Efficient toxic nitrite monitoring and removal from aqueous media with ligand based conjugate materials

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) composite of polyaniline-CNT@aluminum succinate for non-enzymatic nitrite sensor

Nitrite has been linked to a variety of health issues, as well as cancer and oxygen deficiency when its allowable limit is exceeded. Nitrite monitoring and detection are required due to the negative effects on public health. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based nanomaterials/composites have recently been shown to have the potential for various biological and medical applications like sensing, imaging, and drug delivery. As a result, this research creates an efficient electrochemical sensor by incorporating MOFs into polyaniline (PANI)/carbon nanotube (CNT) cast on the GCE. In situ oxidative polymerization was used to construct an aluminum succinate MOF (Al-Succin)-incorporated CNT/PANI nanocomposite (PANI/CNT@Al-Succin) and well characterized by various characterization techniques, namely, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and four probes to measure DC electrical conductivity. Cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry techniques were employed to detect nitrite on the surface of PANI/CNT@Al-Succin-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). PANI/CNT@Al-Succin-modified GCE demonstrated good current response and electrocatalytic property towards nitrite compared to bare GCE. The newly synthesized electrode exhibited a high electrocatalytic activity towards nitrite oxidation and showed a linear response ranging from 5.7 to 74.1 μM for CV and 8.55-92.62 μM for LSV. The obtained LOD values for CV (1.16 μM) and LSV (0.08 μM) were significantly below the WHO-defined acceptable nitrite limit in drinking water. Results of recovery studies for real samples of apple juice, orange juice, and bottled water were 98.92%, 99.38%, and 99.90%, respectively. These values show practical usability of PANI/CNT@Al-Succin in real samples.

Interleukin-17A knockout or self-recovery alleviated autoimmune reaction induced by fluoride in mouse testis

Fluoride (F) is usually treated as a hazardous material, and F-caused public health problem has attracted global attention. Previous studies demonstrate that interleukin-17A (IL-17A) plays a crucial role in F-elicited autoimmune orchitis and self-recovery reverses F-induced testicular toxicity to some extent, but these basic mechanisms remain unclear. Thus, we established a 180 d F exposure model of wild type (WT) mice and IL-17A knockout mice (C57BL/6 J background), and 60 d & 120 d self-recovery model based on F exposure model of WT mice, and used various techniques like qRT-PCR, western blot, immunohistochemistry and ELISA to further explore the mechanism of F-induced autoimmune reaction, the role of IL-17A in it and the reversibility of F-caused toxicity in testis. The results indicated that F exposure for 180 d caused the decreased sperm quality, the damaged testis histopathology, the enhanced mRNA and protein expression levels of inflammatory cytokines, the changes of autoantibody such as the appearance and increased content of anti-testicular autoantibodies in sera and the autoantibody deposition in testis, the alterations of autoimmune related genes containing the decreased mRNA and protein expressions of AIRE and FOXP3 with an increase of MHCII, and the reduced protein expressions of CTLA4, and the activation of IL-17A signaling cascade like the elevated mRNA and protein expressions of IL-17A, Act1, NF-κB, AP-1 and CEBPβ, and the increased protein expressions of IL-17RC, with a decrease of IκBα. After IL-17A knockout, 29 of 35 F-induced changes were alleviated. In two self-recovery models, all F-caused differences except fluorine concentration in femur were gradually restored in a time-dependent manner. This study concluded that IL-17A knockout or self-recovery attenuated F-induced testicular injury and decrease of sperm quality through alleviating autoimmune reaction which was involved with the activation of IL-17A pathway, the damage of self-tolerance and the enhancement of antigen presentation.

Effective Adsorption and Removal of Doxorubicin from Aqueous Solutions Using Mesostructured Silica Nanospheres: Box-Behnken Design Optimization and Adsorption Performance Evaluation

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.

Preparation of MIL100/MIL101-alginate composite beads for selective phosphate removal from aqueous solution

Numerous studies have reported various approaches for synthesizing phosphate-capturing adsorbents to mitigate eutrophication. Despite the efforts, concerns about production cost, the complexity of synthesis steps, environmental friendliness, and applicability in industrial settings continue to be a problem. Herein, phosphate-selective composite adsorbents were prepared by incorporating alginate (Alg) with MIL100 and MIL101 to produce the MIL100/Alg and MIL101/Alg beads, where Fe³⁺ served as the crosslinker. The unsaturated coordination bond of MIL100 and MIL101 serves as a Lewis acid that can attract phosphate. The adsorption equilibrium isotherm, uptake kinetics, and effects of operating parameters were studied. The phosphate adsorption capacity of MIL100/Alg (103.3 mg P/g) and MIL101/Alg (109.5 mg P/g) outperformed their constituting components at pH 6 and 30 °C. Detailed evaluation of the adsorbent porosity using N₂ sorption reveals the formation of mesoporous structures on the Alg network upon incorporation of MIL100 and MIL101. The composite adsorbents have excellent selectivity toward anionic phosphate and can be easily regenerated. Phosphate adsorption by MIL100/Alg and MIL101/Alg was driven by electrostatic attraction and ligand exchange. Preliminary economic analysis on the synthesis of the adsorbents indicates that the composites, MIL100/Alg and MIL101/Alg, are economically viable adsorbents.

New nano materials-based optical sensor for application in rapid detection of Fe(II) and Pd(II) ions

For the analytical determination of Fe(II) and Pd(II) concentrations, a novel optical sensor based on spectrophotometric technique was used. The optical sensor was prepared by direct immobilization of a novel synthesized chromophore, 5-amino-phenanthrolin-3 formyl salicylic acid, onto nanocellulose. Human vision can identify the color associated with Fe II ions, and spectrophotometric methods can measure it with detection and quantification limits of 0.239 and 0.796 ppb, respectively. Pd(II) detection and quantification limits were 0.318 ppb and 1.06 ppb, respectively. The effects of various parameters on the detection of Fe(II) or Pd(II) ion content were investigated and optimized. The optical phenanthroline-nanocellulose (5-Phen) sensor could be reproduced multiple times and used with a higher capacity each time. The results demonstrated that the 5-Phen sensor could measure Fe(II) in human blood serum accurately and successfully even without any pre-concentration.

Enhanced Adsorption and Evaluation of Tetracycline Removal in an Aquatic System by Modified Silica Nanotubes

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.

Metal-based adsorbents for water eutrophication remediation: A review of performances and mechanisms

Controlling eutrophication requires satisfying stringent phosphorus concentration standards. Metal-based adsorbents can effectively remove excess phosphorus from water bodies and achieve ultra-low phosphorus concentration control for wastewater. This review focuses on the material properties and phosphorus removal mechanism of metal-based adsorbents (Fe, Al, Ca, Mg, La). There are significant differences in physical and chemical properties of different metal materials, due to the different preparation methods and synthetic materials. The main factors affecting phosphorus removal performance include particle size, crystal structure and pH_PZC. Smaller particle size, more disordered crystal structure and higher pH_PZC are more favorable for phosphorus removal. The main mechanism of phosphorus removal by metal-based adsorbents is ligand exchange, which makes it exhibit excellent adsorption capacity, fast kinetics and well selectivity for phosphate. In addition, in order to improve the phosphorus removal performance, the surface properties of the adsorbent (e.g., surface charge, surface area, and functional groups) can be effectively improved by dispersion of biochar carriers or combination of multiple metal materials. In further studies, we should improve the absorption capacity of the adsorbent under high pH conditions and the resistance to coexisting ion interference. Finally, in order to ensure the effective application of metal-based adsorbents in the phosphorus removal field, experimental scale should be expanded in future work to suit the actual water body conditions.

Design of a naphthalimide-based probe for acrolein detection in foods and cells

Acrolein is a highly toxic agent that can be generated exogenously and endogenously. Therefore, a highly specific and sensitive probe for acrolein with potential applications in acrolein detection must be developed. In this research, a novel fluorescent probe named "probe for acrolein detection" (Pr-ACR) was designed and synthesized based on a naphthalimide fluorophore skeleton, and a thiol group (-SH) was introduced into its structure for acrolein recognition. The -SH traps acrolein via Michael addition and the resultant interaction product of the probe inhibits the photoinduced electron transfer process and produce a strong fluorescence at 510 nm. The probe showed high sensitivity and specificity for acrolein. HPLC-MS/MS analysis verified that it can be used to quantify acrolein in foods, such as soda crackers, red wine, and baijiu, with a fluorescence spectrophotometer. After methyl esterification, the methyl esterified probe (mPr-ACR) successfully visualised acrolein in Hela cells under a laser scanning confocal microscope. This finding proved that Pr-ACR and mPr-ACR are potential tools for the detection and visualisation of acrolein from different sources.

Probe tethered monolithic architectures as facile solid-state chemosensors for the on-site colorimetric recognition of Co(II) in aqueous and industrial samples

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.

Functionalized layered double hydroxides composite bio-adsorbent for efficient copper(II) ion encapsulation from wastewater

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.

Fabrication of stable electrospun blended chitosan-poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofibers for designing naked-eye colorimetric glucose biosensor based on GOx/HRP

In this study, designing of a stable electrospun blended chitosan (CS)-poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibers for colorimetric glucose biosensing in an aqueous medium was investigated. CS and PVA solutions were blended to acquire an optimum content (CS/PVA:1/4) and electrospunned to obtain uniform and bead-free CS/PVA nanofiber structures following the optimization of the electrospinning parameters (33 kV, 20 cm, and 1.2 ml.h^-1). Crosslinking process applied subsequently provided mechanically and chemically stable nanofibers with an average diameter of 378 nm. The morphological homogeneity, high fluid absorption ability (>%50), thermal (<230 °C) and morphological stability, surface hydrophilicity and degrability properties of cross-linked CS/PVA nanofiber demonstrated their great potential to be developed as an eye-readable strip for biosensing applications. The glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was immobilized by physical adsorption on the cross-linked CS/PVA nanofiber. The glucose assay analysis by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry using the same enzymatic system of the proposed glucose strips in form of absorbance versus concentration plot was found to be linear over a glucose concentration range of 2.7 to 13.8 mM. The prepared naked eye colorimetric glucose detection strips, with lower detection limit of 2.7 mM, demonstrated dramatic color change from white (0 mM) to brownish-orange (13.8 mM). The developed cross-linked CS/PVA nanofiber strips, prepared by electrospinnig procedure, could be easily adapted to a color map, as an alternative material for glucose sensing. Design of a practical, low-cost, and environmental-friendly bio-based CS/PVA testing strips for eye readable detection were presented and suggested as an applicable medium for a wide range of glucose concentrations.

Review of Chloride Ion Detection Technology in Water

The chloride ion (Cl−) is a type of anion which is commonly found in the environment and has important physiological functions and industrial uses. However, a high content of Cl− in water will do harm to the ecological environment, human health and industrial production. It is of great significance to strictly monitor the Cl− content in water. Following the recent development of society and industry, large amounts of domestic sewage and industrial sewage are discharged into the environment, which results in the water becoming seriously polluted by Cl−. The detection of Cl− has gradually become a research focus. This paper introduces the harm of Cl− pollution in the environment and summarizes various Cl− detection methods, including the volumetric method, spectrophotometry method, electrochemical method, ion chromatography, paper-based microfluidic technology, fluorescent molecular probe, and flow injection. The principle and application of each technology are described; their advantages, disadvantages, and applicability are discussed. To goal of this research is to find a more simple, rapid, environmental protection and strong anti-interference detection technology of Cl−.

High selectivity and adsorption proficiency of surfactant-coated selenium nanoparticles for dye removal application

The rate of environmental pollution augmenting at an alarming rate due to the continuous disposal of toxic dyes directly into the environment and water streams. The direct contact of dyes with water resources directly affects the living beings. The identification of superior methods for the treatment of water pollution caused due to effluent dyes needs higher consideration among researchers for the well-being of living flora and fauna. The available methods for controlling the decontamination of water through toxic dyes have various drawbacks. So, it is highly significant to develop such materials which can easily adsorb the dyes without causing any toxic effect on the environment and living beings. While keeping all the facts in mind, the current work highlights the comparative enhancement in adsorption capacity and selectivity of Brij-58-coated selenium nanoparticles (Brij-58@Se NPs) towards the removal of bromophenol blue (BB) dye from series of chosen dyes in aqueous media. The fabricated Se NPs were methodically characterized and the adsorption behaviour displayed fast adsorption efficiency (98% within 6 min) for BB dye out of series of chosen dyes. The optimization studies were carried out to verify the influence of working variables such as pH (2.0-12.0), response time (1-10 min), dosage amount (0.1-80 mg/l) and concentration of BB dye (1-70 ppm). The adsorption process found to be best fitted for Freundlich adsorption isotherm and pseudo first-order kinetic model. The interference studies of different cationic, anionic species including dyes or metal ions suggested the higher efficiency of Brij-58@Se NPs for adsorptive removal of BB dye from aqueous media. The efficacy of the adsorbent was further tested in six different water resources and displayed 95% adsorption efficiency for BB dye in different wastewater samples. Therefore, Brij-58@Se NP is expected as a potential adsorbent for the adsorption of organic dyes from wastewater samples.

Simultaneous Visual Detection and Removal of Cu2+ with Electrospun Self-Supporting Flexible Amidated Polyacrylonitrile/Branched Polyethyleneimine Nanofiber Membranes

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.

Effective removal of 137Cs ions from radioactive wastewater by Melamine-Styrene based Polymer (MSP)

Cesium (Cs) is a major product of uranium fission, which is one of the most existed radionuclides in radioactive wastes. Removal of Cs-137 has a critical role in the decontamination of liquid radioactive waste due to its half-life of 30.17 years. Concordantly, melamine styrene based conjugated polymer (MSP) was designed, synthesized, and characterized with FTIR, TGA, SEM and BET measurements. The novelty of the study is that the MSP adsorbent is designed as a highly conjugated structure to have better interaction with Cs over the Cs-π bond of the benzene groups of the adsorbent. In this work, the adsorption behavior and rate of MSP were investigated as parameters of adsorbent amount, pH, contact time, particle size, initial Cs⁺ concentration, and temperature. Besides, the adsorption efficiency of Cs-137 was examined by Gamma Spectroscopy. Adsorption results were fitted to three different isotherms which were Freundlich, Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R). The maximum adsorption capacity of polymer for Cs⁺ ion was found from Langmuir isotherm as 78 mg g^-1. As a part of kinetic parameters, pseudo first and second orders were investigated and in terms of the correlation coefficient pseudo second order was much more appropriate for adsorption of Cs-137 onto MSP.
