In this study, fibrous core–shell silica particles were successfully synthesized via a one-step oil–water biphase stratification coating strategy. The core–shell silica particles were composed of 3-µm non-pore silica cores and thin shells (50–100 nm), which have radial-like direct channels and a large pore size (19.89 nm). The fibrous core–shell silica particles were further modified by n-octadecyltrichlorosilane and used as stationary-phase media in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The chromatographic properties of the particles were systematically studied in small-molecule and protein separation processes. The results showed that the back pressure was as low as 8.5 MPa under the 1.0-mL min −1 flow velocity. Furthermore, fibrous core–shell silica particles with an 80-nm shell were used for separating seven small molecules within 10 min and six proteins within 6 min. This work demonstrates that the fibrous core–shell silica particles could be used as an HPLC stationary phase with good performance and low back pressure, and that they have great potential for application to HPLC separation in the future.

Core–shell particles (CSPs), also known as superficially porous particles or fused-core particles, consisting of a solid core and a porous shell, have emerged as an advanced technology in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). We report here an ultrasonic-assisted sol–gel method for the fabrication of CSPs with uniform mesoporous silica shell using tetraethoxysilane as the silica source and dodecylamine as a catalyst, template and porogen agent in a methanol–water solution. Instead of stirring, sonication was adopted to guarantee the particles monodispersity and uniformity. The shell thickness between 300 and 700 nm could be obtained by adjusting the sonication time and the volume ratio of methanol–water. Pore sizes from 3.4 to 8.5 nm were tuned by hydrothermal treatment. The C18-bonded 2.7 μm CSPs with a shell thickness of ~ 500 nm showed some advantages over a commercial 1.7 μm BEH column, and successfully applied for the analyses of a Chinese medicine and peptides. The CSPs could be a promising candidate as HPLC packing materials.

It is an important challenge to effectively remove environmental pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dyes, and heavy metal ions at a low cost. Herein, we present a multifunctional homopolymer vesicle self-assembled from a scalable homopolymer, poly(amic acid) (PAA), at room temperature. The vesicle can efficiently eliminate PAHs, cationic dyes, and heavy metal ions from water based on π–π stacking, hydrophobic effect, and electrostatic interactions with the pollutants. The residual concentrations of PAHs, cationic dyes, and heavy metal ions (such as Ni2+) in water are lower than 0.60 and 0.30 parts per billion (ppb) and 0.095 parts per million (ppm), respectively, representing a promising adsorbent for water remediation. Furthermore, precious metal ions such as Ag+ can be recovered into silver nanoparticles by in situ reduction on the membrane of PAA vesicles to form a silver nanoparticle/vesicle composite (Ag@vesicle) that can effectively catalyze the reduction of toxic pollutants such as aromatic nitro-compounds and be recycled for more than ten times.

Indole plays a significant role in the production of products such as spices, medicines, and exogenous auxins. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) formed by indole and quaternary ammonium salts (QASs, including tetraethylammonium chloride-TEAC, tetrapropylammonium chloride-TPAC, triethylmethyl-ammonium chloride-TEMAC) were found and proposed to efficiently extract indole from model wash oil. The effects of time, temperature, mole ratio of QAS to indole and initial indole concentration on the extraction of indole were studied. The results indicate that these QASs can extract indole from wash oil with efficiencies up to 96.7% (TPAC). The extraction process can be finished within 5 min. It is also found that the ultimate concentrations are almost identical for one kind of QAS although their initial concentrations are different, and the indole concentration in model wash oil can be reduced to a very low level of 1.3 g/dm 3 (TPAC). The maximum distribution coefficients of indole are 40.8 for TEAC, 91.9 for TPAC, and 29.5 for TEMAC at the studied conditions, and the extraction ability follows the order of TPAC > TEAC > TEMAC. Moreover, QASs in DESs can be reused without obvious reduction in extraction efficiency. The extraction mechanism was studied by FT-IR, and the results indicate that there is a hydrogen bond between QAS and indole. Finally, a comparison was made between this method and other methods to verify and demonstrate its desirable properties of efficiency and environmentally friendliness.

Soil contamination by PAH and heavy metals is a growing problem. Here, we showed that a new isolate, Pseudomonas brassicacearum strain LZ-4, can simultaneously degrade 98% of 6 mM naphthalene and reduce 92.4% of 500 μM hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] within 68 h. A draft genome sequence of strain LZ-4 (6,219,082 bp) revealed all the genes in the naphthalene catabolic pathway and some known Cr (VI) reductases. Interestingly, genes encoding naphthalene pathway components were upregulated in the presence of Cr (VI), and Cr (VI) reduction was elevated in the presence of naphthalene. We cloned and expressed these naphthalene catabolic genes and tested for Cr (VI) reduction, and found that NahG reduced 79% of 100 μM Cr (VI) in 5 minutes. Additionally, an nahG deletion mutant lost 52% of its Cr (VI) reduction ability compared to that of the wild-type strain. As nahG encodes a salicylate hydroxylase with flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as a cofactor for electron transfer, Cr (VI) could obtain electrons from NADH through NahG-associated FAD. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a protein involved in a PAH-degradation pathway that can reduce heavy metals, which provides new insights into heavy metal-PAH contamination remediation.

The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) are classified as human carcinogens, and can also cause serious health problems. To develop a convenient bio-monitoring tool for the detection of PAHs and TCDD in the environment, we generated a transgenic zebrafish line Tg(cyp1a:mCherry) with cyp1a promoter driving mCherry expression. Here, Tg(cyp1a:mCherry) embryos were treated with different concentrations of TCDD and five US EPA priority PAHs congeners. The results showed that the expressions of mCherry and endogenous cyp1a were consistent with the PAHs exposure concentrations and were largely induced by TCDD and ≥4-ring PAHs. Moreover, the sensitivity of Tg(cyp1a:mCherry) embryos was also evaluated through monitoring of the PAHs contamination in the water and soil samples. The elevated red fluorescent signals and cyp1a expression levels were observed in Tg(cyp1a:mCherry) zebrafish after exposure to water samples and soil organic extracts with higher concentrations of ≥4-ring PAHs. These results further strengthen our findings of concentration- and congener-dependent response of the newly established zebrafish. Taken together, the newly established zebrafish line will prove as a sensitive, efficient and convenient tool for monitoring PAHs and TCDD contamination in the environment.

In this study, a novel hollow mesoporous carbon spheres-based fiber (HMCSs-F) was fabricated to immobilize HMCSs onto a stainless steel wire for solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Characterization results showed that the HMCSs-F possessed a large specific surface area, high porosity and uniform pore size. To demonstrate the extraction performance, a series of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was chosen as target analytes. The experimental parameters including extraction and desorption conditions were optimized. Compared to commercial fibers, the HMCSs-F exhibited better extraction efficiency for PAHs. More interestingly, a good extraction selectivity for PAHs from the complex matrix was observed in these HMCSs-F. The enhanced SPME performance was attributed to the unique pore structure and special surface properties of the HMCSs. Furthermore, under the optimum conditions, the limits of detection (LODs) for the HMCSs-F were in the range of 0.20–1.15 ng L −1 with a corresponding relative standard deviation that was below 8.6%. The method was successfully applied for the analysis of PAHs in actual environmental water samples with recoveries ranging from 85.9% to 112.2%. These results imply that the novel HMCSs-F have potential application in environmental water analysis.

A new dynamic covalent polymer (DCP) gel was well designed and constructed based on imine chemistry. Polycondensation of 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxaldehyde and 1,3,5-benzenetricarbohydrazide via Schiff-base reaction resulted in an acylhydrazone bond gel (AB-gel) DCP. AB-gel DCP had three-dimensional network of interconnected nanoparticles with hierarchically porous structure. AB-gel DCP was successfully fabricated as a monolithic column by an in-situ chemical bonding method for online enrichment and separation purpose with excellent permeability. AB-gel DCP based monolithic column showed remarkable adsorption affinity towards target analytes including sulfonamides (SAs) and fluorescent whitening agents (FWAs) due to its strong π-π affinity, hydrophobic effect and hydrogen bonding interaction. Then, AB-gel DCP based monolithic column was applied for online separation and analysis of trace SAs and FWAs in food samples coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Sulfathiazole (ST) and sulfadimidine (SM2) in one positive weever sample were actually found and determined with concentrations of 273.8 and 286.3 μg/kg, respectively. 2,5-Bis(5- tert -butyl-2-benzoxazolyl) thiophene (FWA184) was actually quantified in one tea infusion sample with the concentration of 268.5 ng/L. The spiked experiments suggested the good recoveries in range of 74.5–110% for SAs in weever and shrimp samples with relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 9.7% and in range of 74.0-113% for FWAs in milk and tea infusion samples with RSDs less than 9.0%. AB-gel DCP monolithic column was proved to be a promising sample preparation medium for online separation and analysis of trace analytes in food samples with complex matrices.

To deepen the understanding of peach aroma, we investigated the changes of volatile organic compound (VOC) profiles during fruit development in three fresh peach cultivars: ‘Jiucui (JC)’, ‘Zhongyoupan No. 9 (ZYP9)’ and ‘Zhongyou No. 8 (ZY8)’. The classes and contents of VOCs changed significantly during fruit ripening. The representative VOC changes were categorized into three developmental stages, with the lowest volatile content observed during the middle stage. At maturity, ester-related volatiles increased significantly, dominating the VOC profiles and accounting for 78 %, 82 % and 88 % in JC, ZYP9 and ZY8, respectively, while alcohols decreased dramatically. Multivariate analysis identified 23, 21 and 20 potential volatile markers in JC, ZYP9 and ZY8, respectively, with 9 shared markers distinguishing the different developmental stages. Odor activity values (OAVs) and olfactometry analysis highlighted 36, 29, and 26 aroma-active compounds (OAV > 1) across the cultivars, with key contributors to the mature peach aroma including hexyl acetate (OAV 860–2896), ( E )-2-hexenyl acetate, ( Z )-3-hexenyl acetate, ( E )-3-hexenyl acetate, linalool, and γ -decalactone. The fruity aroma intensified as ripening progressed, with ZY8, a cultivar with a longer maturation cycle, exhibiting the highest odor intensity. This study offers insights into the dynamic changes in VOC profiles during peach development, highlighting key aroma-active compounds and their stage-specific variations.

This study investigates the synergistic effect during the co-hydrogenation process of coal tar and biomass oil through experiments. By conducting hydrogenation experiments on model compounds of coal tar (naphthalene, tetrahydronaphthalene, decalin, and 9,10-phenanthrene) and waste soybean oil, it was found that partially saturated and fully saturated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons release active hydrogen atoms due to dehydrogenation at high temperatures. These active hydrogen atoms can promote the hydrogenation conversion of fatty acids derived from triglycerides in waste soybean oil during the co-hydrogenation process with coal tar. Through co-hydrogenation experiments of coal tar and waste soybean oil, it was discovered that when coal tar was first hydrogenated under conditions of temperature of 360 °C, pressure of 8 MPa, and LHSV (liquid hourly space velocity) of 0.4 h −1 , and then mixed with waste soybean oil (at a concentration of 30 g/100 mL) for hydrogenation under the conditions of temperature of 360 °C, pressure of 8 MPa, and LHSV of 0.4 h −1 , the deoxygenation conversion rate of fatty acids in the soybean oil is 94.5%. The hydrogenation deoxygenation conversion rate of the product in this process was 87.5% higher than that of individual fatty acids. This study indicates that the co-hydrogenation of hydrogenated coal tar and bio-oil promotes the deoxygenation conversion of bio-oil.

The structural analysis of lignin is highly significant in practical terms. We investigated the presence of fused aromatic multirings (FARs) distinct from conventional phenylpropane units in seven lignin types using synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS) and quantified their relative proportions. Our findings reveal that FARs are present in all lignin samples, primarily composed of 2–6 rings. The relative distribution of FARs in lignin is ranked as follows: 2 rings > 1 ring > 4 rings > 3 rings > 6 rings > 5 rings. The relative contents of these FARs (1–6 rings) exhibit slight variations across all lignin samples. Notably, FARs with 2 rings are the highest at 35 %−53 %, while those with 5 and 6 rings are the lowest, collectively accounting for less than 1.37 %. Moreover, the relative contents of FARs with 1 and 2–6 rings range approximately 24 %−32 % and 68 %−76 %, respectively. Furthermore, the catalytic hydro-depolymerization of lignin was performed and the experimental results demonstrate that the hydro-liquefied oil from lignin contains aromatic compounds with 1–7 rings, and the relative contents of aromatic compounds with 1 ring and 2–7 rings in the oil are 29 % and 71 %, respectively, which is consistent with that of lignin SFS. These findings are also consistent with the existing literature and experimental results. This study offers an explanation for the low yields observed in current depolymerization processes targeting small molecules within lignin and establishes a theoretical foundation for achieving high yields in the preparation of multiring aromatic hydrocarbons.

Liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) technology has unique advantages in hydrogen storage and transportation. However, the lack of research on the continuous dehydrogenation process of LOHCs has hindered the design and application of industrial dehydrogenation processes. In this work, a highly active dehydrogenation catalyst 1.5 wt% Pd/activated carbon (Pd/C) and a commercial catalyst 5 wt% Pd/Al 2 O 3 were used for the continuous dehydrogenation of dodecahydro-N-ethylcarbazole (12H-NEC). Based on a tubular reactor and lab-scale apparatus, 1.5 wt% Pd/C catalyst achieved a maximum dehydrogenation conversion of 98.3% and a maximum NEC selectivity of 95.3%, while dehydrogenation conversion and NEC selectivity with 5 wt% Pd/Al 2 O 3 were 98.3% and 97.6%, respectively. It showed the equally excellent performance between Pd/C and Pd/Al 2 O 3 , and the former has less Pd loading than the latter, with the potential of reducing the production cost of the dehydrogenation catalyst. The dehydrogenation results also indicated the difference in catalytic performance between the two kinds of catalysts. The obtained kinetics data were analyzed, and the dynamics of continuous dehydrogenation were studied to provide fundamental information for dehydrogenation scale-up.
