The effects of copper (Cu2+) and Cu-EDTA complex on the induction of HSP70 in the fish brain were studied. After the fish (Carassius auratus) were exposed to the experimental concentrations for forty days, the SDS-PAGE and Western Blotting techniques were used to detect the expression level of HSP70 in the fish brain. The results showed that Cu2+ and Cu-EDTA complex can induce the expression of HSP70 significantly. Comparing with the test groups exposed to Cu2+, the Cu-EDTA complex had changed the bioavailability and decreased the toxicity of the heavy metal. It was found that the fish exposed to the concentration of Cu2+ which below the national fishery water quality standard of 0.01 mg/L , also had a significant increase in the expression level of HSP70. Therefore, HSP70 as an environmental biomarker can be a more sensitive and rapid indicator than conventional end points in the aquatic ecosystem.

Global warming has an increasingly serious impact on the ecological environment. Copper bioavailability plays an important physiological role in revealing the mechanism of carbon cycle, photosynthesis, and respiration. Here we reported a multifunctional carbon quantum dots fluorescence probe for no-interfered and visual determination of phytoplankton-based intracellular Cu(II), glucose, and reactive oxygen species (ROS).

The complex of heavy metals and organic acids leads to high difficulty in heavy metals separation by traditional technologies. Meanwhile, alkaline precipitation commonly used in industry causes the great consumption of resources and extra pollution. Herein, the effective decomplexation of Cu(Ⅱ)-EDTA and synchronous recycling of Cu were realized by contact-electro-catalysis (CEC) coupled with capacitive deionization (CDI) innovatively.

Complex wastewater matrices such as printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing wastewater present a major environmental concern. In this work, simultaneous decomplexation of metal complex Cu-EDTA and reduction/electrodeposition of Cu was conducted in a persulfate-based electrochemical oxidation system. Oxidizing/reductive species were simultaneously produced in this system, which realized 99.

Heavy metal complexes from the industrial wastewater induce risks for the humans and ecosystems, yet are valuable metal resources. For energy saving and emission reduction goals, the simultaneous decomplexation and recovery of metal resources is the ideal disposal of wastewater with heavy metal complexes. Herein, a self-catalytic decomplexation scheme is developed via an electrochemical ozone production (EOP) system to achieve efficient decomplexation and Cu recovery.

In modern industry, selective extraction and recovery of Cu from strongly acidic electroplating effluent are crucial to reduce carbon emissions, alleviate resource scarcity, and mitigate water pollution, yielding considerable economic and environmental benefits. This study proposed a high-efficiency CuSe electrode to selectively remove Cu from electroplating effluent via hybrid capacitive deionization (HCDI). The potential of this electrode was thoroughly evaluated to assess its effectiveness.
