Exploration of reaction rates of chlorine dioxide with tryptophan residue in oligopeptides and proteins

Chlorine dioxide (ClO₂), an alternative disinfectant to chlorine, has a superior ability to inactivate microorganisms, in which protein damage has been considered as the main inactivation mechanism. However, the reactivity of ClO₂ with amino acid residues in oligopeptides and proteins remains poorly investigated. In this research, we studied the reaction rate constants of ClO₂ with tryptophan residues in five heptapeptides and four proteins using stopped-flow or competition kinetic method. Each heptapeptide and protein contain only one tryptophan residue and the reactivity of tryptophan residue with ClO₂ was lower than that of free tryptophan (3.88 × 10⁴ (mol/L)^?1sec^?1 at pH 7.0). The neighboring amino acid residues affected the reaction rates through promoting inter-peptide aggregation, changing electron density, shifting pK_a values or inducing electron transfer via redox reactions. A single amino acid residue difference in oligopeptides can make the reaction rate constants differ by over 60% (e.g. 3.01 × 10⁴ (mol/L)^?1sec^?1 for DDDWNDD and 1.85 × 10⁴ (mol/L)^?1sec^?1 for DDDWDDD at pH 7.0 (D: aspartic acid, W: tryptophan, N: asparagine)). The reaction rates of tryptophan-containing oligopeptides were also highly pH-dependent with higher reactivity for deprotonated tryptophan than the neutral specie. Tryptophan residues in proteins spanned a 4-fold range reactivity toward ClO₂ (i.e. 0.84 × 10⁴ (mol/L)^?1sec^?1 for ribonuclease T1 and 3.21 × 10⁴ (mol/L)^?1sec^?1 for melittin at pH 7.0) with accessibility to the oxidant as the determinating factor. The local environment surrounding the tryptophan residue in proteins can also accelerate the reaction rates by increasing the electron density of the indole ring of tryptophan or inhibit the reaction rates by inducing electron transfer reactions. The results are of significance in advancing understanding of ClO₂ oxidative reactions with proteins and microbial inactivation mechanisms.     

Sorption kinetics of parent and substituted PAHs for low-density polyethylene (LDPE): Determining their partition coefficients between LDPE and water (KLDPE) for passive sampling

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) has been widely used as a sorbent for passive sampling of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) in aquatic environments. However, it has seen only limited application in passive sampling for measurement of freely dissolved concentrations of parent and substituted PAHs (SPAHs), which are known to be toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic. Here, the 16 priority PAHs and some typical PAHs were selected as target compounds and were simultaneously determined by gas chromatography–mass spectrometer (GC–MS). Some batch experiments were conducted in the laboratory to explore the adsorption kinetics of the target compounds in LDPE membranes. The results showed that both PAHs and SPAHs could reach equilibrium status within 19–38?days in sorption kinetic experiments. The coefficients of partitioning between LDPE film (50?μm thickness) and water (K_LDPE) for the 16 priority PAHs were in good agreement with previously reported values, and the values of K_LDPE for the 9 SPAHs are reported in this study for the first time. Significant linear relationships were observed, i.e., log K_LDPE?=?0.705?×?log K_OW?+?1.534 for PAHs (R²?=?0.8361, p?<?0.001) and log K_LDPE?=?0.458?×?log K_OW?+?3.092 for SPAHs (R²?=?0.5609, p?=?0.0077). The selected LDPE film was also proven to meet the condition of “zero sink” for the selected target compounds. These results could provide basic support for the configuration and in situ application of passive samplers.     

Comparison of UV and UV-LED activated sodium percarbonate for the degradation of O-desmethylvenlafaxine

As an active metabolite of venlafaxine and emerging antidepressant, O-desmethylvenlafaxine (ODVEN) was widely detected in different water bodies, which caused potential harm to human health and environmental safety. In this study, the comparative work on the ODVEN degradation by UV (254 nm) and UV-LED (275 nm) activated sodium percarbonate (SPC) systems was systematically performed. The higher removal rate of ODVEN can be achieved under UV-LED direct photolysis (14.99%) than UV direct photolysis (4.57%) due to the higher values of photolysis coefficient at the wavelength 275 nm. Significant synergistic effects were observed in the UV/SPC (80.38%) and UV-LED/SPC (53.57%) systems and the former exhibited better performance for the elimination of ODVEN. The degradation of ODVEN all followed the pseudo-first-order kinetics well in these processes, and the pseudo-first-order rate constant (k_obs) increased with increasing SPC concentration. Radicals quenching experiments demonstrated that both ·OH and CO₃·⁻ were involved in the degradation of ODVEN and the second-order rate constant of ODVEN with CO₃·⁻ (1.58 × 10⁸ (mol/L)⁻¹ sec⁻¹) was reported for the first time based on competitive kinetic method. The introduction of HA, Cl⁻, NO₃⁻ and HCO₃⁻ inhibited the ODVEN degradation to varying degrees in the both processes. According to quantum chemical calculation, radical addition at the ortho-position of the phenolic hydroxyl group was confirmed to be the main reaction pathways for the oxidation of ODVEN by ·OH. In addition, the oxidation of ODVEN may involve the demethylation, H-abstraction, OH-addition and C-N bond cleavage. Eventually, the UV-LED/SPC process was considered to be more cost-effective compared to the UV/SPC process, although the UV/SPC process possessed a higher removal rate of ODVEN.     

Energy-efficient removal of carbamazepine in solution by electrocoagulation-electrofenton using a novel P-rGO cathode

In this study, carbamazepine (CBZ) decay in solution has been studied by coupling electrocoagulation with electro-Fenton (EC-EF) with a novel P-rGO/carbon felt (CF) cathode, aiming to accelerate the in-situ generation of •OH, instead of adding Fe²⁺ and H₂O₂. Firstly, the fabricated P-rGO and its derived cathode were characterized by XRD, SEM, AFM, XPS and electrochemical test (EIS, CV and LSV). Secondly, it was confirmed that the performance in removal efficiency and electric energy consumption (EEC) by EC-EF (k_obs=0.124 min⁻¹, EEC=43.98 kWh/kg CBZ) was better than EF (k_obs=0.069 min⁻¹, EEC=61.04 kWh/kg CBZ). Then, P-rGO/CF (k_obs=0.248 min⁻¹, EEC=29.47 kWh/kg CBZ, CE=61.04%) showed the best performance in EC-EF, among all studied heteroatom-doped graphene/CF. This superior performance may be associated with its largest layer spacing and richest C=C, which can promote the electron transfer rate and conductivity of the cathode. Thus, more H₂O₂ and •OH could be produced to degrade CBZ, and almost 100% CBZ was removed with k_obs being 0.337 min⁻¹ and the EEC was only 24.18 kWh/kg CBZ, under the optimal conditions (P-rGO loading was 6.0 mg/cm², the current density was 10.0 mA/cm², the gap between electrode was 2.0 cm). Additionally, no matter the influent is acidic, neutral or alkaline, no additional pH adjustment is required for the effluent of EC-EF. At last, an inconsecutive empirical kinetic model was firstly established to predict the effect of operating parameters on CBZ removal.     

Effect of alkaline earth metal promoter on catalytic activity of MnO2 for the complete oxidation of toluene

Herein, Na⁺ and Ca²⁺ are introduced to MnO₂ through cation-exchange method. The presence of Na⁺ and Ca²⁺ significantly enhance the catalytic activity of MnO₂ in toluene oxidation. Among them, the Ca-MnO₂ catalyst exhibits the best catalytic activity (T₅₀ = 194°C, T₉₀ = 215°C, E_a = 57.2 kJ/mol, reaction rate 8.40 × 10^?10 mol/(sec?m²) at 210°C. T₅₀ and T₉₀: the temperature of 50% and 90% toluene conversion; E_a: apparent activation energy) and possess high tolerance against 2.0 vol.% water vapor. Results reveal that the increased acidic sites of the MnO₂ sample can enhance the adsorption of gaseous toluene, and the mobility of oxygen species and the content of reactive oxygen species in the catalyst are significantly improved due to the formed oxygen vacancy. Thus these two factors result in excellent catalytic performance for toluene oxidation combining with the weak CO₂ adsorption ability.     

UV/H2O2 oxidation of tri(2-chloroethyl) phosphate: Intermediate products, degradation pathway and toxicity evaluation

Tri(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) with the initial concentration of 5 mg/L was degraded by UV/H₂O₂ oxidation process. The removal rate of TCEP in the UV/H₂O₂ system was 89.1% with the production of Cl^? and PO₄^3? of 0.23 and 0.64 mg/L. The removal rate of total organic carbon of the reaction was 48.8% and the pH reached 3.3 after the reaction. The oxidative degradation process of TCEP in the UV/H₂O₂ system obeyed the first order kinetic reaction with the apparent rate constant of 0.0025 min^?1 (R²=0.9788). The intermediate products were isolated and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer. The addition reaction of HO? and H₂O and the oxidation reaction with H₂O₂ were found during the degradation pathway of 5 mg/L TCEP in the UV/H₂O₂ system. For the first time, environment risk was estimated via the “ecological structure activity relationships” program and acute and chronic toxicity changes of intermediate products were pointed out. The luminescence inhibition rate of photobacterium was used to evaluate the acute toxicity of intermediate products. The results showed that the toxicity of the intermediate products increased with the increase of reaction time, which may be due to the production of chlorine compounds. Some measures should be introduced to the UV/H₂O₂ system to remove the highly toxic Cl-containing compounds, such as a nanofiltration or reverse osmosis unit.     

Hydrothermal-treated Pt/Al2O3 as an excellent catalyst for toluene total oxidation

The preparation of highly active supported noble metal catalysts with a low noble metal loading has always been the ultimate goal of researchers working on catalysis. Hydrothermally treated Pt/Al₂O₃ (Pt/Al₂O₃-H) exhibits better catalytic activity than that (Pt/Al₂O₃-C) treated via the conventional calcination approach. At the high space velocity of 100,000 mL/(g∙hr), the temperature that correspond to 50% toluene conversion (T₅₀) of Pt/Al₂O₃-H is 115°C lower than that of Pt/Al₂O₃-C, and the turnover frequency (TOF) value can reach 0.0756 sec⁻¹. The mechanism by which the hydrothermal approach enhances Pt/Al₂O₃ activity has been investigated. The structure associated with the high catalytic activity of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) can be retained via hydrothermal treatment. Furthermore, the support is transformed to AlO(OH) with numerous surface hydroxyl groups, which in turn can facilitate the adsorption of toluene. And the synergistic effects of Pt NPs and AlO(OH) increases the contents of Pt in oxidation state and active oxygen, which are beneficial for toluene oxidation.     

Physiological and biochemical responses of Microcystis aeruginosa to phosphine (PH3) under elevated CO2

Phosphine (PH₃) is an important factor driving the outbreak of cyanobacterial blooms that produce toxic microcystin threating human health. To clarify the physiological and biochemical responses of cyanobacteria to PH₃ under elevated CO₂ concentration, Microcystis aeruginosa was used in the coupling treatment of 1000 ppmv CO₂ and PH₃ at different concentrations respectively. The chlorophyll a (Chl-a), carotenoid, net photosynthetic rate and total protein of M. aeruginosa exhibited evidently increasing tendency under the coupling treatment of 1000 ppmv CO₂ and PH₃ at different concentrations (7.51 × 10^?3, 2.48 × 10^?2, 7.51 × 10^?2 mg/L). The coupling treatments resulted in the higher concentrations of Chl-a and carotenoid of M. aeruginosa, compared to those in the control and the treatment with CO₂ alone, and their enhancement increased with the increase in PH₃ concentrations. The total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in the coupling treatment with CO₂ and PH₃ of 2.48 × 10^?2 mg/L and 7.51 × 10^?3 mg/L showed increasing tendency, compared to the treatment with PH₃ alone. Additionally, the coupling treatment with 1000 ppmv CO₂ and PH₃ also altered the pH and DO level in the culture medium. In this regard, the coupling treatment with CO₂ and PH₃ at an appropriate concentration can enhance the resistance of M. aeruginosa to PH₃ toxicity and is beneficial to the reproduction of M. aeruginosa, presumably resulting in potential for the outbreak of cyanobacteria bloom. Given the concern about global warming and the increase in atmospheric CO₂ level, our research laid a foundation for the scientific understanding of the correlation between PH₃ and cyanobacteria blooms.     

Multiple effects of nitrate amendment on the transport, transformation and bioavailability of antimony in a paddy soil-rice plant system

Nitrate (NO₃^?) is known to be actively involved in the processes of mineralization and heavy metal transformation; however, it is unclear whether and how it affects the bioavailability of antimony (Sb) in paddy soils and subsequent Sb accumulation in rice. Here, the effects of NO₃^? on Sb transformation in soil-rice system were investigated with pot experiments over the entire growth period. Results demonstrated that NO₃^? reduced Sb accumulation in brown rice by 15.6% compared to that in the control. After amendment with NO₃^?, the Sb content in rice plants increased initially and then gradually decreased (in roots by 46.1%). During the first 15 days, the soil pH increased, the oxidation of Sb(III) and sulfides was promoted, but the reduction of iron oxide minerals was inhibited, resulting in the release of adsorbed and organic-bound Sb from soil. The microbial arsenite-oxidizing marker gene aoxB played an important role in Sb(III) oxidation. From days 15 to 45, after NO₃^? was partially consumed, the soil pH decreased, and the reductive dissolution of Fe(III)-bearing minerals was enhanced; consequently, iron oxide-bound Sb was transformed into adsorbed and dissolved Sb species. After day 45, NO₃^? was completely reduced, Sb(V) was evidently reduced to Sb(III), and green rust was generated gradually. Thus, the available Sb decreased due to its enhanced affinity for iron oxides. Moreover, NO₃^? inhibited the reductive dissolution of iron minerals, which ultimately caused low Sb availability. Therefore, NO₃^? can chemically and biologically reduce the Sb availability in paddy soils and alleviate Sb accumulation in rice. This study provides a potential strategy for decreasing Sb accumulation in rice in the Sb-contaminated sites.     

Humidity and PM2.5 composition determine atmospheric light extinction in the arid region of northwest China

Atmospheric visibility can directly reflect the air quality. In this study, we measured water-soluble ions (WSIs), organic and element carbon (OC and EC) in PM_2.5 from September 2017 to August 2018 in Urumqi, NW China. The results show that SO₄^2?, NO₃^? and NH₄⁺ were the major WSIs, together accounting for 7.32%–84.12% of PM_2.5 mass. Total carbon (TC=OC+EC) accounted for 12.12% of PM_2.5 mass on average. And OC/EC > 2 indicated the formation of secondary organic carbon (SOC). The levels of SO₄^2?, NO₃^? and NH₄⁺ in low visibility days were much higher than those in high visibility days. Relative humidity (RH) played a key role in affecting visibility. The extinction coefficient (b_ext) that estimated via Koschmieder formula with visibility was the highest in winter (1441.05 ± 739.95 Mm^?1), and the lowest in summer (128.58 ± 58.00 Mm^?1). The b_ext that estimated via IMPROVE formula with PM_2.5 chemical component was mainly contributed by (NH₄)₂SO₄ and NH₄NO₃. The b_ext values calculated by both approaches presented a good correlation with each other (R² = 0.87). Multiple linear regression (MLR) method was further employed to reconstruct the empirical regression model of visibility as a function of PM_2.5 chemical components, NO₂ and RH. The results of source apportionment by Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model showed that residential coal combustion and vehicle emissions were the major sources of b_ext.     

Ru(III) catalyzed permanganate oxidation of aniline at environmentally relevant pH

Ru（Ⅲ） was employed as catalyst for aniline oxidation by permanganate at environmentally relevant pH for the first time. Ru（Ⅲ） could significantly improve the oxidation rate of aniline by 5-24 times with its concentration increasing from 2.5 to 15 μmol/L. The reaction of Ru（Ⅲ） catalyzed permanganate oxidation of aniline was first-order with respect to aniline, permanganate and Ru（Ⅲ）, respectively. Thus the oxidation kinetics can be described by a third-order rate law. Aniline degradation by Ru（Ⅲ） catalyzed permanganate oxidation was markedly influenced by pH, and the second-order rate constant （ktapp） decreased from 643.20 to 2.67 （mol/L）^-1 sec^-1 with increasing pH from 4.0 to 9.0, which was possibly due to the decrease of permanganate oxidation potential with increasing pH. In both the uncatalytic and catalytic permanganate oxidation, six byproducts of aniline were identified in UPLC-MS/MS analysis. Ru（Ⅲ）, as an electron shuttle, was oxidized by permanganate to Ru（Ⅵ） and Ru（Ⅶ）, which acted the co-oxidants for decomposition of aniline. Although Ru（Ⅲ） could catalyze permanganate oxidation of aniline effectively, dosing homogeneous Ru（Ⅲ） into water would lead to a second pollution. Therefore, efforts would be made to investigate the catalytic performance of supported Ru（Ⅲ） toward permanganate oxidation in our future study.     

Application of permanganate in the oxidation of micropollutants: a mini review

As a green oxidant, permanganate has received considerable attention for the removal of micropollutants in drinking water treatment. To provide a better understanding of the oxidation of organic micropollutants with permanganate, the oxidation kinetics of 32 micropollutants were compiled. The pollutants include algal toxins, endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), and pharmaceuticals. The oxidation kinetics of micropollutants by permanganate were found to be first order with respect to both contaminant and permanganate concentrations from which second-order rate constants (k″) were obtained. Permanganate oxidized the heterocyclic aromatics with vinyl moiety (i.e., microcystins, carbamazepine, and dichlorvos) by the addition of double bonds. For the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with alkyl groups, permanganate attacked the benzylic C-H through abstraction of hydrogen. The mechanism for the oxidation of phenolic EDCs by permanganate was a single electron transfer and aromatic ring cleavage. The presence of background matrices could enhance the oxidation of some phenolic EDCs by permanganate, including phenol, chlorinated phenols, bisphenol A, and trichlosan. The toxicity of dichlorvos solution increased after permanganate oxidation, and the estrogenic activity of bisphnol A/estrone increased significantly at the beginning of permanganate oxidation. Therefore, the toxicity of degradation products or intermediates should be determined in the permanganate oxidation processes to better evaluate the applicability of permanganate. The influence of background ions on the permanganate oxidation process is far from clear and should be elucidated in the future studies to better predict the performance of permanganate oxidation of micropollutants. Moreover, methods should be employed to catalyze the permanganate oxidation process to achieve better removal of micropollutants.

MnO_2催化KMnO_4氧化降解酚类化合物

研究了MnO2强化KMnO4氧化降解酚类化合物的效能与机制.在假一级动力学实验条件下(KMnO4初始浓度是目标有机物初始浓度的10倍),考察了KMnO4对酚类化合物(2-氯酚和4-氯酚)的氧化降解规律.发现在KMnO4氧化降解酚类化合物过程中存在着明显的自催化现象,即原位产生的胶体MnO2可以促进KMnO4对有机物的氧化降解.实验进一步考察了MnO2浓度、粒径大小和溶液pH对MnO2催化KMnO4氧化降解酚类化合物的影响.结果表明,外加胶体MnO2和颗粒MnO2都可以催化KMnO4氧化降解酚类化合物,而且假一级动力学常数(K)随着MnO2浓度(30～180μmol·L-1)的增加呈线性增加;与胶体MnO2相比,颗粒MnO2的催化能力较弱;随着溶液pH的增加,MnO2催化能力逐渐减弱.实验中还发现外加MnO2能够催化KMnO4氧化降解2-硝基酚(单独MnO2和KMnO4均不能将其氧化),但对于二甲基亚砜(其不具有与金属离子络合配位的能力)则没有催化作用.由此推测MnO2催化KMnO4氧化降解有机物的作用机制可能为表面吸附络合催化,即吸附在MnO2表面形成的络合物比存在于溶液中的有机物本身更易被KMnO4氧化.
