2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone-5-sulfonic acid with a trade name of benzophenone-4, a typical anti-UV product, is increasingly detected in real aqueous environment . Few literature using cost-effective adsorption means with enough high adsorption capacity for the removal of benzophenone-4 is available. In this work, a series of novel tertiary amine-functionalized crosslinking polymeric resins, synthesized using different proportions of raw materials including 2-dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate as the monomer , divinylbenzene as the crosslinking reagent and toluene as the pore-forming reagent, were employed for the adsorption of benzophenone-4. During the synthesis process, an environmental-friendly one-step fabrication method , following the concept of cleaner production, was established for the reduction of unnecessary derivatization steps, extra pollution risk, costs and time. Among these resins, the optimal one with relatively larger pore diameter , larger specific surface area, and fewer inner defects, exhibited the highest adsorption capacity of 154 mg/g. Such a value was notably larger than several frequently reported commercial adsorbents, including activated carbon, ion exchange resins and macroporous resins. The performance of the resin not only owned strong resistance against influences of coexisting natural organic matter and inorganic ions, but also bore reuse without much capacity loss after six adsorption-desorption cycles. Adsorption interfacial interactions were studied, via both experimental analyses and chemical calculations. Electrostatic attraction between tertiary amine of the resin and SO 3 - of benzophenone-4 played a leading role during adsorption.

The wurtzite-derived Cu2ZnSn(S1–xSex)4 alloys are studied for the first time through combining theoretical calculations and experimental characterizations. Ab initio calculations predict that wurtzite-derived Cu2ZnSnS4 and Cu2ZnSnSe4 are highly miscible, and the band gaps of the mixed-anion alloys can be linearly tuned from 1.0 to 1.5 eV through changing the composition parameter x from 0 to 1. A synthetic procedure for the wurtzite-derived Cu2ZnSn(S1–xSex)4 alloy nanocrystals with tunable compositions has been developed. A linear tunable band-gap range of 0.5 eV is observed in the synthesized alloy nanocrystals, which shows good agreement with the ab initio calculations.

Photoreduction of 4-nitroaniline to p -phenylenediamine over TiO 2 , ZnO, PbBi 2 Nb 2 O 9 and CdS photocatalysts in the presence of CH 3 OH was investigated under light irradiation ( hv ≥ band gap) upon purging with N 2 . Compared with PbBi 2 Nb 2 O 9 and CdS, TiO 2 and ZnO showed photocatalytic activities for the photoreduction of 4-nitroaniline. Electron spin resonance analysis results revealed that a methanol radical could be detected in the present of TiO 2 and ZnO. Its formation was attributed to the reaction between the hydroxyl radical and CH 3 OH molecule. The species had strong reductive ability, and therefore could reduce 4-nitroaniline to p -phenylenediamine. Other alcohols (C 2 H 5 OH and i -C 3 H 7 OH) were also found to be efficient additives for the photoreduction of 4-nitroaniline. The results of the 2 H-labeled experiments indicated that the p -phenylenediamine formation was formed by the hydrogen transfer reaction between the 4-nitroaniline and H 2 O molecules. A mechanism was proposed to explain the photoreduction of 4-nitroaniline to p -phenylenediamine in the present alcohols.

In this study, the enhancement on 4-chloronitrobenzene (4-CNB) reduction was investigated in a dual-bioelectrochemical system with the cathode seeded by enriched 4-CNB degradation inoculums. We demonstrated that the biocathode had the ability to promote 4-CNB reduction and avoid more reluctant byproducts production. At room temperature, when initial 4-CNB concentration was 20 mg/L with 0.5 V external voltage, the 4-CNB removal efficiency reached 93.7%, while in the abiotic reactor and anaerobic bioreactor reduction rate were 62.9% and 88.4%, respectively. The 4-CNB was mainly converted to 4-CAN ( para -chloroaniline). Some of the 4-CAN could be dechlorinated and form aniline (AN), which was more degradable by microorganism. The biodiversity was richer based on the result of scanning electron microscope. Results also showed that the present used reactor was feasible to simplify pollutant transformation and improve transformation efficiency compared with the single abiotic cathode and anaerobic reactor . The bioelectrochemical reactor cathode provided a promising condition for pollutants reduction.

Hierarchically porous organosilica microspheres have been facilely synthesized by improved self-assembly of flexible-bridged organosilica precursor without templates and harsh conditions. Subsequently, monodispersed silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are in situ grown on the porous microspheres via silver mirror reaction.
The as-prepared hybrid composites of Ag supported on porous microspheres are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis and nitrogen adsorption and desorption, respectively. These results indicate that not only Ag NPs (20–40 nm) are grown on the organosilica uniformly but also the content of Ag NPs immobilized in the hybrid materials can be well controlled by simply tuning the amount of the Ag(NH 3 ) 2 OH. The resultant hybrid microspheres exhibit remarkable and durable performances for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol by NaBH 4 in aqueous solution. Moreover, the catalytic kinetic mode can be tuned by adjusting the parameter in catalytic reaction, and it can be recycled for seven successive cycles with excellent conversion of 100 % within 8 min. Therefore, the present structure design and scalable route for the synthesis of hierarchical catalyst can provide a highly efficient solution for the reduction of nitro-aromatic compounds in the view of environmentally friendly strategy.

Vitexin-4″- O -glucoside and vitexin-2″- O -rhamnoside are the major flavonoids of hawthorn leaves. In this work, the adsorption and desorption characteristics of vitexin-4″- O -glucoside and vitexin-2″- O -rhamnoside on seven macroporous resins were evaluated. Among the tested resins, the HPD-400 resin showed the best adsorption and desorption capacities. Adsorption isotherms were constructed for the HPD-400 resin and well fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich models. Dynamic adsorption and desorption tests were performed on column packed with the HPD-400 resin to optimize the chromatographic parameters. After one run treatment with the HPD-400 resin, the contents of vitexin-4″- O -glucoside and vitexin-2″- O -rhamnoside in the product were increased 8.44-fold and 8.43-fold from 0.720% and 2.63% to 6.08% and 22.2% with recovery yields of 79.1% and 81.2%, respectively. These results show that the developed method is a promising basis for the large-scale purification of vitexin-4″- O -glucoside and vitexin-2″- O -rhamnoside from hawthorn leaves and other plant materials.

To understand the phase behavior of 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde (3-HBA) and the solubility effect of 3-HBA and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4-HBA) on each other in supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO 2 ), the equilibrium solubility of 3-HBA and its mixture with 4-HBA, was measured in SCCO 2 binary system (comprising of a solute and SCCO 2 ) and ternary system (comprising of two solutes and SCCO 2 ) at temperature and pressure given in range of 308–328 K and 11.0–21.0 MPa respectively. Comparing the solubility of 3-HBA and 4-HBA between in the binary system and ternary system, it was found that the equilibrium solubility of both 3-HBA and 4-HBA was enhanced in the ternary system due to the molecular interaction. The experimental data were correlated by Chrastil, Mendez-Santiago and Teja (M-S-T), Sovova, their modified models, and Zhu et al. model. Also a new model was deduced and established based on the Chemistry Association Theory and was verified by 636 groups of solubility data. The correlated results indicated that the new model obtained a less deviation than other models, including the modified Chrastil model, the modified M-S-T model, the modified Sovova model, and Zhu et al. model, all of which have same adjustable parameters.

We demonstrate herein a newly developed electrochemical sensor base on the reduced graphene oxide–titanium nitride (RGO–TiN) nanohybrid . The nanohybrid was prepared by mixing the TiN nanoparticles and GO dispersion and then treating with glucose and Zn foils. The morphologies and microstructures of the as-prepared nanohybrid were characterized by UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The as-prepared RGO–TiN nanohybrid exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the simultaneous detection of acetaminophen (ACOP) and 4-aminophenol (4-AP). As a result, the linear detection ranges were 0.06–660 μM for ACOP and 0.05–520 μM for 4-AP, respectively, with the low detection limits of 0.02 μM for ACOP and 0.013 μM for 4-AP. Based on the excellent performance, it was demonstrated that the prepared RGO–TiN nanohybrid was a promising candidate for advanced electrode material in electrochemical sensing field and the as-prepared RGO–TiN nanohybrid may find more applications for the detection of various analytes.

Ethnopharmacological relevance Sambucus williamsii Hance (SWH), which belongs to the Caprifoliaceae family distributed in various regions of China, Korea and Japan, has been used as a folk medicine for treatment of bone and joint diseases in China for thousands of years. In previous studies, SWH was shown to possess anti-osteoporosis, healing fracture, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Our previous studies showed that SWH extract effectively suppressed ovariectomy-induced increase in bone turnover and improved bone mineral density and bone biomechanical strength in rats as well as in mice. An 8- O -4′ norlignan, (7 R ,8 S )-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-[4-(3-hydroxypropyl)-2-methoxyphenoxy]-1,3-propanediol (PPD) was previously isolated and identified as the bioactive ingredient in SWH. The present study aimed to characterize the bone protective effects as well as its mechanism of actions in osteoblasts. Materials and methods Bone protective actions of PPD on different cells were determined by proliferation assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay, calcium deposition as well as real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In addition, estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist ICI182,780 and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor U0126 blocking assays, competitive ER radioligand binding assay, ERE-dependent luciferase reporter assay and immunoblotting were used to determine if PPD activated ER and if the effects of PPD on osteoblastic functions were ER dependent. Results PPD exerted anabolic effects in osteoblasts and its effects were abolished by co-incubation with ICI182,780 or U0126. PPD induced mRNA expressions of Runx2, ALP, osteocalcin, and increased the ratio of osteoprotegerin/receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (OPG/RANKL). PPD failed to bind to either ERα or ERβ and did not activate ERE-luciferase activity via ER. PPD induced the phosphorylation of extracellular regulated kinases (ERK) and its effect was completely abolished by U0126. It also induced the phosphorylation of ERα at serine 118. Conclusion These data show that PPD is a bioactive compound in SWH that exerts oestrogen-like actions in osteoblast-like cells via ligand-independent, estrogen response element (ERE)-independent and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) Kinase-mediated rapid nongenomic ER signaling pathway.

Jordanian phosphate ore contains 70–150 parts per million (ppm) uranium. The uranium in the ore tends to dissolve during the leaching of phosphate ore with sulfuric acid to produce phosphoric acid (PA). Solvent extraction (SX) using various extracting agents is widely used to extract uranium from PA. Meanwhile, much research work has been carried out to develop suitable solid phase extractants in order to reduce cost and enhance efficiency. In this study, a new solid phase extractant has been synthesized by anchoring 2-hydroxy-4-aminotriazine onto activated carbon (ACH). The extraction of uranium from Jordanian PA using ACH and the synergistic mixture of di-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid and trioctyl phosphine oxide (DEPA–TOPO) diluted in kerosene were investigated and the performance of each extractant was evaluated and compared. The results showed that 91% extraction and 559.9 ppm loading capacity were achieved after 2 to 3 min mixing time using 0.5 M DEPA–0.125 M TOPO at 20 °C, 410 mV and 1/1 phase ratio. The activation energy ( E a ) of the solvent extraction (− 26.03 kJ mol − 1 ), calculated from Arrhenius plot, indicates that the reaction is barrier-less and exothermic in nature. On the other hand, uranium sorption onto ACH reaches equilibrium after 10 min and about 92% extraction can be achieved at 20 °C, C o = 70 mg/l, V = 200 ml, W = 100 mg and 410 mV; the rate constant for the uranium sorption onto ACH (16.54 × 10 − 3 g mg − 1 min − 1 ) was calculated from the pseudo-second order equation. The countercurrent extraction results showed that ACH has high physical, chemical stability and loading capacity about 618 mg g − 1 . Thermodynamic parameters ( ΔH ads ° = 20.61 kJ mol − 1 , ΔS ads ° = 160.47 J mol − 1 K − 1 , ΔG ads ° (333.3 K) = − 32.87 kJ mol − 1 ) suggest that the adsorption is endothermic and spontaneous in nature, which confirm the feasibility of the process.

A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif-4 (ADAMTS-4) plays a pivotal role in degrading aggrecan, which is an early event in cartilage degrading joint diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA). Detection of ADAMTS-4 activity could provide useful clinical information for early diagnosis of such diseases and disease-modifying therapy. Therefore, we developed a ADAMTS-4 detective fluorescent turn-on AuNP probe (ADAMTS-4-D-Au probe) by conjugating gold nanoparticles with a FITC-modified ADAMTS-4-specific peptide (DVQEFRGVTAVIR). When the ADAMTS-4-D-Au probe was incubated with ADAMTS-4, the fluorescence recovered and fluorescence intensity markedly increased in proportion to concentrations of ADAMTS-4 and the probe. A nearly 3-fold increase in fluorescent intensity in response to only 3.9 pM of ADAMTS-4 was detected, whereas almost no fluorescence recovery was observed when the probe was incubated with matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, -3, and -13. These results indicate a relative high sensitivity and specificity of the probe. Moreover, ADAMTS-4-D-Au probe was used to detect ADAMTS-4 activity in synovial fluid from 11 knee surgery patients. A substantial increase in fluorescent intensity was observed in the acute joint injury group as compared to the chronic joint injury and end-stage OA groups, indicating that this simple and low-cost sensing system might serve as a new detection method for ADAMTS-4 activity in biological samples and in screens for inhibitors for ADAMTS-4-related joint diseases. Additionally, this probe could be a potential biomarker for early diagnosis of cartilage-degrading joint diseases.

Graphical Carbon-encapsulated Cu–Ag dimetallic nanoparticles (C–CuAg NPs) were prepared using a facile one-pot route. The formation of C–CuAg NPs involved two steps: (1) the formation of the Cu–Ag alloy and (2) the in situ formation of the carbon layer at a low temperature (120 °C). The as-prepared C–CuAg NPs exhibited high catalytic activity and perfect reusability towards the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. A facile one-pot route has been developed for the synthesis of carbon-encapsulated Cu–Ag dimetallic nanoparticles (C–CuAg NPs). The synthesis was conducted using AgNO 3 and Cu(NO 3 ) 2 as metal precursors and ascorbic acid as the reduction agent and carbon source. The catalytic activities of the C–CuAg NPs for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) with NaBH 4 were tracked by UV/Vis spectroscopy, which demonstrates that the as-prepared C–CuAg NPs exhibit significantly enhanced catalytic activity compared with carbon-encapsulated Cu nanoparticles (C–CuNPs) and carbon-encapsulated Ag nanoparticles (C–Ag NPs). Notably, the catalysts are stable, and there is a high conversion efficiency for at least ten successive cycles. Considering the green facile preparation procedure and high catalytic activity, the prepared C–CuAg NPs hold great promise as highly efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly catalysts for industrial applications.
