Nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs) are toxic and persistent environmental contaminants of increasing concern because of their widespread occurrence and ecological risks. Nitronaphthalene, a representative nitro-PAH, occurs as positional isomers, yet microbial degradation studies have mainly focused on 1-nitronaphthalene (1-NN), leaving the basis for biodegradation of 2-nitronaphthalene (2-NN) largely unresolved. In this study, Burkholderia pseudomultivorans M3 was isolated from river sediment in Anhui Province, China, and was found to efficiently degrade both 1-NN and 2-NN, indicating an expanded degradation range for nitronaphthalene isomers. Genome analysis identified a novel nitronaphthalene degradation gene cluster ( nnd ) that is phylogenetically related to reported nin - and nag -type gene clusters but differs functionally from both. Gene knockout and complementation experiments demonstrated that nndAc , encoding the catalytic α-subunit of a Rieske-type dioxygenase, is essential for degradation of both isomers. Heterologous expression and metabolite identification further showed that the NndAB system transforms 1-NN and 2-NN into 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene via the corresponding nitro-dihydrodiol intermediates, with concomitant nitrite release. Site-directed mutagenesis revealed that the ability of NndAc depends on the coordinated effects of multiple active-site residues, with F200 being particularly important for 2-NN transformation. Moreover, strain M3 maintained substantial removal efficiency in synthetic wastewater containing mixed nitro-, carboxyl-, and hydroxyl-substituted naphthalene compounds, supporting its applicability in complex contaminated matrices. These findings reveal the molecular basis underlying the broadened substrate range of nitronaphthalene degradation and highlight the potential of strain M3 for remediation of wastewater containing mixed substituted naphthalene pollutants.

The Friedel–Crafts acetylation of 2-methylnaphthalene (2-MN) represents a powerful approach for synthesizing 2-methyl-6-acetylnaphthalene (2,6-MAN). The identification of catalytically active species in Friedel–Crafts acylation has recently attracted considerable attention. In this study, we performed an experimental and computational investigation of the AlCl3-catalyzed Friedel–Crafts acetylation of 2-MN in nitrobenzene and dichloromethane solvents. The yield of the acetylation can be significantly affected by the solvent and the addition method. Following the substitution mechanism, the stepwise deprotonation pathway is preferred in both solvents, which is mediated by the donor–acceptor complex as the catalytically active species. The calculations with the explicit solvent led to the same conclusions. This study provides important understanding of the AlCl3-catalyzed Friedel–Crafts acetylation reaction, with potential applications to other Lewis acid-catalyzed acylation reactions.

Coal tar dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs), widespread legacy contaminants at former industrial sites, pose significant environmental challenges due to high viscosity and persistent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) content. Conventional cosolvent flushing is hampered by solvent volatility, flammability, and recycling difficulties. We therefore developed a closed-loop system integrating ionic liquid (IL) flushing, electrical resistance heating (ERH), and activated carbon (AC) regeneration. Batch tests showed that 60% v/v 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF 4 ]) mobilized coal tar and solubilized > 60% of total PAH (ΣPAH) within 12 h at ambient temperature. Density functional theory calculations confirmed strong π–π stacking between [BMIM]⁺ and PAHs (e.g., interaction energy (ΔE) = –45.1 kJ/mol for phenanthrene). AC rapidly adsorbed PAHs from [BMIM][BF 4 ] solution with even greater affinity (ΔE = –59.1 kJ/mol for phenanthrene), enabling efficient IL regeneration. Column studies demonstrated enhanced ΣPAH removal at elevated temperature (93.6% at 60 °C vs. 76.8% at 20 °C within 2 h); this is particularly critical for the removal of high-molecular-weight PAHs (HMW PAH), attributed to a reduction in coal tar viscosity that promotes mobilization and intra-tar diffusion. A 2D sand tank experiment demonstrated 93.2% ΣPAH removal at 80 °C within 5 h under continuous AC regeneration and ERH-enhanced circular IL flushing. This innovative IL-ERH-AC system offers a safe, sustainable, and efficient solution for recalcitrant coal tar DNAPL remediation.

In this work, spherical amine-functionalized mesoporous silica (Sp- Amino-Si ) molecular sieve was fabricated by an acid hydrothermal method using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane as a modifier and toluene as the solvent. The results of scanning electron microscopy, Barrett-Joyner-Halenda pore size distribution, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, and low-angle X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that the Sp- Amino-Si was monodispersed microspheres with uniform and controllable pore sizes sharing two-dimensional hexagonal P6mm symmetry and a large number of amino groups. The Sp- Amino-Si molecular sieve was verified to be suitable for the selective separation of aromatic hydrocarbons (AMHs) containing two fused benzene rings among other compounds from environmental water matrix. Under the optimized conditions, the Sp- Amino-Si exhibited much higher adsorption efficiency for AMHs (above 88.19%), comparing to the original SBA-15 (below 44.52%). The maximum adsorption capacities for naphthalene, methyl naphthalene, 2-methyl naphthalene, and acenaphthene were 477.1, 1006.5, 893.3, and 1253.2 µg·g −1 , respectively. The high selectivity of Sp- Amino-Si for the four AMHs attributed to the size sieving and p-π interactions between the lone pair electrons of amine groups and the π-electrons in AMHs molecules. The Sp- Amino-Si based solid-phase extraction coupled with high performance liquid chromatography detection method was constructed for the analysis of the four AMHs, and the recoveries of spiked AMHs ranged from 89.67% to 112.74% with a relative standard deviation lower than 5.75%. This study provides some inspiration and a reliable method for AMHs separation, removal, and analysis.

Low-rank coal tar contains abundant phenolic compounds. Phenol extraction with ethanolamine is a promising alternative to the traditional method of caustic washing, which can cause serious environmental problems. However, the content of neutral oil, which primarily contains naphthalene compounds, in the phenolic compounds extracted via the ethanolamine method exceeds the Chinese metallurgical industry standard, limiting the industrial application of phenol extraction with ethanolamine. Herein, a conceptual process involving ethanolamine extraction, azeotropic distillation, and crystallization is proposed to reduce the neutral oil content. Naphthalene compounds were effectively separated from phenolic compounds as ethanolamine and naphthalene compounds form the minimum azeotrope. Thereafter, naphthalene compounds were separated from ethanolamine via crystallization. Ultimately, naphthalene compounds and phenolic compounds were simultaneously obtained as products. The separation characteristics of the new process were comprehensively analyzed, and key process parameters were optimized through experiments and simulations. The proposed process can overcome not only the secondary pollution caused by the caustic washing method but also the high neutral oil content of conventional organic solvent extraction methods. Thus, the proposed novel process has good industrial application prospects.

A fluorescent suspension array combining digital encoding and molecular imprinting technologies was applied for multiplexed detection of phenols in aqueous medium. In this assay, nanomaterials such as silver (Ag), cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O), magnesium oxide (MgO), and zinc oxide (ZnO) were assembled on microbeads as digital encoding signal sources, then, (Digital encoding signal sources were produced by assembling silver (Ag), cuprous oxide Cu2O), magnesium oxide (MgO), and zinc oxide (ZnO) on microbeads. Molecular imprinted nanoparticles based on CdSe/ZnS quantum dots with various emission wavelengths (525, 565 and 585 nm) were grafted on the encoded beads through electrostatic adsorption and were used as the sensing units. The decoding spectra of the suspension array were stimulated and collected by a home-built laser induced breakdown spectroscopy system. The resulted spectra were transformed into digital sequences for encoding. As demonstrated in the gradient detections to various phenol solutions in concentration range of 0.98–62.5 μg/mL, the functionality of the suspension array was proven in the control experiments between the parent sensor beads and the molecular imprinting silica nanoparticles assembled sensor beads. Furthermore, the selectivity of suspension array was verified by the mixed adsorption experiments conducted in multicomponent analytes.

Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method was applied for the investigation of low molecular weight volatile organic metabolites (VOMs) in pleural effusion samples. Three important HS-SPME experimental parameters that influence extraction efficiency (fiber coating, extraction time and temperature of sampling) were optimized by a univariate optimization design. The highest extraction efficiency was obtained when sampling was performed at 50 °C for 10 min under agitation using a carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane (CAR/PDMS) fiber. A total of 36 volatile metabolites belonging to nine distinct chemical classes were identified in 40 pleural effusion samples (20 malignant effusions from lung cancer patients and 20 benign effusions from inflammatory patients). Ketones, alcohols, and benzene derivatives were the main chemical classes for the metabolomic profile of malignant effusions. The average peak areas of ketones and alcohols were much higher in malignant group compared to benign group. Together with phenols, they exhibit significant differences ( P < 0.05) between the two groups. Particularly, the average peak areas of cyclohexanone and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol in malignant effusions were significantly higher than those in benign ones. Furthermore, of the 36 identified metabolites, 5 compounds including cyclohexanone and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol were found to be statistically different (Student's t -test, P < 0.05) between the two groups by statistical analysis based on the peak areas of all identified metabolites. Among them, cyclohexanone and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol might be considered as candidate biomarkers of lung cancer to differentiate malignant from benign effusions. The results show that HS-SPME-GC/MS is a simple, rapid, sensitive and solvent-free method for the determination of VOMs in pleural effusion samples. Pleural effusion is a valuable sample source for observation of changes in VOMs for differentiation between lung cancer patients and inflammatory individuals.

The solubility of 2-methylnaphthalene in different organic solvents was experimentally studied by the equilibrium method at temperatures from (278.15 to 303.15) K under atmospheric pressure. The solubility of 2-methylnaphthalene in all solvents increased with the increasing temperature. The solubility data were correlated with four thermodynamic models including the van’t Hoff equation, modified Apelblat equation, λh equation, and Wilson model. It was found that the calculated solubility with modified Apelblat equation provided a good agreement with the experimental values for the solubility behavior of 2-methylnaphthalene. The thermodynamic properties of the standard dissolution enthalpy, standard entropy, and the standard mole Gibbs free energy were evaluated based on the van’t Hoff analysis. The values of enthalpy of dissolution are positive, which indicate that the dissolution process of 2-methylnaphthalene in different organic solvents is endothermic.

Covalent organic polymers (COPs) connected by covalent bonds are a new class of porous network materials with large surface area and potential superiority in sample pretreatment. In this study, a new hydrazone linked covalent organic polymer (HL-COP) adsorbent was well-designed and synthesized based on a simple Schiff-base reaction. The condensation of 1,4-phthalaldehyde and 1,3,5-benzenetricarbohydrazide as organic building blocks led to the synthesis of HL-COP with uniform particle size and good adsorption performance. This HL-COP adsorbent with high hydrophobic property and rich stacking π electrons contained abundant phenyl rings and imine ( C N) groups throughout the entire molecular framework. The adsorption mechanism was explored and discussed based on π–π affinity, hydrophobic effect, hydrogen bonding and electron–donor–acceptor (EDA) interaction, which contributed to its strong recognition affinity to target compounds. Enrichment factors were 305–757 for six Sudan dyes by HL-COP micro-solid phase extraction (μ-SPE), indicating its remarkable preconcentration ability. Furthermore, the adsorption amounts by HL-COP μ-SPE were 1.0–11.0 folds as those by three commonly used commercial adsorbents. Then, HL-COP was applied as adsorbent of online μ-SPE coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for enrichment and analysis of trace Sudan dyes in food samples with detection limit of 0.03–0.15 μg/L. The method was successfully applied for online analysis of chilli powder and sausage samples. Sudan II and Sudan III in one positive chilli powder sample were actually found and determined with concentrations of 8.3 and 6.8 μg/kg, respectively. The recoveries of chilli powder and sausage samples were in range of 75.8–108.2% and 73.8–112.6% with relative standard deviations of 1.2–8.5% and 1.9–9.4% ( n = 5), respectively. The proposed method was accurate, reliable and convenient for the online simultaneous analysis of trace Sudan dyes in food samples.

This work presents the separation performance of graphene-ZIF8 (G-Z) composite material as stationary phase for capillary gas chromatography (GC). The G-Z stationary phase achieved high column efficiency of 5000 plates/m determined by n -dodecane ( k = 1.22) at 120 °C and showed weakly polar nature. Importantly, it exhibited high selectivity and resolving capability for branched alkane isomers and aromatic positional isomers, showing clear advantages over the reported neat graphene and ZIF8. In addition, it attained high resolution for geometric cis -/ trans -isomers. The G-Z column exhibited good column thermal stability up to 300 °C and column repeatability with RSD values of retention times in the range of 0.01–0.19% for intra-day, 0.05–0.88% for inter-day and 0.66–5.6% for between-column, respectively, Moreover, the G-Z column was employed for the determination of minor impurity isomers in real reagent samples, which demonstrates its promising potential in GC applications .

The pinewood was pyrolyzed in the first reactor at a heating rate of 10 °C min −1 from room temperature to 700 °C, and the vapor was allowed to be cracked through the second reactor in a temperature range of 450–750 °C without and with HZSM-5. Attempts were made to determine a wide spectrum of gaseous and liquid products, as well as the mass and element partitions to gas, water, bio-oil, coke and char. HZSM-5 showed a preferential deoxygenation effect via the facilitated decarbonylation and decarboxylation with the inhibited dehydration at 550–600 °C. This catalyst also displayed a high selectivity for the formations of aromatic hydrocarbons and olefins by the promoted hydrogen transfer to these products at 550–600 °C. The bio-oil produced with HZSM-5 at 500–600 °C had the yields of 14.5–16.8%, the high heat values of 39.1–42.4 MJ kg −1 , and the energy recoveries of 33–35% (all dry biomass basis).

Biomass catalytic pyrolysis for the production of aromatics as an alternative to petrochemical resources is a promising technology in the context of carbon neutrality. The aromatization of furans presents a novel pathway for converting biomass into aromatics. In this study, four binary molten chlorides (NaCl-FeCl 2 , NaCl-MnCl 2 , NaCl-ZnCl 2 , and NaCl-MgCl 2 ) were selected for the pyrolysis of pine sawdust. The thermal stability and eutectic points of the binary molten chlorides were tested by TG-DSC. The introduction of binary molten chlorides significantly increased the selectivity for furans in bio-oil, reaching 72.2–91.8 area% for NaCl-ZnCl 2 and 42.8–71.2 area% for NaCl-FeCl 2 . Commercial HZSM-5 was characterized by SEM, XRD, BET, NH 3 -TPD, and Py-IR, and HZSM-5/cordierite monolithic catalysts were prepared. Co-pyrolysis of pine sawdust and polypropylene in binary molten chlorides were conducted, combined with in-situ or ex-situ catalytic processes. Furans generated from the pyrolysis of pine sawdust in binary molten chlorides served as key intermediates for the production of aromatics with high selectivity in a single step. In ex-situ catalytic pyrolysis, the highest selectivity for aromatics reached 91.2 area%. The van Krevelen diagram indicated that the aromatics from bio-oil had the potential to substitute ethylene tar in carbon black production. Diels–Alder reactions were discussed in the proposed reaction pathways for catalytic co-pyrolysis.
