Shen D, Song G, Sun X, Fan F, Ding J, Fang Y, Li P. Effect of gluconic acid rinsing on cadmium decontamination from rice protein. J Food Sci 2023. [PMID: 37326347 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16669] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice protein has long been considered a significant threat to human health. In the present study, a costless and effective method based on gluconic acid (GA) rinsing of rice protein was developed to reduce Cd contamination in rice protein. Moreover, the effect of GA on the structural and functional properties of rice protein was evaluated. With liquid-solid ratio of 30 mL/g and oscillation time of 120 min, 96.0% and 93.6% of Cd were eliminated from rice protein-H and rice protein-L, respectively. In addition, the results of scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analyses showed that GA treatment did not significantly change the structural properties of rice protein. However, GA treatment increased foaming properties, water holding capacity, and oil holding capacity of the rice protein, without affecting its further applicability. Thus, the proposed GA rinsing method can be considered a green and efficient strategy to solve the issue brought by Cd residual contamination in rice protein. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Given the advantages of green and efficient agriculture, gluconic acid (GA) has emerged as a powerful strategy for removing the Cd from rice protein. The method developed herein showed great potentials for applications in the manufacture of rice-based products.

Porphyrin COF and its mechanical pressing-prepared carbon fiber hybrid membrane for ratiometric detection, removal and enrichment of Cd 2. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 439:129574. [PMID: 35853339 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129574] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Revised: 06/03/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
A nitrogen (N), oxygen (O)-rich porphyrin-based covalent organic framework (COF), in which interlayer porphyrin molecules are vertically stacked, is prepared and characterized. As-prepared N,O-rich TpTph COF shows a high adsorption capacity for Cd2+ due to the abundant coordination sites. More interesting, it is found that the formation of COF enlarges the porphyrin ring center space, thus facilitating the Cd2+coordination, and the resulting optical signal changes make the ratiometric detection of Cd2+ possible. Furthermore, using carbon fiber (CF) filaments, which are obtained from low cost and easy-to-obtain actived carbon mask, as support, porphyrin COF-based CF@TpTph membrane is prepared through in-situ growth of COF on the support followed by simple mechanical pressing. The CF@TpTph membrane is demonstrated to work well for both Cd2+ removal and enrichment from soil and water samples, and shows the advantages of ease of handling, robust stability, reduced secondary pollution risk to samples, and good reusability. This work provides a powerful tool for Cd2+ removal and enrichment, exhibits that preparing porphyrin-based COFs is a feasible way to promote the interactions between porphyrin ring and Cd2+, and demonstrates that mechanical pressing is a promising strategy for the design of COF-based monolithic materials to promote the practical applications of COFs.

Abstract
A water environment quality evaluation and pollution source analysis can quantitatively examine the relationship among water pollution, resources, and the economy, and investigate the main factors affecting water quality. This paper took COD, NH3-N, and TP of the Tuojiang River as the research objects. The water environment quality evaluation and pollution source analysis of the Tuojiang River Basin were conducted based on the grey water footprint, decoupling theoretical model, and correlation analysis method. The results showed that grey water footprint decreased, and the water environment quality improved. Among the pollution sources of the grey water footprint, TP accounted for the highest proportion. Moreover, the economic development level and the water environment were generally in a state of high-quality coordination. Farmland and stock breeding pollution accounted for the largest proportion of agricultural pollution and were thus the main source of the grey water footprint. The results of Pearson’s correlation analysis indicated that the source of the pollutants were the imported pollution from the tributaries and agricultural pollution (especially stock breeding and farmland irrigation). These results showed that the quality of the water environment was improving, and the main factors affecting the water environment were stock breeding and farmland pollution in agriculture. This study presents a decision-making basis for strengthening the ecological barrier in the Yangtze River.

Estimation of Heavy Metal Content in Soil Based on Machine Learning Models. LAND 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/land11071037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Heavy metal pollution in soil is threatening the ecological environment and human health. However, field measurement of heavy metal content in soil entails significant costs. Therefore, this study explores the estimation method of soil heavy metals based on remote sensing images and machine learning. To accurately estimate the heavy metal content, we propose a hybrid artificial intelligence model integrating least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), genetic algorithm (GA) and error back propagation neural network (BPNN), namely the LASSO-GA-BPNN model. Meanwhile, this study compares the accuracy of the LASSO-GA-BPNN model, SVR (Support Vector Regression), RF (Random Forest) and spatial interpolation methods with Huanghua city as an example. Furthermore, the study uses the LASSO-GA-BPNN model to estimate the content of eight heavy metals (including Ni, Pb, Cr, Hg, Cd, As, Cu, and Zn) in Huanghua and visualize the results in high resolution. In addition, we calculate the Nemerow index based on the estimation results. The results denote that, the simultaneous optimization of BPNN by LASSO and GA can greatly improve the estimation accuracy and generalization ability. The LASSO-GA-BPNN model is a more accurate model for the estimate heavy metal content in soil compared to SVR, RF and spatial interpolation. Moreover, the comprehensive pollution level in Huanghua is mainly low pollution. The overall spatial distribution law of each heavy metal content is very similar, and the local spatial distribution of each heavy metal is different. The results are of great significance for soil pollution estimation.

Synthesis and Phase Behavior of a Platform of CO2-Soluble Functional Gradient Copolymers Bearing Metal-Complexing Units. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14132698. [PMID: 35808744 PMCID: PMC9269141 DOI: 10.3390/polym14132698] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a platform of novel functional fluorinated gradient copolymers soluble in liquid and supercritical CO2 is reported. These functional copolymers are bearing different types of complexing units (pyridine, triphenylphosphine, acetylacetate, thioacetate, and thiol) which are well-known ligands for various metals. They have been prepared by reversible addition–fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization in order to obtain well-defined gradient copolymers. The copolymers have been characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamical scanning calorimetry (DSC) and cloud point measurements in dense CO2. All the investigated metal-complexing copolymers are soluble in dense CO2 under mild conditions (pressure lower than 30 MPa up to 65 °C), confirming their potential applications in processes such as metal-catalyzed reactions in dense CO2, metal impregnation, (e.g., preparation of supported catalysts) or metal extraction from various substrates (solid or liquid effluents). Particularly, it opens the door to greener and less energy-demanding processes for the recovery of metals from spent catalysts compared to more conventional pyro- and hydro-metallurgical methods.
