The combined effect of polystyrene (PS) particles and triphenyltin chloride (TPTCl) to the green algae Chlorella pyrenoido s a was studied. The 96 h IC 50 of TPTCl to the green algae C. pyrenoidosa was 30.64 μg/L. The toxicity of PS particles to C. pyrenoidosa was size-dependent, with the 96 h IC 50 at 9.10 mg/L for 0.55 μm PS but no toxicity observed for 5.0 μm PS. The exposure to 0.55 μm PS led to damage on structure of algal cells, which could in turn cause inhibition on photosynthesis and population growth of the green algae. TPTCl concentrations in test medium were lowered by 15–19% at presence of 0.55 μm PS particles, indicating a reduced bioavailability of TPTCl. In spite of this reduced bioavailability, the presence of PS increased the toxicity of TPTCl, which might be attributed to facilitated uptake of TPTCl by the green algae after the damage of cell structure. The overall results of the present study provided important information on the effect of PS on the bioavailability and toxicity of TPTCl to phytoplankton species.

Owing to the characteristics of mineral paragenesis (equilibrium sequence of mineral phases), the hydrochloric acid leach liquors of Sn ores and Sn-containing waste materials typically contain large amounts of Pb. In this study, barium sulfate coprecipitation was employed to efficiently remove Pb from a tin chloride solution. The lead removal efficiency, reaction mechanism, and limitations were investigated by varying the Cl − and SO 4 2− concentrations. The results showed that the structural formula of the precipitates was (Ba x Pb y )(SO 4 ) 2 (x + y = 2), and its solubility product was in the range of 1 × 10 −12 –1 × 10 −13 , indicating that Pb 2+ and Ba 2+ were more easily precipitated in the form of complex salts. In addition, thermodynamic analysis revealed that when the Cl − concentration was <1 mol/L in the Pb 2+ –Sn 2+ –Cl − –H 2 O system, [Pb 2+ ] and [PbCl + ] were the primary species. These positively charged species were readily adsorbed onto the surface of BaSO 4 via electrostatic forces, resulting in a significant increase in the Pb content of (Ba x Pb y )(SO 4 ) 2 . Therefore, the Pb removal efficiency significantly improved as Cl − concentration decreased. The lead removal mechanism involves a combination of adsorption and replacement processes. Based on the aforementioned fundamental study, a method involving dechlorination and coprecipitation was proposed to remove lead from an acid leaching solution of Kaldo slag. With the dechlorination via distillation, the Pb removal efficiency could reach 99.9% at 1 mol/L Cl − and 0.5 mol/L SO 4 2− .

Marine organisms are naturally exposed to different environmental pollutants including organic pollutants and nanoparticles . The interactive effects between nanoparticles and other chemicals on aquatic organisms have raised concerns regarding the potential of nanomaterials as the vector for other chemicals. In the present study, the effect of nano zinc oxide (nZnO) on the bioavailability of triphenyltin chloride (TPTCl) was studied, and their combined acute and reproductive toxicity to the marine copepod Tigriopus japonicus were evaluated. At experimental concentration ranges of nZnO in this study, the percentage of dissolution of Zn 2+ was relative stable (from 62% to 66%), and nZnO did not affect the bioavailability of TPTCl to the copepods. The acute toxicity of binary mixtures of nZnO/TPT was equivalent to that of the mixture of Zn 2+ /TPT. In agreement with the decrease in TPTCl's LC 50 values at the presence of nZnO, their interacting effect was synergistic based on response addition response surface model, and the interacting parameter was modelled to be −1.43. In addition to acute toxicity test , reproductive toxicity tests revealed that exposure to nZnO and TPTCl didn't affect the successful mating rate and the number of nauplii in the 1st brood, but they extended the time for the eggs to hatch from 2.53 days to 3.94 and 3.64 days, respectively. The exposure to nZnO/TPTCl mixture delayed the time to hatch to 5.78 days.

Trimethyltin chloride (TMT) is a highly toxic organotin pollutant frequently found in aquatic environments, posing a significant threat to the ecological system. The kidney plays a vital role in the body's detoxification processes, and TMT present in the environment tends to accumulate in the kidneys. However, it remained unclear whether exposure to different doses of TMT could induce pyroptosis and immune dysfunction in grass carp kidney cells (CIK cells). For this purpose, after assessing the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of TMT on CIK cells, we established a model for exposure of CIK cells at varying concentrations of TMT. CIK cells were treated with various doses of TMT (2.5, 5, 10 μM) for 24 h. Oxidative stress levels were measured using kits and fluorescence methods, whereas the expression of related genes was verified through western blot and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The results indicated that TMT exposure led to oxidative stress, with increased levels of ROS, H 2 O 2 , MDA, and GSH, and inhibited activities of T-AOC, SOD, and CAT. It activated the NF-κB pathway, leading to the upregulation of NF-κB p65, NF-κB p50, GSDMD, NLRP3, ASC, and Caspase-1. Furthermore, TMT exposure also resulted in increased expression of cytokines (IL-18, IL-6, IL-2, IL-1β, and TNF-α) and decreased expression of antimicrobial peptides (LEAP2, HEPC, and β-defensin). In summary, exposure to TMT induces dose-dependent oxidative stress that activates the NF-κB pathway, leading to pyroptosis and immune dysfunction in grass carp CIK cells.

Polypyrrole (PPy)/bacterial cellulose (BC) composite membranes are a promising kind of lightweight and flexible electrodes for supercapacitors . Herein, we explored a facile and efficient electrostatic self-assembly approach to uniformly depositing anion-doped PPy onto positively charged SnCl 2 -modifed BC (SBC). The obtained PPy@SBC electrode exhibited a high areal capacitance of 5718 mF cm −2 at a current density of 0.5 mA cm −2 , a desirable capacitance retention of 83.1% at 5.0 mA cm −2 and excellent cycling stability (a capacitance retention of 86.8% after 10,000 cycles at 10 mA cm −2 ). A symmetric flexible supercapacitor was further assembled with the PPy@SBC electrodes, which delivered outstanding mechanical flexibility with negligible capacitance decay under different bent states. This study shows impressive potential in fabricating high-performance electrodes for flexible supercapacitors.

Triphenyltin chloride (TPhT) is an organotin compound that causes intensive toxicological risk to the environment and humans. A detection method with high sensitivity and stability is therefore desired to better detect TPhT. In this study, a novel SERS substrate was prepared by sputtering an ultra-thin Au layer on a honeycomb-like silver nanoarray fabricated via the nanosphere lithography method. The ultra-thin Au layer was formed by sputtering the intermittent Au nanoparticles on the silver nanoarray, resulting in bimetallic coupling with dramatically increased hotspots and extremely high SERS enhancement with an analytical enhancement factor (AEF) of 6.08 × 109 using Rhodamine 6G (R6G) as the probe molecule. Based on density functional theory (DFT) simulations, the Raman characteristic peaks of TPhT at 999 cm−1 and 655 cm−1 were selected for TPhT detection. The AEF of the SERS substrate HC5-AgAu was calculated to be 3.38 × 106 with the detection concentration of TPhT down to 10−10 M. The as-prepared honeycomb-like silver–gold bimetallic SERS substrate demonstrated great stability and sensitivity for TPhT detection, which might also be applied in monitoring many other environmental pollutants.

Tributyltin chloride (TBTC) is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant with various adverse effects on human health. Exosomes are cell - derived signaling and substance transport vesicles. This investigation aimed to explore whether exosomes could impact the toxic effects caused by TBTC via their transport function. Cytotoxicity, DNA and chromosome damage caused by TBTC on MCF-7 cells were analyzed with CCK-8, flow cytometry, comet assay and micronucleus tests, respectively. Exosomal characterization and quantitative analysis were performed with ultracentrifugation, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and bicinchoninic acid (BCA) methods. TBTC content in exosomes was detected with Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). The impacts of exosomal secretion on the toxic effects of TBTC were analyzed. Our data indicated that TBTC caused significant cytotoxicity, DNA and chromosome damage effects on MCF-7 cells, and a significantly increased exosomal secretion. Importantly, TBTC could be transported out of MCF-7 cells by exosomes. Further, when exosomal secretion was blocked with GW4869, the toxic effects of TBTC were significantly exacerbated. We concluded that TBTC promoted exosomal secretion, which in turn transported TBTC out of the source cells to alleviate its toxic effects. This investigation provided a novel insight into the role and mechanism of exosomal release under TBTC stress.

Levlinic acid (LA) and its derived γ-valerolactone (GVL) are the two important biomass derived platform molecules, which showed wide application in the fields of fine chemicals, drug and liquid fuel industrials. Considering the coupling of sequential steps for glucose to LA and GVL, selective production of LA and GVL via glucose one-pot conversion in water is an open challenge. Herein, we used metal chlorides as the acidic catalyst for glucose conversion to LA, obtaining the high yield of 77.8 C-mol% over SnCl 4 . Moreover, using the SnCl 4 and Ru/C as the combined catalyst, glucose or cellulose could be converted to GVL with the high yield of 60.1 or 57.9 C-mol% in the case of in situ hydrogenation by formic acid (the by-products during LA formation) decomposition. The formation of LA was responsible for the cooperative effect of BAS (Bronsted acid sites) and LAS (Lewis acid sites) of SnCl 4 for accelerating glucose isomerization, fructose dehydration followed by 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) rehydration, while the GVL production is relative to the highly efficient formic acid decomposition to H 2 followed by LA hydrogenation to GVL over Ru/C. This study provided an avenue for facile and highly efficient conversion of biomass and the derivatives to LA and GVL using commercial catalysts.

The incompatibility of the aldol condensation reaction of furfural (FF) and upstream FF conversion limits the direct production of cyclic biofuel intermediates (C10, C15) from lignocellulosic biomass. Herein, an efficient catalytic system comprised of choline chloride–formic acid–SnCl4·5H2O (ChCl-Fa-SnCl4) has been developed, which gives high intermediate yields of 92.03, 88.24, and 56.78%, respectively, from the one-pot conversion of FF xylose and corncob with cyclopentanone (CPO). These data are higher than the reported intermediate recovery of 61.55% observed using FF/CPO and a solid acid catalyst (Nafion resin) under solvent-free conditions and 44% using xylose/acetone and CrCl3/VCl3/[BMIM]Cl. Moreover, Sn(IV) and H+ ions in ChCl-Fa-SnCl4 contribute toward catalyzing the aldol condensation reaction, and far-infrared spectroscopy indicated that deep eutectic solvents may strengthen the coordination of Sn(IV) to the carbonyl group.

Although the collaborative therapy of chemotherapy (CT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is much more efficient for tumor treatment than monotherapies, premature leakage of drugs from nanocarriers and hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment (TME) result in systemic toxicity and suboptimal therapy efficiency. To overcome these limitations, we developed an intelligent nanoflower composite (termed FHCPC@MnO2) by coating functionalized polyphosphazene on superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoclusters and then growing MnO2 nanosheets as an outer shell. The FHCPC@MnO2 nanoflowers with multistage H2O2/pH/GSH-responsive properties could fully exploit TME characteristics, including supernormal glutathione (GSH) levels, low pH and high H2O2, to realize the specific release of drugs in tumors and maximum synergetic therapeutic effects. The MnO2 nanosheets can elevate O2 concentration by catalytic decomposition of H2O2 and can be simultaneously reduced to Mn2+ by overexpressed GSH in the acidic TME. Meanwhile, the inner polyphosphazene containing (bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-disulfide) is GSH- and pH-sensitively biodegradable to release the anticancer drug curcumin (CUR) and photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) in the TME. Therefore, the “triple-responsive” and synergetic strategy simultaneously endows the nanoflowers with specific drug release, relieving hypoxia and the antioxidant capability of the tumor and achieving significant optimization of CT and PDT. In addition, the resulting Mn2+ ions and Fe3O4 core enable in vivo T1/T2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), while the released Ce6 can simultaneously provide a fluorescence imaging (FL) function. Unsurprisingly, the intelligent nanoflowers exhibited remarkable multimodal theranostic performance both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting their great potential for precision medicine.

Direct catalytic transformation of xylan-type hemicelluloses to furfural in the aqueous system and the biphasic system were comparatively investigated under mild conditions. Screening of several promising chlorides for conversion of beech xylan in the aqueous system revealed the Lewis acid SnCl 4 was the most effective catalyst. Comparing to the single aqueous system, the bio-based 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF)/H 2 O biphasic system was more conducive to the synthesis of furfural, in which the highest furfural yield of 78.1% was achieved by using SnCl 4 as catalysts under the optimized reaction conditions (150 °C, 120 min). Additionally, the influences of xylan-type hemicelluloses with different chemical and structural features from beech, corncob and bagasse on the furfural production were studied. It was found that furfural yield to some extent was determined by the xylose content in hemicelluloses and also had relationships with the molecular weight of hemicelluloses and the degree of crystallization.

A large number of NH 3 emissions from industries, such as ammonia plant purge gas , tail gases of urea plants and ammonium molybdate plants, inevitably cause serious air pollution problems, such as fog and haze, which has raised extensive attentions worldwide. However, the commercial methods, like water scrubbing and acid scrubbing, substantially transfer the NH 3 pollute from gas phase to liquid or solid phase, which does not mean total elimination. How to realize efficiently separate and recover NH 3 form NH 3 -containing gas mixtures is still a great challenge. In order to develop efficient absorbents for NH 3 removal, a series of metal (copper (Cu), stannum (Sn), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), ferrum (Fe)) ionic liquids (MILs) were synthesized, and their physicochemical properties and NH 3 absorption performance were systematically investigated. The results implied that the incorporation of metal center into ILs has a great effect on NH 3 absorption. Among the investigated MILs, bis(1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium) copper tetrachloride salt ([Bmim] 2 [CuCl 4 ]) and bis(1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium) stannum tetrachloride salt ([Bmim] 2 [SnCl 4 ]) show excellent NH 3 absorption capacities up to 0.172 gNH 3 ·gIL −1 and 0.106 gNH 3 ·gIL −1 , respectively, which are far more than most of the conventional ILs. Moreover, the high selectivity for NH 3 /N 2 , NH 3 /CO 2 and NH 3 /O 2 of [Bmim] 2 [CuCl 4 ] and [Bmim] 2 [SnCl 4 ] indicated that these MILs can selectively separate NH 3 from NH 3 -containing gases. The absorption mechanism was further studied using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and quantitative chemical calculations. It was demonstrated that the chemical complexation between [Bmim] 2 [CuCl 4 ] and NH 3 plays a dominant role in NH 3 absorption, but the stronger hydrogen bonding between [Bmim] 2 [SnCl 4 ] and NH 3 enhances the absorption performance. In addition, [Bmim] 2 [SnCl 4 ] can keep good stability after five absorption and desorption cycles, implying this MIL shows great potentials as an efficient and reversible absorbent for NH 3 capture applications.
