Ferrate(VI) is an efficient multi-functional water treatment reagent that has several novel properties, such as strong oxidation, absorption, flocculation, disinfection and deodorization. The removal of cationic surfactants based on ferrate (K2FeO4) was performed in the case of cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB). The influence of operating variables on the mineralization efficiency was studied as a function of ferrate dosage, initial pH and reaction time. Total organic carbon (TOC), UV and infrared spectra were performed to gain a better understanding of the degradation process. Results show that the optimal treatment conditions are as follows, solution initial pH is over 5, oxidation time is 5 min and ferrate dosage is 1.5 times that of CPB. The removal efficiency of CPB above 99% and TOC removal percentage of 91.3% can be achieved in minutes. The reaction of CPB with K2FeO4 responds to a second-order kinetic law.

In this study, kapok fiber (KF) a hollow and hydrophobic fiber, was modified with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) or cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), rendering adsorbed amount of ∼0.75 × 10 mol/g. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements of dry KF/CTAB and KF/CPC evidenced a periodic distance of ∼2.

The relevance of active research lies in the need to develop new technologies to improve drug delivery methods for the effective treatment of wound healing. Additionally, the potential application of organogels in other areas of biomedicine, such as creating medical patches with controlled drug delivery, indicates a wide range of possibilities for using this technology. This study focuses on developing controlled drug delivery systems using organogels as carriers for ceftriaxone and ofloxacin.

Lead (Pb), a persistent and bio-accumulative contaminant, poses threats to the environment and human health. The effective removal of Pb from contaminated soil proves challenging due to its tendency to form stable complexes with soil components. Chelators have been extensively studied for their ability to extract metal contaminants, including Pb, from soil environment.

The emergence of plasmid-encoded colistin resistance mechanisms, MCR-1, a phosphoethanolamine transferase, rendered colistin ineffective as last resort antibiotic against severe infections caused by clinical Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. Through screening FDA-approved drug library, we identified two structurally similar compounds, namely cetylpyridinium chloride (CET) and domiphen bromide (DOM), which potentiated colistin activity in both colistin-resistant and susceptible Enterobacterales. These compounds were found to insert their long carbon chain to a hydrophobic pocket of bacterial phosphoethanolamine transferases including MCR-1, competitively blocking the binding of lipid A tail for substrate recognition and modification, resulting in the increase of bacterial sensitivity to colistin.
