Summary: Cocoa shell was modified with sodium hydroxide and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide to increase its surface functionality, area, and positive charge density. The modified adsorbent CC-OH-CTAB effectively removed indigo carmine and bromocresol green dyes from water, with optimal pH values of 2 and 4, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacities of indigo carmine and bromocresol green were 85.1 mg/g and 192.7 mg/g, respectively, and the equilibrium was reached after contact times of 30 minutes and 120 minutes. The adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models for indigo carmine and bromocresol green, respectively. The CC-OH-CTAB showed excellent stability and performance, making it a promising material for dye adsorption.

Summary: Studies have shown that the concentration of bromide ions has a significant impact on the surfactant density, stabilization layer, and aggregation behavior of CTAB molecules surrounding gold nanorods. Results indicate that increasing bromide ion concentration leads to higher density of the stabilization layer, eventually reaching a closed/collapsed bilayer configuration, resulting in anisotropic growth of the gold nanorods.

Summary: The study investigates the effect of using DDAA and CTAB as a mixed collector on the flotation separation of diaspore and kaolinite. The experimental results show that the use of DDAA and CTAB significantly improves the flotation separation performance of diaspore and kaolinite. The adsorption analysis and molecular dynamics simulation support the experimental findings, showing that the interaction energies between DDAA and diaspore are more negative, while the interaction energies between CTAB and kaolinite are also more negative. The theoretical calculations and experimental results indicate that the enlarged difference in adsorption amounts is beneficial for the flotation separation performance of minerals.

Summary: Traditional research methods for the biodegradation of emerging organic pollutants are slow and labor-intensive, but new metagenome, metatranscriptome, and metabolome technologies offer a faster and more efficient approach. By integrating these three "omics" approaches, it is possible to link gene abundance and expression with the biotransformation of the pollutants and the formation of metabolites. In this study, the tri-omics approach was used to study the biotransformation pathways of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) under aerobic conditions. The analysis revealed three parallel first-step oxygenation pathways and identified key intermediates and enzymes involved in the biotransformation of CTAB. This study highlights the potential of the tri-omics approach for future research on complex organic biodegradation by microbial communities.

Summary: This study investigated the transformation of dissolved effluent organic matter (dEfOM) during ozonation of real effluents using advanced spectroscopic techniques. Results showed that as ozone dosage increased, the relative abundance of O8-19 species gradually increased in the ozonated samples, while an opposite trend was observed for O5-7S1 species. The study also identified key reactions and compounds involved in the ozonation process, shedding light on the potential for improving water reclamation through ozonation.

Summary: Phosphonates are highly soluble organophosphorus compounds in contaminated waters, and their selective oxidation into phosphates is urgently needed. This study demonstrated efficient and selective oxidation of 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) by the Cu(II)/H2O2 process at alkaline pH, unaffected by natural organic matters or various anions. The complexation of Cu(II) with HEDP enabled an intramolecular electron transfer process, resulting in high selective oxidation, which was further validated in an industrial effluent.

Summary: Mn(II) was found to accelerate the Fenton reaction by participating directly and catalytically in the Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox cycle in the presence of picolinic acid (PICA) as an assisting agent. Mn(II) accelerated Fe(III) reduction, superoxide radical formation, and hydroxyl radical formation, but the proposed Mn(II/III)-H2O2 redox cycle was shown to be insignificant. Instead, Mn(II) initially complexes with a ferric hydroperoxo species, followed by intramolecular electron transfer to give Fe(II) and MnO2+. This scheme can be applied to other Fenton-type systems. These findings will be valuable for the design of practical and sustainable Fenton-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) using Mn(II) in combination with chelating agents.

Summary: Chemical oxidation is essential in treating P(I)/P(III)-bearing wastewater. A low-cost catalyst, PdNi10, was developed as an alternative to the noble metal Pd for the chemical-free oxidation of P(I)/P(III) into P(V) by ambient O-2. PdNi10 demonstrated superior catalytic activity and wide applicability in the conversion of P(I) into P(V) under various pH conditions. The oxidation reactions were confirmed to be non-radical pathways, and the involvement of Ni components was found to be negligible. The reactive oxidant species for P(I)/P(III) oxidation were identified as interfacial OH groups resulting from H2O dissociation.

Summary: In this study, a highly effective surfactant producer strain, Bacillus Cereus GX7, was isolated from the oil tank bottom sludge of Shengli Oil Field in China. The biosurfactant produced by GX7 was identified as surfactin, a lipopeptide surfactant, through TLC, FT-IR, and LC-MS/MS analysis. The fermentation process of GX7 was optimized using single-factor experiments, focusing on the composition of fermentation medium and fermentation conditions. Glucose and peptone were found to be the best carbon and nitrogen sources, and the optimum temperature, inoculum amount, pH, rotation speed, and fermentation time for the strain were determined to be 30°C, 1%, 7.5, 150 rpm, and 48 h, respectively. After optimization, the surface tension and emulsification index of the fermentation broth were 26.84 mN/m and 57.84%, respectively. Furthermore, the biosurfactant produced by GX7 demonstrated good stability over a wide range of temperature, pH, and salt concentration.

Summary: Effective management of biofluids is crucial for in vivo surgical interventions. Recent advances include self-sealing needles, drug-eluting stents, and shear-thinning hydrogels. However, complications associated with intestinal mucosal injury and secondary damage still persist. In this study, researchers developed an interpenetrating Janus wettability stent coating that enables unidirectional draining of excessive biofluid. They also demonstrated directional biofluid movement using a self-pumping dressing with potential applications in biofluid collection and disease diagnosis through metal ion detection. This integrated system presents an opportunity for designing wound dressings with effective biofluid management and metal ion detection capabilities.
