Cadmium-caused environmental pollution and diseases have always been worldwide problems. Thus it is extremely urgent to establish a cheap, rapid, simple and selective detection method for trace cadmium in drinking water . In this study, a fluorescence “turn-on” method based on ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA)-etched CdTe@CdS quantum dots (QDs) was designed to detect Cd 2+ . High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were utilized for chemical and structural characterization of the as-prepared QDs. Based on chemical etching of EDTA on the surface of CdTe@CdS QDs, specific Cd 2+ recognition sites were produced, and then results in fluorescence quenching . The introduction of Cd 2+ could identify these sites and restore the fluorescence of the EDTA-QDs system. Under the optimum conditions, the nanoprobe shows a linear response range from 0.05 to 9 μM with a very low detection limit of 0.032 μM. In addition, the reported fluorescence probe in this work displays a good selectivity for trace Cd 2+ over other metal ions and an admirable practicability in real water samples.

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+

Effective removal of heavy metal complexes from contaminated water remains a challenging task. In this work, a limestone/PMS system was constructed for the efficient degradation of Cu-EDTA. Under the conditions of 3.0 g/L limestone and 1.0 mM PMS, the degradation efficiency of 10.0 mg/L Cu-EDTA reached 99.0 % in 60 min, and the removal efficiency of Cu ions approached 50.0 %. The main active specie revealed by quenching and EPR experiments was the singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ). Interestingly, Trace amounts of Cu(II) in limestone react with PMS enhancing the degradation of Cu-EDTA. The results of the HPLC-MS analysis showed that the reactive species attacked the Cu–O and Cu–N bonds, as well as triggered a decarboxylation process, resulting in the decomposition of Cu-EDTA into six intermediates. Meanwhile, SEM and XPS analyses revealed that Cu ions released during the degradation of Cu-EDTA are deposited on the limestone surface as Cu(OH) 2 and Cu 2 (OH) 2 CO 3 . In addition, the initial pH and co-existing ions have a weak effect on the system. Finally, a one-month continuous flow experiment showed that the degradation efficiency of Cu-EDTA was about 95.0 % and the removal efficiency of Cu ions was 40.0 %. In conclusion, this study provides a new approach for the destruction of metal complexes and the removal of heavy metals.

Adsorption as a desalination approach has the advantages of energy efficiency, low cost, and operational convenience, but its practical application is limited by low desalination capacity, consumption/disposal of strong acids/bases as regeneration reagents, and poor reusability. Herein, we synthesized a thermo-regenerable salt absorbent by grafting ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) onto a metal–organic framework (MOF), MOF-808-EDTA, which could rapidly adsorb NaCl within 30 min from saline water at 25 °C with a desalination capacity as high as 9.4 mmol/g. Moreover, the saturated adsorbent could be facilely regenerated in 80 °C water. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and derivative thermogravimetry revealed that temperature-regulated proton transfer between amino and carboxyl groups was the mechanism of thermo-regeneration. EDTA on MOF-808-EDTA appears in a zwitterionic state in water at room temperature, which allowed simultaneous adsorption of Na+ and Cl–. At elevated temperature, it returned to a nonionic state accompanied by the desorption of ions. A similar temperature-dependent adsorption–regeneration process was also observed for other salts, including LiCl, KCl, CaCl2, and MgCl2. Column experiments of brackish groundwater showed that 1 g of MOF-808-EDTA could produce ∼106 mL of fresh water (total dissolved solids < 600 mg/L) without significant capacity loss after 10 successive adsorption–regeneration cycles. This study is the first to propose an EDTA-based MOF for desalination and indicates the potential of MOF-808-EDTA as a green adsorbent for sustainable water desalination.

The impact of the diffuse double-layer on the diffusion of radionuclide anions remains unclear, impeding the application of Archie's law for adsorptive anions. Through-diffusion experiments were carried out to measure the effective diffusion coefficient and distribution coefficient of Ce(III) in the presence of EDTA. A multi-porosity model, in combination with Archie's law, was used to estimate the effective diffusion coefficient. The predominant species, CeEDTA − , exhibited an effective diffusion coefficient of (0.88–1.92) × 10 −11 m 2 /s and the distribution coefficient of (0.81–1.18) × 10 −3 m 3 /kg at the compacted dry density of 1300–1800 kg/m 3 . The accessible porosity, the diffuse double-layer porosity, and the interlayer porosity were analyzed using the multi-porosity model, based on the characterization of bentonite via Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry, X-ray diffractometer , and Nitrogen-Brunner-Emmett-Teller method. Due to the low external surface area of Zhisin bentonite (27.7–35.3 m 2 /g), the impact of the diffuse double-layer was insignificant on the total and accessible porosities. Additionally, the diffuse double-layer porosity had insignificant impact on the effective diffusion coefficient of CeEDTA − in compacted bentonite, as its value was one order magnitude lower than that of the interlayer porosity and the accessible porosity.

EDTA-bonded multi-connected carbon-dots (EDTA–C-dots) were prepared from carbon dot precursors and complexed with Eu3+ to give Eu3+-coordinated EDTA-bonded multi-connected carbon dots (Eu–EDTA–C-dots). Whereas EDTA–C-dots were readily soluble in DMSO, Eu–EDTA–C-dots could not be easily dissolved in DMSO, water, or other common organic solvents. The newly prepared materials were thoroughly characterized. The X-ray diffraction results showed that no crystalline phase of Eu oxides (europium oxide or europium hydroxide) could be observed in Eu–EDTA–C-dots. The infrared and UV-Vis spectra showed that coordination with Eu3+ ions did not damage the structure of the EDTA–C-dots. It was found that EDTA could be easily grafted on the surface of carbon dots and EDTA had minimal influence on the photoluminescence of the carbon dot matrix. In contrast, the existence of Eu3+ ions strongly quenched the photoluminescence of Eu–EDTA–C-dots. The measured and fitted decay lifetime indicated that Eu–EDTA–C-dots possessed two photoluminescence decay processes, i.e., radiative recombination and non-radiative recombination.

In this paper, RuIII(edta) was used as a highly efficient absorbent for the removal of NO due to its desirable properties of high NO affinity and oxygen insensitivity. The effects of the RuIII(edta) concentration, reaction temperature, initial solution pH, oxygen concentration, inlet NO concentration, and liquid-to-gas ratio on denitration performance were examined. The results indicated that RuIII(edta) showed excellent denitration performance at low concentrations and that an increase in the concentration of RuIII(edta) resulted in an increase in NO removal efficiency. In addition, NO removal efficiency increased to its optimum value at first and then declined as both the reaction temperature and initial solution pH rose. The optimal reaction temperature and ideal initial solution pH were determined to be 45°C and 5.0 respectively. The suitable liquid-to-gas ratio was found to be 51.5 L/m3. NO removal efficiency was less affected by the oxygen concentration in the range of 0–12% due to a superior anti-oxidation performance at pH = 5.0. Furthermore, the NO removal efficiency decreased significantly as the inlet NO concentration increased. The addition of 5 wt% urea to an aqueous solution of RuIII(edta) enhanced denitration performance, and an RuIII(edta) and urea mixed solution were able to exceed 65.07% NO removal efficiency within 30 min under optimal experimental conditions. This work proposed an alternative absorbent for NO removal and provided fundamental data for industrial denitration with RuIII(edta) absorbents.

The mineralization of organic pollutant by O 3 is prone to be restricted by the accumulative production of oxalate (OA) that is recalcitrant to the attack of hydroxyl radical ( OH). Herein, it was interestingly found that the presence of 0.5 mM Ni(II) enhanced the mineralization efficiency of EDTA by O 3 under alkaline conditions by 22.8%, with the promoting effect of Ni(II) augmented as the increasing loading of Ni(II). Based on the results from scavenging experiment, chemical probe detection and XPS characterization, it was verified that except for the commonly recognized reactive oxidants (i.e., OH and O 3 ) in EDTA mineralization, the overlooked Ni(III) species (i.e., NiOOH) also played an indispensable role in enhancing the mineralization of EDTA. The Ni(III) species was formed via the oxidation of decomplexed Ni(II) by OH and in turn collaborated with OH to decompose EDTA. More importantly, the generated Ni(III) species exerted higher affinity towards OH and O 3 -resistent oxalate, hence elevating EDTA mineralization. This study elucidated the significant role of Ni(III) species in promoting the mineralization efficiency of EDTA, and also proposed a new insight into elevating the treatment performance of ozonation via the collaborative oxidation mechanism-co-mediated by OH and Ni(III) species.

Industrial waste, urban sewage and aquaculture have led to severely increased grades of environment pollutants such as dyes, pesticides and fertilizer. The use of technologies for purifying contaminated waters can be difficult and toxic due to the anti-photolysis, anti-oxidation and anti-bio-oxidation characteristics of organic pollutants, and there is therefore a significant need for new approaches. Here, we report methods of Fenton oxidation and EDTA-Fe(III) Fenton-like oxidation which can be used to degrade malachite green (MG: a dye and antibiotic-like substance) from contaminated water. Compared with the degradation rate (59.34%) of the Fe(III)/H 2 O 2 Fenton process, the EDTA-Fe(III) Fenton-like oxidation got a better degradation rate (92.7%) at neutral pH conditions . By conducting a series of parallel controlled experiments (changing parameters such as the reactant concentration , temperature, and pH), we report the relationships between the degradation effect and different parameters, and we fitted their pseudo first order kinetic curves. Furthermore, we repeated to adjustment of the concentrations of MG in solutions to test the cycle performance and catalytic activities of EDTA-Fe(III)/H 2 O 2 system and it showed good repeatability in the first five rounds and all of them keep the degradation efficiencies greater than 80%. By conducting comparative spin-trapping electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments, we showed indirectly that the OH contributes to the degradation of MG. Additionally, the results of the EPR experiments showed that EDTA contributes to the generation of OH in the EDTA-Fe(III)/H 2 O 2 Fenton-like system. By conducting total organic carbon (TOC) analysis experiments, we found that EDTA was also oxidized to some extent during the degradation of MG. In all, the findings of this work widen the range of the optimal pH values up to neutral condition for degradation of MG by use of EDTA-Fe(III) Fenton-like system. And this system could be used as one approach for the degradation of organic pollutants at neutral conditions and provide some initial information regarding EDTA-Fe(III) Fenton-like oxidations. It's significant for the expansion of the homogenous Fenton-like family and its application in the field of water treatment .

The simultaneous removal of heavy metal complexes (HMCs) and heavy metal ions presents a significant challenge in treating wastewater. To address this, we propose a Calcite/Peroxymonosulfate (Calcite/PMS) system aimed at simultaneously decomplexing Cu-EDTA and removing Cu ions . Calcite/PMS system could achieve 99.5 % Cu-EDTA decomplexation and 61.9 % Cu ions removal within 60 min under initial conditions of Cu-EDTA (10 mg/L), Calcite (3 g/L), and PMS (2 mM). Singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) emerged as the predominant reactive species responsible for Cu-EDTA decomplexation, which selectively targeted the N-C bonds in the Cu-EDTA structure to produce intermediates with lower biotoxicity than EDTA. Interestingly, solid phase Cu(III) (≡Cu(III)) promoted the generation of superoxide radicals (O 2 •− ) with a contribution of up to 72.8 %. Subsequently, nascent ≡Cu(III) and O 2 •− accelerated the degradation of intermediates. Besides, coexisting organic substances inhibited Cu-EDTA decomplexation, whereas inorganic ions had a weak impact. After five cycles of use, the Calcite/PMS system retained 99.3 % efficiency in decomplexing Cu-EDTA. This investigation provides valuable insights into using calcite to remove HMCs and enhances our comprehension of the decomplexation intermediates accelerating HMCs degradation.

Oriented designing the microenvironment of catalytic sites is essential for understanding catalytic processes. In this work, EDTA was first grafted in UiO-66 and then chelated Rh to obtain an efficient catalyst for 1-hexene hydroformylation reaction. EDTA not only served as a chelation site for Rh immobilization in UiO-66, but also markedly influenced the structure and properties of Rh/UiO-66. The incorporation of EDTA reduced the micropore content and suppressed the formation of heavy products. Moreover, the grafted EDTA regulated the electronic state of Rh effectively to improve the CO and propene adsorption, thus constructing an appropriate microenvironment for hydroformylation. Therefore, EDTA-modified Rh/U-E catalyst exhibited higher aldehydes yield, TOF and stability than Rh/U without EDTA. The dual role of EDTA in anchoring Rh sites and modulating the microenvironment for hydroformylation provides more prospects for designing customized MOFs-based catalysts.

Magnetic particles with active groups on their surfaces can be applied to wastewater purification to remove harmful ions, but the insufficient number of active groups on their surfaces tends to limit their removal rate of ions. Herein, we grafted different generations of dendritic macromolecular polyamidoamine (PAMAM) onto the magnetic chitosan microspheres (MCS) using ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) as core (MCEPs) for the removal of Cu (II). Firstly, 7 μm-sized MCS with good dispersibility was prepared by adjusting conditions such as glacial acetic acid content, emulsifier content and raw material ratio. Secondly, the effect of MCEPs generation, pH and contact time on the adsorption capacity were investigated. The adsorption experiments showed that the MCEPs had a high adsorption capacity, when the adsorbent was the second generation of MCEP (MCEP G2.0), the maximum adsorption capacity can up to 702.9 mg/g and the adsorption process can be completed in 60 min. Moreover, among various isotherms models, MCEP G2.0 was well-fitted by Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Also, adsorption kinetic studies proved that the adsorption mechanism of MCEP G2.0 adsorbent followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, demonstrating that the process was chemisorption. The adsorbent has renewability as well, after five adsorption cycles, its adsorption efficiency was still higher than 80%. Therefore, the adsorbent showed a superior adsorption capacity and renewability to remove Cu (II). Graphical
