Peroxymonosulfate activated by natural porphyrin derivatives for rapid degradation of organic pollutants via singlet oxygen and high-valent iron-oxo species. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 331:138783. [PMID: 37119928 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138783] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
The activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) by sodium ferric chlorophyllin (SFC), a natural porphyrin derivative extracted from chlorophyll-rich substances, was systematically investigated for facile degradation of bisphenol A (BPA). SFC/PMS is capable of degrading 97.5% of BPA in the first 10 min with the initial BPA concentration of 20 mg/L and pH = 3, whereas conventional Fe2+/PMS could only remove 22.6% of BPA under identical conditions. It demonstrates a prominent flexibility to a broad pH range of 3-11 with complete pollutant degradation. A remarkable tolerance toward concomitant high concentration of inorganic anions (100 mM) was also observed, among which (bi)carbonates can even accelerate the degradation. The nonradical oxidation species, including high-valent iron-oxo porphyrin species and 1O2, are identified as dominant species. Particularly, the generation and participation of 1O2 in the reaction is evidenced by experimental and theoretical methods, which is vastly different from the previous study. The specific activation mechanism is unveiled by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. The results shed light on effective PMS activation by iron (III) porphyrin and the proposed natural porphyrin derivative would be a promising candidate for efficient abatement of recalcitrant pollutants toward complicated aqueous media in wastewater treatment.

Rasheed T. Water stable MOFs as emerging class of porous materials for potential environmental applications. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 313:137607. [PMID: 36566790 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.137607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are extensively recognized for their wide applications in a variety of fields such as water purification, adsorption, sensing, catalysis and drug delivery. The fundamental characteristics of the majority of MOFs, such as their structure and shape, are known to be sensitively impacted by water or moisture. As a result, a thorough evaluation of the stability of MOFs in respect to factors linked to these property changes is required. It is quite rare for MOFs in their early stages to have strong water-stability, which is necessary for the commercialization and development of wider applications of this interesting material. Also, numerous applications in presence of water have progressed considerably as a "proof of concept" stage in the past and a growing number of water-stable MOFs (WSMOFs) have been discovered in recent years. This review discusses the variables and processes that affect the aqueous stability of several MOFs, including imidazolate and carboxylate frameworks. Accordingly, this article will assist researchers in accurately evaluating how water affects the stability of MOFs so that effective techniques can be identified for the advancement of water-stable metal-organic frameworks (WSMOFs) and for their effective applications toward a variety of fields.

Abstract
Diclofenac (DCF) as a non-steroidal pharmaceutical has been detected in aquatic samples more than other compounds due to its high consumption and limited biodegradability. In this study, ultrasound waves were applied along with an advanced nano-Fenton process (US/ANF) to remove DCF, and subsequently, the synergistic effect was determined. Before that, the efficiency of the US and ANF processes was separately studied. The central composite design was used as one of the most applicable responses surface method techniques to determine the main and interactive effect of the factors influencing DCF removal efficiency in US/ANF. The mean DCF removal efficiency under different operational conditions and at the time of 1-10 min was obtained to be about 4%, 83%, and 95% for the US, ANF, and US/ANF, respectively. Quadratic regression equations for two frequencies of US were developed using multiple regression analysis involving main, quadratic, and interaction effects. The optimum condition for DCF removal was obtained at time of 8.17 min, H/F of 10.5 and DCF concentration of 10.12 at 130 kHz US frequency. The synergy index values showed a slight synergistic effect for US/ANF (1.1). Although the synergistic effect of US/ANF is not very remarkable, it can be considered as a quick and efficient process for the removal of DCF from wastewater with a significant amount of mineralization.

Abstract
Previously synthesized N-butyrylated hyaluronic acid (BHA) provides anti-inflammatory effects in rat models of acute gouty arthritis and hyperuricemia. However, the mechanism of action remains to be elucidated. Herein, the anti-inflammatory and antioxidative activities of BHA and the targeted signaling pathways were explored with LPS-induced RAW264.7 and an adjuvant-induced inflammation in a rat model. Results indicated that BHA inhibited the generation of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFα, IL-1β and IL-6, reduced ROS production and down-regulated JAK1-STAT1/3 signaling pathways in LPS-induced RAW264.7. In vivo, BHA alleviated paw and joint swelling, decreased inflammatory cell infiltration in paw tissues, suppressed gene expressions of p38 and p65, down-regulated the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways and reduced protein levels of TNFα, IL-1β and IL-6 in joint tissues of arthritis rats. This study demonstrated the pivotal role of BHA in anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation, suggesting the potential clinical value of BHA in the prevention of inflammatory arthritis and is worthy for development as a new pharmacological treatment.

Abstract
Because the pollutants produced by human activities have destroyed the ecological balance of natural water environment, and caused severe impact on human life safety and environmental security. Hence the task of water environment restoration is imminent. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), structured from organic ligands and inorganic metal ions, are notable for their outstanding crystallinity, diverse structures, large surface areas, adsorption performance, and excellent component tunability. The water stability of MOFs is a key requisite for their possible actual applications in separation, catalysis, adsorption, and other water environment remediation areas because it is necessary to safeguard the integrity of the material structure during utilization. In this article, we comprehensively review state-of-the-art research progress on the promising potential of MOFs as excellent nanomaterials to remove contaminants from the water environment. Firstly, the fundamental characteristics and preparation methods of several typical water-stable MOFs include UiO, MIL, and ZIF are introduced. Then, the removal property and mechanism of heavy metal ions, radionuclide contaminants, drugs, and organic dyes by different MOFs were compared. Finally, the application prospect of MOFs in pollutant remediation prospected. In this review, the synthesis methods and application in water pollutant removal are explored, which provide ways toward the effective use of water-stable MOFs in materials design and environmental remediation.

High-valent iron-oxo species on pyridine-containing MWCNTs generated in a solar-induced H 2O 2 activation system for the removal of antimicrobials. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 273:129545.

Abstract
The overuse of antimicrobials has resulted in serious damage to the ecosystem and human health. Therefore, the development of an efficient, stable, and reusable catalyst to eliminate antimicrobials under mild conditions is highly desired. Drawing inspiration from the metabolism of drugs by the enzymes in the human body, such as heme catalase, we developed a simulated enzyme catalyst, perchloride iron phthalocyanine (FePcCl16), immobilized on pyridine-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (FePcCl16-Py-MWCNTs). In the catalyst, FePcCl16 worked as the active site, and the axial fifth ligand, 4-aminopyridine, was introduced to cleave H2O2 heterolytically. Inspired by the reaction mechanism of heme catalase and H2O2, the catalytic system was designed based on FePcCl16-Py-MWCNTs for oxidizing 4-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol (PCMX) by H2O2 activation. The results showed that the catalytic activity of the system was significantly increased under simulated solar light irradiation, which can promote electron transfer for heterolytic cleavage of H2O2. The enzyme-like catalyst achieved much higher catalytic activity than the Fenton reaction when the pH was close to neutral. It turned out that the main active species was high-valent iron-oxo (Fe(Ⅳ) = O) rather than hydroxyl radial (•OH) or superoxide radical (•O2-), different from most mechanisms. Ultraperformance liquid chromatography-high-definition mass spectrometry showed that the substrate was degraded to small molecule acids by Fe(Ⅳ) = O active species and further mineralization indicated by total organic carbon. The catalytic system exhibited highly efficient, stable, recyclable catalytic performance under mild conditions and did not cause secondary pollution to the environment. This study of a simulated enzyme catalytic system offers important insight into sewage treatment.

Abstract
Among the most used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ketoprofen (KTF) assumes an important position. Nevertheless, its ecotoxicological effects in non-target organisms are poorly characterized, despite its use and frequency of occurrence in aquatic matrices. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the possible toxicological effects of KTF contamination, in two freshwater species, Lemna minor and Daphnia magna, by measuring biochemical, physiological and population parameters. To attain this objective, both species were exposed to KTF at the same concentrations (0, 0.24, 1.2, 6 and 30 μg/L). L. minor plants were exposed during 4 d to these levels of KTF, and the enzymatic activity (catalase (CAT), glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) and carbonic anhydrase (CA)), and pigments content (chlorophylls a, b and total and carotenoids) were analyzed to evaluate the toxicity of this drug. D. magna was acutely and chronically exposed to KTF, and enzymatic activities (CAT, GSTs and cyclooxygenase (COX)), the feeding rates, and reproduction traits were assessed. In L.minor, KTF provoked alterations in all enzyme activities, however, it was not capable of causing any alteration in any pigment levels. On the other hand, KTF also provoked alterations in all enzymatic activities in D. magna, but did not affect feeding rates and life-history parameters. In conclusion, exposure to KTF, provoked biochemical alterations in both species. However, these alterations were not reflected into deleterious effects on physiological and populational traits of L. minor and D. magna.

Abstract
Naproxen, a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, has been detected in many environmental matrixes and is regarded as an emerging pollutant. Sulfate radical (SO4·-) -based advanced oxidation processes have attracted wide attention due to their high efficiency and applicability in the removal of emerging contaminants. In this study, CuFe2O4 was used as an efficient catalyst to activate peroxymonosulfate to oxidize naproxen. The results suggested that 92.3% of naproxen was degraded and 50.3% total organic carbon was removed in 60 min in the presence of 0.3 g·L-1 CuFe2O4 and 2 mM peroxymonosulfate. This degradation system showed strong adaptability in a wide pH range from 4.0 to 10.0. Free radical scavenger experiments and electron spin resonance analysis indicated that 1O2, ·OH, and SO4·- are the main active species. Finally, the potential degradation pathways of naproxen were proposed by detecting and analyzing the degradation products with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry. The results of this study suggest that the CuFe2O4-activated peroxymonosulfate system is a promising technology for the removal of naproxen from natural water.

[PMID: 31923683 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.136327] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2019] [Revised: 12/22/2019] [Accepted: 12/23/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Ibuprofen (IBU) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) that is used in various conditions. The prescriptions and the global consumption of this drug are very high and its annual production oscillates in millions of tons, this generates that the IBU is present in many waterbodies because it is discharged through the municipal, hospital and industrial effluents. For the above, the purpose of this work was to determine if IBU at environmentally relevant concentrations was capable of inducing alterations to embryonic development, teratogenic effects and oxidative stress in oocytes and embryos of Cyprinus carpio. Oocytes of common carp were exposed to IBU concentrations between 1.5 and 11.5 μg L-1 (environmentally relevant). LC50 and EC50 of malformations were determined to calculate the teratogenic index (TI). Also, main alterations to embryonic development and teratogenic effects were evaluated. Oxidative stress was evaluated by determining biomarkers of cellular oxidation and antioxidation using the same concentrations at 72 and 96 hpf in embryos of Cyprinus carpio. The results showed a LC50 of 4.17 μg L-1, EC50 of 1.39 μg L-1 and TI of 3.0. The main embryonic development disorders and teratogenic effects were delayed hatching, hypopigmentation, pericardial edema, yolk deformation, and developmental delay. Biomarkers of cellular oxidation and antioxidants were increased with respect to the control in a concentration-dependent manner. The results of the study allow us to conclude that IBU at environmentally relevant concentrations is capable of inducing embryotoxicity and teratogenicity in a fish of commercial interest like Cyprinus carpio.

Talanta 2020; 213:120813. [PMID: 32200918 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2020.120813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2019] [Revised: 02/04/2020] [Accepted: 02/07/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Accurate sensitive analysis of drug ingredient substances in biological, pharmaceutical and environmental samples and removal of drug ingredient substances in environmental samples owngreat importance for sustaining viability. The realization of these processes using a single material offers significant advantages in terms of cost, time and ease of use. In this study, TiO2 nanoparticles and C-Nanofibers modified magnetic Fe3O4 nanospheres (TiO2@Fe3O4@C-NFs) synthesized as a multifunctional material employing a simple hydrothermal synthesis method. This innovative material was exploited in the magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) method for the preconcentration of ibuprofen and photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and azo dye. To our knowledge, no studies have been previously conducted using the same material as magnetic solid-phase extraction adsorbent and magnetically separable photocatalyst. The characterization of TiO2@Fe3O4@C-NFs was carried out by XRD, FE-SEM, EDX and Raman techniques. The main analytical parameters affecting MSPE performance of ibuprofen such as pH, sorbent amount eluent type and volume and sample volume were optimized. The optimum values of the method were determined at the following parameters: pH 4.0, adsorbent amount 150 mg and eluent 2 mL of acetone. Ibuprofen analysis after MSPE was carried out using a high-performance liquid chromatography diode array detection system (HPLC-DAD). The photocatalytic degradation efficiencies of TiO2@Fe3O4@C-NF hybrid material for probe-analytes reached 80-100% and the complete degradation attained within the range of 8-125 min under UV irradiation. Simple preparation, practical isolation from solutions, high efficiency, reproducibility, and sustainability are the main advantages of the TiO2@Fe3O4@C-NFs for MSPE and photocatalytic degradation applications.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the changes caused by the administration of ketoprofen to albino NMRI mice on some hematological, biochemical, and structural parameters. For this purpose, the mice were divided into two lots: a control batch and an experimental batch to which ketoprofen was administered subcutaneously at a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight per day for 7 days. A decrease in erythrocyte number and hemoglobin was observed altogether with the increase in white blood cells. Blood biochemistry indicates increased blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. Enzyme values (AST, ALT, and ALP) show a significant increase. Hepatic pathology reveals the enlargement of sinusoidal capillaries, the presence of leukocyte infiltrates associated with necrosis zones.

Abstract
Artificial sweeteners (ASs) have been frequently detected in aquatic environment and are of emerging concern due to their environmental persistence, acesulfame (ACE) and sucralose (SUC) are two ASs that are difficult to remove. The ultraviolet/persulfate (UV/PS) advanced oxidation process has been proven to remove ASs in real wastewater effectively. In this study, radical-based degradation kinetic model, pathways and toxicity evaluation of ASs by UV/PS process were explored. ACE and SUC were effectively removed by UV/PS process, and UV photolysis, hydroxyl radicals (HO∙) and sulfate radicals (SO4∙-) contributes the degradation of ASs. A kinetic prediction model for ASs degradation was established based on the second-order rate constants with HO∙ and SO4∙-, and the steady state concentrations of HO∙ and SO4∙- were calculated through the degradations of two reference compounds. The kinetic model could predict the degradation process of ASs in five real wastewaters effluents. Furthermore, two models based on the kinetic and the water matrices parameters for ASs degradation in wastewater were compared. Finally, the tentative pathways of ASs degradations by UV/PS were proposed. Also, toxicity evaluation showed that ASs after UV/PS treatment enhanced the toxicity on C. carpio liver, and prolongation of treatment time and recovery in fresh water can reduce the toxicity on C. carpio.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2019; 683:80-88. [PMID: 31136967 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.05.216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2019] [Revised: 05/14/2019] [Accepted: 05/14/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Diclofenac (DCF), as an emerging contaminant in aquatic environments, has sparked increasing concerns about its impact on the environment. Nitrification in wastewater treatment processing has removed DCF to a large extent. However, the removal characteristics and mechanisms of DCF in the nitrification process are still poorly understood. In this study, enriched nitrifying sludge was used to investigate the transformation of DCF during the nitrification process. Elimination of DCF caused by volatilization, hydrolyzation and adsorption was limited. Abiotic nitration removal was confirmed as significant in enriched nitrifying sludge at a low pH and high nitrite concentration. Free nitrite acid was proposed as the reaction species participating in the DCF transformation process, and a regression equation was developed to predict the contribution of abiotic nitration on DCF removal in enriched nitrifying sludge. By slowly and continuously adding an ammonia stock solution and controlling the pH, we avoided the effect of abiotic nitration removal, and DCF biodegradation was positively correlated to specific ammonium oxidation rates (SAORs). The removal of DCF fit the first order kinetic model (R2 = 0.8285, p < 0.05) with an SAOR of 0.25 mg NH4+-N/(gMLSS·min). The high removal rate constant of k (0.1286 L/(gMLSS·h)) and short half-life (2.48 h) revealed the strong capability of nitrifying bacteria to transform DCF. Nine DCF transformation products were identified and three of them were quantified in the transformation process. The formation of kinetic profile 4-OH-DCF, 5-OH-DCF and DCF-Benzoic acid (DCF-BA) implied that hydroxylation may be the first reaction of DCF and DCF-BA may be a terminal product that resists further degradation. The postulated reactions concerning the transformation of DCF were hydroxylation, lactam formation and oxidation. Accordingly, a detailed degradation pathway was presented.
