A novel adsorbent, poly(methacrylic acid-co-vinyl sulfonic acid)-grafted-magnetite nanocellulose composite (P(MAA-co-VSA)-g-MNCC) was synthesized for adsorbing hemoglobin (Hb) selectively from aqueous solutions. FTIR, XRD and DLS analyses were carried out to characterize the material. Hb exhibited a decrease in α-helix and an increase in β-sheet structure, upon immobilization onto P(MAA-co-VSA)-g-MNCC. The maximum adsorption was found to be at pH 6.5 with a monolayer capacity of 248.19mg/g at 30°C. Adsorption capacity attained saturation within 2h. The kinetic data were found to follow pseudo-second-order model which is based on chemisorption. Adsorption behavior was observed to be endothermic in nature. P(MAA-co-VSA)-g-MNCC can be used in the selective adsorption of Hb from mixture of proteins. Spent adsorbent was effectively regenerated with 0.01M KOH. Present investigation had shown that P(MAA-co-VSA)-g-MNCC would be a promising material for the selective recovery of Hb from aqueous solutions.

Halogenated benzenes (HBs) are hydrophobic organic chemicals belonging to persistent organic pollutants. Owing to their persistence, they represent a serious problem in environmental contamination, specifically of soils and sediments. One of the most important physical processes determining the fate of HBs in soils is adsorption to main soil components such as soil organic matter and soil minerals.

ConspectusThe discovery of reversible hydrogenation using metal-free phosphoborate species in 2006 marked the official advent of frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) chemistry. This breakthrough revolutionized homogeneous catalysis approaches and paved the way for innovative catalytic strategies. The unique reactivity of FLPs is attributed to the Lewis base (LB) and Lewis acid (LA) sites either in spatial separation or in equilibrium, which actively react with molecules.

A macrocycle-based approach to the construction of a cationic polymeric network with pillar[5]arene as the node for efficient sequestration of hazardous IO and I is presented. Ultrafast kinetics ( 4 min) were achieved along with excellent adsorption capacities for both IO (456 mg g) and I (370 mg g), good selectivity, and outstanding reusability. This work showcases the merits of pillar[5]arene as nodes in cationic adsorption materials in the removal of anionic iodine species.

Here we demonstrate how a biologically relevant molecule, riboflavin (vitamin B2), operates by a dual mode of action to effectively control crystallization of ammonium urate (NHHU), which is associated with cetacean kidney stones. In situ microfluidics and atomic force microscopy experiments confirm a strong interaction between riboflavin and NHHU crystal surfaces that substantially inhibits layer nucleation and spreading by kinetic mechanisms of step pinning and kink blocking. Riboflavin does not alter the distribution of tautomeric urate isomers, but its adsorption on NHHU crystal surfaces does interfere with the effects of minor urate tautomer by limiting its ability to induce NHHU crystal defects while also suppressing NHHU nucleation and inhibiting crystal growth by 80% at an uncharacteristically low modifier concentration.

Electrochemical 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) oxidation reaction (HMFOR) offers a promising route to transform biomass into value-added chemicals. However, the competing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) greatly limits the HMFOR selectivity. Herein, we report a facile doping strategy to engineer oxygen intermediates adsorption on amorphous NiFe alloys to boost highly selective electrochemical HMF oxidation to produce 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), among which, amorphous Mn-doped NiFeB alloy displays a low HMFOR onset potential of 1.
