The aim of this study was to develop a novel ocular drug delivery system based on the hydroxypropyl beta cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) inclusion complex coated with the synthesized chitosan-N-acetyl- l -cysteine conjugate (CS-NAC) for the hydrophobic drug quercetin . The inclusion complex was prepared by the solvent evaporation method, and the concentration of HP-β-CD and CS-NAC was optimized by isolated corneal penetration test. The optimized concentration of HP-β-CD and CS-NAC was 20% (w/v) and 0.1% (w/v), respectively. The CS-NAC/quercetin-HP-β-CD had the effect on improving the ocular penetration with little ocular irritation and could increase the ocular distribution significantly. Meanwhile, Coumarin-6 (C6) labelled CS-NAC/C6-HP-β-CD possessed enhanced fluorescence and located deeper into the epithelium of cornea at the same time point compared with the uncoated one. It could also transport drug through the corneal epithelium by intracellular routes except for intercellular routes. Furthermore, it could delay the occurrence of cataract about 1 d when administrated with full-dosage quercetin. The HP-β-CD inclusion complex coated with CS-NAC is a safe and promising ocular drug delivery system for improving the bioavailability and corneal penetration of hydrophobic drug like quercetin.

The application of sorbent in solving the water pollution induced by heavy metals or metalloids is severely hindered by poor sorption performance and high cost, especially in simultaneous removal. Design and synthesis of nanocomposites as effective sorbents has been widely considered as a promising approach to address this problem. Herein, graphene oxide supported organo-montmorillonite composite (GO-OM) was prepared through a facile ultrasonic-assisted method for the first time and exhibited excellent synergetic adsorption behavior for mixed pollutants in aqueous solutions. Unlike previous studies, the simultaneous removal process can be well-described by the Freundlich and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The sorption capacities of GO-OM are very high for both metal cations and oxyanionic groups, showing excellent potential in the removal of multiple contaminants. Our study also reveals that GO-OM has high recycling efficiency and good performance under a low level concentration. All results suggest that GO-OM can be used as effective and ecofriendly sorbents for the removal of combined pollutants in an aqueous environment. This work contributes to developing high-performance graphene materials with organic minerals and gives deep insight into simultaneous sorption of metal ions, which can be potentially extended to other multiple pollutants.

For the bioremediation of mixed-contamination sites, studies on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degradation or Cd (II) tolerance in bacteria are commonly implemented in nutrient-rich media. In contrast, in the field, inocula usually encounter harsh oligotrophic habitats. In this study, the environmental strain Paraburkholderia fungorum JT-M8 was used to explore the overlooked Cd (II) defense mechanism during PAH dissipation under P-limited oligotrophic condition. The results showed that the growth and PAH degradation ability of JT-M8 under Cd (II) stress were correlated with phosphate contents and exhibited self-regulating properties. Phosphates mainly affected the Cd (II) content in solution, while the cellular distribution of Cd (II) depended on Cd (II) levels; Cd (II) was mainly located in the cytoplasm when exposed to less Cd (II), and vice versa. The unique Cd (II) detoxification pathways could be classified into three aspects: (i) Cd (II) ionic equilibrium and dose–response effects regulated by environmental matrices (phosphate contents); (ii) bacterial physiological self-regulation, e.g., cell surface-binding, protein secretion and active transport systems; and (iii) specific adaptive responses (flagellum aggregation). This study emphasizes the importance of considering culture conditions when assessing the metal tolerance and provides new insight into the bacterial detoxification process of complex PAH-Cd (II) pollutants.

The development of efficient adsorbents for heavy metal pollution, especially five toxic heavy metals, has attracted great research interest. Polymer-based adsorbents have aroused research value for their abundant functional groups and high porosity to the ability to capture metal ions. We designed a sulfhydryl-functionalized polymer microcomposite to take up Cr(VI), As(III), Cd(II), and Pb(II). The adsorption capacity achieved was 64.2 mg g–1 for Cr(VI), 44.9 mg g–1 for As(III), 35.5 mg g–1 for Cd(II), and 18.2 mg g–1 for Pb(II). Langmuir and Sips isotherm model is dominant for As(III), Cd(II), and Pb(II) adsorption. Pseudo-second-order kinetic models can better describe the adsorption behavior of Cr(VI), implying that chemisorption is accompanied by Cr(VI) adsorption. Cr(VI) simultaneous reduction to Cr(III) through the benzenoid amine oxidate pathway was the dominant mechanism, precipitation for Cd(II) adsorption was convinced, and chelation between As(III)/Pb(II) and─SH group and complexation between Pb(II) and C═O or benzene hydroxyl were a plausible mechanism for As(III) and Pb(II) adsorption.

The mechanism from the molecular level and the selectivity for the removal of metal ions from aqueous has become a hotspot in current water treatment . In this study, a sulphydryl-modified hollow polymer adsorbent was designed with intrinsic amine and grafted sulphydryl groups for efficient uptake of Cr(VI), As(III), Cd(II), and Pb(II) by taking advantage of their properties of abundant functional groups, discrete hollow chambers, and high porosity. Interestingly, the benzenoid amine/quinoid imine functional groups have a stronger affinity for Cr(VI) than Cd(II) or As(III) and Pb(II). The formation of approximately 65.7% Cr(III) indicates the redox reaction from Cr(VI) to Cr(III). The electron-donating comes from benzenoid amine and oxidized to quinoid imine or protonated oxidized nitrogen units (-N = + ) with Cr(VI) reduced to Cr(III) for the increase of more than double of quinoid imine and a new functional group of -N = + . Ion exchange between –COO - groups and As(III)/Cd(II), the chelation of –SH groups for Pb(II)/As(III) are plausible mechanisms.

A novel composite fluorescence probe (oPD-CDs@UiO-66-NH2) was successfully prepared for NO detection in the aqueous phase, where carbon quantum dots (oPD-CDs) with NO recognition units were doped in a hydrothermally stable metal–organic framework material (UiO-66-NH2). oPD-CDs and UiO-66-NH2 combined by electrostatic adsorption, and oPD-CDs were uniformly distributed within the pore channel of UiO-66-NH2. This not only suppressed the aggregate induced fluorescence quenching occurring in carbon quantum dots, but also facilitated the efficient detection of NO. The prepared novel fluorescence probes were more sensitive to NO detection than pure oPD-CDs. NO can be detected in a wide linear concentration range of 6.25–500 μM with a lower limit of detection of 4.27 μM. The probes had high selectivity for NO analogs as well as other common substances. This was mainly attributed to the modification of UiO-66-NH2 by oPD-CDs, which can improve the efficient and selective adsorption of NO.

The removal of Cd from irrigation water and the remediation of Cd-contaminated soil remain significant challenges. Herein, we developed necklace-like core-shell structured mesoporous silica-coated nanoscale zero-valent iron (NL-NZVI@mHs) to efficiently remediate Cd-contaminated water and soil. The obtained materials had a large specific surface area and a higher adsorption capacity of 41.38 mg/g on Cd(II) [this was 5.7 times for nano-zero-valent iron (NZVI) alone]. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrated that ligand exchange, surface complexation, and electrostatic adsorption were the main mechanisms of Cd(II) adsorption. In addition, NL-NZVI@mHs exhibited good performance in the removal of Cd(II) from practical irrigation water samples. The nanochain mesoporous term chain of zero-valent iron exhibits long-term stability, indicating that it can be used multiple times (reduce waste volume). Furthermore, the addition of the obtained NL-NZVI@mHs composites decreased the bioavailability of Cd in the soil and significantly reduced the Cd content in rice seedlings. The results of this study provide a promising strategy for the remediation of Cd-polluted water and soil that may have large-scale applications in the future. Graphical abstract

Choline chloride, acrylamide (AM) and acrylic acid (AA) were used as raw materials to prepare deep eutectic solvent, and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was used as filler to prepare β-CD/P(AM- co -AA) composite hydrogel by frontal polymerization. The composite hydrogel was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The pH response, mechanical properties and self-healing of the hydrogel were studied. The results show that AA contains easily ionized –COOH, which makes the composite hydrogel have excellent pH response and super-high swelling ratio under alkaline conditions. With the addition of β-CD, due to the increase of hydrogen bonds and the combination of β-CD and polymer chains the mechanical properties of the hydrogel are obviously improved and the tensile strength and compressive strength are increased by 4.12 and 2.26 times respectively. The introduction of β-CD can improve the self-healing performance of the composite hydrogel. With the increase of β-CD content, the healing rate and healing speed of the composite hydrogel show an upward trend. In this study, a simpler and faster method is proposed to prepare self-healing composite hydrogel with excellent mechanical properties and pH responsiveness. The self-healing property and the existence of a hydrophobic cavity of β-CD make β-CD/P(AM- co -AA) composite hydrogel have potential application in wound healing. © 2023 Society of Industrial Chemistry.

Heavy metal pollution is an abiotic factor that can affect the efficiency of pest control. In this study, two microbial pesticides , Bacillus thuringiensis and Mamestra brassicae nuclear polyhedrosis virus (MbNPV), were used to treat Hyphantria cunea larvae with Cd pre-exposure, and the humoral and cellular immunity of H. cunea larvae with Cd exposure were evaluated. The results showed that Cd exposure increased the susceptibility of H. cunea larvae to microbial pesticides B. thuringiensis and MbNPV, and the lethal effect of Cd exposure and microbial pesticides on H. cunea larvae was synergistic. Cd exposure significantly decreased the expression of pathogen recognition genes (GNBP1 and GNBP3), signal transduction genes (Relish, Myd88, Tube, and Imd), and antimicrobial peptide gene (Lebocin) in the humoral immunity of H. cunea larvae compared with the untreated larvae. Parameters of cellular immunity, including the number of hemocytes , phagocytic activity , melanization activity, encapsulation activity, and the expression of three phagocytic regulatory genes (HEM1, GALE1, GALE2), were also found to decrease significantly in Cd-treated larvae. TOPSIS analysis showed that humoral immunity, cellular immunity, and total immunity levels of H. cunea larvae with Cd exposure were weaker than those in untreated larvae. Correlation analysis showed that the mortality of two microbial pesticides investigated in H. cunea larvae was negatively correlated with the humoral and cellular immunity of larvae. Taken togther, Cd exposure results in immunotoxic effects on H. cunea larvae and the use of microbial pesticides are an effective strategy for pest control in heavy metal-polluted areas.

Herein, a three-dimensional porous nanomaterials AuNPs-decorated polyaniline nanowire arrays/carbon nanotube (Au-PANI-array@CNT) was constructed by modified dilute polymerization and redox reaction. The Au-PANI-array@CNT exhibited a larger specific surface area (50.03 m 2 g −1 ) and abundant mesopores (average pore size: 19.6 nm), due to the vertical growth of PANI nanowire arrays on CNT. The Au-PANI-array@CNT composite with a three-dimensional interconnected porous structure exhibited abundant electroactive sites and high adsorption capacity, significantly enhancing the deposition and electrochemical reaction process of heavy metals. The AuNPs embedded on PANI nanowries can provide high catalytic activity and multidimensional electron transport channels, further improving the detection sensitivity. A sensing platform with ultra-high sensitivity (2091, 3890 μA μM −1 cm −2 ) and lower limit of detection (0.18, 0.15 nM) for Cd(II) and Pb(II) determination was developed based on the three-dimensional porous PANI composite. Furthermore, the sensing mechanism of Au-PANI-array@CNT with Cd(II) was explored by XPS and FTIR spectroscopy . The current response only decreased by 5% after being stored at room temperature for 2 months, indicating that the sensor has high reproducibility and stability. Finally, the analysis of drinking water samples verified the excellent practicability of the sensor for the simultaneous measurement of trace levels (nM) of Cd(II) and Pb(II).

Heavy metal ions in water, cosmetics, and arable land have become a world-wide issue as they cause a variety of diseases and even death to humans and animals when a certain level is exceeded. Therefore, it is necessary to development a new kind of sensor material for the determination of heavy metal ions. In this paper, we present an electrochemical sensor based on composite material (thiol(–SH) grafted poly(3,4-proplenedioxythiophene) (PProDOT(MeSH)2)/ porous silicon spheres (Si) composite, denoted as PProDOT(MeSH)2@Si) from the incorporation of thiol(–SH) grafted poly(3,4-proplenedioxythiophene) (PProDOT(MeSH)2) with porous silicon spheres (Si) for the electrochemical detection of heavy metal ions (Cd(II), Pb(II), and Hg(II)). The PProDOT(MeSH)2@Si composite was synthesized via a chemical oxidative polymerization method. The structure and morphology of PProDOT(MeSH)2@Si composite were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), and Brunauer−Emmett−Teller (BET). Furthermore, the electrochemical performance of PProDOT(MeSH)2@Si was evaluated by detecting of Cd(II), Pb(II), and Hg(II) ions using the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) method. The relationship between structural properties and the electrochemical performance was systematically studied. The results showed that the entry of two thiol-based chains to the monomer unit resulted in an increase in electrochemical sensitivity in PProDOT(MeSH)2,which was related to the interaction between thiol group(-SH) and heavy metal ions. And, the combination of PProDOT(MeSH)2with Si could improve the electrocatalytic efficiency of the electrode material. The PProDOT(MeSH)2@Si/GCE exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity in the rage of 0.04 to 2.8, 0.024 to 2.8, and 0.16 to 3.2 μM with the detection limit of 0.00575, 0.0027, and 0.0017 µM toward Cd(II), Pb(II), and Hg(II), respectively. The interference studies demonstrated that the PProDOT(MeSH)2@Si/GCE possessed a low mutual interference and high selectivity for simultaneous detection of Cd(II), Pb(II), and Hg(II) ions.Keywords:thiol(–SH), poly(3,4-proplenedioxythiophene), porous silicon spheres;electrochemical sensor;heavy metal ions;simultaneous detection

The transport of Pb(II) or Cd(II) in subsurface has been studied in the literature; however; their co-transport in porous media in presence of colloids has not been clearly understood. In this work, a series of column experiments were conducted to study Pb(II) and Cd(II) co-transport in saturated porous media under various experimental conditions with different combination of colloidal solution (montmorillonite colloid, manual loessial soil colloid and humic acid), flow rate (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 ml min−1) and sand grain size (0.4–0.8mm and 0.8–2.0mm). The results showed that increase of flow rate and grain size promoted the mobility of Pb(II) and Cd(II), furthermore, the presences of mobile colloids also enhanced the mobility of the two heavy metals, meanwhile, Cd(II) showed higher mobility than Pb(II) in the columns. Findings from this work enhanced current understanding of the competitive transport and colloid-facilitated transport of heavy metals in saturated porous media.
