In the background of severe water pollution, adsorption is a charming technique for heavy metal remediation. In this work, NiFeO decorated chitosan-graphene oxide (NFCG) was prepared by simple hydrothermal method for Co(II) remediation application. Adsorption mechanism was elaborately elucidated based on multiple evidences extracted from adsorption fitting (isotherms, thermodynamics and kinetics), spectroscopic test (XPS, UV-Vis absorption, fluorescent emission and Raman spectra) and the hard-soft acid-base (HSAB) theory inspection. Result shows, for Co(II) with initial concentration 200 mg·L, NFCG with dosage 500 mg·L reaches adsorption equilibrium in 24 min, rendering removal percentage and adsorption amount 96.87 % and 387.48 mg·g, respectively. Owing to the efficient recovery enabled by paramagnetism, NFCG keeps adsorption amount 311.01 mg·g for Co(II) after six consecutive cycles. Moreover, NFCG exhibits selectivity towards Co(II) under the coexistence of common interfering substances. Adsorption fitting suggests chemical adsorption based on heterogeneous affinity. Spectroscopic analysis discloses, CO, CO, -C(=O)NH-, OH and aromatic part contribute to Co(II) adsorption via electron donation, forming CoO bond. This atomic scale adsorption mechanism was substantiated by HSAB theory calculation. In brief, this work provides basic knowledge and technical support for fabricating high efficiency magnetic bio adsorbent.

In this study, we utilized drinking water treatment sludge (WTS) to produce adsorbents through the drying and calcination process. These adsorbents were then evaluated for their ability to remove azithromycin (AZT) from aqueous solutions. The L-500 adsorbent, derived from the calcination (at 500°C) of WTS generated under conditions of low turbidity in the drinking water treatment plant, presented an increase in the specific surface area from 70.

Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation play a pivotal role in pathomechanisms of brain ischemia. Our research aimed to formulate a nanotheranostic system for delivering carnosic acid as a neuroprotective agent with anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties to ischemic brain tissue, mimicked by organotypic hippocampal cultures (OHCs) exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). In the first part of this study, the nanocarriers were formulated by encapsulating two types of nanocores (nanoemulsion (AOT) and polymeric (PCL)) containing CA into multilayer shells using the sequential adsorption of charged nanoobjects method.

Water contamination by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), particularly naphthalene, is a serious environmental concern due to its persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity. This study explores the adsorption behavior of naphthalene using organobentonite (OBt), synthesized by intercalating cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) into sodium bentonite (SBt) with varying cation exchange capacities (CECs). The effectiveness of OBt in naphthalene adsorption was evaluated by analyzing key parameters, including CEC, contaminant concentration, and contact time.

Flotation is an interfacial process involving gas, liquid, and solid phases, where polar ionic promoters significantly influence both gas-liquid and solid-liquid interfaces during low-rank coal (LRC) flotation. This study examines how the structures of hydrophilic groups in cation-anion mixed promoters affect the interfacial flotation performance of LRC pulp using flotation tests, surface tension tests, wetting heat tests, and molecular dynamics simulations. Results indicate that cation-anion mixed promoters enhance the LRC floatability to varying degrees.

Gold (Au) nanoclustersare promising photocatalysts for biomedicine, sensing, and environmental remediation. However, the short carrier lifetime, inherent instability, and unclear charge transfer mechanism hinder their application. Herein, the Au nanoclusters decorated with three different isomers of o-Aminophenol, m-Aminophenol, and p-Aminophenol are synthesized, namely o-Au, m-Au, and p-Au, which achieve efficient hydrogen peroxide (HO) photoproduction through two-step one-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).
