Abstract
In the current work, a rapid, simple, low-cost, and sensitive smartphone-based colorimetric sensor array coupled with pattern-recognition methods was proposed for the determination and differentiation of some organic and inorganic bases (i.e., OH-, CO32-, PO43-, NH3, ClO-, diethanolamine, triethanolamine) as model compounds. The sensing system has been designed based on color-sensitive dyes (Fuchsine, Giemsa, Thionine, and CoCl2) which were used as sensor elements. The color changes of a sensor array were observed by the naked eye. The color patterns were recorded using digital imaging in a three-dimensional (red, green, and blue) space and quantitatively analyzed with color calibration techniques. Distinctive colorimetric patterns for target bases via linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) were observed. The results indicated that the analytes related to each class (at the different concentration levels in the range of 0.001-1.0 mol L-1) were clustered together in the canonical discriminant plot and HCA dendrogram with high sensitivity and an overall precision of 85%. Furthermore, the first function factor of LDA correlated with the concentration of each target analyte in a correlation coefficient (R2) range of 0.864-0.996. These described procedures based on the colorimetric sensor array technique could be a promising candidate for practical applications in package technology and facile detection of pollutants.

Abstract
We have modeled here chronic Daphnia toxicity taking pNOEC (negative logarithm of no observed effect concentration in mM) and pEC50 (negative logarithm of half-maximal effective concentration in mM) as endpoints using QSAR and chemical read-across approaches. The QSAR models were developed by strictly obeying the OECD guidelines and were found to be reliable, predictive, accurate, and robust. From the selected features in the developed models, we have found that an increase in lipophilicity and saturation, the presence of electrophilic or electronegative or heavy atoms, the presence of sulphur, amine, and their related functionality, an increase in mean atomic polarizability, and higher number of (thio-) carbamates (aromatic) groups are responsible for chronic toxicity. Therefore, this information might be useful for the development of environmentally friendly and safer chemicals and data-gap filling as well as reducing the use of identified toxic chemicals which have chronic toxic effects on aquatic ecosystems. Approved classes of drugs from DrugBank databases and diverse groups of chemicals from the Chemical and Product Categories (CPDat) database were also assessed through the developed models.

Abstract
Halonitromethanes (HNMs), a representative nitrogen-containing disinfection byproduct, have gained significant concerns due to their higher cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. UV/chlorination is considered a promising alternative disinfection technology for chlorination. This study aimed to investigate the HNMs formation from benzylamine (BZA) during UV/chlorination. The experimental results revealed that the yields of HNMs initially raised to a peak then dropped over time. Higher chlorine dosage and BZA concentration promoted the formation of HNMs, whereas alkaline pH inhibited their formation. The presence of bromine ion (Br-) not only converted chlorinated-HNMs (Cl-HNMs) to brominated (chlorinated)-HNMs Br (Cl)-HNMs) and brominated-HNMs (Br-HNMs) but also enhanced the total concentration of HNMs. Besides, the calculated cytotoxicity index (CTI) and genotoxicity index (GTI) of HNMs were elevated by 68.97% and 60.66% as Br- concentration raised from 2 to 6 µM. The possible formation pathways of HNMs from BZA were proposed based on the intermediates identified by a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). In addition, the formation rules of HNMs in actual water verified the results in deionized water during UV/chlorination. The results of this study provide basic data and a theoretical basis for the formation and control of HNMs, which is conducive to applying UV/chlorination.

Abstract
ConspectusCarbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage (CCS) is a means to enable the continued use of fossil fuels in the short term. In particular, postcombustion CO2 capture has attracted considerable attention because it can be retrofitted into existing power plants and industrial plants. Among various CO2 capture technologies, the absorption of CO2 using aqueous amines has been industrially employed for decades. However, such amine scrubbing technologies have inherent limitations of environmental and health concerns due to volatile amine loss, corrosion, and high energy demands for regeneration. To overcome these limitations, CO2 adsorption using solid adsorbents has emerged as a promising alternative due to its noncorrosiveness and low energy demand. Various amine-containing adsorbents have been synthesized and investigated for postcombustion CO2 capture. These materials are prepared by physically impregnating low-vapor-pressure amine polymers or by chemically grafting amines onto nanoporous materials. A wide variety of amine guests and nanoporous hosts (e.g., SiO2, Al2O3, zeolites, MOFs, and polymers) have been combined to develop advanced CO2 adsorbents.The design of CO2 adsorbents is a multifaceted puzzle that must ultimately consider integration with large-scale CO2 capture processes. Various engineering aspects need to be carefully considered. Unfortunately, a significant proportion of previous studies has primarily focused on the use of novel materials for improving the CO2 adsorption capacity. In this Account, we describe key challenges and solutions to develop energy-efficient and stable amine-containing adsorbents for postcombustion CO2 capture via temperature swing adsorption (TSA). We found that a high CO2 working capacity, often overemphasized in the literature, does not necessarily guarantee a low energy demand for CO2 capture. Suppressing coadsorption of H2O during the CO2 adsorption in humid flue gas is also a significant factor. Amine-containing adsorbents can be degraded through various pathways, including hydrothermal degradation of nanoporous hosts and chemical degradation of amine guests via urea formation and oxidation. To inhibit such degradation pathways, it is extremely important to properly design the nanoporous structures of the hosts and the molecular structures of the amine guests. By combining macroporous silica hosts, poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) functionalized with various alkyl epoxides, and phosphate-based oxidative stabilizers, we could synthesize adsorbents exhibiting low energy demands for CO2 capture and unprecedentedly high thermochemical stability under TSA conditions. The macroporous silica host synthesized by assembling fumed silica particles via spray-drying exhibited high hydrothermal stability and enabled uniform distribution of bulky amine polymers within its pores. The functionalization of PEI with alkyl epoxides converted its primary amines into hindered secondary amines, leading to a significant reduction in energy demand for TSA cycles and a remarkable improvement in long-term stabilities. The oxidative stability of amines could be drastically improved by adding phosphate metal-binding reagents, which can poison ppm-level metal impurities that catalyze amine oxidation. The present discussions will provide important insights into designing practical adsorbents for CO2 capture from engineering perspectives.

Abstract
Our main goal in this work is to synthesize valuable sulfonamide compounds according to the principles of green chemistry and also to present a unique convergent paired mechanism for their synthesis. In this study, we introduced a new type of convergent paired electro-organic synthesis of sulfonamide derivatives via a catalyst, oxidant, halogen and amine-free method. In this research, instead of using toxic amine compounds, an innovative mechanism based on the reduction of nitro compounds and in-situ production of amine compounds was used. The mechanism of electrophile generation is the cathodic reduction of the nitro compound to the hydroxylamine compound and then the anodic oxidation of the hydroxylamine to the nitroso compound. On the other hand, the nucleophile generation mechanism involves the two-electron oxidation of sulfonyl hydrazide to related sulfinic acid at the anode surface. The reaction leading to the synthesis of sulfonamides involves a one-pot reaction of the generated nitroso compound with the produced sulfinic compound.

Abstract
Reports of aerobic biogenic methane (CH 4 ) have generated new views about CH 4 sources in nature. We examine this phenomenon in the free-flowing Yellowstone river wherein CH 4 concentrations were tracked as a function of environmental conditions, phototrophic microorganisms (using chlorophyll a , Chl a , as proxy), as well as targeted methylated amines known to be associated with this process. CH 4 was positively correlated with temperature and Chl a , although diurnal measurements showed CH 4 concentrations were greatest during the night and lowest during maximal solar irradiation. CH 4 efflux from the river surface was greater in quiescent edge waters (71-94 μmol m-2 d) than from open flowing current (~ 57 μmol m-2 d). Attempts to increase flux by disturbing the benthic environment in the quiescent water directly below (~ 1.0 m deep) or at varying distances (0-5 m) upstream of the flux chamber failed to increase surface flux. Glycine betaine (GB), dimethylamine and methylamine (MMA) were observed throughout the summer-long study, increasing during a period coinciding with a marked decline in Chl a , suggesting a lytic event led to their release; however, this did not correspond to increased CH 4 concentrations. Spiking river water with GB or MMA yielded significantly greater CH 4 than nonspiked controls, illustrating the metabolic potential of the river microbiome. In summary, this study provides evidence that: (1) phototrophic microorganisms are involved in CH 4 synthesis in a river environment; (2) the river microbiome possesses the metabolic potential to convert methylated amines to CH 4 ; and (3) river CH 4 concentrations are dynamic diurnally as well as during the summer active months.

Abstract
Bromide ion (Br-) is known as a prevalent component in water environments, which exhibits significant impacts on halonitromethanes (HNMs) formation. This study was performed to explore and compare the formation, toxicity, and mechanisms of HNMs from poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDACl) in the absence and presence of Br- in the UV/monochloramine (UV/NH2Cl) disinfection process. The results showed that chlorinated HNMs were found in the absence of Br-, while brominated (chlorinated) HNMs and brominated HNMs were found in the presence of Br-. Furthermore, the peaks of total HNMs were promoted by 2.0 and 2.4 times, respectively when 1.0 and 2.0 mg L-1 Br- were added. Also, the peaks of total HNMs were enhanced with the increase of the NH2Cl dosage, which were reduced with the increase of pH. It should be noted that Br- induced higher toxicity of HNMs, and the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of HNMs with the addition of 2.0 mg L-1 Br- were 78.0 and 3.7 times those without the addition of Br-, respectively. Meanwhile, both the reaction mechanisms of HNMs produced from PDDACl were speculated in the absence and presence of Br-. Finally, different HNMs species and yields were discovered in these two real water samples compared to those in simulated waters. These findings of this work will be conducive to understanding the significance of Br- affecting HNMs formation and toxicity in the disinfection process.

Abstract
Current-use Organoamine Pesticides (CUOAPs) are a growing concern as emerging pesticide pollutants that were initially discovered on a large scale in Chinese Marginal Seas (CMSs). The highest level was detected in the East China Sea in the late spring and decreased in the following order: East China Sea (early spring) > the South China Sea > the Bohai Sea. The crucial role played by the Yangtze and Yellow rivers as significant terrestrial sources were established. The fluctuations in the land application and riverine input led to variations in the source, distribution, and seasonal patterns of CUOAPs. Terrestrial-exported CUOAPs were transported and redistributed spatially by the surface ocean currents, resulting in significant regional disparities. The results displayed a pronounced terrestrial source signature and a cross-regional impact. By the ocean current transport, CMSs will likely become a secondary source region for the surrounding seas.

Abstract
In a comprehensive study on the presence and distribution of Currently Using Organoamine Pesticides (CUOAPs) in the Arctic Ocean, this study collected and analyzed 36 surface seawater samples during the summer of 2021. The study detected 36 CUOAPs, 17 of these compounds at levels exceeding the Method Detection Limits (MDLs). Concentrations of CUOAPs ranged from 0.11 to 2.94 ng/L, exhibiting an average of 1.83 ± 0.83 ng/L. Spatial distribution analysis revealed lower CUOAP concentrations in the central Arctic Ocean, with Cycloate constituting the most abundant component (23.66 %). The investigation identified terrestrial inputs and long-range atmospheric transport as potential sources of CUOAPs in the Arctic Ocean region. The origins of individual CUOAPs appeared to be associated with application procedures and their propensity for co-occurrence at low latitudes. The study also examined the role of ocean currents in the transport and redistribution of CUOAPs in surface seawater across different regions. While ocean currents played a significant role, the influence of sea ice cover on CUOAP distribution was minimal. An ecological risk assessment analysis underscored the need for regional attention to the presence of CUOAPs in the Arctic Ocean.

Abstract
Compared with other techniques for wastewater treatment, adsorption offers an effective, economical and ecofriendly way to reduce the content of biogenic amines. Herein, the poly(ether-block-amide) (PEBA 2533) membranes were employed as the adsorbent to remove histamine, putrescine, cadaverine and tyramine in the synthetic and real wastewater from a local yellow rice wine factory. Electrospun PEBA membranes consisting of fine nanofibers were successfully obtained without the addition of surfactant for the first time. Characteristics of the prepared membranes were evaluated by their morphology, wetting behaviors and mechanical properties. Adsorption performance of the nanofibrous membrane was investigated in comparison to the dense membrane prepared by conventional casting. The fibrous membrane exhibited much higher adsorption rate over 10 times to the dense membrane along with 1.5 times more adsorption capacity towards the amines. In addition, the as-prepared membrane showed a promising reusability in the real wastewater treatment. The good balance of its chemical stability, adsorption capacity, selectivity, removal efficiency and reusability endows the electrospun membrane with an outstanding potential to be applied in the acidic wastewater treatment for the yellow rice wine industry.

Fitzsimons MF, Tilley M, Cree CHL. The determination of volatile amines in aquatic marine systems: A review. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1241:340707. [PMID: 36657869 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2022.340707] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 12/01/2022] [Accepted: 12/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
This review provides a critical assessment of knowledge regarding the determination of volatile, low molecular weight amines, and particularly methylamines, in marine aquatic; systems. It provides context for the motivation to determine methylamines in the marine aquatic environment and the analytical challenges associated with their measurement.While sensitive analytical methods have been reported in recent decades, they have not been adopted by the oceanographic community to investigate methylamines' biogeochemistry and advance understanding of these analytes to the degree achieved for other marine volatiles. Gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and infusion-mass spectrometry techniques are discussed and critically determined, alongside offline and online preconcentration steps. Interest in the marine occurrence and cycling of methylamines has increased within the last 10-15 years, due to their potential role in climate regulation. As such, the need for robust, reproducible methods to elucidate biogeochemical cycles for nitrogen and populate marine models is apparent. Recommendations are made as to what equipment would be most suitable for future research in this area.

Abstract
The present study investigated if new biocomposite materials, polyurethanes (PURs) added with functionalized cellulose fibers, produce potential toxic effects on two target organisms currently used in biomonitoring the quality of two different environmental compartments. Natural fibers were extracted from the species Spartium junceum L., a shrub commonly found in the southern region of the Mediterranean having a high cellulose content. All PURs produced were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and their structure was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. We measured the effects of exposure to aromatic and aliphatic PUR composites (containing or not cellulose fibers) on the aquatic model organism Daphnia magna Straus, a freshwater crustacean (Cladocera), and a biomonitor of air quality, the fruticose epiphytic lichen Pseudevernia furfuracea (L.) Zopf. Leachates from aliphatic PUR composite not containing cellulose are more toxic to D. magna than all others, showing a slight acute toxicity in the case of the shortest exposure (24 h) and a moderate acute toxicity in the longer one (48 h). This effect is most likely due to the presence of free organic ammines and amides, which, in their turn, are immobilized in composites containing cellulosic fibers because of the considerable amount of chemical functional groups. Regarding lichens, both types of aliphatic PURs resulted in a toxic effect. Formulate not added with cellulose strongly promoted fungal peroxidation, whereas that which was functionalized affected the pigment concentration of the algal partner. Our results suggest that the use of cellulose in PUR production, in general, can limit the ecotoxicological effects on both test organisms and reduce the potential environmental impact due to this type of polymer.

Abstract
While CO2 capture is considered a key climate change mitigation option, we must ensure that global implementation occurs without causing harm to the local environment and the human health. The most mature option for capture is using amines, which however, is associated with a risk of contaminating nearby drinking water sources with carcinogenic nitramines (NAs) and nitrosamines (NSAs). Here we present the first process-based simulation of NAs and NSAs in a catchment-lake system with the input of previously modelled atmospheric deposition rates. Considering full-scale CO2 capture at the Oslo waste incineration plant in Norway, future (∼10 y) levels in a nearby lake approach the national drinking water limit. We further quantified the effect of hydrological and biogeochemical processes and identified those with the highest sensitivity (NA biodegradation). The uncertainty of the results is presented by a probabilistic distribution (Monte Carlo analysis), incorporating variability in catchment, lake, and literature NA and NSA parameter values. This modelling tool allows for the site-specific assessment of the abovementioned risks related to amine-based CO2 capture and aspires to contribute to the sound evaluation of costly amine emission reduction measures.

Abstract
The toxic effects of ammonium derivatives in the river water depend dramatically on their natural or synthetic origins and on their chemical structures. It has been proved that 1-naphtylamine (1-NA) and diphenylamine (DPA) breaking impact on the ammonium oxidation and especially on nitrite ions oxidation processes in natural waters is associated with its toxicity. The NH4+ oxidation process slows down for about five days and ten days in river water samples with 0.5 mg/L DPA and corresponding 0.5 mg/L 1-NA. The NO2− oxidation delay in model samples of river water with 0.025 and 0.05 mg/L 1-NA, is four days and 35 days in the one with 0.5 mg/L 1-NA. For the sample with 0.05 mg/L DPA the delay of the NO2− oxidation is approximately of six days and 25 days for sample with 0.5 mg/L, DPA. The laboratory simulations have revealed: (1) absorption–desorption, the micro biotic reaction to the instantaneous increase of the concentration of ammonium ion in the river water (so-called shock/stress effect) and (2) the NH4+ increase stimulated by a certain (0.05 mg/L) concentration of 1-NA.The diethylamine (DEA) decomposition leads to increasing with approximately 3.8 mg/L NH4+ in river water samples of 20.0 mg/L DEA.

Formation of halonitromethanes from methylamine in the presence of bromide during UV/Cl 2 disinfection. J Environ Sci (China) 2022; 117:28-36.

Abstract
The UV/Cl2 process is commonly used to achieve a multiple-barrier disinfection and maintain residuals. The study chose methylamine as a precursor to study the formation of high-toxic halonitromethanes (HNMs) in the presence of bromide ions (Br-) during UV/Cl2 disinfection. The maximum yield of HNMs increased first and then decreased with increasing concentration of Br-. An excessively high concentration of Br- induced the maximum yield of HNMs in advance. The maximum bromine incorporation factor (BIF) increased, while the maximum bromine utilization factor (BUF) decreased with the increase of Br- concentration. The maximum yield of HNMs decreased as pH value increased from 6.0 to 8.0 due to the deprotonation process. The BUF value remained relatively higher under an acidic condition, while pH value had no evident influence on the BIF value. The maximum yield of HNMs and value of BUF maximized at a Cl2:Br- ratio of 12.5, whereas the BIF value remained relatively higher at low Cl2:Br- ratios (2.5 and 5). The amino group in methylamine was first halogenated, and then released into solution as inorganic nitrogen by the rupture of C-N bond or transformed to nitro group by oxidation and elimination pathways. The maximum yield of HNMs in real waters was higher than that in pure water due to the high content of dissolved organic carbon. Two real waters were sampled to verify the law of HNMs formation. This study helps to understand the HNMs formation (especially brominated species) when the UV/Cl2 process is adopted as a disinfection technique.

Abstract
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is commonly used as an alternative disinfectant to chlorine because it has a high bactericidal effect and may produce limited concentrations of halogenated disinfection byproducts (DBPs). However, previous studies have reported that free available chlorine (FAC) was produced when ClO2 reacted with some compounds, such as phenol, leading to the formation of halogenated DBPs. In this study aliphatic amines was found to react rapidly with ClO2 to form significant amount of FAC and its related DBPs. This study investigated the formation of FAC when ClO2 reacts with six model aliphatic amines (including primary amines, secondary amines and tertiary amines). FAC was formed immediately as ClO2 was added to the precursor solution. The maximum yield of FAC even reached 45% (based on consumed ClO2) when ClO2 reacted with 20 μM methylamine at a dose of 10 μM, which is close to a realistic maximum dose (about 0.8 mg/L) in the U.S.. The reactivity of amines to result FAC follows the sequence tertiary amines < secondary amines < primary amines. It was verified that the addition of aliphatic amines may enhance the formation of FAC during ClO2 oxidation in actual water samples. Organic chloramines and other chlorinated DBPs, such as cyanogen chloride, were detected when ClO2 was used as the sole oxidant of real water samples. This study demonstrated that chlorine-related byproducts may also be formed in the presence of organic amines during ClO2 treatment.

Abstract
In the current research study, iron-zinc co-doped TiO2 was reported as an energy efficient material for the degradation of DIPA and inactivation of E. coli and S. aureus under visible light irradiation. In addition, molecular docking simulation was performed to provide further insight into possible targets for inhibiting bacterial development. The synthesized nanocomposites were screened and optimized for different synthesis and reaction parameters. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized nanocomposites were evaluated through different characterization techniques. The wet impregnation (WI) approach was among the most successful methods for the synthesis of Fe-Zn-TiO2 nanocomposite (NC) utilizing anatase titanium. Moreover, 66.5% (60 min reaction time) and 100% (190 min reaction time) chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal was obtained through optimized NC, i.e., 0.1Fe-0.4Zn metal composition and 300 °C calcination temperature. The energy consumption for the best NC was 457.40 KW h m−3. Moreover, 0.1Fe-0.4Zn-TiO2-300 was more efficient against S. aureus compared to E. coli with 100% reduction in 90 min of visible light irradiations. Furthermore, 0.1Fe-0.4Zn-TiO2-300 NC showed that the binding score for best docked conformation was −5.72 kcal mol−1 against β-lactamase from E. coli and −3.46 kcal mol−1 from S. aureus. The studies suggested the Fe-Zn in combination with TiO2 to be a possible inhibitor of β-lactamase that can be further tested in enzyme inhibition studies.

Abstract
Consumption of water contaminated with pathogenic bacteria is a major cause of water-borne diseases. To address this challenge, we have developed a novel and sensitive sensing scheme for the rapid detection of bacteria (Escherichia coli B40) on a fiber-optic platform using bacteriophage (T4) as a bio-recognition element. The novelty of our sensing scheme is that instead of bacteriophages, bacteria (analyte) were first captured on the sensing surface and then the sensing surface was subjected to bacteriophages for specific detection of bacteria. The sensor was subjected to 100 to 107 cfu/mL of E. coli B40 spiked in a lake water matrix, and the least concentration of bacteria that could be easily detected was found to be 1000 cfu/mL. The control studies were performed with nonhost bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Bacteriophage T4, being specific to its host E. coli B40, did not interact with P. aeruginosa captured on the sensing probe, giving a negligible nonspecific response. Due to the specificity of bacteriophages to its host bacteria, it is possible to use this scheme to carry out the detection of specific bacteria in a mixed sample (containing a combination of bacteria) using bacteriophages specific to it. The sensor was able to detect E. coli B40 (target bacteria) even in the presence of a very high concentration (1000 times higher) of P. aeruginosa (nontarget bacteria).

Abstract
Reports of biogenic methane (CH4) synthesis associated with a range of organisms have steadily accumulated in the literature. This has not happened without controversy and in most cases the process is poorly understood at the gene and enzyme levels. In marine and freshwater environments, CH4 supersaturation of oxic surface waters has been termed the "methane paradox" because biological CH4 synthesis is viewed to be a strictly anaerobic process carried out by O2-sensitive methanogens. Interest in this phenomenon has surged within the past decade because of the importance of understanding sources and sinks of this potent greenhouse gas. In our work on Yellowstone Lake in Yellowstone National Park, we demonstrate microbiological conversion of methylamine to CH4 and isolate and characterize an Acidovorax sp. capable of this activity. Furthermore, we identify and clone a gene critical to this process (encodes pyridoxylamine phosphate-dependent aspartate aminotransferase) and demonstrate that this property can be transferred to Escherichia coli with this gene and will occur as a purified enzyme. This previously unrecognized process sheds light on environmental cycling of CH4, suggesting that O2-insensitive, ecologically relevant aerobic CH4 synthesis is likely of widespread distribution in the environment and should be considered in CH4 modeling efforts.

Abstract
Carbon capture from large sources and ambient air is one of the most promising strategies to curb the deleterious effect of greenhouse gases. Among different technologies, CO2 adsorption has drawn widespread attention mostly because of its low energy requirements. Considering that water vapor is a ubiquitous component in air and almost all CO2-rich industrial gas streams, understanding its impact on CO2 adsorption is of critical importance. Owing to the large diversity of adsorbents, water plays many different roles from a severe inhibitor of CO2 adsorption to an excellent promoter. Water may also increase the rate of CO2 capture or have the opposite effect. In the presence of amine-containing adsorbents, water is even necessary for their long-term stability. The current contribution is a comprehensive review of the effects of water whether in the gas feed or as adsorbent moisture on CO2 adsorption. For convenience, we discuss the effect of water vapor on CO2 adsorption over four broadly defined groups of materials separately, namely (i) physical adsorbents, including carbons, zeolites and MOFs, (ii) amine-functionalized adsorbents, and (iii) reactive adsorbents, including metal carbonates and oxides. For each category, the effects of humidity level on CO2 uptake, selectivity, and adsorption kinetics under different operational conditions are discussed. Whenever possible, findings from different sources are compared, paying particular attention to both similarities and inconsistencies. For completeness, the effect of water on membrane CO2 separation is also discussed, albeit briefly.

Abstract
Monomethylamine (MMA) is an important climate-active oceanic trace gas and ubiquitous in the oceans. γ-Glutamylmethylamide synthetase (GmaS) catalyzes the conversion of MMA to γ-glutamylmethylamide, the first step in MMA metabolism in many marine bacteria. The gmaS gene occurs in ∼23% of microbial genomes in the surface ocean and is a validated biomarker to detect MMA-utilizing bacteria. However, the catalytic mechanism of GmaS has not been studied because of the lack of structural information. Here, the GmaS from Rhodovulum sp. 12E13 (RhGmaS) was characterized, and the crystal structures of apo-RhGmaS and RhGmaS with different ligands in five states were solved. Based on structural and biochemical analyses, the catalytic mechanism of RhGmaS was explained. ATP is first bound in RhGmaS, leading to a conformational change of a flexible loop (Lys287-Ile305), which is essential for the subsequent binding of glutamate. During the catalysis of RhGmaS, the residue Arg312 participates in polarizing the γ-phosphate of ATP and in stabilizing the γ-glutamyl phosphate intermediate; Asp177 is responsible for the deprotonation of MMA, assisting the attack of MMA on γ-glutamyl phosphate to produce a tetrahedral intermediate; and Glu186 acts as a catalytic base to abstract a proton from the tetrahedral intermediate to finally generate glutamylmethylamide. Sequence analysis suggested that the catalytic mechanism of RhGmaS proposed in this study has universal significance in bacteria containing GmaS. Our results provide novel insights into MMA metabolism, contributing to a better understanding of MMA catabolism in global carbon and nitrogen cycles.

Abstract
Commercially available microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was functionalized using chlorosulfonic acid, while iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were adsorbed on the surface of the cellulose derivative by the Massart’s co-precipitation method. The obtained magnetite-decorated sulfate cellulose nanoparticles (MDSCNs) were characterized via Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning-electron microscopy (SEM), and elemental analysis, while the acidity of the functionalized cellulose was determined using an acid–base titration with phenolphthalein as an indicator. Furthermore, in order to determine the adsorptive power of the obtained composite, a series of analyses were performed on aqueous amine pollutants using flame ionization detection gas chromatography (GC-FID). The results of this study clearly show how a bio-compatible green polymer as cellulose can be easy functionalized in order to improve its chemical and physical properties, obtaining a magnetic composite useful in water purification. Adsorption percentages up to 90% and a very small amount of composite used (100 mg) proved how our material can be a powerful tool in environmental remediation.

Abstract
Investigations were conducted to examine the effects of amine type and initial concentration, free chlorine concentration, UV light intensity, pH and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) on the formation of dichloronitromethane (DCNM) under UV/chlorine. Methylamine (MA), dimethylamine (DMA) and poly-dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (PolyDADMAC) were selected as the amine precursors of DCNM. And the reaction products of amines were explored through observing the contents of various nitrogen under UV/chlorine. Experimental results indicated that the higher of the intensity of UV light, the concentration of amines and free chlorine, the greater of the amount of DCNM formation; the amine substance with simple structure is more likely oxidized to form DCNM, so the potential of MA to form DCNM is the largest among three amines; the formation of DCNM decreased with increasing pH from 6.0 to 8.0; due to adding TBA into the reaction solution, halogen and hydroxyl radicals were restrained which resulted the DCNM formation decreased. In the reaction process, the formation of DCNM from amines increased at the beginning, then decreased and almost disappeared due to photodegradation. During the formation and photodegradation of DCNM, the dissolved organic nitrogen could be transformed into the ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N) and nitrate-nitrogen (NO3--N).

Abstract
With the extensive applications and ongoing world demand, more and more amine surfactants are discharged into natural environment. However, the database about toxicity of amine surfactants is incomplete, which is not beneficial to environmental protection process. In this paper, the toxicity of 20 amine surfactants on Daphnia magna were tested to extend the toxicity data of amine surfactants. Besides, 35 molecular structure descriptors including quantum parameters, physicochemical parameters and topological indices were chosen and calculated as independent variables to develop the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model between the toxicity of amine surfactants and their molecular structure by genetic function approximation (GFA) algorithm. According to statistical analysis, a robust model was built with the determination coefficient of (R2) was 0.962 and coefficient determinations of cross-validation (Rcv2) was 0.794. Meanwhile, external validation was implemented to evaluate the QSAR model. The result of coefficient determinations of cross-validation (Rext2) for external validation was calculated as 0.942, illustrating the model has great goodness-of-fit and good prediction ability.

Abstract
Amine compounds are considered highly important in environmental pollution, industrial, and medicinal fields. The objective of this work was to develop a disposable, highly accurate, highly selective, and low-cost paper-based probe through the combination of color change of seven pH indicators for the detection of amine compounds in the gaseous state. The probe was designed with seven rings which were printed using the wax-printing technique and colored with different pH indicators. The colors of the probe were analyzed using red, green, and blue (RGB) values extracted from the images obtained with a homemade smartphone application. The chemometric tools, principal component analysis, and hierarchical cluster analysis methods were adapted to further classify amine gases. The colorimetric probe showed an excellent capability for detecting the amines with high accuracy, prompt response, and high selectivity. These dye arrays have been proven to detect ethanolamine (NH2CH2CH2OH), dimethylamine ((CH3)2NH), and trimethylamine ((CH3)3N) gases at parts per million scale.

Abstract
Amine-based CO2 capture (ACC) has become one cost-effective method for reducing carbon emissions in order to mitigate climate changes. The amine-rich wastewater (ARWW) generated from ACC may contain a series of degradation products of amine-based solvents (ABSs). These products are harmful for ecological environment and human health. Effective and reliable ARWW treatment methods are highly required for mitigating the harmfulness. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive review of the existing limited methods that can guide ARWW-related technological advancements and treatment practices. To fill this gap, the review is achieved in this study. All available technologies for treating the ARWW from washwater, condenser, and reclaimer units in ACC are examined based on clarification of degradation mechanisms and ARWW compounds. A series of significant findings and recommendations are revealed through this review. For instance, ARWW treatment methods should be selected according to degradation conditions and pollution concentrations. UV light can be only used for treating wastewater from washwater and condenser units in ACC. Biological activated carbon is feasible for removing nitrosamines from washwater and condenser units. Sequence batch reactors, microbial fuel cells, and the other techniques for removing amines and similar degradation products are applicable for treating ARWW. This review provides scientific support for the selection and improvement of ARWW treatment techniques, the mitigation of ACC's consequences in environment, health and other aspects, and the extensive development and applications of ACC systems.

Abstract
As potable reuse guidelines and regulations continue to develop, the presence of N-nitrosamines is a primary concern because of their associated health concerns. In this study, bench-, pilot-, and full-scale tests were conducted to focus on the occurrence and treatment of N-nitrosomorpholine (NMOR) in United States (U.S.) potable reuse systems. Out of twelve U.S. wastewater effluents collected, ambient NMOR was detected in eleven (average = 20 ± 18 ng/L); in contrast, only two of the thirteen surface water and stormwater samples had NMOR. Across all of these samples maximum formation potential by chloramination produced an average increase of 3.6 ± 1.8 ng/L. This result underscores the need to understand the sources of NMOR as it is not likely a disinfection byproduct and it is not known to be commercially produced within the U.S. At the pilot-scale, three potable reuse systems were evaluated for ambient NMOR with oxidation (i.e., chlorination and ozonation), biofiltration, and granular activated carbon (GAC). Both pre-oxidation and biofiltration were ineffective at mitigating NMOR during long-term pilot plant operation (at least eight-months). GAC adsorbers were the only pilot-scale treatment to remove NMOR; however, complete breakthrough occurred rapidly from <2000 to 10,000 bed volumes. For comparison, a full-scale reverse osmosis (RO) potable reuse system was monitored for a year and confirmed that RO effectively removes NMOR. Systematic bench-scale UV-advanced oxidation experiments were undertaken to assess the mitigation potential for NMOR. At a fluence dose of 325 ± 10 mJ/cm2, UV alone degraded 90% of the NMOR present. The addition of 5 mg/L hydrogen peroxide did not significantly decrease the UV dose required for one-log removal. These data illustrate that efficient NMOR removal from potable reuse systems is limited to RO or UV treatment.

Abstract
Due to increasing evidence of key chemically mediated interactions in marine ecosystems, a real interest in the characterization of the metabolites involved in such intra and interspecific interactions has emerged over the past decade. Nevertheless, only a small number of studies have succeeded in identifying the chemical structure of compounds of interest. One reason for this low success rate is the small size and extremely polar features of many of these chemical compounds. Indeed, a major challenge in the search for active metabolites is the extraction of small polar compounds from seawater. Yet, a full characterization of those metabolites is necessary to understand the interactions they mediate. In this context, the study presented here aims to provide a methodology for the characterization of highly polar, low molecular weight compounds in a seawater matrix that could provide guidance for marine ecologists in their efforts to identify active metabolites. This methodology was applied to the investigation of the chemical structure of an algicidal compound secreted by the bacteria Shewanella sp. IRI-160 that was previously shown to induce programmed cell death in dinoflagellates. The results suggest that the algicidal effects may be attributed to synergistic effects of small amines (ammonium, 4-aminobutanal) derived from the catabolization of putrescine produced in large quantities (0.05–6.5 fmol/cell) by Shewanella sp. IRI-160.

In this study, a simple, reliable, and practical methodology is reported for the quantitative determination by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with electron impact ionization (EI) and triple quadrupole analyzer (GC-EI-MS/MS) of eight NAs after micro-solid-phase extraction (μ-SPE) from wastewater and swimming pool water. Thirty milligram of an ordered mesoporous carbonaceous material, oxidative surface-modified CMK-3, enclosed within a porous polypropylene membrane bag, were used as sorbent for μ-SPE. A central composite design approach was applied to optimize the μ-SPE parameters. An isotopically-labeled NA was used as internal standard. Under the optimized conditions, μ-SPE-GC-EI-MS/MS was validated for an NA concentration range of between 0.1-100ng/mL. The precision of the method was evaluated and an average relative standard deviation of 4.8% (n=8) for a standard solution spiked at 50ng/mL of each NA was obtained. The limits of detection were measured to be in the range of 0.005-0.283ng/mL. Domestic wastewater and swimming pool water samples were used to evaluate the applicability of the method. NAs were detected in swimming pool water and wastewater at concentrations of <2ng/mL and 11ng/mL, respectively.

Abstract
The C1-compound monomethylamine can serve as a nitrogen, carbon, and energy source for heterotrophic bacteria. The marine alphaproteobacterium Donghicola sp. strain KarMa can use monomethylamine as a source only for nitrogen and not for carbon. Its draft genome sequence is presented here and reveals putative gene clusters for the methylamine dehydrogenase and the N-methylglutamate pathways for monomethylamine metabolism.

Abstract
In the present study, 40 freshwater sediments collected near 14 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) across the United States were analyzed for eight N-nitrosamines by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Three N-nitrosamines were detected for the first time in freshwater sediments in units of ng/g dry weight at the specified detection frequency: N-nitrosodibutylamine (NDBA; 0.2-3.3; 58%), N-nitrosodiphenylamine (NDPhA; 0.2-4.7; 50%), and N-nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR; 3.4-19.6; 18%). At least one N-nitrosamine was detected in 70% (28/40) of sediments analyzed. Non-detect values in units of ng/g dw were obtained for N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA; <10.2), N-nitrosomethylethylamine (NMEA; <1.7), N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA; <3.9), N-nitroso-di-n-propylamine (NDPA; <1.7), and N-nitrosopiperidine (NPIP; <3.6). Principal component analysis specifically points to two of multiple potential pathways explaining N-nitrosamine occurrences in sediment: NDBA and NDPhA were positively correlated with bulk water ammonia and pH levels, and NPYR with sediment content of organic carbon and iron. Interestingly, N-nitrosamine occurrences up- and downstream of WWTPs were statistically indistinguishable (p>0.05). This is the first report on the occurrence of the carcinogenic N-nitrosamines NDBA, NDPhA, and NPYR in U.S. freshwater sediments. Discovery of this phenomenon warrants further research on the compounds' origin, environmental persistence, aquatic toxicity, and risks posed.
