Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent chemicals in the environment. So far, little is known about their uptake potential in wetland plants. Here, we investigated the uptake and translocation of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) in eight common wetland plants, namely, Canna indica (Ci), Thalia dealbata (Td), Cyperus alternifolius (Ca), Phragmites australis (Pa), Arundo donax (Ad), Pontederia cordata (Pc), Cyperus papyrus (Cp), and Alisma orientale (Ao) by hydroponic experiments and visualized their tissue- and cell-level distribution with desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) and transmission electron microscopy equipped with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (TEM-EDS). The results showed that the PFASs accumulated in plants accounted for 1.67–16.7% of the total mass spiked into the hydroponic systems, and PFOS accumulated largely in roots (48.8–95.8%), while PFOA was stored mostly in the aboveground part (29.3–77.4%). DESI-MS and TEM-EDS analysis showed that PFASs in Ci, Td, Pa, and Ca were transported from the hydroponic solution to the root cortex via both apoplastic (e.g., across cell walls and/or intercellular spaces) and symplastic routes (e.g., across plasma membranes or via plasmodesmata) and further to the vascular bundle via symplastic route in Td and Pa and via both routes in Ci and Ca. These two chemicals were transported from roots to stems mainly through the cortex in Td and through both the cortex and vascular bundles in Ci and Ca.

Metal ions can promote the aging of Baijiu and improve its sensory quality. However, the aging mechanism mediated by metal ions remains unclear. The content of esters, alcohols, and pH decreased while the acids content, viscosity, and conductivity increased after adding metal ions. 20 kinds of aroma components were identified in Baijiu including esters, acids, alcohols, and aldehydes by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Spectroscopy and electrochemical analysis demonstrated that Fe 3+ has a higher affinity than Cu 2+ for the flavor compounds, and both Fe 3+ and Cu 2+ exhibit stronger affinity with acids than corresponding esters. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) demonstratesd that Baijiu can form lamellar, spherical, flower-like, and crystal-like morphology during aging. The colloidal particles exhibit different elemental composition according to Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS). These results indicated Baijiu aging is regulated by transition metal ions, thereby providing a theoretical foundation for Baijiu aging by selecting appropriate aging medium and storage conditions.

This study investigated the denitrification characteristics and practical applications of PET–CAs (chloroanthraquinones immobilised on polyethylene terephthalate), which are novel functional biocarriers. The PET–CAs were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). Among the PET–CAs, PET-1,8-DCA (PET modified by 1,8-dichloroanthraquinone) was the best functional biocarrier for accelerating the denitrification process with approximately 0.14 mmol anthraquinone. The denitrification process was pseudo-zero order, with C NO3 − = 175.64–19.28 t and R 2 = 0.9715. The pH of the PET-1,8-DCA system increased and ultimately reached 9.7. The stabilized ORP value with PET-1,8-DCA was approximately 70 mV lower than that of the control with PET . This study explored a novel design concept for the immobilization of quinone.

Specularite is generally recovered by flotation, but its floatability is relatively weak. Activation is an effective method to improve the floatability of minerals. Therefore, finding an economic and effective activator to improve the recovery of specularite is an important research direction. In this study, lead nitrate as an activator was found and confirmed to improve the floatability of specularite. Its activation mechanism was further investigated by various analytical methods. The micro-flotation tests results showed that the recovery of specularite increased from 69.57% to 92.47% at a Pb 2+ concentration of 3 × 10 -5 mol/L, an approximately 23% increase, indicating that Pb 2+ could obviously activate specularite. The SEM-EDS results illustrated that the content of Pb on the specularite surface apparently increased after specularite treatment with lead nitrate, which confirmed the adsorption of Pb species on the surface of specularite. Zeta potential results showed that the zeta potential positively shifted within the pH range from 3 to 11, which was beneficial to the occurrence of electrostatic adsorption and chemisorption between negatively charged oleate species and specularite. XPS results revealed that lead species mainly adsorbed on the O atoms of Fe-O and Fe-OH at the specularite surface, and Pb atoms became new sites to interact with sodium oleate. In addition, Pb 2+ and Pb(OH) + were the predominant components that interacted with the specularite surface and formed -O-Pb and Fe-O-Pb complexes, which considerably increased the number of reactive sites on the specularite surface. After oleate components interacted with Pb-modified specularite, a denser hydrophobic layer was generated on the surface of specularite, which intensified the floatability of specularite.

Kaolinite is a layered silicate material with a Janus character and has been directly used as the solid catalyst for the hydrolysis of cellulose in our previous work. Reducing sugar (RS) is one of the most important intermediates for the utilization of cellulose. In the present study, metal ions dispersed on kaolinite was easily prepared and further evaluated for the hydrolysis of cellulose to RS in water. The metal ions dispersed kaolinite was characterized by XRD, BET, SEM(EDS), and XPS. The catalytic results showed that copper was the best co-catalyst among the tested metal ions and the kaolinite treated with 4(wt)% copper nitrate by calcination at 623 K showed the highest total reducing sugar (TRS) yield of 51% under 478 K with the mass ratio of catalyst to cellulose of 0.2 and weight ratio of water to cellulose of 7 for 3 h. Moreover, the catalyst could be easily regenerated by calcination and the yield of TRS on the regenerated catalyst decreased from 51 to 43.2% after four times reuse. The characterization results revealed that copper was highly dispersed on the outer SiO 4 tetrahedral layer. The surface cuprous species were the active sites and could make the C-O bond cleavage easily by attacking the positively charged carbon atoms of the β-(1,4)-glycosidic linkage in the cellulose. The leaching of the cuprous species was responsible for the deactivation of the catalyst. The copper dispersed kaolinite is the efficient catalyst for the hydrolysis cellulose to reducing sugars and worth further development. Graphical abstract

Magnetic nanoparticles of Nd-Fe3O4 were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis method, using NdCl3·6H2O and FeCl3·6H2O as the starting materials in this paper. The structure and morphology of nanoparticles were investigated by XRD, FTIR, EDS and TEM. The results showed that, while the addition of Nd at 10% in mole ratio, resulted in the formation of Nd2O3 crystal peak in cubic Fe3O4 nanocrystallites by XRD. The absorption bands of Fe‒O, ‒OH, ‒O‒C‒O‒ and ‒CH2‒ were accordant to the correspondent chemical groups by FTIR. The morphology of the prepared nanoparticles exhibited spherical structure and evenly distributed without agglomeration phenomenon by TEM. The elemental composition were mainly consistent with the precursor materials used in the experiment.

Cellulose is the most abundant form of biomass on earth, and is considered as an alternative for fuels and chemicals. The hydrolysis of cellulose to platform compounds, such as reducing sugars (RS), is one of the most important ways for the utilization of cellulose. In this study, the solid acid catalysts of SO 4 2− -ZrO 2 /montmorillonite (SZ-Mt) were prepared by coupling SO 4 2− with ZrO 2 and then introducing into the interlayer of Mt using the coprecipitation method. Meanwhile, the catalytic performance of the SZ-Mt catalysts for the hydrolysis of cellulose to RS in water was studied. The catalysts were characterized by XRD , FT-IR, BET, SEM(EDS), NH 3 -TPD and XPS . The catalytic results showed that the SZ-Mt composite calcined at 500 °C with the molar ratio of S/Zr of 0.3 showed the highest total reducing sugars yield of 30.1%. The characterization results revealed that the surface S O bonds of sulfated zirconium oxide could gradually change from O=S-OH groups (type I, -HSO 4 ) to O=S=O groups (type II, -S 2 O 7 ). It was concluded that the surface S-OH groups in type I were responsible for the hydrolysis of cellulose in the low molar ratio of S/Zr and the new S-OH bonds formed by breaking the S-O-S bonds in type II were contributed to the conversion of cellulose in the high molar ratio of S/Zr. Finally, the mechanism of cellulose hydrolysis on the SZ composites was suggested.

In order to study the change of each phase and the influence of single oxide during the consolidation of pellets. A systematic thermodynamic calculation was carried out through the phase diagram to study the influence of five oxides (CaO, SiO 2 , Fe 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 and MgO) on the phase equilibrium of the hematite pellet system. The results show that the content of CaO has the most significant effect on the content of liquid phase and SPINA. There are critical values for the influence of SiO 2 and CaO on the Ca 3 Fe 2 Si 3 O 12 phase, which are 3.5% and 3.0%, respectively. Through in-situ heating experiments, XRD-Rietveld and SEM-EDS, the macro morphology and phase composition of the hardened samples were compared and analyzed. Finally, a multiple regression model is used to predict the liquid content of hematite pellets, which is effective in predicting the phase component.

The rapid development of industrial society is also accompanied by the generation of a large amount of heavy metal wastewater, which has caused serious harm to the ecological environment and human society. Natural sphalerite has an important value in the environmental field due to its own semiconducting properties. In order to effectively remove Ag + from wastewater containing silver, this study develops a natural mineral-based Ag + adsorbent material (sphalerite) based on elemental affinity qualities and mineralization principles. The results of batch experiments showed that the initial Ag + concentration of 50 mg/L reduced to 0.094 mg/L with a reaction duration of 15 min, a sphalerite dose of 5 g/L, an initial particle size of −400 mesh (38 μm), a reaction temperature of 25 °C, and a pH of 5. The highest adsorption capacity is 19.77 mg/g, and the adsorption behavior is consistent with the Freundlich isotherm model and pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics. The results of solution chemical analysis indicate that the presence of Ag + is primarily influenced by the presence of S 2− . Further analysis using SEM-EDS, FTIR, and XPS techniques reveals that Ag + is chemically adsorb onto the mineral surface, resulting in the formation of Ag 2 S. DFT calculations further confirm the overlap between the Ag 4d orbitals and the S 3p orbitals on the surface of sphalerite, further confirming its chemical adsorption. Mulliken populations suggest that charge transfer occurs between Ag + and S atoms in the sphalerite surface. This research systematically reveals the Ag + adsorption mechanism on sphalerite surface and expands research ideas for treating heavy metal wastewater.

The separation of chalcopyrite and molybdenite in porphyry copper–molybdenum ores is challenging owing to their similar floatabilities, making the use of depressants necessary. Inorganic depressants are commonly employed in the flotation industry to increase the difference in hydrophobicity between chalcopyrite and molybdenite; however, these depressants pose significant environmental risks. Recently, novel organic depressants have attracted considerable interest because of their abundance and low toxicity. This study investigated the use of 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMTD), an activator recently employed in copper oxide flotation, as a depressant for the separation of chalcopyrite and molybdenite. Micro–flotation experiments demonstrated that DMTD exhibits a notable selective depression effect, significantly suppressing the flotation of chalcopyrite without adversely affecting the flotation of molybdenite. Furthermore, DMTD maintained its depression effect on chalcopyrite flotation even in the presence of xanthate. Contact angle measurements were used to analyze changes in hydrophobicity, corroborating the micro–flotation results, while SEM-EDS elemental distribution maps further confirmed the selective adsorption of DMTD on the chalcopyrite surface. XPS and AFM analyses were conducted to elucidate the microscale interaction mechanism between DMTD and chalcopyrite. The specific interaction sites on the chalcopyrite surface were identified through changes in elemental binding energies, while the evolution of surface morphology revealed how DMTD interacts with chalcopyrite in the xanthate system.

The contamination of soils by mercury (Hg) seriously threatens the local ecological environment and public health. S-functionalized amendments are common remediation technology , yet, Hg re-activation often occurs in the commonly used immobilization remediation by S-functionalized amendments, resulting in an unsatisfactory remediation effect. In this study, a novel FeS–Se functionalized biochar composite (FeS-Se-BC) amendment was prepared and applied for the efficient remediation of Hg-polluted soil. An immobilization efficiency of 99.62% and 99.22% for H 2 O-extractable Hg and TCLP solution-extractable Hg was achieved with the application of FeS-Se-BC (0.05) after 180 d. The analyses of XPS, Hg-TPD, SEM-EDS demonstrated that excellent remediation performance by FeS-Se-BC resulted from the synergistic effect of FeS and Se to form HgS and HgSe concurrently. In comparison to the treatments of biochar and FeS-functionalized biochar (FeS-BC), FeS-Se-BC promoted the transformation of exchangeable, carbonate-bound, and Fe–Mn oxides-bound Hg fractions into organic material-bound, and residual fractions, effectively reducing the risk of Hg-contaminated soil from a highly dangerous level to a low risk. Furthermore, the introduction of Se clearly inhibited the re-activation of Hg and reduced the release of Hg by 81.12% compared to FeS-BC when the ratio of S 2− to Hg was 5: 1 due to the formation of extremely stable HgSe. These results suggest that FeS-Se-BC has good potential for remediation of Hg-polluted soils which provides a new inhibitory idea for Hg re-activation after immobilization.

Inspired by its large specific surface area, and tunable chemical and physical properties, a hollow carbon-based mater8ial derived from ZIF-8 with phosphate groups (HCM-PO 4 ) was prepared for the elimination of U(VI). The structural and surface features of HCM and HCM-PO 4 were thoroughly examined using techniques such as SEM, TEM, and XRD. The resulting carbon material, HCM-PO 4 , exhibits a higher BET surface area of 571.2 m 2 ·g -1 , featuring a hollow structure. The removal procedure of HCM-PO 4 for U(VI) aligns with the quasi-secondary kinetic model. Furthermore, the theoretical sorption capacity of HCM-PO 4 was found to be 482.30 mg·g -1 at 298.15 K. The results obtained from XPS, FT-IR, and EDS analysis of HCM-PO 4 after adsorption revealed the coordination of the phosphate group for U(VI), contributing significantly to the adsorption process. In brief, the HCM-PO 4 demonstrates excellent adsorptive ability, positioning it as a hopeful expectant to remove U(VI) from wastewater.
