[PMID: 34998849 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.133538] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2021] [Revised: 12/23/2021] [Accepted: 01/03/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Increasing demand of food and agriculture is leading us towards the increasing use and introduction of pesticides to the environment. The upright increase of pesticides in water and associated adverse effects have become a great point of concern to develop proficient methods for their mitigation from water. Various different methods have been traditionally employed for this purpose. Recently, nanotechnology has turned out to be the field of prodigious interest for this purpose, and various specific methods were developed and employed to remove pesticides from water. In this study, nanotechnological methods such as adsorption and degradation have been thoroughly discussed along with their applications and limitations where different types of nanoparticles, nanocomposites, nanotubes, and nanomembranes have played a vital role. However, in this study the most commonly adopted method of adsorption is considered to be the better technique due to its low cost, efficiency, and ease of operation. The adsorption kinetic models were described to explain the efficiency of the nano-adrsorbants in order to evaluate the mass transfer processes. However, various degradation methodologies including photocatalysis and catalytic reduction have also been elaborated. Numerous robust metal, metal oxide and functionalized magnetic nanomaterials have been emphasized, categorized, and compared for the removal of pesticides from water. Additionally, current challenges faced by researchers and future directions have also been provided.

[PMID: 34945651 PMCID: PMC8702156 DOI: 10.3390/foods10123100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2021] [Revised: 12/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Seaweeds represent a rich source of biologically active compounds with several applications, especially in the food, cosmetics, and medical fields. The beneficial effects of marine compounds on health have been increasingly explored, making them an excellent choice for the design of functional foods. When studying marine compounds, several aspects must be considered: extraction, identification and quantification methods, purification steps, and processes to increase their stability. Advanced green techniques have been used to extract these valuable compounds, and chromatographic methods have been developed to identify and quantify them. However, apart from the beneficial effects of seaweeds for human health, these natural sources of bioactive compounds can also accumulate undesirable toxic elements with potential health risks. Applying purification techniques of extracts from seaweeds may mitigate the amount of excessive toxic components, ensuring healthy and safer products for commercialization. Furthermore, limitations such as stability and bioavailability problems, chemical degradation reactions during storage, and sensitivity to oxidation and photo-oxidation, need to be overcome using, for example, nanoencapsulation techniques. Here we summarize recent advances in all steps of marine products identification and purification and highlight selected human applications, including food and feed applications, cosmetic, human health, and fertilizers, among others.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 391:122222. [PMID: 32062540 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.122222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2019] [Revised: 01/30/2020] [Accepted: 02/01/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to design a versatile and reusable pesticide detection surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate in combination with SERS enhancement and self-cleaning properties. In this paper, we present an inexpensive way to synthesize three-dimensional tilted ZnO micron rods with an Ag hierarchical structure (ZMRs/Ag arrays). Although expensive materials and complex methods were not used, the detection limit of thiram residue was 10-11 M, with a quantitative relationship (R2 = 0.9929) between the thiram concentration and the intensity of the SERS peaks. Additionally, the substrates exhibited fast and efficient photocatalytic activity for the degradation of adsorbed thiram, and the degradation rate in 30 min was close 100 % under visible-light irradiation. The enhancement and photocatalytic mechanism of this substrate were meticulously analyzed in detail. Furthermore, the residues of several mixed pesticides (e.g., thiram and methamidophos compounds) in various juices (such as grape, pear, orange, apple, and cherry juices) were quickly detected using ZMRs/Ag substrates. The main advantages of this substrate are recyclability, stability, selectivity, handiness, and cost-eff ;ectiveness. The substrate can prevent single-use problems associated with conventional SERS substrates and can be applied in pesticide residue and food security.
