Plasma fractionation industry is by far the largest protein pharmaceutical provider, but there are still some plasma components in its industrial waste liquid that have not been utilized. This study aimed to develop a simple and efficient method for plasma protein recovery from Cohn fraction V supernatant (FVS), an effluent containing about 40% ethanol. A new affinity chromatography medium was synthesized with a fatty acid ligand. When the medium was applied to recovery of human serum albumin (HSA) from FVS at physiological pH7.4, the process was unsuccessful due to substantial decrease in capacity in the presence of high ethanol concentration. Nevertheless, change of pH from 7.4 to 4.2 emerged an improved adsorption capacity. The carboxyl group of the ligand began to act as cationic ion exchange role. Both HSA and α2HS-glycoprotein were adsorbed by the column, but α2HS-glycoprotein could be eluted by increasing pH from 4.2 to 7.4, while HSA was retained by the column and could only be eluted by addition of fatty acid. Therefore, the adsorption of albumin under pH 4.2 is charge-induced affinity adsorption, not simple ion exchange. The so-called dual-mode adsorption depends not only on the chromatographic medium but also on the separated object and environment. HPSEC showed that the purity of recovered HSA was greater than 98%. Circular dichroism and fluorescence spectra were consistent with that of the commercial product. Furthermore, the measurement by isothermal titration calorimetry showed that the separated HSA still maintained the binding activities with the ligands of warfarin and naproxen . It is therefore possible to directly recover high-purity and high-quality human serum albumin from the effluent of plasma fractionation industry by one-step chromatography.

Cyclodextrins (CD) are well known to form host-guest assemblies with hydrophobic compounds. As a structural homologue, starch-guest inclusion complexes (ICs) have become promising in the food, agriculture , and pharmaceutical industries due to their low cost and versatility. This study compared the stabilizing and releasing abilities for thymol of three kinds of pre-formed V-type starch (Water-V, Salt-V, and Alkali-V) and β-CD. The loading efficiency for thymol decreased in the order of Water-V > Alkali-V > CD > Salt-V when removing the free thymol. Water-V, β-CD, and their ICs had better thermal stability with maximum thermal decomposition temperatures over 320 °C. Under non-cold chain daily storage conditions for 4 d, the percentage of thymol released from starch/CD-thymol ICs was 14% (Water-V), 35% (Salt-V), 34% (Alkali-V), and 43% (CD). The Water-V made ICs had good sustained release properties and long-term antibacterial activity , which kept strawberries fresh for 6 d without decay.

The inherent low electronic conductivity of NASICON-type Na4MnV(PO4)3 (NMVP) impedes its use in advanced energy storage. Herein, we address this challenge by introducing a citric acid-derived carbon coating to elevate the material’s conductivity and electrochemical performance. By precisely tailoring the configuration of the carbon layer, we fabricated Na4MnV(PO4)3 encapsulated by a carbon coating (NMVP@C) and constructed a 3D hierarchical architecture with incorporated V(III) and Mn(II) states, which prompts the reversible redox reaction, augments Na+ storage capability, and mitigates volume expansion during cycling. The optimal cathode manifests superior rate capability and a long life span with 107.5 mA h g–1 at 1 C and 82.5% capacity retention over 5000 cycles at 20 C. The hard carbon//NMVP@C full cell confirms practical applicability with good electrochemical performance. This work underscores the pivotal interplay among the carbon layer, Na+ mobility, and structural integrity in NASICON cathodes, offering a pathway to develop high-performance and cost-effective cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries.

Regulating oxidation state of Cu-based chalcogenides catalysts during electrolysis is of great significance for efficient CO 2 electrochemical reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) to methanol, which still remains a dramatic challenge. Herein, we construct a heterogeneous Cu 3 VS 4 /CuS electrocatalyst (denoted as CuV x S), in which the in-situ growing Cu-S-V bonds avoid the accumulated electrons on oxidized Cu sites and inhibit the deep reduction of CuS to metallic Cu during electrolysis, maintaining stable and abundant reactive Cu + /Cu 2+ species to promote CO 2 RR performance to methanol. By this design, the CuV 0.1 S catalyst achieves an ultrahigh methanol selectivity of 79.8 %. In-situ FTIR measurement reveals that the synergistic effect of Cu + /Cu 2+ species and Cu-S-V bonding facilitates the *CO adsorption and the subsequent *CO hydrogenation process, which improve the generation of *CHO and *OCH 3 intermediates for enhanced methanol selectivity. This work provides a new insight into stabilizing high oxidation state of Cu-based electrocatalyst to maintain sufficient active sites for CO 2 RR.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), a common complication following kidney transplantation and partial nephrectomy, is the leading cause of renal dysfunction with limited treatment. Excessive cellular iron accumulation drives lipid peroxidation and activates pathways associated with ferroptosis, which has been implicated in renal IRI. However, the regulatory mechanisms of cellular iron metabolism and its relationship with ferroptosis during ischemia-reperfusion (IR) remain unclear. In this study, in vitro OGSD-R (oxygen, glucose, and serum deprivation-restoration) models and in vivo IR models were employed to investigate alterations in iron metabolism, ferroptosis, and the underlying molecular mechanisms using immunofluorescence, immunoblotting and biochemical testing. We identified glucose deprivation-restoration (GD-R) as a key trigger of cellular iron overload under renal IR condition. Mechanistically, GD-R-induced iron overload is driven by the dysfunction of vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase)-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. Inactivation of mTOR results in lysosomal iron releases via two-pore channel 2 (TPC2) and ferritin degradation through ferritinophagy. This process elevates intracellular iron levels, thereby promoting ferroptosis in renal IRI. Targeting cellular iron metabolism effectively alleviates renal IRI. These findings highlight the critical role of glucose metabolism and V-ATPase-mTOR pathway in the regulation of iron homeostasis and ferroptosis during renal IRI, and establish a mechanistic link among glucose metabolism, iron overload and ferroptosis, providing potential therapeutic targets for renal IRI.

In this work, five novel Cd/Zn-based MOFs with different topological framework, namely {[Cd(bimb)(Hbipa)]·H 2 O} n (1), {[Cd 3 (dimb) 3 (bipa) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]·2H 2 O} n (2) , [Cd(bimd)(Hbipa)(H 2 O)] n (3) , {[Zn(bipd)(Hbipa)]·H 2 O} n (4) and [Zn(bimb)(Hbipa)] n (5) had been synthesized and characterized. Worth noting, Complex 1 and 2 had effective separation behaviors towards MO and MBE dyes respectively, which could reach the adsorption equilibrium within a quite short time even if there existed another kind of dye in the system. Meanwhile, Complex 3 – 5 showed great performance in CR adsorption. Additionally, Complex 3 – 5 also showed excellent photocatalytic degradation capabilities toward MB and MV dyes under UV irradiation. According to the study, these five metal-organic frameworks can be used as a kind of functional materials in the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes in wastewater.

In this work, the surface properties, functional groups and stability of Fe–Mn bimetal composite (FMBC) was modified through sintering to improve the weaknesses of pristine FMBC, such as poor separation performance, high amount of dissolved Fe and Mn, and easy phase transformation. Characterization analysis indicated that 2-line ferrihydrite in sintered FMBC (SFMC) gradually transformed into hematite with the phase-transition temperature of 450 °C. With the increasing sintering temperature and time, the dehydroxylation reaction enhanced and gradually became irreversible, while the BET surface area and porosity of SFMC firstly increased and then decreased, resulting in the initial increase and then sharp decrease of the amount of exposed hydroxyl groups on SFMC. The sintering treatment greatly improved the separation performance and stability of SFMC. 350 °C and 2 h were determined as the optimal sintering conditions of SFMC in this study and the calculated maximum adsorption capacity of optimal SFMC reached up to 95 mg/g. Freundlich model and pseudo-second-order kinetics model can describe the Sb(V) adsorption data well. As compared to pristine FMBC, optimal SFMC presented larger BET surface area and porosity, better separation performance and stability, lower dissolved Fe and Mn amount, larger cyclic adsorption efficiency and enough ability for Sb(V) removal in real textile wastewater. Furthermore, the inner sphere complexation between Sb(OH) 6 - and exposed hydroxyl groups played a key role in adsorption. Additionally, the NaCl + NaOH elution exhibited greater Sb(V) desorption performance and effectively retarded the phase transformation of SFMC than NaOH solution.

Efficient purification of the wastewater containing organoarsenic by activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) usually faces with a great challenge because the degradation of organoarsenic is coupled with the release of its byproduct As(V). Heterogeneous catalysts with catalytic and adsorption functions show great potential in activating PMS for the degradation of organoarsenic and the removal of secondary inorganic arsenic. In this study, Co-CeMnO was designed and fabricated to realize simultaneous elimination of p -arsanilic ( p -ASA) and As(V) in Co-CeMnO (0.2 g/L)/PMS (0.25 mM) system, in which 50 µM p -ASA was almost completely degraded within 5 min and approximately 100% of the produced As(V) was removed within 30 min. The rate constant of the pseudo-first-order kinetics for the p -ASA degradation by PMS mediated with Co-CeMnO was high up to 0.65 min −1 , approximately 6.5 times higher than that in the system of CeMnO/PMS. It was revealed that SO 4 •− , • OH and 1 O 2 acted as the main oxidant species responsible for the oxidation of organics and As(III), and the surface −OH of Co-CeMnO led to the adsorption of As(V) via ion exchange. The excellent reusability and stability of Co-CeMnO was verified by five cycles with high removal efficiencies of p -ASA (>92% within 10 min) and arsenic (>98% within 90 min) and low leached metal ion concentrations (Co ions < 0.27 mg/L; Mn ions < 0.15 mg/L; Ce ions ≈ 0). Under the condition of initial pH 5, p -ASA was degraded completely and over 98% of total arsenic was adsorbed in different water matrices, indicating the practical application potential of Co-CeMnO/PMS system. Thus, the present study provided a reliable PMS activation strategy by constructing bifunctional catalysts to achieve satisfactory treatment of the wastewater containing p -ASA.

In this study, the selective adsorption performance of different Fe-Mn binary oxides (FMBOs) towards Sb(V) in the textile wastewater under different concentrations of coexisting anions, surfactants and dyes were investigated. Results showed that the influences of different anions on the Sb(V) removal followed an order of phosphate > carbonate > sulfate > nitrate > chloride. The frequently-used organic acid of acetate was found to have insignificant effect. The coexisting surfactant with sulfonic groups could have adverse effect on the removal due to sulfonic groups could compete the adsorptive sites on Fe oxides with Sb(V). While the quaternary ammonium surfactant might have minor effect. The influences of the three widely used dyes on the Sb(V) adsorption decreased in the following order: reactive black-5 >acid orange-7> disperse blue-60, which confirmed that the dyes with sulfonic groups would have relatively higher effect. The selective adsorption capacities of Sb(V) by FMBOs followed an order of FMBO 3 > FMBO 5 >FMBO 10 > FMBO 20 >PFO. Fixed-bed column adsorption supplied useful parameters and evidently indicated that the cyclic utilization of FMBO 3 was cost-efficient for practical dynamic Sb(V) removal. The Sb(V) removal by FMBO 3 from real textile wastewater can simultaneously improve the removal efficiency, stabilize pH and prevent the increase of iron concentration as compared to the traditional coagulation, further demonstrating the high practical applicability of FMBO 3 .

Exploring the integration regulation strategies to boost the electrocatalytic performance and elucidating the manipulation mechanism are critical for the hydrogen economy. Herein, heteroatom doping and heterojunction strategies were integrated to engineer a V-Ni3FeN/Ni@N-GTs bifunctional electrocatalyst, where the V-Ni3FeN/Ni heterojunction consisting of V doped Ni3FeN and Ni was anchored on N-doped graphene nanotubes (N-GTs). Benefiting from the modulation of the d-band center of hosts Ni and Fe by V doping and the regulation of local charge distribution induced by the V-Ni3FeN/Ni heterojunction, combined with the introduction of the conductive N-GTs skeleton, V-Ni3FeN/Ni@N-GTs delivers overpotentials of 66 and 252 mV at 10 mA cm−2 for the HER and OER, respectively. Besides, when it is used as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting, a low cell voltage of 1.55 V is needed to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm−2. This work provides new inspiration for developing other promising electrocatalysts based on the integration of various strategies.

Antimony enrichment in aquatic environments is of great concern to international community. High-temperature geothermal waters usually contain excessive Sb, which are apt to contaminate the groundwaters or surface waters used as drinking waters in and around a hydrothermal area. However, Sb removal from geothermal water is rarely documented and the effect of high temperature on Sb removal has not received much attention. In this study, batch sorption experiments were conducted to investigate Sb removal from water by a hydroxyl-intercalated, mechanochemically synthesized Mg-Fe-LDH (i.e. Mg-Fe-OH-LDH) capable of avoiding secondary pollutions commonly related to other Mg-Fe-LDH intercalated by undesirable anions, such as Cl − and NO 3 − . The sorption capacities of Mg-Fe-OH-LDH for Sb(III) and Sb(V) were up to 48.7 and 30.0 mg/g, respectively. Notably, Mg-Fe-OH-LDH performed even better in removing aqueous Sb(V) at higher temperatures, superior to sorption of Sb by iron oxides that is generally exothermic and tends to be inhibited by increasing reaction temperature. The removal of Sb(V) existing as Sb(OH) 6 − by Mg-Fe-OH-LDH was attributable to its exchange with interlayer hydroxyl, and therefore could be impaired to some degree by coexisting anions with stronger electronegativity or smaller ionic radii . In contrast, anion exchange didn't contribute so much to Sb(III) sorption, because the main Sb(III) species at pH < 10 is neutral Sb(OH) 3 . XPS analyses confirmed that inner-sphere complexation between sorbed Sb(III) and Fe on Mg-Fe-OH-LDH layers was formed, which was hardly affected by competitive anions. Mg-Fe-OH-LDH is promising to be practically applied in removing both Sb(III) and Sb(V) from contaminated natural waters, wastewaters, or geothermal waters potentially acting as a pollution source .

Wastewater generated during mining remains a significant source of antimony pollution, because techniques to quickly and efficiently remove antimony from wastewater do not exist. In this study, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), a specific type of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs), was successfully used to remove trace levels (1 mg L −1 ) of Sb(V) with a high removal efficiency when the ZIF-8 dose was 0.5 g L −1 . Scanning electron microscopy-X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS) indicated that Sb(V) was adsorbed onto the ZIF-8surface. The powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of ZIF-8 before and after adsorption of Sb(V) indicated that ZIF-8 was successfully synthesized, and remained structurally stable after Sb(V) was adsorbed. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) both suggested complexation of zinc on ZIF-8 with Sb(V), where removal of Sb(V) by ZIF-8 followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm with pseudo second-order kinetics. Thus, a possible removal mechanism was proposed which involved Sb(V) complexing with the zinc hydroxyl groups on ZIF-8 (Zn–OH–Sb). Practically, ZIF-8, could remove 78.6% of Sb(V) from a mining wastewater containing 20 μg L −1 Sb(V). Furthermore, ZIF-8 could be remain active after repeated uses and could still remove and 42.3% of Sb(V) from wastewater containing 1 mg L −1 ) Sb(V) even when the ZIF-8 was reused five time. This indicated that ZIF-8 had potential for practical removal of Sb(V) from mining wastewaters.
