Abstract
Selenium (Se) contamination in natural waters impacted by anthropogenic activities is becoming a prevalent and widespread problem. Investigation of novel, low-cost, and sustainable food-waste-sourced adsorbents for Se removal has largely been unexplored. Here, we report on the Se(IV) biosorption from a liquid solution using three waste-derived/low-cost biosorbents, namely citrus peels (bare), Ca-alginate gel beads, and Ca-alginate-citrus peels composite beads (Ca-alginate@citrus). The entrapment of citrus peels by Ca-alginate not only provided a structural framework for the citrus peel particles but also preserved the high-efficiency Se(IV) removal property of the citrus peels. From the modeling results, it was established that Se(IV) biosorption followed the fixed-film diffusion model, along with pseudo-second-order kinetics. Investigation of pH impacts along with initial dosing of sorbent/sorbate demonstrated that all of the three biosorbents exhibited optimum biosorption of Se(IV) at pH 6-8, 50-75 mg·L-1 of Se(IV), and 1-5 mg·L-1 of biosorbent. Overall, the maximum Se(IV) biosorption capacities were measured to be 116.2, 72.1, and 111.9 mg·g-1 for citrus peels, Ca-alginate, and Ca-alginate@citrus, respectively, with citrus peels (bare and immobilized) showing among the highest reported values in the literature for Se(IV) adsorption. This work provides a platform for the future development of an efficient filtration system using Ca-alginate@citrus as an inexpensive, novel, and sustainable biosorbent to treat Se(IV) contaminated water.

Searching for Low Molecular Weight Seleno-Compounds in Sprouts by Mass Spectrometry. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25122870. [PMID: 32580370 PMCID: PMC7355765 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25122870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Revised: 06/10/2020] [Accepted: 06/18/2020] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
A fit for purpose analytical protocol was designed towards searching for low molecular weight seleno-compounds in sprouts. Complementary analytical techniques were used to collect information enabling the characterization of selenium speciation. Conceiving the overall characterization of the behavior of selenium, inductively plasma optical mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to determine the total selenium content in entire sprouts as well as in selected extracts or chromatographic fractions. Then, high-performance liquid chromatography combined with ICP-MS (HPLC-ICP-MS) was used to evaluate the presence of inorganic and organic seleno-compounds, with the advantages of being very sensitive towards selenium, but limited by available selenium standard compounds. Finally, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-QqQ-MS/MS) and UHPLC-ESI-Orbitrap-MS/MS were used for the confirmation of the identity of selected compounds and identification of several unknown compounds of selenium in vegetable sprouts (sunflower, onion, radish), respectively. Cultivation of plants was designed to supplement sprouts with selenium by using solutions of selenium (IV) at the concentration of 10, 20, 40, and 60 mg/L. The applied methodology allowed to justify that vegetable sprouts metabolize inorganic selenium to a number of organic derivatives, such as seleno-methylselenocysteine (SeMetSeCys), selenomethionine (SeMet), 5′-seleno-adenosine, 2,3-DHP-selenolanthionine, Se-S conjugate of cysteine-selenoglutathione, 2,3-DHP-selenocysteine-cysteine, 2,3-DHP-selenocysteine-cysteinealanine, glutathione-2,3-DHP-selenocysteine, gamma-Glu-MetSeCys or glutamyl-glycinyl-N-2,3-DHP-selenocysteine.

Yu X, Wang M, Nan X, Guo Y, Deng T. Species and correlations between selenium and mercury in fishpond ecosystems. WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2019; 91:292-299.

Abstract
The chemical species and contents of selenium and mercury in water, sediments, and crucian carps collected from three wild and three aquaculture fishponds in Tianjin, China, were determined, and the interaction between selenium and mercury in water was also investigated by the calorimetry method. The results revealed that the average contents of total selenium (TSe) and total mercury (THg) in each item of the wild areas were higher than in those of the aquaculture areas, and significant differences (95% confidence) were presented for THg both in the sediments and crucian carps. The molar ratios between TSe and THg in all investigated fishponds were far higher than 1, indicating good protective effects of selenium on mercury toxicity. Obviously, negative correlations (r > 0.9993) were found between TSe and THg in water. The antagonism of selenium on mercury in water was confirmed to mainly result from the reaction between selenate and Hg2+ to form an insoluble selenium-mercury oxygenated compound, by which the addition of selenate into the water of fishponds would reduce the environmental risk of mercury. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Se and Hg in different fishpond ecosystems were investigated and compared. Direct evidence was provided for the interaction between Se and Hg in water. The addition of Se(VI) into fishpond ecosystems would reduce the environmental risk of Hg.

Abstract
51V NMR spectroscopy is used to document, using speciation analysis, that one oxometalate is a more potent growth inhibitor of two Mycobacterial strains than other oxovanadates, thus demonstrating selectivity in its interaction with cells. Historically, oxometalates have had many applications in biological and medical studies, including study of the phase-problem in X-ray crystallography of the ribosome. The effect of different vanadate salts on the growth of Mycobacterium smegmatis (M. smeg) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) was investigated, and speciation was found to be critical for the observed growth inhibition. Specifically, the large orange-colored sodium decavanadate (V10O 28 6 - ) anion was found to be a stronger inhibitor of growth of two mycobacterial species than the colorless oxovanadate prepared from sodium metavanadate. The vanadium(V) speciation in the growth media and conversion among species under growth conditions was monitored using 51V NMR spectroscopy and speciation calculations. The findings presented in this work is particularly important in considering the many applications of polyoxometalates in biological and medical studies, such as the investigation of the phase-problem in X-ray crystallography for the ribosome. The findings presented in this work investigate the interactions of oxometalates with other biological systems.

Celebrating Two Centuries of Research in Selenium Chemistry: State of the Art and New Prospective. Molecules 2017; 22:molecules22122124. [PMID: 29207462 PMCID: PMC6149956 DOI: 10.3390/molecules22122124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2017] [Revised: 11/29/2017] [Accepted: 11/29/2017] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
In 2017, the 200th anniversary of the discovery of selenium was celebrated. In 1817, the Swedish chemists, Berzelius and Gahn, on roasting 200 kg of sulfur from a pyrite from the Falun mine, obtained about 3 g of a precipitate that they first wrongly identified as tellurium. Berzelius doubted this result and repeated the analysis some months later realizing that a new element was in his hands and he named this element Selenium (Greek: Selene, moon) in consideration of its resemblance to Tellurium (Latin: Tellus, earth). Several events were organized in the year for this special celebration and this Special Issue would like to be an additional contribution to the success of a research that, especially during the last decades, rapidly grew in different fields: synthesis, medicinal chemistry, biology, material, and environment. These studies are strongly characterized by multi- and interdisciplinary connections, and, for this reason, we collected here contributions coming from different areas and disciplines, not exclusively synthetic organic chemistry.
