In this work, we applied a novel dithiocarbamate-grafted star-like polymer for efficient reclamation of cationic dyes. This material is highly selective towards cationic dyes and almost completely rejective to anionic dyes. The adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics were systematically investigated to analyze the adsorption behavior of cationic dyes onto the material. As compared with other reported adsorbents, this cheap and facilely-prepared material has exceptional adsorption capacities for industrial cationic dyes, e.g., methylene blue (MB, 2624 mg/g), crystal violet (CV, 2553 mg/g), basic fuchsin (BF, 1729 mg/g), and methylene violet 3RAX (MV, 1239 mg/g), being 5-11 times of that reported in literatures. Based on the effects of pH and ionic strength on adsorption, competitive adsorption of the cationic dyes, and FTIR characterization, mechanisms for the adsorption and desorption of cationic dyes were proposed. The adsorbed dyes can be recovered over 95% just by immersing into diluted HCl solution (0.01 M) for 10 min, thus avoiding organic solvent extraction. Over 98% of the adsorption capacity was maintained during consecutive reclamation operation. Due to the high selectivity, high adsorption capacity and the ease of efficient regeneration, this material is potentially applicable for targeted reclamation of cationic dyes from dyeing wastewater.

This study investigates simple acetylenes substituted with phenylurea as a constant H-bonding unit (Alk-R) and varied hydrophobic units (R = H, Phenyl (Ph), Phenylacetylene (PA), Ph-NMe2) to understand self-assembly properties driven by synergistic non-covalent interactions. Our observations reveal hierarchical self-assembled fibrillar networks with luminescent needles, fibers, and flowers on nano- to micro-meter scales. Subtle changes in substituents led to significant differences: H, Ph, PA, and Ph-NMe2 produced needle-like crystals, dendritic nanofibers, microflakes, and no self-assembly, respectively.

The remediation of wastewaters contaminated with dyes (discharged mainly from industry) is very important for preserving environmental quality and human health. In this study, a new composite chitosan (CS)-based adsorbent combined with activated carbon (AC) and curcumin (Cur) (abbreviated hereafter as CS/AC@Cur) in three different ratios (12.5%, 25%, and 50%) was synthesized for the removal of anionic [reactive black 5 (RB5)] and cationic [methylene blue (MB)] dyes in single-component or binary systems.

A novel synthesis of a nanometric MCM-41 from biogenic silica obtained from rice husk is here presented. CTABr and Pluronic F127 surfactants were employed as templating agents to promote the formation of a long-range ordered 2D-hexagonal structure with cylindrical pores and to limit the particle growth at the nanoscale level thus resulting in a material with uniform particle size of 20-30 nm. The physico-chemical properties of this sample (RH-nanoMCM) were investigated through a multi-technique approach, including PXRD, Si MAS NMR, TEM, -potential and N physisorption analysis at 77 K.

Context: Natural fluorapatite (FAP) has been investigated as an adsorbent for the removal of dyes such as methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV) from aqueous solutions. Effective dye removal is crucial for water treatment, particularly for industrial wastewater containing toxic dyes. FAP, a naturally abundant material, was characterized using XRD, FTIR, and SEM analysis.

In recent years, the use of cationic peptides as alternative drugs with anticancer activity has received attention. In this study, the targeted release of curcumin (Cur) and CM11 peptide alone and together against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was evaluated using chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs) coated with Pres1 that target the SB3 antigen of HCC cells (PreS1-Cur-CM11-CS NPs). SB3 protein is the specific antigen of HCC and the PreS1 peptide is a part of the hepatitis B antigen, which can specifically bind to the SB3 protein.
