Abstract:
... Quick and precise recovery of palladium (Pd) from electronic waste remains a serious task, owing to the strong acid and complexity of chemical compounds in leachate. Here, bioinspired construction of magnetic nano stirring rod with radially aligned dual mesopores and abundant 8-aminoquinoline (MNSR-DM-AQ) is proposed for selective and rapid extraction of Pd(II) from highly acidic sample solutions. ...
... Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common nutritional disease affecting 2 billion people. To develop a new iron-fortified food, we designed a novel type of iron-chelating peptide [Sea cucumbers peptides (SCP)–Fe] from sea cucumbers. SCP can chelate ferrous ions. The neutral protease hydrolysate have the highest iron chelating activity (117.17 ± 2.62 mg/g). Single factors including pH, material rati ...
... In this work, a highly sensitive immunochromatographic test strip (ITS) based on Scandium-Tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) metal–organic framework nanocubes (ScTMNs) was developed for ultrasensitive and facile visual determination of imidacloprid (IDP). TCPP as the porphyrin-based planar ligand and Sc³⁺ as the metal center were applied to form the ScTMNs via coordination chelation. Givi ...
... In this study, an adsorbent made of alginate (Alg) caged magnesium sulfide nanoparticles (MgS) microbeads were used to treat lead ions (Pb²⁺ ions). The MgS nanoparticles were synthesized at low temperatures, and Alg@MgS hydrogel microbeads were made by the ion exchange process of the composite materials. The newly fabricated Alg@MgS was characterized by XRD, SEM, and FT-IR. The adsorption conditio ...
... The expansion of large-scale nuclear power causes a substantial volume of radioactive wastewater containing uranium to be released into the environment. Because of uranium's toxicity and bioaccumulation, it is critical to develop the efficient and sustainable materials for selective removal of uranium (VI). Herein, a regenerable anti-biofouling nano zero-valent iron doped porphyrinic zirconium met ...

Abstract:
... Each year, nearly 30 million tons of pineapple fruit are harvested for food and drinking industries, along with the release of a huge amount of pineapple wastes. Without the proper treatment, pineapple wastes can cause adverse impacts on the environment, calling for new technologies to convert them into valuable products. Here, we review the production and application of adsorbents derived from pi ...
... The sturdy chelation of 1,2-diamines and transition-metals would retard or even interrupt the routine catalytic cycles. In the amidation and asymmetric reductive amination (ARA) cascade reactions of diamines and ketoesters, we deployed sets of additives to ensure a smooth transformation catalyzed by the complexes of rhodium and versatile and highly modular phosphoramidite-phosphine ligands. The tu ...
... A novel three dimensional ZnO modified biochar-based hydrogel (ZBCG) was fabricated and employed for removing U(VI) in aqueous solution. The ZBCG hydrogel, the successful loading of ZnO modified biochar (ZBC) confirmed by SEM and FTIR, has showed a well mechanical characteristics, thermal stability, anti-swelling property and adsorption performance for U(VI) than pure hydrogels (BG). At T = 40 ℃, ...
... The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of IVTNWDDMEK and VGPAGPRG, two angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides purified from Volutharpa ampullacea perryi, on ACE’s two domains and on nitric oxide (NO), endothelin-1(ET-1) production in human vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). In addition, we sought to investigate the effects of these two peptides on HUVECs injury in ...
... Cropland contamination by toxic trace metal (loid)s (TTMs) has attracted increasing attention due to the serious consequential threat to crop quality and human health. Mitigation of plant TTM stress by silica amendment has been proposed recently. However, the relationship between the siliceous structure of phytoliths and TTMs in plants, and the environmental implications of phytolith-occluded trac ...
... Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are universally used in diverse fields, but the use and treatment of various commodities will adversely affect the human health. Therefore, the recovery and immobilization of AgNPs and AuNPs from wastewater has important economic and social benefits. The ordered macro-microporous ZIF-67 single crystal (SOM-ZIF-67) was prepared by double s ...
... An O-hydroxyphenyl thiourea-modified chitosan (OTCS) with excellent Pb(II) adsorption performance and selectivity was prepared as an adsorbent. The structure and morphology of the adsorbent were systematically investigated by SEM, BET, FTIR, EDX, zeta-potential measurements, XPS and XRD. The impacts of the initial Pb(II) concentration, reaction time, temperature, pH value, and coexisting ions were ...
... Most natural polymers exhibit limited functional groups, which is not favourable for the adsorption of various ions and their utilisation. To overcome this drawback, a novel in-situ-doped nano-calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) chitin hydrogel was synthesised as an efficient adsorbent for Cu (II) and Cd (II) ions. Scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller results revealed that the synthesised ...
... Herein, we represent a novel ecofriendly bilayer-amine group incorporated microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)/chitosan (CS) hydrogel, fabricated via integrating polydopamine (PDA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) for reliable and effective extraction of copper (Cu²⁺), zinc (Zn²⁺), and nickel (Ni²⁺) ions from effluents. Owing to abundant adsorptive sites, the MCC-PDA-PEI/CS-PDA-PEI hydrogel showed excellen ...
... Due to its narrow band gap, Copper sulfide (CuS) exhibits great potential in photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes. However, there are still some drawbacks in the CuS photocatalytic system, such as easy aggregation, poor reusability, high recombination rate of photogenerated electron-hole pair, and photocorrosion damage. In this study, CuS was anchored onto cellulose fibers (CF) with the help ...

... Antioxidant compounds decrease the amount of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and, consequently, reduce the deleterious effects of ROS in osteoblasts. Here, we modified a 21 kDa fucoidan (FucA) with gallic acid (GA) using the redox method, to potentiate its antioxidant/protective capacity on pre-osteoblast-like cells (MC3T3) against oxidative stress. The 20 kDa FucA-GA contains 37 ± 3.0 ...
... Inhibiting tyrosinase activity is considered as an effective strategy to prevent the enzymatic browning of fruits and vegetables. In this study, the extractable condensed tannins (ECTs) isolated from durian shells usually disposed as agricultural wastes were found to strongly inhibit on both monophenolase and diphenolase of tyrosinase, and the inhibition of diphenolase by ECTs was proved to be rev ...
... This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant activity of extracts obtained from jabuticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora) seeds. Ethanolic (ETJS), methanolic (MEJS), aqueous (AQJS), and propanone (PRJS) extracts was assessed by measuring spectrophotometrically their ability to scavenge DPPH·, ABTS·⁺, HOCl, and O₂·⁻ radicals. Electrochemical methods were employed, and the obtained data presented a good ...
