Summary: This study used PS-Eu particles to track the uptake and transport of micro-and nanoplastics in aquatic plants and investigated the potential of different aquatic plants for trapping and removing plastics in water environment. The results showed that PS-Eu mainly accumulated in the intercellular space and were transported from roots to leaves via the apoplastic path and vascular bundle. Mass spectrum analysis demonstrated that up to 6250 jig/g nanoplastics were trapped in aquatic plants, mainly in roots, with a bioconcentration factor of 306.5. Floating plants like E. crassipes showed promising capability for immobilizing and removing fine plastics from the water environment.

Summary: The extensive use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in various industries and daily-life products has made them common contaminants in soil and water. Although several remediation strategies are available, strong ionic interactions between PFASs and soil constituents hinder the effectiveness of these technologies. Phytoremediation appears to be a potential technology for cleaning up PFAS-contaminated soils, but there are limitations in practical applications.

Summary: Freshwater ecosystems are threatened by heavy metal contamination, but phytoremediation using plants can effectively remove chemical contaminants. This study examined the ability of two wetland plant species (duckweed and tape grass) to remove copper from polluted water and the subsequent leaching potential. It was found that duckweed outperformed tape grass in removing copper at low concentrations, and leaching from decaying plant material only negatively impacted snail survival at high copper concentrations and under simulated freeze-thaw cycles. The results suggest that some aquatic plants can remove contaminants without long-term leaching, but highly polluted environments may require plant tissue removal to prevent leaching.

Summary: In this study, a facile strategy was proposed to achieve efficient degradation of antibiotics by peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation through in-situ growth of single cobalt atoms on polymeric carbon nitride (pCN). The prepared single-atom cobalt catalyst effectively catalyzed the degradation of tetracycline, with CoN/O sites serving as the active site for generating active radical species (singlet oxygen) from PMS activation. This work may expand the strategy for constructing single-atom catalysts and extend its application for the advanced oxidation process.

Summary: In this review, the interaction between lignin macromolecules and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is discussed to promote their high-end applications and sustainability. Firstly, bio-based MOFs can be formed by coordinating lignin and its derivatives with metal ions, which solves the biocompatibility issue of traditional MOFs in biomedicine and other fields. The structure, coordination process, and advantages of bio-based MOFs are introduced, along with the problem of blockage and separation in powdered MOFs. Additionally, MOFs can act as catalysts to convert lignin into liquid fuels and fine chemicals, addressing the energy shortage. The mechanism and products of lignin depolymerization using MOFs and their derivatives are discussed, along with the opportunities and challenges in bio-based MOFs and selective cleavage of lignin.

Summary: Metal components have significant impacts on the generation of persistent free radicals (PFRs) in biochar. This study investigates the effect of interactions among metal components on the formation of PFRs during biomass pyrolysis. The results show that the coupling of Fe with Co and Ni increases the abundance of PFRs in iron-containing biochars (IBCs), while Zn inhibits PFRs generation. Persulfate activation experiments confirm that PFRs are critical redox sites. NiFeO/BC is identified as a more efficient catalyst for PFRs activation. This study provides new methods for regulating PFRs in biochar and advances the understanding of metal-containing biomass pyrolysis processes.
