Abstract Nanoherbicides are articulated by empowering the potential of nanotechnology for the efficacious delivery of chemical or biological herbicides with the aid of nanomaterial‐based herbicide combinations. Therefore, the goal of this work was to investigate the chitosan nanoparticles loaded with mesosulfuron methyl and mesosulfuron methyl + florasulam + (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid) MCPA isooctyl herbicides as a possible environmentally benign substitute to manage weeds in wheat. Due to intriguing characteristics including biocompatibility, low allergenicity, biodegradability, and nontoxicity, chitosan biopolymers as sustainable chitin derivatives have received intense scrutiny in the biomedical business. The manufactured nanoparticles were characterized by using ultraviolet absorbance, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The average particle size as revealed by SEM was 40–70 nm in a cluster form with the porous structure. The maximum absorption peaks of both nanoparticles of mesosulfuron methyl and mesosulfuron methyl + florasulam + MCPA isooctyl were 330 and 360 nm. The FT-IR analysis showed an intensive peak at 2θ value of 30.55° for mesosulfuron methyl and 32.79° for mesosulfuron methyl + florasula + MCPA isooctyl, which correspond to the 78 and 198 planes of the anatase phase, respectively. The nanoparticles were sprayed at the third to fourth leaf stages of the targeted weeds. Seven different doses were applied. A total of 100% mortality and visual injury were caused by the chitosan-based nanoparticles of both herbicides at the recommended dose of standard herbicide. The 5-fold lower dose showed the minimum chlorophyll content (5.75%), plant height (2.35 cm), fresh biomass (1.08 g), and dry biomass (0.33 g) of a weed mixture. For the same traits, the herbicide nanoparticles at 10-fold lower dose of commercial herbicides exhibited a similar effect as the recommended dose. Nanoherbicides could recuperate the conventional herbicide effectiveness by enhancing the stability and reducing the toxicity.

Abstract Tanshinone IIA has a potential therapeutic effect on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CIRI). In this study, tanshinone IIA was encapsulated in poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-block-poly (ethylene glycol)-carboxylic acid (PLGA-PEG-COOH) nanoparticles, and its therapeutic efficacy on CIRI was investigated. Morphology and dynamic light scattering analyses were performed to identify and optimize nano-formulations. A drug release test was conducted using the dialysis method. The cytotoxic effect of tanshinone IIA on human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) and brain endothelial capillary cells (hCMEC/D3) was measured using the MTT assay. The protective effect of PLGA-PEG-COOH-encapsulated tanshinone IIA against CIRI was evaluated in oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation-induced SH-SY5Y/IR cells and middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rats. Results showed that PLGA-PEG-COOH-encapsulated tanshinone IIA promoted viability and inhibited apoptosis of SH-SY5Y/IR cells (P < 0.01). Moreover, PLGA-PEG-COOH-encapsulated tanshinone IIA facilitated the invasion of SH-SY5Y/IR cells and repressed inflammation in MCAO rats (P < 0.01). Noteworthy, PLGA-PEG-COOH-encapsulated tanshinone IIA combined with angiopep-2 peptide presented a better inhibitory effect on CIRI than tanshinone IIA alone (P < 0.01). Angiopep-2 peptide contributes to traversing blood–brain barrier by recognizing lipoprotein-related protein expressed in the brain capillary endothelial cells. In conclusion, PLGA-PEG-COOH-encapsulated tanshinone IIA plus angiopep-2 peptide holds promising therapeutic potential toward CIRI.

Abstract The heterogeneous supported Lewis acid catalyst prepared by immobilization technology has high reaction activity. It is an environment-friendly catalyst. Using Lewis acid immobilized as the catalyst, 2-methyl-6-propionyl naphthalene is synthesized by Friedel–Crafts reaction with 2-methylnaphthalene and propionic anhydride, which has a good development prospect. A variety of AlCl3 catalysts supported by H-zeolite molecular sieves are prepared using the solvent reflux method in the paper. It is found that AlCl3/Hβ has better catalytic performance. The results showed that AlCl3/Hβ catalyst is mainly composed of L acid. The acid content of B acid and the specific surface area increase, and the pore volume and pore size decreases. With the increase in AlCl3 concentration, the acid content of strong acid, medium strong acid, and weak acid increases, but the solubility of AlCl3 in CHCl3 is limited. When the concentration of AlCl3 is too high, too much AlCl3 is deposited on the surface of the molecular sieve, which is useless to its binding with Si–OH. AlCl3/Hβ’s activity is higher when the concentration of AlCl3 is 3 g·L−1, and the solvent is refluxed for 8 h and calcined at 550°C for 3 h. Under these conditions, the conversion of 2-methylnaphthalene is 85.86%, and the yield of β,β-methyl propyl naphthalene is increased to 81.19%.

Abstract Selenium (Se) is indispensable for animals and humans. One option to address Se deficiency is to biofortify plants with Se. Biofortification of forage with Se nanoparticles (NPs) is gaining more attention as an efficient and safe source of Se for livestock. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different concentrations of NPs-Se (0, 30, 50, 100, 150, and 250 mg·L−1) on the growth of alfalfa harvested multiple times, and to provide a basis for the production of Se-enriched forages. Applying 50 mg·L−1 concentration of NPs-Se had the best effect on yield over three harvests. Over three harvests, low-dose NPs-Se (30 and 50 mg·L−1) application significantly increased peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities, chlorophyll content and carotenoid content, and significantly decreased malondialdehyde content. The total Se content and Se accumulation in plants at the same harvest showed an upward trend with increasing Se concentration. At the same concentration, from first harvest to third harvest, Se content and Se accumulation showed an initially increasing and then decreasing trend. The evaluation found that foliar application of NPs-Se at 50 mg·L−1 could have the greatest positive effect on the growth and yield of multiple-harvested alfalfa.

Abstract The aim of the present study was the synthesis of hydrogel incorporated with chitosan blend with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) from red cabbage Brassica oleracea and its application in wound healing and antibacterial activity. The chitosan/PVA hydrogel was synthesized by the combination of chitosan and PVA treated with acetic acid. The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized from the B. oleracea extract and its antibacterial efficacy was examined. The synthesized nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized using UV-spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction methods. The synthesized NPs were purified and combined with the hydrogel. This combined hydrogel and AgNP mixture was then subjected to Fourier transform infrared analysis, and the results were observed to conclude the effectiveness of the hydrogel. This hydrogel would differ in the part of dressing the wound, that is it can last on the wound for a longer period, thus reducing the pain and frequency of dressing and in turn naturally healing the wound in less time.

Abstract The selective leaching method presents a new and innovative approach for the enrichment of low-grade phosphate raw materials. The use of acetic acid as a reagent in the leaching process allows for the selective dissolution of carbonates, potassium-, and aluminum-containing compounds, offering a promising solution for the improvement of the recovery rates of valuable phosphorus compounds. This study presents the results of research on the selective leaching of carbonates from low-grade phosphate raw materials and evaluation of its efficiency using a combination of SEM, energy-dispersion and chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, differential thermal, IR-Fourier spectroscopic, and mineralogical analysis techniques. The results showed an increase in the content of phosphorus(v) oxide from 14% to 22% through the selective leaching process. The enriched phosphate raw materials were also found to be suitable for the production of phosphorus-containing products. This research highlights the potential of the selective leaching method to overcome the challenges faced in the enrichment of low-grade phosphorites and provide a more efficient and sustainable solution for the industry.

Abstract Green nano-chemistry is an advanced research route covering eco-friendly fabrication approaches for synthesizing bimetallic nanocomposites (NCs) to enhance their therapeutic properties. The current study aims to phytofabrication, characterization, and bio-potential evaluation of novel selenium–iron (Se–Fe) NCs by utilizing garlic extract. The morphological and physicochemical features of Se–Fe NCs were evaluated by UV–visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, and Zeta potential analysis. The findings showed that garlic cloves extract was a promising capping and reducing agent for the formulation of the NC. To explore the antioxidant potential of a bioinspired Se–Fe NC, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and reducing power assays were performed. Furthermore, antioxidant efficacy was confirmed through antimicrobial activities against clinical pathogens. Phytosynthesized Se–Fe NCs (25, 50, 75, and 100 ppm) showed a dose-dependent response. Higher concentrations of Se–Fe NCs impose a more potent antioxidant and antimicrobial potential. The astonishing findings suggest that phytochemicals in Allium sativum extract are useful reducing agents in the formulation of well-defined Se–Fe NCs, and such NCs could act as competitive inhibitors against pathogens. To the extent of our understanding, Se–Fe NC is the first time synthesized and demonstrates the distinctiveness of green chemistry and will give multifunctional applications in nano-biotechnology.

Abstract Residual antibiotics and organic dyes in wastewater have gained the current challenge all over the world because of their toxicity to humans and the environment. In this study, the bimetallic porous FeZn-ZIFs materials were successfully prepared under mild conditions at room temperature and atmospheric pressure and characterized by various techniques. The FeZn-ZIFs were used as a heterogeneous catalyst to remove tetracycline antibiotics (TC) and methyl violet 2B dyes (MV) in an aqueous solution by activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and peroxydisulfate (PDS), respectively. The catalytic activity of FeZn-ZIFs towards TC and MV under different oxidant dosages, the catalyst dosage, the initial pollutant concentration, contact time, and reaction temperature were optimized. The results indicated that FeZn-ZIFs was an efficient catalyst for removing TC and MV based on advanced oxidant processes, having a removal capacity of 92% at TC concentration of 50 mg·L −1 and 95% MV concentration of 20 mg·L −1 . More importantly, this bimetallic catalyst was identified the superior structural stability when the removal efficiency of TC and MV was maintained at approximately 90% after five cycles. In short, the FeZn-ZIFs and PMS/PDS system exhibited a promising application prospect for antibiotic and dye-containing wastewater treatment.

Abstract Nanoherbicides are articulated by exploiting the prospective of nanotechnology for effectively delivering chemical and biological herbicides using nanomaterial‐based herbicide combinations. The nanoparticles were characterized using X-ray diffraction and FT-IR. On the targeted weeds, the nanoherbicides were sprayed at the third to fourth leaf stage. Six different doses were applied. The mortality and visual injury caused by both chitosan-based nanoherbicides reached 100% at the recommended dose of standard herbicide. The 5-fold lower dose exhibited weed density and maximum wheat yield and related parameters. For the same traits, the nanoherbicide at 10-fold lower dose of commercial herbicides showed a comparable influence as the suggested dose. The size of both herbicides was found to be 35–65 nm. It was observed that the clodinofop-propargyl nanoherbicide has an intense peak appearing at a 2 θ value of 29.83°, corresponding to the (176) plane of the anatase phase and NPs of fenoxaprop- P -ethyl showed an intense peak around the 2 θ value of 30.55° corresponding to the (74) plane of the anatase phase. The FT-IR spectra of fenoxaprop- P -ethyl clearly showed that the major functional groups were located in the FT-IR region between 610 and 1,840 cm −1 and the major functional ones of clodinofop propargyl were located in the FT-IR region between 640 and 1,740 cm −1 . Nanoherbicides could restore the efficacy of conventional herbicides by improving stability and reducing toxicity.
摘要纳米除草剂是利用纳米技术的前景，利用纳米材料为基础的除草剂组合有效地传递化学和生物除草剂。利用x射线衍射和红外光谱对纳米颗粒进行了表征。在目标杂草的第3 ~第4叶期施用纳米除草剂。使用了六种不同的剂量。在标准除草剂推荐剂量下，壳聚糖基纳米除草剂的致死率和视觉损伤均达到100%。低5倍剂量对杂草密度、小麦最高产量及相关参数有显著影响。对于相同的性状，纳米除草剂在低10倍商业除草剂剂量下显示出与建议剂量相当的影响。两种除草剂的粒径均在35 ~ 65 nm之间。结果表明，氯硝磷-丙炔基纳米除草剂在锐钛矿相(176)面2 θ处29.83°处有一个强烈的峰，而芬诺沙普- P -乙基纳米除草剂在锐钛矿相(74)面2 θ处30.55°处有一个强烈的峰。芬诺沙丙- P -乙基的FT-IR光谱清楚地表明，其主要官能团位于610 ~ 1840 cm−1之间，而氯硝丙基的主要官能团位于640 ~ 1740 cm−1之间。纳米除草剂可以通过提高稳定性和降低毒性来恢复传统除草剂的药效。

Abstract 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), an eco-friendly biomass resource capable of replacing petroleum-based fuels, is gaining increasing popularity. In this article, 2,5-FDCA was prepared by liquid-phase oxidation of the sustainable precursor 5-hydroxymethylfurfural using the Co–Mn–Br catalyst system. The effects of catalyst concentration, catalyst ratio, reaction temperature, reaction time, reaction pressure, and solvent ratio on the reaction of FDCA were investigated. The products are subjected to qualitative and quantitative analyses using high-performance liquid chromatography, infrared spectroscopy, and hydrogen nuclear magnetic spectroscopy. Moreover, considering the loss of catalytic liquid, the suitable reaction conditions were determined as follows: n (Co)/ n (Mn)/ n (Br) = 1/0.04/0.5, n (HMF)/ n (HAC) = 0.05, reaction temperature of 170°C, reaction pressure of 2 MPa, reaction time 40 min, and airflow rate 1.0 L·min −1 . Under these conditions, the yield of the product is 86.01%, the purity is 97.53%, and the loss of the catalytic liquid is about 5.63%, which is at an ideal level and provides a good basis for the recovery of the subsequent catalytic liquid and multiple cycle reactions. Through the optimization of the existing process, the use of noble metal catalysts has been reduced, and the recycling of catalytic liquid has also reduced the consumption of catalysts. This advancement marks a significant stride toward sustainable development in the green chemical industry.
