Summary: Tourmaline-LiCoO2 composites were synthesized and found to have high adsorption capacity for Pb2+. The optimal conditions for Pb2+ adsorption were determined to be 0.375 g tourmaline addition and sintering at 800 degrees C. The adsorption behavior of TM0.375LCO800 was influenced by solution pH and foreign cations, with Cu2+ and Zn2+ having the largest effect. XRD, ATR, SEM, TEM, UV-vis DRS, and XPS analysis revealed the physicochemical properties of the composites. The high-temperature transformation of tourmaline and LiCoO2 promoted Pb2+ removal. This study highlights the potential of tourmaline-LiCoO2 composites for heavy metal ion removal and provides scientific insights for future environmental applications.

Summary: FeS was selected as a heterogeneous activator of persulfate (PS) for the degradation of a typical recalcitrant contaminant, DR81. Efficient degradation of DR81 was achieved by the FeS/PS system due to the generation of highly reactive SO4• and •OH. The operational parameters had insignificant effects on the decoloration of DR81, while different inorganic anions showed distinct impacts. FeS/PS system exhibited good adaptability and stability in the degradation process.

Summary: Plasma protein binding plays a crucial role in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of therapeutic bioactive materials. In this study, the interaction of nordentatin, a member of coumarins, with human alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) was investigated, and the anticancer potency of nordentatin against human colorectal cancer cells was evaluated. The results showed that nordentatin binds to AGP through a static quenching mechanism and exhibits inhibitory effects on the growth of HCT-116 cells by increasing intracellular ROS and [Ca2+] levels and triggering apoptosis-related gene overexpression. Therefore, nordentatin could be a promising plant-based therapy for colorectal cancer.
