New bacterial strains isolated from Tunisian biotopes: A sustainable enzymatic approach for decolorization and detoxification of Congo Red and Malachite Green.

Seven bacterial strains, isolated from various Tunisian biotopes, were investigated for Congo Red (CR) and Malachite Green (MG) decolorization. The isolated strains underwent morphological and biochemical tests, including assessments for antibiotic sensitivity as well as biofilm formation. One selected strain, ST11, was partially identified as Paenibacillus sp. strain ST11. The newly isolated crude bacterial filtrates (NICBFs) effectively decolorized CR and MG. Specifically, six and seven NICBFs were found to be effective for degrading CR (150 mg l-1) and MG (50 mg l-1), respectively. Under non-optimized conditions, CR and MG could be decolorized up to 80% within 6-12 h. The degradation products of CR and MG, characterized by UV-visible and FT-IR techniques, demonstrated both decolorization and transformation, highlighting the role of enzymes in dye degradation. Phytotoxicity and cytotoxicity studies evaluated the impact of treated and untreated CR and MG. Some NICBFs showed promise as powerful biological tools, reducing and sometimes detoxifying CR and MG, commonly used as fertilizers. The potential applications of these NICBFs in decolorization and bioremediation of dye-rich textile effluents were explored. The screening also identified environmentally friendly, cost-effective bacterial strains adaptable to various conditions through phytotoxicity and cytotoxicity studies.

The production of biobutanol through acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) is highly sought after around the world because of its sustainable supply and lack of competition with food. The purpose of this study is to present the current biobutanol production research and to analyse the biobutanol research conducted during 2006 to 2023. The keyword used in this study is "Biobutanol," and the relevant data was extracted from the Web of Science database (WoS). According to the results, institutions and scholars from the People's Republic of China, the USA, and India have the highest number of cited papers across a broad spectrum of topics including acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation, biobutanol, various pretreatment techniques, and pervaporation. The success of biobutanol fermentation from biomass depends on the ability of the fermentation operation to match the microbial behaviour along with the appropriate bioprocessing strategies to improve the entire process to be suitable for industrial scale. Based on the review data, we will look at the biobutanol technologies and appropriate strategies that have been developed to improve biobutanol production from renewable biomass.

Occurrence and health risk estimate of organochlorine pesticides in fruits and vegetables matrices.

Occurrence of 20 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in 60 organic and non-organic fruits and vegetables matrices was undertaken using QuEChERS Method EN 15662 for sample preparation analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). The procedural method was validated by spiking the OCP standard solutions at three fortified levels at 10, 50, and 100 µg/kg wet weight (ww) to the real matrix of fruit and vegetable with good recovery ranging from 75 to 108% with relative standard deviation (RSD) ≤ 11%, and the limits of detection and quantification (LODs and LOQs) were 0.002-0.02 µg/kg and 0.004-0.1 µg/kg ww, respectively. The assessment of health risks associated with pesticide residues through consumption of vegetables and fruits and the effect of washing and peeling on concentration of various pesticides were also studied. The results showed that the concentration levels of 60% of samples were lower than the LOQs, while the rest was contaminated by OCP residues. Organic fruits and vegetables showed the absence of OCPs, while several of the studied compounds were detected from conventional agriculture. Skin removal (peeling) was the most effective strategy to eliminate or decrease pesticide residues, and should be one of the solutions to reduce the health impact of pesticides in fruits and vegetables. The analysis of health risk assessment was based on the use of the estimated average daily intake (EDI), hazard index (HI), and hazard ratio (HR) for individuals in two weight categories: children (weighing 16.7 kg) and adults (weighing 60 kg). The HI values were less than 1 suggesting that there was no probable non-carcinogenic health effect, except for heptachlor for children (HI of 1.285). However, the values of HR revealed that children were more susceptible to the carcinogenic health effect associated with consuming contaminated vegetables.

Chitin extraction from crab shells and synthesis of chitin @metakaolin composite for efficient amputation of Cr (VI) ions.

The present research study combines chitin from shrimp waste with the oxide-rich metakaolin. Metakaolin is a blend of mixed oxides rich in silica and alumina with good adsorbent properties. The chitin@metakaolin (CHt@M.K.) composite was synthesized and characterized using FTIR, SEM, TGA, XRD and XPS techniques. Cr(VI) removal studies were compared for chitin and CHt@M.K. through adsorption. It was found that the adsorption capacity of CHt@M.K. is 278.88 mg/g, almost double that of chitin, at pH 5.0 in just 120 min of adsorption. Isotherm models like Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich were investigated to comprehend the adsorption process. It was revealed that Langmuir adsorption isotherm is most suitable to elucidate Cr(VI) adsorption on CHt@M.K. The adsorption kinetics indicate that pseudo first order was followed, indicating that the physisorption was the process that limited the sorption process rate. The positive enthalpy change (20.23 kJ/mol) and positive entropy change (0.083 kJ/mol K) showed that the adsorption process was endothermic and more random at the solid-liquid interface. The negative free energy change over entire temperature range was an indicator of spontaneity of the process. Apart from all these, the non-covalent interactions between Cr(VI) and composite were explained by quantum calculations based models.

Progress in membrane distillation processes for dye wastewater treatment: A review.

Textile and cosmetic industries generate large amounts of dye effluents requiring treatment before discharge. This wastewater contains high levels of reactive dyes, low to none-biodegradable materials and chemical residues. Technically, dye wastewater is characterised by high chemical and biological oxygen demand. Biological, physical and pressure-driven membrane processes have been extensively used in textile wastewater treatment plants. However, these technologies are characterised by process complexity and are often costly. Also, process efficiency is not achieved in cost-effective biochemical and physical treatment processes. Membrane distillation (MD) emerged as a promising technology harnessing challenges faced by pressure-driven membrane processes. To ensure high cost-effectiveness, the MD can be operated by solar energy or low-grade waste heat. Herein, the MD purification of dye wastewater is comprehensively and yet concisely discussed. This involved research advancement in MD processes towards removal of dyes from industrial effluents. Also, challenges faced by this process with a specific focus on fouling are reviewed. Current literature mainly tested MD setups in the laboratory scale suggesting a deep need of further optimization of membrane and module designs in near future, especially for textile wastewater treatment. There is a need to deliver customized high-porosity hydrophobic membrane design with the appropriate thickness and module configuration to reduce concentration and temperature polarization (CP and TP). Also, energy loss should be minimized while increasing dye rejection and permeate flux. Although laboratory experiments remain pivotal in optimizing the MD process for treating dye wastewater, the nature of their time intensity poses a challenge. Given the multitude of parameters involved in MD process optimization, artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies present a promising avenue for assistance. Thus, AI-driven algorithms have the potential to enhance overall process efficiency, cutting down on time, fine-tuning parameters, and driving cost reductions. However, achieving an optimal balance between efficiency enhancements and financial outlays is a complex process. Finally, this paper suggests a research direction for the development of effective synthetic and natural dye removal from industrially discharged wastewater.

Study of electrospun nanofibers loaded with Ru(ii) phenanthroline complexes as a potential material for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are an increasingly attractive alternative energy source because of their low cost. Therefore, researchers have intensified efforts over the past decade to increase their energy conversion efficiency by employing new materials in each DSSC component. The present research focuses on synthesizing electrospun nanofibers as a potential new material as a counter electrode in DSSCs. Two Ru(ii) half sandwich 1,10 phenanthroline (phen) Ru-1 and 5-amino- phen Ru-2 complexes were prepared for its functionalization. As a deposition medium, poly(caprolactone) (PCL) dissolved in chloroform was used. Different Ru(ii) complex concentrations were made at 0.1% wt., 0.5% wt., and 1% wt. Thermal characterization studies using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were conducted to evaluate the behavior and weight loss of the samples with temperature variations. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) measurements were taken to observe the bond interaction of the ruthenium complexes and the PCL. Finally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to structurally and morphologically evaluate the fiber distribution and porosity. These fibers have a homogeneous morphology, without bulbs, but with evident solid inlays on the surface, with fibers between ∼0.58 to 2.47 µm and percentages of porosity ∼45%. TGA and DSC thermograms show minor temperature variations that demonstrate the incorporation of the Ru(ii) complexes into the fiber. Furthermore, the melting and degradation temperature of the fibers is suitable for use in a DSSC approach. The incorporation of the ruthenium compounds into PCL fibers, along with the addition of the NH2 group into complex Ru-2, resulted in a higher current density for both anodic and cathodic peaks in Cyclic Voltammetry (CV). It is noteworthy that from I-V curves, PCL-Ru2 1% fibers demonstrated a conductivity of 0.461 µS cm-1, which is comparable to other PCL fibers carrying a higher metal load. Future studies will delve into the mechanical properties of these fibers to highlight their potential for application in this field.

In this study, chitosan (Ch) from shrimp waste and the related epichlorohydrin-modified crossover chitosan (Ch-EPI) were used to remove nitrates from aqueous solutions. The mechanism of selective nitrate removal was elucidated and validated by theoretical calculations. The physicochemical performance of Ch and Ch-EPI was investigated through the main parameters pH, adsorption capacity, contact time, initial nitrate concentration, coexisting anions, and temperature. The experimental data were fitted to widely used adsorption kinetic models and adsorption isotherms. The maximum percentage of nitrate adsorption was reached at an equilibrium pH of 4.0 at an adsorbent dose of 2.0 g/L after a contact time of 50 min. Competing anion experiments show that chloride and sulfate ions have minimal and maximal effects on nitrate adsorption by Ch-EPI. Experimental adsorption data are best fitted to pseudo-second-order kinetic and isothermal Langmuir models. The maximum adsorption capacities of Ch and Ch-EPI for nitrate removal were 12.0 mg/g and 38 mg/g, respectively.

Evaluation of the Stability of a 1,8-Cineole Nanoemulsion and Its Fumigant Toxicity Effect against the Pests Tetranychus urticae, Rhopalosiphum maidis and Bemisia tabaci.

Pest control is a main concern in agriculture. Indiscriminate application of synthetic pesticides has caused negative impacts leading to the rapid development of resistance in arthropod pests. Plant secondary metabolites have been proposed as a safer alternative to conventional pesticides. Monoterpenoids have reported bioactivities against important pests; however, due to their high volatility, low water solubility and chemical instability, the application of these compounds has been limited. Nanosystems represent a potential vehicle for the broad application of monoterpenoids. In this study, an 1,8-cineole nanoemulsion was prepared by the low energy method of phase inversion, characterization of droplet size distribution and polydispersity index (PDI) was carried out by dynamic light scattering and stability was evaluated by centrifugation and Turbiscan analysis. Fumigant bioactivity was evaluated against Tetranychus urticae, Rhopalosiphum maidis and Bemisia tabaci. A nanoemulsion with oil:surfactant:water ratio of 0.5:1:8.5 had a droplet size of 14.7 nm and PDI of 0.178. Formulation was stable after centrifugation and the Turbiscan analysis showed no particle migration and a delta backscattering of ±1%. Nanoemulsion exhibited around 50% more bioactivity as a fumigant on arthropods when compared to free monoterpenoid. These results suggest that nanoformulations can provide volatile compounds of protection against volatilization, improving their bioactivity.

This work synthesized a novel chitosan-loaded MgAl-LDH (LDH = layered double hyroxide) nanocomposite, which was physicochemically characterized, and its performance in As(V) removal and antimicrobial activity was evaluated. Chitosan-loaded MgAl-LDH nanocomposite (CsC@MgAl-LDH) was prepared using cross-linked natural chitosan from shrimp waste and modified by Mg-Al. The main mechanisms predominating the separation of As(V) were elucidated. The characteristic changes confirming MgAl-LDH modification with chitosan were analyzed through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis-differential thermal analysis, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurements. Porosity and the increased surface area play an important role in arsenic adsorption and microbial activity. Adsorption kinetics follows the general order statistically confirmed by Bayesian Information Criterion differences. To understand the adsorption process, Langmuir, Freundlich, and Liu isotherms were studied at three different temperatures. It was found that Liu's isotherm model was the best-fitted model. CsC@MgAl-LDH showed the maximum adsorption capacity of 69.29 mg g-1 toward arsenic at 60 °C. It was observed that the adsorption capacity of the material rose with the increase in temperature. The spontaneous behavior and endothermic nature of adsorption was confirmed by the thermodynamic parameters study. Minimal change in percentage removal was observed with coexisting ions. The regeneration of material and adsorption-desorption cycles revealed that the adsorbent is economically efficient. The nanocomposite was very effective against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilus.
