In the present study removal performance of 1-naphthol and 1-naphthylamine from wastewater by single and binary adsorption was compared. Synergistic effects were investigated in single-solute, binary-solute, and the preloading adsorption systems at 293 K. Two commercial polystyrene adsorbents Amberlite XAD-4, a macroporous adsorbent, and NDA-100, a hyper-cross-linked adsorbent, were employed here for their frequent use in organic pollutants removal from contaminated waters. All the adsorption isotherms of 1-naphthol and 1-naphthylamine on both adsorbents were found to be well represented by the Langmuir equation. Adsorption capacity of the primary solute was enhanced in the presence of the co-solute, arising presumably from the synergistic effect caused by the laterally acid-base interaction between the adsorbed 1-naphthol and 1-naphthylamine molecules. Due to the stronger adsorption affinity of 1-naphthylamine to nonpolar adsorbents, adsorption enhancement of 1-naphthylamine in the presence of 1-naphthol is greater than that of 1-naphthol in the presence of 1-naphthylamine. The greater synergistic effect of 1-naphthol/1-naphthylamine equimolar mixtures on XAD-4 than that on NDA-100 partly results from the larger average pore size of the former adsorbent. A modified extended Langmuir model is proved to well describe the synergistic adsorption of 1-naphthol/1-naphthylamine equimolar mixtures in the binary-solute system. The synergistic coefficient of one adsorbate is linearly correlated with the amount of the other adsorbed on the adsorbent.

Metastable Amorphous Dispersions of Hydrophobic Naphthalene Compounds Can Be Formed in Water without Stabilizing Agents via the "Ouzo Effect".

Hydrophobic molecules dissolved in water-miscible organic solvents are used in vitro for biological membrane studies and for testing of potential pharmaceuticals in high-throughput screenings. When these solutions are introduced into an aqueous environment, it is possible that metastable "ouzo-like" dispersions form from liquid-liquid phase separation. It is therefore hypothesized that when solutions of naphthalene compounds in water-miscible solvents are added to water, metastable dispersions will form.

As one group of important naphthalene derivatives, naphthol and naphthylamine are diffusely employed as dye intermediates. The presence of naphthol and naphthylamine in water systems may pose risks to the environment and public health due to their carcinogenicity. In this study, four mesoporous polymers prepared by β-cyclodextrin derivatives and tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile were obtained and applied to adsorbing 1-naphthylamine, 2-naphthylamine, 1-naphthol, and 2-naphthol from water.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a fast silver deposition method for electrochemical biosensors that utilizes three signal amplification processes: enzymatic amplification, chemical-chemical redox cycling, and chemical-enzymatic redox cycling.
- The method employs DT-diaphorase to convert a nitroso compound into an amine compound that effectively reduces silver ions, aided by NADH as a reducing agent in the redox cycling processes.
- When tested on an electrochemical immunosensor for parathyroid hormone detection, this approach achieved a remarkable sensitivity with a detection limit as low as ∼100 fg/mL, showing promising applications in ultrasensitive biosensing.

We conducted batch adsorption experiments to understand the adsorptive properties of colloidal graphene oxide nanoparticles (GONPs) for a range of environmentally relevant aromatics and substituted aromatics, including model nonpolar compounds (pyrene, phenanthrene, naphthalene, and 1,3-dichlorobenzene) and model polar compounds (1-naphthol, 1-naphthylamine, 2,4-dichlorophenol, and 2,4-dinitrotoluene). GONPs exhibited strong adsorption affinities for all the test compounds, with distribution coefficients on the order of 10(3)-10(6) L/kg. Adsorption to GONPs is much more linear than to carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and C60, likely because GO nanoflakes are essentially individually dispersed (rendering adsorption sites of similar adsorption energy) whereas CNT/C60 are prone to bundling/aggregation.
