Insight on the deterioration of cultural objects: a multi-analytical approach to characterize degradation products of lead weights from a Steinway & amp; sons piano
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 14. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29790-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe identification of the degradation products in objects of cultural significance, including musical instruments (e.g., a piano), is a key issue for the preservation and valorisation processes of cultural heritage. The aim of this study is to characterize the degradation products of lead weights from an important Steinway & sons piano using a multi-analytical approach that includes ionic chromatography (IC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analyses. These techniques allowed...

Simultaneous degradation of microplastics and sludge during wet air oxidation
In this study, three common MPs (polyethylene, polystyrene, and polyethylene terephthalate, which are called PEMPs, PSMPs, and PETMPs) were added into the sludge samples (1 g MP in 180 mL sludge), to test the effects of WAO on sludge and MPs. The results showed that WAO simultaneously degraded sludge and the PEMPs, and the two degradation processes were relatively independent when oxygen was supplied adequately. The dissolution of PSMPs and organic matter in sludge was not affected by each other, but the degradation rate was slowed down due to the interaction of ketones and benzene compounds. The hydrolysis of sludge and P...

Sulfide recovery using fluidized bed homogeneous crystallization technology to produce nickel sulfide from wastewater that contains sulfides
In this study, FBHC is used to treat sulfur-containing synthetic wastewater. Furthermore, nickel-containing wastewater was utilized as a precipitant in the system, hence the advantage of simultaneous sulfur and nickel removal from the wastewater. The operating parameters, including pH, a precipitant dosage of [Ni2+]0/[S2-]0, and cross-sectional surface loading (LS, kg/m2h) are optimized. The optimum operating conditions of pH 9.8 ± 0.3, [Ni2+]0/[S2-]0 = 0.8, and LS = 1.5 kg/m2h results in total sulfur removal (TR) of 95.7% and crystallization ratio (CR) of 94.8%. The effect of organic compounds (acetic acid, oxalic acid, ...

Exogenous IAA application affects the specific characteristics of fluoranthene distribution in Arabidopsis
In this study, two distinct IAA-sensitive genotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana (wild type and Axr5 mutant) were chosen to investigate the mechanisms of fluoranthene (Flu) uptake and accumulation in plant tissues (roots and leaves) through physiological and molecular analyses. The results revealed that the Flu concentration in Axr5 leaves was significantly higher than that in wild-type (WT) leaves. In roots, the Flu content decreased significantly with increasing IAA treatment, while no significant changes were observed with lower IAA treatment. Principal component analysis demonstrated that Flu accumulation in Arabidopsis roo...

Insights into effects of operating temperature on the removal of pharmaceuticals/pesticides/synthetic organic compounds by membrane bioreactor process
In this study, the removal efficiency and mechanism of 8 kinds of typical micropollutants by membrane bioreactor (MBR) at different temperatures (i.e. 15, 25 and 35 °C) were investigated. MBR exhibited the high removal rate (>85%) for 3 kinds of industrial synthetic organic micropollutants (i.e. bisphenol A (BPA), 4-tert-octylphenol (TB) and 4-n-nonylphenol (NP)) with similar functional groups, structures and high hydrophobicity (Log D > 3.2). However, the removal rates of ibuprofen (IBU), carbamazepine (CBZ) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) with pharmaceutical activity showed great discrepancy (i.e. 93%, 14.2% and 29%, r...

Co-application of citric acid and Nocardiopsis sp. strain RA07 enhances phytoremediation potentiality of Sorghum bicolor L
This study investigated the combined effects of citric acid (CA) and Nocardiopsis sp. RA07 on the phytoremediation potential of lead (Pb)- and copper (Cu)-contaminated soils by Sorghum bicolor L. The strain RA07 was able to tolerate Pb and Cu, and exhibited plant growth-promoting features like siderophore production, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) synthesis, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase activity and phosphate solubilization. The combined application of CA and strain RA07 significantly increased S. bicolor growth, chlorophyll content and antioxidant enzymatic activity, and decreased oxidative stress (hydrog...

Endophytic Bacillus sp. AP10 harboured in Arabis paniculata mediates plant growth promotion and manganese detoxification
This study isolated an endophytic bacterium with high Mn resistance and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production form A. paniculata and identified it as Bacillus sp. AP10 using 16 S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. The effects of Bacillus sp. AP10 on the alleviation of Mn2+ toxicity in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings and the molecular mechanisms were further investigated using biochemical tests and RNA-seq analysis. Under Mn2+ stress, Bacillus sp. AP10 increased the biomass, chlorophyll content and the translocation factor (TF) values of Mn in the aerial parts, while decreased the malondialdehyde (MDA) content of A. thaliana see...

Method development and validation in the curry leaf matrix employing advanced mass spectrometry: quantitative screening of 490 multiclass pesticides by buffered ethyl acetate technique
J Environ Sci Health B. 2023 Jun 18:1-17. doi: 10.1080/03601234.2023.2221994. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCurry leaf is an evergreen herb with culinary, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical applications. As pesticide residue in curry leaf has garnered significant regulatory attention in recent years, here we report a reliable method, which was validated for the determination of 265 and 225 pesticides using LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS, respectively. At first, the sample was comminuted after adding water (1:2). The sample preparation workflow included extraction of 10 g homogenized sample with 10 mL ethyl acetate (+1% acetic acid),...
