Since the first reportal on decamethylcucurbit[5]uril (Me10Q[5]) in 1992, substituted cucurbit[n]urils have attracted considerable research interest. In this study, the host–guest modes between the tetramethyl cucurbit[6]uril (TMeQ[6]) as a host and 4-chloroaniline and 4,4′-diaminostilbene (G1 and G2) as guests were investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR, ITC, UV-Vis spectrum, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analyses. The experimental results showed that TMeQ[6] formed a 1 : 1 inclusion compound with G1, and the carbonyl portal of TMeQ[6] formed a 1 : 1 self-assembly with G2. Further, multi-dimensional supramolecular frameworks were formed driven by weak interaction forces in the system (hydrogen bonding, C–H⋯π interactions, ion–dipole interactions, and dipole–dipole interactions).

4-Chloroaniline (4-CAN) plays an important role in chemical and industrial production. However, it remains a challenge to avoid the hydrogenation of the C–Cl bond in the synthesis process to improve selectivity under high activity conditions. In this study, we in situ fabricated ruthenium nanoparticles (Ru NPs) containing vacancies inserted into porous carbon (Ru@C-2) as a highly efficient catalyst for the catalytic hydrogenation of 4-chloronitrobenzene (4-CNB) with remarkable conversion (99.9%), selectivity (99.9%), and stability. Experiments and theoretical calculations indicate that the appropriate Ru vacancies affect the charge distribution of the Ru@C-2 catalyst, promote the electron transfer between the Ru metal and support, and increase the active sites of the Ru metal, thus facilitating the adsorption of 4-CNB and the desorption of 4-CAN to improve the activity and stability of the catalyst. This study can provide some enlightenment for the development of new 4-CNB hydrogenation catalysts.

Aniline compounds (ACs) and microplastics (MPs) are emerging contaminants that frequently co-occur in industrial wastewater and soil-groundwater systems. However, their co-transport mechanisms and in particular the role of MPs as carriers to enhance ACs transport remain unclear. This study employs adsorption and column experiments to systematically analyze the adsorption characteristics and mechanisms of polyacrylonitrile microplastics (PANMPs) for aniline and p-chloroaniline. It also examines the effects of key parameters, such as flow rates, pH, and IS, on the transport behavior of ACs in the presence of MPs, thereby offering new insights into their environmental fate. The adsorption experiments revealed that the adsorption of MPs onto ACs follows a multilayer physical adsorption mechanism, with enhanced adsorption capacity observed at lower pH and higher ionic strength (IS). Column transport experiments demonstrated that PANMPs significantly promote ACs migration. Notably, pH and IS modulated the co-transport behavior by altering the adsorption affinity between MPs and ACs, thereby enhancing the disparity in their transport behavior. Furthermore, the greater mobility of PANMPs with increasing flow rates led to a greater extent of ACs transport in the sand column. These findings are of great significance for understanding the transport behavior and fate of MPs and ACs in soil-groundwater.

Anaerobic biotechnology for wastewaters treatment can nowadays be considered as state of the art methods. Nonetheless, this technology exhibits certain inherent limitations when employed for industrial wastewater treatment, encompassing elevated substrate consumption, diminished electron transfer efficiency, and compromised system stability. To address the above issues, increasing interest is being given to the potential of using conductive non-biological materials, e,g., iron sulfide (FeS), as a readily accessible electron donor and electron shuttle in the biological decontamination process. In this study, Mackinawite nanoparticles (FeS NPs) were studied for their ability to serve as electron donors for p -chloronitrobenzene ( p -CNB) anaerobic reduction within a coupled system. This coupled system achieved an impressive p -CNB removal efficiency of 78.3 ± 2.9% at a FeS NPs dosage of 1 mg/L, surpassing the efficiencies of 62.1 ± 1.5% of abiotic and 30.6 ± 1.6% of biotic control systems, respectively. Notably, the coupled system exhibited exclusive formation of aniline (AN), indicating the partial dechlorination of p -CNB. The improvements observed in the coupled system were attributed to the increased activity in the electron transport system (ETS), which enhanced the sludge conductivity and nitroaromatic reductases activity. The analysis of equivalent electron donors confirmed that the S 2- ions dominated the anaerobic reduction of p -CNB in the coupled system. However, the anaerobic reduction of p -CNB would be adversely inhibited when the FeS NPs dosage exceeded 5 g/L. In a continuous operation, the p -CNB concentration and HRT were optimized as 125 mg/L and 40 h, respectively, resulting in an outstanding p -CNB removal efficiency exceeding 94.0% after 160 days. During the anaerobic reduction process, as contributed by the predominant bacterium of Thiobacillus with a 6.6% relative abundance, a mass of p -chloroaniline ( p -CAN) and AN were generated. Additionally, Desulfomonile was emerged with abundances ranging from 0.3 to 0.7%, which was also beneficial for the reduction of p -CNB to AN. The long-term stable performance of the coupled system highlighted that anaerobic technology mediated by FeS NPs has a promising potential for the treatment of wastewater containing chlorinated nitroaromatic compounds, especially without the aid of organic co-substrates.

Triclocarban (TCC), a persistent antimicrobial compound widely present in municipal wastewater, poses potential risks to biological nitrogen removal processes. However, the potential risks posed by TCC to advanced treatment processes—particularly sulfur-metabolism biofilm reactor—remain poorly understood and require further elucidation. This study investigated the impact of TCC on sulfur-metabolism biofilm base on sulfur-metabolism biofilm reactor, focusing on nitrogen removal performance, TCC transformation pathways, and microbial community dynamics. The results showed that sulfur-metabolism biofilm maintained stable nitrogen removal efficiency under trace TCC (≤ 25 μg/L) stress with nitrate removal improved from 93 % to 98 %, whereas performance declined significantly at 100 μg/L, reducing nitrate removal to 81.8 ± 3.9 % and increasing effluent NO 2 ⁻-N and N 2 O-N by 6.0- and 28.0-fold, respectively. Functional predictions via FAPROTAX suggested TCC-induced alterations in sulfur and nitrogen metabolic pathways. In addition, TCC and its transformation intermediates (MCC, DCC, NCC, 3,4-DCA, 4-CA) accumulated in the biofilm. Network analysis revealed syntrophic interactions between sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (e.g., Sulfurisoma and Sulfuritalea ) and hydrogenase-rich TCC degraders (e.g., Unclassified Chloroflexi ). These findings highlight the potential of sulfur-metabolism biofilm to achieve simultaneous nitrogen removal and micropollutant transformation in low-carbon, sulfur-rich wastewater environments, offering a sustainable solution for advanced wastewater treatment systems.

3,5-Dichloroaniline (3,5-DCA) is extensively used in synthesizing dicarboximide fungicides, medical compounds and dyes. Due to its widespread use in agriculture and industry, 3,5-DCA is often detected in groundwater, wastewater, sediments and soil, posing great risk to animals and humans. However, the genes and enzymes involved in 3,5-DCA degradation remain unidentified. In this study, 3,5-DCA-degrading activated sludge was obtained through 90 days of alternating anaerobic-anoxic acclimation. Microbial community analysis and further study revealed that Dehalobacter sp. DH-1 (OTU10) can convert 3,5-DCA to 3-chloroaniline anaerobically. Pseudomonas sp. DCA-1 (OTU58) can degrade 3,5-DCA, 3-chloroaniline and 2,5-dichloroaniline aerobically. Two gene clusters, ddoA1A2A3A4 and ddoBCDE , responsible for 3,5-DCA degradation, were identified via transcriptome analysis and heterologous expression. The dioxygenase genes of cluster ddoA1A2A3A4 convert 3,5-DCA to 3,5-dichlorocatechol, while those of cluster ddoBCDE mineralize the latter. Ultimately, the iprodione-degrading gene cluster ipaH-ddaH-duaH (responsible for sequential hydrolysis of the dicarboximide fungicide iprodione to 3,5-DCA) was introduced into strain DCA-1 to construct a genetically engineered microorganism, named strain IHC-DCA-1, that is capable of completely degrading iprodione. This study reveals the degradation mechanism of 3,5-DCA and provides potential strains to remediate 3,5-DCA and iprodione in the environment.

Accurate, reliable, and sensitive methods for the determination of eight metabolites of p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB) were developed based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography − quadrupole − orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS). The free and conjugated forms of metabolites were determined before and after urine samples were hydrolyzed with acid. Subsequently, three solid phase extraction steps were used for concentration and purification. The calibration curves of the eight metabolites exhibited good linearity with an R 2 of >0.999, and the precision was good as well, with the coefficient of variations of intra-day and inter-day being lower than 7.0 % and 8.5 %, respectively. Analytical accuracy for all metabolites varied within ranges of 76.0–102.9 %, and the limit of detection and limit of quantification of all the metabolites varied within ranges of 0.2–7.7 μg/L and 0.6–25.6 μg/L in human urine, respectively. In addition, the application potential of the proposed methods were evaluated by applying them to the determination of metabolites in the urine of workers exposed to p-CNB, and these results showed that these methods were accurate, reliable, and sensitive, which makes them an excellent choice for detecting the metabolites of p-CNB in the urine of exposed workers.

In this paper, three imidazole- and C18- bifunctional silica stationary phases (Sil-Im-C18) were prepared by adjusting introduction interval of octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODS) and 3-imidazol-1-ylpropyl(trimethoxy)silane (TMPImS), which can be used for reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) and ion exchange chromatography (IEC) with adjustable performance. The successful preparation of Sil-Im-C18 were confirmed by the characterizations of elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and contact angle (CA). Chromatographic performance of Sil-Im-C18 were evaluated by the separation of Tanaka test mixture, alkylbenzenes, linear PAHs and a set of analytes with different properties (uracil, phenol, 1,2-dinitrobenzene and naphthalene), and compared with commonly used C18 column. It was found that the chromatographic performance of Sil-Im-C18 changed significantly with the difference in bonding amount of imidazole and C18. Sil-Im-C18 demonstrated the excellent separation performance towards polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phenylesters, phenylamines , phenols and inorganic anions, and notably, nucleobases and nucleosides can be separated using pure water as mobile phases . The van Deemter plot showed that the column efficiency of Sil-Im-C18-3 was 64,933 plate· m − 1 for naphthalene, indicated that Sil-Im-C18 was reasonably chromatographic columns. The RSD values of retention time were 0.22 %-0.61 % for 10 needles alkylbenzenes injected continuously at 50 °C to investigate thermal stability and repeatability, all the fluctuations of k of naphthalene were less than 2.3 % for Sil-Im-C18-1 during flushing 24 h with the mobile phase at different pH values (pH = 3 and 8), the retention time of alkylbenzenes were almost same for Sil-Im-C18-1 at different time, the RSD values of retention time of alkylbenzenes were 0.45 %-2.28 % for two batches Sil-Im-C18-1, revealing the excellent repeatability, thermal stability, durability and reproducibility of Sil-Im-C18, and implying a commercial prospect.

In this study, carbon materials with different dimensions, including the typical one-dimensional (1D) carbon nanotube (CNT), two-dimensional (2D) graphene (GF), and three-dimensional (3D) activated carbon (AC), were investigated as a support for Pt catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of 3,4-dichloronitrobenzene (3,4-DCNB) to 3,4-dichloroaniline (3,4-DCAN). Notably, the Pt/CNT catalyst with the lowest dimension exhibited the best conversion of 3,4-DCNB under mild reaction conditions, followed by Pt/GF. Comprehensive characterizations, including XRD, TEM, XPS, and in situ CO DRIFTS, reveal that the dimension of carbon supports plays an important role in the particle size and electronic properties of Pt species, consequently affecting the catalytic performances of Pt catalysts. According to the results, electron-deficient Pt particles with small sizes are more favorable for the hydrogenation of 3,4-DCNB to 3,4-DCAN. In addition, dynamic tests and in situ DRIFTS of 3,4-DCNB indicated that the carbonaceous supports will largely influence the adsorption and activation capacity of the Pt catalysts, so that Pt loaded on CNT and GF are superior to that on the AC. We believe this study will provide good guidance for designing efficient carbon-supported metal catalysts for selective hydrogenation.

A non-radical persulfate oxidation system activated by biochar-supported single-Co-atom catalyst (CoNBC600) was explored in this work. The experimental data and density functional theory calculations showed the Co atom coordinated with three N atoms was the primary active site for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation, resulting in the formation of surface-bonded active complexes (CoNBC600-PMS*) and high-valent metal oxides. Acetaminophen (APAP) was completely degraded within 11 min through a nearly 100 % internal electron transfer process between CoNBC600-PMS* and APAP, with an outstanding specific rate constant of 15.33 min −1 g −2 L 2 . The CoNBC600/PMS system exhibited high selective degradation toward organic pollutants that have low half-wave potential and high levels of the highest occupied molecular orbital. The polyvinylidene fluoride supported CoNBC600 membrane sustained steady PMS activation in a continuous flow-through system. This work provides a comprehensive understanding of the activation process of PMS by the CoNBC600 and offers a pathway to developing practical Fenton-like systems for wastewater remediation.

How to design and optimize the single-molecule structure of perylene diimide derivatives (PDIs) to obtain high-performance photocatalysts is one of the challenges facing the current research field of PDIs photocatalysis. In this article, we regulate the π-π self-assembly stacking and optoelectronic properties of PDIs by changing the type and position of substituents on the amide site. The PDI-PBA photocatalyst with excellent performance was obtained from seven types of PDIs supramolecular materials. Theoretical calculations and optoelectronic performance tests have shown that PDI-PBA has good crystallinity and maximum dipole moment, resulting in its maximum built-in electric field, effectively promoting the separation and transport of photo-generated carriers. The transient absorption spectra further indicate that photogenerated electrons and holes of PDI-PBA have outstanding separation efficiency and ultra-long lifetime. In the batch reactor, PDI-PBA can degrade almost 100% acetaminophen within 60 min. In the dynamic cycling system with a surface hydraulic load of 14.56 L/(m 2 ·h), the efficiency of PDI-PBA photocatalytic degradation of acetaminophen can reach 84%. PDI-PBA can also effectively degrade phenol, levofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin. This work provides a successful example for the design of novel and efficient PDIs supramolecular materials, and lays the foundation for the application of PDIs photocatalysts in practical wastewater treatment.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising packing materials in liquid chromatography, but their micropore character extremely prevents the separation performance. Herein, we proposed an acidic etching strategy to fabricate a hierarchically porous University of Oslo-66 (HP-UiO-66) coated silica shell-core composite by using phosphoric acid as an etchant. The prepared composite, namely HP-UiO-66@silica-PA, was characterized by SEM, TEM, FT-IR, and N 2 -adsorption–desorption isotherms, demonstrating the generation of mesopores in HP-UiO-66 shell with pore width ranging in 4–5 nm. The chromatographic performance of HP-UiO-66@silica-PA-1 (etched by 1 mL phosphoric acid for 2 h) as HPLC stationary phase was evaluated in reversed-phase mode, and the separations of three groups of small solutes were studied and compared with the microporous UiO-66@silica (MP-UiO-66@silica) column. The results proved the obviously improved performances with narrower peak width, better resolution, and higher symmetry were achieved by the HP-UiO-66@silica-PA-1 column. The faster diffusion and mass transfer kinetics in the HP-UiO-66 shell signally reduce the plate height and improve the column efficiency. Specifically, the plate number of o -xylene was 18,442 plates m −1 , which was about 18.5 times higher than that on the MP-UiO-66@silica column (993 plates m −1 ). Furthermore, good repeatability and reproducibility with RSDs of both retention time and peak area less than 0.5 % confirmed the high stability and outstanding reliability of the HP-UiO-66@silica-PA-1 column. This study demonstrates that the phosphoric acid etching strategy is simple, mild, and controllable to fabricate hierarchically porous MOFs-based stationary phase for enhancing the HPLC separation performance.
