Biosorbents have been extensively studied for heavy metal adsorption due to their advantages of low cost and high efficiency. In the study, the living and non-living biomass of Cupriavidus necator GX_5 previously isolated were evaluated for their adsorption capacity and/or removal efficiency for Cd (II) through batch experiments, SEM and FT-IR investigations. The maximum removal efficiency rates for the live and dead biomass were 60.51% and 78.53%, respectively, at an optimum pH of 6, a dosage of 1 g/L and an initial Cd (II) concentration of 5 mg/L. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model was more suitable for fitting the experimental data, indicating that the rate-limiting step might be chemisorption. The Freundlich isotherm model fit better than the Langmuir isotherm model, implying that the adsorption process of both biosorbents was heterogeneous. FT-IR observation reflected that various functional groups were involved in Cd (II) adsorption: –OH, –NH, C=O, C–O and C–C groups for the living biomass and –OH, –NH, C–H, C = O, C–N and N–H groups for the dead biomass. Our results imply that non-living biosorbents have a higher capacity and stronger strength for absorbing Cd (II) than living biomass. Therefore, we suggest that dead GX_5 is a promising adsorbent and can be used in Cd (II)-contaminated environments.

Polypyrrole-sepiolite ( PPy/SPL ) nanofibers were prepared by in situ chemical oxidation polymerization in the presence of sepiolite. A PPy/SPL composite modified glassy carbon electrode ( PPy/SPL/GCE ) was prepared and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and electrochemical methods. Differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry for the simultaneous determination of trace Pb(II) and Cd(II) was carried out at the PPy/SPL/GCE. Operational parameters such as the deposition potential and time, the amount of modified suspension, and the pH values were optimized for the purpose of determination of trace metal ions in 0.10 M acetate buffer solution. Under the optimal conditions, the stripping peak currents showed good linear relationships with Pb(II) and Cd(II) at concentration ranges of 5.0 × 10 –9 ‒1.2 × 10 –6 M and 5.0 × 10 –9 ‒1.2 × 10 –7 M, and the detection limits were 1.2 and 1.5 nM, respectively. The proposed method is applicable to the simultaneous determination of trace Pb(II) and Cd(II) in real water samples with the relative standard deviations of less than 4.4% and the recovery rates of 97.9‒102.2%.

An electrochemical sensor based on PEDOT:PSS-β-CD-SWCNT-COOH/GCE for highly sensitive analysis of shikonin (SHI) in PBS buffer solution was reported. PEDOT:PSS-β-CD-SWCNT-COOH composite was obtained by using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) and carboxylated single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT-COOH) to modify glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and characterized by scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopies. In optimized conditions, PEDOT:PSS-β-CD-SWCNT-COOH had a high sensitivity to SHI and it could detect SHI in linear ranges 6 nM to 30 μM with a low detection limit of 1.8 nM. And a series of experiments showed that the modified electrode exhibited good repeatability, reproducibility, and selectivity to electrochemical determination of SHI.

Chemical substitution is an effective route to manipulate the magnetic exchange couplings and modify the magnetic properties. However, replacement between ${\mathrm{Cd}}^{2+}$ and ${\mathrm{Hg}}^{2+}$ cations, both belonging to IIB group in the periodic table but having quite close ionic radii, is rarely studied. In this work, the chemical-pressure effect in $A{\mathrm{Co}}_{2}({\mathrm{Te}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{8})({\mathrm{SO}}_{4})\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}(A=\mathrm{Hg},\mathrm{Cd})$ is reported, which is an $S=1/2$ structural screw-chain antiferromagnetic series with two unique Co positions. Magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, and high-field magnetization measurements on both polycrystal samples suggest that Hg compound experiences two successive antiferromagnetic transitions at ${T}_{\mathrm{N}1}=25.5\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ and ${T}_{\mathrm{N}2}=21.5\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ in zero field, and multiple field-induced transitions at ${B}_{1}=10.5\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{T}, {B}_{2}=13\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{T}$, and ${B}_{3}=19.5\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{T}$ at 1.6 K. By contrast, a single magnetic transition takes place at ${T}_{\mathrm{N}}=20$ K and ${B}_{\mathrm{c}}=10.7\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{T}$ in Cd compound. Different twists of ${\mathrm{CoO}}_{6}$ octahedra are discussed to be responsible for the distinct magnetic behaviors. To further understand the influence of the chemical pressure, additional anisotropic characterizations are performed on Hg single crystal and subsequently the magnetic field $\mathrm{versus}$ temperature phase diagrams are established. Large magnetic anisotropy is observed with the moments lying within the $bc$ plane. Besides, a possible field-induced order-disorder transition is uncovered under the application of a magnetic field along the $b$ axis. The opposite features of the anisotropic magnetic susceptibility in Hg compound might demonstrate separate antiferromagnetic orders of the two Co sublattices, the discrepancy of which is reduced due to the weakened twist of ${\mathrm{CoO}}_{6}$ octahedra in Cd compound, leading to a simultaneous occurrence of these transitions instead.

The paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of biochar prepared from the co-pyrolysis of rice husk and cow bone (RHCBC) for in situ remediation and amelioration of Cd-contaminated soil. Effects of RHCBC on Cd bioavailability in soil and Cd uptake in corn growth were investigated through cultivation experiments and pot experiments. The results showed that the addition of RHCBC in the Cd-contaminated soil achieved the increase of soil pH, CEC, and SOM, whereas the soil available Cd content was reduced by 29.08–51.06%, which was proved by the transformation of Cd from acid soluble and exchangeable state to residual state. Furthermore, the nutrient contents of soil were also increased by 82.41–230.09% for alkali-hydrolyzable N, 66.81–144.03% for available P, and 16.20–77.70% for available K, respectively, which promoted the growth of corn. Overall, it is a promising strategy to employ RHCBC for in situ remediation of Cd-contaminated soil and promotion of plant growth as efficient soil amendment.

MgO-modified biochar (MgO-BC) has demonstrated enormous potential for practical application of Cd(Ⅱ) removal from wastewater. Exceptionally numerous MgO adsorption sites and enhanced porosity of MgO-BC are both critical for efficiency Cd(Ⅱ) removal. However, the pursuit of high-content of MgO while maintaining unobstructed pore structure remains a challenge due to the blockage of BC pores by the MgO particles. Herein, we demonstrated that Mg(NO 3 ) 2 can synergistically enhance the porosity and MgO active site of biochar attributing to the oxidation of nitrate. The prepared MgO-BC exhibits highly porous framework structure. Remarkably, further adsorption results indicate the MgO-BC has outstanding adsorption capacity of Cd(Ⅱ) in solution. The immobilized contaminant Cd(Ⅱ) onto MgO-BC was predominantly attributable to the chemical and physical interaction, including ion exchange, cation-π interaction, surface complexation and electrostatic interaction. This strategy demonstrates a novel route to develop efficient adsorbents by tailoring structure and metal oxide via nitrate activation.

With rising global concerns about the discharge of large volumes of waste materials derived from industrial manufacture and human life, methods for utilizing waste materials have been greatly developed. In this study, an ingenious hydroxyapatite (Hap) functionalized hierarchical porous biochar (HB) composite is fabricated using a filtrate rich in Ca 2+ ions after steel slag reuse and spent Hami melon peel as raw materials. Microstructural analyses indicate that Hap nanoparticles are loaded on HB with hierarchical pores produced from a pyrolysis process of Hami melon peel. A series of HB-Hap materials by tuning HB addition amount (0.5, 1, and 2 g) can be obtained through a coprecipitation process. As a case study, HB-0.5Hap exhibits high specific surface area of 66.92 m 2 /g and high-efficiency removal performance for Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions in wastewater. The maximum adsorption capacities of HB-0.5Hap are 134.4 (Pb(II)) and 60.4 (Cd(II)) mg/g, which are 1.77 and 1.23 times higher than that of pure HB, respectively. It is attributed to a synergistic mechanism involving ion exchange, chemical precipitation , surface complexation, and cation-π interaction. According to a semi-quantitative calculation, ion exchange plays a major role in the removal of Pb(II) (78.61%, the relative contribution of ion exchange mechanism) and Cd(II) (77.77%). This study demonstrates a facile, economical, and sustainable strategy for the value-added utilization of steel slag and spent Hami melon peel, which can be critical in solving environmental problems.

The establishment of a simple and effective method for determination of heavy metal ions has great significance due to the high hazard of heavy metal ions to public health and environments. Herein, we developed a facile way to synthesise a nanocomposite comprised of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and explored its application in constructing an electrochemical (EC) sensor for detection of Cd2+ in aqueous solutions. The sensing surface was simply fabricated by casting a drop of CNTs-MOFs nanocomposite onto the electrode. After drying at room temperature, the modified electrode was immersed in a Cd2+-containing acetate buffer solution to accomplish the EC measurement. The morphology of materials was characterised by SEM. The EC characterisations validated the good conductivity and excellent Cd2+-responsive property of CNTs-MOFs. As expected, the analytical performance for Cd2+ determination was satisfactory with a wide linear detection range of 0.3 μM-150 μM, a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.2 μM and good selectivity. Detection of Cd2+ in real samples was also realised. Moreover, if under other potentials, even the analysis of other heavy metal ions such as Pb2+ and Cu2+ can be achieved with our sensing platform. This work provided a versatile way for detecting heavy metal ions in complicated samples.

Wetting-drying cycles in the environment could change the inner- or outer-sphere complexation of heavy metal cations on natural organic matter (NOM) and then influence ternary interactions with organic contaminants - a rarely-discussed essential geochemical process. In this work, the sorption of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) on humic acids (HAs) mediated by cations (Cu 2+ and Cd 2+ ) was investigated. Considering that outer-sphere complexation could be transformed into inner-sphere complexation during vacuum freeze-drying, the role of inner- or outer-sphere complexation on SMX sorption was explored. The experimental sorption results and density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that Cu 2+ and Cd 2+ sorption on HAs was mainly outer- and inner-sphere complexation, respectively. Cd 2+ consistently promoted SMX sorption on HAs, while Cu 2+ promoted and inhibited SMX sorption before and after freeze-drying. The structure of HA-Cu complexes with inner-sphere complexation was more compact than those with outer-sphere complexation, which reduced the accessibility of sorption sites for SMX on HA-Cu and inhibited SMX sorption. However, the greater number of coordination sites of Cd 2+ may provide more sorption sites and the structure of HA-Cd was looser. These findings provide a groundbreaking understanding of the sorption of organics on natural adsorbents in the presence of cations.

Rakicidin B1 was isolated and purified from the culture broth of a marineStreptomycessp. as a potent anti-cancer agent, and lately the compound and its derivatives have firstly been found to possess anti-Clostridium difficile(CD) activity but with high cytotoxicity. Herein, following our previous discovery on anti-CD activity of Rakicidin B1, structure modification was performed at the OH position of Rakicidin B1 and a new Rakicidin B1-PEG hybrids FIMP2 was facilely designed and synthesized by conjugating the PEG2000 with the scaffolds of Rakicidin B1 via the linkage of carbamate. The cytotoxicity of the FIMP2 was first evaluated against three different cancer cell lines, including HCT-8 cells, PANC-1, and Caco-2, with IC50values at 0.519 μM, 0.815 μM, and 0.586 μM, respectively. Obviously, as compared with a positive control group treated with Rakicidin B1, the IC50value of FIMP2 increased by nearly 91-fold, 50-fold, and 67-fold, suggesting that the PEGylation strategy significantly reduced the cytotoxicity of FIMP2. Thus, this preliminary result may be beneficial to increase its safety index (SI) value due to the decreased cytotoxicity of FIMP2. In addition, this decreased cytotoxicity of FIMP2 was further confirmed based on a zebrafish screening model in vivo. Thereafter, the anti-CD activity of FIMP2 was evaluated in vivo, and its efficacy to treat CDI was found to be better than that of vancomycin. The mortality and recurrence rate of FIMP2 is not as low compared with that of vancomycin; these results demonstrated that compound FIMP2 is a new, promising anti-CD agent with significant efficacy against CD recurrence with low cytotoxicity towards bodies.Keywords:Rakicidin B1;PEGylation strategy;anti-Clostridium difficile;low cytotoxicity

In this study, composite nanoparticles consisting of zein and hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin were prepared using a combined antisolvent co-precipitation/electrostatic interaction method. The effects of calcium ion concentration on the stability of the composite nanoparticles containing both curcumin and quercetin were investigated. Moreover, the stability and bioactivity of the quercetin and curcumin were characterized before and after encapsulation. Fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions were the main driving forces for the formation of the composite nanoparticles. The addition of calcium ions promoted crosslinking of the proteins and affected the stability of the protein–cyclodextrin composite particles through electrostatic screening and binding effects. The addition of calcium ions to the composite particles improved the encapsulation efficiency, antioxidant activity, and stability of the curcumin and quercetin. However, there was an optimum calcium ion concentration (2.0 mM) that provided the best encapsulation and protective effects on the nutraceuticals. The calcium crosslinked composite particles were shown to maintain good stability under different pH and simulated gastrointestinal digestion conditions. These results suggest that zein–cyclodextrin composite nanoparticles may be useful plant-based colloidal delivery systems for hydrophobic bio-active agents.

Exploring the relationships between heavy metal release and salinity can help address the problems of combination of toxic heavy metals and salinization in contaminated soils. Therefore, in this study, the release characteristics of heavy metals (Cd, Cu and Zn) under different salt types and mass concentrations were investigated through batch desorption experiments. Spearman's correlation analysis was performed to assess the effects of typical physicochemical properties on metal release under salt stress. The results indicated that the types and concentration gradients of salt had notably different impacts on the release of different metals; specifically, there were significant impacts for Cd but slight impacts for Cu and Zn. MgCl 2 and CaCl 2 had more obvious promoting effects on Cd release, followed by a salt mixture and NaCl, and this pattern was similar for Zn release. Most salts could slightly restrain the release of Cu, except for MgCl 2 and Na 2 SO 4 , which had slight promoting effects. Moreover, low levels of CaCl 2 could effectively restrain the release of Cu. The results showed that the release capacities of metals followed the order of Cd > Cu > Zn, possibly attributed to the competitive adsorption among cations. Ferromanganese oxides in the soil favored the release of Cd and Zn under salt treatments, and redox potential was an important factor affecting Cu release. The results also suggested that the background values of metals could affect metal release, but the effects were varied under different salt treatments for Zn. The reason for this may be that the addition of different salts changed the effects of certain soil properties on the metal release. Overall, this study can serve as an important reference for controlling heavy metal pollution in soils in salinization and coastal areas.
