Abstract
Polysaccharides that are naturally sourced have enormous promise as wound dressings, due to their wider availability and reasonable cost and good biocompatibility. Furthermore, nanosilver extensively applied in wound treatment is attributed to its broad spectrum of antimicrobial effects and lesser drug resistance. Consequently, wound dressings in corporating nanosilver have attracted wide-scale interest in wound healing, and nanosilver-functionalized polysaccharide-based wound dressings present an affordable option for healing of chronic wounds. This review encompasses preparation methods, classification, and antibacterial performances of nanosilver wound dressings. The prospective research arenas of nanosilver-based wound polysaccharide dressings are also elaborated. The review attempts to include a summary of the most recent advancements in silver nanotechnology as well as guidance for the investigation of nanosilver-functionalized polysaccharide-based wound dressings.

Recovering the Soybean Hulls after Peroxidase Extraction and Their Application as Adsorbent for Metal Ions and Dyes. ADSORPT SCI TECHNOL 2023.

Abstract
This study is aimed at extending the soybean hulls’ lifetime by their utilization as an adsorbent for metal ions (Cd2+ and Cu2+) and dyes (Reactive Yellow 39 (RY 39) and Acid Blue 225 (AB 225)). ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, FE-SEM microscopy, and zeta potential measurements were used for adsorbent characterization. The effect of the solution’s pH, peroxidase extraction, adsorbent particle size, contact time, the pollutant’s initial concentration, and temperature on the soybean hulls’ adsorption potential was studied. Before peroxidase extraction, soybean hulls were capable of removing 72% Cd2+, 71% Cu2+ (at a pH of 5.00) or 81% RY 39, and 73% AB 225 (at a pH of 3.00). For further experiments, soybean hulls without peroxidase were used for several reasons: (1) due to their observed higher metal ion removal, (2) in order to reduce the waste disposal cost after the peroxidase (usually used for wastewater decolorization) extraction, and (3) since the soybean hulls without peroxidase possessed significantly lower secondary pollution than those with peroxidase. Cd2+ and Cu2+ removal was slightly increased when the smaller adsorbent fraction (710-1000 μm) was used, while the adsorbent particle size did not have an impact on dye removal. After 30 min of contact time, 92% and 88% of RY 39 and AB 225 were removed, respectively, while after the same contact time, 80% and 69% of Cd2+ and Cu2+ were removed, respectively. Adsorption of all tested pollutants follows a pseudo-second-order reaction through the fast adsorption, intraparticle diffusion, and final equilibrium stage. The maximal adsorption capacities determined by the Langmuir model were 21.10, 20.54, 16.54, and 17.23 mg/g for Cd2+, Cu2+, RY 39, and AB 225, respectively. Calculated thermodynamic parameters suggested that the adsorption of all pollutants is spontaneous and of endothermic character. Moreover, different binary mixtures were prepared, and the competitive adsorptions revealed that the soybean hulls are the most efficient adsorbent for the mixture of AB 225 and Cu2+. The findings of this study contribute to the soybean hulls’ recovery after the peroxidase extraction and bring them into the circular economy concept.

Biomolecules 2021; 11:904. [PMID: 34204500 PMCID: PMC8235338 DOI: 10.3390/biom11060904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2021] [Revised: 06/07/2021] [Accepted: 06/15/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
In the present study, soybean peroxidase (SBP) was covalently immobilized onto two functionalized photocatalytic supports (TiO2 and ZnO) to create novel hybrid biocatalysts (TiO2-SBP and ZnO-SBP). Immobilization caused a slight shift in the pH optima of SBP activity (pH 5.0 to 4.0), whereas the free and TiO2-immobilized SBP showed similar thermal stability profiles. The newly developed hybrid biocatalysts were used for the degradation of 21 emerging pollutants in the presence and absence of 1-hydroxy benzotriazole (HOBT) as a redox mediator. Notably, all the tested pollutants were not equally degraded by the SBP treatment and some of the tested pollutants were either partially degraded or appeared to be recalcitrant to enzymatic degradation. The presence of HOBT enhanced the degradation of the pollutants, while it also inhibited the degradation of some contaminants. Interestingly, TiO2 and ZnO-immobilized SBP displayed better degradation efficiency of a few emerging pollutants than the free enzyme. Furthermore, a combined enzyme-chemical oxidation remediation strategy was employed to degrade two recalcitrant pollutants, which suggest a novel application of these novel hybrid peroxidase-photocatalysts. Lastly, the reusability profile indicated that the TiO2-SBP hybrid biocatalyst retained up to 95% degradation efficiency of a model pollutant (2-mercaptobenzothiazole) after four consecutive degradation cycles.

Anaerobic biodegradation of soybean-process wastewater: Operation strategy and sludge bed characteristics of a high-performance Spiral Symmetric Stream Anaerobic Bioreactor. WATER RESEARCH 2021; 197:117095. [PMID: 33862392 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2021.117095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2020] [Revised: 03/22/2021] [Accepted: 03/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
A 300m3/d demonstration project of soybean-process wastewater has been established recently with a Spiral Symmetric Stream Anaerobic Bioreactor (SSSAB) as the core. In order to obtain the optimal operation strategy for a full-scale SSSAB and to make it run efficiently and stably in a demonstration project, a Pilot-scale SSSAB (P-SSSAB, effective volume 100 L) was performed for the treatment of soybean-process wastewater over 216 days. The volumetric load rate (VLR) range of the P-SSSAB was 0.32~27.17 kg COD/(m3·d), where the highest VLR [27.17 kg COD/(m3·d)] was 2.01 times to the highest value [13.5 kg COD/(m3·d)] reported. The pH and VFA/ALK of the effluent from the P-SSSAB were in the range of 6.9 up to 9.2 and 0.03 up to 0.17, respectively. The methane yield of the P-SSSAB increased from 0.03 m3/kg COD to 0.47 m3/kg COD, which was 3.36 times to the maximum value (0.14 m3/kg COD) reported. To meet the influent requirement of the aerobic biological treatment in demonstration project (influent COD ≤ 1.5 g/L), the maximum VLR of SSSAB was optimal at about 22 kg COD/(m3·d). By analyzing the sludge bed characteristics of the P-SSSAB, it was obvious that zone I (the bottom of the bed) was the major contributor of the COD removal, while zone III (the upper part of the bed) was the major contributor for the NH4+-N increase. The anaerobic granular sludge (AGS) in the bed showed a good granulation. The average MLVSS/MLSS value in sludge bed was about 0.7, and PN/PS in TB-EPS (zone I, II and III) increased to 6.830, 4.257, and 3.747, respectively. SMA and coenzyme F420 values of zone III were the maximum [666.35 ml CH4/(g VSS·d) and 0.690 mol/g VSS, respectively]. According to the analysis obtained from the 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing, the microbial community in the AGS had been more specific to the soybean-process wastewater since the bacteria Firmicutes were increased. The relative abundance of microbe which perform direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) for the syntrophic degradation of VFAs and production of the methane has been increased significantly, such as the bacteria Syntrophomonas and archaea Methanosaeta.

Lignocellulose Biomass as a Multifunctional Tool for Sustainable Catalysis and Chemicals: An Overview. Catalysts 2021.

Abstract
Today, the theme of environmental preservation plays an important role within the activities of the scientific community and influences the choices of politics and the common population. In this context, the use of non-fossil substances should be promoted for different reasons: to avoid the depletion and damage of the areas involved in the fossil fuel extraction, decrease the impact of emissions/by-products related to the industrial transformation of fossil-based products and possibly exploit residual biomasses as sources of carbon. This latter aspect also can be viewed as a way to revalorize lignocellulose waste, generally destined to dump as putrescible matter or to be incinerated. In this review, we are aiming to present a concise overview of the multiple functions of lignocellulose biomass in the broad field of catalysis for a sustainable development. The originality of the approach is considering the lignocellulose-derived matter in three different aspects: (i) as a precursor to convert into platform molecules, (ii) as an active material (i.e., humic-like substances as photosensitizers) and (iii) as a green support for catalytic applications. We find that this perspective can widen the awareness level of scientists involved in the catalysis field for the exploitation of residual biomass as a valuable and complementary resource.
