Sustainable pilot scale disperse dyeing in a waterless silicone medium dyeing system for no discharge of wastewater

Wenqing Cheng,Liujun Pei,Muhammad Asad Saleem,Lei Zhu,Jiping Wang

Clean dyeing technologies for polyester textiles, particularly waterless dyeing, have been studied extensively in recent decades. In the present work, a new waterless dyeing technology, the silicone medium dyeing, for polyester textiles had been investigated. The dyeing process of polyester textile in the silicone medium was optimized by determining the dyeing temperature, holding time, type and dosage of dye accelerator. The dye uptake of disperse dye and the fastness properties of the dyed polyester were equivalent to those of conventional water-bathed dyeing. After dyeing, polyester textile had a better color levelness. From the TGA and XRD results, it can be proved that silicone medium has no adverse effects on the fiber and can be used as a dyeing medium. The influence of the increase of halogen in the diazotized component on the affinity, dye uptake, diffusion coefficient , and other parameters was obtained by analyzing the dye uptake of C.I. Disperse Orange 44 and C.I. Disperse Yellow 163. These parameters formulate guidelines for the selection of disperse dyes for silicone medium dyeing system. To verify the feasibility of industrialization, pilot-scale dyeing was carried out. The results showed that, as compared to aqueous dyeing, higher colorfastness and better color levelness were obtained from silicone media. Therefore, this eco-friendly dyeing technology has considerable potential to become a mainstream dyeing method in the foreseeable future.

Canagliflozin is a potential cardioprotective drug but exerts no significant effects on pirarubicin‑induced cardiotoxicity in rats

Hongwei Shi,Qingfu Zeng,Yunjie Wei,Hong Yang,Heng Tang,Dan Wang,Peng Pu,Rui Feng

Pirarubicin (THP), one of the anthracycline anticancer drugs, is widely used in the treatment of various types of cancer, but its cardiotoxicity cannot be ignored. Canagliflozin, the first sodium‑glucose co‑transporter‑2 inhibitor approved by the USA FDA, has been shown to have a significant effect on cardiovascular damage caused by diabetes. However, it has not been reported whether it can resist THP‑induced cardiotoxicity. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of canagliflozin on THP‑induced cardiotoxicity and its mechanism. A rat model of cardiotoxicity induced by THP was established and canagliflozin treatment was performed at the same time. The changes of electrocardiography, cardiac coefficient and echocardiogram were observed. The levels of lactate dehydrogenase, brain natriuretic peptide, creatine kinase MB, cardiac troponin T, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde were detected. The expression of SOD2, NADPH oxidase 2, pro/cleaved‑caspase‑ and Bcl‑2/Bax were evaluated by western blotting. The primary culture of cardiomyocytes was prepared to explore the effect in vitro. After eight weeks, a series of cardiotoxicity manifestations were observed in THP rats. However, canagliflozin treatment had no significant effect on the above adverse reactions. Similarly, further studies showed that canagliflozin had no significant effect on THP‑induced cardiomyocyte injury in vitro. The present study showed that there was no significant protective effect of canagliflozin on THP‑induced cardiotoxicity and cardiomyocyte injury.

Structure of Cardamine hupingshanensis No. 2 Polysaccharide (CHP-2) and Its Effect on Streptozotocin-induced Diabetic Rats

Meidong Li,Xiufang Huang,Qin Zhang,Yifeng Zhou,Kai Luo

Four new types of water-soluble polysaccharides are isolated from Cardamine hupingshanensis . Herein, this study examines C. hupingshanensis polysaccharide no. 2 (CHP-2) with a molecular weight of 21.75 kDa. Analysis revealed that CHP-2 is composed of d -glucuronic acid, d -galacturonic acid, glucose, galactose, and L-arabinose. It is speculated that the main connecting bond is →4)-α-D-Glc(p)-(1→), →t)-α-D-Glcp-(1→). Through perfusion experiments using streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, oral CHP-2 solution is found to significantly reduce food intake, water intake, and fasting blood glucose levels, while increasing the weights of rats. In addition, CHP-2 significantly reduces the serum and liver malondialdehyde contents and increases the activity of the corresponding antioxidant enzymes. Moreover, the effect elicited by the CHP-2 solution is similar to that of phenformin hydrochloride solution. Hence, the results of this study suggest that CHP-2 exhibits blood sugar-lowering and anti-oxidation effects.

Bifunctional SnO2 Colloid Offers No Annealing Effect Compact Layer and Mesoporous Scaffold for Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells

Liangbin Xiong,Jiashuai Li,Feihong Ye,Haibing Wang,Yaxiong Guo,Xing Ming,Qingyun Chen,Shaoan Zhang,Ruihao Xie,Zhanxu Chen,Yang Lv,Guangqi Hu,Yingji He,Guojia Fang

SnO 2 compact layer (c-SnO 2 ) frequently suffers from degradation in high temperature processes (HTP) such as crack, worse interfacial contact, and electrical properties, that is, annealing effect. To solve this problem, a kind of bifunctional SnO 2 colloid is developed by using small molecular oxalate whose organic components can be removed clearly at a low temperature process (LTP). The c-SnO 2 and SnO 2 mesoporous layer (m-SnO 2 ) derived from the fresh and aged sols with the same colloid show no annealing effect, decreasing oxygen vacancy, and adsorbing water on increasing annealing temperature. The champion devices of LTP and HTP SnO 2 planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs) achieve, respectively, stabilized photoelectric conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 20.74% and 20.70%. In contrast, the performance of champion devices of their mesoporous counterparts is significantly improved, showing nearly hysteresis free character with stabilized PCEs of 22.40% and 22.37%, respectively. The inclusion of m-SnO 2 plays a role of an energy bridge, improving electrons collection efficiency, which is supported by photoluminescence and transient photoluminescence characterizations. HTP SnO 2 mesoporous PSCs can preserve 97.6% and 80% of their initial PCEs after aging for 25 weeks and 8-h irradiated/16-h dark cycle within 104 h. The high stability of HTP SnO 2 PSCs may ascribe to low oxygen vacancy and adsorbed water of HTP SnO 2 .

Fabrication of self-cleaning photocatalytic durable building coating based on WO3-TNs/PDMS and NO degradation performance

Guanyu Liu,Huiyun Xia,Yanhui Niu,Xu Zhao,Gengtong Zhang,Lifang Song,Huaxin Chen

Practical significance in terms of the long-term effective application of photocatalytic coatings is greatly challenged by its easy pollution and poor self-cleaning performance. In this paper, a self-cleaning photocatalytic WO 3 -TiO 2 nanorod (MWT) /PDMS building coating (MWT coating) was prepared by spraying methods. The surface hierarchical structure fabricated by MWT and PDMS was a crux to construct a superhydrophobic surface, which endowed MWT coating with self-cleaning performance. Besides, the MWT coating exhibited prominent durability and antifouling property after 450 d practical application of the external wall. The excellent self-cleaning property of the coating was confirmed by the removal and resistance to the adhesion of powder particles. Meanwhile, the photocatalytic properties of MWT endowed MWT coating with the ability to degrade organic pollutants on the surface. The color difference of the coating polluted by methyl red was only 1.18 and 4.77 after 24 h UV and visible irradiation, respectively. This mutual benefit effect of self-cleaning and photocatalysis was also reflected in the degradation of NO. In the first five cycles, the degradation efficiency of NO decreased by 4.74% gradually under visible light due to the adhesion of oxidation products, and most of the MWT on the coating surface was regenerated after flushing, the PCD efficiency increased by 3.71%. Furthermore, after 30 days of outdoor weathering test, the PCD efficiency of MWT coating decreased by 11.74% and 12.05% under UV and visible light, respectively, which lays a foundation for the long-term effectiveness of the MWT coating in the process of use.

A superior Fe-Zr mixed oxide catalyst for the simultaneous reduction of NO and SO2 with CO

Liam John France,Wan Li,Yanke Zhang,Wentao Mu,Zhihang Chen,Junjun Shi,Qiang Zeng,Xuehui Li

A series of Fe-Zr mixed-metal oxides were prepared and examined for the simultaneous reduction of NO and SO 2 with CO. The catalyst containing 40 mol% exhibited near-complete conversion of both pollutants at a minimum temperature of 350 °C and a GHSV of 90,000 h −1 . The addition of Fe 3+ to ZrO 2 decreased the crystallinity of the latter phase and significantly enhanced surface area. Concentrations of 30 mol% or greater produced segregated FeO x phases, which affected catalytic performance in distinctly different ways: supported Fe 3+ (30 mol%) possessed similar activity to doped Fe 3+ ; α-Fe 2 O 3 (50 mol%) inhibited activity due to its’ lower reducibility; an amorphous phase (40 mol%) promoted iron-weighted areal activity. A complete identification of the ambiguous component was not successfully established, but the obtained properties revealed that it exhibited weaker interaction with the support and had a size greater than that of oligomeric-Fe 2 O 3 yet smaller than 3 nm.

Hollow Cu2O@CoMn2O4 Nanoreactors for Electrochemical NO Reduction to NH3: Elucidating the Void-Confinement Effects on Intermediates

Chunpeng Bai,Shiying Fan,Xinyong Li,Zhaodong Niu,Jing Wang,Zhiyuan Liu,Dongke Zhang

Hollow nanoreactors show great potential in catalysis due to the void-confinement effect. Yet few studies have investigated the void-confinement effect of hollow nanoreactors on intermediates. Herein, electrochemical NO reduction to NH 3 (ENOR) is used as a probe reaction to study the void-confinement effect of hollow Cu 2 O@CoMn 2 O 4 nanoreactors on intermediates. Combined with the results of catalytic activity, H 2 -treated in situ diffusion Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the finite-element method simulation confirm that the void-confinement effect on the intermediate is the main reason for enhanced ENOR efficiency. Additionally, theoretical calculations also show that the Cu sites of Cu 2 O@CoMn 2 O 4 nanoreactors are favorable for the formation of *NOH intermediates. This work not only gives an insight into void-confinement effect of hollow nanoreactors on intermediates but also provides a valuable strategy for improving ENOR.

Defective Nickle–Iron Layered Double Hydroxide for Enhanced Photocatalytic NO Oxidation with Significant Alleviation of NO2 Production

Xiaoyu Li,Xiaoshu Lv,Jian Pan,Peng Chen,Huihui Peng,Yan Jiang,Haifeng Gong,Guangming Jiang,Li'an Hou

Photocatalysis offers a sustainable avenue for the oxidative removal of low concentrations of NO x from the atmosphere. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are promising candidate photocatalysts owing to their unique layered and tunable chemical structures, and the abundant hydroxide (OH − ) moieties on their surfaces that are hydroxyl radical ( • OH) precursors. However, inferior charge separation and limited active sites on an LDH hinder its practical applications. Herein, we developed a facile N 2 H 4 -driven etching (et) approach that introduces dual Ni 2+ and OH − vacancies (Ni v and OH v ) into NiFe-LDH nanosheets (referred to as NiFe-LDH-et) that facilitate improved charge-carrier separation and the formation of active Lewis acidic sites (Fe 3+ and Ni 2+ exposed at OH v ). In contrast to inert pristine LDH, NiFe-LDH-et actively removes NO when illuminated with visible light. Specifically, Ni 76 Fe 24 -LDH - et etched in 1.50 mmol·L −1 N 2 H 4 solution removes 32.8% of the NO from continuously flowing air (NO-feed concentration: ∼500 parts per billion (ppb)) when illuminated with visible light, thereby outperforming most reported catalysts. Experimental and theoretical data reveal that the dual vacancies promote the production of reactive oxygen species ( • O 2 − and • OH) and the adsorption of NO on the LDH. In-situ spectroscopy revealed that NO is preferentially adsorbed at Lewis acidic sites, particularly exposed Fe 3+ sites, and then converted into NO + that is subsequently oxidized to NO 3 − without the formation of any of the more toxic NO 2 intermediate, thereby alleviating risks associated with its production and emission.

Insights into the effects of Mn and Ni on Pt-modified sulfated CeO2 catalysts for NO removal

Hao Fan,Qin Peng,Zhenxing Shen,Xuefeng He,Yiming Yang

Nitric oxide (NO), a major atmospheric pollutant and a precursor to haze, can be removed using the denitration catalyst. Mn and Ni are commonly used as denitration catalyst additives owing to their adsorption abilities for NO and ammonia (NH3). In this study, we synthesized Mn- and Ni-loaded Pt-modified sulfated cerium oxide (PtSCe) catalysts using an impregnation method and explored the effects of these elements. The results revealed that the two elements had contrasting effects on the denitration activity of the catalysts. Mn improved the water vapor and sulfur resistance of the PtSCe sample by increasing the concentration of weak acid sites, enhancing the redox ability, and increasing the content of surface-adsorbed oxygen. The elevation in oxygen vacancies, stimulated by the presence of Ce3+ and Mn3+, swiftly replenished the reactive oxygen species, thereby sustaining the high denitration efficiency of the MnPt/SCe sample. Active sites on the catalyst surface included NH3 adsorbed on Lewis acid sites, NH4+, and –NH2, along with bridging, monodentate, and bidentate nitrate groups. Regarding the catalyst reaction mechanism, we determined that the selective catalyst reduction of NH3-SCR over MnPt/SCe followed both the Eley–Rideal and Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanisms. These findings offer crucial insights into the intricate relationship between metals, sulfates, and carrier molecules, thus providing implications for future catalyst design.

Bacteria-Targeted Combined with Photothermal/NO Nanoparticles for the Treatment and Diagnosis of MRSA Infection In Vivo

Kai Lv,Guowei Li,Xiangjun Pan,Luxuan Liu,Ziheng Chen,Yu Zhang,Hao Xu,Dong Ma

Currently, undeveloped diagnosis and delayed treatment of bacteria-infected sites in vivo not only expand the risk of tissue infection but are also a major clinical cause of multiple drug-resistant bacterial infections. Here, an efficient nanoplatform for near-infrared (NIR)-light-controlled release and bacteria-targeted delivery of nitric oxide (NO) combined with photothermal therapy (PTT) is presented. Using maltotriose-decorated mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA-Mal) and BNN6, a smart antibacterial (B@MPDA-Mal) is developed to combine bacterial targeting, gas-controlled release, and PTT. Utilizing bacteria's unique maltodextrin transport system, B@MPDA-Mal can accurately distinguish bacterial infection from sterile inflammation and target the bacteria-infected sites for efficient drug enrichment. Moreover, NIR-light causes MPDA to generate heat, which not only effectively induces BNN6 to produce NO, but also raises the temperature to harm the bacteria further. NO/photothermal combination therapy effectively eliminates biofilm and drug-resistant bacteria. The myositis model of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection is established and indicates that B@MPDA-Mal can successfully eradicate inflammation and abscesses in mice. Meanwhile, magnetic resonance imaging technology is used to monitor the treatment procedure and healing outcomes. Given the aforementioned advantages, the smart antibacterial nanoplatform B@MPDA-Mal can be used as a potential therapeutic tool in the biomedical field against drug-resistant bacterial infections.

Green and facile synthesis of nanostructured Co3O4/CeO2 catalysts via a glucose-urea method for NO oxidation

Shengjun Yi,Pincai Lai,Guilin Ma,Jinjian Pan,Zhen Chen,Yuanhang Qin,Xingmao Jiang

Nanocatalysis plays an important role in chemical industrial production, environmental protection and etc. However, traditional catalyst preparation methods are generally labor-intensive, time-consuming and need high-temperature calcination, which are not conducive to the preparation of nanostructured catalyst. Therefore, developing a green and facile method for nano-sized catalyst preparation is very significative. In this work, a series of nano-sized Co 3 O 4 /CeO 2 catalysts with high specific surface area, high oxygen storage and homogeneous distribution of active species were synthesized via a glucose-urea (G-U method), and applied in NO oxidation The NO oxidation performance indicates that the 12.5% CoCe G−U catalyst prepared by the G-U method shows higher activity than those of catalysts prepared by the traditional methods (precipitation, hydrothermal and impregnation methods). The characterization results revealed that the CoCe G−U catalysts have the highest specific surface area, pore volume, content of surface Ce 3+ and Co 3+ among the catalysts. Moreover, the nano Co 3 O 4 is better dispersed on CeO 2 , which resulted in more active oxygen species on the surface of the catalysts prepared by the G-U method. Herein, the higher specific surface area, the smaller Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles, the more active oxygen species and the higher Ce 3+ and Co 3+ contents of the CoCe G−U catalyst lead to the more excellent NO oxidation performance. This work provides a green and efficient approach for the industrial production of nano-sized oxide catalysts.
