The removal of sulfapyridine (SPY) by ferrate(VI) in aqueous solutions under a broad range of reaction conditions, including ferrate(VI) dosage, solution pH, natural organic matter and coexisting inorganic ions, was systematically investigated and the oxidation pathway of SPY by ferrate(VI) was deeply explored. Results showed that 500 µg/L of SPY was efficiently decomposed (86%) within 1 min by 5 mg/L ferrate(VI) at pH 5.6. The increment in ferrate(VI) dosage was surely favorable for SPY removal. The best SPY degradation was achieved at pH 5.6, under or above which the removal decreased. The introduction of inorganic ions in solutions retarded SPY removal. Ten oxidation intermediates were identified and the cleavages of C–S and S–N bonds might be the primary ways of SPY oxidation by ferrate(VI).

Pollutant degradation via periodate ( \({\text{IO}}_{4}^{-}\) ) and transitional metal oxides provides an economical, energy-efficient way for chemical oxidation process in environmental remediation. However, catalytic activation of periodate by manganese dioxide and the associated mechanism were barely investigated. In this study, four MnO 2 polymorphs (α-, β-, γ- and δ-MnO 2 ) were synthesized and tested to activate \({\text{IO}}_{4}^{-}\) for the degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The reactivity of different MnO 2 structures followed the order of α-MnO 2 > β-MnO 2 > γ-MnO 2 > δ-MnO 2 , suggesting that the particular crystalline structure in α-MnO 2 would exhibit higher activities via \({\text{IO}}_{4}^{-}\) activation. Herein, in α-MnO 2 / \({\text{IO}}_{4}^{-}\) system, 91.1% of SMX was eliminated within 30 min with degradation rate constant of 0.0649 min −1 , and the neutral pH exhibited higher efficiency in SMX degradation compared with acidic and alkaline conditions. Singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) was unveiled to be the dominant ROS according to the results of electron paramagnetic resonance, chemical probes and radical quenching experiments, whereas \({\mathrm{O}}_{2}^{\bullet -}\) and • OH were mainly acted as a free-radical precursor. Six oxidation products were identified by LC–MS, and the elimination of sulfonamide bond, hydroxylation and direct oxidation were found to be the important oxidation pathways. The study dedicates to the mechanistic study into periodate activation over alpha-MnO 2 and provides a novel catalytic activation for selective removal in aqueous contaminants.

Cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, β-methylstyrene and cinnamic acid are four important biomass 3-phenyl-2-propene compounds. In the field of perfume and organic synthesis, their thermal stability and oxidation pathways deserve attention. This paper reports a new attempt to investigate the thermal stability and reactivity by a custom-designed mini closed pressure vessel test (MCPVT). The pressure and temperature behaviors were measured by MCPVT under nitrogen and oxygen atmosphere. The temperature of initial oxygen absorption (Ta) and rapid oxidation (TR) were calculated. The results showed that four 3-phenyl-2-propene compounds were stable under nitrogen atmosphere. The Ta of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, β-methylstyrene, and cinnamic acid was 271.25 K, 292.375 K, 323.125 K, and 363.875 K, and their TR was 301.125 K, 332.75 K, 357.91 K, and 385.375 K, respectively. The oxidation reactivity order was derived to be cinnamaldehyde > cinnamyl alcohol > β-methylstyrene > cinnamic acid. The oxidation kinetics were determined using n versus time (n–t) plots, which showed a second-order reaction. Peroxide was determined by iodimetry, and the oxidation products were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that the peroxide value of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, β-methylstyrene, and cinnamic acid reached 18.88, 15.07, 9.62, and 4.24 mmol kg−1 at 373 K for 6 h, respectively. The common oxidation products of four 3-phenyl-2-propene compounds were benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, and epoxide, which resulted from the carbon–carbon double bond oxidation. The substituents' oxidation products were obtained from the oxidation of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, and β-methylstyrene. In particular, the difference is that no oxidation products of the carboxyl group of cinnamic acid were detected. The common oxidation products of the four 3-phenyl-2-propene compounds were benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, and epoxide, which resulted from the carbon–carbon double bond oxidation. The substituents' oxidation products were caught in the oxidation of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, and β-methylstyrene. In particular, the difference is that no oxidation products of the carboxyl group of cinnamic acid were detected. According to the complex oxidation products, important insights into the oxidation pathways were provided.

Polar microalgae, renowned for their exceptional adaptability in extreme environments, are vital for carbon fixation and nutrient cycling. To understand their metabolic resilience under low temperature and high light stress, we conducted an extensive biochemical and full-length transcriptome analysis of Arctic Chlorella ( Chlorella- Arc) and temperate Chlorella ( Chlorella- Temp). This research aimed to comprehensively assess Chlorella 's adaptability to the interactive effects of temperature and light stress. Under low-temperature stress, intense light inhibited Chlorella -Temp growth by 14.8 %, while it significantly promoted Chlorella -Arc growth by 88.8 %. The cold-adapted Chlorella -Arc demonstrates higher tolerance to high light stress. Elevated temperature (+0.80) and light (+0.47) directly increased cell density, revealing direct and indirect effects of temperature and light on Chlorella- Arc bioproducts via structural equation modeling. We then analyzed key molecules involved in lipid metabolism using orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant analysis, confirmed that Chlorella -Arc maintained a relatively constant fatty acids composition under low temperature and high light stress. Compared to its temperate counterpart, Chlorella -Arc exhibits unique adaptability by modulating polysaccharide composition, downregulating carbon fixation, reducing nitrogen absorption, and maintaining stable unsaturated fatty acid levels with a higher unsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio. Chlorella- Arc, a prime example of polar microalgae adaptability, exhibits unique metabolic responses. Compared to the low-temperature normal-light group, the high-light Chlorella demonstrates precise regulation of nitrogen uptake and carbon allocation, while activating multiple antioxidant pathways to mitigate the increase in ROS levels under light stress. Acclimated Chlorella- Arc tends to increase triacylglycerol accumulation, suggesting a shift in carbon flow towards lipid production. Our analyses reveal specialized adjustments, enabling survival in harsh conditions of low temperature and intense light. This research enhances our understanding of microalgal resilience in extreme environments, offers valuable insights into the utilization of polar microalgal bioproduct resources.

Developing efficient and eco-friendly technologies for treating the antibiotic wastewaters is crucial. At present, the catalysts with metal-nitrogen (M-N x ) coordination showed excellent Fenton-like performance but were always difficult to realize practical antibiotics degradation because of their complicated preparation methods and inferior stability. In this work, the Co-N x configuration was facilely reconstructed on the surface of Co 3 O 4 (Co-N x /Co 3 O 4 ), which exhibited superior catalytic activity and stability towards various antibiotics. DFT results indicated that stronger ETP oxidation will be triggered by the electron-donating pollutants since more electrons can be easily migrated from these pollutants to the Co-N x /Co 3 O 4 /PMS complex. The Co-N x /Co 3 O 4 /PMS system could maintain superior oxidation capacity, high catalytic stability and anti-interference due to (i) the strong nonradical ETP oxidation with superior degradation selectivity in Co-N x /Co 3 O 4 /PMS system, and (ii) the synchronously enhanced radical oxidation with high populations of non-selective radicals generated via activating PMS by the Co-N x /Co 3 O 4 . As a result, the synergies of synchronously enhanced dual oxidation pathways guaranteed the self-cleaning properties, maintaining 98 % of activity after eight cycles and stability across a wide pH range. Basically, these findings have significant implications for developing technologies for purifying antibiotic wastewater.

Erastin-treated bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bmMSCs) were prepared and used to compare the ferroptosis inhibitory bioactivities of four monostilbenes, including rhapontigenin (1a), isorhapontigenin (1b), piceatannol-3′-O-glucoside (1c), and rhapontin (1d). Their relative levels were 1c ≈ 1b > 1a ≈ 1d in 4,4-difluoro-5-(4-phenyl-1,3-butadienyl)-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene-3-undecanoic acid (C11-BODIPY), 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), and flow cytometric assays. The comparison highlighted two 4′-OH-containing monostilbenes (1c and 1b) in ferroptosis inhibitory bioactivity. Similar structure–activity relationships were also observed in antioxidant assays, including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazl radical (DPPH˙)-trapping, 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl 3-oxide radical (PTIO˙)-trapping, and Fe3+-reducing assays. UPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS analysis of the DPPH˙-trapping reaction of the monostilbenes revealed that they can inhibit ferroptosis in erastin-treated bmMSCs through a hydrogen donation-based antioxidant pathway. After hydrogen donation, these monostilbenes usually produce the corresponding stable dimers; additionally, the hydrogen donation potential was enhanced by the 4′-OH. The enhancement by 4′-OH can be attributed to the transannular resonance effect. This effect can be used to predict the inhibition potential of other π–π conjugative phenolics.

ABSTRACT The elimination of neonicotinoids (NEOs) from water has been a research priority due to their threats to human health and ecosystems. In this study, we established the heterogeneous peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation system using manganese catalyst (Mn NC) and cobalt catalyst (Co NC) to trigger the nonradical oxidation and synergistic oxidation pathway, respectively to remove NEOs. The results showed that the nonradical oxidation system exhibited superior NEOs degradation capability. The composition of organic pollutants in wastewater significantly impacted subsequent degradation processes. The charge distribution and reaction sites of various NEOs were analyzed using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, and it demonstrated the electron distribution and activity of NEOs were significantly influenced by the type and number of substituents. Nitro group (–NO 2 ) and cyanide group (–C N) were identified as strong electron-withdrawing groups and prone to be attacked by negatively charged radicals. The transformation of NEOs was analyzed, and result showed that the C and N sites adjacent to the nitro group and cyanide group were more susceptible to oxidation attacks. S and N atoms, which possess strong electronegativity and high electron cloud density, were identified as key active sites in the degradation pathway. The outcomes of this study provide valuable guidance for the oriented regulation of oxidation pathways towards efficient removal of NEOs in water.

In this work, we revealed a dual-pathway nonradical oxidation (NRO) system catalyzed by Ni single atom catalyst (NiN 4 ) accommodated in the carbon nitride substrate. The monatomic Ni coordinated with four N atoms (Ni-N 4 ) is determined as the dynamic catalytic center for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation, showing an exceptional specific rate constant of 3.34 min −1 g −2 L −2 (29.7 times that of CN/PMS system) in oxidizing bisphenol A and other refractory organics. In situ Raman, X-ray absorption, and electrochemical analyses as well as theoretical simulations demonstrate that the Ni-N 4 sites exhibit strong interaction with PMS benefited from the modulated electronic structures, resulting in nonradical surface-bonding active complexes (NiN 4 -PMS*) and deuterogenic high-valent Ni(IV)-Oxo species. The dual-pathway NRO process will spontaneously coordinate both electron transfer process via CN matrix and direct electron transfer by Ni(IV)-Oxo for selective organic oxidation with excellent anti-interference ability and adaptability.

Phosphorus (P) recovery from wastewater can be completed by iron-involved autotrophic denitrification via forming Fe(III)–P precipitates and/or adsorbing P onto Fe(III) oxyhydroxides. However, so far, most studies focused on the final P-containing products, while the P-capturing pathways in such a process remain unclear. In this work, autotrophic iron-dependent denitrification (AIDD) was used as a typical anoxic iron-involved P-capturing biosystem to investigate the main P recovery pathways. The AIDD biosystem showed a relatively stable capability of capturing P coupled with nitrate reduction. Direct formation of amorphous Fe(II)–P precipitates after the phosphate was fed, followed by microbially driven oxidation into Fe(III)–P minerals, was found to be the primary pathway for the P capture. In addition, adsorption of phosphate onto the formed iron oxyhydroxides also contributed to the P recovery. This work provides better understanding about recovering P in AIDD and iron-involved denitrification and highlights the important roles of iron oxidizers in the iron-related biological wastewater treatment processes.

Nonradical oxidation is a promising pathway for the selective removal of organic pollutants in complex wastewaters. However, traditional catalytic oxidation processes generally depend on free radicals to achieve favorable pollutant removal. Herein, we developed a nonradical pathway-governed catalytic oxidation process by applying an electric field to selectively activate a surface O2-complex on a MnO catalyst. On the surface of positively polarized MnO, adsorbed O2 was activated into positively charged peroxide species as the main reactive species. A Langmuir–Hinshelwood model based on irreversible bimolecular reaction between adsorbed reaction species was developed to kinetically differentiate the oxidation behaviors of twelve substituted phenolic compounds. The surface reaction rate constant was identified as the key parameter controlling the reaction kinetics. To unveil the substrate-dependent reaction rules of the nonradical pathway, quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) analysis was performed to correlate the surface reaction rate constants of phenolic compounds to their molecular features. A QSAR model was constructed by synergizing IE, EHOMO, and q(C–)n together to predict the reactivity of a phenolic compound in the nonradical pathway. Guided by the QSAR model, the catalytic oxidation process was applied for safe and energy-saving treatment of triclosan-contaminated water. This work is anticipated to provide valuable information for triggering and manipulating nonradical catalytic oxidation processes as well as understanding their selective oxidation nature.

This original research integrated lipidomics and HS-SPME-GC-MS to unravel lipid-flavor interplay in channel catfish under steaming (ST) and roasting (RO) processing. 1,085 kinds of lipids were identified using lipidomics, and phosphatidylcholine (PC) emerged as a critical flavor precursor, showing significant downregulation (Log2FC: -0.71 to -1.40) post-processing. Lipidomics revealed thermal-driven polarization, during which medium-chain fatty acids (C 8 –C 10 ) declined, while long-chain species (C 16 –C 22 ) increased. Correlation analysis highlighted PC’s strong association with aldehydes (hexanal, nonanal), confirmed by chemical simulations where PC (C18:2/C16:0) oxidation generated key flavor compounds like hexanal, octanal, acetone, which were highly consistent with key VOCs from authentic channel catfish flesh. Dual degradation pathways were identified: (1) glycerol backbone cleavage yielding acetone and (2) linoleic acid autoxidation via radical-mediated β-scission, producing hexanal and trans-2-heptenal. RO intensified aldehyde formation due to higher thermal stress. Notably, 1-octen-3-ol was absent in PC oxidation products, suggesting alternative enzymatic or non-lipid pathways. This work established PC as a pivotal flavor precursor and mapped its oxidation routes, offering novel insights into lipid-driven flavor chemistry in thermally processed fishery foods.

Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) in younger women (under 40) manifests as irregular periods, high follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and low estradiol (E2), often triggered by chemotherapy. Though mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy shows promise in treating POI, its exact mechanism remains unclear. This study reveals that human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUC-MSCs) can protect ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) from cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced ferroptosis, a form of cell death driven by iron accumulation. CTX, commonly used to induce POI animal model, triggered ferroptosis in GCs, while hUC-MSCs treatment mitigated this effect, both in vivo and in vitro . Further investigations using ferroptosis and autophagy inhibitors suggest that hUC-MSCs act by suppressing ferroptosis in GCs. Interestingly, hUC-MSCs activate a protective antioxidant pathway in GCs via NRF2, a stress-response regulator. Overall, our findings suggest that hUC-MSCs improve ovarian function in CTX-induced POI by reducing ferroptosis in GCs. This study not only clarifies the mechanism behind the benefits of hUC-MSCs but also strengthens the case for their clinical use in treating POI. Additionally, it opens up a new avenue for protecting ovaries from chemotherapy-induced damage by regulating ferroptosis.
