Reduction characteristic of chlorobenzene by a newly isolated Paenarthrobacter ureafaciens LY from a pharmaceutical wastewater treatment plant. Cell Biochem Funct 2024; 42:e3965. [PMID: 38457283 DOI: 10.1002/cbf.3965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024]
Abstract
A highly efficient chlorobenzene-degrading strain was isolated from the sludge of a sewage treatment plant associated with a pharmaceutical company. The strain exhibited a similarity of over 99.9% with multiple strains of Paenarthrobacter ureafaciens. Therefore, the strain was suggested to be P. ureafaciens LY. This novel strain exhibited a broad spectrum of pollutant degradation capabilities, effectively degrading chlorobenzene and other organic pollutants, such as 1, 2, 4-trichlorobenzene, phenol, and xylene. Moreover, P. ureafaciens LY co-metabolized mixtures of chlorobenzene with 1, 2, 4-trichlorobenzene or phenol. Evaluation of its degradation efficiency showed that it achieved an impressive degradation rate of 94.78% for chlorobenzene within 8 h. The Haldane-Andrews model was used to describe the growth of P. ureafaciens LY under specific pollutants and its concentrations, revealing a maximum specific growth rate (μmax ) of 0.33 h-1 . The isolation and characterization of P. ureafaciens LY, along with its ability to degrade chlorobenzene, provides valuable insights for the development of efficient and eco-friendly approaches to mitigate chlorobenzene contamination. Additionally, investigation of the degradation performance of the strain in the presence of other pollutants offers important information for understanding the complexities of co-metabolism in mixed-pollutant environments.

Abstract
Herein, experimental and theoretical approaches were used to design a new composite membrane for desalination by pervaporation. The theoretical approaches demonstrate the possibility to reach high mass transfer coefficients quite close to those obtained with conventional porous membranes if two conditions are verified: (i) a dense layer with a low thickness and (ii) a support with a high-water permeability. For this purpose, several membranes with a cellulose triacetate (CTA) polymer were prepared and compared with a hydrophobic membrane prepared in a previous study. The composite membranes were tested for several feed conditions, i.e., pure water, brine and saline water containing a surfactant. The results show that, whatever the tested feed, no wetting occurred during several hours of desalination tests. In addition, a steady flux was obtained together with a very high salt rejection (close to 100%) for the CTA membranes. Lastly, the CTA composite membrane was tested with real seawater without any pretreatment. It was shown that the salt rejection was still very high (close to 99.5%) and that no wetting could be detected for several hours. This investigation opens a new direction to prepare specific and sustainable membranes for desalination by pervaporation.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop non-supported and PET-supported chitosan membranes that were cross-linked with glutaraldehyde, then evaluate their physical-chemical, morphological, and mechanical properties, and evaluate their performance in the separation of ethanol/water and limonene/linalool synthetic mixtures by hydrophilic and target-organophilic pervaporation, respectively. The presence of a PET layer did not affect most of the physical-chemical parameters of the membranes, but the mechanical properties were enhanced, especially the Young modulus (76 MPa to 398 MPa), tensile strength (16 MPa to 27 MPa), and elongation at break (7% to 26%), rendering the supported membrane more resistant. Regarding the pervaporation tests, no permeate was obtained in target-organophilic pervaporation tests, regardless of membrane type. The support layer influenced the hydrophilic pervaporation parameters of the supported membrane, especially in reducing transmembrane flux (0.397 kg∙m-2∙h-1 to 0.121 kg∙m-2∙h-1) and increasing membrane selectivity (611 to 1974). However, the pervaporation separation index has not differed between membranes (228 for the non-supported and 218 for the PET-supported membrane), indicating that, overall, both membranes had a similar performance. Thus, the applicability of each membrane is linked to specific applications that require a more resistant membrane, greater transmembrane fluxes, and higher selectivity.

Abstract
Pervaporation is one of the most active topics in membrane research, and it has time and again proven to be an essential component for chemical separation. It has been employed in the removal of impurities from raw materials, separation of products and by-products after reaction, and separation of pollutants from water. Given the global problem of water pollution, this approach is efficient in removing hazardous substances from water bodies. Conventional processes are based on thermodynamic equilibria involving a phase transition such as distillation and liquid-liquid extraction. These techniques have a relatively low efficacy and nowadays they are not recommended because it is not sustainable in terms of energy consumption and/or waste generation. Pervaporation emerged in the 1980s and is now becoming a popular membrane separation technology because of its intrinsic features such as low energy requirements, cheap separation costs, and good quality product output. The focus of this review is on current developments in pervaporation, mass transport in membranes, material selection, fabrication and characterization techniques, and applications of various membranes in the separation of chemicals from water.

Abstract
The polymers with pH responsiveness and temperature sensitivity exhibit important applications in many fields. To endow the responsive polymers with self-healing is meaningful work, which contributes to increase their service life and reduce waste of resources significantly. In this research, a series of pH-responsive polyurethanes containing dynamic disulfide bonds and carboxylic acid functional groups were prepared by mixing polycaprolactone diol (PCL), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), 2,2-dimethylolbutyric acid, and bis(2-hydroxyethyl) disulfide. The structure of the polymer was confirmed by some characterization methods such as infrared absorption spectroscopy, Raman scattering spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry. Many performances of the polymer such as the contact angle, thermal stability, mechanics, and self-healing properties can be adjusted by changing the functional units of polyurethanes. The dynamic disulfide bonds in the main chain were observed no harm to the pH response performance, instead which were beneficial to the promotion of heat resistance, tensile properties, and self-healing performance of polyurethane. The elongation at break and the tensile strength are increased by 85.3% and 54.9%, respectively. All the polyurethane exhibited considerable self-healing effects at 110°C, with the highest healing efficiency reaching 93.7%, as a result of the dissociation of hydrogen bonds and the exchange reaction of disulfide bonds.

Abstract
The effect of compositing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with polystyrene (PS) to fabricate nanofibrous membrane by electrospinning technique and comparing the direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) performance of the blank and composite membranes is evaluated numerically. Surface morphology of both the pristine and the composite membrane was studied by SEM imaging while the average fiber diameter and average pore size were measured using ImageJ software. Static water contact angle and porosities were also determined for both membranes. Results showed significant enhancement in both the hydrophobicity and porosity of the composite membrane by increasing the static water contact angle from 145.4° for the pristine PS membrane to 155° for the PS/MWCNTs composite membrane while the porosity was increased by 28%. Simulation results showed that at any given feed inlet temperature, the PS/MWCNTs membrane have higher permeate flux and better overall system performance.

Abstract
The type of organic solvents used in interfacial polymerization affects the surface property, free volume, and separation performance of the thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide membrane. In this study, TFC polyamide membrane was fabricated through interfacial polymerization between diethylenetriamine (DETA) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC). Four types of organic solvent were explored in the preparation of pervaporation membrane. These are tetralin, toluene, hexane, and isopentane. The solubility parameter distance between organic solvents and DETA follows in increasing order: tetralin (17.07 MPa1/2) < toluene (17.31 MPa1/2) < hexane (19.86 MPa1/2) < isopentane (20.43 MPa1/2). Same trend was also observed between the organic solvents and DETA. The larger the solubility parameter distance, the denser and thicker the polyamide. Consequently, field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) analysis revealed that TFCisopentane had the thickest polyamide layer. It also delivered the highest pervaporation efficiency (permeation flux = 860 ± 71 g m-2 h-1; water concentration in permeate = 99.2 ± 0.8 wt%; pervaporation separation index = 959,760) at dehydration of 90 wt% aqueous ethanol solution. Furthermore, TFCisopentane also exhibited a high separation efficiency in isopropanol and tert-butanol. Therefore, a suitable organic solvent in preparation of TFC membrane through interfacial polymerization enables high pervaporation efficiency.
