Anaerobically digested sludge-derived biochar was produced through pyrolysis at 700 °C, called BC700. BC700 was characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method. The factors influencing the adsorption process and the mechanism involved in adsorbing tricyclazole and 2,4-D in single and binary systems were revealed. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacities of BC700 for tricyclazole and 2,4-D in a single system were 11.86 mg/g and 7.89 mg/g, respectively. In the binary system, the theoretical saturated adsorptive capacities of tricyclazole and 2,4-D were 5.27 mg/g and 3.20 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption of tricyclazole and 2,4-D by BC700, whether in single or binary systems, matched closely with the Freundlich isotherm and the pseudo-second-order model. This study indicates that anaerobically digested sludge-derived biochar is potentially valuable for removing pesticide contamination in surface water.

A system comprising cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) and a fluorescent molecule (E)-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-(4-hydroxystyryl)pyridin-1-ium bromide (HPy) has been utilized to construct a fluorescent probe that is capable of detecting the pesticide tricyclazole (TC). A variety of techniques including 1 H NMR spectroscopy together with fluorescence experiments have been employed to investigate the host-guest properties of the Q[8]/HPy system in aqueous solution. Results indicate that the system forms the stable2:1 inclusion complex HPy 2 @Q[8], and that this inclusion complex imparts fluorescent quenching on HPy. The addition of a number of pesticides was found to have no obvious effect on the fluorescence, however on addition of tricycazole (TC), the fluorescence intensity underwent a dramatic enhancement. The linear relationship between the fluorescence intensity and the concentration of TC allowed for the facile detection of TC concentration in aqueous target solutions as well as in agricultural products. The detection limit was found to be 3.70 × 10 −8 mol L −1 .

Environmental context Photodegradation, a natural process for removing pesticides from water, is particularly important in rice fields with their large surface area and sunlight exposure. By studying two commonly used pesticides, we show that the properties of rice field water, such as dissolved organic matter, facilitate indirect photolytic processes while reducing direct photolysis. A better understanding of the natural degradation mechanisms for pesticides will inform their safer use in agriculture. Rice paddy fields (RFs) make ecologically important contributions to agricultural wetland ecosystems in south China. In recent years, the elevated use of pesticides has resulted in concerns over the water quality in RFs and their downstream aquatic environment. Photodegradation is important for the natural elimination of nonpoint source agricultural contaminants, and RF water provides an ideal environment for the photochemical removal of pesticides, owing to its large surface area and photic conditions. Therefore, in this study, the physical and photochemical properties of water collected from the irrigation area were investigated, along with the direct and indirect photodegradation of two commonly used pesticides in RFs, tricyclazole (TC) and pymetrozine (PYM). Results indicated that allochthonous-like dissolved organic matter (DOM) was abundant in the irrigation water, possibly originating from the decomposition of rice straw. Moreover, the light screen effect and the formation rate of singlet oxygen (1O2) and the triplet excited state of DOM (3DOM*) were generally increased in RF water, while the formation of HO• was marginally reduced. Evapoconcentration and photobleaching processes were found to correlate with crop leaf coverage and had a significant impact on the levels and compositions of water constituents. Finally, the photodegradation kinetics of TC and PYM further confirmed that RF water would facilitate indirect photolysis and reduce the direct photolysis of pesticides.

Silver-coated gold nanoparticles (Au@AgNPs) were optimized with different gold (Au) core sizes and modified surface with mercaptooctane (MCO) to determine fungicide residues in pear fruit extracts. The developed MCO/Au@AgNPs with a gold core size of 28 nm and silver shell thickness of 6 nm exhibited high sensitivity and significant enhancement of Raman scattering in detecting tricyclazole (TCZ) and thiram fungicides in standard and pear fruit samples. The detection limits for TCZ and thiram in the pear fruit extracts were 0.005 and 0.003 ppm with coefficients of determination of (R 2 ) of 0.9984 and 0.9971, percent recovery ranging from 82.7 to 107.4% and 80.7 to 109.8%, and relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.5 to 7.9% and 3.7 to 9.5%, respectively. Results showed that this easily prepared method could be employed as SERS active platforms for the rapid assessment of trace contaminants of agrochemicals in agriculture production.

In this work, we established a simple and cost-effective method of dispersing silver nanoparticles on the surface GO nanosheets using a one-pot hydrothermal process with the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as both surfactant and reducing agent. The systematic effects of synthesis conditions on the microstructure and formation of silver nanoparticles on the surface of rGO nanosheets were studied. Notably, the high-crystalline silver nanoparticles with a size of 15 nm were uniformly dispersed on the surface of rGO nanosheets when synthesis conditions were optimized at hydrothermal temperature 160 °C, pH = 9 and 10 mM of silver nitrate precursor. Our analysis results indicate that the as-prepared rGO-Ag nanocomposites exhibit the highest SERS efficiency and good sensitivity with methylene blue organic dye and tricyclazole pesticide. These can be explained by the electron interactions between silver nanoparticles and graphene oxide, which makes unique material advantages for the highly effective detection of pollutant molecules in the environmental monitoring applications.

The achievement of highly active and stable piezocatalysts is still challenging for the efficient transformation of mechanical energy to chemical energy. Herein various SnOxHy species were prepared by a simple precipitation–thermal treatment method and applied for the piezocatalytic degradation of tricyclazole. It is found that the catalytic activity depended on the thermal treatment and follows the order SnO(OH)2 (80 °C) > SnO2.55H1.1 (200 °C) > SnO2.3H0.6 (300 °C) > SnO2.22H0.24 (400 °C) > SnO2 (500 °C) > rutile SnO2 (800 °C). SnO(OH)2 (80 °C) boosted the degradation of tricyclazole and the reaction constant reached as high as 0.0354 min−1, 7.1 fold that of SnO2 (800 °C). The differences among these SnOxOHy piezocatalysts mainly stemmed from the dissimilarity of the relative content of SnO(OH)2. In addition to the Sn–O piezoelectric motif, SnO(OH)2 had rich hydrogen bond networks, which work like molecular springs under external pressure. Due to such a special structure, SnO(OH)2 had not only a super high piezoelectric constant (d33) of 409.1 pm V−1 among the currently reported piezomaterials, but also a 0.49 eV-higher valence band than SnO2, being beneficial to the generation of stronger oxidative ˙OH. This is the first example of inorganic hydrogen-bonded piezomaterials, which opens a new window to develop advanced piezocatalysts for highly efficient degradation of refractory pollutants by piezocatalysis.

Detection of pesticide residues is important for ensuring food safety, and it has assumed increased significance. Traditional analytical methods are known for being destructive and cost- and time-intensive. In this study, depth-profiling Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy (FTIR-PAS) was successfully used as an in situ, nondestructive, and rapid method for detecting tricyclazole residues on three metal surfaces (copper, aluminum, and iron) and subsequently, on the surfaces of fresh rice leaves and ripe husks. Four moving mirror velocities, that is, 0.32, 0.63, 0.95, and 1.90 cm s–1 were used for recording the spectra. The results indicated that the moving mirror velocity of 0.95 cm s–1 was optimal for depth profiling, and the obtained spectra showed a strong absorption band at around 1200 cm–1, corresponding to the C–N bond in tricyclazole. This band could be used for monitoring tricyclazole residues on plant surfaces. Principal component analysis confirmed the detection of tricyclazole on the basis of its spectral information. Considering the scanning depth and the thickness of the plant cuticle, FTIR-PAS can be an effective means for detecting and monitoring similar organonitrogen pesticide residues.

Triadimefon, a broad-spectrum, systemic fungicide used to protect agricultural crops is popular in China. However, sub-lethal effects of triadimefon on aquatic organisms remained poorly understood, and its risks to aquatic organisms were unclear. In the current study, thresholds for chronic toxicity to five aquatic organisms were determined and a PNEC based on reproductive fitness of nine aquatic organisms was derived through use of a species sensitivity distribution (SSD). NOECs, based on reproduction or inhabitation of growth, for Oryzias latipes , Daphnia magna , Brachionus calyciflorus , Heterocypris incongruens and Soirodela polyrhiza were 5, 25, 80, 320 and 500 μg L −1 , respectively, and the final PNEC derived was 3.66 μg L −1 . A screening-level hazard assessment of surface water based on both measured environment concentrations (ND∼5.22 μg L −1 ) in 3 lakes, 2 reservoirs and 1 river and predicted environment concentrations (0.36–65 μg L −1 ) in a simulated river and pond, identified unacceptable hazard to aquatic organisms posed by triadimefon, with maximum hazard quotients (HQs) of 1.43 and 17.8, respectively. Potential deleterious effects and hazards or risks of exposure of aquatic organisms from current patterns of use of triadimefon in surface water if of concern. Since HQs were relatively small and the benefits large, it is suggested that mitigations be applied to allow use while minimizing potential for adverse effects on aquatic organisms.

Two electrocatalysts Pt and RuO2 were directionally co-loaded on the nano-piezomaterial t-BaTiO3 by a two-step process: the alkali deposition–oxidation of RuO2 followed by the selective photo-reduction deposition of Pt. It was found that both Pt and RuO2 could considerably improve the piezo-degradation efficiency of t-BaTiO3 for pollutants. For the biorefractory pesticide tricyclazole, RuO2/t-BaTiO3/Pt possessed a piezo-degradation kinetic constant of 0.032 min−1. The rate constant was 3.11, 2.56 and 2.58 times that of t-BaTiO3, Pt/t-BaTiO3 and RuO2/t-BaTiO3, respectively. Moreover, the rate constant of RuO2/t-BaTiO3/Pt was greater than the sum (0.025 min−1) of the rate constants of two single-loaded materials, Pt/t-BaTiO3 and RuO2/t-BaTiO3. This indicates that co-loaded Pt and RuO2 in RuO2/t-BaTiO3/Pt have a synergistic enhancement effect on the piezo-degradation. By analyzing the kind and amount of the reactive oxygen species (˙OH, 1O2, ˙O2− and H2O2) from these nano-piezocatalytic systems, it was inferred that Pt acted as a cathodic- and anodic-like catalyst while RuO2 acted as an anodic-like catalyst. The mechanism of the synergistic catalysis for co-loaded Pt and RuO2 was similar to the principle of an electrolytic reactor, in which Pt and RuO2 were its two catalytic nano-electrodes and the power was from the piezo-potential of t-BaTiO3.

A novel method based on homogeneous liquid–liquid extraction with deep eutectic solvents (DES) under subzero-temperature conditions in combination with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the determination of chiral fungicide triadimefon (TF) and its metabolite triadimenol (TN) in water, fruit juice, vinegar, and fermented liquor was developed in this study. The method involved using deep eutectic solvents (DES) under subzero-temperature conditions in combination with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This novel technique, known as subzero-temperature homogeneous liquid–liquid extraction (STHLLE), offers several advantages, including high efficiency, time-saving, low-cost, and eco-friendliness. The enantiomers of chiral TF and TN were simultaneously separated and quantified using HPLC coupled with a Daicel Chiralpak OD-RH column. Various experimental parameters such as DES composition and volume, freezing condition, salt concentration, and pH were optimized to enhance the recoveries of the target analytes. Under the optimized conditions, spiked recoveries of six enantiomers (i.e., S-TF, R-TF, SR-TN, RS-TN, SS-TN, and RR-TN) in the water, fruit juice, vinegar, and fermented liquor samples were 82.2–100.1% with relative standard deviations of 0.4–10.1%. The current method demonstrated a detection range of 0.03–0.06 mg L−1 in the target analytes. This established technique exhibits potential for efficient and precise extraction and quantification of the enantiomers of TF and TN in water phase samples.

The present study describes the development of a highly effective approach for determining the residue distribution and dissipation of trifloxystrobin and tebuconazole, and their risk assessment in brown rice, husk, straw, and grain using high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The current study provides considerable novel information regarding the safe utilization of a mixture of trifloxystrobin and tebuconazole in paddy production. The samples demonstrated a range of mean recoveries between 72% and 86%, with a 1.1–9.2% relative standard deviation (RSD). The limits of quantification (LOQ) and half-lives (t1/2) for brown rice, husk, straw, and grain were, respectively, established to be 0.001–0.01 mg/kg and 4.1–7.7 days. The concentrations of terminal residues in the brown rice, husk, straw, and grain were, respectively, found to be 0.02–0.05, 0.03–0.11, 0.02–0.07, and 0.02–0.05 mg/kg after being treated twice at 168.75 g a.i./ha with 21 and 28 days of pre-harvest intervals (PHIs). Trifloxystrobin and tebuconazole presented a non-negligible chronic risk to human subjects, as evidenced by a risk quotient (RQ) value of less than 1.Keywords:trifloxystrobin and tebuconazole;paddy;residue distribution;risk assessment;dissipation dynamics

The solubilization laws of pollutants in micelles and their separation efficiency are very important in the successfully efficient application of micellar enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF). The solubilization behavior of o -toluidine (OT) and tricyclazole (TC) into sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles in MEUF was studied using nonlinear equation sets for concentration analysis, which resolved the issue on the overlap of absorption spectra of multicomponent compounds restricting the application of conventional ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopic method. The solubilization isotherms for both pollutants could be best explained by the Langmuir-Freudlich model ( R 2 >0.99) followed by the modes of Langmuir and Freudlich, inferring the complexity of solubilization mechanism and solubilization advantage of monolayer over multilayer. The calculated thermodynamic parameters ( ΔG 0 , ΔH 0 and ΔS 0 ) indicated that this process was endothermic and spontaneous. The solubilization of OT and TC well followed the pseudo second-order and pseudo first-order kinetics, respectively. The separation and recovery of SDS solubilizing these two pollutants were also investigated through lowering solution temperature to 2 °C followed by centrifugation. The best recovery rate of about 66% for SDS was achieved containing 10 and 5% of each initial amount of OT and TC, respectively, at near-neutral solution pH value. The recovery of SDS could decrease to some extent under alkaline and acidic conditions.
