Abstract
Viscous emulsions with poor fluidity and high adhesion are extremely difficult to separate. Herein, high-flux separation of viscous emulsions is realized by developing structural engineered collagen fibers (CFs)-based composite membrane that featured 3D conductive hierarchical fiber structure with the spaced carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and activated carbon (AC) serving as conductive network and competitive adsorption-based demulsifying sites, respectively. The as-designed membrane structure boosts fast spreading of emulsion droplets on membrane surface aided by the synergistic effect of joule heat in situ generated by the spaced CNFs and the capillary effect derived from CFs, which guarantees the full contact of viscous emulsions with the spaced AC for achieving ultra-efficient demulsifying. The permeation of resultant oily filtrate is accelerated by the capillary effect of hierarchically fibrous structured CFs to exhibit fast transport kinetics, therefore accomplishing high-flux separation. The structural engineered membrane achieves high-performance separation toward different viscous emulsions (55.4-123.7 mPa·s) with separation efficiency >99.9% and flux high up to 259 L m-2 h-1 . The investigations provide a novel structural engineering strategy for realizing high-performance separation of viscous emulsions.

Abstract
The complex wastewater containing water-soluble dyes and water-insoluble oils has given rise to significant environmental concerns that demand urgent remediation. Herein, a novel "smart" multifunctional sponge (ZIF-8@PMS) stepwise decorated with ZIF-8 nanoparticles and CO2-responsive copolymer (poly(2-(diethylamino) ethyl methacrylate-co-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl acrylate-co-stearyl methacrylate) was successfully prepared for CO2 controllable oil/water separation and dyes removal. The results revealed that the sponge coated with CO2-responsive copolymer for three cycles (ZIF-8@PMS-3) exhibited optimal comprehensive properties. The ZIF-8@PMS-3 had excellent compressive-resilient characteristics and chemical stability. As expected, it displayed tunable wettability and charged state under the regulation of CO2. Based on these features, ZIF-8@PMS-3 presented highly efficient removal of oil and dyes, even for the dye-containing oil/water emulsions, via a synergistic combination of adsorption and separation methods. The adsorption capacity for oil and various organic solvents ranged from 21.3 to 50 g g-1. The maximum adsorption capacities toward anionic dyes: methyl orange with 1205.89 mg g-1 and methyl blue with 880.00 mg g-1 in the presence of CO2 through electrostatic interaction. In the absence of CO2, it achieved maximum adsorption capacities for cationic dyes, including malachite green with 1246.15 mg g-1 and rhodamine B with 203 mg g-1, primarily driven by π-π interactions. According to distinct adsorption mechanisms, ZIF-8@PMS-3 could selectively adsorb either anionic or cationic dyes by exploiting CO2 as a trigger. Furthermore, the separation efficiencies for both types of oil/water emulsions surpassed 99.9%, with respective fluxes of 1566.99 L m-2 h-1 (water-in-oil emulsion) and 310.37 L m-2 h-1 (oil-in-water emulsion). Additionally, the as-prepared sponges exhibited remarkable antibacterial properties and exceptional recyclability. Therefore, the ZIF-8@PMS-3 holds substantial promise for potential applications in practical industrial wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Oil contamination has been an increasingly concerned environmental issue due to the large quantity of oily wastewater discharged by the industry. The extreme wettability-enabled single-channel separation strategy guarantees efficient separation of oil pollutant from wastewater. However, the ultra-high selective permeability forces the intercepted oil pollutant to form a blocking layer, which weakens the separation capability and slows the kinetics of permeable phase. As a consequence, the single-channel separation strategy fails to maintain a stable flux for a long-term separation process. Herein, we reported a brand-new water-oil dual-channels strategy for accomplishing an ultra-stable long-term separation of emulsified oil pollutant from oil-in-water nano-emulsion by engineering two drastically opposite extreme wettabilities (i.e. superhydrophilicity and superhydrophobicity) to build the water-oil dual-channels. The strategy established the superwetting transport channels to permit water and oil pollutant to permeate through their own channel. In this way, the generation of intercepted oil pollutant was prevented, which guaranteed an exceptional long-lasting (20 h) anti-fouling performance for successful achievement of an ultra-stable separation of oil contamination from oil-in-water nano-emulsion with high flux retention and high separation efficiency. Therefore, our investigations provided a new route for realizing ultra-stable long-term separation of emulsified oil pollutant from wastewater.

Controllably Adjusting the Hydrophobicity of Collagen Fibers for Enhancing the Adsorption Rate, Retention Capacity, and Separation Performance of Flavonoid Aglycones. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2023; 15:18516-18527.

Abstract
Collagen fibers (CFs) were previously used as packing materials for the separation of flavonoids based on hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interactions. However, as for flavonoid aglycones, CFs presented unsatisfactory adsorption capacity and separation efficiency due to the fact that they include limited hydroxyls and phenyls. In order to improve the adsorption capacity and separation efficiency, the hydrophobic modification strategy was employed in this research to enhance the hydrophobic interaction of CF with flavonoid aglycones by using silane coupling agents with different alkyl chains (isobutyl, octyl, and dodecyl). FT-IR analysis, DSC, TG, SEM, EDS mapping, water contact angle, and absorption time of solvent proved the successful grafting of alkyl chains on the CF without disturbing its special fiber structure, leading to the significantly enhanced hydrophobicity of the CF. The dynamic adsorption and elution behavior of kaempferol and quercetin (the typical flavonoid aglycones) on the hydrophobic CF showed that the adsorption rate and retention rate were largely increased in comparison with the CF without modification. Molecular dynamic simulations indicated that the CF grafted with isobutyls could interact with flavonoid aglycones through the highest synergetic effect of hydrophobic and hydrogen bond interactions, which exhibited the strongest retention to flavonoid aglycones. On further increasing the alkyl length (octyl and dodecyl), the hydrophobic interaction was further enhanced, but the hydrogen bonds were significantly weakened by steric hindrance, which showed that the retention to flavonoid aglycones was appropriately increased but without causing peak tailing. In the column separation of kaempferol and quercetin, the CF with hydrophobic modification presented a greater separation efficiency, with the purity of kaempferol increased from 71.99 to 86.57-97.50% and the purity of quercetin increased from 82.69 to 88.07-99.37%, which was much better than that of polyamide and close to that of sephadex LH 20. Therefore, the hydrophobicity of the CF could be controllably adjusted to enhance the adsorption rate and retention capacity, specifically improving the separation efficiency of flavonoid aglycones.

Abstract
Resource utilization of distiller's grains (DGs) is crucial for realizing sustainable development of Baijiu industry. In the prevent investigation, a low-cost activated biochar (DGABC) suitable for removing turbidity from low-alcohol Baijiu was prepared by the controlled pyrolysis of DGs, followed by steam activation. The as-prepared biochar featured a large specific surface area (320-480 m2/g) and pore volume (0.45-0.47 cm3/g). Importantly, the DGABC possessed remarkable exterior hydrophily and interior lipophilicity, which guaranteed its good dispersion in alcohol-water system as well as an efficient adsorption to the components with long lipophilic chain. As a result, the DGABC could efficiently remove the turbidity in low-alcohol Baijiu, which was mainly derived from the long lipophilic chain components, such as ethyl palmitate. Meanwhile, most of the flavor esters that had a shorter lipophilic chain and lower hydrophobicity were well kept in the low-alcohol Baijiu. Therefore, this work provided a promising strategy for DGs recycling in Baijiu industry.

Abstract
Collagen presents a well-organized hierarchical multilevel structure. Microfibers, fibers, and fiber bundles are the aggregates of natural collagen; which achieve an ideal balance of mechanical strength and toughness at the mesoscopic scale for biological tissue. These mesostructured aggregates of collagen isolated from biological tissues retain these inherent organizational features to enable their use as building blocks for constructing new collagen materials with ideal mechanical performance, thermal and dimensional stability. This strategy is distinct from the more common bottom-up or molecular-level design and assembly approach to generating collagen materials. The present review introduces the hierarchical structure of biological collagen with a focus on mesostructural features. Isolation strategies for these collagen aggregates (CAs) are summarized. Recent progress in the use of these mesostructural components for the construction of new collagen materials with emerging applications is reviewed, including in catalysis, environmental applications, biomedicine, food packaging, electrical energy storage, and flexible sensors. Finally, challenges and prospects are assessed for controllable production of CAs as well as material designs.

Abstract
Separation plays a critical role in a broad range of industrial applications. Developing advanced separation materials is of great significance for the future development of separation technology. Collagen fibers (CFs), the typical structural proteins, exhibit unique structural hierarchy, amphiphilic wettability, and versatile chemical reactivity. These distinctive properties provide infinite possibilities for the rational design of advanced separation materials. During the past 2 decades, many progressive achievements in the development of CFs-derived advanced separation materials have been witnessed already. Herein, the CFs-based separation materials are focused on and the recent progresses in this topic are reviewed. CFs widely existing in animal skins display unique hierarchically fibrous structure, amphiphilicity-enabled surface wetting behaviors, multi-functionality guaranteed covalent/non-covalent reaction versatility. These outstanding merits of CFs bring great opportunities for realizing rational design of a variety of advanced separation materials that were capable of achieving high-performance separations to diverse specific targets, including oily pollutants, natural products, metal ions, anionic contaminants and proteins, etc. Besides, the important issues for the further development of CFs-based advanced separation materials are also discussed.

Abstract
Efficient sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) are important for treating organic contaminants of industrial wastewater. To achieve this goal, tannic acid (TA)-modified skin collagen fibers (CFs) were prepared for the enhanced immobilization of Fe3+ based on multiple complexation interactions, resulting in a heterogeneous catalyst with more catalytic sites (defined as TA-Fe-CFs) for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS). During the removal of an organic dye (rhodamine B, RhB) from water, the hierarchical TA-Fe-CFs exhibited excellent adsorption capacity at the early stage before the introduction of PMS, which can be ascribed to the π-π interaction between TA and aromatic RhB. Such improved mass transfer of target contaminants into the catalytic support was proved to be beneficial for improving the utilization efficiency of sulfate radicals in subsequent SR-AOPs. After introducing PMS, the reductive TA moieties of the heterogeneous catalyst were able to accelerate the redox cycle of Fe3+/Fe2+ in Fenton reactions, facilitating the activation of PMS to generate sulfate radicals for the degradation of organic RhB.

Abstract
Membrane separation is a promising approach for the remediation of oil contamination in water. High-flux separation of membrane relies on the rational design of ultrathin active layer to significantly reduce mass transfer distance for achieving high separation flux, while the ultrathin active layer is usually fragile with poor mechanical strength, which has to be supported on a support. Herein, we employed collagen fiber membrane (CFM) as multi-functional support for the in-situ growth of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) layer by electrospinning to prepare the high-performance PAN/CFM composite membrane. Due to the amphiphilic nature and strong capillary effect, CFM played the role as multi-functional support to provide separation effectiveness and boosted separation flux. The PAN/CFM composite membrane enabled ultrahigh separation flux (e.g., 51751.59 L m-2 h-1 bar-1) to a variety of oil-in-water emulsion, which was one order of magnitude higher than that of commercial polyethersulfone membrane and 1.86-fold to that of cellulose acetate membrane. Furthermore, the PAN/CFM composite membrane retained high separation flux (e.g., 11046.97 L m-2 h-1 bar-1) during the 5th separation cycle, providing appreciable anti-fouling capability. Therefore, our findings provided a promising way to effectively resolve the problem of oil contamination in water.

Abstract
AbstractGamma rays is widely used in modern science and technology, but it may cause health damage to practitioners. In the present study, natural composites based on leather and high-Z elements (atomic number ≥ 56) were fabricated and used as gamma rays shielding materials. These shielding materials were prepared by coating rare earth nanoparticles (Er2O3 or La2O3) onto the surface of natural leather, which was first impregnated with Bi3+ and Ba2+. Results show that the attenuation efficiency of the prepared Er1.31Bi5.46-NL (1.31 and 5.46 mmol cm−3 loaded elements) with thickness of 3.2 mm was 61.57% for incident rays at 121.78 keV (152Eu) and reached 96.4% in the incident of 59.5 keV (241Am), which is comparable to that of 0.25-mm lead plate (54.54 mmol cm−3). In addition, these natural-leather-based shielding materials exhibited low density (approximately 1/10 of Pb), high strength and wearable behaviors.
