Effective adsorption of Hg(II) ions by new ethylene imine polymer/β-cyclodextrin crosslinked functionalized magnetic composite

A new effective magnetic composite material was prepared successfully for adsorption Hg(II) ions by introducing β-cyclodextrin/ethylene imine polymer to the mesoporous silica. The morphology and structure of EIP-β-CD magnetic adsorbents were characterized by FT-IR, XR, DTG, XPS and SEM technologies. The effect of many factors were discussed detailedly such as adsorption time, initial concentration, pH, different composition of adsorbent and adsorption temperature. It was found that EIP-β-CD showed excellent adsorption capacity, high selectivity, good reutilization and fast adsorption rate. The maximum adsorption capacity was 248.72 mg/g and the best removal rate was 99.49 % under the optimized experimental conditions. The kinetic and thermodynamic study showed typical characteristic of chemical adsorption, exothermic and spontaneous. The best mass proportion of β-cyclodextrin, ethylene imine polymer and glutaraldehyde was 1.0:0.4:0.2, and proper β-cyclodextrin can develop the adsorption capacity for Hg(II) ions in this adsorbent. The possible adsorption mechanism was investigated in detail. After the fifth cycle experiment, this new adsorbent still showed excellent adsorption capacity which indicated that it has great potential for Hg(II) ions cleanup in water solution.

Dragon Fruit Foliage: An Agricultural Cellulosic Source to Extract Cellulose Nanomaterials

In this report, we focus our effort to extract cellulose nanomaterials (CNs) from an agricultural cellulosic waste, Dragon Fruit foliage (DFF). DFF was first pretreated by several mechanical treatments and then bleached by chemical treatment to obtain bleached DFF. CNs were then produced from the hydrolysis of the bleached DFF catalyzed by sulfuric acid. We obtained CNs with a small diameter (50 to 130 nm) and length (100 to 500 nm) and a height of 3 to 10 nm. The CNs have a high crystallinity (crystallinity index 84.8%), high −COOH content (0.74 mmol·g⁻¹), good thermal stability and a good Cu (II) adsorption capacity with an adsorption maximum of ~103 mg·g⁻¹. These findings demonstrated the great potential of converting many agricultural cellulosic wastes into valuable cellulose nanomaterials.     

Amperometric Biosensors Based on Direct Electron Transfer Enzymes

The accurate determination of analyte concentrations with selective, fast, and robust methods is the key for process control, product analysis, environmental compliance, and medical applications. Enzyme-based biosensors meet these requirements to a high degree and can be operated with simple, cost efficient, and easy to use devices. This review focuses on enzymes capable of direct electron transfer (DET) to electrodes and also the electrode materials which can enable or enhance the DET type bioelectrocatalysis. It presents amperometric biosensors for the quantification of important medical, technical, and environmental analytes and it carves out the requirements for enzymes and electrode materials in DET-based third generation biosensors. This review critically surveys enzymes and biosensors for which DET has been reported. Single- or multi-cofactor enzymes featuring copper centers, hemes, FAD, FMN, or PQQ as prosthetic groups as well as fusion enzymes are presented. Nanomaterials, nanostructured electrodes, chemical surface modifications, and protein immobilization strategies are reviewed for their ability to support direct electrochemistry of enzymes. The combination of both biosensor elements—enzymes and electrodes—is evaluated by comparison of substrate specificity, current density, sensitivity, and the range of detection.

Enantioseparation/Recognition based on nano techniques/materials

Enantiomers show different behaviors in interaction with the chiral environment. Due to their identical chemical structure and their wide application in various industries, such as agriculture, medicine, pesticide, food, and so forth, their separation is of great importance. Today, the term “nano” is frequently encountered in all fields. Technology and measuring devices are moving towards miniaturization, and the usage of nanomaterials in all sectors is expanding substantially. Given that scientists have recently attempted to apply miniaturized techniques known as nano-liquid chromatography/capillary-liquid chromatography, which were originally accomplished in 1988, as well as the widespread usage of nanomaterials for chiral resolution (back in 1989), this comprehensive study was developed. Searching the terms “nano” and “enantiomer separation” on scientific websites such as Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science yields articles that either use miniaturized instruments or apply nanomaterials as chiral selectors with a variety of chemical and electrochemical detection techniques, which are discussed in this article.
