AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The removal of V (V) and Pb (II) by TiO and ZnO nanoparticles from aqueous solution was studied with batch experiments. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the surface properties including functional groups of the adsorbent as well as to explore adsorption mechanisms. Factors influencing V (V) and Pb (II) removal such as initial metal ion concentration and contact time were investigated. The kinetics of V (V) and Pb (II) removal occurred quickly and > 90% of the metals was removed within 30 min for both nanoparticles. Maximum adsorption of V (V) and Pb (II) onto TiO and ZnO nanoparticles was observed at temperature of 298 K and pH 6.5 ± 0.1. The removal characteristics of the metals by the two nanoparticles were similar. A comparison of the kinetic models against experimental data showed that the kinetics react system was best described by the pseudo-second-order model. V (V) and Pb (II) reacted with functional groups, which led to the formation of polytype Pb-O bond and hydroxyl-vanadium complexes. The experimental data also confirmed the formation of heavy metal-OH sorption complexes on the adsorbent surfaces. This research enhanced current understanding of the removal of V (V) and Pb (II) by nanosized TiO and ZnO from contaminated water.

(1) Background: The widespread use of nanoparticles (NPs) implies their inevitable contact with living organisms, including aquatic microorganisms, making it essential to understand the effects and consequences of this interaction. Understanding the adaptive responses and biochemical changes in microalgae and cyanobacteria under NP-induced stress is essential for developing biotechnological strategies that optimize biomolecule production while minimizing potential toxicity. This study aimed to evaluate the interactions between various potentially toxic nanoparticles and the cyanobacterial strain , focusing on the biological adaptations and biochemical mechanisms that enable the organism to withstand xenobiotic exposure.

CO hydrogenation to methanol using green hydrogen derived from renewable resources provides a promising method for sustainable carbon cycle but suffers from high selectivity towards byproduct CO. Here, we develop an efficient PdZn-ZnO/TiO catalyst by engineering lattice dislocation structures of TiO support. We discover that this modification orders irregularly arranged atoms in TiO to stabilize crystal lattice, and consequently weakens electronic interactions with supported active phases.

Lincomycin belongs to the antibiotics commonly used in veterinary medicine. Its residues are easily spread in the environment because of its physicochemical properties, including resistance to biodegradation and good solubility in water. One of the effective methods for the removal of lincomycin from wastewater is the photocatalytic process, but it is not widely used due to the price of photocatalysts.

Currently, there is great demand for flexible three-dimensional (3D) printable thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) wires with excellent ultraviolet (UV) resistance, which have broad application prospects in wearable products. In this study, UV-resistant TPU composites were obtained using a blending modification method. The relationship between the optimized parameters of fused deposition modeling 3D printing and mechanical properties of the TPU composite is discussed using an orthogonal test.
