It is challenging to separate the materials for treating arsenic contamination of soil and water from systems. The natural magnetite covered with Fe–Mn bimetallic (oxyhydr)oxide (Fe–Mn MSM) was effectively created in this study, and its potential use in removing As from water and soil was investigated. Batch adsorption studies showed that the As(V) adsorption on Fe–Mn MSM could achieve equilibrium after 120 min when the initial As(V) concentration was 39.85 mg/L. The calculated maximum adsorption of Fe–Mn MSM for As(V) was 17.94 mg/g at 20 °C. The mechanism of As(V) adsorption was confirmed to be a combination of ligand exchange and electrostatic attraction by the outcomes of FTIR analysis, SEM, and batch adsorption tests. Fe–Mn MSM can also be a successful amendment for cleaning up As-polluted soil. The 5% Fe–Mn MSM treatment group had the lowest exchangeable fraction of As (EX-As) concentration, 0.039 mg/kg (8.3% of initial EX-As), after 40 days. Magnetic separation could be used to quickly and completely recover the used Fe–Mn MSM from the soil. EX-As was present in higher concentrations on Fe–Mn MSM than that of the original soil. As a result, this work offers a strategy that may be put into practice to cheaply remove As from soil and water while also encouraging the reuse of natural magnetite. Graphical abstract

Increasing consumption of nanoparticles (NPs) led to their accumulation in environment like soil, causing public anxiety to their hazards. In this study, dynamic impacts of three NPs (silver (Ag), zinc oxide (ZnO), and fullerene (C 60 )), and their derivatives on soil were evaluated along time. Different influences caused by category and concentration were also compared. As results demonstrated, Ag NPs and Ag + brought more evident toxicity on soil enzymes than others, in which dehydrogenase exerted the most sensitivity. Such stress to enzymes was dose-dependent in groups of Ag NPs, Ag + , and C 60 OH. Two-way ANOVA reveled the interaction of concentration and category on enzymes between different groups. More significant reduction of bacterial density and alterations of bacteria community were observed with Ag NPs treatment. Nitrogen transformation was suppressed by various NPs, via inhibition on related bacteria including Flavobacterium and Nitrospira . Existence of time effect on bacteria was also confirmed. In brief, metal NPs and their dissolved ions could pose stronger threats to soil microenvironment compared to metal oxide and carbon-based NPs, and their derivatives. These results provide comprehensive evidence for effects of NPs on soil, which could generate new leads on secure application of them.

We analyzed a novel cationic collector using chemical plant byproducts, such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP). Our aim is to establish a highly effective and economical process for the removal of quartz from collophane. A micro-flotation test with a 25 mg·L −1 collector at pH value of 6–10 demonstrates a considerable difference in the floatability of pure quartz and fluorapatite. Flotation tests for a collophane sample subjected to the first reverse flotation for magnesium removal demonstrates that a rough flotation process (using a 0.4 kg·t −1 new collector at pH = 6) results in a collophane concentrate with 29.33wt% P 2 O 5 grade and 12.66wt% SiO 2 at a 79.69wt% P 2 O 5 recovery, providing desirable results. Mechanism studies using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, zeta potential, and contact angle measurements show that the adsorption capacity of the new collector for quartz is higher than that for fluorapatite. The synergistic effect of DBP increases the difference in hydrophobicity between quartz and fluorapatite. The maximum defoaming rate of the novel cationic collector reaches 142.8 mL·min −1 . This is considerably higher than that of a conventional cationic collector.

Marine biofouling has become the main factor of marine economic loss. In this article, we studied the relationship between the PS-PEG hydrogels properties and the anti-bio adhesive behavior, such as amphiphilic, swelling degree, elastic modulus and roughness. Testing the adhesion behavior of marine bacteria and benthic diatom on PS-PEG hydrogel with different polystyrene microspheres content. Meanwhile, the influence of polystyrene microsphere content on the antifouling performance of hydrogel was emphatically analyzed and proposed the anti-bio adhesive behavior mechanism of PS-PEG hydrogels. The results showed that the antifouling performance of PS-PEG hydrogels was significantly enhanced by adding polystyrene microspheres. In the marine bacterial adhesion behavior, when polystyrene microspheres were added at 14.2 wt.%, the bacterial adhesion rate was respectively 3.85% and 0.01% for rinsing and washing samples, and the bacterial removal rate was 99.74%. In addition, in the benthic diatom adhesion behavior, the chlorophyll concentration a-values after rinsing and washing samples were only 0.019 mg/L and 0.002 mg/L with the same content of polystyrene microspheres, and the removal rate was 89.6%. At the same time, polystyrene microspheres enable PS-PEG hydrogels to exhibit amphiphilic, which could form a hydration layer by surface reorganization in seawater, the hardness and toughness of PS-PEG hydrogel substrate can be increased by adding appropriate polystyrene microspheres, and it also reduced the surface roughness of hydrogels after swelling in seawater. Accordingly, PS-PEG hydrogels can achieve efficient anti-bio adhesive behavior mainly through the synergistic effect of a highly hydrated layer, unstable surface and low roughness.

Anaprazole, a new proton pump inhibitor (PPI), is designed for the treatment of acid-related diseases, such as gastric ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux. This study explored the in vitro metabolic transformation of anaprazole. The metabolic stabilities of anaprazole in human plasma and human liver microsomes (HLM) were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). Then, the contribution (%) of non-enzymatic and cytochrome P450s (CYPs) enzyme-mediated anaprazole metabolism was assessed. To obtain the metabolic pathways of anaprazole, the metabolites generated in HLM, thermal deactivated HLM, and cDNA-expressed recombinant CYPs incubation systems were identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/Q-TOF–MS). Results showed that anaprazole was very stable in human plasma and unstable in HLM. The contribution (%) of non-enzymatic vs . CYPs enzyme-mediated metabolism was 49% vs . 51%. CYP3A4 was the major enzyme (48.3%), followed by CYP2C9 (17.7%) and CYP2C8 (12.3%), in responsible for the metabolism of anaprazole. Specific chemical inhibitors targeting CYP enzymes notably blocked the metabolic transformation of anaprazole. Six metabolites of anaprazole were identified in the non-enzymatic system, whereas 17 metabolites were generated in HLM. The biotransformation reactions mainly included sulfoxide reduction to thioether, sulfoxide oxidation to sulfone, deoxidation, dehydrogenation, O-dealkylation or O-demethylation of thioether, O-demethylation and dehydrogenation of thioether, O-dealkylation and dehydrogenation of thioether, thioether O-dealkylation and dehydrogenation of thioether, and O-dealkylation of sulfone. Both enzymatic and non-enzymatic metabolisms contribute to the clearance of anaprazole in human. Anaprazole is less likely to develop drug-drug interactions in clinical use compared to other PPIs.

The direct utilization of solar energy to convert CO 2 into renewable chemicals remains a challenge. One essential difficulty is the development of efficient and inexpensive light-absorbers. Here we show a series of aminoanthraquinone organic dyes to promote the efficiency for visible light-driven CO 2 reduction to CO when coupled with an Fe porphyrin catalyst. Importantly, high turnover numbers can be obtained for both the photosensitizer and the catalyst, which has not been achieved in current light-driven systems. Structure-function study performed with substituents having distinct electronic effects reveals that the built-in donor-acceptor property of the photosensitizer significantly promotes the photocatalytic activity. We anticipate this study gives insight into the continued development of advanced photocatalysts for solar energy conversion.

The damping performance of chlorinated butyl rubber (CIIR) cannot satisfy the rigorous requirements of damping and vibration reduction. Hindered phenol can endow rubber composites with good damping performance, but these small molecules may migrate from rubber matrices. Here, a novel type of damping agent based on the hyperbranched polyester grafted hindered phenol (AG-HP102) was prepared by grafting hindered phenol (AG) with hydroxyl terminated hyperbranched polyester (HP102). It was then incorporated into chlorinated butyl rubber (CIIR) to prepare damping rubber composites. The test results showed that tan δ max of CIIR/AG-HP102 (7 phr) was 1.40, which was 32.1% higher than that of pure CIIR, 1.05. In addition, the glass transition temperature ( T g ) was increased from − 26.0 to − 16 ℃. The mechanical property tests showed that the tensile strength and elongation at break of the CIIR/AG-HP102 (7 phr) composite reached 8.21 MPa and 1192%, respectively, which was 290.9% and 39.5% higher than those of pure CIIR, 2.11 MPa and 858%. These experiment results can offer some useful information for the design and fabrication of high-performance polymeric damping materials.

Nanotheranostics, which combine the therapeutic and diagnostic functions in one integrated system, have received extensive attentions in cancer treatments because they enable non-invasive diagnosis, tumor-targeted drug delivery, and real-time monitoring of therapeutic response. However, due to the high systemic toxicity of commonly used chemotherapeutics, current treatment still has limitations. Herein, to simultaneously achieve safe cancer therapy and therapeutic response monitoring, an iodinated prodrug strategy was proposed. 2,3,5-Triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA) was used to modify both paclitaxel (PTX) and the polymeric vehicle, so that the encapsulation efficiency of PTX could be increased and the systemic toxicity could be reduced. As-prepared prodrug nanoparticles could accumulate passively in the tumor site and promptly release loaded drugs in response to the overexpressed GSH in cancer cells, which then caused efficient cell cycle arrest and apoptosis like that of the parent PTX. With this rational design, safe and efficient antitumor therapy and real-time computer tomography (CT) imaging could be simultaneously realized, facilitating potential CT imaging-guided therapy of metastatic breast cancer.

In proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), the most advanced catalysts are mainly carbon loaded with platinum (Pt), but the cathodic catalytic active center is too low to match the oxidation activity and rate at the anode. Co atoms doped into the lattice of Pt alloy change the electronic structure of platinum and reduce the binding energy of oxygen atoms. Au or Rh atoms embedded into the lattice of Pt 3 Co alloy compensate the defect and enhance the activity and rate of the oxygen reduction. Through base on density functional theory (DFT), the adsorption energy for oxygen on Pt 3 Co, Au-Pt 3 Co, and Rh-Pt 3 Co and the segregation energy of Co atoms were calculated. The results show that Au or Rh doped weakens the binding energy of Pt for oxygen on the Pt 3 Co alloy and improves the activity and stability of oxygen reduction. Compared with Rh, the introduction of Au element shows better effects in the electrocatalytic reaction process. Graphical Abstract

In recent years, high refractive index polythiourethane materials have attracted increasing attention. In this study, the soft segment part of conventional polyurethane was replaced by ethylenedithiol, and a series of nanocomposite films containing Mercaptoethanol (ME) capped ZnS NPs were prepared by UV curing after the synthesis of the bifunctional linear prepolymer with hydroxyethyl acrylate as capping agent and trifunctional prepolymer with trimethylolpropane triacrylate as sulfhydrylate capping. ZnS NPs were well dispersed in the resin system, and the transmittance of the film decreased with the increase of ZnS content, but it did not float much and still has 80% transmittance at 40%. The addition of ZnS had a significant improvement on the refractive index. The RI of the system without the addition of particles was less than 1.5, the system with 40% was greater than 1.6. It was worth noting that the Abbe number was almost greater than 30, which was in the category of low dispersion.

The COVID-19 pandemic that is still prevalent around the globe each day consumes massive disposable face masks and consequently lays a heavy burden on waste management. Meanwhile, the incineration of these medical wastes further escalates the already overwhelming carbon emission that leads to global warming and climate change. To offer a potential solution addressing medical waste and CO 2 emission challenges, we herein develop a synthetic protocol to upgrade face masks into Ni, N-doped graphene (Ni–N-C) sheet catalysts for selectively reducing CO 2 into CO electrochemically. The high specific surface area and the uniform dispersion of Ni active sites of the catalyst derived from a regular disposable face mask enable a near-unity CO Faradaic efficiency (FE) at the current density of 200 mA cm −2 . This study offers outside-of-the-box thinking to address environmental issues by turning medical wastes into CO 2 reduction catalysts.

Orally administered peptides or proteins are garnering increasing preference owing to their superiority in terms of patient compliance and convenience. However, the development of oral protein formulations has stalled due to the low bioavailability of macromolecules that encounter the aggressive gastrointestinal environment and harsh mucus villi barrier. Herein, we propose an ideal reverse micelle/self-emulsifying drug delivery system (RM/SEDDS) nanoplatform that is capable of improving the oral bioavailability of hydrophilic peptides by preventing enzymatic degradation and enhancing mucosal permeability. Upon the passage through the mucus, the self-emulsifying drug delivery system with optimal surface properties effectively penetrates the viscoelastic mucosal barrier, followed by the exposure of the inner reverse micelle amphipathic vectors, which autonomously form continua with the lipidic cell membrane and facilitate the internalization of drugs. This membrane-fusion mechanism inaugurates a new way for hydrophilic peptide delivery in the free form, circumventing the traditional impediments of the cellular internalization of nanocarriers and subsequent poor release of drugs. And more importantly, reverse micelles are not spatially specific to the laden drugs, which enables their delivery for a myriad of peptide clinical drugs. In conclusion, as an exquisitely designed nanoplatform, RM/SEDDS overcomes multiple physiological barriers and opens a new path for drug cellular entry, providing new prospects for the development of oral drug delivery systems.
