Abstract
Nanoparticles can be used as inhibitory agents against various microorganisms, including bacteria, algae, archaea, fungi, and a huge class of viruses. The mechanism of action includes inhibiting the function of the cell membrane/stopping the synthesis of the cell membrane, disturbing the transduction of energy, producing toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), and inhibiting or reducing RNA and DNA production. Various nanomaterials, including different metallic, silicon, and carbon-based nanomaterials and nanoarchitectures, have been successfully used against different viruses. Recent research strongly agrees that these nanoarchitecture-based virucidal materials (nano-antivirals) have shown activity in the solid state. Therefore, they are very useful in the development of several products, such as fabric and high-touch surfaces. This review thoroughly and critically identifies recently developed nano-antivirals and their products, nano-antiviral deposition methods on various substrates, and possible mechanisms of action. By considering the commercial viability of nano-antivirals, recommendations are made to develop scalable and sustainable nano-antiviral products with contact-killing properties.

Natural and anthropogenic origin of metallic contamination and health risk assessment: A hydro-geochemical study of Sehwan Sharif, Pakistan. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 300:134611. [PMID: 35436458 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.134611] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Revised: 04/04/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Heavy metal contamination in groundwater is a serious threat to the environment and therefore its proper monitoring is a matter of great concern these days. In the present research, groundwater samples from Sehwan Sharif district Jamshoro, Pakistan were collected to estimate the concentration of various elements including potentially hazardous metals. Statistical analysis of the collected data based on Pearson co-relation metal clustering and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) divides the elements into three groups; Group I contains As, Cu, Ni, and Cd, Group II contains Mn, Fe, B, and Cr and Group III contains Pb and Zn. The elements Cu, Ni, As, Pb, Cd, and Zn found with higher RSD values demonstrate their anthropogenic origin whereas the lower concentration of Mn, Fe, B, and Cr indicate their natural origin (Tepanosyan et al., 2016). The histograms and box-plots of Mn, Fe, B and Cr were found normally distributed while abnormal for Cu, Ni, Pb, As, Cd and Zn. The HQs of these elements indicate their non-carcinogenic risks. However, results of individual metallic behavior indicate the highest HQ measured for B followed by HQs for Cu, and As. The toxic effects of investigated metal (loid)s calculated using HI were found to be 1.58 for adults and 1.35 for the child which is considered the medium chromic risk and cancer risk. About the toxicity of these heavy metals, their cancer risk was assessed on the levels of Cd, As, and Cr in groundwater. The carcinogenic risk of As was found to be 2.78 × 10-4 and 1.62 × 10-3 for child and adult, respectively. Furthermore, the values of this carcinogenic risk are 2.64 × 10-6 and 1.54 × 10-5 for Cd while 4.24 × 10-3 and 2.48 × 10-2 for Cr in child and adult, respectively. Since cancer risk exceeded the target risk of 1 × 10-4 for As and Cr in adults and children, it can thus be considered 'non-acceptable'. The Geographic Information System (GIS) based maps were prepared using Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation which showed the Spatial distribution of all elements throughout Sehwan Sharif from different sources of environment. Spatial maps of elements produced by ArcGIS show the hotspots of potentially hazardous elements such as the highest concentration of Pb, As, Zn, Cu, Ni, and Cd were found in urban areas of Sehwan Sharif district Jamshoro, Pakistan.

Abstract
2,4,6-Trichlorophenol (2,4,6 TCP) is one of the hazardous toxicants, which has severe impacts on the environment and human health. This study is designed to develop a highly sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor based on CuO nanostructures for the detection of 2,4,6 TCP. The CuO nanostructures were synthesized through an aqueous chemical growth method and characterized by versatile analytical techniques, for example, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, energy-dispersive spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction. The characterization tools revealed a high crystalline nature, exceptional phase purity, nanoball morphology with an average size of around 18.7 nm for the CuO nanostructures. The synthesized material was used to modify a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with the help of Nafion as a binder to improve its efficiency and sensitivity. The CuO/Nafion/GCE was proven to be a potential sensor for the determination of 2,4,6 TCP under optimized conditions at a scan rate of 70 mV/s, potential range of 0.1-1.0 V, and phosphate buffer of neutral pH as the supporting electrolyte. The linear range for 2,4,6 TCP was set from (1 to 120 μM) with a low limit of detection value calculated to be 0.046 μM. The developed sensor was effectively applied for water samples with acceptable recovery values from 95.9 to 100.6%.

Abstract
Pharmaceutically active compounds like diclofenac (DFS), ibuprofen (IBP), and other drugs that persist in the environment are listed as emerging contaminants. These escape from normal wastewater treatment plants and find their way to water streams; therefore, alternate treatment processes are needed. Herein, a sorbent material is reported that is prepared through hydrotermal carbonization from dried fruit powder of Zizipus mauritiana L. (HTC-ZM) and applied for simultaneous removal of DFS and IBP. Carbonized material (HTC-ZM) was found as agglomerates of approximately 1 μm particle size with surface area of 1160 m2/g having oxygen functional groups (e.g., COO, O, C=O) on surface. Simultaneous removal of IBP and DFS onto HTC-ZM was studied using response surface methodology with a set of 18 experiments using factors such as pH, amount of sorbent, contact time, and sorbate concentration. Maximum removal efficiency was obtained 88% and 97% for DFS and for IBP, respectively, with adsorption capacity of 2.03 mmol g-1 for DFS and 2.54 mmol g-1 for IBP. Kinetics modeling and "mean free energy" values predicted that sorption is mainly governed by physical interactions followed by "pore filling" mechanism for uptake of DFS and IBP.

Abstract
Recently, an increasing interest has been observed in ionic liquids (ILs) due to their potentialities in various chemical processes. ILs have some unique properties making them excellent additives in CE. In this work a simple, rapid, and reliable CZE method has been developed and validated using 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMIM-PF6 ) ionic liquid as a buffer additive for the determination/separation of five flavonoids including hesperedin, epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and morin using photodiode array (PDA) detector. The effect of several parameters such as concentration and pH of the running buffer, applied voltage, and concentration of ionic liquid were optimized. CZE at 25°C with 25 mM borate buffer of pH 9.0 at an applied voltage of 17 kV by adding 17.5 mM of IL was found to be suitable for the separation/determination of all five analytes within 08 min. Validation of the method was performed in terms of linearity, accuracy, precision, and limit of detection and quantification. The calibration curves were plotted in the concentration range of 1-200 μg/mL for all five analytes. The response was linear with R2 = 0.990 for EC, chrysin, and hesperidin, 0.992 for morin, and 0.988 for EGCG. LOD and LOQ were obtained within the range of 0.4-0.5 and 1.4-1.7 μg/mL, respectively. The proposed method showed good reproducibility with RSD of less than 3% for both migration time and peak height. The method was successfully applied for the determination of flavonoids from citrus fruits and tea samples.

Abstract
Cephalosporins type antibiotics are widely used to treat infectious diseases. Their determination is not only important in blood/serum of patients under treatment but also in diverse matrices like wastewaters, milk etc. as contaminant. Keeping in view the need, a new high performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of three cephalosporins (cefradine, cefuroxime and cefotaxime) has been developed. Separation was performed on an ODS column with binary solvent elution of aqueous formic acid (0.05%) and methanol in the ratio of 45: 55 (v/v) at a flow rate of 1 mL min-1 and UV detection at 260 nm. Under optimised conditions, all three cephalosporins were baseline separated within 5 min. Linear responses for cefradine 5–20 μg mL-1, cefuroxime 0.5-15 μg mL-1 and cefotaxime 1.0-20 μg mL-1 were established. LOD of 0.05-0.25 μg mL-1 after preconcentration was achieved. The method was applied to serum samples of patients under treatment with these antibiotics and to screen the selected cephalosporins from hospital wastewater and milk samples. Moreover, method was applied to study stability of aqueous solutions and acid/base induced degradation of all three drugs.

Abstract
Micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) was examined for the separation and determination of Mo(VI), Cr(VI), Ni(II), Pd(II), and Co(III) as diethyl dithiocarbamate (DDTC) chelates. The separation was achieved from fused silica capillary (52 cm × 75 μm id) with effective length 40 cm, background electrolyte (BGE) borate buffer pH 9.1 (25 mM), CTAB 30% (100 mM), and 1% butanol in methanol (70 : 30 : 5 v/v/v) with applied voltage of −10 kV using reverse polarity. The photodiode array detection was achieved at 225 nm. The linear calibration for each of the element was obtained within 0.16–10 μg/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) 0.005–0.0167 μg/mL. The separation and determination was repeatable with relative standard deviation (RSD) within 2.4–3.3% (n = 4) in terms of migration time and peak height/peak area. The method was applied for the determination of Mo(VI) from potatoes and almond, Ni(II) from hydrogenated vegetable oil, and Co(III) from pharmaceutical preparations with RSD within 3.9%. The results obtained were checked by standard addition and rechecked by atomic absorption spectrometry.

Abstract
A simple and sensitive method based on solid phase extraction (SPE) on acetyl acetone modified XAD-16 has been established for separation of Cr (III) and Cr (VI) from and industrial water samples. Two forms of chromium showed different exchange capacities at different pH values, viz. Cr (III) selectively retained at pH 5-7 whereas Cr (VI) retained at pH 1. Hence complete separation of the two forms of chromium is possible. Retained species were eluted with 5 mL of 2 mol L(-1) HNO(3) and 2 mol L(-1) NaOH. The detection limit of 0.02 and 0.014 microg mL(-1) was achieved for Cr (III) and Cr (VI), respectively, with an enrichment factor of 100 and 140. Various kinetic and thermodynamic parameters were also determined. The metal ion concentration was measured by atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. The possible retention mechanism is also discussed. The method was successfully applied for the speciation of chromium in industrial water samples.

The ability of sawdust (treated and untreated) waste, a waste material derived from the commercial processing of cedrus deodar wood for furniture production, to remove/preconcentrate Cd(II) ions from aqueous solution was determined. Sorption was found to be rapid (approximately 97% within 8 min). The binding of metal ions was found to be pH dependent, optimal sorption accruing at around pH 4-8. Potentiometric titrations of sawdust revealed two distinct pK(a) values, the first having the value similar to carboxylic groups (3.3-4.8) and second comparable with that of amines (8.53-10.2) with the densities 1.99 x 10(-4) and 7.94 x 10(-5), respectively. Retained Cd(II) ions were eluted with 5 ml of 0.1 mol l(-1) HCl. Detection limit of 0.016 microg ml(-1) was achieved with enrichment factors of 120. Recovery was quantitative using sample volume of 600 ml. The Langmuir and D-R isotherm equations were used to describe partitioning behavior for the system at different temperatures. Kinetic and thermodynamic behavior of sawdust for Cd(II) ions removal was also studied.

Enrichment of Pb(II) ions using phthalic acid functionalized XAD-16 resin as a sorbent. J Colloid Interface Sci 2005; 291:84-91. [PMID: 15963526 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2005.04.112] [Citation(s) in RCA: 52] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2005] [Revised: 04/29/2005] [Accepted: 04/30/2005] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
A simple and reliable method has been developed using polymeric material containing phthalic acid as a chelating agent to concentrate ultratrace amounts of lead ions in aqueous solutions. After characterization by CHN, IR, and thermal studies, the static and dynamic sorption behavior of Pb(II) ions onto new synthetic resin has been investigated. The sorption has been optimized with respect to pH, shaking speed, and contact time between the two phases. Maximum sorption is achieved from solution of pH 5-8 after 10 min agitation time. The lowest concentration for quantitative recovery is 5.8 ng cm(-3) with a preconcentration factor of approximately 850. The kinetics of sorption follows the first-order rate equation with the rate constant k=0.58+/-0.04 min(-1). The variation of the equilibrium constant K(c) with temperature between 10 and 50 degrees C yields values of DeltaH, 52.4+/-1.65 kJmol(-1), DeltaS, 186+/-5.21 Jmol(-1)K(-1), and DeltaG(303K), -4.15+/-0.002 kJmol(-1). The sorption data of Pb(II) ions in the concentration range from 2.41x10(-6) to 1.44x10(-4) molL(-1) follows the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherms at all temperatures investigated. The sorption of Pb(II) ions onto synthesized resin in the presence of common anions and cations has also been measured. The possible sorption mechanism of Pb(II) ions onto phthalic acid modified XAD-16 is also discussed. The sorption procedure is utilized to preconcentrate Pb(II) ions prior to their determination in automobile exhaust particulates by atomic absorption spectrometry using direct and standard addition methods.

Preconcentration and separation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) using sawdust as a sorbent. Anal Bioanal Chem 2005; 383:619-24. [PMID: 16184363 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-005-3391-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2005] [Revised: 06/10/2005] [Accepted: 06/14/2005] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
A simple, inexpensive method based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) on sawdust from Cedrus deodera has been developed for speciation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in environmental water samples. Because different exchange capacities were observed for the two forms of chromium at different pH-Cr(III) was selectively retained at pH 3 to 4 whereas Cr(VI) was retained at pH 1-complete separation of the two forms of chromium is possible. Retained species were eluted with 2.5 mL 0.1 mol L(-1) HCl and 0.1 mol L(-1) NaOH. Detection limits of 0.05 and 0.04 microg mL(-1) were achieved for Cr(III) and Cr(VI), respectively, with enrichment factors of 100 and 80. Recovery was quantitative using 250 mL sample volume for Cr(III) and 200 mL for Cr(VI). Different kinetic and thermodynamic properties that affect sorption of the chromium species on the sawdust were also determined. Metal ion concentration was measured as the Cr(VI)-diphenylcarbazide complex by UV-visible spectroscopy. The method was successfully applied for speciation of chromium in environmental and industrial water samples.

Abstract
A simple and reliable method has been developed using styrene-divinylbenzene-based polymeric material containing 1-nitroso-2-naphthol as chelating agent, to concentrate ultratrace amounts of Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions in aqueous samples. Sorption of both the ions on the new synthetic resin under static and dynamic conditions has been investigated. The sorption has been optimized with respect to pH, shaking and contact time of two phases. Maximum sorption has been achieved from solution of pH 5-8 after 8 min of agitation. Total saturation capacities were 516 ± 2 and 316 ± 2.5 μmol g-1 for Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions, respectively. The lowest concentration for quantitative recovery (98 ± 1%) is 1.33 and 5 ppb with the preconcentration factor of 750 and 200 for Ni(II) and Cu(II), respectively. Monitoring of the influence of diverse ions on the sorption of metal ions has revealed that phosphate, hydrogencarbonate and citrate reduce the sorption to some extent. Under optimum conditions the sorption data followed Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms. The kinetics and thermodynamics of sorption are studied in detail. The sorption procedure is utilized to preconcentrate these ions prior to their determination in tea, human hair, and tap water samples by atomic absorption spectrometry using direct and standard addition methods.
