The purpose of this study was to prepare a kind of novel pH-response dietary fiber from chitosan-coated konjac glucomannan (KGM) powders (KGM/Chitosan or K/C powders) by a physical grind method. The K/C powders were selectively soluble in aqueous solutions of different pH. Meanwhile, the coated chitosan could largely decrease the viscosity of KGM in neutral condition, which is the main limitation for KGM application in food industry. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), swelling ability and rheological measurements were utilized to characterize the performance of K/C powders. K/C powders exhibited much higher viscosity and swelling ability in acidic condition than in neutral condition. Therefore, this study will extend the application of KGM in food industry and in other pH-specific applications as well.

Irritant-induced asthma (IIA) may develop after acute inhalational exposure in individuals without preexisting asthma. The effect of bronchial thermoplasty to treat intractable, worsening IIA has not yet been described. We evaluated a previously healthy 52-year-old man after inhalation of an unknown white powder.

Due to rapid socioeconomic development, increased phosphorus concentrations can cause eutrophication of water bodies, with devastating effects on environmental sustainability and aquatic ecosystems. In this study, ZIF-8-PhIm was prepared for phosphorus removal using 2-phenylimidazole via the solvent-assisted ligand exchange (SALE) method. The structure and composition of ZIF-8-PhIm were characterized by various methods, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis.

Nowadays, the presence of humic acid (HA) in water sources is highly regarded due to the production of extremely harmful byproducts such as trihalomethanes. In this study, the effectiveness of an AgPO/TiO catalyst produced by in situ precipitation as a heterogeneous catalyst for the degradation of humic acid in the existence of visible and solar light was evaluated. The AgPO/TiO catalyst's structure was characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), after which the catalyst dosage, HA concentration, and pH parameters were adjusted.
