Ferrate is increasingly used as an oxidant for chemical oxidation of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in reclaimed water. However, the instability of ferrate in aqueous solution and its low content of active ingredients have limited its application in water purification . In this paper, a novel β-cyclodextrin encapsulated potassium ferrate composite (KFO@β-CD) is synthesized for the first time using a thermomelting-condensation method and used to degrade carbamazepine (CBZ). This study evaluates and demonstrates the superior stability, sustained release behavior and hygroscopic characteristics of KFO@β-CD. In-depth investigations show that KFO@β-CD with a mass ratio of 10:1 can degrade 85.2 % of CBZ in 60 min. Analyzing the transformation pathways of CBZ has shown that Fe(VI) performed more reactive with olefinic double bond owing to electron-rich organic moieties, which convert carbamazepine to oxidized products with low molecular weight . These results significantly improve the state of our knowledge about this highly efficient and stable oxidant, which is likely to be useful for further degradation of PPCPs.

ABSTRACT In this study, peanut shell was modified using β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and citric acid to improve the adsorption capacity for removal of lead ion (Pb 2+ ) and bisphenol S (BPS) from solution in batch mode. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, X-ray fluorescence analysis, specific surface area analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, etc were used to characterize the adsorbent before and after modification. The results showed that the adsorbent was successfully modified. The adsorption results of Pb 2+ and BPS on β-CD-PS indicated that acidic conditions were not conducive to the adsorption of Pb 2+ , the adsorption of BPS basically remained unchanged at pH 2~7, and alkaline conditions were not conducive to the adsorption. The presence of salt had a negative effect on Pb 2+ , but had no effect on the adsorption of BPS. The Langmuir and Koble–Corrigan models could predict the equilibrium adsorption process of Pb 2+ while Temkin and Koble–Corrigan models could describe the equilibrium adsorption process of BPS. The adsorption quantity from experiments is 89.6 mg·g –1 for Pb 2+ and 16.2 mg·g –1 for BPS at 293 K, respectively. The adsorption process of Pb 2+ was consistent with the pseudo-first-order and Elovich models, indicating the presence of ion-exchange in the adsorption process; the adsorption of BPS was consistent with the pseudo-second-order model, indicating that chemisorption was the main rate-controlling step. Thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption of Pb 2+ was a spontaneous and endothermic reaction with increasing entropy, while the adsorption of BPS was a spontaneous and exothermic reaction with decreasing entropy. 0.1 mol·L –1 HNO 3 could desorb and regenerate the β-CD-PS adsorbed Pb 2+ for three times, and 75% C 2 H 5 OH had a better desorption and regeneration effect for BPS loaded β-CD-PS. β-CD-PS can effectively remove the lead ion and BPS from mixtures and the study can provide the basis for the effective utilization of peanut shell in environmental remediation.

Bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4 , BVO) is an ideal photoabsorber for the photoelectrocatalytic water splitting, but its performance and photostability limit its commercial application. Therefore, enhancing the catalytic performance and stability becomes an increasingly crucial issue. In this study, we report a composite catalytic material poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene, EDOT) (PEDOT)-modified β-FeOOH nanosheets loading onto the surface of BVO through the hydrolysis of Fe 3+ in BVO semiconductor film and the catalytic polymerization of EDOT form the conductive polymer. The structure facilitates the catalytic process, and when it is used in photoelectrocatalysis oxygen evolution reaction, it exhibits a photocurrent density of 3.3 mA cm −2 at 1.23 V versus standard hydrogen electrodes. Mechanistic studies show that the introduction of PEDOT-modified β-FeOOH optimized the electrode/electrolyte contact interface, adjusted the defect state, and provided catalytically active sites during the catalytic process. This study provides a feasible idea for exploring the catalytic mechanism of BVO-based photoelectrode and designing catalysts.

The β-Mo2C on different carbon supports was prepared conveniently via direct H2 reduction or self-reduction for catalytic conversion of Kraft lignin into aromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic alcohols, and aromatic aldehydes. The β-Mo2C on macroporous carbon (MC) with large pore size exhibits the highest activity with aromatic yield of 0.543 g/g Kraft lignin at 280 °C for 3 h, resulting from the accessibility of lignin fragments to β-Mo2C. Mo, MoO2, and MoO3 possess relatively low activity. Higher calcination temperature is required to obtain β-Mo2C over graphite (Gr) support than MC and activated carbon (AC), and small grain size of Gr-supported catalysts is beneficial for high activity. The β-Mo2C on AC exhibits the highest selectivity to aromatic hydrocarbons, which are attributed to highly dispersed β-Mo2C in micropores.

β-Zeolite was synthesized and modified with ethylenediamine (EDA). The synthesized materials were characterized and used for the removal of nickel(II) from aqueous solutions. The influences of the pH, contact time, and temperature on nickel(II) adsorption onto synthesized β-zeolite and β-zeolite modified with ethylenediamine (β-zeolite–EDA) were studied by a batch technique, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was employed to analyze the experimental data and identify the formation of coordination bonds between the adsorbents and nickel(II). The dynamic process showed that the adsorption of nickel(II) onto β-zeolite and β-zeolite–EDA matched the pseudo-second-order kinetics model, and the adsorption of nickel(II) was significantly dependent on the pH values. Through simulation of the adsorption isotherms by the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Radushkevich models, it could be seen that the adsorption patterns of nickel(II) onto β-zeolite and β-zeolite–EDA were mainly controlled by surface complexation and the adsorption processes were endothermic and spontaneous. The modification of β-zeolite–EDA improved the adsorption capacity of nickel(II) significantly; this shows a novel material for the removal of nickel(II) from the water environment for industrialized application.

β-carbolines (harman and norharman) are potentially mutagenic and have been reported in some vegetable oils. Sesame seed oil is obtained from roasted sesame seeds. During sesame oil processing, roasting is the key procedure to aroma enhancement, in which β-carbolines are produced. Pressed sesame seed oils cover most market share, while leaching solvents are used to extract oils from the pressed sesame cake to improve the utilization of the raw materials. β-carbolines are nonpolar heterocyclic aromatic amines with good solubility in leaching solvents (n-hexane); therefore, the β-carbolines in sesame cake migrated to the leaching sesame seed oil. The refining procedures are indispensable for leaching sesame seed oil, in which some small molecules can be reduced. Thus, the critical aim is to evaluate the changes in β-carboline content during the refining of leaching sesame seed oil and the key process steps for the removal of β-carbolines. In this work, the levels of β-carbolines (harman and norharman) in sesame seed oil during chemical refining processes (degumming, deacidification, bleaching and deodorization) have been determined using solid phase extraction and high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The results indicated that in the entire refining process, the levels of total β-carbolines greatly decreased, and the adsorption decolorization was the most effective process in reducing β-carbolines, which might be related to the adsorbent used in the decolorization process. In addition, the effects of adsorbent type, adsorbent dosage and blended adsorbent on β-carbolines in sesame seed oil during the decolorization process were investigated. It was concluded that oil refining can not only improve the quality of sesame seed oil, but also reduce most of the harmful β-carbolines.Keywords:adsorbent;β-carbolines;harman;norharman;sesame seed oil

It is of great importance to explore the selective hydrogenolysis of β-O-4 linkages, which account for 45–60% of all linkages in native lignin, to produce valued-added chemicals and fuels from biomass employing UV light as catalyst. TiO2exhibited satisfactory catalytic performances in various photochemical reactions, due to its versatile advantages involving high catalytic activity, low cost and non-toxicity. In this work, 20 wt.% Ni/TiO2and oxidant PCC (Pyridinium chlorochromate) were employed to promote the cleavage of β-O-4 alcohol to obtain high value chemicals under UV irradiation at room temperature. The Ni/TiO2photocatalyst can be magnetically recovered and efficiently reused in the following four consecutive recycling tests in the cleavage of β-O-4 ether bond in lignin. Mechanism studies suggested that the oxidation of β-O-4 alcohol to β-O-4 ketone by oxidant PCC first occurred during the reaction, and was followed by the photocatalysis of the obtained β-O-4 ketone to corresponding acetophenone and phenol derivates. Furthermore, the system was tested on a variety of lignin model substrates containing β-O-4 linkage for the generation of fragmentation products in good to excellent results.Keywords:lignin;β-O-4;photocatalyst;Ni/TiO2;oxidant PCC

A solid state eugenol/β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex (EG/β-CD) was prepared by lyophilization method and characterized by Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Fransform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). UV–Vis spectrometer was used to determine the EG content encapsulated in the complex. In order to estimate the release characteristics of the EG/β-CD powder, Avrami’s equation and Thermogravimetric (TG) analyzer were, respectively, used. The loss percentage of EG was no more than 10 wt% for 4 week exposing at 25 °C and 75% humidity, and the release of EG is controlled by a combination mechanism of diffusion and first-order mode. TG results not only proved the thermo stability of the EG in EG/β-CD complex, but also clarified the thermal decomposition behaviors of the EG/β-CD. The antibacterial activity of the EG/β-CD complex was investigated using agar cup-plate diffusion method and bacterial strains of Escherichia coli , Salmonella paratyphi B, and Staphyloccocus aureus were used. The results indicated that EG/β-CD had a selective antimicrobial active against Escherichia coli .

The low abundance of glycoproteins in complex samples results in the prerequisite role of efficient and selective enrichment of them. In the present work, we designed a new kind of glycosylation poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate-pentaerythritol triacrylate) monolith functionalized with glycocluster grafted β -cyclodextrin for the enrichment of glycoproteins. The introduced modifiers endowed the monolithic material with enhanced hydrophilicity and surface area, which benefitted to improve the enrichment selectivity and extraction efficiency for glycopeptides. By combining with MALDI-MS detections, 22 glycopeptides from horseradish peroxidase digest were captured with the developed monolith while 4 glycopeptides were enriched by commercially available agarose matrix column. LOD of 6.6 pmol was attained. When applied to the enrichment of glycopeptides from complex protein samples and human lymphoma (U937) cell line, the prepared monolith exhibited high selectivity for glycopeptides.

Phototriggers are useful molecular tools to initiate reactions in enzymes by light for the purpose of photoenzymatic design and mechanistic investigations. Here, we incorporated the non-natural amino acid 5-cyanotryptophan (W 5CN ) in a polypeptide scaffold and resolved the photochemical reaction of the W 5CN –W motif using femtosecond transient UV/Vis and mid-IR spectroscopy. We identified a marker band of ∼2037 cm −1 from the CN stretch of the electron transfer intermediate W 5CN ·− in the transient IR measurement and found UV/Vis spectroscopic evidence for the W ·+ radical at 580 nm. Through kinetic analysis, we characterized that the charge separation between the excited W 5CN and W occurs in 253 ps, with a charge-recombination lifetime of 862 ps. Our study highlights the potential use of the W 5CN –W pair as an ultrafast phototrigger to initiate reactions in enzymes that are not light-sensitive, making downstream reactions accessible to femtosecond spectroscopic detection.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are considered promising agents to solve the problem of antibiotic resistance due to their unique membrane-disruption mechanism. In this research, de novo terminally symmetric β-turn AMPs were designed by combining the β-turn sequences derived from Tritrpticin with alternately arranged cationic and hydrophobic amino acid sequences. The structure–activity relationship of the peptides was studied. Among the designed peptides, P-07 (KIKIKPWWWPKIKIK-NH2) exhibited potent antimicrobial activity against all the tested bacterial strains, showing the highest bacterial selectivity, relatively low cytotoxicity, high bactericidal efficiency, and low potential to induce bacterial resistance. The antimicrobial mechanisms of P-07 involving membrane-disruption and lipopolysaccharide-binding were proven. Moreover, the in vivo studies confirmed the wound-healing ability of P-07 using a mice bacteria-infected full-thickness wound model. Taken together, P-07 showed great promise in the treatment of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.

A novel glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 16 multi-domain β-1,3-1,4-glucanase (FsGlc16A) from Fibrobacter sp. UWP2 was identified, heterogeneously expressed, and its enzymatic properties, protein structure and application potential were characterized. Enzymological characterization showed that FsGlc16A performed the optimal catalytic activity at pH 4.5 and 50 °C with a specific activity of 3263 U/mg. FsGlc16A exhibited the substrate specificity towards oat β-glucan, barley β-glucan and lichenan, and in addition, it hydrolyzed oat β-glucan and lichenan into different β-glucooligosaccharides with polymerization degrees of 3–4, which further illustrated that it belonged to the endo-type β-1,3-1,4-glucanase. FsGlc16A was classified in subfamily25 of GH16. A ‘PXSSSS’ repeats domain was identified at the C-terminus of FsGlc16A, which was distinct from the typical GH family 16 β-1,3-1,4-glucanases. Removing the ‘PXSSSS’ repeats domain affected the binding of the substrate to FsGlc16A and reduced the enzyme activity. FsGlc16A displayed good potential for the applications, which hydrolyzed oat bran into β-glucooligosaccharides, and reduced filtration time (18.89 %) and viscosity (3.64 %) in the saccharification process. This study investigated the enzymatic properties and domain function of FsGlc16A, providing new ideas and insights into the study of β-1,3-1,4-glucanase.
