Summary: The removal of zinc ions from water was studied using two types of ordered mesoporous silica (SBA-15 and SBA-16). Both materials were modified with APTES and EDTA through post grafting methods. The modified adsorbents were characterized by various analytical techniques, and the structural integrity was maintained. Optimal adsorption conditions and maximum adsorption capacity were determined through experimental tests, and the regenerated adsorbent showed no significant decline in adsorption efficiency.

Summary: This study investigates the application of modified and grafted materials in reducing CO2 emissions in the air. The results show that the CO2 adsorption capacity and affinity can be improved by modifying the silica structure and grafting amine groups. However, in high humidity conditions, water affects the adsorption efficiency of CO2.

Summary: A new approach for polymer functionalization of ordered mesoporous silicas (OMS) was demonstrated by cocondensation of silica precursor and a functional polymer, using a tailored amphiphilic copolymer as pore template. The novel strategy allows for incorporation of the functional polymer into the mesoporous silica, resulting in materials with high specific surface area and large pores, and acceptable CO2 adsorption capacity with selectivity towards CH4 and N2.

Summary: Tumbling chemical vapor deposition (T-CVD) method for gas phase grafting (GPG) on mesoporous silica offers sustainable, cost-effective, and time-efficient approach. Gas phase methodology results in higher propylamine contents, higher surface density, and better CO2 uptake compared to traditional solution grafting. Additionally, GPG is suitable for grafting granules and pellets with limited mechanical strength, providing higher efficiency and less waste.

Summary: In this study, aminosilane-modified MCM-41 and SBA-15 mesoporous silicas were synthesized using sodium silicate extracted from gold mine tailings slurry. The CO2 adsorption capacities of these synthesized samples were found to increase with higher amine contents and specific surface area, with the aminosilane-modified MCM-41 and SBA-15 showing the highest adsorption capacities. The Avrami model was able to accurately represent the adsorption kinetic data for all adsorbents, indicating a multiple reaction pathway occurring in CO2 adsorption, and the aminosilane-modified samples exhibited good regenerability after multiple adsorption-desorption cycles.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic exposure to PM induces chronic inflammation and development of COPD by dysregulating NAD+ metabolism and subsequent SIRT1 deficiency in pulmonary macrophages. Activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol effectively mitigates PM-induced inflammation and COPD development. Targeting metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming in macrophages induced by PM is a promising strategy for COPD treatment.

Summary: Microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems poses a growing concern due to its trophic transfer and negative effects on marine organisms. This study investigates the transfer and impacts of polystyrene microplastics in an estuarine food chain. The results show that microplastics can be transferred through the food chain, although the transfer rates are low. The exposed organisms exhibit stress responses, suggesting the potential risk of microplastics reaching humans through the food chain.

Summary: This study measured the levels of phthalate metabolites in breast milk collected from mothers in southern China. The results showed that phthalates are still prevalent in the region, and breastfeeding contributes to phthalate intake in infants. However, the levels detected do not pose significant health risks to infants based on dietary exposure. The increasing exposure to certain phthalates calls for further research into their sources and potential risks.

Summary: Ocean depth affects microbial diversity, composition, and co-occurrence patterns of microplastic microbial communities. Deterministic processes dominate the assembly of mesopelagic plastisphere microbial communities, while stochastic processes shape the assembly of bathypelagic microbial communities. The relationships between microorganisms in the mesopelagic layer are more complex and stable, with Proteobacteria and Actinobacteriota playing important roles.
