Beneficiation wastewater contains various types of pollutants, such as heavy metal ions and organic pollutants. In this work, a silica-based amphiphilic block copolymer, SiO-g-PBMA-b-PDMAEMA, was obtained by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) for Cu(II) and sodium oleate adsorption in beneficiation wastewater, using butyl methacrylate (BMA) as a hydrophobic monomer and 2-(dimethylamino)ethylmethacrylate (DMAEMA) as a hydrophilic monomer. FTIR, TGA, NMR, GPC, XRD, N adsorption-desorption isotherms and TEM were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the hybrid adsorbent. The introduction of PBMA greatly increased the adsorption of sodium oleate on SiO-g-PBMA-b-PDMAEMA. Adsorption kinetics showed that the adsorption of Cu(II) or sodium oleate on SiO-g-PBMA-b-PDMAEMA fitted the pseudo-second-order model well. Adsorption isotherms of Cu(II) on SiO-g-PBMA-b-PDMAEMA were better described by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model, and sodium oleate on SiO-g-PBMA-b-PDMAEMA was better described by the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity of Cu(II) and sodium oleate calculated from Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation reached 448.43 mg·g and 129.03 mg·g, respectively. Chelation and complexation were considered as the main driving forces of Cu(II) adsorption, and the van der Waals force as well as weak hydrogen bonds were considered the main driving forces of sodium oleate adsorption. The adsorbent was recyclable and showed excellent multicomponent adsorption for Cu(II) and sodium oleate in the mixed solution. SiO-g-PBMA-b-PDMAEMA represents a satisfying adsorption material for the removal of heavy metal ions and organic pollutants in beneficiation wastewater.

Exploration of solubilisation effects facilitated by the combination of Soluplus® with ionic surfactants.

Eur J Pharm Sci

November 2024

Roche Pharmaceutical Research & Early Development, preclinical CMC, Roche Innovation Center Basel, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Grenzacherstrasse 124, Basel, CH-4070, Basel City, Switzerland.

Preclinical testing of new drug candidates frequently necessitates high-dose solution formulations to support robust testing in rodent models. This study aimed to expand the range of high solubilisation capacity formulations by exploring the solubilisation effects of the polymeric surfactant Soluplus® in combination with ionic surfactants. The interactions between Soluplus® and three ionic surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulphate, dioctyl sodium succinate, and sodium oleate, with a primary focus on solubility enhancement were investigated over a range of ionic surfactant concentrations.

Obesity is a major public health problem and is a major contributor to the development of insulin resistance. In previous studies we observed that single-wavelength red or infrared photobiomodulation (PBM) improved insulin signaling in adipocytes and skeletal muscle of mice fed a high-fat diet, but information about the combination of different wavelengths, as well as the effect of different light doses (J/cm) is lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different doses of dual-wavelength PBM on insulin signaling in muscle cell, and explore potential mechanisms involved.
