In this paper, gemini polymeric nanoarchitecture (GPN) as a novel adsorbent was synthesized, and its dye removal ability from single and multicomponent (ternary) systems was investigated. The physical characteristics of GPN were studied using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). Acid Blue 92 (AB92), Direct Green 6 (DG6), and Direct Red 31 (DR31) were used as model compounds. The isotherm and kinetic of dye adsorption from single and multicomponent (ternary) systems were studied. The effect of operational parameter such as adsorbent dosage, dye concentration, and salt on dye removal was evaluated. The maximum dye adsorption capacity (Q0) of GPN was 1000 mg/g, 1428 mg/g, and 1250 mg/g for AB92, DG6, and DR31, respectively. It was found that adsorption of AB92, DG6, and DR31 onto GPN followed with Langmuir, Freundlich, and Langmuir isotherms, respectively. Adsorption kinetic of dyes followed pseudo-second order kinetics. The results showed that the GPN as an insoluble polymeric adsorbent with high dye adsorption capacity might be a suitable alternative to remove dyes from colored wastewater.

Improving the adsorption capacity of materials for pollutants by means of modification is an important direction in the research of water treatment technology. To improve the applicability of sodium alginate composites in the field of adsorption, magnetic sodium alginate-based hydrogel microsphere adsorbent material FeO@SA/PEI-Fe (FSPF) was synthesized in a single step by using polyethyleneimine grafting modification of sodium alginate by sol-gel method. The material was used for the removal of direct blue GL (DB 200) and direct date red B (DR 13) from simulated wastewater, as well as Cu(II) and Pb(II) from simulated wastewater with heavy metal ions.

The growing demand for novel enzyme producers to meet industrial and environmental needs has driven interest in lignocellulose-degrading fungi. In this study, lignocellulolytic enzyme production capabilities of environmental fungal isolates collected from boreal coniferous and nemoral summer green deciduous forests were investigated, using Congo Red, ABTS, and Azure B as indicators of cellulolytic and ligninolytic enzyme productions. Through qualitative and quantitative assays, the study aimed to identify promising species for lignocellulose-degrading enzyme secretion and assess their potential for biotechnological applications.

Recalcitrant pollutants are challenging to degrade during water treatment processes. Methylene blue (MB), a cationic dye, is particularly resistant to degradation and is environmentally persistent. Heterogeneous photocatalysis has emerged as a suitable strategy for removing such pollutants from water.

In this study, in situ-synthesized ZnO/g-CN based composites were used as photocatalysts for organic pollution removal. These nanocomposites were prepared through simple calcination of a mixture of melamine and ZnO nanoparticles and underwent comprehensive evaluation of their structural, morphological, optical, and photocatalytic properties, using various analytical techniques. As the g-CN content increased, the band gap decreased from 3.

Importance: Increasing evidence supports the oncologic safety of de-escalating axillary surgery for patients with breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
Objective: To evaluate the oncologic outcomes of de-escalating axillary surgery among patients with clinically node (cN)-positive breast cancer and patients whose disease became cN negative after NAC (ycN negative).
Design, Setting, And Participants: In the NEOSENTITURK MF-1803 prospective cohort registry trial, patients from 37 centers with cT1-4N1-3M0 disease treated with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) or targeted axillary dissection (TAD) alone or with ypN-negative or ypN-positive disease after NAC were recruited between February 15, 2019, and January 1, 2023, and evaluated.
