The degradation of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), one of the most widely used brominated flame retardant , was evaluated during peroxymonosulfate (PMS) oxidation. TBBPA degradation was pH-dependent, with peak degradation rate constants occurring at pH 8.0–9.0, which was distinct from some other phenolic compounds . Singlet oxygen and radicals were found to play negligible roles in TBBPA degradation. TBBPA oxidation by PMS mainly proceeded via a direct oxidation pathway and the in-situ formed HOBr was found to greatly accelerate its degradation rates. The values of species-specific second-order rate constants for the reactions of PMS with the TBBPA k HSO5 − +TBBPA , k HSO5 − +TBBPA− and k HSO 5− +TBBPA2− were determined to be (1.11 ± 0.84) × 10 −2 , (8.05 ± 2.31) × 10 −2 , and (1.34 ± 0.25) × 10 −1 M −1 s −1 , respectively, while the reaction rate constants for HOBr/OBr − with TBBPA k HOBr+TBBPA , k HOBr+TBBPA− , k HOBr+TBBPA2− and k OBr−+TBBPA2− were determined to be (9.38 ± 2.10) × 10 3 , (1.59 ± 0.56) × 10 5 , (8.22 ± 0.41) × 10 6 , and (1.81 ± 0.12) × 10 6 M −1 s −1 , respectively. The bromine mass balance analysis showed that bromide ion and HOBr/OBr − occupied 19.5% of total Br and brominated organic compounds accounted for the remaining percentages at pH 7.0. No formation of bromate was observed. Based on the identified products, a reaction pathway was proposed, which included oxidation, β-scission, hydroxylation, and dimerization reaction pathways. The results indicate that unactivated PMS is useful for the remediation of TBBPA contaminated water .

Bromide ion (Br - ) in water sources has been found to affect the formation of carcinogenic non-brominated N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) during ozonation of typical amines. The increasing bromide levels bring more concern due to climate change and industrial discharge, but its effects on actual water matrixes were still unclear. In this study, NDMA formation from three actual water matrixes during ozonation as the Br - concentration increased from 0 to 100 µM were investigated (promotion (100.4 ∼ 231.6 ng/L), promotion then inhibition (399.5 ∼ 461.2 ∼ 428.2 ng/L), and subtle influence (51.9 ± 6.9 ng/L)); from which the NDMA precursors were screened and 8 precursors were selected for exploring the influencing mechanisms. The results indicated that the roles of Br - on NDMA formation significantly depended on the water characteristics of actual matrixes. A total of 16 typical NDMA precursors, which were mainly derived from industrial, agricultural and pharmaceutical sources, were identified. Moreover, 6 brominated substance (Br-DMA, Br-UDMH, Br-DMSC, Br-DMS, Br-TMDS, Br 2 -TMDS), which were thought to play a crucial role in promoting NDMA formation, were also identified in actual water by precursor ion scan (PIS) method. Hypobromous acid (HOBr), which has been proved to be the culprit to the generation of brominated substances, tend to attack the electron-donating groups of amines, such as acylamino (–NHCO-R) or amidogen (–NH 2 ) groups. However, the reactive bromine species (∙Br and ∙Br 2 - ) was inclined to attack the aromatic and anti-oxidant moieties then result in Br - release, as no bromine substitution but free radical transfer reaction occurs. Therefore, decreasing HOBr formation is the crucial step to reduce NDMA generation. This work would provide technical guide for NDMA risks control during ozonation of Br - -amines co-containing water matrixes.

The sulfilimine bond (−S═N−), found in the collagen IV scaffold, significantly stabilizes the architecture via the formation of sulfilimine cross-links. However, precisely governing the formation and breakup process of the sulfilimine bond in living organisms for better life functions still remains a challenge. Hence, we established a new way to regulate the breaking and formation of the sulfilimine bond through hydrogen selenide (H2Se) and hypobromous acid (HOBr), which can be easily controlled at simulated physiological conditions. This novel strategy provides a circulation regulation system to modulate the sulfilimine bond in peptides and NC1 hexamers, which can offer a substantial system for further study of the physiological function of collagen IV.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory loss. However, clinical diagnosis is only effective for patients with obvious clinical symptoms, which cannot provide precise diagnosis in the early stages of AD. Therefore, developing a practical tool for rapid and accurate diagnosis of AD is of paramount importance. Research suggests that reactive oxygen species (ROS), specifically peroxynitrite (ONOO ― ) and hypobromous acid (HOBr), may involve in the progression of AD, which could serve as biomarkers. Research on the simultaneous imaging of two kinds of ROS in AD using a single fluorescence probe remains sparse. To enhance diagnostic accuracy, our research designed an ingenious small-molecule fluorescent probe, NBO, for the sequential detection of ONOO ― and HOBr with distinguishable spectra. By utilization of NBO, elevated ONOO ― and HOBr levels were found in AD brain, and the therapeutic efficacy of AD drugs were successfully assessed.
