Gao Y, Zhu J, He A. Effect of dissolved organic matter on the bioavailability and toxicity of cadmium in zebrafish larvae: Determination based on toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic processes. WATER RESEARCH 2022; 226:119272. [PMID: 36283231 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2022.119272] [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: 06/16/2022] [Revised: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The presence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) strongly influences the bioavailability of metals in aquatic environments; however, the association between the binding activities and the concentrations of DOM compositions is not well documented, leading to uncertainties in metal toxicity assessment. We creatively quantify the mitigation and acceleration effects of DOM compositions on cadmium (Cd) bioaccumulation and toxicity in zebrafish larvae using abiotic ligand (ABLs) and biotic ligand (BLs) in a toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic (TK-TD) model. The BL-TK-TD model could accurately predict the protective effect of fulvic acid while overestimating the complexing capacity of citric acid. The model also could successfully simulate the protective effects of native DOM in most cases from 32 natural water bodies in China. The observed LC50 values of Cd showed a peak effect for the native DOM fraction comprising hydrophilic acidic contents (3.55 ± 0.44 mg L - 1) in natural water from 32 sites. The BL-TK-TD model provides practically useful information to identify the effect of different DOM compositions on metal bioavailability and toxicity in aquatic environments and guides future water management policies aimed at controlling aquatic heavy metal pollution.

Abstract
Membrane-free electrodeionization (MFEDI) technology involves in situ electric regeneration of ion exchange resin, and is used to efficiently purify copper-containing wastewater, so that both the wastewater and copper may be reused. The electrode is the core functional component of a MFEDI system. Electrode-selection greatly influences the electric regeneration efficiency, water recovery and energy consumption of MFEDI processes. In this study, a graphene composite electrode was developed to improve MFEDI-system performance. A graphene composite electrode and conventional platinum-plated titanium electrode were both characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical testing. Furthermore, the treatment and electrical regeneration properties of MFEDI systems with these two electrodes were investigated. The specific surface area of the electrode increased after graphene loading, while the oxygen evolution potential decreased. Wastewater treatment experiments demonstrated that MFEDI systems with graphene composite electrodes effectively removed copper from wastewater. The study also highlighted that the electroregeneration efficiency of the MFEDI system was improved by loading with graphene; the average copper concentration in the regeneration solution increased by 1.4 times to 50.4 mg/L, while the energy consumption decreased from 1.55 to 1.48 kWh/m3, and the water recovery rate increased from 85 to 90%.

Copper Tolerance Mechanism of the Novel Marine Multi-Stress Tolerant Yeast Meyerozyma guilliermondii GXDK6 as Revealed by Integrated Omics Analysis. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:771878. [PMID: 34867906 PMCID: PMC8637192 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.771878] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Various agricultural products used in food fermentation are polluted by heavy metals, especially copper, which seriously endangers human health. Methods to remove copper with microbial strategies have gained interests. A novel Meyerozyma guilliermondii GXDK6 could survive independently under high stress of copper (1400 ppm). The copper tolerance mechanism of GXDK6 was revealed by integrated omics in this work. Whole-genome analysis showed that nine genes (i.e., CCC2, CTR3, FRE2, GGT, GST, CAT, SOD2, PXMP4, and HSP82) were related to GXDK6 copper tolerance. Copper stress elevated glutathione metabolism-related gene expression, glutathione content, and glutathione sulfur transferase activity, suggesting enhanced copper conjugation and detoxification in cells. The inhibited copper uptake by Ctr3 and enhanced copper efflux by Ccc2 contributed to the decrease in intracellular copper concentration. The improved expression of antioxidant enzyme genes (PXMP4, SOD2, and CAT), accompanied by the enhanced activities of antioxidant enzymes (peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase), decreased copper-induced reactive oxygen species production, protein carbonylation, lipid peroxidation, and cell death. The metabolite D-mannose against harsh stress conditions was beneficial to improving copper tolerance. This study contributed to understanding the copper tolerance mechanism of M. guilliermondii and its application in removing copper during fermentation.

Isotherm, Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Cu(II) and Pb(II) Adsorption on Groundwater Treatment Sludge-Derived Manganese Dioxide for Wastewater Treatment Applications. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18063050. [PMID: 33809592 PMCID: PMC7999355 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18063050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2021] [Revised: 03/09/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The ubiquitous occurrence of heavy metals in the aquatic environment remains a serious environmental and health issue. The recovery of metals from wastes and their use for the abatement of toxic heavy metals from contaminated waters appear to be practical approaches. In this study, manganese was recovered from groundwater treatment sludge via reductive acid leaching and converted into spherical aggregates of high-purity MnO2. The as-synthesized MnO2 was used to adsorb Cu(II) and Pb(II) from single-component metal solutions. High metal uptake of 119.90 mg g-1 for Cu(II) and 177.89 mg g-1 for Pb(II) was attained at initial metal ion concentration, solution pH, and temperature of 200 mg L-1, 5.0, and 25 °C, respectively. The Langmuir isotherm model best described the equilibrium metal adsorption, indicating that a single layer of Cu(II) or Pb(II) was formed on the surface of the MnO2 adsorbent. The pseudo-second-order model adequately fit the Cu(II) and Pb(II) kinetic data confirming that chemisorption was the rate-limiting step. Thermodynamic studies revealed that Cu(II) or Pb(II) adsorption onto MnO2 was spontaneous, endothermic, and had increased randomness. Overall, the use of MnO2 prepared from groundwater treatment sludge is an effective, economical, and environmentally sustainable substitute to expensive reagents for toxic metal ion removal from water matrices.
