Carbonaceous shell-coated γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles (γ-Fe 2 O 3 @CNM) were synthesized from glucose caramelization and used as a novel magnetic solid-phase extraction medium for malachite green and crystal violet in environmental water. Malachite green and crystal violet were absorbed on to γ-Fe 2 O 3 @CNM by electrostatic and π-interactions. The morphologies, pore structures, surface functional groups, and magnetic properties of γ-Fe 2 O 3 @CNM were characterized by TEM, FTIR, hysteresis regression, Brunauer-Emmet-Teller analysis, zeta potential, XPS, and XRD. The magnetic solid-phase extraction procedure was optimized by extraction pH, absorption time, desorption solvent, and desorption time. The absorption capacities (q max values) for malachite green and crystal violet were 34.2 and 27.9 mg g −1 , respectively. After magnetic solid-phase extraction, malachite green and crystal violet were determined by LC-MS/MS. The analytical method was validated with a linear range of 0.02–20 ng mL −1 , enrichment factor of 25.8 and 25.4, method detection limit of 0.004 ng mL −1 , and intra-day precisions of 2.1% and 2.6% for malachite green and crystal violet, respectively. The relative recovery was found to be 73.4–101.5% for malachite green and 83.1–102.7% for crystal violet upon the application of the magnetic solid-phase extraction method to real water samples from lake, spring, sea, fishpond, and industrial waste.
Caramelized-carbon-coated magnetic nanoparticles are used as novel extraction medium based on electrostatic and π-interactions. It is porous, amphiphilic, electronegative, magnetically strong, and features abundant absorption site. These characteristics stimulate mass transfer and result in a useful MSPE method in environmental analysis.

The quality of dairy farming wastewater in different regions is particular and different. In Southern China, the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD Cr ) and colourity of effluent from conventional dairy farming wastewater treatment processes are similar. Catalytic ozonation is a very promising technical method. In this paper, the Mn-Fe-Ce/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst was prepared via the optimized preparation method of impregnation roasting using γ-Al 2 O 3 as the carrier, and this catalyst was used in the ozonation of actual dairy farming wastewater from treatment facilities. The performance of the Mn-Fe-Ce/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst on dairy farming wastewater was investigated using a simulated dynamic test. The effects of the reaction time, pH and catalyst dosage on COD Cr and the colourity removal ratio were investigated. The results show that the optimum treatment conditions were a reaction time of 20 min, pH 9, and catalyst dosage of 15 g/L. The COD Cr removal ratio reached 48.9% and the colourity was 95% under the optimum conditions. BOD 5 /COD Cr increased from 0.21 to 0.54 after catalytic ozonation, indicating that the biodegradability of wastewater was significantly improved. This research provides a new method and theoretical guidance for dairy farming wastewater treatment.

Pt–Sn–Ce/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalysts were synthesized by the impregnation method and used to produce aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs)-rich bio-oil via catalytic fast pyrolysis of cellulose . The upgraded products were on-line analyzed by pyrolysis-comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC × GC/MS). It was found that Pt–Sn–Ce/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalysts were effective for improving the relative content of AHs in bio-oil. Especially, Pt–Sn–Ce/γ-Al 2 O 3 contributed the highest AHs content (85.82%), which was 3 times than that of γ-Al 2 O 3 , and increased 85.44% compared with non-catalytic. In addition, Pt–Sn–Ce/γ-Al 2 O 3 and Pt–Sn/γ-Al 2 O 3 can generate the highest monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (MAHs) with the relative content of 60.24% and 51.92%, respectively. Pt–Sn–Ce/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst can be reused five times with stable catalytic activity to produce AHs-rich bio-oil.

Titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) with a distinctive structure, abundant surface chemical groups, and good electrical conductivity has shown great potential in fabricating superior gas sensors, but several challenges, such as low response kinetics, poor reversibility, and serious baseline drift, still remain. In this work, γ-poly(l-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) with a blocking effect is exploited to modify Ti3C2Tx, thereby stimulating the positive response behavior of Ti3C2Tx and improving its gas sensing performance. On account of the unique synergetic interaction between Ti3C2Tx and γ-PGA, the response of the flexible Ti3C2Tx/γ-PGA gas sensor to 50 ppm NO2has been improved to a large extent (average 1127.3%), which is 85 times that of Ti3C2Tx (only 13.2%). Moreover, the as-fabricated Ti3C2Tx/γ-PGA sensor not only exhibits a shorter response/recovery time (average 43.4/3 s) compared with the Ti3C2Tx-based sensor (∼18.5/18.3 min) but also shows good reversibility and repeatability (relative standard deviation (RSD) <1%) at room temperature within 50% relative humidity (RH). The improved gas sensing properties of the Ti3C2Tx/γ-PGA sensor can be attributed to the enhancement of effective adsorption and the blocking effect assisted by water molecules. Furthermore, the gas sensing response of the Ti3C2Tx/γ-PGA sensor is studied at different RHs, and humidity compensation of the sensor is carried out using the multiple regression method. This work demonstrates a novel strategy to enhance the gas sensing properties of Ti3C2Tx by γ-PGA modification and provides a new way to realize highly responsive gas detection at room temperature.

KPV (Lys–Pro–Val), which is a tripeptide derived from α-MSH (α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone), has an anti-inflammatory effect on colitis. However, KPV solution is very unstable when rectally administered, compromising its therapeutic efficacy. Herein, cysteamine-grafted γ-polyglutamic acid (SH-PGA) was synthesized by conjugating cysteamine with the carboxyl groups of γ-PGA. The synthesized SH-PGA has the thiol grafting amount of 4.5 ± 0.3 mmol/g. Without the use of the cross-linker, the SH-PGA hydrogel with 4% of the polymer was formed by self-cross-linking of thiol groups. Moreover, the formation of the SH-PGA hydrogel was not affected by KPV. The KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel presented higher elastic modulus (G′) than the corresponding viscous modulus (G″) at 0.01–10 Hz, exhibiting good mechanical stability. The KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel presented a shear-thinning behavior, which was helpful for rectal administration. Only 30% of KPV was released from the KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel within 20 min, followed by a sustained-release behavior. Importantly, the stability of KPV in the SH-PGA hydrogel was obviously enhanced, which was presented by detecting its anti-inflammatory activity and promoting cell migration potential after 2 h of exposure to 37 °C. The enhanced therapeutic effect of the KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel on colitis was confirmed on 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced ulcerative colitis rats. The colitis symptoms including body weight loss and the disease activity index score were obviously attenuated by rectally administering the KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel. Besides, the KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel treatment prevented the colon shortening of TNBS-infused rats and decreased the colonic myeloperoxidase level. The morphology of the colon including the epithelial barrier, crypt, and intact goblet cells was recovered after KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel treatment. Besides, the KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel decreased the expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 6. Collectively, the KPV/SH-PGA hydrogel may provide a promising strategy for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

Herein, we reported in situ synthesis of biomass-derived Ni/C catalyst by self-reduction with pomelo peel. Compared with the conventional method, which includes carbonization , activation, impregnation and reduction, the entire preparation process was simplified to two steps, which was more straightforward. This synthesis method was green as Ni/C can be prepared without any additional chemical and the self-reduction process was realized in N 2 , which can avoid using H 2 thus averting some problems such as storage, transportation and safety of H 2 . Meanwhile, the size and dispersion of Ni particles can be controlled by changing carbonization temperature. The synthesis mechanism of Ni/C catalyst with self-reduction was investigated, which was mainly attributed to the carbon and reducing gas produced during the carbonization process. For the catalytic performance of GVL synthesis, a high yield (94.5%) can be obtained and it exhibited good stability up to 5 cycles without obvious loss of catalytic activity .

The new magnetic separation adsorbent is the key material for separation something that is hard to separate. In this article, an emerging γ-Fe 2 O 3 /sepolite nanocomposite modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane was prepared by chemical coprecipitation method. The magnetic adsorbent (γ-Fe 2 O 3 /Sep-NH 2 ) was used to remove anionic dye, Congo red (CR), from aqueous solution. The γ-Fe 2 O 3 /Sep-NH 2 composite exhibited high specific saturation magnetization (95.36 emu/g) with superparamagnetism without coercivity and residual magnetism , which could be easily separated from aqueous solution by the application of an external magnetic field. Batch adsorption experimental results showed that the magnetic absorbent had high adsorption capacity of 126.4 mg/g for CR. The regeneration of the magnetic absorbent could be realized by soaking it in 0.1 mol/L NaOH solution and the recovered γ-Fe 2 O 3 /Sep-NH 2 magnetic material could be reused for CR removal. The adsorption capacity for reusing ten times still remained 90% of initial adsorption capacity. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity decreases with the increase of temperature. The adsorption processes conform to pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm model, indicating that it is a single molecule chemical adsorption process. Understanding the characteristic of magnetic adsorbent is of great importance to the development of new magnetic materials for magnetic separation removal of anionic pollutant from aqueous solution.

The effect of γ-irradiation pretreatment was compared with other pretreatment methods including ionic liquids (ILs), 1% HCl, 1% H 2 SO 4 , acidic aqueous Ils (AA-ILs), on the bioconversion efficiency of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) for bioethanol production. The efficiency of MCC pretreatment followed with simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) was firstly evaluated according to the variations of the irradiation-derived compounds and structure of MCC, as well as yeast growth curve and bioethanol yield. Results showed that the appropriate irradiation dose (891 kGy used in our work) could eliminate the negative effect of toxic irradiation-derived compounds on SSF for ethanol bioconversion with the yield value of 67%. Analyses of SEM, FT-IR, reducing sugar and bioethanol yield showed that the efficiency of pretreatment on MCC was ILs ≈ irradiation pretreatment > AA-ILs pretreatment > 1% HCl pretreatment > 1% H 2 SO 4 pretreatment.

The development of gene carriers with high delivery efficiency and enough biosafety to replace the current viral vectors and cationic liposomes has long been a key project to achieve the practical application of gene therapy. As an abundant natural polymer, chitosan (CS) possesses incomparably high biocompatibility. However, when it is used as a gene carrier, the gene transfection efficiency is rather disappointing. Herein, we prepared a novel chitosan derivative, poly(tributyl-(4-vinylbenzyl)phosphonium)-grafted CS (CS-P), via γ-ray radiation-induced grafting copolymerization of tributyl-(4-vinylbenzyl)phosphonium in an acidic solution of CS. The CS-P could combine with pEGFP through a complex coacervation method to form pEGFP-loaded CS-P complex particles with a size of about 150 nm and a high positive zeta potential of 41.7 ± 6.1 mV. Agarose gel electrophoresis and an MTT assay show that the pEGFP-loaded CS-P particles have excellent biosafety, superior to pEGFP-loaded unmodified CS particles. In vitro and in vivo gene transfection experiments based on HeLa cells confirmed that pEGFP loaded into CS-P particles exhibits much higher gene transfection efficiency than that loaded into unmodified CS. This work provides not only a new way to modify CS with quaternary phosphonium, but also a useful and feasible way to obtain new CS-based gene vectors with high gene transfection efficiency and biosafety for potentially practical clinic applications.

γ-CuI single crystal was grown via evaporation method in ZnI 2 acetonitrile solvent. The ZnI 2 plays a unique role which can not only increase the solubility of CuI in acetonitrile but also introduce the Zn and I ions in the crystal. The γ-CuI crystal grown in ZnI 2 acetonitrile is regular and transparent. Its size reaches up to 18 × 11 × 2 mm 3 which is larger than that of the crystal grown in pure acetonitrile. In terms of the photoluminescence , the intensity of the emission at 411 nm of the crystal grown with ZnI 2 as a cosolute is much higher than that of the crystal grown without ZnI 2 , which implies that the crystallinity of the crystal can be improved by ZnI 2 doping. The X-ray excited luminescence of the crystal shows that the emission at 435 nm can be significantly enhanced and the emission near 680 nm can be suppressed by introducing Zn and I in the natural non-stoichiometry γ-CuI crystal. The nature of the phenomena is discussed. The decay time of the emission at 435 nm similar to that of the emission at 411 nm is faster than the detection limit of the instrument, i.e. less than 1 ns, and the average decay time of the emission near 680 nm is about 183 ns. The results can provide a useful guide to optimize the scintillation properties of γ-CuI single crystal.

In this study, a series of γ-Fe 2 O 3 -modified V 2 O 5 -MoO 3 /TiO 2 (VMT) catalysts was prepared by wet impregnation method. The γ-Fe 2 O 3 -modified catalysts exhibited excellent catalytic performance, and 1.25 wt% γ-Fe 2 O 3 content improved the deNO x efficiency at 150 °C from 54% (unmodified VMT catalyst) to 84% (modified catalyst). BET, XRD, XPS, NH 3 -TPD, H 2 -TPR, and in situ DRIFTs were employed to characterize the physicochemical properties and reaction mechanisms of the catalysts. The introduction of γ-Fe 2 O 3 increased the V 5+ /V 4+ ratio, surface chemisorbed oxygen content, redox ability, and a number of acid sites in the prepared catalysts. XPS confirmed the addition of γ-Fe 2 O 3 introduced new charge transfer pathways (Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ ↔ V 5+ /V 4+ ). In situ DRIFTs suggested that the addition of γ-Fe 2 O 3 to the catalyst significantly increased the adsorption capacity of catalyst for NH 3 and NO x , while also exerting a strong activating effect on the adsorbed NH 3 . Furthermore, selective catalytic reduction over the VMT and 5PEG@1.25Fe-VMT catalysts followed the Eley-Rideal (E-R) mechanism. At temperatures above 200 °C, the 5PEG@1.25Fe-VMT catalyst also followed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism.

Gas-phase dehydrocyclization of biomass-derived 1,4-butanediol (BDO) to γ-butyrolactone (GBL) is a sustainable and environmentally friendly process conducted at atmospheric pressure. In the present work, a series of 15Cu/xMgO-yCeO 2 catalysts with different MgO: CeO 2 ratios were prepared by the ammonia vaporization method. The gas-phase dehydrocyclization of BDO to GBL was carried out over these Cu-based catalysts synthesized in a fixed-bed reactor. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were investigated by XRD, SEM, TEM, FTIR, N 2 isothermal adsorption–desorption, H 2 -TPR, CO 2 -TPD, Raman, XPS, and EPR. The results indicated that the 15Cu/10MgO-90CeO 2 catalyst exhibited a smaller particle size, higher specific surface area, and increased oxygen vacancies than the 15Cu/CeO 2 catalyst. Operating conditions of 240 °C reaction temperature, 2.4 mL/h space velocity, and 98.92 % GBL yield from BDO dehydrogenation were achieved under 40 mL/min N 2 flow for 4 h. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that the 15Cu/10MgO-90CeO 2 catalyst with more oxygen vacancies was more favorable for the adsorption and activation of BDO on the catalyst surface than 15Cu/CeO 2 , and its higher catalytic activity was attributed to the synergistic interaction between Cu + and oxygen vacancies on the catalyst surface.
