Simultaneous Removal of Antibiotics and Heavy Metals with Poly(Aspartic Acid)-Based Fenton Micromotors

The discharge of diverse pollutants has led to a complex water environment and posed a huge health threat to humans and animals. Self-propelled micromotors have recently attracted considerable attention for efficient water remediation due to their strong localized mass transfer effect. However, a single functionalized component is difficult to tackle with multiple contaminants and requires to combine different decontamination effects together. Here, we introduced a multifunctional micromotor to implement the adsorption and degradation roles simultaneously by integrating the poly(aspartic acid) (PASP) adsorbent with a MnO₂-based catalyst. The as-prepared micromotors are well propelled in contaminated waters by MnO₂ catalyzing hydrogen peroxide. In addition, the catalytic ramsdellite MnO₂(R-MnO₂) inner layer is decorated with Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles to improve their catalytic performance, contributing to an excellent degradation ability with 90% tetracycline (TC) removal in 50 minutes by enhanced Fenton-like reactions. Combining the attractive adsorption capability of poly (aspartic acid) (PASP), the composite micromotors offer an efficient removal of heavy metal ions in short time. Moreover, the designed micromotors are able to simultaneously remove antibiotic and heavy metals in mixed contaminants circumstance just in single treatment. This multifunctional micromotor with distinctive decontamination ability exhibits a promising prospective in treating multiple pollutants in the future.

Hydrogen peroxide-generating nanomedicine for enhanced chemodynamic therapy

Chemodynamic therapy(CDT) is an emerging endogenous stimulation activated tumor treatment approach that exploiting iron-containing nanomedicine as catalyst to convert hydrogen peroxide(H_2O_2)into toxic hydroxyl radical(·OH) through Fenton reaction.Due to the unique characteristics(weak acidity and the high H_2O_2 level) of the tumor microenvironment,CDT has advantages of high selectivity and low side effect.However,as an important substrate of Fenton reaction,the endogenous H_2O_2 in tumor is still insufficient,which may be an important factor limiting the efficacy of CDT.In order to optimize CDT,various H_2O_2-generating nanomedicines that can promote the production of H_2O_2 in tumor have been designed and developed for enhanced CDT.In this review,we summarize recently developed nanomedicines based on catalytic enzymes,nanozymes,drugs,metal peroxides and bacteria.Finally,the challenges and possible development directions for further enhancing CDT are prospected.     

Chemical ionization mass spectrometry of hydrofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbon ethers and perfluoroalkenes

Positive and negative chemical ionization (CI) mass spectrometry is studied for hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), hydrofluorocarbon ethers (HFEs), and perfluoroalkenes (PFCs) using various kinds of reagent gas. While no quasi-molecular ion was observed under electron impact ionization for saturated MFCs, [M-F]⁺ is detected under CI conditions using methane as a reagent gas. Mechanisms for the generation of [M-F]⁺ are discussed. Furthermore, nitrogen monoxide can be used as a reagent gas to observe [M + NO]⁺ for many HFCs and HFEs. In negative mode chloroform is also available to generate [M + Cl]⁻ for HFCs and HFEs containing -CHF- groups.

Furthermore, the ion source temperature effect on the DME CI is also investigated.     

五氯苯酚降解的超声诱导

人为或自然因素会导致挥发性或不挥发有毒有机物存在于饮用水中,这一现象 已成为国际上共同关心的问题。从长期对健康状况来说,即使不能辨别饮用水中的 味道和气味,但只要有十亿分之几毫克的有毒有机物存在,就足以使水不能饮用。 所以,废水处理刻不容缓。同废水处理相关的实验方法中,超声作为一种处理方法 ,早有报道,因为超声化学效应主要是空化,空化是自由基,特别是羟基自由基产 生的根源,而痉基自由基是强烈而非特殊的氧化物,它能迅速同水中化合物发生反 应。作者以五氯苯酚为模拟水样,分别用低频（16 kHz）和高频[（800 ± 1） kHz]以及其组合进行超声降解研究。研究表明复频降解效果最好,最差为低频。在 Fenton类试剂存在下,与Fenton类单独降解效果相比,复频则是它的20.93倍,高 频是它的4.9倍,低频与它几乎无变化。实验表明,频率组合对有机污染物的降解 是一条有效途径,但需要更进一步的研究。     

Determination of C1−C4 fatty acids as p-bromophenacyl esters using glass-capillary gas chromatography and electron-capture detection

Summary A method for the determination of low relative molecular mass carboxylic acids (C₁–C₄) in water is reported. The acids are converted to p-bromophenacyl esters prior to a glass-capillary gas chromatographic separation. By utilizing electron-caputre detection the detectability is substantially improved compared to flame-ionization detection. A comparison of three different ways to treat the water samples and to produce the derivatives is made. It is shown that the , p-dibromoacetophenone reagent decomposes to a small extent which limits the utility of the reagent. Nevertheless a detection limit for formic acid of approximately 2.5 mgl^–1 is obtained. The method is applied to the determination of formic and acetic acids in a paper kraft water sample.

Lanthanide Shift Reagents. Paper 18. Equilibrium Binding Constants for Europium Shift Reagent with Nitrogen Heterocycles

Paper 16 in this series^{1, 2, 3} was concerned with the equilibrium binding constants (K) of the shift reagent Europium tris (2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylheptane-3, 5-dionate), Eu(thd)₃, with primary, secondary and tertiary amines. One nitrogen heterocycle, pyridine, and two of its derivatives (see Table) were included. In the present paper we describe the binding constants for a further 9 nitrogen containing heterocycles and relate these to basicity and steric effects.
