This study investigated the growth inhibition effects of three phenicol antibiotics on microalgae used in aquaculture. Different dose levels of chloramphenicol (CAP), florfenicol (FF), and thiamphenicol (TAP) were added to cultures of one freshwater green alga, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, and two marine algae, Isochrysis galbana and Tetraselmis chui. For the two marine algae, FF showed higher toxicity levels (EC50, 1.3-8 mg l(-1)) than CAP (4-41 mg l(-1)) and TAP (38-158 mg l(-1)). CAP was more toxic to the freshwater algae (EC50, 14 mg l(-1)) than FF (215 mg l(-1)) and TAP (1283 mg l(-1)). TAP was the least toxic to the three algae, but maintained the highest stability during the test period. Among the tested algae, T. chui was the species most sensitive to the three antibiotics. This study demonstrates that all three phenicol antibiotics can inhibit growth of the three microalgae and should be carefully used in aquaculture.

A convenient, rapid, and environmentally friendly method, emulsive liquid-liquid microextraction combined with high-performance liquid chromatography, was established to determine phthalic acid esters in tap, river, lake, and sea water. After the method's optimization, we obtained the appropriate volume of the extractant and pure water, the number of strokes, the separation methods, the mass volume fraction of the demulsifier, the demulsifier volume, the sample volume, the salt amount, and the pH conditions. This method requires only 200 μL of heptanoic acid (fatty acid) as the extractant and 75 mg of sodium acetate as demulsifiers for fast microextraction and separation, respectively, avoiding the use of further equipment.

The effective protocol for treating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water at environmentally relevant concentrations (∼ ng L) has received unprecedented attention due to the stringent drinking water standards. In order to ensure safe water treatment, sorption using quaternary ammonium functionalized strong-base anion exchange resins (SB-AERs) is considered a viable option for treating PFAS when compared to commercialized activated carbon, as SB-AERs can be in situ regenerated with long-term operation capabilities. However, the harsh conditions required for traditional direct synthesis of SB-AERs (such as prolonged reaction times, complex processes, and environmental pollution caused by the organic reagents used) limit their applications.

Waste toner powder contains carbon and ferrosoferric oxide, meaning it has potential as a magnetic adsorbent. Previous efforts have tried to improve its hydrophilicity for aqueous samples, but not non-aqueous food matrices such as edible oils. In this work, we proposed a one-step hydrothermal carbonization method using 50 % (v/v) acetic acid to prepare carboxyl-functionalised magnetic adsorbent for aqueous and oil-based food samples.

Resorcin[4]arene based fluorescent sensors RES-AAQ containing eight anthraquinone groups as binding sites, were developed for very accurate and sensitive detection of Fe metal ion. The motivation for this study lies in the need for advanced sensing techniques for precisely identifying Fe ions. Due to its unique redox properties, Fe plays a crucial role in biological processes, environmental remediation, medical diagnostics, and advanced detection methods.
