In this work, tannic acid was selected as a green cross-linking agent to cross-link carboxymethyl chitosan to prepare a magnetic adsorbent (CC-OTA@Fe 3 O 4 ), which was used to remove methylene blue (MB) and Cu 2+ . CC-OTA@Fe 3 O 4 was characterized by FTIR, 13 C NMR, XRD, VSM, TGA, BET and SEM. The adsorption behavior was studied using various parameters such as pH value, contact time, initial concentration of MB and Cu 2+ , and temperature. The results showed that adsorption of MB and Cu 2+ followed the pseudo-second-order model and the Sips model. The maximum adsorption capacities were determined to be 560.92 and 104.25 mg/g MB and Cu 2+ at 298 K, respectively. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the adsorption is spontaneous and endothermic in nature. According to the results of FTIR and XPS analyses, the electrostatic interaction was accompanied by π–π interaction and hydrogen bonding for MB adsorption, while complexation and electrostatic interaction were the predominant mechanism for Cu 2+ adsorption. Furthermore, CC-OTA@Fe 3 O 4 displayed remarkable stability in 0.1 M HNO 3 , exhibited promising recyclability, and could be easily separated from aqueous solutions in the magnetic field. This study demonstrates the potential of CC-OTA@Fe 3 O 4 as an adsorbent for the removal of cationic dyes and heavy metals from wastewater.

Herein, the Cu(III) synthesized from copper plating effluent was developed for the first time to evaluate the onsite degradation performance of heavy metal complexes in the wastewater, thus achieving the purpose of “treating waste with waste”. The results indicated that synthetic Cu(III) presented the excellent decomplexation performance for Cu(II)/Ni(II)-organic complexes. The removal efficiency of Cu(II)/Ni(II)-EDTA significantly increased with increasing Cu(III) dosage, and the degradation of Cu(II)/Ni(II)-EDTA by synthetic Cu(III) system displayed highly pH-dependent reactivity. The radical quencher experiments confirmed that Cu(III) direct oxidation were mainly involved in the degradation of Cu(II)-EDTA. Additionally, the continuous decarboxylation process was proven to be the main degradation pathway of Cu(II)-EDTA in Cu(III) system. The coexisting substances (SO 4 2− , Cl − and fulvic acids) showed little impacts at low level for the removal of Cu(II)/Ni(II)-EDTA, while retarded the degradation of Cu(II)-EDTA slightly at high level, which features high selective oxidation. Encouragingly, it was also effective to remove Cu(II)/Ni(II)-EDTA from in treating actual Cu/Ni-containing wastewater through synthetic Cu(III) treatment.

In this work, we report the synthesis of a new thiosemicarbazone-based drug of N′-(di(pyridin-2-yl)methylene)-4-(thiazol-2-yl)piperazine-1-carbothiohydrazide (HL) featuring a thiazole spectator for efficient coordination with Cu(II) to give [CuCl(L)]2(1) and [Cu(NO3)(L)]2(2). Both1and2exhibit dimeric structures ascribed to the presence of di-2-pyridylketone moieties that demonstrate dual functions of chelation and intermolecular bridging. HL,1, and2are highly toxic against hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines Hep-G2, PLC/PRF/5, and HuH-7 with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values as low as 3.26 nmol/mL (HL), 2.18 nmol/mL (1), and 2.54 × 10−5nmol/mL (2) for PLC/PRF/5. While the free ligand HLmay elicit its anticancer effect via the sequestration of bio-relevant metal ions (i.e., Fe3+and Cu2+),1and2are also capable of generating cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) to inhibit cancer cell proliferation. Our preliminary pharmacokinetic studies revealed that oral administration (per os, PO) of HLhas a significantly longer half-lifet1/2of 21.61 ± 9.4 h, nearly doubled as compared with that of the intravenous (i.v.) administration of 11.88 ± 1.66 h, certifying HLas an effective chemotherapeutic drug via PO administration.

Iodinated contrast media compounds (ICMs) are intensively applied in medical diagnostic radiology and have received wide environmental concerns due to formation potential of iodinated disinfection byproducts. Conventional water/wastewater treatment processes cannot effectively remove ICMs; reducing their total organic iodine concentration is even more difficult. The source control or elimination of ICMs thus becomes necessary. We report here that the refractory ICMs (5 μM) can be efficiently deiodinated by ascorbate/ascorbic acid (AA) (200 μM) coupled with a trace amount of Cu(II) (5 μM) through catalytic reduction but not oxidation, contrary to the conventional concept of AA/Cu(II) coupling, which produces reactive oxygen species. Taking diatrizoate (DTZ, a refractory ICM) as an example, the coupling completely deiodinated DTZ without destroying its molecular structure. High-performance liquid chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis revealed that ternary complexes form between Cu(II), ascorbate, and the anilide moiety of DTZ. Cu(II) in the ternary complex works as an efficient electron-transfer shuttle to convey electrons from ascorbate to the target compound, inducing sequential and complete deiodination. Both DTZ and the nonionic ICMs can be effectively deiodinated even in human urine. Thus, AA coupled with trace Cu(II) could be potentially useful for the source elimination of organic iodine of ICMs.

Herein, we explore the development of three copper(II) Schiff base complexes (Cu-SBC, C1 - C3 ) aimed at inhibiting urease (UA), achieved through the thoughtful design of ligands. By integrating a fluorinated Schiff base ligand (SBL) with auxiliary ligands—namely, 2-methylimidazole, 2-ethylimidazole, and 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine—this research systematically examines the impact of steric factors on the inhibition of the UA enzyme. The synthesized complexes underwent comprehensive characterization, including crystallographic analysis. The three synthesized Cu(II) complexes exhibit two distinct coordination geometries dictated by their auxiliary ligands. C1 and C2 display four-coordinate distorted square planar geometries, while C3 adopts a five-coordinate distorted square pyramidal configuration. The biological evaluation revealed that C1 demonstrated a markedly enhanced UA inhibitory activity compared to the standard reference acetohydroxamic acid (IC 50 : 6.12 ± 0.44 vs. 27.73 ± 2.93 μM). Computational methodologies were employed to complement the experimental investigations, elucidating the molecular underpinnings of the observed activity disparities among the complexes. Consequently, the structure-activity relationship analysis indicates that steric hindrance is crucial in modulating the UA inhibitory activity, providing important perspectives for the development of new UA inhibitors and their potential uses in biomedicine.

Usually, Cu(II) cannot effectively activate peracetic acid (PAA), but it was observed that the high concentration of Cl - in Cu(II)/PAA process could notably promote the decoloration of rhodamine B (RhB) in the preliminary experiment. Therefore, the mechanism on the enhanced effect of Cl - in Cu(II)/PAA process for RhB decoloration was investigated in detail in this work. With the addition of Cl - in Cu(II)/PAA process, it could rapidly combine with Cu(II) to produce highly active Cu(II)-Cl n complexes, which could promote the Cu(II) reduction to Cu(I) and subsequent PAA activation. At pH 8.5, the RhB decoloration efficiency in Cl - /Cu(II)/PAA process could reach 85.8 %, and CH 3 C(O)OO • and CH 3 C(O)O • mainly contributed to the decoloration of RhB in this condition. However, at pH 4.0, reactive chlorine species were considered to be responsible for RhB decoloration in this process. The increase of Cu(II), PAA and Cl - dosage facilitated the RhB decoloration in Cl - /Cu(II)/PAA process, while the excessive Cl - inhibited RhB decoloration. HCO 3 - showed an apparent improvement effect on RhB decoloration, while fulvic acid (FA) obviously suppressed RhB decoloration. This work provides a deep insight on the facilitation effect of Cl - in Cu(II)/PAA process and a strategy to broaden PAA catalysis via Cu(II).

Transition metal carboxylates with O- and N-donor ligands are interesting for their structural features. Seven novel isonicotinamide(inic)-based metal complexes of [Cd(inic)2(L1)2(H2O)2] · 2H2O (1) (L1 = 2-chloronicotinate), [Cd(inic)2(L2)2(H2O)2] (2) (L2 = 2,4-dichlorobenzoate), [Cu(inic)2(L3)2] (3) (L3 = 4-chlorophenoxyacetate), [Cu3(inic)6(L4)2(HL4)2(H2O)2] · 2H2O (4) (L4 = azelate), [Zn(inic)2(L1)2(H2O)2] · (inic) · H2O (5), [Zn(inic)(L5)(H2O)4] (6) (L5 = 3-nitrophthalate) and [Zn2(inic)2(L6)2] · 5H2O (7) (L6 = 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate) have been obtained by the introduction of the carboxylates by the common solution method and are structurally featured by different techniques of EA, IR spectra, TG and SCXRD analysis. The X-ray studies told that these complexes display mononuclear to trinuclear structures with octahedral/square-pyramidal geometry around the Zn2+, trigonal bipyramidal/octahedral at the Cu2+ and octahedral for the Cd2+. The inic in 1–7 are coordinated only in monodentate fashion with its ring N, while 5 has the lattice inic. The carboxylates coordinated to the metal in monodentate, chelating bidentate and bridging bidentate fashions. The pair of complementary N-H···O H-bonds from the CONH2 of the inic were found in all compounds except 7. Except 1 and 2, all other compounds bear the CH-O contacts from the pyridine CH of the inic. The intricate intra- and intermolecular classical H-bonds, CH-N, CH-O, CH-Cl, CH2-O, O-N, O-O, Cl-O, Cl-Cl, CH-π, CH2-π, C-π, N-π, Cl-π and π-π associations are elucidated by the X-ray crystallographic studies, which push the discrete complexes into high-dimensional ordered supramolecular structures.

This work aimed to develop a feasible technology to reuse dead pig biowaste for heavy metals removal , which was first carbonized into pig bone char (PBC) after pyrolysis and further functionalized with amino ( NH 2 ) to improve its affinity with heavy metals. The application of PBC after NH 2 -functionalization for aqueous heavy metals removal was explored, including Pb 2+ , Cu 2+ , and different complex Cu(II) species. PBC@SiO 2 -NH 2 showed comparable performance with AC@SiO 2 -NH 2 . The adsorption capacity of Pb 2+ and Cu 2+ by PBC@SiO 2 -NH 2 was 120 and 30 mg g −1 , respectively. The NH 2 functionalization enhanced the adsorption of complex Cu(II) species, and PBC@SiO 2 -NH 2 exhibited good performance under a wide pH range and coexisting ions. The adsorption of Cu(II) EDTA species with an EDTA/Cu(II) molar ratio of 1.0 by PBC would be enhanced ~3 times and ~6 times after NH 2 functionalization and further addition of Fe 3+ , respectively. The results of EDX , elemental mapping, and XPS confirmed the adsorption of Cu(II) species. The adsorption kinetics , isotherm, and thermodynamics of different Cu(II) species by PBC@SiO 2 -NH 2 were investigated. The regeneration of PBC@SiO 2 -NH 2 was easily performed via acidic wash. These results suggested the application potential of the reuse of biowaste, which could be a promising adsorbent for aqueous heavy metals after specific functionalization.

Conventional flocculants are difficult to effectively remove dissolved ions and organic matter from water. This work aims to develop an environmentally friendly and renewable core–shell type flocculant (MCHS-g-P(AM-IA)) with octopus tentacle-like strong adsorption structure. The organic shell hydrolyses into molecular chains like octopus tentacles and adsorb dissolved ions/organic macromolecules through suckers-like functional groups, while the magnetic core acts as the growth center of flocs. Configuration and physical/chemical properties of the flocculant were analyzed by a series of characterization methods. Set Cu(II) and malachite green (MG) as models of heavy metal and organic pollutants separately, the removal capacity of MCHS-g-P(AM-IA) for water contaminants was studied in single-contaminant system and binary-contaminant system. The flocculation behavior and mechanism of MCHS-g-P(AM-IA) were deeply investigated by analysis of pH-dependence, background cationic influence and flocculation kinetics and SEM-EDS/XPS analysis of flocs. Furthermore, the flocculation performance in actual water matrix and regeneration tests of MCHS-g-P(AM-IA) were carried out to evaluate the applicable feasibility of flocculants for purification of complex wastewater in single stage water treatment.

Structural Fe(II/III) hydroxides on the shell of nano-zerovalent iron (nZVI) are reactive sites for As(III) adsorption. Well-controlled structural Fe(II) hydroxides (SFH) is prepared to serve for As(III) removal in present study. With oxygen As(III) removal by SFH occurred efficiently but the removal efficiency was greatly reduced under anoxic conditions. The mineral transformation from SFH to lepidocrocite probably contributed to the robust removal efficiency of As(III). It is found that Cu(II), Cr(VI) and NO 2 − in aqueous solution could act as oxidants and promote the mineral transformation of SFH. A more efficient As(III) removal was therefore observed without oxygen. The removal efficiency decreased in the order O 2 /SFH ≈ Cu(II)/SFH > Cr(VI)/SFH ≈ NO 2 − /SFH at near neutral pH. The removal efficiency was less dependent on the initial pH for O 2 /SFH and Cu(II)/SFH systems than Cr(VI)/SFH and NO 2 − /SFH systems. Distribution of As on solid phases was able to describe the removal mechanism of As(III), and the results showed that the mineral transformation promoted the precipitation process and inhibited outer-sphere complexation, thus leading to enhanced As removal. With Cu(II), Cr(VI) and NO 2 − , the generation of oxidants from SFH transformation drove As(III) oxidation, and contributed to total As removal.

A magnetic multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) nanocomposite was synthesized and was used as an adsorbent for removal of furazolidone (FZD) and Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. Influence of parameters on the adsorption capacity, including initial pH, contact time, and temperature, were investigated. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were used for the mathematical description of adsorption equilibrium. Experimental data were analyzed by pseudo first order, pseudo second, and intraparticle diffusion order kinetic models. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔH0, ΔS0, and ΔG0 calculated from adsorption process revealed that the adsorption process was spontaneous, exothermic, and a physical process in the experimental temperature range. Cu(II) had a strong suppression effect on FZD binding in the simultaneous adsorption and FZD preloading experiment. As for Cu(II) simultaneous adsorption and preloading, the impact of FZD on Cu(II) desorption was almost negligible. The practical application of magnetic MWCNTs and regeneration of magnetic MWCNTs for several cycles using hydrochloric acid and N,N-dimethylformamide were also investigated. Results of the study showed that the carbon nanotubes have good regeneration property and can be used as potential adsorbent for FZD and Cu(II) in water/wastewater.

To cope with different environments of application, electromagnetic wave absorption (EWA) materials with multifunctionality have attracted a wide range of interests. And excessive heavy metal ions in aqueous solutions seriously affect people’s health and pose a major challenge to environmental safety. In this study, carbon microtube/carbon nanotube (CMT/CNT) composites were fabricated via carbonization and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods. The CNT wrapped with cobalt nanoparticles were grown in situ on the CMT which derived from kapok fiber. By varying the concentration of cobalt precursors, the EWA and Cu(II) adsorption performances of CMT/CNT can be efficiently tuned. Optimizing the cobalt content to 2 wt% resulted in a minimum reflection loss ( RL ) of −66.14 dB at a matching thickness of 1.91 mm, with an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 5.35 GHz. The adsorption capacity of Cu(II) by the CMT/CNT composite can reach 102.01 mg/g when the initial Cu(II) concentration is 500 mg/L. This research not only shows great promise for applications in the field of EWA materials but also holds significant potential for heavy metal ion removal and as a catalyst carrier, among other areas.
