Stable and spherical LMNPs with an appropriate negative zeta potential and a relatively high thermal stability were obtained from the corncob residue and pine wood, which can serve as functional materials in various application areas.Fabrication of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based multifunctional sensors for various environmental pollutants represents a promising solution to the development of novel monitoring technologies. In this work, a dual responsive sensor of UiO-66-MA has been efficiently fabricated via post-modification of the UiO-66-MOF with maleic anhydride (MA), and dual detection of H2S and Cu2+ in aquatic environments has been achieved tandemly. UiO-66-MA could selectively undergo Michael addition with H2S accompanying a linear fluorescence turn-on behavior. The sensing is highly sensitive and selective, and the detection limit value of 3.3 nM represents the lowest record among all MOF-based H2S sensing researches. Moreover, an alternative sensor for Cu2+ could be further tandemly afforded after the H2S sensing. The H2S added product of UiO-66-MA/H2S exhibits selective fluorescence quenching towards Cu2+ with a detection limit as low as 2.6 nM. UiO-66-MA exhibits dual sensing functions for H2S and Cu2+ following a tandem process based on combinatorial principles of Michael addition and S-Cu coordination. Evaluation studies suggest the promising potentials of UiO-66-MA in determining the level of H2S and Cu2+ in aquatic environment, and the tandemly derived dual sensing functions demonstrate the advantages of developing multifunctional MOF sensors based on combinatorial principles.Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) ZIF-67-derived Co3O4-C@FeOOH composite was prepared, characterized and used as an efficinet catalyst for ozonation of norfloxacin (NOF). Results showed that ZIF-67-derived Co3O4-C composite maintained the polyhedral structure of ZIF-67. After modification, abundant amorphous FeOOH nanowire attached on the surface of Co3O4-C composite, resulting in Co3O4-C@FeOOH interwoven polyhedrons. Furthermore, the specific surface area of the formed composite was about 2.5 times that of Co3O4-C composite, which might provide more active sites for catalytic reaction. Sunvozertinib Compared with single ozonation system, the catalytic ozonation process (Co3O4-C@FeOOH/O3) had better performance in NOF mineralization under the same operating conditions. Moreover, in the presence of Co3O4-C@FeOOH, faster O3 decomposition and higher •OH concentration were observed, which could explain the significant enhancement of TOC removal. The co-existence of Fe and Co in various valence states in catalyst might improve the conversion of Co(III)/Co(II) and Fe(III)/Fe(II), which would increase the catalytic activity in catalytic ozonation process. Besides, several main intermediate products were detected and possible NOF degradation pathway was proposed.Designing porous and functionalized adsorbents and achieving high efficiency in heavy metals removal from wastewater is in the spotlight of environmental science. On the other hand, upon removal, adsorbents are still highly hazardous requiring that great care be taken in its packaging, transporting and storing. A fundamental route in the synthesis of functional extended structures is the ability to combine different chemical entities in a controlled way in order to achieve high performance. Herein, we report the systematic design of dual-functionalized metal organic framework (TMU-81) by incorporating sulfonyl and amide groups for the removal of Cd(II), Cu(II) and Cr(II) ions from simulated aqueous solutions. TMU-81 showed significant enhancement in heavy metals uptake suggesting that the strong host - guest interactions between cations and the donor sites play a major role in adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacity for Cd2+ was 526 mg/g which is among the highest values reported for similar MOFs and other porous materials. The good performance in uptake and selectivity of TMU-81 can be attributed to the network structure that shaping the void, create mono-dimensional channels, decorated by exposed oxygen atom sites selective for Cadmium ion. Environmental "compatibility" of a treated MOFs was studied in order to evaluate its possible recycling as a new template for different applications by using pyrolysis method. Engineering of the pore surface provides a potential for MOF with a hybrid interface to act as a versatile tool for the design of multifunctional nanoparticles to meet specific application requirements.Microorganisms in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) can O-methylate toxic halophenols (HPs) into earthy-musty haloanisoles (HAs). However, the dominant HA-producing bacterial species and their O-methylation properties are still unknown. In this study, eight bacterial strains from DWDS were isolated and the community abundances of the related genera in bulk water and biofilms as well as their O-methylation properties were investigated. Among the genera discovered in this study, Sphingomonas and Pseudomonas are dominant and play important roles in DWDSs. All bacteria could simultaneously convert five HPs to the corresponding HAs. Two Sphingomonas ursincola strains mainly produced 2,3,6-trichloroanisole (2,3,6-TCA) (2.48 × 10-9-1.18 × 10-8 ng/CFU), 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (2,4,6-TCA) (8.12 × 10-10-3.11 × 10-9 ng/CFU) and 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (2,4,6-TBA) (2.95 × 10-9-3.21 × 10-9 ng/CFU), while two Pseudomonas moraviensis strains preferred to generate 2-monochloroanisole (2-MCA) (1.19 × 10-9-3.70 × 10-9 ng/CFU) and 2,4-dichloroanisole (2,4-DCA) (3.81 × 10-9-1.20 × 10-8 ng/CFU). Among the chloramphenicol-susceptible strains, four strains contained inducible O-methyltransferases (OMTs), while the O-methylations of the others were expressed constitutively. All bacteria could use S-adenosyl methionine as methyl donor. Potential taste and odor (T & O) risks of five HAs in DWDS followed an order of 2,4,6-TBA > 2,4,6-TCA > 2,3,6-TCA > 2,4-DCA > 2-MCA. The recommended 2,4,6-TCP criteria for T & O control is 0.003-0.07 mg/L.Fluorine-containing sludge from semiconductor industries were one kind of hazardous wastes, there was hardly effective treatment to realize its safe disposal and utilization. This paper evaluated the potential of preparing cement clinker by adding the sludge into raw meal by a series of experiments. The results revealed 2.0 % addition of the sludge markedly improved the burnability of the produced clinker, and promoted the formation of alite with more amounts and smaller size, but the 5.0 % addition of the sludge resulted in the abundant formation of interstitial phases to inhibit the formation of alite and belite. The better workability was gained with the addition of 2.0 %, and the optimal 28 d compressive strength was 50.76 MPa. The distribution of fluorine was higher in silicate phases, and it was mainly accumulated in the interfaces of silicate phases. Fluorine in the sludge was immobilized by calcium to form the binding forms of calcium fluoride in produced clinker and hydration products. The immobilization ratios of fluorine, copper, zinc and nickel were more than 99.
