[PMID: 39104553 PMCID: PMC11298862 DOI: 10.1016/j.ese.2024.100449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, there has been significant interest in photocatalytic technologies utilizing semiconductors and photosensitizers responsive to solar light, owing to their potential for energy and environmental applications. Current efforts are focused on enhancing existing photocatalysts and developing new ones tailored for environmental uses. Anthraquinones (AQs) serve as redox-active electron transfer mediators and photochemically active organic photosensitizers, effectively addressing common issues such as low light utilization and carrier separation efficiency found in conventional semiconductors. AQs offer advantages such as abundant raw materials, controlled preparation, excellent electron transfer capabilities, and photosensitivity, with applications spanning the energy, medical, and environmental sectors. Despite their utility, comprehensive reviews on AQs-based photocatalytic systems in environmental contexts are lacking. In this review, we thoroughly describe the photochemical properties of AQs and their potential applications in photocatalysis, particularly in addressing key environmental challenges like clean energy production, antibacterial action, and pollutant degradation. However, AQs face limitations in practical photocatalytic applications due to their low electrical conductivity and solubility-related secondary contamination. To mitigate these issues, the design and synthesis of graphene-immobilized AQs are highlighted as a solution to enhance practical photocatalytic applications. Additionally, future research directions are proposed to deepen the understanding of AQs' theoretical mechanisms and to provide practical applications for wastewater treatment. This review aims to facilitate mechanistic studies and practical applications of AQs-based photocatalytic technologies and to improve understanding of these technologies.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 904:167001. [PMID: 37704155 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167001] [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: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/09/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
As a toxic element of global concern, the elevated concentration of antimony (Sb) in the environment has attracted increasing attention. Microorganisms have been reported as important driving forces for Sb transformation. Iron (Fe) is the most important metal associated element of Sb, however, how Fe-bearing minerals affect the biological transformation of Sb is still unclear. In this study, the effects of Fe-bearing minerals on biological Sb(V) reduction were investigated by employing a marine Shewanella sp. CNZ-1 (CNZ-1). Our results showed that the presence of hematite, magnetite and ferrihydrite (1 g/L) resulted in a decrease in Sb(III) concentration of ~19-31 % compared to the Fe(III)-minerals free system. The calculated Sb(V) reduction rates are 0.0256 (R2 0.71), 0.0389 (R2 0.87), 0.0299 (R2 0.96) and 0.0428 (R2 0.95) h-1 in the hematite-, magnetite-, ferrihydrite-supplemented and Fe(III)-minerals free systems, respectively. The cube-shaped Sb2O3 was characterized as a reductive product by using XRD, XPS, FTIR, TG and SEM approaches. Differential proteomic analysis showed that flagellar protein, cytochrome c, electron transfer flavoprotein, nitrate reductase and polysulfide reductase (up-regulation >1.5-fold, p value <0.05) were supposed to be included in the electron transport pathway of Sb(V) reduction by strain CNZ-1, and the key role of nitrate reductases was further highlighted during this reaction process based on the RT-qPCR and confirmatory experiments. Overall, these findings are beneficial to understand the environmental fate of Sb in the presence of Fe-bearing minerals and provide guidance in developing the bacteria/enzyme-mediated control strategy for Sb pollution.

Abstract
The environmental behavior of antimony (Sb) has recently received greater attention due to the increasing global use of Sb in a range of industrial applications. Although present at trace levels in most natural systems, elevated Sb concentrations in aquatic and terrestrial environments may result from anthropogenic activities. The mobility and toxicity of Sb largely depend on its speciation, which is dependent to a large extent on its oxidation state. To a certain extent, our understanding of the environmental behavior of Sb has been informed by studies of the environmental behavior of arsenic (As), as Sb and As have somewhat similar chemical properties. However, recently it has become evident that the speciation of Sb and As, especially in the context of redox reactions, may be fundamentally different. Therefore, it is crucial to study the biogeochemical processes impacting Sb redox transformations to understand the behavior of Sb in natural and engineered environments. Currently, there is a growing body of literature involving the speciation, mobility, toxicity, and remediation of Sb, and several reviews on these general topics are available; however, a comprehensive review focused on Sb environmental redox chemistry is lacking. This paper provides a review of research conducted within the past two decades examining the redox chemistry of Sb in aquatic and terrestrial environments and identifies knowledge gaps that need to be addressed to develop a better understanding of Sb biogeochemistry for improved management of Sb in natural and engineered systems.

Abstract
The searching for efficient and economical redox mediators to promote the treatment of wastewater containing recalcitrant organic compounds is greatly needed. In this study, the redox mediator activities of four different lignite samples to facilitate the bioreduction of nitrobenzene by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 were tested for the first time. The initial nitrobenzene reduction rate was increased by 40.4%-90.3% in the presence of 50 mg/L of different lignite samples. Lignite collected from Xinjiang (XJL) having more oxygenated groups performed better in enhancing nitrobenzene bioreduction. The stimulating effects increased with the increase of lignite dosage (0-200 mg/L) and the decrease of lignite particle size (150-0.1 μm). However, the pristine XJL samples with assorted sizes of particles exhibited better stimulating effects than size-fractionated ones, implying that different-sized XJL particles might have synergetic effects on the bioreduction process. When humic acid or iron was removed from XJL, its promoting effects were decreased, demonstrating the crucial roles of both components in lignite-enhanced nitrobenzene bioreduction. Nitric acid treatment could form more oxygenated moieties on lignite surface, which played vital roles in promoting nitrobenzene bioreduction. The initial nitrobenzene bioreduction rate in the presence of HNO3-treated XJL was 80.8% higher than that obtained with pristine XJL. This study proposed an effective and readily available redox mediator that could be applied to promote the bioreduction of recalcitrant electrophilic pollutants.

Abstract
The authors report that a marine Shewanella sp. CNZ-1 is capable of producing Au NPs under various conditions. Results showed that initial concentration of Au(III), pH values and electron donors affected nucleation of Au NPs by CNZ-1, resulting in different apparent color of the as-obtained bio-Au NPs, which were further characterized by UV-Vis, TEM, XRD, and XPS analyses. Mechanism studies revealed that Au(III) was first reduced to Au(I) and eventually reduced to EPS-coated Au0 NPs. FTIR and FEEM analyses revealed that some amides and humic acid-like matters were involved in the production of bio-Au NPs through CNZ-1 cells. In addition, the authors also found that the catalytic activity of bio-Au NPs for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction could be enhanced by various metal ions (Ca2+ , Cu2+ , Co2+ , Fe2+ , Fe3+ , Ni2+ , Sr2+ , and Cr3+ ) and metal oxides (Fe3 O4 , Al2 O3 , and SiO2 ), which is beneficial for their further practical application. The maximum zero-order rate constant k 1 and first-order rate constant k2 of all metal ions/oxides supplemented systems can reach 99.65 mg/(L. min) and 2.419 min-1 , which are 11.3- and 12.6-fold higher than that of control systems, respectively. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Abstract
Quinone-modified graphene powder is not reusable in bio-treatment systems, and the roles of quinone and graphene during extracellular electron-transfer processes remain unclear. In this study, we prepared anthraquinone-2-sulfonate and reduced graphene-oxide-modified polyurethane foam (AQS-rGO-PUF) and found that AQS-rGO-PUF exhibited higher catalytic performance on Acid Red 18 (AR 18) bio-decolorization compared with AQS-PUF and rGO-PUF. We observed a significant synergistic effect between AQS and rGO in AQS-rGO-PUF-mediated system in the presence of 50 μM AQS and 1.63 mg/L rGO. The synergistic effect was mainly attributed to electron transfer from AQS to rGO either directly or via flavins secreted by strain RQs-106, and ultimately to AR 18, accounting for ∼33.47% of AR 18 removal during AQS-rGO-PUF-mediated decolorization. Additionally, AQS-rGO-PUF exhibited good mechanical properties and maintained its macroporous structure. Furthermore, after eight rounds of experiments using AQS-rGO-PUF, the bio-decolorization efficiency of AR 18 retained >98.18% of its original value. These results indicate that the combination of AQS-rGO-PUF and Shewanella strains show potential efficacy for enhancing the treatment of azo-dye-containing wastewater.

Abstract
Recovery of noble metals using marine bacteria is becoming an attractive research area because the marine microbes can better adapt to unfavorable environment than terrestrial microorganisms. In this study, we first reported that a marine Bacillus sp. GP was capable of producing Pd and Au NPs in the presence of sodium lactate. Ultraviolet visible spectrometer (UV-vis), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses were employed to explain the process and mechanism of Pd(II)/Au(III) reduction through GP. Additionally, we also found that bio-Pd/Au NPs could be used as catalysts in chemical reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). Moreover, the catalytic activity of bio-Pd NPs could be enhanced by Fe3O4, Al2O3 and SiO2, which is beneficial for practical application. The k1 (k2) values of Fe3O4, Al2O3 and SiO2 supplemental systems were approximately 1.28-1.69 (1.15-1.69), 1.42-1.75 (1.53-1.91) and 1.07-1.73 (1.14-1.49) fold, respectively, compared to that of control systems.

Abstract
A new type of convenient, and environmentally friendly, Vanadium (V)-doped Bi2(O,S)3 oxysulfide catalyst with different V contents was successfully synthesized via a simple and facile method. The obtained V-doped Bi2(O,S)3 solid solution catalysts were fully characterized by conventional methods. The catalytic performance of the samples was tested by using the reduction of 2-nitroaniline (2-NA) in aqueous solution. The reduction/decolorization of methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB) was also chosen to evaluate the universality of catalysts. It was observed that the introduction of V can improve the catalytic performance, and 20%V-Bi2(O,S)3 was found to be the optimal V doping concentration for the reduction of 2-NA, MB, and RhB dyes. For comparative purposes, a related V-free Bi2(O, S)3 oxysulfide material was synthesized and tested as the catalyst. The superior activity of V-doped Bi2(O,S)3 over pure Bi2(O,S)3 was ascribed mainly to an increase in active sites of the material and also due to the presence of synergistic effects. The presence of V5+ as found from XPS analysis may interact with Bi atoms and enhancing the catalytic activity of the sample. In the catalytic reduction of 2-NA, MB and RhB, the obtained V-doped Bi2(O,S)3 oxysulfide catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity as compared with other reported catalysts. Furthermore this highly efficient, low-cost and easily reusable V-doped Bi2(O,S)3 catalyst is anticipated to be of great potential in catalysis in the future.
