During the struvite recovery process, Cd, a hazardous metal commonly found in waste streams, can be sequestered by struvite. This study investigated the influence of Cd 2+ on the precipitation of struvite. Quantitative X-ray diffraction (QXRD) results showed that the purity of struvite decreased from 99.1% to 73.6% as Cd concentration increased from 1 to 500 μM. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed a roughened surface of struvite, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis indicated that the peak area ratio of Cd–OH increased from 19.4% to 51.3%, while the area ratio of Cd-PO 4 decreased from 86.6% to 48.7% as Cd concentrations increased from 10 to 500 μM. The findings suggested that Cd 2+ disrupted the crystal growth of struvite, and mainly combined with –OH and -PO 4 to form amorphous Cd-bearing compounds co-precipitated with struvite. Additionally, Mg-containing amorphous phases were formed by incorporating Mg 2+ with –OH and -PO 4 during struvite formation.

Solanum nigrum is a well-documented cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulator; however, its Cd-induced tolerance capability and detoxification mechanism remain elusive. Hence, a short-term hydroponic experiment was performed in a multiplane glasshouse to determine the influence of Cd toxicity on subcellular distribution, chemical forms, and the physiological responses of cell wall towards Cd stress in a 4-week-old plant. The experiment was conducted following completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments ( n = 4 replicates). The results showed that Cd stress showed dose-dependent response towards growth inhibition. The subcellular distribution of Cd in S. nigrum was in the order of cell wall > soluble fractions > organelles, and Cd was predominantly extracted by 1 M NaCl (29.87~43.66%). The Cd contents in different plant tissues and cell wall components including pectin, hemicellulose 1 (HC1), hemicellulose 2 (HC2), and cellulose were increased with the increase in Cd concentrations; however, the percentage of Cd concentration decreased in pectin and cellulose. Results of the polysaccharide components such as uronic acid, total sugar contents, and pectin methylesterase (PME) activity showed Cd-induced dose-dependent increase relative to exposure Cd stress. The pectin methylesterase (PME) activity was significantly ( p < 0.05) enhanced by 125.78% at 75 μM Cd in root, 105.78% and 73.63% at 100 μM Cd in stem and leaf, respectively. In addition, the esterification, amidation, and pectinase treatment of cell wall and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) assay exhibited many functional groups that were involved in cell wall retention Cd, especially on carboxyl and hydroxyl groups of cell wall components that indicated that the –OH and –COOH groups of S. nigrum cell wall play a crucial role in Cd fixation. In summary, results of the current study will add a novel insight to understand mobilization/immobilization as well as detoxification mechanism of cadmium in S. nigrum .

Extracting cellulose from agricultural residues and converting it into environmentally friendly adsorbents to solve the heavy metal contamination problem of groundwater and farmland is an effective strategy to achieve high-value utilization of agricultural residues. Herein, we propose a streamlined crosslinking strategy to fabricate a cellulose-based amphoteric hyperbranched adsorbent (MAHPA) in a controlled manner. The strategy involves synthesizing the amphoteric hyperbranched functional reagent first and then crosslinking it with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). This approach simplifies the complexity of the multi-component cross-linking system, resulting in a conversion rate of reaction reagents exceeding 99 %. MAHPA, with a three-dimensional hyperbranched structure (degree of branching: 0.77), exhibits a high swelling rate (247.62 %) and high densities of carboxyl (7.05 mmol·g −1 ) and amino (8.27 mmol·g −1 ) groups. Moreover, the cellulose-hyperbranched double-network structure of MAHPA greatly enhances the intramolecular diffusion kinetics of heavy metal ions on MAHPA, enabling it to complete the removal of low concentrations of Cr(VI), As(V), Pb(II), and Cd(II) within 20 min. Interestingly, MAHPA demonstrates excellent synchronous capture performance for Cr(VI), As(V), Pb(II), and Cd(II) in groundwater at a velocity of 1.60 × 10 −2 m·s −1 . Meanwhile, applying MAHPA can realize the safe utilization of Cd-As contaminated soil. This work offers a general strategy for the structural design of cellulose-based hyperbranched adsorbent holding great promise as heavy metal contaminated groundwater and soil remediation field.

The focus of nanoparticle research is on exploring its application in all kinds of field. Among these, multifunctional nanoparticle attracts increasing interest due to its fittest property and adjustable property. Herein, a multifunctional and multistage nanoparticle considering the advantage of both nanogel and pH-responsive property has been designed and synthesized in the research. The composite nanoparticle was obtained by in situ processing and polymerization technique using acetylated β-cyclodextrin and gelatin as materials. Gelatin was first encapsulated into Ac-β-CD nanoparticle in order to investigate optimal fabrication conditions of W/O/W technique. The results showed that the nanoparticle had monodisperse characteristic and coarse spherical morphology, which was influenced by factors such as PVA concentration and water/oil ratio. In further step, two-phase composite nanoparticle could be obtained by combined W/O/W technique and in situ polymerization using optimal preparative parameters of W/O/W technique. Two-phase structure could be confirmed by TEM images and DLS results. Fabrication temperature had no effect on the diameters of composite nanoparticle, but influenced the encapsulated efficiency of nanogel. Finally, composite nanoparticle showed quick pH response property at mild acid medium and no obvious cytotoxicity.

In this work, a native beta-cyclodextrin capped silver nanoparticles decorated Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets (Ti 3 C 2 T x -AgNPs@β-CD) surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate was developed by a facile one-pot method. The two-dimensional Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets not only acted as the supporter to load AgNPs, but also served as chemical enhancement material. Meanwhile, β-CD played a critical role in the control of morphology and size of AgNPs, and its supramolecular structure also endowed the Ti 3 C 2 T x -AgNPs@β-CD substrate with selectivity. The Ti 3 C 2 T x -AgNPs@β-CD substrate exhibited excellent sensitivity, good intra-batch and inter-batch reproducibility, and long-term stability by detecting methylene blue model molecule. Then, the substrate was applied for selective determination of erythrosin B among pigment additives via the host-guest size-matching effect. The proposed SERS method with linear range of 1−100 mg/L and detection limit of 30 μg/L could realize rapid SERS analysis of erythrosin B in dyed food samples within 15 min with recoveries of 78.1 %–113.2 %. Erythrosin B was actually found in dyed cherry with 49 mg/kg and marshmallow with 16 mg/kg, and the result matched well with that of UV–vis method. Such a robust substrate possessed great values for efficient and rapid on-site SERS analysis in food safety issues.

We report a highly sensitive and selective strategy for Cd(II) assay using a singly labeled multifunctional probe consisting of a Cd(II)-specific aptamer (CAP), which acted as a recognition element for Cd(II) and a signal reporter. The presence of Cd(II) can induce the conformational switching of the CAP, accompanied by a change in fluorescence intensity. Thereby, a fluorescence strategy for Cd(II) assay was established. The proposed method has a detection limit of 2.15 nM, which is much lower than the detection limits reported in related literature. This strategy involves only an aptamer probe, and the use of such a G 4 -based quencher avoids the dual labeling of the CAP with fluorophore/quencher units. It is obviously more convenient and economical than the other aptamer-based biosensors for Cd(II) detection. The mechanism by which Cd(II) induces the CAP to change from a random coil sequence to a stem-loop structure was studied in a series of control experiments. This strategy would be helpful in the design of a sensitive analytical platform for various target assays in environmental and biomedical fields.
The presence of Cd 2+ leads to the conformational change of CAP from a random coil sequence to a stem-loop structure, resulting in a quenching in the fluorescence

Photocatalytic H 2 production using solar energy has received great attention, but suffers from low photocatalytic efficiency. Herein, Zn (1−x) Cd x S solid solution with different Zn/Cd molar ratio was synthesized by a solvothermal method, and tested for photocatalytic H 2 production from water. The bandgap, charge carrier separation efficiency and surface defect states of the Zn (1−x) Cd x S can be adjusted by altering the Zn/Cd molar ratio. The separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes was greatly enhanced with the Zn/Cd molar ratio of 0.8:0.2. Moreover, the Zn 0.8 Cd 0.2 S exposed most surface defect states compared to those of other Zn (1−x) Cd x S, which can be act as electron pools and active sites for improving photocatalytic H 2 production. Therefore, when the molar ratio of Zn/Cd is 0.8:0.2, the Zn 0.8 Cd 0.2 S exhibited the best performance for photocatalytic H 2 production with the H 2 production rate of 7.71 mmol·g -1 ·h -1 , which is much higher than that of ZnS (17 μmol·g -1 ·h -1 ) and CdS (5.37 μmol·g -1 ·h -1 ). This work provides an in-depth understanding of the surface defect states for enhancing the photocatalytic H 2 production.

Cadmium-based semiconductors have a wide range of applications in light-emitting, energy conversion, photodetection and artificial photosynthesis. With the concern about the potential toxicity of Cd, it is necessary to recycle the element from the Cd based semiconductors. Commonly, the precipitation of Cd cations with S 2− is deemed as the end point of recycling. However, actually, CdS is easy to be oxidized and released into the environment and accumulate in the food chain. It still remains challenges on how to refine the Cd element and convert it to the raw material. Herein, we demonstrate a facile room temperature method for recycling Cd from CdS. Cd can be produced from CdS within 3 h with the help of the lithium-ethylenediamine solution. DFT calculations further confirm that the high surface energy of (100) and (101) planes are selectively attacked by the solvated electrons in the solution, which is in good accordance with the XRD, STEM-HAADF and XPS characterizations. With a total recovery efficiency of 88%, Cd is successfully recovered from the CdS powder. This method provides a new perspective on the treatment of Cd-based semiconductor waste, which is of great significance for the recycling of cadmium metal.

Ubiquitous calcium carbonate (biogenic or abiotic) exerted an important impact on the migration and transformation of heavy metal in the environment. Cd(II) pollution, common in China, has attracted much attention due to its critical toxicity. The purpose of this study is to compare the differences in adsorption and desorption characteristics of Cd(II) between biogenic CaCO 3 (BCa) induced by Bacillus subtilis and abiotic CaCO 3 [AR (analytical reagent grade)-CaCO 3 and limestone]. The results show that the adsorption data of BCa and abiotic CaCO 3 for Cd(II) more closely followed the Langmuir model compared to the Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacity (obtained from Langmuir isotherm) of BCa for Cd(II) (172.41 mg/g) was significantly greater than that of abiotic CaCO 3 (AR-CaCO 3 : 6.31 mg/g, limestone: 21.01 mg/g), and its maximum desorption rate (1.48%) was significantly lower than that of abiotic CaCO 3 (AR-CaCO 3 : 74.30%, limestone: 5.65%). Furthermore, the adsorption process of BCa is a spontaneous endothermic reaction and obeys pseudo-second-order kinetics. The obvious advantages of BCa are that it is easily obtained by bacterial culture, and another is its stronger immobilisation of Cd(II) compared to abiotic CaCO 3 , giving a promising potential for heavy metal remediation.

Humin is the waste residue from the process of preparing humic acid, which accounts for a large proportion of the raw material (weathered coal humic acid). Its Cd(II) adsorption performance is far inferior to that of humic acid. How to regenerate humin is of great significance to the low-cost treatment of Cd(II) pollution in wastewater. In this study, humin was modified by hyperbranched polyethyleneimine to enhance the adsorption capacity for Cd(II). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the X-ray photoelectron spectrometer showed that hyperbranched polyethyleneimine was grafted to the surface of humin. Flame atomic absorption spectroscopy showed that the saturated Cd(II) adsorption capacity of the modified humin was increased to 11.975 mg/g, which is about 5 times than that of humin and is also higher than that of humic acid. The adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherm, and thermodynamic properties of humic acid, humin, and modified humin were also studied. This study may provide a foundation for research utilizing natural resources to reduce heavy metal pollution in the environment.Keywords:humin;hyperbranched polyethyleneimine;modification;adsorption;Cd(II)

Heavy metals pollution is one of the key problems of environment protection. Electrochemical methods, particularly anodic stripping voltammetry, have been proven a powerful tool for rapid detection of heavy metal ions. In the present work, a bismuth modified porous graphene (Bi@PG) electrode as an electrochemical sensor was adopted for the detection of heavy metal Cd2+in an aqueous solution. Combining excellent electronic properties in sensitivity, peak resolution, and high hydrogen over-potential of bi-continuous porous Bi with the large surface-area and high conductivity on PG, the Bi@PG electrode exhibited excellent sensing ability. The square wave anodic stripping voltammetry response showed a perfect liner range of 10−9–10−8M with a correlation coefficient of 0.9969. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) are calculated to be 0.1 and 0.34 nM with a sensitivity of 19.05 μA·nM−1, which is relatively excellent compared to other carbon-based electrodes. Meanwhile, the Bi@PG electrode showed tremendous potential in composite detection of multifold heavy metals (such as Pb2+and Cd2+) and wider linear range.Keywords:porous materials;graphene;bismuth;electrochemical deposition;square wave anodic stripping voltammetry

The mechanism of GO/rGO interaction with trypsin is investigated using multiple methods. UV-Vis reveals that trypsin has a maximum absorption at 278 nm, the absorption intensity increased demonstrating GO/rGO alters the solvent environment of trypsin and exposes the aromatic chromogenic groups. ITC experiments with GO and trypsin provide a negative ΔH of -25.98 KJ mol −1 and the association constant Ka of 4.829 × 10 −4 . The negative ΔS of -23.64 J mol −1 ∙K −1 is further given by the Gibbs–Helmholtz equation. Combining with the ζ potential result, the driving forces for binding include hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interaction forces and van der Waals forces. Fluorescence spectroscopy shows that GO/rGO can significantly quench the fluorescence intensities of trypsin. The equilibrium constant Kd of GO/ rGO-24h / rGO-48h is 4.41±0.07, 5.82±0.53, 7.24±0.25, respectively, which means the reduced content of oxygen-containing groups can weaken the binding forces between GO/rGO and trypsin. CD show that even low concentrations of GO/rGO affect the secondary structure of trypsin, mainly decreasing the α -helix and β -fold content while increasing the β -turn and random coil content of trypsin. Overall, GO/rGO can effectively interact with trypsin, the oxidation degree of GO/rGO can affects the combination of trypsin and further influence on protein conformation and function.
