Published: October 2022

The Rigid Adsorbent Lattice Fluid model has been shown to comply with all the requirements for thermodynamic consistency in the case of an adsorbent that does not undergo structural changes. This is achieved by introducing a correction to the reduced density function that multiplies the combinatorial term. A procedure to calculate the predicted adsorbed mixture activity coefficients has been presented that allows the production of excess Gibbs energy plots at a constant reduced grand potential. The predicted nonideality is structurally consistent with the Non-Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory of Myers in terms of both its dependence on concentration and reduced grand potential. The ability to generate excess Gibbs energy values allows linking the new Rigid Adsorbent Lattice Fluid model to the traditional Real Adsorbed Solution Theory providing an alternative approach to predicting multicomponent adsorption based solely on pure component data.

The incorporation of photoactive organic dyes into layered inorganic materials enhances their optical and chemical properties, making them ideal for sensing applications. In this study, Bisindolyl methane (BIM)-based neutral probes were integrated with bentonite clay to explore their sensing capabilities. Probe 1 (unoxidized BIM) and Probe 2 (oxidized BIM) generally exhibited quenched luminescence in solution due to intramolecular rotations.

An aptamer sensor based on AgNPs@MOF for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy detection of sulfadimethoxine in food.

A highly sensitive aptamer sensor (aptasensor) is proposed based on metal-organic frameworks-silver nanoparticles (AgNPs@MOF) to detect sulfadimethoxine (SDM) by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). AgNPs@MOF with SERS activity was successfully fabricated by synthesizing AgNPs in situ on the surface of MIL-101(Fe), and SDM aptamer and Raman reporter 4-aminophenthiophenol (4-ATP) were selected as specific recognition elements and signal probes, respectively. When SDM was absent, the SDM aptamers were effectively adsorbed on the surface of AgNPs@MOF, thus keeping AgNPs@MOF in a dispersed state, resulting in a weakened SERS signal of 4-ATP.

Synthesis of porous carbon xerogel adsorbents with tailored hierarchical porosity and morphology for the selective removal of sulfamethoxazole from water.

Article Synopsis
  • Pellet-type carbon xerogel adsorbents (CXCs) were created using a sol-gel process with resorcinol, formaldehyde, and CsCO as a catalyst, aimed at removing the pollutant sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from water.
  • The different R/Cs ratios used (100, 500, 1000, 2000) produced CXCs with varying porous structures; notably, CXCs100 had the highest adsorption capacity of 87.8 mg/g, but this capacity decreased with higher R/Cs ratios due to reduced pore volume.
  • CXCs500 was identified as the most efficient adsorbent with a good balance of adsorption capacity (72.0 mg/g)

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on how the surface protein corona (PC) of nanomaterials, particularly nano-FeO surfaces, affects their biological identity, highlighting the need to characterize these PCs in situ.
  • Researchers used advanced techniques like time-limited proteolysis and mass spectrometry to analyze the spatial layout and molecular orientation of proteins in the PC over different time intervals.
  • They discovered various protein interactions primarily driven by charge complementarity and that certain structural conformations of proteins change due to nanoparticle interactions, providing new insights into how PCs form.
