A robust heterogeneous catalyst SIL-PW/MIL-101(Cr) for biodiesel production was fabricated via a bottom-up strategy using phosphotungstic acid (HPW) as a bridge to integrate SO 3 H-functionalized ionic liquid (SIL) with MIL-101(Cr). The characterization results indicated that HPW was well dispersed in the cavities of MIL-101(Cr). The subsequently introduced ionic liquid reacted with HPW to form heteropolyanion-based ionic liquid, which could be embedded in the mesoporous cages. These newly-developed SIL-PW/MIL-101(Cr) exhibited considerable catalytic activity, with 94.3 % conversion of oleic acid . The comparison experiments manifested the enhanced catalytic performance was attributed to the Brønsted acid sites originating from -SO 3 H groups together with the Lewis acid sites. Moreover, the mesoporous structure of MIL-101(Cr) remained intact during immobilization process, which was beneficial for diffusion of large-sized reactants. Due to the bridging function of HPW, no obvious leaching of active component during recycling was observed and the conversion maintained 91.8 % after reused for five times, displaying satisfactory reusability. This study could open new avenues for designing heterogeneous catalysts with multiple active sites through bridging strategy.

To identify adulterated camel meat in emerging markets, there is an urgent need for sensitive, rapid, and convenient detection methods. In this study, a novel fluorescent sensing platform was developed to effectively identify pork components adulterated in camel meat by regulating the surface charge properties of MIL-101(Cr). Our data demonstrated that the modification of polyethylenimine (PEI) had minimal impact on the crystal structure of MIL-101(Cr). However, it significantly affected the adsorption behavior of MIL-101(Cr) towards 6-carboxyfluorescein (FAM) labelled DNA, thereby influencing the response of fluorescence quenching-recovery. Under optimal conditions, the proposed turn-on fluorescent biosensor, based on PEI-MIL-101(Cr) exhibited high sensitivity with a detection limit of 42 pM. It also demonstrated excellent selectivity for specific target DNA, successfully detecting a pork fraction of 0.45 % (w/w) in camel meat. This study was aimed to provide a fresh perspective on the potential application of functional materials derived from metal-organic frameworks in detecting food adulteration .

ABSTRACT Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] pollution has attracted intense interest in research on heavy metal pollution removal. Here, quartz sand chitosan zero-valent iron (QS-CTS@ZVI) was prepared as a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) medium material by using PRB permeable reaction wall technology and modified CTS-loaded ZVI-coated quartz sand. Characterization analyses were performed with scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry. The effects of the reaction time, reaction temperature, initial solution pH, initial Cr(VI) concentration, adsorbent dosage, interfering ions and adsorption cycle on the adsorption of Cr(VI) and total Cr on QS-CTS@ZVI were examined. Then, the adsorption of Cr(VI) by QS-CTS@ZVI was investigated. The results showed that for a ZVI:CTS ratio of 1:1 (m:m), a QS:ZVI ratio of 1:2 (m:m), a pH of 3, t = 5 h, an initial Cr(VI) concentration of 200 mg/L, a QS-CTS@ZVI dosage of 3.5 g/L, and T = 25°C, the efficiencies of Cr(VI) and total Cr removal by QS-CTS@ZVI were 91.6% and 90.9%, respectively. The adsorption efficiency of QS-CTS@ZVI for Cr(VI) was approximately 80% after three reuses. The coexistence of SO 4 2- in water can significantly inhibit the Cr(VI) adsorption and removal process. The process of adsorption of Cr(VI) by QS-CTS@ZVI conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation and the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model.

In this work, a simple but effective method based on Gamma-ray initiated polymerization was reported for the first time through direct irradiation of CNCs and ionic liquid monomer to obtain poly (ionic liquids) functionalized CNCs (IL@CNCs). The adsorptive removal of Congo red (CR) from aqueous solution by IL@CNCs was also examined and the influence of contact time, pH values, initial concentrations and temperature on adsorption behavior was investigated in detail. Under the same adsorption conditions, the adsorption capacity was increased from 59.72 mg/g (CNCs) to 195.83 mg/g (IL@CNCs). The results of the adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics showed that the experimental data were more suitable to be described by the Freundlich isotherm adsorption model and the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption process of CR on the surface of the adsorbent was endothermic and spontaneous. When the aqueous solution was acidic, it was more conducive to the adsorption of CR. At 100% breakthrough, the value of adsorption capacity is 199.95 mg/g and the value of partition coefficient is 9.64. Moreover, the adsorption capacity is expected to be further improved through adjustment of polymerization parameters and this method can also be used for preparation other poly (ionic liquids) modified composites.

Abstract The modes of occurrence of trace elements in coal reveal essential information about environmental impact during coal exploitation and utilization. Utilizing improvements on a recently published sequential leaching protocol, this study investigated the modes of occurrence of Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Cd, and Pb (water-soluble, ion-exchangeable, carbonate-bound, sulfide-bound, organic-bound, and silicate-bound) in coal samples collected from the Nantong coalfield in southwestern China. Results suggest the improved method favorably affected the sequential leaching experiment. The ashing temperature did not exceed 390°C and did not damage the structure of the silicate minerals, facilitating the effective extraction of trace elements within the organic matter. The case study in the Nantong coalfield demonstrated that the water-soluble and ion-exchangeable fractions account for only a small portion of the six elements. Specifically, chromium exhibited affinities with carbonates and silicates. The percentages of different target fractions for cobalt varied significantly in different samples. Nickel was almost evenly distributed in the fractions of carbonates, sulfides, organic matter, and silicates. For cadmium, silicate was the main fraction, followed by sulfides. Lead predominantly appeared in carbonates and sulfides. The correlativity of different elements in the corresponding fractions revealed carbonates and sulfides as the primary carriers for all six elements, followed by silicates and organic matter. Overall, Cr, Co, Ni, and Cu exhibited very close relationships and similar distribution patterns in different coal samples. Organic-bound Cr, Co, and Ni were noticeable in the No. 4 and 6 coal seams, though they were not the dominant fractions. The affinity between Pb and Cd indicated they have similar modes of occurrence.

Iron/chromium hydroxide coprecipitation controls the fate and transport of toxic chromium (Cr) in many natural and engineered systems. Organic coatings on soil and engineered surfaces are ubiquitous; however, mechanistic controls of these organic coatings over Fe/Cr hydroxide coprecipitation are poorly understood. Here, Fe/Cr hydroxide coprecipitation was conducted on model organic coatings of humic acid (HA), sodium alginate (SA), and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The organics bonded with SiO2 through ligand exchange with carboxyl (–COOH), and the adsorbed amounts and pKa values of –COOH controlled surface charges of coatings. The adsorbed organic films also had different complexation capacities with Fe/Cr ions and Fe/Cr hydroxide particles, resulting in significant differences in both the amount (on HA > SA(–COOH) ≫ BSA(–NH2)) and composition (Cr/Fe molar ratio: on BSA(–NH2) ≫ HA > SA(–COOH)) of heterogeneous precipitates. Negatively charged –COOH attracted more Fe ions and oligomers of hydrolyzed Fe/Cr species and subsequently promoted heterogeneous precipitation of Fe/Cr hydroxide nanoparticles. Organic coatings containing –NH2 were positively charged at acidic pH because of the high pKa value of the functional group, limiting cation adsorption and formation of coprecipitates. Meanwhile, the higher local pH near the –NH2 coatings promoted the formation of Cr(OH)3. This study advances fundamental understanding of heterogeneous Fe/Cr hydroxide coprecipitation on organics, which is essential for successful Cr remediation and removal in both natural and engineered settings, as well as the synthesis of Cr-doped iron (oxy)hydroxides for material applications.

Sludge hydrochar used for chromium-contaminated soil remediation is susceptible to natural aging with soil minerals, which may alter its electrochemical properties and affect its remediation performance. In this study, the effect of co-aging with soil minerals (soluble mineral salts [FeCl 3 , MnCl 2 , AlCl 3 , and CaCl 2 ] and clay minerals [kaolinite]) on the redox activity of sludge hydrochar for Cr(VI) reduction was investigated. The subsequent aging process revealed that Fe 3+ and Al 3+ ions oxidized the stabilized alkanes to functional groups with high electron-donating capacities, such as -OH and C-O, because of their oxidizing properties or electron-mediating facilitated by the formation of the crystal structure, while enhancing the electron-donating and electron-mediating capacities of the co-aging hydrochar. However, Mn 2+ was easily oxidized to Mn(III) and Mn(IV), which protected alkanes from oxidation. Simultaneously, Ca 2+ and kaolinite were encapsulated on the hydrochar surface, hindering electron-mediating during oxidation. None of the three substantially enhanced the electron-donating capacity of the hydrochar during the co-aging process. Because of the richness of soil minerals, it is vital to consider redox reactions as a critical factor when applying hydrochar for soil remediation.

Flavonoid compounds such as luteolin exhibit hypolipidemic effects, and there are few reports on the hypoglycemic activity of luteolin derivatives. In this research, 6,8-(1,3-diaminoguanidine) luteolin (DAGL) and its Cr complex (DAGL·Cr) were obtained as a result of structural modifications to luteolin, and the hypoglycemic activities and the composition of intestinal microbiota in T2DM mice were investigated. This study found that DAGL and DAGL·Cr could significantly restore body weight, FBG, OGTT, AUC, and GSP in T2DM mice. Moreover, the pancreatic islet function index and the biochemical indicators of serum and the liver were also significantly improved. The histopathological results also showed that DAGL and DAGL·Cr had a stronger repair ability in the liver and the pancreas. It was also revealed that the potential hypoglycemic mechanism of DAGL and DAGL·Cr was involved in the simultaneous regulation of PI3K/AKT-1/GSK-3β/GLUT-4 and PI3K/AKT-1/mTOR/S6K1/IRS-1. Furthermore, DAGL and DAGL·Cr could also regulate the structure of the intestinal microbiota and increase the content of SCFA to relieve the symptoms of hyperglycemia in T2DM mice. This included a significant reduction in the ratio of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes (F/B), and at the genus level, an increase in the relative abundance of Alistipe and Ruminiclostridium, and improvement in the content of SCFA in the feces of T2DM mice. In conclusion, in this study, DAGL and DAGL·Cr were found to improve hyperglycemia in T2DM mice by improving the pancreatic islet function index, regulating the biochemical indicators of serum and the liver, repairing damaged tissues, and regulating the PI3K/AKT-1 signaling pathway as well as reducing F/B, increasing the relative abundance of intestinal beneficial microbiota, and the content of SCFA in the feces. The hypoglycemic effect of DAGL·Cr on the body weight, serum IL-10, serum IL-6, and pancreatic islet function index was significantly better than that of DAGL.

UIO-66-NH 2 was successfully deposited on electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers treated by thermal oxidative stabilization (TOS) via a simple and effective in situ growth method. Owing to the formation of acridone rings, naphthyridinering rings and hydronaphthyridine rings during the TOS process, the thermally stabilized electrospun PAN (TSPAN) nanofibers were greatly improved in stability and heat resistance and could provide adequate nucleation points for MOFs growth, indicating an ideal MOFs deposition support without additional surface modifications. The results demonstrated that UIO-66-NH 2 crystals distributed relatively uniform and dense on the TSPAN nanofibers with mass loading up to 28.1 wt%. Compared with powdered UIO-66-NH 2 , the formed UIO-66-NH 2 @TSPAN nanofibers showed enhanced visible light driven photocatalytic activity towards reduction of Cr(VI) due to the improvement of visible light response, more excellent photothermal conversion ability and the increase of exposed active sites. The photocatalytic reduction rate of Cr(VI) over UIO-66-NH 2 @TSPAN was up to 93% within 180 min and the rate constant (k = 0.1362) was 2.3 times that of powdered UIO-66-NH 2 (k = 0.00576). Significantly, the mechanical flexibility and structural stability endowed the nanofibrous photocatalyst easy operation and outstanding reusable capability. The photocatalytic activity for Cr(VI) reduction still preserved 90% after five cycles. This work proposes a facile strategy for preparation of free-standing MOFs nanofibers and provides MOFs-based photocatalysts a new opportunitie for broad applications in water treatment.

Thermochemical heat storage based on inorganic salt hydrates is a promising approach to relieve the heat energy supply and demand conflicts, but there exist lots of defects of pure salts when applied to the thermochemical. This paper attempted to use functionalized Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) as the porous matrices to improve the heat storage performance of inorganic salt hydrates. A series of MOFs/CaCl 2 composites based on MIL-101(Cr)-X (X = -NH 2 , –SO 3 H, H, –CH 3 , –F) were successfully synthesized and fully characterized by combining multiple techniques (i.e. powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy , energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, N 2 adsorption-desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy , thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry). The water sorption properties of the series of MOFs/CaCl 2 composites were studied during the hydration process, and a continuous adsorption/desorption experiment was also performed to investigate the cycle stability of the MOFs/CaCl 2 composites. The results show that the hydrophilic MOFs based composites have higher water sorption capacity (0.6 g(H 2 O)/g(sample) for MIL-101(Cr)–SO 3 H/CaCl 2 ) accompanied with higher heat storage density (1274 J/g for MIL-101(Cr)–SO 3 H/CaCl 2 ). Moreover, the series of MOFs all presented excellent cycle performance with little loss after continuous 17 adsorption/desorption cycles.

● The differences in the adsorption mechanisms of MIL-101(Fe) for small molecular ligands, larger molecular ligands, and mixed-ligand complexes were investigated. ● The adsorption capacity of MIL-101(Fe) for TA-Cr(Ⅲ) was superior to that of other ligands, with a maximum adsorption amount reaching 183.15 mg/g. ● The adsorption competitive of TA-Cr(Ⅲ) is stronger than that of EDTA-Cr(Ⅲ) and TA-EDTA-Cr(Ⅲ) in the mixed solution. ● The order of binding affinities for different interactions was clarified by combining DFT calculations. The ubiquity of diverse organic-Cr(Ⅲ) complexes in industrial effluents poses a significant challenge to water remediation due to their high stability and complex competitive behaviors. In this study, MIL-101(Fe) was employed to decipher the differential adsorption behaviors and mechanisms of single and co-existing Cr(Ⅲ) complexes, specifically targeting natural (Tannic acid (TA)) and anthropogenic (EDTA) ligands. The experimental results revealed a distinct selective hierarchy as TA-Cr(Ⅲ) > free Cr(Ⅲ) > EDTA-Cr(Ⅲ) > TA-EDTA-Cr(Ⅲ), with values of 183.15, 134.05, 93.02, and 73.80 mg/g, respectively. Among them, TA-Cr(Ⅲ) demonstrated an extremely strong adsorption capacity. Kinetic and isotherm analyses confirmed a chemisorption-dominated process. Crucially, the competitive mechanism was elucidated by integrating spectroscopic characterization with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The results revealed that while electrostatic interactions drive the initial approach, the specific affinity of phenolic hydroxyl groups in TA towards the Fe-clusters of metal organic frameworks (MOFs), combined with strong π-π stacking interactions, provides an advantage for TA-complexes. The differences of organic-metal complexes were revealed through analysis of electrostatic potential, frontier molecular orbitals and binding energy. This work provides a fundamental understanding of ligand-dependent competitive adsorption, offering a theoretical basis for the selective removal of complexed heavy metals in realistic aquatic environments.

High-temperature materials with superior long-term oxidation resistance above 2000 °C are urgently sought for next-generation hypersonic vehicles. Here, (W 0.28 Ta 0.28 Mo 0.28 Cr 0.15 )(Al 0.2 Si 0.8 ) 2 -Al 2 O 3 dual-phase high-entropy alumino-silicides (HEAS-Al 2 O 3 ) are developed, which exhibit superior long-term oxidation resistance up to 2100 °C. To be specific, the as-fabricated HEAS-Al 2 O 3 samples are found to consistently follow an oxygen-diffusion parabolic law across 1700–2100 °C, possessing a high activation energy of 234.4 kJ mol −1 . Moreover, an ultralow oxidation depth of 0.4 mm after 120 min of laser oxidation and a linear plasma ablation rate of 0.026 μm s −1 at 2100 °C are achieved. Such remarkable oxidation resistance is mainly attributed to the increase in Al cations due to Al 2 O 3 incorporation, coupled with the inclusion of multiple cationic elements, to significantly enhance the rigidity of the glass network. Thereby, the viscosity and high-temperature stability of the resulting aluminosilicate glass are markedly improved, effectively protecting the underlying unoxidized HEAS-Al 2 O 3 . The as-developed HEAS-Al 2 O 3 shows great promise as a thermal structural candidate for next-generation hypersonic vehicles.
