A three-dimensional hierarchical porous graphene aerogel as a fiber coating for headspace solid-phase microextraction: Enhancing the enrichment and detection of polychlorinated naphthalenes in fish. Talanta 2024; 274:125913. [PMID: 38547839 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125913] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024]
Abstract
In this study, a novel three-dimensional hierarchical porous deep eutectic solvents-modified graphene aerogel (3D DES-GA) was synthesized for use as a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber coating. The SPME fiber was characterized by its fluffy and hierarchical porous structure, uniform thickness, and rapid mass transfer capabilities. This fiber demonstrated a lifetime (≥160 uses) and excellent precision (with relative standard deviations of 2.4-6.6% for single fiber and 6.0-9.8% for fiber-to-fiber repeatability). The SPME fiber also exhibited remarkable extraction performance for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls, which are common persistent organic pollutants in environmental samples. When combined with gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, the method allowed for high-efficiency extraction (enrichment factors ranging from 1225 to 4652 folds) and sensitive determination (limit of detection ranging from 0.010 to 0.056 pg g-1) of polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) in complex samples. To validate this method, we applied it to the determination of four PCNs in five types of fish tissues. The results revealed the presence of 1-chloronaphthalene at concentrations of 7.0 ± 2.9-34.8 ± 2.1 pg g-1 and 1,4-dichloronaphthalene at concentrations of 6.0 ± 0.3-10.9 ± 1.4 pg g-1 in three fish species. Compared with reported sample pretreatment methods reported in the literature, this proposed headspace SPME method offers additional advantages, including simplicity of operation and reduced sample and organic solvent consumption.

Abstract
Current potentiometric Cu2+ sensors mostly rely on polymer-membrane-based solid-contact ion-selective electrodes (SC-ISEs) that constitute ion-selective membranes (ISM) and solid contact (SC) for respective ion recognition and ion-to-electron transduction. Herein, we report an ISM-free Cu2+-SC-ISE based on Cu-Mn oxide (Cu1.4Mn1.6O4) as a bifunctional SC layer. The starting point is simplifying complex multi-interfaces for Cu2+-SC-ISEs. Specifically, ion recognition and signal transduction have been achieved synchronously by an ion-coupled-electron transfer of crystal ion transport and electron transfer of Mn4+/3+ in Cu1.4Mn1.6O4. The proposed Cu1.4Mn1.6O4 electrode discloses comparable sensitivity, response time, high selectivity and stability compared with present ISM-based potentiometric Cu2+ sensors. In addition, the Cu1.4Mn1.6O4 electrode also exhibits near Nernstian responses toward Cu2+ in natural water background. This work emphasizes an ISM-free concept and presents a scheme for the development of potentiometric Cu2+ sensors.

Abstract
One of the common causes of water pollution is the presence of toxic dye-based effluents, which can pose a serious threat to the ecosystem and human health. The application of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) for wastewater decolorization has been widely investigated due to their efficient removal and eco-friendly treatments. This review attempts to create an awareness of different forms and methods of using Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) for wastewater decolorization through a systematic approach. Overall, some suggestions on classification of dyes and related environmental/health problems, and treatment methods are discussed. Besides, the mechanisms of dye removal by S. cerevisiae including biosorption, bioaccumulation, and biodegradation and cell immobilization methods such as adsorption, covalent binding, encapsulation, entrapment, and self-aggregation are discussed. This review would help to inspire the exploration of more creative methods for applications and modification of S. cerevisiae and its further practical applications.

Copper hexacyanoferrate/carbon sheet combination with high selectivity and capacity for copper removal by pseudocapacitance. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 659:993-1002.

Abstract
The efficient capture of copper ions (Cu2+) in wastewater has dual significance in pollution control and resource recovery. Prussian blue analog (PBA)-based pseudocapacitive materials with open frameworks and abundant metal sites have attracted considerable attention as capacitive deionization (CDI) electrodes for copper removal. In this study, the efficiency of copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) as CDI electrode for Cu2+ treating was evaluated for the first time upon the successful synthesis of copper hexacyanoferrate/carbon sheet combination (CuHCF/C) by introducing carbon sheet as conductive substrate. CuHCF/C exhibited significant pseudocapacitance and high specific capacitance (52.92 F g-1) through the intercalation, deintercalation, and coupling of Cu+/Cu2+ and Fe2+/Fe3+ redox pairs. At 0.8 an applied voltage and CuSO4 feed liquid concentration of 100 mg L-1, the salt adsorption capacity was 134.47 mg g-1 higher than those of most reported electrodes. Moreover, CuHCF/C demonstrated excellent Cu2+ selectivity in multi-ion coexisting solutions and in actual wastewater experiments. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to elucidate the mechanism. This study not only reveals the essence of Cu2+ deionization by PBAs pseudocapacitance with promising potential applications but also provides a new strategy for selecting efficient CDI electrodes for Cu2+ removal.

Abstract
In this work, a novel electrospun chitosan (CS)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibrous membrane was prepared to remove heavy metal ions and organic pollutants from water. The nanofiber morphologies were adjusted through the optimal electrospinning process parameters. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterizations indicated that a well-crosslinked CS/PVP/PVA nanofiber film was formed. Under the optimize conditions, the obtained CS/PVP/PVA nanofiber membranes exhibited porous and uniform nanofibrous structures with an average diameter of 160 nm and a pure water permeability of 4518.91 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1. In addition, the adsorption and separation performance of CS/PVP/PVA nanofiber membranes were evaluated with Cu(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) and Methylene Blue (MB), Malachite Green (MG) as target ions and dyes. The results showed that the retention rate of CS/PVP/PVA nanofiber membranes for Cu(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), MG and MB can reach 94.20%, 90.35%, 83.33%, 80.12%, 84.01% and 69.91%, respectively. The adsorption capacities of Cu(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), MG and MB were 34.79, 25.24, 18.07, 16.05, 17.86 and 13.27 mg g-1. The adsorption kinetics of heavy metal ions and dyes by the nanofiber membranes can be explained by the Langmuir isotherm model and represented by the pseudo-second-order kinetic mechanism that determined the spontaneous chemisorption process. This study provides a synthetic approach to membranes for the removal of organic and heavy metal micropollutants from water.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) contamination poses an urgent environmental risk, and its removal from groundwater remains a challenge due to the lack of efficient adsorbents. Herein, a novel granular chitosan-titanium (CS-Ti) adsorbent was fabricated by the sol-gel method. Batch experiments show that As(V) adsorption on CS-Ti followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the adsorption isotherm conformed to the Freundlich model with the correlation coefficient of 0.99. In situ FTIR spectra revealed that the CS-Ti adsorbent was composed of amorphous TiOx and chitosan by forming C-O-Ti and N-Ti bonds, and the amorphous TiOx was responsible for As(V) adsorption. Rapid small-scale column tests show that 165.6 μg/L of As in groundwater were effectively removed in approximately 126-bed volumes, and the spent adsorbents were regenerated with 0.01 mol/L NaOH and maintained the adsorption efficiency after four cycles. This study provides a simple and practical route to fabricate adsorbents for water treatment.

Abstract
Removing toxic heavy metal species from aqueous solutions is a point of concern in our society. In this paper, a promising biomass adsorbent, the modified waste shrimp shell (MS), for Cu (II) removal was successfully prepared using a facile and simple one-step modification, making it possible to achieve high-efficiency recycling of the waste NaOH solution as the modification agent. The outcome shows that with the continuous increase in pH, temperature and ion concentration, the adsorption effect of MS on Cu (II) can also be continuously improved. Adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics were fitted with the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order model, respectively, and the maximum adsorption capacity of Cu (II) as obtained from the Langmuir isotherm model fitting reached 1.04 mmol/g. The systematic desorption results indicated that the desorption rate of Cu (II) in the MS could reach 100% within 6 min, where HNO3 is used as the desorption agent. Moreover, experiments have proven that after five successive recycles of NaOH as a modifier, the adsorption capacity of MS on Cu (II) was efficient and stable, maintaining tendency in 0.83-0.85 mmol/g, which shows that waste NaOH solution can be used as a modification agent in the preparation of waste shrimp shell adsorbent, such as waste NaOH solution produced in industrial production, thereby making it possible to turn waste into renewable resources and providing a new way to recycle resources.

Abstract
Nano-fiber composites have shown promising potential in biomedical and biotechnological applications. Herein, novel nano-fiber composites constituting a blend of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan (CS) along with different weight ratios of nano-bioactive glass (BG) were prepared by electrospinning. Nano-fibers incorporating 10% (by wt.) of BG were uniform, dense and defect-free with a diameter of 20-125 nm. The model osteoporotic drug (Risedronate sodium) was blended with the electrospinning forming solution and the in-vitro drug release was further studied. About 30% of the drug was released after only 30 min and the release pattern was sustained over 96 h. Drug release took place through a two-stage intra-particle diffusion mechanism. BG-incorporated nano-fibers markedly retarded the drug release profile relative to their BG-free counterparts. They also enhanced the drug release efficiency by releasing 93 ± 4% of the drug. The developed nano-fiber composites can be potentially used as drug-delivery vehicles due to their efficiency and sustained drug release capacity.
