Unlike traditional biomass composting humification, pyrolysis humification can rapidly convert waste biomass into humic substances (HSs) at lower temperatures and in an alkaline environment for soil remediation. This study utilized the strong alkaline solid waste carbide slag (CARBIDE) and cotton stalk (CS) for pyrolysis humification. The pyrolysis humification mechanism and effect of CARBIDE and CS were investigated using FT-IR, NMR, and Py-GC/MS. Furthermore, the ability of HSs to remediate cadmium-contaminated soil (Cd-soil) was assessed through soil property analysis, pot tests, and microbial diversity studies. The results showed that humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) had the highest yield of 19 % and 5 %, respectively, among the humic substances (HS-CS&CA) produced under the conditions of 250 ℃, reaction time of 2 h and mass ratio of CS to CARBIDE of 5: 1. At 250 ℃, CARBIDE changed the heat transfer mechanism of biomass, promoted the decomposition of more hemicellulose and protein, promoted the Deamination, Ketonization and Maillard reaction, and synthesized more HAs. HS-CS&CA had a significant remediation effect on Cd-soil. The immobilization rate of Cd was as high as 23 %, and the accumulation of Cd in maize was reduced by 65 %. At the same time, the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria such as Xanthomonadaceae and Bacillaceae for immobilizing Cd was increased, and the cycling effect of N and P was also enhanced. This study provides an innovative technical route for the rapid humification of CARBIDE and CS and its application in Cd-soil remediation.

Cadmium (Cd) pollution is a widespread environmental problem that decreases crop production, destroys the microbial ecology of soil, and poses a severe risk to human health. Organo-chemical amendment is a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and community-acceptable widely applied an in situ technique for metal-contaminated farmland. In this study, we mixed lime, zeolite, calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer, and biochar in a mixture ratio of 71:23:5:1 to form a mixed amendment. Field and laboratory experiments were conducted to study the effects of the mixed amendment on soil exchangeable Cd content, plant Cd accumulation, and soil microbial community . It was found that the application of 0.5% mixed amendment decreased exchangeable soil Cd by more than 85% and 64% in wheat and rice season, respectively, compared with control (CK), without increasing pH. Moreover, the application of 0.5% mixed amendment decreased Cd accumulation in grains by 22.9% and 41.2% in wheat and rice season, respectively, compared to CK. The result of phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) shows that the level of soil microbial diversity and species richness under mixed amendment treatments were higher than in lime treatment, indicating more copiotrophic conditions and faster rate of nutrient turnover in mixed amendment than pure lime treatment. Hence, it concluded that the mixed amendment has a strong effect on fixing exchangeable soil Cd and reducing the accumulation of Cd in crops. Finally, it was observed that the mixed amendment improved the soil microbial community structure and accelerate the rate of nutrient turnover by microbes under this favorable condition comparative to individual treatments.

Accurately predicting the accumulation and toxicity of metals in organisms is a challenging work in ecotoxicology . Here, we developed and validated a physiologically based toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic (PBTK-TD) model for adult zebrafish exposed to Cd and Pb. The model included the gill, liver, intestine, gonad, carcass, and brain, which were linked by blood circulation in the PBTK process and by dynamic relationships between the target organ concentrations and mortality in the TD process. Results showed that the PBTK sub-model can accurately describe and predict the uptake, distribution and disposition kinetics of Cd and Pb in zebrafish. The exchange rates and the accumulation of the metals in the organs were significantly different. For Cd, the highest exchange rate was between blood and liver, and the greatest accumulation of Cd occurred in the liver. For Pb, the greatest accumulation occurred in the gill. The TD sub-model further indicated that metal concentrations in the gill may effectively act as more suitable indicator of Cd and Pb toxic effect than whole body or other organs. The proposed PBTK-TD model is helpful to understanding the fundamental processes by which zebrafish regulate the uptake and disposition of metal and to quantitatively predicting metal toxicity.

A platform for the determination of Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II) has been proposed based on a novel diamond/graphite (D/G) nanoplatelets film electrode using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry method. The microstructure and the composition of the film were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The D/G nanoplatelets structure with two-dimensional diamond nanoplatelet as the stem and highly conducting graphite layers as shells exhibits large specific surface and great electrical conductivity, significantly enhancing the electron transport in the electrochemical reaction. Under the optimum conditions, wide linear ranges and high sensitivity were achieved. In the typical detection process, two linear working ranges were obtained due to the incomplete anodic removal and the limits of detection (LODs) were estimated to be 1.72 μg L −1 , 0.47 μg L −1 , 4.86 μg L −1 and 0.45 μg L −1 for Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II), respectively. The simultaneous detections also verify the superior analytical performance with linear ranges from 10 μg L −1 to 250 μg L −1 and low LODs. Herein, we present a novel diamond/graphite nanoplatelets electrode without any modification/functionalization for the sensitive detection of trace heavy metal ions .

At present, the large scale application of batch foam fractionation is still in confrontation with many problems and difficulties, especially for the enrichment of non-surface-active materials. It is difficult to select a suitable surfactant as the collector when a non-surface-active material can only form a stable association with the expensive surfactants or has not any interactions with the commercially available surfactants. The objective of this work was to investigate the feasibility of batch foam fractionation for recovering such a non-surface-active material, puerarin. Yam mucilage, an abundant byproduct from the manufacture of yam starch, was used to generate a stable foam phase based on its good foamability. According to the properties of puerarin and yam mucilage, β -cyclodextrin ( β -CD) was selected as a basic material to establish an association between them. The results of fluorescence sensitization experiments indicated that puerarin could form an equimolar inclusion complex with β -CD and the inclusion constant was 405.8. Subsequently, β -CD was modified by introducing carbon disulfide and copper (Cu) ion. Then, puerarin could be adsorbed on the gas-liquid interface in the form of ternary complex with modified β -CD-Cu ion complex and glycoprotein molecules (see Fig. 7). Batch foam fractionation was carried out by using the crude extracting solution as the initial feeding solution, in which the concentration of puerarin was as high as 4.6 g/L. Under the suitable conditions of temperature 50 °C, pH 6.0, loading volume of feed solution 400 mL, the pore diameter of gas distributor 0.450 mm, additive volume of yam mucilage 30 mL and volumetric air flow rate 100 mL/min, the enrichment ratio and the percent recovery of puerarin were 4.3 and 82.3%, respectively. This strategy could be generalized to the separation of various non-surface-active materials due to the low cost and the diversiform cavity dimension of cyclodextrins.

A facile strategy for highly efficient fabrication of chiral monolithic column was carried out by the simple “one-pot” hydroxymethyl polycondensation of native β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and urea-formaldehyde (UF). In-situ rapid substitution of native β-CD and efficient polycondensation of β-CD products and UF oligomers was proposed and fulfilled in one pot. The feasibility, mechanism and key parameters of polycondensation reaction were discussed. The data on crosslinking polycondensation and reaction kinetics were further evaluated. Characteristics including the morphologies, permeability and structure stability of the resultant monolithic columns were also studied. Under the optimal conditions, the “one-pot” hydroxymethyl polycondensation was accomplished in an aqueous solution within only 10 mins. Satisfactory stability and repeatability were gained, and good enantioseparation of eight model enantiomers was successfully achieved with the resultant β-CD-based monolith. It was simple and highly efficient, and the organic solvents, special CD derivatives and tediously long-time polymerization reaction were successfully avoided, which might light a new access to rapid preparation of CD-chiral monolith for high-performance enantioseparation.

Here, we report a simple one-step preparation of polyrutin/silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface using an electrochemical deposition/polymerization technique. As prepared polyrutin/AgNPs/GCE has been characterized by different techniques such as SEM with elemental morphing, TEM with EDAX , XRD , ATR-IR to confirm the materials formation. Further, electrochemical behavior of the polyrutin/AgNPs/GCE was tested by cyclic voltammetry , EIS and differential pulse voltammetric techniques. As fabricated polyrutin/AgNPs/GCE was used for simultaneous detection of Pb(II) and Cd(II)ions using anodic stripping voltammetric techniques and stripping analysis of Pb(II) and Cd(II)ions analytical parameters like pH, preconcentration time were studied. The polyrutin/AgNPs/GCE has showed a linear concentration range from 29 nM to 140 nM and 57–203 nM with detection limit of 3 nM and 10 nM for Pb(II) Cd(II)ions respectively. Further, the modified electrode was tested towards detection of these heavy metal ions in different environmental samples and the found excellent recovery results were further correlated with ICP-MS results.

Carbon matrix materials are regarded as one of the most important electrode materials for heavy metal detection. But even so, optimization procedures of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) for tracing Cd(II) and Pb(II) remains challenging. Here, zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8)/polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-derived nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanofibers (N-PCNFs) were investigated as a new electrode material for determining the concentration of Cd(II) and Pb(II). By optimizing electrochemical conditions such as deposition potential, deposition time, pH of buffer solution, and quantity of N-PCNFs loaded on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), the linear response curves of Cd(II) and Pb(II) could be obtained. Due to the unique structural feature and N content, the N-PCNFs possess excellent detection limits of 0.8 μg L−1 for Cd(II) and 0.3 μg L−1 for Pb(II) (S/N = 3). To manifest the practical use of the sensor platform the concentration of Cd(II) and Pb(II) in normal tap and waste water were monitored. According to the ICP-MS results, the calculated recovery (97.0–107%) indicates that N-PCNFs have potential as a candidate material to monitor the concentration of Cd(II) and Pb(II) in practical samples.

Abstract The modes of occurrence of trace elements in coal reveal essential information about environmental impact during coal exploitation and utilization. Utilizing improvements on a recently published sequential leaching protocol, this study investigated the modes of occurrence of Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Cd, and Pb (water-soluble, ion-exchangeable, carbonate-bound, sulfide-bound, organic-bound, and silicate-bound) in coal samples collected from the Nantong coalfield in southwestern China. Results suggest the improved method favorably affected the sequential leaching experiment. The ashing temperature did not exceed 390°C and did not damage the structure of the silicate minerals, facilitating the effective extraction of trace elements within the organic matter. The case study in the Nantong coalfield demonstrated that the water-soluble and ion-exchangeable fractions account for only a small portion of the six elements. Specifically, chromium exhibited affinities with carbonates and silicates. The percentages of different target fractions for cobalt varied significantly in different samples. Nickel was almost evenly distributed in the fractions of carbonates, sulfides, organic matter, and silicates. For cadmium, silicate was the main fraction, followed by sulfides. Lead predominantly appeared in carbonates and sulfides. The correlativity of different elements in the corresponding fractions revealed carbonates and sulfides as the primary carriers for all six elements, followed by silicates and organic matter. Overall, Cr, Co, Ni, and Cu exhibited very close relationships and similar distribution patterns in different coal samples. Organic-bound Cr, Co, and Ni were noticeable in the No. 4 and 6 coal seams, though they were not the dominant fractions. The affinity between Pb and Cd indicated they have similar modes of occurrence.

Chiroptical nanomaterials including chiralized advanced functional nanofibers have attracted ever-increasing interest in multi-disciplinary fields. Nowadays, electronic circular dichroism (CD) is the most widely used technique to evaluate chiral properties. Numerous studies have shown that the occurrence of linear dichroism and linear birefringence (LDLB) phenomenon in chiral micro-/nano-architectures makes it challenging to distinguish their inherent chiral information. However, tactfully combining LDLB with true circular dichroism (true CD) may lead to a new class of chiroptical materials. In this study, we demonstrate that transparent nanofibrous films infiltrated with poor solvents can show unique LDLB properties, which allows achiral nanofibrous films to exhibit these features regularly opposite Cotton signals by simply flipping the two faces of the same film or even rotating the testing angles of the sample around its optical axis in a single face. More importantly, we can quantitatively distinguish the contribution of LDLB from true CD in the chiral composite nanofibrous system and even effectively combine them into a single unity. This kind of adjustable flexible film material shows outstanding value in the field of optoelectronics. Its large intrinsic LDLB feature and angle-dependent, non-reciprocal transmission for polarized lights are exploited to fabricate programmable polarized light-emitting devices through the resin encapsulation process. This study may provide an easy and powerful way for the construction and implementation of novel polarization optical materials towards future intelligent optical encryption and advanced anti-counterfeiting devices.

Amino-functionalized Fe 3 O 4 @carbon microspheres (NH 2 −Fe 3 O 4 @C) were prepared and the electrochemical sensor was constructed using NH 2 −Fe 3 O 4 @C modified glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) to determine toxic heavy metals in aqueous solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to characterize the structure and phase of NH 2 −Fe 3 O 4 @C. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results indicate that NH 2 −Fe 3 O 4 @C modified GCE possesses large active area and excellent electron transfer. Under optimized electrochemical condition, Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II) were determined using NH 2 −Fe 3 O 4 @C modified GCE. The electrode through amino functionalization exhibits higher sensitivity and lower detection limit toward Cd(II) and Cu(II) due to the acid-base pairing interaction between the electron-rich −NH 2 ligand and the electron-deficient heavy metal ions. Compared with other similar results reported in the literature, the NH 2 −Fe 3 O 4 @C modified electrode exhibits wider linear response range while with comparable lower detection limit. It also exhibits excellent stability, reproducibility and anti-interference ability.

In this study, β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) functionalized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) was employed to augment the array of chiral recognition sites, thereby enhancing the affinity of GQDs/β-CD composite for imprinting molecules and realizing heightened chiral selectivity. The incorporation of GQDs/β-CD into the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), synergizing with the host-guest inclusion properties of β-CD and the abundant carboxyl groups of GQDs, enhanced the chiral recognition capacity of MIPs materials. Consequently, a novel MIPs/(GQDs/β-CD) sensor with chiral recognition capabilities tailored for D-carnitine was successfully fabricated. The binding mechanism between GQDs/β-CD and D-carnitine was elucidated via Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The variation in the response signal (ΔI) of the probe molecule exhibited a linear correlation with the logarithm of D-carnitine concentration (lgC) in the range of 1.0 × 10−12mol/L to 1.0 × 10−9mol/L, and the detection limit (3δ/S) was calculated as 2.35 × 10−13mol/L. These results underscore a 7.15-fold enhancement in the selectivity of MIPs/(GQDs/β-CD) sensor for D-carnitine recognition. Moreover, the sensor presented commendable efficacy in real-world scenarios, yielding recovery rates ranging from 98.5% to 103.0% during the determination of D-carnitine content in real samples.
