In the paper results of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) measurements of Al and Si content in aqueous solutions are presented. Calibration curves exhibit good linearity and satisfying R coefficients of determination (over 0.99). The calibration procedures were next used for the determination of Al and Si concentration in biological material transferred into water solutions of unknown Al and Si content. Obtained data were verified by the AAS method (atomic absorption spectrometry). Measurement results showed good conformity. The LIBS spectra were also processed using Factorial Analysis (FA). It was found for Si samples that instead of a classic approach based on the selection of a particular spectral line for the calibration the FA makes possible the use of entire spectra to obtain quantitative information on the investigated material.

The utilization of cyanobacteria toxin-producing blooms for metal ions adsorption has garnered significant attention over the last decade. This study investigates the efficacy of dead cells from Microcystis aeruginosa blooms, collected from agricultural drainage water reservoir, in removing of cadmium, lead, and zinc ions from aqueous solutions, and simultaneously addressing the mitigation of toxin-producing M. aeruginosa bloom.

Background: Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), one of the most harmful members of the large group of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), is notorious for its environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxic effects, raising serious environmental and health concerns. Developing rapid and sensitive methods to detect PFOS in water is critical for effective monitoring and protection against this hazardous chemical.
Results: In this study, we developed rapid and highly sensitive fluorometric sensors (PDI-2+ , PDI-6+ ) for detecting PFOS.

A comprehensive study was conducted to determine the effects of water and ethylene glycol (EG) on biomass pretreatment using a binary deep eutectic solvent (DES) containing choline chloride and acetic acid (1ChCl3AC) at a mole ratio of 1:3. Different quantities of water and EG were combined with 1ChCl3AC to pretreat wheat straw, miscanthus, eucalyptus, and sorghum stalk at 130 °C for 6 h. The changes in nanopore structure and surface roughness of wet biomass, as well as biomass crystallinity after 1ChCl3AC-based pretreatment were investigated using XRD and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS).

In this study, the interaction of waste snake skin (Periostracum serpentis), a keratin-based biowaste composite material, with uranyl ions, the predominant form of uranium in aqueous solutions, was investigated to determine whether it could be used as an adsorbent. SEM, FTIR, BET and EDX analyses were performed to elucidate the material's surface and structural properties. The effects of the amount of adsorbent, uranyl ion concentration, pH, temperature, and adsorption time were investigated to optimize uranium removal with this material.

ConspectusZinc metal batteries (ZMBs) appear to be promising candidates to replace lithium-ion batteries owing to their higher safety and lower cost. Moreover, natural reserves of Zn are abundant, being approximately 300 times greater than those of Li. However, there are some typical issues impeding the wide application of ZMBs.
