimental conditions including preparation temperature (600-900 ℃), reaction temperature (15-45 ℃), contaminant concentration (30-180 mg/L), adsorbent usage (0.1-1 g/L), pH (2-10), and persulfate addition concentration (1-5 mmol) were conducted. The results revealed that the highest removal efficiency was achieved at 96.98% under the conditions of TC concentration at 30 mg/L, reaction temperature at 35 ℃, pH of 4, adsorbent addition amount of 0.6 g/L, and PS concentration of 2 mmol, respectively. Three degradation pathways and seven intermediate products of TC were proposed. Therefore, our study provides a promising approach for developing effective removal of antibiotic pollutants.

Abstract
The adverse effects of heavy metals have arousing concern in the high geological background area, especially in southwestern Guizhou, China. However, the pollution status of heavy metals are still unclear when exposed to rice and corn in Guizhou province. Therefore, the concentration, pollution level, spatial distribution, and probabilistic health risks of Ni, Cr, Pb, Cu, and Zn are estimated in rice and corn. A total of 241 samples (117 for rice and 124 for corn) were collected from Guizhou province and measured by a method of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results showed that rice and corn were contaminated with Ni and Cr. High concentrations of Ni were presented in the southeast of rice. It indicated that 22.0 % of rice samples were contaminated with Ni. HI values for children and adults exceeded 1.0 in rice and corn, suggesting that humans might be subject to probabilistic non-carcinogenic risks. FTCR demonstrated that rice and corn might cause probabilistic carcinogenic risks to children and adults, which were both greatly higher than 1.0 × 10-4. Moreover, the contributions of Ni to the HI and FTCR were the highest for adults and children. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the exposure of heavy metals in rice and corn, especially in Ni. The results would provide a novel prospective for pollution control and be helpful for environmental regulation.

Abstract
In the domain of big data geographic screening for environmental pollutants, the expeditious dissemination of testing results to environmental investigation professionals is pivotal in facilitating comprehensive analysis and the implementation of more efficacious strategies for managing environmental issues. However, this endeavor can prove to be particularly arduous when conducting examinations in remote, resource-scarce rural areas and field environments, where deficient infrastructure often emerges as the principal impediment to unimpeded environmental monitoring. Therefore, the development of a reliable and portable monitoring strategy with the ability to analyze large amounts of data is highly required. Here, a deep-learning (DL)-assisted portable sensing strategy was developed based on thermal and pH dual-responsive nano-structural superwetting surfaces, for highly reliable, quick, and field monitoring of environmental pollutants. In our experiment, bisphenol A (BPA) was selected as the representative pollute. The achieved limit of detection, attaining a remarkably low value of 1.05 μM, unequivocally adhered to stringent international testing standards for evaluating the migration of BPA in thermal paper. Based on a DL image classification algorithm, highly precise predictions regarding the migration of BPA concentration were achieved, with an accuracy rate exceeding 99%. Furthermore, it successfully facilitated automated and exceedingly reliable monitoring of the migration of BPA from thermal paper within the principal provinces of thermal paper production in China. This strategy engenders the potential to establish correlations between environmental pollutant concentrations in specific regions and the prevalence of certain human ailments.

Abstract
The global issue of environmental contamination from industrial wastewater comprising Cu, Fe and Pb demands effective treatment strategies. In this article, a functional composite sorbent was devised to selectively remove copper, iron, and lead from a real-world mimicking wastewater system. For the purpose, high, medium, and low molecular weight chitosan with amine and hydroxyl functional groups were used as a substrate, and glutaraldehyde was used to anchor the organic compound with carboxymethyl groups. Characterization with X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray analyzer accompanied by field emission scanning electron microscope, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller were conducted for the synthesized adsorbent. Accordingly, the properties of the adsorbent were evaluated to infer that the synthesis assured a purified and functionalized system. The surface area of the medium carboxymethyl chitosan derivative was analyzed as 31.43 m2 g-1. Various adsorption parameters were examined methodically to assess upon optimal removal requirements. The effect of adsorbent dosage, contact time and concentration on the adsorption of the studied metal ions were conducted and the optimum values were achieved at pH 3.82, 540 min contact duration and 1.2 g L-1 sorbent dose. Maximum adsorbent capacities of 344.83 mg g-1, 9.59 mg g-1, and 90.09 mg g-1 were realized for Cu, Pb, and Fe, respectively. The experimental measurements of the studied heavy metal ions inferred the best fitness of Langmuir isotherm equilibrium and pseudo second order kinetic models. Further, elution studies with easy-to-deploy low-cost acidic and basic eluents (HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, KOH, and NaOH) were conducted with cyclic adsorption-desorption strategies. These investigations confirmed the adsorbent's good reusability up to 3 cycles of adsorption and its proximity to serve as a potential material for multi-heavy metal ions elimination from complex adsorbate systems.

Abstract
An off-on fluorescent probe (NS-CDs-AgNPs) was synthesized based on a one-pot microwave process by utilizing N, S co-doping carbon dots (NS-CDs) and silver nitrate as precursors. The significant peak of NS-CDs-AgNPs at 393 nm in ultraviolet spectrum indicated silver nanoparticle (AgNPs) were successfully synthesized. A faint blue fluorescence emission (442 nm) was displayed when excited NS-CDs-AgNPs at 371 nm. A remarkable fluorescence recovery was observed upon adding of trance Hg2+, whereas the other heavy metal ions did not elicit this response. The reason for this phenomenon was revealed in this work that a spontaneous redox reaction occurred between NS-CDs-AgNPs and Hg2+, which leaded to the formation of NS-CDs-Agn-2NPsHg complexes. On the basis of this mechanism, a new off-on fluorescent analytical method was constructed for Hg2+ detection with linear range of 10-400 nM (R2 = 0.9941), and the detection limit (LOD) of 5.16 nM. Additionally, satisfactory recovery (90.28%-106.13%) and the relative standard deviation (RSD) (RSD<5.21%) were obtained in water sample detection. More importantly, the NS-CDs-AgNPs exhibited lower cytotoxicity and better biocompatibility, indicating a huge potential in cell imaging and clinical medicine.

Abstract
Using Caenorhabditis elegans as an animal model, we investigated combinational effect between 2-hydroxyatrazine (HA) and polystyrene nanoparticle (PS-NP) on function and development of D-type motor neurons. Exposure to HA (10 and 100 μg/L) alone caused decreases in body bend, head thrash, and forward turn and increase in backward turn. Exposure to 100 μg/L HA also caused neurodegeneration of D-type motor neurons. Moreover, combinational exposure to HA (0.1 and 1 μg/L) induced enhancement in PS-NP (10 μg/L) toxicity in inhibiting body bend, head thrash, and forward turn, and in increasing backward turn. In addition, combinational exposure to HA (1 μg/L) could result in neurodegeneration of D-type motor neurons in PS-NP (10 μg/L) exposed nematodes. Combinational exposure to HA (1 μg/L) and PS-NP (10 μg/L) increased expressions of crt-1, itr-1, mec-4, asp-3, and asp-4, which govern the induction of neurodegeneration. Moreover, combinational exposure to HA (0.1 and 1 μg/L) strengthened PS-NP (10 μg/L)-induced decreases in glb-10, mpk-1, jnk-1, and daf-7 expressions, which encode neuronal signals regulating response to PS-NP. Therefore, our results demonstrated the effect of combinational exposure to HA and nanoplastics at environmentally relevant concentrations in causing toxic effect on nervous system in organisms.

Abstract
Global waste production is anticipated reach to 2.59 billion tons in 2030, thus accentuating issues of environmental pollution and health security. 37 % of waste is landfilled, 33 % is discharged or burned in open areas, and only 13.5 % is recycled, which makes waste management poorly efficient in the context of the circular economy. There is therefore a need for methods to recycle waste into valuable materials through resource recovery process. Progress in the field of recycling is strongly dependent on the development of efficient, stable, and reusable, yet inexpensive catalysts. In this case, a growing attention has been paid to development and application of nanobiocatalysts with promising features. The main purpose of this review paper is to: (i) introduce nanobiomaterials and describe their effective role in the preparation of functional nanobiocatalysts for the recourse recovery aims; (ii) provide production methods and the efficiency improvement of nanobaiocatalysts; (iii) give comprehensive description of valued resource recovery for reducing toxic chemicals from the contaminated environment; (iv) describe various technologies for the valued resource recovery; (v) state the limitation of the valued resource recovery; (vi) and finally economic importance and current scenario of nanobiocatalysts strategies applicable for the resource recovery processes.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of mesoporous silica nanospheres as an adsorbent to remove doxorubicin (DOX) from aqueous solution. The surface and structural properties of mesoporous silica nanospheres were investigated using BET, SEM, XRD, TEM, ζ potential, and point of zero charge analysis. To optimize DOX removal from aqueous solution, a Box-Behnken surface statistical design (BBD) with four times factors, four levels, and response surface modeling (RSM) was used. A high amount of adsorptivity from DOX (804.84 mg/g) was successfully done under the following conditions: mesoporous silica nanospheres dose = 0.02 g/25 mL; pH = 6; shaking speed = 200 rpm; and adsorption time = 100 min. The study of isotherms demonstrated how well the Langmuir equation and the experimental data matched. According to thermodynamic characteristics, the adsorption of DOX on mesoporous silica nanospheres was endothermic and spontaneous. The increase in solution temperature also aided in the removal of DOX. The kinetic study showed that the model suited the pseudo-second-order. The suggested adsorption method could recycle mesoporous silica nanospheres five times, with a modest reduction in its ability for adsorption. The most important feature of our adsorbent is that it can be recycled five times without losing its efficiency.

Improving the rate capacity and cycle stability of FeP anodes for lithium-ion batteries via in situ carbon encapsulation and copper doping. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 634:346-356.

Abstract
FeP has emerged as an appealing anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) thanks to its high theoretical capacity, safe voltage platform and rich resources. Nevertheless, sluggish charge transfer kinetics, inevitable volume expansion and easy agglomeration of active materials limit its practical applications. Here, novel Cu-doped FeP@C was synthesized by a synergistic strategy of metal doping and in situ carbon encapsulation. The optimized Cu-doped FeP@C anode demonstrates a highly reversible specific capacity (920 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1), superb rate performance (345 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1) and long-term cycle stability (340 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 600 cycles). The electrochemical mechanism was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, kinetic analysis and DFT calculations. The results reveal that carbon frameworks can improve the conductivity and slow down the volume expansion, with highly dispersed FeP facilitating Li-ion migration during the charge and discharge processes. Additionally, Cu doping leads to rearrangement of the charge density and an additional lattice distortion in FeP, which boosts the electron mobility and enriches the surface-active sites, promoting electrochemical reaction and charge storage. This study presents a feasible and effective design for developing transition metal phosphate (TMP) anodes for high-performance LIBs.

Abstract
Optimization necessitates every feature to be scrutinized associated with enhancement for microwave absorption. So, interplay between simulation and experiment is a significant aspect to find optimal findings in this regard. Herein, microwave absorption characteristics of as-prepared FeWO4 and BiVO4 nanomaterials were investigated by preparing mono layer and bilayer samples. For the bilayer samples, simulation technique was used to regulate microwave absorption efficiency. Using simulation technique, bilayer sample has achieved a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -42 dB with BiVO4 as a top layer (0.6 mm thickness) and FeWO4 as a bottom layer (0.8 mm thickness) with effective absorption Bandwidth (EAB) of 13 GHz (15-2 GHz) at 8.2 GHz frequency. The results show that the layered architecture of the absorbent is substantially responsible for its remarkable microwave absorption efficiency. Simulated results of the bilayer sample were also verified with experimental findings. This work provides a facile synthesis route, novel insights into the design of bilayer absorbent as well as simulation and experimental support for high-performance microwave bilayer absorber.

Abstract
The efficient adsorption of radioactive elements from nuclear wastewater is an important research topic in the environmental field. The unique three-dimensional porous structure of aerogels has great potential in the field of adsorption. Phosphoric-modified aloe vera/chitosan aerogel (CS/AL-AP) was prepared from chitosan, phosphoric acid, and aloe powder by vacuum freeze-drying self-assembly. The maximum adsorption of uranyl ions by CS/AL-AP was found to be 322.34 mg/g at pH 6, adsorption time of 120 min, solid-to-liquid ratio of 0.125 g/L, reaction temperature of 303 K, and initial uranyl ion concentration of 50 mg/L. The adsorption process is consistent with the Langmuir isotherm model and the quasi-secondary kinetic model, indicating that the adsorption process is monolayer adsorption. The type of adsorption is mainly chemisorption. FTIR and XPS analyses indicate that the adsorption of U(VI) by CS/AL-AP results from the combined action of coordination or chelation of amino, hydroxyl, and carboxyl groups. In addition, CS/AL-AP shows excellent adsorption capacity in the presence of complex co-existing ions. After five adsorption-desorption experiments, the adsorption capacity of CS/AL-AP for uranyl ions remained at a high level. It indicates that CS/AL-AP has good stability and recoverability. The results indicate that CS/AL-AP has excellent potential in the field of uranium removal.

Abstract
In the present study, a nanocomposite adsorbent based on mesoporous silica nanotubes (MSNTs) loaded with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (3-APTES@MSNTs) was synthesized. The nanocomposite was employed as an effective adsorbent for the adsorption of tetracycline (TC) antibiotics from aqueous media. It has an 848.80 mg/g maximal TC adsorption capability. The structure and properties of 3-APTES@MSNT nanoadsorbent were detected by TEM, XRD, SEM, FTIR, and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. The later analysis suggested that the 3-APTES@MSNT nanoadsorbent has abundant surface functional groups, effective pore size distribution, a larger pore volume, and a relatively higher surface area. Furthermore, the influence of key adsorption parameters, including ambient temperature, ionic strength, initial TC concentration, contact time, initial pH, coexisting ions, and adsorbent dosage, had also been investigated. The 3-APTES@MSNT nanoadsorbent's ability to adsorb the TC molecules was found to be more compatible with Langmuir isothermal and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. Moreover, research on temperature profiles pointed to the process' endothermic character. In combination with the characterization findings, it was logically concluded that the 3-APTES@MSNT nanoadsorbent's primary adsorption processes involved interaction, electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding interaction, and the pore-fling effect. The synthesized 3-APTES@MSNT nanoadsorbent has an interestingly high recyclability of >84.6 percent up to the fifth cycle. The 3-APTES@MSNT nanoadsorbent, therefore, showed promise for TC removal and environmental cleanup.

Abstract
Rainwater discharge and human impacts produce wastewater, which is a contaminated type of water. Sediments also discharge phosphate into the water column when there is a lack of dissolved oxygen in the water. Through the manufacturing of environmentally benign nanoparticles, nanotechnology may reduce the amount of money spent by enterprises to remediate such contaminants. Because of their improved physiological, biochemical, and biomechanical qualities, nanoparticles are getting prominence. The importance of the global wastewater dilemma is discussed in this survey. The use of nanomaterials in heavy metal remediation (HMR) and wastewater treatment is covered in this survey. This paper also discusses the benefits of nanotechnology over traditional approaches in certain fields. This survey aims to gather together many recent studies on nanoparticle production and their benefits as adsorbents in the remediation of wastewater which have been done so far. The promising role of nanotechnology in wastewater remediation is surveyed in this research, which also discusses recent developments in nanotechnology-mediated remediation methods. This survey examines the vital potential of nanotechnology in wastewater treatment, as well as recent breakthroughs in nanotechnology-mediated treatment systems.

Abstract
In this work, we report two novel solid-state opto-chemosensors that proffer exclusive selectivity and excellent sensitivity for the naked-eye detection of ultra-trace Co2+ ions. The opto-chemosensors are concocted using structurally engineered porous silica and polymer monolith templates that are uniformly arranged with a chromoionophoric probe i.e., (Z)-2-mercapto-5-(quinolin-8-yldiazenyl)pyrimidine-4,6-diol (AQTBA). The probe anchored monolithic opto-chemosensors induces sequential color transitions, from yellowish-orange to dark brown, with incremental addition of Co2+ ions. The optimized ground state structure of the AQTBA probe and its AQTBA-Co2+ complex are analyzed using a gaussian 16 program at B3LYP level, with a 6-311+ G (d, p) basis set. The structural and surface morphology of the opto-sensors are characterized using various microscopic, spectroscopic, and diffraction techniques, which discloses a uniform pattern of pore network that proffers rapid ion diffusion kinetics to the probe chelating sites. The proposed monolithic sensors exhibit a high degree of tolerance towards various foreign cations and anions, thus revealing its exclusive selectivity in targeting ultra-trace concentrations of Co2+. The silica and polymer monolithic sensors exhibit a broad linear response range of 0-200 ppb, with a detection limit of 0.35 and 0.07 ppb for Co2+ ions, respectively. The unique features of the proposed sensors are their faster response kinetics (120 s), greater reusability (nine cycles), excellent chemical and thermal durability (pH ≤ 12.0; T ≤ 200 °C), with reliable data reproducibility (recovery ≥99.3 %; RSD ≤2.3 %). The proposed solid-state opto-chemosensors paves way for maximum waste reduction strategy, along with the feasibility for real-time monitoring of environmental and industrial water samples.

Abstract
In this study, naturally abundant and inexpensive bamboo was used to make cheaper activated charcoal for efficient encapsulation of toxic copper (Cu(II)) ion from wastewater. The functionalized bamboo charcoal-Layered double hydroxides (BC-LDHs) composite bio-adsorbent was prepared using co-precipitation method. The composite bio-adsorbent was exploited to eliminate Cu(II) ion with high sensitivity and selectivity from contaminated water. The adsorption parameters including the effect of pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, and effect of initial concentration were optimized in systematic way and the adsorption kinetics and isotherms were investigated for potential use in real sample treatment. The physicochemical properties and morphological structure of the adsorbent were examined using X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electronic Microscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Thermogravimetric Analysis to understand the Cu(II) ion adsorption mechanism. The adsorption results revealed that the BC-LDH could remove almost 100% of Cu(II) ion from aqueous solution at pH range between 3.0 and 6.0 within 30 min. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity was determined to be 85.47 mg/g based on the Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption equilibrium data were well-fitted by the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.998) and the experimental kinetic data were supported by the pseudo-second order model (R2 = 0.999). The BC-LDH could be reused without losing its adsorption performance in several cycles after successful regeneration with 0.10 M HCl. The Cu(II) ion removal mechanism was postulated with intercalated ion exchange, surface precipitation and interaction between BC-LDH and surface functionalities. Therefore, the highly functional BC-LDH composite could be a promising adsorbent for efficient Cu(II) ion removal from wastewater.

Abstract
Sensitive detection and effective removal of copper ions (Cu2+) from water are still arduous tasks required to protect public health and environmental safety because of the serious impacts of Cu2+ on humans and other organisms. Herein, we report the design and fabrication of self-supporting flexible amidated polyacrylonitrile/branched polyethyleneimine nanofiber membranes (abbreviated as aPAN/BPEI NMs) via facile electrospinning and a subsequent hydrothermal method, which are used not only as strips for the visual detection of Cu2+ but also as effective adsorbents for the removal of Cu2+ from water. Because aPAN/BPEI NMs are self-supporting, they can be easily removed from the solution to reduce secondary pollution to the environment. Based on the high Cu2+ binding capacity of BPEI, Cu2+ ions are adsorbed on the aPAN/BPEI NMs, which leads to the appearance of new absorbance bands at 280 and 636 nm and a color change from yellow to blue. aPAN/BPEI NMs are utilized for the visual detection of Cu2+ with a linear range of 50-700 μM and limits of detection of 11.5 and 4.8 μM (absorption peaks at 280 and 636 nm). More importantly, aPAN/BPEI NMs exhibit excellent selectivity and certain recovery with a simple treatment. Furthermore, by utilizing the adsorption characteristics of Cu2+ in aqueous media, it can be effectively removed by aPAN/BPEI NMs with a remarkable adsorption capacity of 209.53 mg·g-1. Additionally, the removal of Cu2+ by aPAN/BPEI NMs does not exhibit interference by other foreign ions. The adsorption process conforms well to the pseudo-second order (PSO) kinetic model and Jovanovich model, proving that adsorption occurs via chemical and monolayer adsorption mechanisms. Accordingly, this work will provide theoretical and technical support for the design and fabrication of novel heavy metal ion detection-removal integrated materials exhibiting high sensitivity and strong adsorption.

Abstract
Heavy metals-containing drinking water and wastewater are posing a severe threat to the environment, and living beings on land, air and water. Different conventional, advanced nanomaterials-based and biological method has been employed for the treatment of heavy metals. Among the biological methods, microalgae are an important group of micro-organisms that have numerous environmental applications and can remediate heavy metals from wastewater. Also, it has numerous advantages over conventional remediation processes. Microalgae cells can uptake the heavy metal via different physiological and biological methods and are utilized as a nutrient source to regulate its metabolic process for the production of biomass. Furthermore, the enhancement in heavy metal removal efficiency can be improved using different strategies such as immobilization of algal cells, development of algal consortia and designing of microalgae-based nanocomposite materials. Also, it can significantly contribute towards environmental sustainability and future. Thus, the review provides a critical overview of heavy metals and their existence along with their negative effects on humans. This review provides insight on recent advanced nanomaterial approaches for the removal of heavy metals, overviews of microalgae-based heavy metal uptake mechanisms and their potential for the amputation of different heavy metals.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant of increasing worldwide concern to both humans and animals. Selenium yeast (Se-Y) is an organic selenium source that has been shown an advantage in antagonizing Cd-induced liver necroptosis in chicken. Herein, we described the discovery path of Se-Y antagonism in Cd-induced renal necroptosis in chicken through targeting miR-26a-5p/PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. We set up four groups of chickens at random: control group (0.5 mg/kg Na2SeO3), Se-Y group (0.5 mg/kg Se-Y), Se-Y+Cd group (0.5 mg/kg Se-Y and 150 mg/kg CdCl2) and Cd group (150 mg/kg CdCl2 and 0.5 mg/kg Na2SeO3). Interestingly, we found Se-Y, but not Na2SeO3, significantly blocked Cd accumulation in the kidney and alleviated Cd-induced necroptosis through inhibiting the expression of RIP1, RIP3 and MLKL. Se-Y, activated miR-26a-5p expression, thereby down-regulated the expression of PTEN, resulting in the up-regulation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and the inhibition of oxidative stress in both Se-Y and Cd treated chickens. Besides that, Se-Y could also specifically reduce the expression levels of heat shock protein 60 (HSP60), HSP70 and HSP90 in Se-Y and Cd co-treated chickens. Taken together, our results showed that Se-Y has an added value to antagonize Cd-induced necroptosis in chicken kidney by regulating the miR-26a-5p/PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and HSPs, indicating that Se-Y could serve as an effective antagonist on Cd-induced renal necroptosis in chickens.
