Novel visible-light responded aluminosilicophosphate-5 (SAPO-5)/g-C3N4composite has been easily constructed by thermal polymerization for the mixture of SAPO-5, NH4Cl, and dicyandiamide. The photocatalytic activity of SAPO-5/g-C3N4is evaluated by degrading RhB (30 mg/L) under visible light illumination (λ > 420 nm). The effects of SAPO-5 incorporation proportion and initial RhB concentration on the photocatalytic performance have been discussed in detail. The optimized SAPO-5/g-C3N4composite shows promising degradation efficiency which is 40.6% higher than that of pure g-C3N4. The degradation rate improves from 0.007 min−1to 0.022 min−1, which is a comparable photocatalytic performance compared with other g-C3N4-based heterojunctions for dye degradation. The migration of photo-induced electrons from g-C3N4to the Al site of SAPO-5 should promote the photo-induced electron-hole pairs separation rate of g-C3N4efficiently. Furthermore, the redox reactions for RhB degradation occur on the photo-induced holes in the g-C3N4and Al sites in SAPO-5, respectively. This achievement not only improves the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4efficiently, but also broadens the application of SAPOs in the photocatalytic field.Keywords:g-C3N4;SAPO-5;composite;photocatalytic;visible light

Implant materials are prone to bacterial infections and cause serious consequences, while traditional antibiotic therapy has a long treatment cycle and even causes bacterial resistance. In this work, a photothermal therapy (PTT) assisted drug release system has been developed on the implant surface for in situ rapid disinfection under 808 nm light irradiation within a short time, in which gentamicin (Gent) is loaded by polyethylene glycol (PEG) modified molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) on Ti surface, and then encapsulated with chitosan (CS) (CS/Gent/PEG/MoS2-Ti). The hyperthermia produced by the coatings irradiated by 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) light can not only accelerate the local release of Gent, but also reduce the activity of bacteria, which makes it easy for these locally released drugs to enter the interior of the bacteria to inhibit the protein synthesis and destroy the cell membrane. When maintained at 50 °C for 5 min under NIR irradiation, this system can achieve an antibacterial efficacy of 99.93% and 99.19% against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. By contrast, even after treatment for 120 min, only a 93.79% antibacterial ratio can be obtained for Gent alone. This is because hyperthermia produced from the coatings during irradiation can assist antibiotics in killing bacteria in a short time. Even under a low dose of 2 μg mL−1, the photothermal effect assisted gentamicin can achieve an antibacterial efficacy of 96.86% within 5 min. In vitro cell culture shows that the modified surface can facilitate cell adhesion, spreading and proliferation. The 7 day subcutaneous infection model confirms that the prepared surface system can exhibit a much faster sterilization and tissue reconstruction than the control group with light assistance. Compared with the traditional drug release system, this photothermy controlled drug-loaded implant surface system can not only provide rapid and high-efficiency in situ sterilization, but also offer long-term prevention of local bacterial infection.

This work prepared carbonaceous microspheres by hydrothermal carbonization of yeast cells followed by sulfonation with concentrated sulphuric acid (98%) at room temperature. The obtained carbonaceous product (CM-SO3H) had a high acid density (1.80 mmol g−1). We evaluated CM-SO3H as a solid catalyst for the dehydration of fructose-based carbohydrates to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM][Cl]). The effects of the catalyst and substrate loadings as well as the reaction temperature and time on the yield of 5-HMF were investigated. Under the optimum conditions, a 5-HMF yield of up to 83.5% was obtained from fructose with a reaction temperature of 80 °C for 30 min. Furthermore, 44.8% and 59.2% 5-HMF yields were obtained from sucrose (80 °C for 30 min) and inulin (80 °C for 60 min), respectively. CM-SO3H and [BMIM][Cl] showed high stability and could be recycled between five and eight times without significant loss of catalytic activity. More importantly, the catalytic system could be applied to high substrate concentrations. CM-SO3H combined with [BMIM][Cl] is a promising system for transforming fructose-based carbohydrates into 5-HMF.

Zeolite (ZSM-5), as a kind of carbon-free sorbent or catalyst, has been widely applied in many fields due to its big surface area, good chemical and thermal stability, and excellent adsorption performance. In this study, Mn-Fe modified ZSM-5 are synthesized via sol-gel approach and employed for elemental mercury (Hg 0 ) removal from simulated flue gas at low temperature. The results show that pure ZSM-5 shows poor mercury capture ability with Hg 0 removal efficiency of ~8.5–18.8% at 100–300 °C. Mn or Fe modification can both efficiently enhance the Hg 0 removal efficiency of the ZSM-5. The sorbent with Mn/Fe molar ratio of 1:2 exhibits the optimal mercury capture ability with the highest Hg 0 removal efficiency near 100% at temperatures of 200 and 250 °C due to the significant synergy effect between Mn 2 O 3 and Fe 2 O 3 . The presence of NO has a negligible effect on the Hg 0 removal performance of Mn/ZSM-5 and Mn1Fe2/ZSM-5, while the existence of SO 2 considerably degrades the Hg 0 capture performance of Mn/ZSM-5 owing to competing adsorption and side reactions. Fe addition can protect Mn active sites from SO 2 poisoning and thereby enhancing the SO 2 resistance of Mn/ZSM-5 to some extent.

In order to solve the toxic and hazardous issues of the agents in the chemical reduction process of graphene oxide (GO), disodium guanosine 5′-monophosphate (GMP-2Na) was used as an ideal reducing agent for the synthesis of functionalized GO (FGO) for lipase immobilization. At the condition of low amount adsorption of GMP-2Na indicated by the N1s spectra of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the C/O atomic ratio of the FGO increased from 2.09 to 3.12, indicating the reduction of GO. As the amount of GMP-2Na increased, the intensity of the characteristic peak of GO in the XRD pattern decreased, and the I D /I G peak intensity of Raman spectra increased during the functionalization process. It was found that when the concentration of GMP-2Na is 0.20 mg/mL, the degree of hydrophobicity of FGO is conducive to the formation of optimal conformation of lipase. After immobilization, the activity of the immobilized enzyme reaches twice the value of free enzyme. At the same time, the protein loading reaches to 600 mg/g. The immobilized enzyme showed enhanced durability since no obvious decrease was observed after incubation for 8 h at pH 6.0 and pH 7.0. After storage for 35 days, the activity of GO-G@ enzyme was 54.47% higher than that of free enzyme. GO reduced by GMP-2Na provides a possibility to obtain a highly efficient lipase immobilization carrier.

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a reliable clinical marker of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A highly sensitive fluorometric aptamer nanoprobe is described for AFP detection. It is based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between AFP aptamer labelled with 5-carboxyfluorescein (FAM) and palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs). The PdNPs quench the green fluorescence of the FAM-AFP aptamer via interactions between nitrogen functional groups of the AFP aptamer and PdNPs. When AFP was introduced into the FAM-AFP aptamer-PdNPs FRET system, the AFP aptamer preferentially combines with AFP. This results in a conformational change and weakens the interaction between the aptamer and the PdNPs. Thus, the fluorescence of FAM recovers. The fluorescence recovery of FAM increases linearly in the 5.0–150 ng·mL −1 AFP concentration range and has a 1.4 ng·mL −1 detection limit. The assay was applied to the analysis of spiked diluted human serum. The recovery values ranged from 98.3 to 112.9%, with relative standard deviations of <1.1%. This biosensing strategy provides a reliable and ultrasensitive protocol for the quantification of biomarkers with relevant antigens and aptamers.

Conversion of biomass-derived chemicals into light olefins is a promising method to maintain sustainable development of light olefin industry. In this study, three mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolites (MZSM-5-A, MZSM-5-B and MZSM-5-C) with major pore diameter about 4.8 nm, 16 nm and 22 nm were synthesized using a hydrothermal method by utilizing different templates. The catalytic activity of catalysts was studied by catalytic cracking of ethanol and oleic acid. The influence of reaction temperature on conversion and product selectivity was investigated. The characterization of ZSM-5 samples showed that the orders of the external surface area and mesopore volume were MZSM-5-C > MZSM-5-B > MZSM-5-A > conventional HZSM-5. In ethanol to light olefin reaction, MZSM-5-C achieved the highest light olefin yield (318.3 mL g −1 ) and ethylene selectivity (42.3%) at 400 °C. In oleic acid to light olefin reaction, MZSM-5-B achieved a complete conversion of oleic acid at 500 °C, and obtained the highest light olefin selectivity (38.1%) at 550 °C. The difference may be relevant to the size and chemical structure of feedstock molecular as well as the acidity of catalysts. Regardless of ethanol or oleic acid as feedstock, introduction of mesopore in zeolites significantly enhanced the light olefin yield and selectivity.

This study has reported that a GR-5 DNAzyme based lead ion strip biosensor could exhibit an enhanced specificity with the assistance of graphene oxide (GO). This enhancement results from the specific π-stacking interaction between the ribose rings of the nucleobases and the carbon hexagons in GO which can reduce the false positive interference by removing unhybridized ssDNA during the annealing of GR-5 DNAzyme. Meanwhile, conjugate pad was sprayed with two kinds of AuNP-DNA probes, and nitrocellulose membrane test zone and control zone were immobilized with two kinds of biotin-DNA probes, respectively. The limit of detection of this strip biosensor was estimated to be about 0.05 nM (S/N = 3) and 1 nM (with naked eyes) with a linear range from 0.01 to 100 μM. Furthermore, the strip biosensor exhibited excellent selectivity toward Pb 2+ in the presence of other divalent metal ions. For real soil samples, the obtained recoveries were in the range from 91.5% to 113.1%.

Catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran (DHMF) via Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) reaction is a very important pathway for the effective utilization of biomass. In this process, the development of high-efficiency heterogeneous catalysts is the key, which has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Herein, a zirconium-based organic-inorganic coordination polymer with magnetic property (MZCCP) was successfully prepared by the reaction of zirconium tetrachloride (ZrCl 4 ) and cyanuric acid (CA) on the surface of ferriferrous oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ). As expected, MZCCP was an excellent acid-base bifunctional catalyst with the higher acid-base strength and content and the proper acid-base ratio as well as the appropriate surface area and pore size, and so it showed high catalytic activity for the CTH of HMF into DHMF with satisfactory yield of 93.4% at a moderate reaction temperature of 140 °C for 5 h in the presence of 2-butanol, which simultaneously acted as hydrogen donor and reaction medium. Furthermore, it should be specially noted that MZCCP could be easily separated from the reaction mixture by using an outer magnet, and repetitively used at least five reaction runs without an obvious loss of activity. More importantly, MZCCP could also be applicable for the CTH of 5-methylfurfural (MF), furfural (FF), cyclohexanone (CHN), levulinic acid (LA) and ethyl levulinate (EL) into the corresponding products in high yields, indicating that it possessed a superior universality for the selective reduction of various biomass-derived carbonyl compounds.

BACKGROUND 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-HMF), a by-product of the Maillard reaction, usually present in fried and baked food, may cause potential harm to the human body. Here, the interaction between 5-HMF and calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) under physiological buffer (pH 7.4) was studied using multi-spectroscopic methods combined with multivariate curve resolution–alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) chemometrics and molecular simulation techniques. RESULTS The concentration profiles and pure spectra of the three components (5-HMF, ctDNA and 5-HMF–ctDNA complex) were extracted from highly overlapping spectra using MCR-ALS analysis, which verified the formation of 5-HMF–ctDNA complex. The binding constant being of the order of 10 3 L mol −1 at four temperatures (292, 298, 304 and 310 K) indicated a weak affinity in the binding of 5-HMF to ctDNA. The binding interaction was mainly driven by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. Viscosity analysis, melting assay, ionic strength effect and competitive fluorescence studies ascertained that 5-HMF bound to ctDNA through groove binding, and it tended to bind to guanine–cytosine rich region of ctDNA which was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectra and molecular docking. Circular dichroism spectral analysis and DNA cleavage assays indicated that the ctDNA conformation was altered from B to A form and 5-HMF caused DNA damage at higher concentration. CONCLUSIONS The results suggested that 5-HMF bound to ctDNA through groove binding and caused DNA damage. This research may contribute to understand the binding mechanism of 5-HMF to ctDNA and to the assessment of the toxicological effect of 5-HMF in biological processes. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

This study aimed to experimentally investigate the effect of HZSM-5 on the distribution of volatile products, especially carbon monoxide (CO), C 1 –C 5 hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs) during catalytic pyrolysis of lignin and lignin model compounds. Catechol was pyrolyzed using a two-stage tubular reactor (TS-TR) connected to a gas chromatography system over HZSM-5 at 550–950 °C. Forty-three products, including four inorganic gases, twenty C 1 –C 5 hydrocarbons, and nine AHs were quantified using three GC-columns. Results indicated that HZSM-5 accelerated the catechol conversion with a large amount of CO and AHs produced. C 1 –C 5 hydrocarbons were formed during non-catalytic pyrolysis of model compounds, and consumed quickly during HZSM-5 catalytic pyrolysis of catechol. Catalytic pyrolysis of phenol , guaiacol and syringol was carried out at 650 °C in the TS-TR over HZSM-5. HZSM-5 obviously promoted the conversion of lignin model compounds, and largely increased the yield of volatile products especially CO and AHs. Three lignin samples were also catalytically pyrolyzed over HZSM-5 in the TS-TR at 650 °C. HZSM-5 increased the yield of C 2 -C 3 hydrocarbons and AHs, and reduced the yield of oxygenated compounds. HZSM-5 could promote the formation of AHs (lower than 10 wt%) during lignin pyrolysis, but not as obviously as during model compounds pyrolysis (higher than 19 wt%). High yields of char and tar would account for the low catalytic efficiency of HZSM-5 during lignin pyrolysis.

Achieving high yields of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from carbohydrates remains a challenge today. With the aim of developing an efficient and inexpensive catalyst for the production of HMF, manganese phosphate (MnPO 4 ) was used as the sole catalyst for the catalytic conversion of biomass-derived carbohydrates into HMF in the H 2 O/tetrahydrofuran (THF) biphasic reaction system. The effects of various factors, including reaction temperature, reaction time, system, and catalyst dosage on the conversion of carbohydrates to HMF were explored. An impressing HMF yield of 59% was achieved with glucose as a feedstock at 160 °C for 90 min. Meanwhile, up to 44% of HMF was also obtained with microcrystalline cellulose as a feedstock at 170 °C for 120 min. In addition, MnPO 4 catalyst also displayed outstanding catalytic activities for the conversion of other biomass-derived carbohydrates including monosaccharides and disaccharides . Combined with the dissolution characteristics of the MnPO 4 , a possible catalytic mechanism for the conversion of carbohydrates into HMF catalyzed by MnPO 4 was proposed. The catalytic approach proposed in this paper exhibited a promising potential for HMF production via optimizing the catalytic process.
