Nano-sized nickel oxide (nano-NiO) is a new nanomaterial that has shown great promise in many areas of application. Understanding its environmental fate and effects is critical for minimizing the potential environmental implications of this new material due to incidental and accidental releases in the future. In this study, we observed strong adsorption of tetracycline to nano-NiO and found that the adsorption affinity can be further enhanced by Cu(II) ions – the observed distribution coefficient (Kd) values are 103.1 to 104.2 L kg−1 in the absence of Cu(II) and 103.0 to 105.5 L kg−1 in the presence of Cu(II); such adsorption affinities are even comparable to those of tetracycline to carbonaceous materials. The strong adsorptive affinities of nano-NiO for tetracycline are likely attributable to several mechanisms, including surface complexation, cation exchange, and electrostatic attraction. As a strong complexing agent, Cu(II) can significantly enhance adsorption of tetracycline by serving as a bridging agent between tetracycline and nano-NiO. The findings of this study have important implications for the risk assessment of engineered nanomaterials – in aquatic environments nano-NiO (and likely other metal oxide nanomaterials) can strongly adsorb tetracycline antibiotics, resulting in the changes of environmental risks of the metal oxide nanomaterials and/or bioavailability of the adsorbed contaminants.

Biochar with abundant functional groups, porous structure, and high specific surface area has been widely used as an adsorbent for the removal of metal ions, and its low production costs make it economically suitable for large-scale application in various industries. Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were used to functionalize magnetic rice husk biochar (MBC) to produce hydroxyapatite functionalized magnetic rice husk biochar (HAP@MBC) in this study. The functional groups, magnetism performance, surface morphology, and aperture structure of HAP@MBC were characterized to explore the feasibility of its application in the treatment of wastewater containing Cu(II) ions. It is found that the maximum adsorption removal rate reaches 96.02% at 35°C, pH=5.0, with an adsorbent dosage of 0.65 g/L and an initial Cu(II) ion concentration of 50 mg/L. Additionally, adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics were analyzed to probe into the adsorption mechanism of Cu(II) ions by HAP@MBC. The results show that the adsorption process is very close to the pseudo-second-order model, indicating that the adsorption process is mainly controlled by chemisorption. The adsorption of Cu(II) ions can also be fitted by the intraparticle diffusion model, revealing that the adsorption rate is limited by intraparticle diffusion as well as other factors. Moreover, the adsorption process is consistent with the Langmuir isotherm, and the saturated adsorption capacity is calculated to be 81.59 mg/g. Thermodynamic analysis shows that the value of adsorption enthalpy change is 48.35 kJ/mol, suggesting the adsorption process is chemisorption. More precisely, it is a spontaneous entropy-increasing reaction, and an increase in the temperature is conducive to the adsorption. To sum up, HAP@MBC exhibits perfect adsorption properties and has the potential to be a novel and promising adsorbent for the removal of Cu(II) ions.

AOPAN nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning and amidoxime modification, subsequently, HEMA was used as the monomers for surface grafting via atom transfer radical polymerization, followed by coordination with Cu(II) ions, thereafter, the nanofibers AOPAN-poly(HEMA)-Cu(II) were explored as the novel support for laccase immobilization. Scanning electron microscopy was used to visualize the morphology of the nanofibers, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to provide information on the surface chemistry of nanofibers. At the same time, the optimization of immobilization conditions and the relative properties of the immobilized laccase were also studied in this paper. The study showed the largest amount of immobilized laccase while the reaction time of atom transfer radical polymerization was 4 h. The immobilized laccase showed a better stability resistance to temperature and pH change, and the initial activity of immobilized laccase retained (60.3 ± 3.1)%, that of the free laccase retained only (21.3 ± 2.1)% when stored at 4℃ for 24 days. Immobilized laccase maintained its initial activity after 10 repeated batches of 64.5%.

A new adsorbent l -Arg-CS/Fe 3 O 4 was prepared by l -arginine modifying magnetic chitosan for the removal of Cu(II ) ions from aqueous solution. The compositions of l -Arg-CS/Fe 3 O 4 were characterized by infrared (IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, respectively. The surface morphology, particle size and specific surface area were measured on scanning electron microscope (SEM) and micromeritics gas adsorption surface analyzer. The adsorption behavior of l -Arg-CS/Fe 3 O 4 for Cu(II ) were investigated as a function of pH, contact time and initial Cu(II ) concentration. The maximum adsorption capacity for Cu(II ) was 2.13 mmol g −1 at the optimized adsorption conditions, which were pH = 5.5, t = 13 min, C 0 = 4.0 mmol L −1 . The adsorption behavior was evaluated by the analysis of adsorption kinetics. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models were used to estimate the adsorption mode. l -Arg-CS/Fe 3 O 4 exhibited high adsorption capability after five regeneration cycles. The adsorption and desorption mechanisms were discussed. The results show that l -Arg-CS/Fe 3 O 4 is a promising adsorbent for removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions.

The β1 receptor blocker metoprolol targets the hypertension-carrying adrenergic receptor gene (ADRB1), but therapy is often hindered by a lack of evidence-based medical information. The authors describe an assay for the ADRB1 gene. It is based on the electrocatalytic oxidation of H 2 O 2 by a nanocomposite consisting of hemin and platinum nanoparticles in an amino-modified metal-organic framework of the type Fe-MIL-88-NH 2 and heavily loaded with Cu(II) ions. The nanocomposite was placed on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), and the resulting sensor displays increased electrocatalytic activity with the addition of H 2 O 2 because of the synergistic effects of hemin and the platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs). Next, a capture DNA probe for the target ADRB1 gene was immobilized on the modified GCE. Binding of the target gene results in a distinct change in the electrocatalytic activity of H 2 O 2 . The amperometric i–t curves were recorded at −0.4 V in 5 mL of phosphate buffered saline at room temperature. The electrode responds to ADRB1 in the 1 f. to 10 nM concentration range and has a 0.21 f. detection limit (at a S/N ratio of 3). In our perception, this detection scheme can simplify and accelerate the identification of drug response and therapeutic efficacy. Conceivably, it may be applied to other mutations, and it may enable a more precise clinical prognosis and thus facilitate personalized medical diagnostics.

This versatile platform simplifies studies on the response of hypertension drugs and the effectiveness of therapy.

Metal ions cause a serious public health problem. It is a great challenge to find an effective and efficient adsorbent to remove heavy metals from wastewater. Chitosan-based adsorbents are potential and effective for heavy metal ion removal. Hence a novel m-ECCSB was synthesized, characterized and utilized as an adsorbent for the removal of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution. Various factors affecting the uptake behavior such as pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, initial concentration of Cu(II) and temperature effect were investigated. Maximum adsorption capability (123.10 mg/g) was obtained at pH = 6, adsorbent dose of = 250 mg, rotational speed = 200 rpm, contact time = 60 min, and temperature of 323 K. The result of the kinetic study shows that the adsorption of Cu(II) could be described by the pseudo-second-order equation. Equilibrium data were analysed with the Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms and Langmuir model was found to provide the best fit of the experimental data. The thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption of Cu(II) onto m-ECCSB was spontaneous (ΔG° = −8.990, −10.00 and −10.593 kJ/mol), endothermic (ΔH° = 15.674, 15.478 and 15.699 kJ/mol) and ΔS° (0.0814 J/mol K) suggests an increased randomness at the solid/solution interface under the studied conditions.

Nowadays, extensive use of copper in electric industries has severely contaminated aquatic environments. To address this issue, combining fungal biomass with nanomaterials is considered as an efficient way for adsorbing heavy metals from wastewater. In this work, a novel composite material
"Fungal mycelium coupled with Carbon nanotubes" (FM-CNTs) was synthesized and used for adsorption of Cu(II) ions in aqueous solution. To begin with, potassium permanganate and concentrated nitric acid were used as strong oxidants to modify the surface of CNTs, creating additional carboxyl
groups for coupling with amine groups from the surface of FM. Next, various characterization approaches such as SEM-EDX, FT-IR, XPS and TGA, were used to investigate the interaction between FM-CNTs and Cu(II) ions. Characterization results showed that the surface of FM-CNTs were significantly
changed after absorbing Cu(II) ions. Further, the effect of pH on adsorption capacity of FM-CNTs for Cu(II) was explored, showing that FM-CNTs had the best adsorption performance at pH of 5. Finally, Langmuir-Freundlich isothermal models were performed to analyze the adsorption behavior of
FM-CNTs for Cu(II). The experimental data from the adsorption of Cu(II) by FM-CNTs were best fitted to the Langmuir model, and the maximum adsorption amount of the FMCNTs for Cu(II) was found to be 342.22 mg/g. More importantly, FM-CNTs showed better adsorption capacity than fungal mycelium
alone. Overall, FM-CNTs exhibited excellent performance for adsorption of Cu(II) ions, thus greatly broadening its application prospects in copper-contaminated wastewater treatment.

Herein, a nanocomposite comprising polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and cobalt(II) hydroxide (Co(OH) 2 ) nanoparticles (PVP–Co(OH) 2 ) was synthesized via a hydrothermal method and used for detection of Cu(II) ions. Using PVP grafted nanosized Co(OH) 2 as a surfactant could decrease the aggregation and reduce the particle size. The conducted morphology investigations showed that PVP–Co(OH) 2 nanocomposite was composed of small spherical particles with a diameter of 40–80 nm that could accelerate mass diffusion and favor the deposition-stripping process of Cu(II) ions. High catalytic activity of Co(OH) 2 and good affinity of PVP to Cu(II) ions synergistically enhances sensing performance of the PVP–Co(OH) 2 nanocomposite-modified electrode than Co(OH) 2 - and PVP-modified electrodes. A linear response was obtained for Cu(II) ion concentration over a range of 1.0–90.0 μg/L, with a detection limit of 0.26 μg/L (S/N = 3). The proposed electrode exhibited good performance in terms of selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. It was also employed to detect Cu(II) ions in water and food samples, and the results were in good agreement with those obtained by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry.

Tannin was crosslinked with paraformaldehyde to prepare tannin-phenolic polymer(TP), TP immobilized on cellulose (TPPC) was prepared by the cross-linking reaction of TP and cellulose with epichlorohydrin as crosslinking agent. Tannin was crosslinked prior to being immobilized on cellulose, which could increase the effective phenolic hydroxyl content in cellulose skeleton and improve the adsorption property of TPPC for metal ions. The maximum adsorption capacity of TPPC for Cd(II) and Cu(II) ions were 80.11 mg/g and 55.97 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption equilibrium data for the metal solutions fitted the Langmuir model well. The adsorption rate data fitted well to a Pseudo-second-order model. The TPPC has potential application value in the field of metal wastewater treatment.

A sensitive and selective luminescent nanoprobe (referred to as DEPN) is designed for the determination of Cu(II) ions. DEPN shows two emission peaks, one at 602 nm and caused by [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ , the other (peaking at 500 nm) caused by silver nanoclusters (AgNCs). The luminescence of the ruthenium complex is inert and acts as the internal reference signal, while that of the AgNCs is quenched by Cu(II) ions. Under 350 nm photoexcitation, a linear relationship is found between the ratio of emission intensity (I 500 /I 602 ) and the concentration of Cu(II) ions in the 0.1–16 μM range. The detection limit of Cu(II) ions is estimated to be 50 nM. The DEPN was applied to the determination of Cu(II) ions in (spiked) water samples, and to intracellular imaging of Cu(II) in HeLa cells using confocal fluorescence microscopy.

Due to a small amount of Cu (Ⅱ) ions being beneficial and too much being harmful, it is necessary to establish a rapid and direct detection method. Herein, we reported a platform based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMIMPF6), and Nafion solution-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the direct electrochemical detection of Cu (II) ions. We used differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry, including the electrodeposition of Cu (Ⅱ) ions on the modified GCE and subsequent anodic stripping. Under the optimum conditions, the linear range was 20 μg·L −1 ∼ 950 μg·L −1 , the limit of detection (LOD) was 16 μg·L −1 , and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 54 μg·L −1 for Cu (II). We realized the quantitative detection of Cu (Ⅱ) ions in juice and tea beverage without tedious pretreatment. The result showed that the sensor had good anti-interference and practicability for actual food samples.
