Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) has been a promising treatment technology of heavy metal-enriched hyperaccumulator biomass to produce superior hydrochar adsorbent for contamination removal from the wastewater. However, a high amount of heavy metal in derived hydrochar limits its further application. In this study, the effect of reaction temperature (180–270 ℃) and medium pH during HTC on heavy metal contents, speciation and leaching risk of hydrochar from the hyperaccumulator biomass Sedum alfredii Hance was investigated to assess its environmental risk. HTC at a low reaction temperature and acid addition facilitated the removal of Zn/Cd/Pb from the solid phase, meanwhile the addition of acid favored the immobilization of Zn/Cd/Pb and lowered the potential leaching risk of Zn/Cd/Pb. Hydrochar prepared from HTC at 240 °C and pH = 2 had lower heavy metal content and lower releasing risk, followed by KOH modification to obtain high adsorption performance. The modified hydrohcar (KSAB) were characterized by SEM, XRD, BET, Boehm titration and FT-IR, and showed that the surface specific surface area and pore structure were optimized and OFGs of hydrochar were improved significantly after KOH treatment. Adsorption experiments showed that the Cd(II) adsorption process onto KSAB well accorded with pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherms. The maximum Cd(II) adsorption capacity of KSAB was 25.69 mg/g, which was 17 times compared to that of pristine hydrochar. Microstructure characteristics and mechanism analysis further suggested that electrostatic interactions, surface complexation, cation-π and ion exchange were the main Cd(II) removal mechanisms of KOH-modified hydrochar. Therefore, hydrochar derived from hyperaccumulator biomass can be used as a highly efficient absorbent to remove Cd(II) from wastewater after KOH modification.

The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate hollow sodium chloride microspheres with enhanced salinity perception as a strategy to reduce overall salt intake in foods. This experimental systematically evaluated the water content, hygroscopicity, particle size distribution, conductivity, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and electron tongue of hollow salt microspheres prepared from hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), soluble soybean polysaccharide (SSPS), maltodextrin (MD), gum arabic (GA), and β-glucan (β-glucan). The results showed that there were significant differences in the characteristics of hollow sodium chloride microspheres prepared by different carriers. The salt microspheres prepared with HP-β-CD as the carrier exhibited low water content (1.89 %), anti-hygroscopicity (1.67 g/100 g), and fast solubility. The conductivity test results showed that the release rate of sodium ions in the salt microspheres prepared with HP-β-CD was nearly six times higher than that of ordinary sodium chloride, which could rapidly evoke the perception of saltiness. EDS analysis further confirmed that the salt microspheres prepared with HP-β-CD carrier had a higher sodium chloride content on the surface (26.25 %), thus contributing to enhancing salty taste perception. In addition, the salt microspheres prepared with soybean-soluble polysaccharide as the carrier showed a perfectly spherical hollow structure, and the caking property was lower than that of the other salt microspheres. The results of the electronic tongue analysis showed that the salt microsphere solution prepared using soybean-soluble polysaccharide had a stronger salty taste perception ability. In summary, the hollow salt microspheres prepared using HP-β-CD and SSPS showed outstanding advantages in salt taste perception properties. In the later stage, the compound ratio between the carriers will be studied, which provides a new technical reference for the salt reduction strategy of the food industry.

Background Chemiluminescence (CL) bioassay is one of the most advanced and used detection method in clinical diagnosis and biomedical research because of the advantages of low background, easy operation, and wide-field imaging without a light source or microscope. The luminol/hydrogen peroxide/horseradish peroxidase (luminol/H 2 O 2 /HRP) system is the most popular CL system, but its application in high-throughput imaging detection is challenged due to its low luminescence efficiency and flash-type emission which is difficult in ensuring the reproducibility and consistency of detection results. Results We reported a glow-type CL system of luminol@CD/H 2 O 2 /HRP by using a supramolecular enhancer of cyclodextrin (CD). This luminol@CD/H 2 O 2 /HRP system exhibited a luminescence lifetime of 41 min for sensitive and accurate imaging analysis. The long-lasting CL emission was attributed to the formation of a 1:1 host–guest complex between luminol and CD, which could stabilize the emitter and effectively reduce nonradiative relaxation. The formation of luminol@CD complex was determined through NMR experiments and theoretical analysis. Under optimum conditions, the luminol@CD/H 2 O 2 /HRP system showed higher sensitivity and much better precision than classical luminol/H 2 O 2 /HRP system for imaging detection of HRP. Especially, this glow-type luminol@CD/H 2 O 2 /HRP system realized CL imaging of microwell arrays on microfluidic chips. In addition, the luminol@CD/H 2 O 2 /HRP system was successfully applied for point-of-care detection of 17 β- estradiol based on a competitive mechanism of host–guest recognition. Significance An efficient CL system is crucial for obtaining reproducible and consistent results for accurate detection. Our luminol@CD/H 2 O 2 /HRP system emitted strong and persistent luminescence, resulting in reliability and efficiency at both CL macroscopic and microscopic imaging detection. We expected the luminol@CD/H 2 O 2 /HRP CL system to be applied in various detection fields.

A novel nanoadsorbent for the removal of heavy metal ions is reported. Cotton was first hydrolyzed to obtain cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). CNCs were then chemically modified with succinic anhydride to obtain SCNCs. The sodic nanoadsorbent (NaSCNCs) was further prepared by treatment of SCNCs with saturated NaHCO 3 aqueous solution. Batch experiments were carried out with SCNCs and NaSCNCs for the removal of Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ . The effects of contact time, pH, initial adsorption concentration, coexisting ions and the regeneration performance were investigated. Kinetic studies showed that the adsorption equilibrium time of Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ was reached within 150 min on SCNCs and 5 min on NaSCNCs. The adsorption capacities of Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ on SCNCs and NaSCNCs increased with increasing pH. The adsorption isotherm was well fitted by the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacities of SCNCs and NaSCNCs for Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ were 367.6 mg/g, 259.7 mg/g and 465.1 mg/g, 344.8 mg/g, respectively. SCNCs and NaSCNCs showed high selectivity and interference resistance from coexisting ions for the adsorption of Pb 2+ . NaSCNCs could be efficiently regenerated with a mild saturated NaCl solution with no loss of capacity after two recycles. The adsorption mechanisms of SCNCs and NaSCNCs were discussed.

A novel PNIPAAm-CD hydrogel with good adsorption property and stable fluorescence detection for Fe 3+ was prepared by copolymerizing PCDs with NIPAAm monomers. As a fluorescence probe, carbon quantum dots (CDs) were modified by glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) to obtain PCDs, which had double bond and could react with N-isopropyl acrylamide to form hydrogel. The functionalization of the amine groups on the surface of the PCDs enables PNIPAAm-CD hydrogel also exhibits photoluminescence behavior. In addition, the PNIPAAm-CD hydrogels stably shows higher adsorption performance for Fe 3+ than the pure PNIPAAm hydrogel. The honeycomb PNIPAAm-CD hydrogel had a good quenching response to metallic iron ions, and the detection limit was as low as 0.27 μM in the range of 1μM～1mM. The results of adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetics showed that the adsorption procedure of metal ions conforms to the pseudo-second-order model and langmuir model, respectively. The effective detection and the high adsorption of PNIPAAm-CD hydrogel for Fe 3+ make it an effective portable platform potential, which has the dual functions of visual detection and adsorption of Fe 3+ .

Biochar is a popular amendment in Cd polluted soil. However, the performance of bulk biochar is still less than satisfactory, so effective modification is very important to improve its capacity to adsorb Cd. In the present study, biochar derived from reed straw was modified by ball milling with the addition of either potassium hydroxide (KOH) alone (QK) or combined with attapulgite (QKA). Both batch experiments and pot cultivation were conducted to elucidate the adsorption mechanisms of Cd by modified biochar and their effects on Cd passivation and plant uptake in Cd polluted soil. The results showed that QK and QKA could provide higher pH values, and more oxygen-containing functional groups and minerals compared with bulk biochar (YC), promoting the complexation, ion exchange and precipitation of biochar to cadmium (Cd). The modified biochar was more inclined to multi-layer, non-ideal surface and chemical adsorption, which was an endothermic process. Compared to non-biochar addition (CK), the application of QK or QKA significantly promoted the values of pH, EC, CEC, available potassium and organic matter in soil. The addition of QK, QKA and YC decreased the availability of Cd by 22.61%, 22.32% and 14.16%, accompanied by the increase of residual Cd by 47.96%, 47.60% and 37.27%, respectively, indicating the more effective passivation of the modified biochar (QK and QKA). Compared to CK, biochar applications could significantly improve Chinese cabbage growth, and decrease Cd content in the aerial/edible part of plants by 42.97, 18.16 and 7.29%, respectively, for QK, QKA and YC. With the application of QK, Cd concentrations in the aerial/edible part of Chinese cabbage were reduced to 0.15 mg kg−1(lower than 0.2 mg/kg, the leafy vegetables national safety standard). Generally, the performance of QK on the remediation effects and vegetable production was better than that of QKA, indicating the potential of QK for the remediation of Cd-contaminated soil and the safe production of vegetables.

Four plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) were used as study materials, among them two heavy metal-tolerant rhizosphere strains SrN1 (Arthrobacter sp.) and SrN9 (Bacillus altitudinis) were isolated from rhizosphere soil, while two endophytic strains SaN1 (Bacillus megaterium) and SaMR12 (Sphingomonas) were identified from roots of the cadmium (Cd)/zinc (Zn) hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii Hance. A pot experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of these PGPB on plant growth and Cd accumulation of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) plants grown on aged Cd-spiked soil. The results showed that the four PGPB significantly boosted oilseed rape shoot biomass production, improved soil and plant analyzer development (SPAD) value, enhanced Cd uptake of plant and Cd translocation to the leaves. By fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and green fluorescent protein (GFP), we demonstrated the studied S. alfredii endophytic bacterium SaMR12 were able to colonize successfully in the B. napus roots. However, all four PGPB could increase seed Cd accumulation. Due to its potential to enhance Cd uptake by the plant and to restrict Cd accumulation in the seeds, SaMR12 was selected as the most promising microbial partner of B. napus when setting up a plant–microbe fortified remediation system.

This study quantified the complex stability constants of sulfamethazine (SMT) with cadmium (Cd 2+ ) and lead (Pb 2+ ) under different pH conditions. The UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used for acquiring the complexation data. Results showed that the complex stability constants of SMT with cadmium (Cd 2+ ) and lead (Pb 2+ ) increased as a function of the solution pH. In the investigated pH range, Cd 2+ showed stronger complex affinity with SMT than Pb 2+ . It appeared that cation - π interactions might dominate the complex between SMT with Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ at acid environment, and the covalent bonding might play a major role at neutral environment. Batch adsorption equilibrium experiment showed that the sorption capacity of Cd 2+ on goethite increased from 3.83 to 7.64 mg/g along with the addition of 1 mg/L SMT, indicating SMT can impede the transportation of Cd. In general, this study worked out the complexation constants and clarified the complexation mechanism between SMT with lead and cadmium, while sorption experiment indicated that sorption of Cd onto goethite was enhanced with SMT.

Adsorbent is an important waste water-based drilling fluid treatment agent, which can adsorb and settle heavy metal ions, high polymer organics, and other soluble harmful substances in the waste drilling fluid. Traditional adsorbents such as polyaluminum chloride and polyacrylamide will produce other metal ions or toxic monomers after hydrolysis, which cannot fully meet the requirements of safety and environmental protection. Therefore, a new environmentally friendly waste water-based drilling fluid adsorbent, named RH-β-CD, was prepared by the Wilson etherification reaction, which was initiated by epichlorohydrin and ceric ammonium nitrate, and successfully grafted rhamnolipid and amine strong adsorption groups onto β-cyclodextrin. The adsorption effect and environmental protection performance of RH-β-CD on the organic matter and chromium ion in waste sulfonated water-based drilling fluid were evaluated and compared with commonly used adsorbents such as activated carbon, PAM, and polyaluminum chloride. The results show that RH-β-CD can effectively adsorb the organic matter in the filtrate of waste water-based drilling fluids, reduce its chemical oxygen consumption, and reduce the concentration of heavy metal ions in the filtrate. The effect is better than PAM, activated carbon, and polyaluminum chloride, with the BOD 5 /COD cr >20% and EC 50 >1,000,000 mg·L −1 , which is environmentally friendly.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been recognized as a potential platform for the development of tunable luminophores owing to their highly modulable structures and components. Herein, two MOF luminophores based on Cd(II) ions, 1,3,5-tri(4-pyridinyl)benzene (TPB), and 1,4-dicarboxybenzene (H2BDC) were constructed. The directed assembly of the metal ions and organic linkers results in [Cd2(BDC)2(TPB)(H2O)]·x(solvent) (MOF-1) featuring TPB-based blue fluorescence centered at 425 nm. By introducing anthracene as the structure directing agent (SDA) for assembly regulation, [Cd2(BDC)(TPB)2(NO3)2]·x(solvent) (MOF-2) was obtained, which reveals anthracene feeding-dependent high tunable emission in the 517–650 nm range. Detailed components, photophysical properties, and structural characteristics investigations of MOF-2 indicate the TPB and NO3– interactions as the origin of its redshifted emission compared with that of MOF-1. Furthermore, the fluorescence of MOF-2 was found to be regulatable by the anthracene feeding based on the SDA-determined crystallinity of the crystalline sample. All these results provided a unique example of the structural and fluorescence regulation of MOF luminophores.

Identifying key genes involved in Cadmium (Cd) response pathways in plants and developing low-Cd-accumulating cultivars may be the most effective and eco-friendly strategy to tackle the problem of Cd pollution in crops. In our previous study,Stressseventy subfamily A 4(SSA4) was identified to be associated with Cd tolerance in yeast. Here, we investigated the mechanism ofSSA4in regulating Cd tolerance in yeast. ScSSA4 binds to POre Membrane 34 (POM34), a key component of nuclear pore complex (NPC), and translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, where it regulates the expression of its downstream gene,Viable in a Hal3 Sit4 background 1(VHS1), resulting in reduced Cd accumulation in yeast cells. Additionally, we identified a Chinese cabbageSSA4gene,BrSSA4c, which could enhance the Cd tolerance in Chinese cabbage. This study offers new insights into the regulatory mechanisms of Cd tolerance in yeast, a model organism, and paves the way for the genetic enhancement of Cd tolerance in Chinese cabbage.

Cadmium (Cd) contamination is highly toxic to human health, and the complexed Cd in wastewater is tricky to remove owing to its stable chelating structure. In this study, industrial zero-valent iron (ZVI) was modified by ball-milling with tiny formic acid (FA), and the as-prepared sample (FA-ZVI bm ) was attempted in the treatment of Cd II -ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Cd II -EDTA). Little FA addition to ball-milling could dramatically improve the performance of FA-ZVI bm towards Cd II -EDTA elimination and raise the elimination rate constant by more than 200 times. Results ascertained that the (HCOO) 2 Fe II shell formed on FA-ZVI bm promoted Cd II -EDTA decomplexation and activation of dissolved O 2 to reactive oxygen species (ROS) for oxidative degradation of EDTA ligands. Cd II -EDTA was instantly decomplexation by Fe 3+ replacement, and the decomplexed Cd 2+ was rapidly captured by FA-ZVI bm . At the same time, the EDTA ligands underwent oxidative degradation, avoiding the re-chelation ecological hazard. Interestingly, we found that replacement decomplexation has a synergistic mechanism for activating dissolved O 2 to ROS , facilitating oxidative destruction of EDTA ligands. Furthermore, the FA-ZVI bm fixed-bed reactor could remediate Cd II -EDTA contaminated environmental water one-stop, and the effluent stably meets the emission standards. This study demonstrated that FA-ZVI bm could be a viable approach for Cd II -EDTA decontamination and clarified the remediation mechanism.
