We have developed a simple, rapid and cost-effective Dual-channel "colorimetric and absorbance" sensor using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) capped Rhodamine6g (Rh6G) dye composite. Dye-doped polymer composite probe (PVPRH) exhibit intense, narrow absorption properties and long-term stability than the bare Rh6G. The probe's colorimetric relationship with pH was demonstrated by absorption titration. The PVPRH provides a sensitive dual channel method for the determination of sulfide and bicarbonate with colorimetric response and absorption quenching. The synthesized probe, as a two-faced, exhibited remarkable colorimetric responses from orange to pale yellow in the presence of S and orange to soft pink in the presence of HCO ion, which can be observed by the naked eye also. Under optimal conditions, the relative absorption intensity decreases with increasing ion concentration of sulfide and bicarbonate ions. This trend is observed within the probe solution concentration range of 5 mM to 50 mM. The Dye-doped polymer composite probe is easy, cost effective, rapid, and has real time detection capability for sulfide and bicarbonate ions. The composite probe is stable and optically modified and can be successfully used for detections of S and HCO ions as strip senor.

The excessive accumulation of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in the environment poses a risk to environment and human health. In the present study, a potassium bicarbonate-modified pyrite/porous biochar composite (PKBC) was prepared in a one-step process and applied for the efficient removal of Cr(VI) in wastewater. The results showed that PKBC can significantly remove Cr(VI) within 4 h over a wide range of pH (2-11).

Background: Inappropriate matching of motor and sensory fibers after nerve repair or grafting can lead to nerve recovery failure. Identifying the motor and sensory fascicles enables surgeons to match them accurately and correctly align nerve stumps, which is crucial for neural regeneration. Very few methods have been reported to differentiate between the sensory and motor nerve fascicles, and the replicability of these techniques remains unestablished.

A steady-state pH-control model for the biological production of elemental sulfur from sulfate in mining-influenced water.

Water Res

February 2024

Biodesign Swette Center for Environmental Biotechnology, Biodesign Institute, Arizona State University, P.O. Box 875701, Tempe, AZ 85287-5701, USA.

We developed a model to predict pH, alkalinity, and the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) in coupled systems of hydrogen-based autotrophic sulfate reduction and aerobic oxidation of sulfide to elemental sulfur. To neutralize the biologically generated base, the model allows for the addition of CO as part of the gas mixture, the independent addition of HCl or CO, or a combination of the alternatives. The model was evaluated against the results from a laboratory system for the production of elemental sulfur from sulfate present in mine-tailings water, which is characterized by the presence of elevated sulfate and calcium concentrations.

Carbon dioxide and kimchi odor compounds, formed during fermentation, negatively affect the long-distance distribution of commercial kimchi. To address these issues, in this study, we modified different porous media (activated carbon, bleaching earth, diatomite, and zeolite) using sodium bicarbonate and silver (Ag) ions. Functional sheets were prepared using linear low-density polyethylene, calcium hydroxide, a porous medium, and a blowing agent.
