Conventional advanced oxidation processes were used to treat heavy metal complexes. However, a considerable amount of oxidants was required to enable effective oxidative degradation, which led to a significant increase of the treatment costs and subsequent difficulties in the sludge disposal. Based on the abundance of anions in heavy metal wastewater, the effects of anions on the in-situ degradation of Ni-EDTA in an oxidant-free electrochemical system with boron-doped diamond (BDD) as the anode were investigated. The presence of Cl - was found to exert a significant effect on improving the degradation process. Moreover, pH had little effect on the removal of nickel (Ni) and Ni-EDTA within a specific pH range (1 < pH < 9). The removal efficiencies of Ni and TOC reached 100 % and 77.45 %, respectively, at pH 2.16 with 0.4 M NaCl electrolyte, 2 mM Ni-EDTA concentration, and a current density of 50 mA/cm 2 . •OH and Cl• played crucial roles in the removal of Ni-EDTA by disrupting the chelation sites of Ni and EDTA molecules. The released Ni 2+ ions could active the H 2 O 2 in-situ generated at the cathode to produce •OH. The formation of the precipitation products such as NiOOH, Ni(OH) 2 , and NiCO 3 in the Cl - /BDD system were conform based on the XRD and XPS analyses, which suggested the possible pathways for the removal of Ni 2+ and Ni 3+ . Finally, the possible degradation pathways of Ni-EDTA were proposed based on the identification of intermediate products using UPLC-MS.

Emulsification/internal gelation is an effective encapsulation method to protect probiotics from adverse environment. In this paper, microcapsules of Lactobacillus acidophilus CGMCC1.2686 were prepared by emulsification and gelation of alginate solutions with slow release of Ca 2+ ions from calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) and calcium disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (Ca-EDTA). Physical characterization of the two types of microcapsules showed that alginate-Ca-EDTA microcapsule was more uniform in size than alginate-CaCO 3 , with a span factor of 0.96 and 1.20, respectively. Mechanical measurements demonstrated that alginate-CaCO 3 microcapsule was more robust and elastic, which was supported by its denser structure as observed by electron scanning microscopy. Bacteria encapsulation yields in the two microcapsules were similar, 37.9% for alginate-CaCO 3 and 36.9% for alginate-Ca-EDTA. However, alginate-CaCO 3 microcapsule exhibited much higher cell survivals in both simulated gastric juice and bile salts solution (22.2% and 2.6*10 −2 %, respectively) than alginate-Ca-EDTA (7.1% and 0%, respectively), indicating a more effective protection of L. acidophilus CGMCC1.2686. The protection efficiency was discussed in relation to the mechanical properties of the microcapsules and the calcium sources used.

We report here the preparation process of a recyclable magnetic biochar functionalized with chitosan and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (E-CMBC). This prepared biochar was then evaluated regarding its adsorption performance for Pb(II) from an aqueous solution along with the potential adsorption mechanisms behind this process. XRD and SEM analyses showed that the magnetite particles were successfully embedded into biochar and the subsequent surface coating of chitosan and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid modification were also successful. The effects of the adsorbent dosage, ionic strength, initial solution pH, and contact time, on adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms, adsorption thermodynamics and regeneration performance were investigated. The removal of Pb(II) was dramatically improved to 156.68 mg g−1 compared with that by unmodified pristine biochar (10.90 mg g−1) at pH 3.0. In the range of pH 2.0–5.0, the adsorption performance of Pb(II) by E-CMBC remained above 152.50 mg g−1, which suggested that the adsorption capacity of the novel sorbent was not impacted by the competing adsorption of hydrogen cations under acidic conditions. The adsorption process could be well described by the Avrami fractional-order and Langmuir models. Thermodynamic analysis proved that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. The magnetic strength of E-CMBC was measured as 3.1 emu g−1, suggesting that the consumed E-CMBC could be separated from water by an external magnet. A regeneration study showed that after three cycles of adsorption–desorption, 78.60% of the sorbent was recovered and 97.26% of the adsorption capacity was retained. The adsorption mechanism investigation indicated that Pb(II) adsorption was mainly due to the presence of functional amides and carboxyl groups of E-CMBC forming strong chemical complexation. In conclusion, E-CMBC is a novel, recyclable, and highly efficient adsorbent for removal of Pb(II) from aqueous solution.

Batch tests were carried out to study the effect of simultaneous addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and Ni2+(EDTA-Ni) on anaerobic digestion (AD) performances of kitchen wastes (KWs). The results indicated that the cumulative biogas yield and methane content were enhanced to 563.82 mL/gVS and 63.7% by adding EDTA-Ni, respectively, which were almost 1.15 and 1.07-fold of that in the R2 with Ni2+addition alone. At the same time, an obvious decrease of propionic acid was observed after EDTA-Ni addition. The speciation analysis of Ni showed that the percentages of water-soluble and exchangeable Ni were increased to 38.8% and 36.3% due to EDTA-Ni addition, respectively. Also, the high-throughput sequencing analysis revealed that the EDTA-Ni promoted the growth and metabolism ofMethanosarcinaandMethanobacterium, which might be the major reason for propionic acid degradation and methane production.Keywords:EDTA;kitchen waste;methane;microbial community;Ni2+

Zn2+-passivated carbon dots (named Z-CDs) were synthesized from zinc gluconate for the first time through a one-step pyrolysis treatment. The mechanism of Zn2+-enhanced fluorescence was carefully investigated, and a new strategy to passivate the surfaces of CDs by Zn2+ was proposed. Inspired by the complexation reaction between Zn2+ and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), a reversible “off–on” fluorescent nanosensor for the detection of EDTA and Zn2+ was constructed based on the depassivation and repassivation of Z-CDs, with a limit of detection as low as 3.2 × 10–7 M and 5.1 × 10–7 M, respectively. The proposed Z-CD-based nanosensor had been further utilized for EDTA and Zn2+ monitoring in tap water with excellent recovery. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first report of a fluorescence-based sensor of EDTA and a turn-on sensor of Zn2+ based on CDs with reversible detection capability. Also, benefiting from the low toxicity of zinc, Z-CDs were applied for multicolor bioimaging and in vitro detection in cells.

Treatment of Ni-EDTA in industrial nickel plating effluents was investigated by integrated application of Fenton and ozone-based oxidation processes. Determination of integrated sequence found that Fenton oxidation presented higher apparent kinetic rate constant of Ni-EDTA oxidation and capacity for contamination load than ozone-based oxidation process, the latter, however, was favorable to guarantee the further mineralization of organic substances, especially at a low concentration. Serial-connection mode of two oxidation processes was appraised, Fenton effluent after treated by hydroxide precipitation and filtration negatively affected the overall performance of the sequential system, as evidenced by the removal efficiencies of Ni 2+ and TOC dropping from 99.8% to 98.7%, and from 74.8% to 66.6%, respectively. As a comparison, O 3 /Fe 2+ oxidation process was proved to be more effective than other processes (e.g. O 3 -Fe 2+ , O 3 /H 2 O 2 /Fe 2+ , O 3 /H 2 O 2 -Fe 2+ ), and the final effluent Ni 2+ concentration could satisfied the discharge standard (<0.1 mg L −1 , China) under the optimal conditions (H 2 O 2 dosage of 1.0 mL L −1 , Fe 2+ : H 2 O 2 mole ratio of 1.46, and reaction time of 10 min for Fenton reaction , initial influent pH of 3.0, O 3 dosage of 252 mg L −1 , Fe 2+ of 150 mg L −1 , and reaction time of 30 min for O 3 /Fe 2+ oxidation). Furthermore, pilot-scale test was carried out to study the practical treatability towards the real nickel plating effluent, revealing the effective removal of some other co-existence contaminations. And Fenton reaction has contributed most, with the percentage ranging from 72.41% to 93.76%. The economic cost advantage made it a promising alternative to the continuous Fenton oxidation.

This paper proposes a combined ultrasound (US) and zero-valent iron/EDTA/Air (ZEA) system to remove polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from textile dyeing sludge . The removal efficiencies of 16 PAHs using ZEA, US/Air (air injected into the US process), and US/ZEA treatments were investigated, together with the effects of various operating parameters. The enhanced mechanisms of US and the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in removing PAHs in the US/ZEA system were explored. Results showed that only 42.5% and 32.9% of ∑16 PAHs were removed by ZEA and US/Air treatments respectively, whereas 70.1% were removed by US/ZEA treatment, (with favorable operating conditions of 2.0 mM EDTA, 15 g/L ZVI, and 1.08 w/cm 3 ultrasonic density). The US/ZEA system could be used with a wide pH range. US led to synergistic improvement of PAHs removal in the ZEA system by enhancing sludge disintegration to release PAHs and promoting ZVI corrosion and oxygen activation. In the US/ZEA system, PAHs could be degraded by ROS (namely OH, O 2 − /HO 2 , and Fe(IV)) and adsorbed by ZVI, during which the ROS made the predominant contribution. This study provides important insights into the application of a US/ZEA system to remove PAHs from sludge.

Perovskite-type oxide has been considered to be an effective oxygen carrier for producing oxygen-enriched gas stream for oxy-fuel combustion application. However, the main problem with those researched perovskite-type oxides as oxygen carriers is their relatively low oxygen production amount. This has limited oxygen concentration and the productivity of the separation process. This paper reports on characteristics and oxygen production performance of improved perovskite materials of Ba–Sr–Co–Fe oxides synthesized by a new microwave-assisted EDTA method (MWA-EDTA). The effect of microwave operating times on the oxygen production properties of perovskite-type Ba 1− x Sr x Co 0.8 Fe 0.2 O 3−δ ( x = 0, 0.5, 1) as well as the cyclic performance of improved BaCo 0.8 Fe 0.2 O 3−δ (BCF) powders are investigated in details. All obtained samples are characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), specific surface area measurements (BET) and environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). The results indicate that the samples with smaller crystallite size and higher porosity obtained by the MWA-EDTA showed better oxygen production properties than those prepared by conventional EDTA method. And the optimal microwave irradiation time for BCF is 30 min operating times. Furthermore, cyclic tests show that BCF synthesized by the optimal conditions has excellent reactivity and regeneration capacity after 21 cycles.

Nickel (Ⅱ)−ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Ni−EDTA) complexes are widely present in electroplating effluents. Owing to its chemical stability, Ni−EDTA is hardly removed in traditional Fenton/Fenton-like processes with conventional iron (Fe)−based catalyst. In this study, oxygen vacancies were introduced into our highly efficient and novel Fe 3 O 4 @γ−Al 2 O 3 catalysts using Cu doping for Ni−EDTA decomposition in Fenton−like system. Without noble−metal cocatalyst, the introduction of oxygen vacancies in Cu−doped Fe 3 O 4 @γ−Al 2 O 3 catalysts exhibit excellent Fenton−like activity even in neutral or alkaline conditions. Experimental results revealed that, without the aid of extra energy, Ni−EDTA complexes could be effectively decomposed over oxygen vacancies−based catalyst. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), X−ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), oxygen temperature−programmed desorption (O 2 −TPD), and hydrogen temperature−programmed reduction (H 2 −TPR) were used to get a deep insight into the decomposition mechanism. Additionally, by employing the Al−containing support, stable layered double−hydroxide phases of Ni Al could be formed, indicating that a synergy of oxidation and adsorption could simultaneously take place, which led to the recovery of released Ni 2+ ions and also reduction in secondary pollution. To investigate the decomposition process of Ni−EDTA over oxygen vacancies−based catalyst, liquid chromatography−quadrupole/electrostatic field orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry (LC−MS/MS) was employed to identify the generated intermediates, and thus, a plausible decomposition pathway was successfully conceived.

New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing drug-resistant bacteria often form stubborn biofilms and cause severe pneumonia, resulting in conventional antibiotic failure. In this study, we developed gelatin-genipin microspheres co-loaded with EDTA and meropenem (GEM) for targeted treatment of NDM pneumonia. EDTA exerted dual functions: it chelated Zn 2+ to inactivate NDM enzyme and restore meropenem activity (FIC = 0.046875), while also disrupting bacterial biofilms through chelation. GEM microspheres enable accelerated drug release in the artificial phlegm environment. In a mouse model of NDM pneumonia, GEM microspheres can enhance the recruitment of neutrophils and M1 cells at the early stage (12 h) through bacterial clearance, modulate the secretion of interferon-γ by CD8 + T cells and natural killer cells, and reshape the pulmonary immune microenvironment. Furthermore, GEM treatment reduced pathological pulmonary immune cell infiltration and excessive inflammation at late time points (days 3-7). Taken together, GEM microspheres integrate biofilm disruption, enzyme inhibition, synergistic bactericidal effects, and immunoregulation, representing a promising strategy against NDM drug-resistant bacterial pneumonia.

The slow Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycle during the Fenton reaction process strongly impedes oxidation efficiency in practical applications. In this study, an activated carbon (AC) assisted Fenton reaction system was used to treat electroplating wastewater containing Ni-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Ni-EDTA). AC was found to enhance the removal of Ni-EDTA in Fenton/Fenton-like reactions. The reported results revealed that AC could effectively promote the regeneration of Fe(II) from Fe(III) species via electron transfer to improve the reaction rather than directly enhancing the H 2 O 2 decomposition to accelerate the production of hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Quenching experiments and EPR also demonstrated that •OH and •O 2 − took part in the radical oxidation process, in which the contribution of •OH was dominant. XPS and FT-IR analysis further confirmed that the carbonyl group (C O) on the surface of AC could indeed act as the dominant active site and an electron donor to directly reduce Fe(III). In addition, electrochemical tests indicated that AC could increase the oxidation potential of Fe(III) to boost the reaction between Fe(III) and H 2 O 2 , thus enabling the transfer of electrons from H 2 O 2 to Fe(III) to facilitate the Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycle. This study might contribute to a new insight into the mechanisms of AC-catalyzed Fenton oxidation processes for the decomplexation heavy metal-EDTA.

Heavy metal complexes pose a challenge in terms of their resistance to removal due to their stable and intricate structure. In this study, we explored the utilization of Fe and N co-doped biochar derived from rice husk (Fe-N-RHBC) as catalytic particle electrodes in a three-dimensional electro-Fenton (3D-EF) system for the decomplexation and removal of a model pollutant, Ni-EDTA. The characterization analysis and comparison of catalytic activities confirmed the beneficial effects of Fe and N co-doping on various aspects, such as the types of active sites, interfacial electron transfer properties, and H 2 O 2 decomposition capacity. Compared to other investigated oxidation systems, the 3D-EF process demonstrated rapid removal of Ni-EDTA within the initial minute, with a maximum H 2 O 2 utilization of 99.1% after 30 min. The prepared catalytic particle electrodes exhibited high stability and catalytic capacity even after three consecutive cycles. Throughout the reaction, several processes, including anode oxidation, particle electrode polarization, catalysis, and adsorption of Fe-N-RHBC, as well as cathodic electro-deposition, synergistically contributed to the treatment of Ni-EDTA. The surface-bound O 2 − radicals and 1 O 2 generated by the Fe-N-RHBC catalytic particle electrode played a crucial role in the decomplexation and removal of Ni-EDTA. Building upon these findings, we further proposed potential mechanisms for the removal of Ni-EDTA in the 3D-EF system using the Fe-N-RHBC catalytic particle electrode.
