Summary: The combined method of impregnated layer solution combustion and graphite-moulding is promising for producing highly efficient CaO-based CO2 sorbent pellets. It was found that using cigarette butt as a reactive skeleton can improve the resistance to sintering and elutriation, and the incorporation of Al-based stabilizer can enhance the cyclic stability of the sorbent. Therefore, this combined method provides a new solution for calcium-based CO2 capture technology.

Summary: The study shows that inert additive-doped CaO-based CO2 adsorbents can be synthesized in one pot by the mechanochemical method, producing methane instead of CO2 emission. The prepared CaO@C and CaO@MgO@C composites exhibit high CO2 adsorption capacity and superior cycling stability, with much lower activity losses after 30 cycles compared to conventional adsorbents. This work provides a novel, simple, solution-free, and sustainable strategy for synthesizing effective CaO-based CO2 adsorbents.

Summary: Highly efficient and stable Zr-incorporated CaO-based sorbents were synthesized using a cigarette butt-assisted combustion synthesis (CAC) method. The CAC method showed superior cyclic CO2 capture capability and shorter synthesis time compared to wet-mixing and sol-gel methods. The optimal combustion temperature for synthesizing Zr-incorporated CaO-based sorbents using CAC method was found to be 750 degrees C. Synthetic sorbents with 25 wt% ZrO2 exhibited outstanding CO2 capture performance due to the generation of extensive CaZrO3 grains. The combination of cigarette butt-assisted combustion and graphite-moulding enabled the preparation of practical Zr-incorporated CaO-based pellets.

Summary: By using surface-modified polymer nanoparticles as adsorbents to form spherical adsorbents with hierarchical pore structures, efficient capture and release of CO2 can be achieved, maintaining physical and chemical stability even in 50 cycles. Superior regenerable and large-sized adsorbents with hierarchical pore structures result in low pressure drop, pushing the CO2 capture technology forward.

Summary: The crystallite size of a-Al2O3 based compounds is difficult to reduce due to their stability and hardness, but can be achieved through high-energy ball milling method. Micron-sized a-Al2_xCrxO3 materials were obtained and then subjected to a simple milling process. The milled samples showed no impurity or other phases and had a slightly larger cell volume compared to the micron-sized materials. With increased milling time, there was a gradual decrease in crystallite size. The method successfully reduced the crystallite size without affecting the phase and stoichiometry of the materials, potentially leading to improved properties in various applications.

Summary: This article reviews the properties of zeolites as CO2 adsorbents and critically presents and discusses their advantages and limitations. Firstly, an overview of the CO2 adsorption mechanisms on different types of zeolites is provided. Then, the relationship between the physicochemical properties of zeolites (framework type, Si/Al ratio, and extra-framework cations) and their performance as CO2 adsorbents for the separation of CO2/CH4 (biogas) and CO2/N2 (flue gas) mixtures is systematically discussed. Based on the identified trends and properties, a comparison of different zeolites is made, highlighting their advantages and drawbacks for CO2 adsorption. Finally, the state of the art in the shaping of zeolites in macroscopic format, which is crucial for their industrial utilization as adsorbents, is presented.

Summary: This study aimed to enhance the bioavailability of rosmarinic acid, a bioactive compound with high anticancer activity, by encapsulating it in tetrasulfide-based porous organosilica nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles were small in size and had a high surface area and an average pore diameter. The nanoparticles showed effective accumulation in cancer cells without toxicity to normal cells. Treatment with rosmarinic acid-containing nanoparticles resulted in significant cell death in cancer cells. Overall, these findings suggest that the synthesized nanoparticles can enhance the pharmacological effects of rosmarinic acid.

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.
