Abstract
The work deals with the removal of two dyes, namely methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO), from polluted water by adsorption onto CuO nanoparticles synthesized with a green synthesis procedure, starting from plant resources. Adsorption isotherms are determined at different temperatures aiming at investigating the adsorption mechanisms of the two dyes. The experimental results indicate that, for both MB and MO, the adsorption capacity increases with increasing temperature, with slight differences in the case of MO. Comparatively, the CuO nanoparticles show a higher MB adsorption capacity with respect to MO. A modelling analysis is carried out with a multilayer model derived from statistical physics, selected among a group of models, each hypothesizing a different number of adsorbed molecules layers. The analysis of model parameters allows determining that the adsorbate molecules exhibit a non-parallel orientation on the surface of biosynthesized CuO nanoparticles and each functional group of the adsorbent binds multiple molecules, simultaneously.The model also allows determining the number of dye molecule layers formed on adsorbent surface, in all the cases resulting higher than three, also confirming the effect of temperature on the maximum adsorption capacity.Specifically, the total number of dye layers formed on biosynthesized CuO nanoparticles surface exhibited a range of 4.17-4.55 for MB dye and of 3.01-3.51 for MO dye.Finally, the adsorption energies reveal that adsorption likely involves physical forces (all resulting all below 22 kJ/mol), i.e. hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. The adsorption energies for the interactions between dye molecules are lower than those calculated for the interactions between the dye molecules and the adsorbent surface.

Abstract
Perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) exhibit high chemical and thermal stability, rendering them versatile for various applications. However, their notable toxicity poses environmental and human health concerns. Detecting trace amounts of these chemicals is crucial to mitigate risks. Electrochemical sensors surpass traditional methods in sensitivity, selectivity, and cost-effectiveness. In this study, a graphene nanosheet-based sensor was developed for detecting perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA). Using the Hummer method, graphene nanosheets were synthesized and characterized in terms of morphology, structural ordering, and surface topology. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations determined the molecular interaction of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) with the sensor material. The sensor exhibited high sensitivity (50.75 μA·μM-1·cm-2 for PFOA and 29.58 μA·μM-1·cm-2 for PFDA) and low detection limits (10.4 nM for PFOA and 16.6 nM for PFDA) within the electrode dynamic linearity range of 0.05-500.0 μM (PFOA) and 0.08-500.0 μM (PFDA). Under optimal conditions, the sensor demonstrated excellent selectivity and recovery in testing for PFOA and PFDA in environmental samples, including spiked soil, water, spoiled vegetables, and fruit samples.

Abstract
For the first time, we report calculations of the free energies of activation of cracking and isomerization reactions of alkenes that combine several different electronic structure methods with molecular dynamics simulations. We demonstrate that the use of a high level of theory (here Random Phase Approximation-RPA) is necessary to bridge the gap between experimental and computed values. These transformations, catalyzed by zeolites and proceeding via cationic intermediates and transition states, are building blocks of many chemical transformations for valorization of long chain paraffins originating, e.g., from plastic waste, vegetable oils, Fischer-Tropsch waxes or crude oils. Compared with the free energy barriers computed at the PBE+D2 production level of theory via constrained ab initio molecular dynamics, the barriers computed at the RPA level by the application of Machine Learning thermodynamic Perturbation Theory (MLPT) show a significant decrease for isomerization reaction and an increase of a similar magnitude for cracking, yielding an unprecedented agreement with the results obtained by experiments and kinetic modeling.

Abstract
In modern times, wastewater treatment is vital due to increased water contamination arising from pollutants such as nutrients, pathogens, heavy metals, and pharmaceutical residues. Polysaccharides (PSAs) are natural, renewable, and non-toxic biopolymers used in wastewater treatment in the field of gas separation, liquid filtration, adsorption processes, pervaporation, and proton exchange membranes. Since addition of nanoparticles to PSAs improves their sustainability and strength, nanocomposite PSAs has gained significant attention for wastewater treatment in the past decade. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of PSA-based nanocomposites used for efficient wastewater treatment, focusing on adsorption, photocatalysis, and membrane-based methods. It also discusses potential future applications, challenges, and opportunities in adsorption, filtration, and photocatalysis. Recently, PSAs have shown promise as adsorbents in biological-based systems, effectively removing heavy metals that could hinder microbial activity. Cellulose-mediated adsorbents have successfully removed various pollutants from wastewater, including heavy metals, dyes, oil, organic solvents, pesticides, and pharmaceutical residues. Thus, PSA nanocomposites would support biological processes in wastewater treatment plants. A major concern is the discharge of antibiotic wastes from pharmaceutical industries, posing significant environmental and health risks. PSA-mediated bio-adsorbents, like clay polymeric nanocomposite hydrogel beads, efficiently remove antibiotics from wastewater, ensuring water quality and ecosystem balance. The successful use of PSA-mediated bio-adsorbents in wastewater treatment depends on ongoing research to optimize their application and evaluate their potential environmental impacts. Implementing these eco-friendly adsorbents on a large scale holds great promise in significantly reducing water pollution, safeguarding ecosystems, and protecting human health.

Abstract
AIMS Phyllodes tumours and breast sarcomas are uncommon tumours and their rarity poses significant challenges in diagnosis and management. This cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the multidisciplinary clinical practice for these tumours across the UK and Ireland, with the aim of identifying gaps in knowledge and providing direction for establishing national guidelines. MATERIALS AND METHODS An international survey was adapted and circulated to breast and/or sarcoma surgeons and oncologists in the UK and Ireland through national organisations. Multidisciplinary team (MDT) responses were analysed anonymously. RESULTS Twenty-eight MDTs participated in this study, predominately from high-volume units (85.5%). Although only 43% of the surveyed units were part of a trust that holds a sarcoma MDT, 68% of units managed malignant phyllodes and angiosarcoma, whereas 64.5% managed soft-tissue sarcoma of the breast. Across all subtypes, axillary surgery was recommended by 14-21% of the MDTs and the most recommended resection margins for breast surgery were 'no tumour on ink' in benign phyllodes (39%) and 10 mm in the remaining subtypes (25-29%). Immediate breast reconstruction was supported by 11-18% of MDTs for breast sarcoma subtypes, whereas 36% and 32% advocated this approach in benign and borderline phyllodes tumours, respectively. Adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy were recommended by up to 29% and 11% of the MDTs, respectively. CONCLUSION The results of this study demonstrate a wide variation in clinical practice across the surveyed MDTs. As only 28 MDTs participated in our study, with under-representation from low-volume units, our results might be an underestimation of the variability in practice across the UK and Ireland. This multi-institutional study sheds light on controversial aspects in the management of phyllodes tumours and breast sarcoma, identifies the need for national guidelines to inform best practice, and calls for the centralisation of the management of breast sarcoma within specialist centres.

Abstract
A healthy breath is mainly composed of water, carbon dioxide, molecular nitrogen, and oxygen and it contains many species, in small quantities, which are related to the ambient atmosphere and the metabolism. The breath of a person affected by lung cancer presents a concentration of 1-propanol higher than usual. In this context, the development of specific sensors to detect 1-propanol from breath is of high interest. The amount of propanol usually detected on the breath is of few ppb; this small quantity is a handicap for a reliable diagnostic. This limitation can be overcome if the sensor is equipped with a pre-concentrator. Our studies aim to provide an efficient material playing this role. This will contribute to the development of reliable and easy to use lung cancer detectors. For this, we investigate the properties of a few hydrophobic porous materials (chabazite, silicalite-1, and dealuminated faujasite). Hydrophobic structures are used to avoid saturation of materials by the water present in the exhaled breath. Our experimental and simulation results suggest that silicalite -1 (MFI) is the most suitable structure to be used as a pre-concentrator.

Abstract
In the low-frequency regime, ≈1 THz, glasses show an anomalous excess in their vibrational density of states called the boson peak (BP). The origin of BP has been a subject of debate since its first discovery a few decades ago. Although BP has been the focus of numerous studies, no conclusive answers have been found about its origins, which remained elusive to date. Here, we present results based on molecular dynamics of several binary and ternary silicate glasses with different network intermediates and modifier oxides. The vibrational density of states and the BP are reported for all the studied glasses. Their correlation with the elastic constant C44, structural, and dynamical properties are extensively discussed in terms of Voronoi atomic volume and the vibrational mean square displacement of Q4 species specifically. We also question the classical classification of alkali oxides as modifiers, and we suggest that Li2O plays the role of pseudo-intermediate oxide in lithium silicate glasses. This claim is supported by the effect of Li on various vibrational modes, and this effect differs from the other alkali metals. Furthermore, we demonstrate a correlation between the BP intensities and both the Voronoi volume of the Q4 and Q3 units and vibrational mean square displacements.

Abstract
The efficient separation and adsorption of critical gases are, more than ever, a major focus point in important energy processes, such as CH4 enrichment of biogas or natural gas, CO2 separation and capture, and H2 purification and storage. Thanks to its physicochemical properties, cation-exchanged chabazite is a potent zeolite for such applications. Previous computational screening investigations have mostly examined chabazites exchanged with monovalent cations. Therefore, in this contribution, periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations in combination with dispersion corrections have been used for a systematic screening of divalent cation exchanged chabazite zeolites. The work focuses on cheap and readily available divalent cations, Ca(II), Mg(II), and Zn(II), Fe(II), Sn(II), and Cu(II) and investigates the effect of the cation nature and location within the framework on the adsorption selectivity of chabazite for specific gas separations, namely, CO2/CH4, N2/CH4, and N2/H2. All the cationic adsorption sites were explored to describe the diversity of sites in a typical experimental chabazite with a Si/Al ratio close to 2 or 3. The results revealed that Mg-CHA is the most promising cation for the selective adsorption of CO2. These predictions were further supported by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations performed at 300 K, which demonstrated that the presence of CH4 has a negligible impact on the adsorption of CO2 on Mg-CHA. Ca(II) was found to be the most favorable cation for the selective adsorption of H2 and CO2. Finally, none of the investigated cations were suitable for the preferential capture of N2 and H2 in the purification of CH4 rich mixtures. These findings provide valuable insights into the factors influencing the adsorption behavior of N2, H2, CH4, and CO2 and highlight the crucial role played by theoretical calculations and simulations for the optimal design of efficient adsorbents.

Abstract
Sustainable water recycling and wastewater reuse are urgent nowadays considering water scarcity and increased water consumption through human activities. In 2015, United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 (UN SDG6) highlighted the necessity of recycling wastewater to guarantee water availability for individuals. Currently, wastewater irrigation (WWI) of crops and agricultural land appears essential. The present work overviews the quality of treated wastewater in terms of soil microbial activities, and discusses challenges and benefits of WWI in line with wastewater reuse in agriculture and aquaculture irrigation. Combined conventional-advanced wastewater treatment processes are specifically deliberated, considering the harmful impacts on human health arising from WWI originating from reuse of contaminated water (salts, organic pollutants, toxic metals, and microbial pathogens i.e., viruses and bacteria). The comprehensive literature survey revealed that, in addition to the increased levels of pathogen and microbial threats to human wellbeing, poorly-treated wastewater results in plant and soil contamination with toxic organic/inorganic chemicals, and microbial pathogens. The impact of long-term emerging pollutants like plastic nanoparticles should also be established in further studies, with the development of standardized analytical techniques for such hazardous chemicals. Likewise, the reliable, long-term and extensive judgment on heavy metals threat to human beings's health should be explored in future investigations.

Abstract
In the context of effective detection of iodine species (I2, CH3I) formed in nuclear power plants and nuclear fuel reprocessing facilities, we perform a comparative study of the potential sensing performance of four expectedly promising 2D materials (8-Pmmn borophene, BC3, C3N, and BC6N) towards the iodine-containing gases and, with the view of checking selectivity, towards common inhibiting gases in the containment atmosphere (H2O and CO), applying methods of dispersion-corrected density functional theory with periodic boundary conditions. A covalent bond is formed between the CO molecule and boron in BC3 or in 8-Pmmn borophene, compromising the anticipated applicability of these materials for iodine detection. The presence of nitrogen atoms in BC6N-2 prevents the formation of a covalent bond with CO; however, the closeness of adsorption energies for all the four gases studied does not distinguish this material as specifically sensitive to iodine species. Finally, the energies of adsorption on C3N yield a significant and promising discrimination between the adsorption energies of (I2, CH3I) vs. (CO, H2O), revealing possibilities for this material's use as an iodine sensor. The conclusions are supported by simulations at finite temperature; underlying electronic structures are also discussed.

Abstract
First-principles calculations based on density-functional theory have been used to investigate the effect of biaxial strain and oxygen vacancy on the electronic, photocatalytic, and electrocatalytic properties of PbTiO3 oxide. Our results show that PbTiO3 has a high exciton binding energy and a band gap that can be easily moderated with different strain regimes. From a reactivity viewpoint, the highly exothermic adsorption of hydrogen atoms in both pristine and strained PbTiO3 structures does not make it a potential electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction. Fortunately, the presence of oxygen vacancies on the PbTiO3 surface induces moderate adsorption energies, making the reduced PbTiO3 suitable for hydrogen evolution reaction processes.

Abstract
Low-cost and reliable wastewater treatment is a relevant issue worldwide to reduce the concentration of environmental pollutants. Industrial effluents containing dyes, heavy metals, and other inorganic and organic compounds can pollute water resources; therefore, novel technologies are required to mitigate and control their release into the environment. Adsorption is one of the simplest methods for treating contaminated water in which a wide spectrum of adsorbents can be used to remove emerging compounds. Hydrogels are interesting materials with high adsorption capacities that can be synthesized via green routes. These adsorbents are promising for large-scale industrial wastewater treatment applications; however, gaps still exist in achieving sustainable commercial implementation. This review focuses on the discussion and analysis of preparation, characterization, and adsorption properties of hydrogels for water purification. The advantages of these polymeric materials for water treatment were analyzed, including their performance in the removal of different organic and inorganic contaminants. Recent advances in the functionalization of hydrogels and the synthesis of novel composites have also been described. The adsorption capacities of hydrogel-based adsorbents are higher than 500 mg/g for different organic and inorganic pollutants, and can reach values of up to >2000 mg/g for organic compounds, significantly outperforming other materials reported for water cleaning. The main interactions involved in the adsorption of water pollutants using hydrogel-based adsorbents were described and explained to allow the interpretation of their removal mechanisms. The current challenges in the implementation of hydrogels for water purification in real-life operations are also highlighted. This review provides an updated picture of hydrogels as interesting materials to address water depollution worldwide.

Abstract
Silanols are key players in the application performance of zeolites, yet, their localization and hydrogen bonding strength need more studies. The effects of post-synthetic ion exchange on nanosized chabazite (CHA), focusing on the formation of silanols, were studied. The significant alteration of the silanols of the chabazite nanozeolite upon ion exchange and their effect on the CO2 adsorption capacity was revealed by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Both theoretical and experimental results revealed changing the ratio of extra-framework cations in CHA zeolites changes the population of silanols; decreasing the Cs+/K+ ratio creates more silanols. Upon adsorption of CO2, the distribution and strength of the silanols also changed with increased hydrogen bonding, thus revealing an interaction of silanols with CO2 molecules. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first evidence of the interplay between alkali-metal cations and silanols in nanosized CHA.

Abstract
This research highlights the synergistic use of carbon black (CB) and chitin nanofibers (CHNFs) for developing green tyres for the first time. The CHNFs (12-30 nm) were prepared from chitin powder with the help of steam explosion and mild oxalic acid hydrolysis. The CHNFs were uniformly dispersed in natural rubber (NR) latex, dried, and mixed with CB in a two-roll mill to form NR/CB/CHNF composites. The NR/CB/CHNF composite at 1 phr CHNF loading exhibited tensile and tear strengths that were about 47 and 160 % greater than the NR-Neat, respectively. The dynamic mechanical analysis showed that the loss tangent (tan δ) at 60 °C was 50 % lower for the NR/CB/CHNF 1.0 composite than for the NR/CB50 composite. The study succeeded in developing a new green tyre tread formulation that would be helpful for attaining sustainability and a circular economy.

Abstract
The mother earth is a source of natural resources that, in conjunction with anthropogenic activities, generates a wide spectrum of different biowastes. These biomaterials can be used as low-cost raw feedstock to produce bioenergy, value-added products, and other commodities. However, the improper management and disposal of these biowastes can generate relevant environmental impacts. Consequently, it is imperative to explore alternative technologies for the valorization and exploitation of these wastes to obtain benefits for the society. This review covers different aspects related to valorization of biowastes and their applications in water pollution, soil fertility and green energy generation. The classification and characteristics of different biowastes (biosolids, animal wastes and effluents, plant biomass, wood and green wastes) including their main generation sources are discussed. Different technologies (e.g., pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonization, anaerobic digestion, gasification, biodrying) for the transformation and valorization of these residues are also analyzed. The application of biowastes in soil fertility, environmental pollution and energy production are described and illustrative examples are provided. Finally, the challenges related to implement low-cost and sustainable biowaste management strategies are highlighted. It was concluded that reliable simulation studies are required to optimize all the logistic stages of management chain of these residues considering the constraints generated from the economic, environmental and social aspects of the biowaste generation sources and their locations. The recollection and sorting of biowastes are key parameters to minimize the costs associated to their management and valorization. Also, the concepts of Industry 4.0 can contribute to achieve a successful commercial production of the value-added products obtained from the biowaste valorization. Overall, this review provides a general outlook of biowaste management and its valorization in the current context of circular economy.

Abstract
Anammox-mediated systems have attracted considerable attention as alternative cost-effective technologies for sustainable nitrogen (N) removal from wastewater. This review comprehensively highlights the importance of understanding microbial metabolism in anammox-mediated systems under crucial operation parameters, indicating the potentially wide applications for the sustainable treatment of N-containing wastewater. The partial nitrification-anammox (PN-A), simultaneous PN-A and denitrification (SNAD) processes have demonstrated sustainable N removal from sidestream wastewater. The partial denitrification-anammox (PD-A) and denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation-anammox (DAMO-A) processes have advanced sustainable N removal efficiency in mainstream wastewater treatment. Moreover, N2O production/emission hotspots are extensively discussed in anammox-based processes and are related to the dominant ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and denitrifying heterotrophs. In contrast, N2O is not produced in the metabolism pathways of AnAOB and DAMO-archaea; Moreover, the actual contribution of N2O production by dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) and DAMO-bacteria in their species remains uncertain. Thus, PD-A and DAMO-A processes would achieve reduction in greenhouse gas production, as well as energy consumption for the reliability of N removal efficiencies. In addition to reaction mechanisms, this review covers the mathematical models for simultaneous anammox, partial nitrification and/or denitrification (i.e., PN-A, PD-A, and SNAD). Promising NO3- reduction technologies by endogenous PD, sulfur-driven autotrophic denitrification, and DNRA by anammox are also discussed. In summary, this review provides a better understanding of sustainable N removal in anammox-mediated systems, thereby encouraging future investigation and exploration of the sustainable N bio-treatment from wastewater.

Abstract
New generation of mission-oriented fabrics meets advanced requirements; such as electrical conductivity, flame retardancy, and anti-bacterial properties. However, sustainability concerns still are on-demand in fabrication of multi-functional fabrics. In this work, we used a bio-based phosphorus molecule (phytic acid, PA) to reinforce flax fabrics against flame via layer-by-layer consecutive surface modification. First, the flax fabric was treated with PA. Then, polyethylenimine (PEI) was localized above it to create negative charges, and finally PA was deposited as top-layer. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), and inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) proved successful chemical treatment. Pyrolysis-combustion flow calorimetry (PCFC) showed significant drop by about 77% in the peak of heat release rate (pHRR) from 215 W/g for untreated to 50 W/g for treated flax fabric. Likewise, the total heat release (THR) decreased by more than three times from 11 to 3.2 kJ/g. Mechanical behavior of the treated flax fabric was completely different from untreated flax fabrics, changing from almost highly-strengthened behavior with short elongation at break to a rubber-like behavior with significantly higher elongation at break. Surface friction resistance was also improved, such that the abrasion resistance of the modified fabrics increased up to 30,000 rub cycles without rupture.

Abstract
In this paper, the adsorption of the herbicide 2,4-D and the drug ketoprofen on wheat husks Fagopyrum esculentum treated with H2SO4 is experimentally and analytically analyzed. The adsorbent is fully characterized through some techniques such as FT-IR, SEM, and XRD. Adsorption tests are carried out to optimize the performances in terms of adsorbent dosage and solution pH. Subsequently, the impact of temperature is determined through the realization of adsorption isotherms. A multilayer model is employed to microscopically interpret the adsorption mechanism of both the investigated compounds. The modelling analysis shows that the number of molecules bound per adsorption site varied from 0.68 to 2.77 and from 2.23 to 3.59 for ketoprofen and herbicide 2,4-D, respectively. These estimated values testify that an aggregation process occurs during adsorption. The global number of formed layers of each adsorbate is also determined, showing a significant reduction from 5.73 to 2.61 for ketoprofen and from 1.79 to 1.5 for herbicide 2,4-D with the temperature. For a complete understanding of the adsorption mechanism, the saturation adsorption capacity and adsorption energy were calculated and interpreted. Overall, it may be inferred that physical interactions govern how these contaminants adsorb on the tested adsorbent.

Abstract
The present study aimed to experimentally identify the essential oil of Algerian Cyperus rotundus L. and to model the interaction of some known anti-inflammatory molecules with two key enzymes involved in inflammation, 5-Lypoxygenase (5-LO) and leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H). Gas chromatography/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/GC-MS) revealed that 92.7% of the essential oil contains 35 compounds, including oxygenated sesquiterpenes (44.2%), oxygenated monoterpenes (30.2%), monoterpene hydrocarbons (11.8%) and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (6.5%). The major identified oxygenated terpenes are humulene oxide II, caryophyllene oxide, khusinol, agarospirol, spathulinol and trans-pinocarveol Myrtenol and α-terpineol are known to exhibit anti-inflammatory activities. Several complexes obtained after docking the natural terpenes with 5-LO and LTA4H have shown strong hydrogen bonding interactions. The best docking energies were found with α-terpineol, Myrtenol and khusinol. The interaction between the natural products and amino-acid residues HIS367, ILE673 and GLN363 appears to be critical for 5-LO inhibition, while the interaction with residues GLU271, HIS295, TYR383, TYR378, GLU318, GLU296 and ASP375 is critical for LTA4H inhibition. Molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories of the selected docked complexes showed stable backbone root mean square deviation (RMSD), supporting the stability of the natural product-enzyme interaction.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Bio-oils obtained from biomass contain heteroatoms compounds, like oxolane and thiolane. It is quite difficult for industrialist to purify such refractory bio-oils. One of the efficient strategies for the elimination of heteroatoms is hydrogenolysis process, which results in the formation of H2O and H2S residues as by-products. In this work, quantum chemical studies have been used to analyse the reaction mechanism for the removal of hetero atoms (S and O) as H2O and H2S. We selected B3LYP functional of DFT with Pople's basis set 6-311G(d,p) for computing the hydrogenolysis steps without catalyst. LANL2DZ basis set, is used for studying hydrogenolysis steps involving AlCl3 and WS3H3+ as catalysts. All the reactions are analysed at the temperature of 600 K and pressure of 40 bars. Structural, thermodynamic, kinetic properties have been employed to study this process. The analysis of variations parameters during the hydrogenolysis process reveals that these two organic biomass compounds undergo sequential ring opening at C-X (X = O, S) bonds. Butanol and Butanethiol are obtained as a result of first hydrogenolysis process, and these compounds are converted to butane during second catalytic process while eliminating heteroatoms.

Abstract
The COVID-19 outbreak has triggered a massive research, but still urgent detection and treatment of this virus seems a public concern. The spread of viruses in aqueous environments underlined efficient virus treatment processes as a hot challenge. This review critically and comprehensively enables identifying and classifying advanced biochemical, membrane-based and disinfection processes for effective treatment of virus-contaminated water and wastewater. Understanding the functions of individual and combined/multi-stage processes in terms of manufacturing and economical parameters makes this contribution a different story from available review papers. Moreover, this review discusses challenges of combining biochemical, membrane and disinfection processes for synergistic treatment of viruses in order to reduce the dissemination of waterborne diseases. Certainly, the combination technologies are proactive in minimizing and restraining the outbreaks of the virus. It emphasizes the importance of health authorities to confront the outbreaks of unknown viruses in the future.

Abstract
The work reports a modeling analysis of single-compound and binary adsorption of Pb2+ and Cd2+ ions from polluted water onto the activated carbon at room temperature. The homogeneous model for single adsorption (HM) and the exclusive extended monolayer model for binary adsorption (EEMM) are applied for the interpretation of the experimental data set. The adopted models correlate the entire set of adsorption data, allowing a thorough description of the occurring phenomena. The overall objective of the study is to determine the adsorption mechanisms, also through a comparative analysis between the single-compound and binary modeling data. The parameters of both models are used for to retrieve useful indications about the adsorption of these two ions. In particular, the number of ions adsorbed per single functional groups changed from single-compound to binary adsorption, allowing to explain the competitive behavior of the investigated system. The adsorption energy values vary between 21.39 (Pb2+) and 24.06 kJ/mol (Cd2+), and 27.17 (Pb2+) and 32.59 kJ/mol (Cd2+) in single-compound and binary systems, respectively, indicating that adsorption is a physisorption process.

Abstract
This work describes the modeling and analysis of methylene blue molecule on different adsorbents, namely, nickel alginate/graphene oxide (NA/GO) aerogel, nickel alginate/activated carbon (NA/AC) aerogel, and Trichosanthes kirilowii maxim shell activated carbon (TKAC). A multilayer statistical physics model was used to calculate the energetic and steric parameters of the adsorption of methylene blue on these adsorbents. Based on the modeling investigation, it was concluded that the formation of multiple dye adsorbed layers on these adsorbents could be feasible where physical adsorption interactions could be involved. Adsorption capacities at saturation of these adsorbents ranged from 542.97 to 470.03 mg/g, 790.66 to 684.47 mg/g, and 401.11 to 1236.24 mg/g for NA-GO aerogel, NA-AC aerogel, and TKAC, respectively. This research contributes with new findings for the understanding of dye adsorption on novel materials, which can be used in water pollution control.

Abstract
Adsorption modeling via statistical physics theory allows to understand the adsorption mechanism of heavy metal ions. Therefore, this paper reports the analysis of the mechanism of copper ion (Cu2+) adsorption on four activated carbons using statistical physics models. These models contain parameters that were utilized to provide new insights into the possible adsorption mechanism at the molecular scale. In particular, a monolayer adsorption model was the best alternative to correlate the Cu2+ adsorption data at 25-55 °C and pH 5.5. Furthermore, the application of this model for copper adsorption data analysis showed that the removal of this heavy metal ion was a multi-cationic process. This theoretical finding indicated that Cu2+ ions interacted via one functional group of activated carbon surface during adsorption. In this direction, the adsorption energy was calculated thus showing that Cu2+ removal was endothermic and associated with physical interaction forces. Furthermore, these activated carbons showed saturation adsorption capacities from 54.6 to 87.0 mg/g for Cu2+ removal, and their performances outperformed other adsorbents available in the literature. Overall, these results provide new insights of the adsorption mechanism of this water pollutant using activated carbons.

Abstract
Emissions of diesel exhaust gas in confined work environments are a major health and safety concern, because of exposition to nitrogen oxides (NOx). Removal of these pollutants from exhaust gas calls for engineering of an optimum sorbent for the selective trapping of NO and NO2 in the presence of water. To this end, periodic density functional theory calculations along with a recent dispersion correction scheme, namely the Tkatchenko-Scheffler scheme coupled with iterative Hirshfeld partitioning TS/HI, were performed to investigate the interactions between NO, NO2, H2O and a series of divalent cation (Be2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Fe2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Pd2+, and Pt2+) faujasites. This enabled the identification of the optimum zeolites to selectively capture NOx in the presence of H2O, with respect to two important criteria, such as thermodynamic affinity and regeneration. Our results revealed that Pt2+ and Pd2+ containing faujasites are the best candidates for effective capture of both NO and NO2 molecules, which paves the way towards the use of these sorbents to address this challenging application.

Abstract
Nanocellulose is the "green magnet" which attracts a wide spectrum of industries towards it due to its availability, biodegradability, and possible smart applications. For the first time, pineapple pomace was being explored as an economic precursor for cellulose nanofibers. Nanofiber isolation was accomplished using a chemo-mechanical method and solution casting was adopted for the development of nanopapers. Moreover, the study examines the structural, optical, crystalline, dimensional, and thermal features of nanofibers isolated using different acid hydrolysis (oxalic acid and sulphuric acid) methods. Fourier-transform infra-red spectroscopy, 13C solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis indicated the presence of type I cellulose. The transmittance, crystallinity index, and thermal stability of PPNFS (sulphuric acid treated fiber) were greater than PPNFO (oxalic acid treated fiber). The transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering analysis confirmed the nanodimension of PPNFO and PPNFS. While comparing the optical and mechanical properties of nanopapers, PPNFS outperforms PPNFO. The tensile strength of the prepared nanopapers (64 MPa (PPNFO) and 68 MPa (PPNFS)) was found to be high compared to similar works reported in the literature. The prepared nanopaper is proposed to be used for food packaging applications.

Abstract
The widespread use of methyl parathion (MP) and carbendazim (CBZ) as pesticide molecules for controlling pests and protect crops has added pollution issues; excess usage of these can lead to atmospheric pollution through contaminating water and soil sources. In the present study, detection of these compounds at the trace level was achieved by employing graphene oxide (GO) and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanohybrid electrode assembly (GO/g-C3N4/GCE). The X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) techniques were also used to characterize the materials developed to reveal their purity, crystal structure, and morphology. The complete voltammetric behavior of these analytes was investigated using cyclic voltammetic (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV) techniques. The influence of pH was studied and it was noticed that electrochemical response was the highest at pH 7.0 for MP and at pH 4.2 for CBZ. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations could help us to understand the adsorption behavior of MP and CBZ onto the GO and g-C3N4 before their degradation due to the electrochemical reactions. SWV technique was helpful in the trace level detection of MP and CBZ. Linearity plots were obtained in the range of concentration from 8.0 × 10-8 M to 1.0 × 10-4 M with a limit of detection 0.824 nM for MP and 1.0 × 10-8 M to 2.5 × 10-4 M for CBZ with the detection limit of 2.82 nM. Significance of the developed method in the field of agricultural and environmental domains was successfully investigated by monitoring MP and CBZ in water and soil samples, and the obtained results suggested the selectivity, stability, and reproducibility of the newly developed GO/g-C3N4/GCE electrode assembly.

Abstract
A computational study was carried out to investigate the effect of surface termination on Janus Hf2COS MXene by substituting partly the O-terminated layer with S atoms. Our predictions confirm that this chemical strategy allows one to tailor the band gap of MXenes. Indeed, the semiconducting character of Hf2CO2 MXene decreases by the exchange of O by S atoms. From a structural point of view, dynamical, mechanical, and thermal analysis confirm the thermodynamic stability of the Janus Hf2COS MXene, which shows metallic character. Furthermore, topological chemical analysis indicates an ionic nature of Hf2CO2 MXene that tends to be reduced by increasing the concentration of S atoms, promoting a covalent character. Shortly, the present study illustrates how the properties of MXenes can be tailored by functionalizing them with different chemical terminations.

Abstract
Machine learning thermodynamic perturbation theory (MLPT) is a promising approach to compute finite temperature properties when the goal is to compare several different levels of ab initio theory and/or to apply highly expensive computational methods. Indeed, starting from a production molecular dynamics trajectory, this method can estimate properties at one or more target levels of theory from only a small number of additional fixed-geometry calculations, which are used to train a machine learning model. However, as MLPT is based on thermodynamic perturbation theory (TPT), inaccuracies might arise when the starting point trajectory samples a configurational space which has a small overlap with that of the target approximations of interest. By considering case studies of molecules adsorbed in zeolites and several different density functional theory approximations, in this work we assess the accuracy of MLPT for ensemble total energies and enthalpies of adsorption. It is shown that problematic cases can be detected even without knowing reference results and that even in these situations it is possible to recover target level results within chemical accuracy by applying a machine-learning-based Monte Carlo (MLMC) resampling. Finally, on the basis of the ideas developed in this work, we assess and confirm the accuracy of recently published MLPT-based enthalpies of adsorption at the random phase approximation level, whose high computational cost would completely hinder a direct molecular dynamics simulation.

Abstract
In this study, a purified diatomite (PD) with a concentration of diatom frustules more than 92% SiO2 was utilized to synthesize a composite of MCM-41 silica under hydrothermal conditions. The as-synthesized PD/MCM-41 composite was characterized and tested as an adsorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) and Mn(VII) ions from aqueous solution. Results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed that the diatom frustules of the PD were coated with MCM-41 mesoporous silica. Experimental isotherms of Cr(VI) and Mn(VII) adsorption were fitted to classical and advanced statistical physics models at 25°C–55°C and pH 3. The Langmuir model estimated monolayer adsorption capacities ranging from 144.1 to 162.2 mg/g for Cr(VI) and 166.2 to 177.0 mg/g for Mn(VII), which improved with increasing the solution temperature. Steric and energetic parameters obtained from a monolayer adsorption model with one adsorption site was utilized to explain the adsorption mechanism at a microscopic level. The number of Cr(VI) and Mn(VII) ions adsorbed on PD/MCM-41 active site (n) were 1.25–1.27 for Cr(VI) and 1.27–1.32 for Mn(VII), thus suggesting multi-interaction mechanisms. The density of PD/MCM-41 active sites (DM) was a key parameter to explain the adsorption of these heavy metals. The adsorbed quantities were maximum at 55°C, thus obtaining 102.8 and 110.7 mg/g for Cr(VI) and Mn(VII), respectively. Cr(VI) and Mn(VII) adsorption energies ranged from 18.48 to 26.70 kJ/mol and corresponded to an endothermic adsorption with physical forces. Entropy, free enthalpy, and internal energy associated to the adsorption of Cr(VI) and Mn(VII) ions were calculated, thus indicating that the removal of these pollutants was spontaneous. Overall, this article offers new interpretations for the Cr(VI) and Mn(VII) adsorption mechanisms on PD/MCM-41 composite, which are relevant to contribute to the development of effective water treatment processes.

Abstract
First-principles based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the interaction of two-dimensional (2D) HfS2 with SO2, a harmful gas with implications for climate change. In particular, we describe the effect of water and sulfur vacancies on such interaction. The former promotes the physisorption of SO2, whereas the latter promotes its chemisorption with structural changes on the absorbing surface. The results show that both structures are exothermic to adsorb the SO2 molecules, but the adsorption type is different. The reaction of the stable structure in the presence of water with the sulfur oxides is a physisorption interaction that enhances the band gap value of the isolated monolayer. However, for the defective structure, we have a chemisorption interaction type, where the adsorption of SO2 molecules widens the band gap values. To understand this behavior, we used Bader charge calculations and the noncovalent interactions index. While the water enhances the charge transfer between the monolayer and the adsorbed gas, the results show, however, that the defective structure is a more favorable gas sensor due to the metallic edge of the active site.

Abstract
Novel ciprofloxacin composite imprinted materials are synthesized by using co-precipitation polymerization of dual functional monomers (methacrylic acid and 2-vinylpyridine) and polystyrene-co-divinylbenzene. The intermolecular interactions between monomers and template are evaluated by molecular modeling analysis. The physicochemical properties of the obtained polymers are characterized using FT-IR, TGA, and SEM. Batch adsorption experiments are used to investigate adsorption properties (kinetic, pH, and isotherm). These polymers are employed to prepare the solid phase extraction cartridges, and their extraction performances are analyzed by the HPLC-UV method. DFT calculations indicate that hydrogen bonding and π−π stacking are the driving forces for the formation of selective rebinding sites. The obtained polymers exhibit excellent adsorption properties, including fast kinetics and high adsorption capacity (up to 10.28 mg g−1) with an imprinted factor of 2.55. The Scatchard analysis indicates the presence of specific high-affinity adsorption sites on the imprinted polymer. These absorbents are employed to extract CIP in river water with recoveries in the range of 65.97–119.26% and the relative standard deviation of 3.59–14.01%. Furthermore, the used cartridges could be reused at least eight times without decreasing their initial adsorption capacity. Ciprofloxacin imprinted polymers were prepared using co-precipitation polymerization of methacrylic acid, 2-vinylpyridine and polystyrene-co-divinylbenzene.![]()

Abstract
The effects of radiations on nucleic acids and their constituents is widely studied across several research fields using different experimental and theoretical protocols. While a large number of studies were performed in this context, many fundamental physical and chemical effects are still being investigated, particularly involving the effect of the biological environment. As an example, the interpretation of experimental nucleic acid bases mass spectra, and hence inferring their reactivity in complex environment still poses great challenge. This Minireview summarizes recent theoretical advancements aiming to predict and interpret the reactivity of nucleic acid bases. We focus not only on the understanding of the inherent fragmentation pathways of isolated nucleobases but also on the modeling of a realistic nano-environments highlighting the importance of molecular dynamics simulations and the non-innocent role of the environment and also the possibility to open novel fragmentation pathways.

Abstract
The very wide range of applications of LTA zeolites, including the storage of tritiated water, implies that a detailed and accurate atomic-scale description of the adsorption processes taking place in their structure is crucial. To unravel with an unprecedented accuracy the mechanisms behind the water filling in NaA, we have conducted a systematic ab initio molecular dynamics investigation. Two LTA structural models, the conventional Z4A and the reduced one ZK4, have been used for static and dynamic ab initio calculations, respectively. After assessing this reduced model with comparative static DFT calculations, we start the filling of the α and β cages by water, molecule by molecule. This allowed us to thoroughly study the interaction of water molecules with the zeolite structure and between water molecules, progressively forming H-bond chains and ring patterns as the cage is being filled. The adsorption energies could then be calculated with an unprecedented accuracy, which showed that the interaction of the molecules with the zeolite weakens as their number increases. By these methods, we have been able to highlight the primary role of Na+ cations in the interaction of water with zeolite, and inversely, the role of water in the displacement of cations when it is sufficiently solvated, allowing the passage between the α and β cages. This phenomenon is possible thanks to the inhomogeneous distribution of water molecules on the cationic sites, as shown by our AIMD simulations, which allows the formation of water clusters. These results are important because they help in understanding how the coverage of cationic sites by water will affect the adsorption of other molecules inside the Na-LTA zeolite.

Abstract
In this study, density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to investigate the adsorption mechanisms of toluene and water onto various cationic forms of Y zeolite (LiY, NaY, KY, CsY, CuY and AgY). Our computational investigation revealed that toluene is mainly adsorbed via π-interactions on alkalis exchanged Y zeolites, where the adsorbed toluene moiety interacts with a single cation for all cases with the exception of CsY, where two cations can simultaneously contribute to the adsorption of the toluene, hence leading to the highest interaction observed among the series. Furthermore, we find that the interaction energies of toluene increase while moving down in the alkaline series where interaction energies are 87.8, 105.5, 97.8, and 114.4 kJ/mol for LiY, NaY, KY and CsY, respectively. For zeolites based on transition metals (CuY and AgY), our calculations reveal a different adsorption mode where only one cation interacts with toluene through two carbon atoms of the aromatic ring with interaction energies of 147.0 and 131.5 kJ/mol for CuY and AgY, respectively. More importantly, we show that water presents no inhibitory effect on the adsorption of toluene, where interaction energies of this latter were 10 kJ/mol (LiY) to 47 kJ/mol (CsY) higher than those of water. Our results point out that LiY would be less efficient for the toluene/water separation while CuY, AgY and CsY would be the ideal candidates for this application.

Abstract
Hierarchical zeolites are regarded as promising catalysts due to their well-developed porosity, increased accessible surface area, and minimal diffusion constraints. Thus far, the focus has been on the creation of mesopores in zeolites, however, little is known about a microporosity upgrading and its effect on the diffusion and catalytic performance. Here the authors show that the "birth" of mesopore formation in faujasite (FAU) type zeolite starts by removing framework T atoms from the sodalite (SOD) cages followed by propagation throughout the crystals. This is evidenced by following the diffusion of xenon (Xe) in the mesoporous FAU zeolite prepared by unbiased leaching with NH4 F in comparison to the pristine FAU zeolite. A new diffusion pathway for the Xe in the mesoporous zeolite is proposed. Xenon first penetrates through the opened SOD cages and then diffuses to supercages of the mesoporous zeolite. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that Xe diffusion between SOD cage and supercage occurs only in hierarchical FAU structure with defect-contained six-member-ring separating these two types of cages. The catalytic performance of the mesoporous FAU zeolite further indicates that the upgraded microporosity facilitates the intracrystalline molecular traffic and increases the catalytic performance.

Abstract
A theoretical assessment of the o-nitrophenol adsorption on layered double hydroxides containing different metallic species (Ca-Al, Ni-Al and Zn-Al) was performed. Experimental o-nitrophenol adsorption isotherms obtained at different adsorption temperatures with these layered double hydroxides were analyzed using a statistical physics monolayer model. Model calculations showed that the o-nitrophenol aggregation could occur with a high degree. It was estimated that the o-nitrophenol adsorption implied a non-flat orientation on all adsorbent surfaces and this process was multi-molecular. It was also demonstrated that there was no significant difference on the o-nitrophenol adsorption capacities of tested adsorbents, which varied from 77 to 135, 95 to 122 and 74 and 130 mg/g for Ca-Al, Ni-Al and Zn-Al layered double hydroxides, respectively. This finding suggested that the incorporation of Ca-Al, Ni-Al and Zn-Al in the layered double hydroxide structure played a similar role to adsorb o-nitrophenol molecules from aqueous solution. Calculated adsorption energies and thermodynamic functions confirmed an exothermic adsorption with the presence of physical-based interaction forces. This paper highlights the importance of reliable theoretical calculations based on statistical physics theory to contribute in the understanding of the adsorption mechanisms of a relevant water pollutant using layered double hydroxides as promising adsorbents for industrial applications.
