Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) has attracted enormous attention as a membrane material with regard to its excellent properties in recent years. In this paper, a new sample preparation technique, the PVDF membrane as the extraction phase, has been applied to the extraction of four endocrine-disrupting compounds: bisphenol A (BPA), 4-t-octylphenol (4-t-OP), nonylphenol (NP), and 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) from water samples for the first time, prior to their determination by high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection. Some important experimental parameters affecting the extraction efficiency were optimized. Good linearity was observed over the concentration range of 1.0–100.0 ng mL−1 for BPA, and 2.0–100 ng mL−1 for 4-t-OP, NP and 4-NP with the correlation coefficients (r) greater than 0.9934. The limit of detection (S/N = 3) of the method was 0.2 ng mL−1 for BPA and 0.4 ng mL−1 for 4-t-OP, NP and 4-NP. The method is convenient, cost effective and can be a useful alternative approach for the extraction and determination of the endocrine-disrupting compounds in water samples.

The electrochemical determination of nonylphenol (NP) using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) is developed based on a reduced graphene–DNA hybrid-modified glassy carbon electrode (GR-DNA/GCE). The electrochemical oxidation of NP at the GR-DNA/GCE is shown to be an one-electron and one-proton process, and due to the synergic effect of GR and DNA , the GR-DNA/GCE has 4.87, 2.76 and 2.09 times higher current response than bare GCE, DNA/GCE, and GR/GCE, respectively. Using DPV in the 0.1 mol L −1 acetate buffer solution at 0.1 V and with a 300 s accumulation time (pH = 4.6), the GR-DNA/GCE exhibits a linear current response towards the electrochemical oxidation of NP in the concentration range of 5.0 × 10 −8 to 4.0 × 10 −6 mol L −1 and a detection limit of 1.0 × 10 −8 mol L −1 ( S / N = 3). In addition, this GR-DNA/GCE also indicates high selectivity and reproducibility, and can be successfully used to determine the presence of NP in Asian Clams and natural water samples with comparative sensitivity to high-performance liquid chromatography, and with recoveries ranging from 95% to 103%, showing its practical prospects in the determination of NP in real samples.

Thermal-sensitive poly( N , N -diethylacrylamide) grafted poly(acrylonitrile/styrene) (PDEAm- g -PAN/PSt) polymeric microspheres were prepared from PDEAm macromonomer, St and AN by dispersion copolymerization . The polymeric microspheres had raspberry-like morphology with large surface area. Palladium–metal (Pd–M) (M: copper, Cu, silver , Ag) bimetallic nanoparticles were stabilized on the surface of the PDEAm- g -PAN/PSt microspheres via the coordinate interaction between amide groups in PDEAm and metal ions with the reduction of the corresponding ions. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) results confirmed the size and composition of the immobilized Pd–M nanoparticles. The Pd–M bimetallic nanoparticles showed superior catalytic efficiencies for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) than the monometallic nanoparticles. The catalytic activity of the Pd–M bimetallic catalysts could be controlled by the molar ratio of Pd and M ions and composition of Pd–M nanoparticles. Moreover, the catalytic property of the Pd–M nanoparticles could be regulated by temperature and increased with increasing the temperature above lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Furthermore, the Pd–M nanoparticles could be easily recycled and reused to catalyze 4-NP for five times without loss of activity. These bimetallic nanoparticles possess great potential in future practical application in catalytic technology.

In this work, an imprinted electrochemical sensor based on electrochemical reduced graphene covalently modified carbon electrode was developed for the determination of 4-nonylphenol (NP). An amine-terminated functional graphene oxide was covalently modified onto the electrode surface with diazonium salt reactions to improve the stability and reproducibility of the imprinted sensor. The electrochemical properties of each modified electrodes were investigated with differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The electrochemical characteristic of the imprinted sensor was also investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in detail. The response currents of the imprinted electrode exhibited a linear relationship toward 4-nonylphenol concentration ranging from 1.0×10 −11 to 1.0×10 −8 g mL −1 with the detection limit of 3.5×10 –12 g mL −1 (S/N=3). The fabricated electrochemical imprinted sensor was successfully applied to the detection of 4-nonylphenol in rain and lake water samples.

The PEI@Mg2SiO4 hybrid composite is readily synthesized for adsorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrophenol compounds (NACs), in which more than 11% PEI is embedded. By the removal rate of 4-nitrophenol (10 mg L−1) and the capture capacity of CO2, the Mg2+ : PEI : SiO32− optimal mole ratio of the PEI@Mg2SiO4 is 1 : 0.6 : 1.5. The composite shows the highest adsorption amounts of 0.94 mmol g−1 CO2 at 50 °C. The heat treatment regeneration exhibits a good stability, e.g. the CO2 capture capacity decreases by only 20% after four cycles, and the desorption rate of CO2 remains more than 91%. It also exhibites a fast adsorption and high capacity for 4-nitrophenol (NP), 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl group (TNP). The adsorption capacity of NP, DNP and TNP is 2.40 mmol g−1, 2.66 mmol g−1 and 4.85 mmol g−1 respectively, which is more than that of the conventional sorbents. This work presents the higher capacity and eco–friendly sorbent for CO2 and nitrophenol compounds.

The aim of this paper was to examine the sublethal toxic effects of nonylphenol ethoxylate (NP 10 EO), its primary degradation product nonylphenol (NP), and their mixture on Moina macrocopa . Chronic toxicity tests were carried out by using sublethal chemical concentrations. Results showed that all treatments reduced the survivorship, body length, and reproduction of M. macrocopa with NP being 10 %–20 % more toxic to M. macrocopa than NP 10 EO. Results also indicated that the toxic effects of NP 10 EO and NP mixture on M. macrocopa were more severe than that of any single chemical alone. At the highest concentration in this experiment, 0.337 mg L −1 NP 10 EO plus 0.0154 mg L −1 NP treatment caused the survivorship of M. macrocopa to zero, neonates number of reproductions to zero, 45.5 % reduction in the body length, and 88 % reduction in the total neonates number.

Abstract A one-pot method was introduced to fabricate Ag–SiO 2 hollow composite spheres with developed porosity by employing monodisperse carboxylic-capped polystyrene (PS–COOH) spheres as a hard template. During the synthetic process, Ag + ions were immediately anchored on the surface of the PS–COOH spheres via electrostatic interaction and readily reduced by employing polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) as a reducing agent. At the same time, silica oligomers derived from the hydrolysis of PMHS and TEOS were slowly deposited on the PS–COOH spheres to form solid silica shells. Subsequent decomposition of the PS–COOH spheres in air induced the formation of Ag–SiO 2 hollow spheres. The as-prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and N 2 absorption–desorption study. The results show that the well-designed composite spheres featured thin and spherical silica shell (~10 nm), large surface area (>240 m 2 g −1 ) and mesopore (6.0–9.0 nm). In addition, the Ag–SiO 2 hollow composite spheres exhibited high catalytic performance toward the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP). Graphical Abstract A one-pot method was reported to prepare Ag–SiO 2 hollow spheres with well-developed porosity, which exhibited high catalytic performance and durable activity for the reaction of 4-NP to 4-AP.

We present a simple and effective fluorescence method for the detection of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), which is based on TNT recognition by amine-capped silicon quantum dots (SiQDs). The highly luminescent functionalized SiQDs were obtained by a one-step hydrothermal process, using 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane as the precursor. The as-prepared SiQDs were directly used as a recognition probe for the detection of TNT because of the strong interactions between the TNT molecule and the SiQDs with an amine group. The formation of Meisenheimer complexes (TNT–amine complexes) could quench the fluorescence of SiQDs by fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Such fluorescence response could be used to quantify TNT over the range of 5–500 nM with a detection limit down to 1 nM, and has been successfully applied for the assay of TNT in spiked tap water. The probe exhibited excellent selectivity. This method has great potential for applications in TNT detection.

Novel protocol towards multifunctional magnetic organic–inorganic core–shell nanostructured catalysts of Fe3O4@SN/HPW@CG–Ag with tailored properties are presented in this work. Such nanocomposites congregate the properties and functions of a single component into a whole. For instance, Fe3O4 cores protected by amino-functionalized SiO2 shell endowed the composites with superparamagnetism (28.6 emu g−1) and thereby facilitate the process of separation and recovery. Phosphotungstic acid, as a bridging agent, provided a strong interaction for the anchoring of glutaraldehyde cross-linked chitosan onto the surface of Fe3O4@SN. More interestingly, chitosan could simultaneously behave as a stabilizer and reductant for the in situ synthesis of “green” Ag NPs without addition of any other reducing agent or organic solvent, and Ag NPs provided the compounds with a catalytic performance. Further the size, loading of Ag NPs and the thickness of the chitosan layer were all controllable. Meaningfully, the as-synthesized catalyst Fe3O4@SN/HPW@CG–Ag exhibited an exceptional catalytic performance for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol in the presence of sodium borohydride (the reaction was accomplished within 7 min) and could be reused at least 10 times with good stability by means of convenient magnetic separation. Thence, the design philosophy of the multifunctional robust Ag-based nanocatalysts may pave the way for the synthesis of other catalyst systems with long-term stability.

To enhance the stability of a catalyst that uses alginate as a carrier, Ag nanoparticle-loaded glutaraldehyde-crosslinked calcium alginate (Ag/CA@GTA) hydrogel beads were prepared. The Ag/CA@GTA hydrogel beads were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses. Given that the mechanical strength of the support was remarkably enhanced by crosslinking alginate with GTA, the resulting Ag/CA@GTA beads exhibited high stability and durable activity, with more than 97% conversion within 10 successive cycles, for the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol by NaBH4 in aqueous solution. These Ag/CA@GTA hydrogel beads were expected to have potential as a highly efficient, cost-effective and eco-friendly heterogeneous catalyst for industrial applications.

This work presented a novel, facile, cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach for the preparation of magnetic core–shell structured catalyst i.e. Fe 3 O 4 @SN–Ag (abbreviation of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 –NH 2 –Ag). During the process of preparation, Ag nanoparticles were in situ generated with amino groups in the surface of Fe 3 O 4 @SN serving as green reductant and stabilizer in the absence of any additional toxic reductant or organic reagent. Magnetic core, Fe 3 O 4 , was easily prepared through solvothermal method. The subsequent coating and surface amino functionalization of SiO 2 was accomplished via one-pot sol–gel method, which was green and time-saving. What’s more, the resulting catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic property (the reaction was finished within 2 min) and reusability (reused at least seven times) in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol.

Graphical An Fe 3 O 4 /Cu nanocatalyst that exhibits excellent catalytic performance in the degradation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) (the reaction was accomplished within 4 min), rhodamine B (within 3 min), and methylene blue (within 1 min) as well as superior stability (can be reused at least five times) was successfully synthesized through a green one-step solvothermal method with ethylene glycol as reductant and reaction media. Noble-metal-derived functional materials have played indispensable roles in the reduction of dye under aqueous conditions; however, their cost and separation are great limitations on their wider practical applications. Therefore, an alternative preparation of comparable materials with low cost and good ease of separation is required. Herein magnetic microspheres (i.e., Fe 3 O 4 /Cu) were synthesized through a green single-step solvothermal method for the first time with ethylene glycol serving as reductant and reaction media. The prepared materials were characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, a vibrating sample magnetometer, and so forth. Additionally, by employing the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol as a model reaction, the effects of preparation time and the initial dosage of Cu(NO 3 ) 2 on the rate constant of the catalytic reduction reaction were systematically investigated. Moreover, the obtained hybrid nanocatalysts were also applied to reduce and degrade common organic dyes (rhodamine B and methylene blue) in the presence of NaBH 4 . Quite significantly, it was shown that it could catalytically degrade different organic dyes with excellent catalytic performance and high stability in recycled reactions up to five times. More interestingly, the material can be easily separated from the catalytic system for further use.
