Actinides are elements that are often feared because of their radioactive nature and potentially devastating consequences to humans and the environment if not managed properly. As such, their chemical interactions with the biosphere and geochemical environment, i.e., their “biogeochemistry,” must be studied and understood in detail. In this Review, a summary of the past discoveries and recent advances in the field of actinide biogeochemistry is provided with a particular emphasis on actinides other than thorium and uranium (i.e., actinium, neptunium, plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium, and californium) as they originate from anthropogenic activities and can be mobile in the environment. The nuclear properties of actinide isotopes found in the environment and used in research are reviewed with historical context. Then, the coordination chemistry properties of actinide ions are contrasted with those of common metal ions naturally present in the environment. The typical chelators that can impact the biogeochemistry of actinides are then reviewed. Then, the role of metalloproteins in the biogeochemistry of actinides is put into perspective since recent advances in the field may have ramifications in radiochemistry and for the long-term management of nuclear waste. Metalloproteins are ubiquitous ligands in nature but, as discussed in this Review, they have largely been overlooked for actinide chemistry, especially when compared to traditional environmental chelators. Without discounting the importance of abundant and natural actinide ions (i.e., Th4+ and UO22+), the main focus of this review is on trivalent actinides because of their prevalence in the fields of nuclear fuel cycles, radioactive waste management, heavy element research, and, more recently, nuclear medicine. Additionally, trivalent actinides share chemical similarities with the rare earth elements, and recent breakthroughs in the field of lanthanide-binding chelators may spill into the field of actinide biogeochemistry, as discussed hereafter.

锕系元素因其放射性和如果管理不当可能对人类和环境造成的破坏性后果而常常令人恐惧。因此,必须详细研究和了解它们与生物圈和地球化学环境之间的化学相互作用,即它们的 "生物地球化学"。本综述概述了锕系元素生物地球化学领域过去的发现和最新进展,特别强调了钍和铀以外的锕系元素(即锕、镎、钚、镅、锔、锫和锎),因为它们源自人类活动,可以在环境中移动。本文结合历史背景回顾了环境中发现的和研究中使用的锕系同位素的核特性。然后,将锕系元素离子的配位化学特性与环境中天然存在的常见金属离子的配位化学特性进行对比。然后回顾了可能影响锕系元素生物地球化学的典型螯合剂。然后,介绍了金属蛋白在锕系元素生物地球化学中的作用,因为该领域的最新进展可能会对放射化学和核废料的长期管理产生影响。金属蛋白是自然界中无处不在的配体,但正如本综述中所讨论的那样,它们在锕系元素化学中却在很大程度上被忽视了,尤其是与传统的环境螯合剂相比。在不贬低丰富的天然锕系元素离子(即 Th4+ 和 UO22+)的重要性的前提下,本综述主要关注三价锕系元素,因为它们在核燃料循环、放射性废物管理、重元素研究以及最近的核医学等领域中非常普遍。此外,三价锕系元素与稀土元素在化学性质上有相似之处,最近在镧系元素结合螯合剂领域取得的突破可能会影响到锕系元素生物地球化学领域,下文将对此进行讨论。

Advancing Microbial Electrochemical H2O2 Synthesis by Tailoring the Surface Chemistry of Stereolithography-Derived 3D Pyrolytic Carbon Electrodes 通过调整立体光刻三维热解碳电极的表面化学性质推进微生物电化学 H2O2 合成
IF 6.7 Q1 ENGINEERING, ENVIRONMENTAL Pub Date : 2024-10-15 DOI: 10.1021/acsenvironau.4c0006710.1021/acsenvironau.4c00067

Microbial electrosynthesis of H2O2 offers an economical and eco-friendly alternative to the costly and environmentally detrimental anthraquinone process. Three-dimensional (3D) electrodes fabricated through additive manufacturing demonstrate significant advantages over carbon electrodes with two-dimensional (2D) surfaces in microbial electrosynthesis of H2O2. Nevertheless, the presence of oxygen-containing free acidic groups on the prototype electrode surface imparts hydrophilic properties to the electrode, which affects the efficiency of the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction for H2O2 generation. In this study, we elucidated that the efficiency of microbial H2O2 synthesis is markedly enhanced by utilizing oxygen-free 3D electrodes produced via additive manufacturing techniques followed by surface modifications to eradicate oxygen-containing functional groups. These oxygen-free 3D electrodes exhibit superior hydrophobicity compared to traditional carbon electrodes with 2D surfaces and their 3D printed analogues. The oxygen-free 3D electrode is capable of generating up to 130.2 mg L–1 of H2O2 within a 6-h time frame, which is 2.4 to 13.6 times more effective than conventional electrodes (such as graphite plates) and pristine 3D printed electrodes. Additionally, the reusability of the oxygen-free 3D electrode underscores its practical viability for large-scale applications. Furthermore, this investigation explored the role of the oxygen-free 3D electrode in the bioelectro-Fenton process, affirming its efficacy as a tertiary treatment technology for the elimination of micropollutants. This dual functionality accentuates the versatility of the oxygen-free 3D electrode in facilitating both the synthesis of valuable chemicals and advancing environmental remediation. This research introduces an innovative electrode design that fosters efficient and sustainable H2O2 synthesis while concurrently enabling subsequent environmental restoration.

微生物电合成 H2O2 是一种经济环保的方法,可替代成本高昂且对环境有害的蒽醌工艺。在微生物电合成 H2O2 的过程中,通过增材制造技术制造的三维(3D)电极比二维(2D)表面的碳电极具有显著优势。然而,原型电极表面存在的含氧游离酸性基团赋予了电极亲水性,从而影响了生成 H2O2 的双电子氧还原反应的效率。在本研究中,我们阐明了利用增材制造技术生产的无氧三维电极,再通过表面修饰消除含氧官能团,可显著提高微生物合成 H2O2 的效率。与具有二维表面的传统碳电极及其三维打印类似物相比,这些无氧三维电极表现出卓越的疏水性。这种无氧三维电极能在 6 小时内产生高达 130.2 mg L-1 的 H2O2,是传统电极(如石墨板)和原始三维打印电极的 2.4 至 13.6 倍。此外,无氧三维电极的可重复使用性也凸显了其在大规模应用中的实际可行性。此外,这项研究还探索了无氧三维电极在生物电-芬顿过程中的作用,肯定了其作为消除微污染物的三级处理技术的功效。这种双重功能凸显了无氧三维电极在促进有价值化学品的合成和推进环境修复方面的多功能性。这项研究介绍了一种创新的电极设计,可促进高效、可持续的 H2O2 合成,同时实现后续的环境修复。

Evaluation of Natural Organic Additives as Eco-friendly Inhibitors for Calcium and Magnesium Scale Formation in Water Systems 评估天然有机添加剂作为环保型抑制剂在供水系统中形成钙镁垢的情况
IF 6.7 Q1 ENGINEERING, ENVIRONMENTAL Pub Date : 2024-10-14 DOI: 10.1021/acsenvironau.4c0007610.1021/acsenvironau.4c00076

Mineral scale formation reduces the heat transfer efficiency and clogs pipes and valves, increasing power consumption. To address the environmental concerns of conventional scale inhibitors, this paper explores biodegradable and eco-friendly alternatives. It examines the effects of organic additives on calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) scaling in water vaporization. Batch experiments were conducted with potable water and various organic molecules (saponin, caffeine, tannic acid, dextran, citrus pectin, Ficoll 400, and Triton X-100). Saponin showed the highest calcium scale inhibition efficiency (60.9%) followed by caffeine (49.6%) and tannic acid (39.6%), while Ficoll 400, pectin, and Triton X-100 were less effective. For the magnesium scale, caffeine was the most effective (97.4%) followed by saponin (88.6%) and tannic acid (67.1%). Inhibition efficiencies for magnesium-containing scales were generally higher than those for calcium scales. Regarding the inhibition mechanisms, saponin, caffeine, dextran, and tannic acid adsorbed onto mineral crystal growth sites according to the Langmuir model, while pectin, Triton X-100, and Ficoll 400 formed complexes with Ca2+ and Mg2+ in solution. Needle-like aragonite was the predominant form of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) with the most additives, except tannic acid, which produced rhombohedral calcite, and caffeine, which promoted flower-like vaterite CaCO3 crystallites. Saponin, caffeine, tannic acid, and dextran are effective, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly inhibitors for mineral scaling.

矿物垢的形成会降低传热效率,堵塞管道和阀门,增加耗电量。为了解决传统阻垢剂的环境问题,本文探讨了可生物降解的环保型替代品。它研究了有机添加剂对水蒸汽中钙(Ca)和镁(Mg)结垢的影响。使用饮用水和各种有机分子(皂素、咖啡因、单宁酸、葡聚糖、柑橘果胶、Ficoll 400 和 Triton X-100)进行了批量实验。皂素的钙垢抑制效率最高(60.9%),其次是咖啡因(49.6%)和单宁酸(39.6%),而 Ficoll 400、果胶和 Triton X-100 的抑制效率较低。对于镁秤来说,咖啡因的效果最好(97.4%),其次是皂素(88.6%)和单宁酸(67.1%)。含镁鳞片的抑制效率普遍高于含钙鳞片。在抑制机理方面,皂素、咖啡因、葡聚糖和单宁酸根据 Langmuir 模型吸附在矿物晶体生长点上,而果胶、Triton X-100 和 Ficoll 400 则与溶液中的 Ca2+ 和 Mg2+ 形成络合物。在大多数添加剂中,针状文石是碳酸钙(CaCO3)的主要形式,但单宁酸和咖啡因除外,单宁酸可生成斜方方解石,而咖啡因可促进花状叶蜡石 CaCO3 结晶。皂素、咖啡因、单宁酸和葡聚糖是有效、可生物降解且环保的矿物结垢抑制剂。

Protein-Decorated Reverse Osmosis Membranes with High Gypsum Scaling Resistance 具有高抗石膏结垢能力的蛋白质净化反渗透膜
IF 6.7 Q1 ENGINEERING, ENVIRONMENTAL Pub Date : 2024-09-29 DOI: 10.1021/acsenvironau.4c0005710.1021/acsenvironau.4c00057

The global challenge of water scarcity has fueled significant interest in membrane desalination, particularly reverse osmosis (RO), for producing fresh water from various unconventional sources. However, mineral scaling remains a critical issue that compromises the membrane efficiency and lifespan. This study explores the use of naturally occurring proteins to develop scaling-resistant RO membranes through an eco-friendly modification method. We systematically evaluate three protein modification techniques, namely, polydopamine (PDA)-assisted coating, protein conditioning, and protein drying, for fabricating membranes resistant to gypsum scaling. Protein conditioning is found to be the most effective approach, resulting in protein-decorated membranes with an exceptional resistance to gypsum scaling. We also demonstrate that a hydrated protein layer is essential for optimal scaling resistance. To further understand the mechanism underlying the scaling resistance of protein-decorated membranes, five proteins (i.e., bovine serum albumin, casein, lactalbumin, lysozyme, and protamine) with distinct physicochemical properties are used to explore the key factors governing membrane scaling resistance. The results of dynamic RO experiments indicate that the molecular weight of proteins plays a crucial role, with higher molecular weights leading to higher membrane scaling resistance through steric effects. However, static experiments of bulk crystallization highlight the importance of electrostatic interactions, where proteins with more negative charge delay gypsum crystallization more effectively. These findings suggest the difference between gypsum scaling in the RO and gypsum crystallization in bulk solutions. Overall, this research offers a novel approach to developing resilient and sustainable RO membranes for the desalination of feedwater with high scaling potential while elucidating mechanistic insights on the mitigating effects of protein on gypsum scaling.

全球缺水的挑战激发了人们对膜法海水淡化,特别是反渗透(RO)技术的极大兴趣,以从各种非常规水源中生产淡水。然而,矿物结垢仍然是影响膜效率和寿命的关键问题。本研究探讨了如何利用天然蛋白质,通过生态友好的改性方法开发抗结垢反渗透膜。我们系统地评估了三种蛋白质改性技术,即聚多巴胺(PDA)辅助涂层、蛋白质调节和蛋白质干燥,用于制造抗石膏结垢的膜。我们发现,蛋白质调节是最有效的方法,它所制成的蛋白质装饰膜具有卓越的抗石膏结垢能力。我们还证明,水合蛋白层对最佳抗结垢性至关重要。为了进一步了解蛋白质装饰膜抗结垢性的内在机制,我们使用了五种具有不同理化特性的蛋白质(即牛血清白蛋白、酪蛋白、乳白蛋白、溶菌酶和原胺)来探索影响膜抗结垢性的关键因素。动态 RO 实验的结果表明,蛋白质的分子量起着关键作用,分子量越高,膜的抗缩放性越高。然而,块状结晶的静态实验则突出了静电相互作用的重要性,带负电荷较多的蛋白质能更有效地延迟石膏结晶。这些发现表明,反渗透膜中的石膏结垢与块状溶液中的石膏结晶是不同的。总之,这项研究为开发弹性和可持续反渗透膜提供了一种新方法,用于淡化具有高结垢潜力的给水,同时阐明了蛋白质对石膏结垢的缓解作用的机理。

Current strategies to assess water quality are ineffective at prioritizing the most toxic chemicals within a treated water sample. Although it is well known that oxidation byproducts (OBPs) from water treatment processes (e.g., chlorination and ozonation) are linked to adverse health outcomes such as skin diseases, reproductive toxicity, and various cancers, we are still unable to account for a large fraction of the toxicity drivers. Previous approaches utilize in vitro or in vivo assays to assess OBPs on an individual basis, which is too time- and resource-intensive considering the countless number of transformation byproducts of unknown toxicities that exist in treated waters. In vitro assays have also been developed to analyze the toxicity of OBPs in environmental mixtures, but these approaches do not provide identification information about the responsible toxicants. Furthermore, an additional challenge for OBP detection arises during the extraction and detection stages of analysis, as certain OBPs are typically lost using traditional extraction methods or are not detectable via liquid-chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) without derivatization. To address these issues, we have developed the analytical assay Solid-Phase Reactivity-directed Extraction (SPREx), which aims to provide an all-in-one evaluation for (i) in chemico toxicity screening, (ii) extraction, (iii) detection, and (iv) identification via LC-HRMS. The performance of SPREx was evaluated by testing different nucleophile probes for the capture and detection of 24 different carbonyl compounds, which serve as model electrophiles and are known OBPs that provide unique extraction and detection challenges. SPREx provided distinct advantages for extraction recoveries and was an effective screening tool for carbonyl detection and quantification in complex water matrices such as drinking water and wastewater.
目前的水质评估策略无法有效地对处理过的水样中毒性最强的化学物质进行优先排序。尽管众所周知,水处理过程(如氯化和臭氧处理)产生的氧化副产物(OBPs)与皮肤病、生殖毒性和各种癌症等不良健康后果有关,但我们仍然无法解释大部分毒性驱动因素。以往的方法是利用体外或体内检测法来单独评估 OBPs,考虑到处理过的水体中存在无数毒性未知的转化副产物,这种方法过于耗费时间和资源。此外,还开发了体外检测方法来分析环境混合物中的 OBPs 的毒性,但这些方法无法提供相关毒性物质的鉴定信息。此外,在萃取和检测分析阶段,OBP 的检测还面临着额外的挑战,因为使用传统的萃取方法通常会损失某些 OBP,或者在没有衍生化的情况下无法通过液相色谱-高分辨质谱(LC-HRMS)检测到 OBP。为了解决这些问题,我们开发了固相反应定向萃取(Solid-Phase Reactivity-directed Extraction,SPREx)分析检测方法,旨在为(i) 化学毒性筛选、(ii) 萃取、(iii) 检测和(iv) 通过液相色谱-高分辨质谱(LC-HRMS)鉴定提供一体化的评估。通过测试不同亲核探针对 24 种不同羰基化合物的捕获和检测,对 SPREx 的性能进行了评估。SPREx 在萃取回收率方面具有明显优势,是饮用水和废水等复杂水基质中羰基检测和定量的有效筛选工具。

Solid-Phase Reactivity-Directed Extraction (SPREx): An Alternative Approach for Simultaneous Extraction, Identification, and Prioritization of Toxic Electrophiles Produced in Water Treatment Applications 固相反应定向萃取(SPREx):同时萃取、鉴定和优先处理水处理应用中产生的有毒电致发光物的替代方法

Current strategies to assess water quality are ineffective at prioritizing the most toxic chemicals within a treated water sample. Although it is well known that oxidation byproducts (OBPs) from water treatment processes (e.g., chlorination and ozonation) are linked to adverse health outcomes such as skin diseases, reproductive toxicity, and various cancers, we are still unable to account for a large fraction of the toxicity drivers. Previous approaches utilize in vitro or in vivo assays to assess OBPs on an individual basis, which is too time- and resource-intensive considering the countless number of transformation byproducts of unknown toxicities that exist in treated waters. In vitro assays have also been developed to analyze the toxicity of OBPs in environmental mixtures, but these approaches do not provide identification information about the responsible toxicants. Furthermore, an additional challenge for OBP detection arises during the extraction and detection stages of analysis, as certain OBPs are typically lost using traditional extraction methods or are not detectable via liquid-chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) without derivatization. To address these issues, we have developed the analytical assay Solid-Phase Reactivity-directed Extraction (SPREx), which aims to provide an all-in-one evaluation for (i) in chemico toxicity screening, (ii) extraction, (iii) detection, and (iv) identification via LC-HRMS. The performance of SPREx was evaluated by testing different nucleophile probes for the capture and detection of 24 different carbonyl compounds, which serve as model electrophiles and are known OBPs that provide unique extraction and detection challenges. SPREx provided distinct advantages for extraction recoveries and was an effective screening tool for carbonyl detection and quantification in complex water matrices such as drinking water and wastewater.

目前的水质评估策略无法有效地确定经过处理的水样中毒性最强的化学物质。尽管众所周知,水处理过程(如氯化和臭氧处理)产生的氧化副产物(OBPs)与皮肤病、生殖毒性和各种癌症等不良健康后果有关,但我们仍然无法解释大部分毒性驱动因素。以往的方法是利用体外或体内检测法来单独评估 OBPs,考虑到处理过的水体中存在无数毒性未知的转化副产物,这种方法过于耗费时间和资源。此外,还开发了体外检测方法来分析环境混合物中的 OBPs 的毒性,但这些方法无法提供相关毒性物质的鉴定信息。此外,在萃取和检测分析阶段,OBP 的检测还面临着额外的挑战,因为使用传统的萃取方法通常会损失某些 OBP,或者在没有衍生化的情况下无法通过液相色谱-高分辨质谱(LC-HRMS)检测到 OBP。为了解决这些问题,我们开发了固相反应定向萃取(Solid-Phase Reactivity-directed Extraction,SPREx)分析检测方法,旨在为(i)化学毒性筛选、(ii)萃取、(iii)检测和(iv)通过液相色谱-高分辨质谱(LC-HRMS)鉴定提供一体化的评估。通过测试不同亲核探针对 24 种不同羰基化合物的捕获和检测,对 SPREx 的性能进行了评估。SPREx 在萃取回收率方面具有明显优势,是饮用水和废水等复杂水基质中羰基检测和定量的有效筛选工具。

Phosphorus is a nonrenewable resource, yet an essential nutrient in crop fertilizers that helps meet growing agricultural and food demands. As a limiting nutrient for primary producers, an excess amount of phosphorus entering water sources through agricultural runoff can lead to eutrophication events downstream. Therefore, to address global issues associated with the depletion of phosphate rock reserves and minimize the eutrophication of water bodies, numerous studies have investigated the removal and recovery of phosphates in usable forms using various chemical, physical, and biological methods. This review provides a comprehensive and critical evaluation of the literature, focusing on the widely employed adsorption and chemical precipitation for phosphate recovery from various wastewaters. Several experimental performance parameters including temperature, pH, coexisting ions (e.g., NO3, HCO3, Cl, SO42–), surface area, porosity, and calcination are highlighted for their importance in optimizing adsorption capacity and struvite crystallization/precipitation. Furthermore, the morphological and structural characterization of various selected adsorbents and precipitated struvite crystals is discussed.

磷是一种不可再生资源,但却是作物肥料中不可或缺的养分,有助于满足日益增长的农业和粮食需求。作为初级生产者的一种限制性养分,过量的磷通过农业径流进入水源会导致下游水体富营养化。因此,为了解决与磷矿石储量枯竭相关的全球性问题,并最大限度地减少水体富营养化,许多研究都采用了各种化学、物理和生物方法来研究如何去除和回收可用形式的磷酸盐。本综述对相关文献进行了全面而严谨的评估,重点介绍了从各种废水中回收磷酸盐时广泛采用的吸附法和化学沉淀法。重点介绍了一些实验性能参数,包括温度、pH 值、共存离子(如 NO3-、HCO3-、Cl-、SO42-)、表面积、孔隙率和煅烧,因为这些参数对优化吸附能力和硬石膏结晶/沉淀非常重要。此外,还讨论了各种选定吸附剂和沉淀的闪石晶体的形态和结构特征。

Microbial Community Changes across Time and Space in a Constructed Wetland 人工湿地微生物群落的时空变化
IF 6.7 Q1 ENGINEERING, ENVIRONMENTAL Pub Date : 2024-07-26 DOI: 10.1021/acsenvironau.4c0002110.1021/acsenvironau.4c00021

Constructed wetlands are artificial ecosystems designed to replicate natural wetland processes. Microbial communities play a pivotal role in cycling essential elements, particularly sulfur, which is crucial for trace metal fixation and remobilization in these ecosystems. By their response to their environment, microbial communities act as biological indicators of the wetland performance. To address knowledge gaps pertinent to the changes in trace metal bioavailability in relation to microbial activities in the H-02 constructed wetland, we performed this study to investigate temporal and spatial variations in microbial communities by using molecular biology tools. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction and next generation sequencing techniques were employed to analyze archaeal and bacterial groups associated with sulfur and methane cycling. Alpha diversity indices were used to assess species richness, evenness, and dominance. Results indicated high gene abundance of Desulfuromonas (5.37 × 106 g.cell–1), methane oxidizing bacteria (6.92 × 106 g.cell–1), and methanogenic microorganisms (3.02 × 105 g.cell–1) during cool months. Warm months were marked by sulfate reducing bacteria dominance (3.31 × 106 g.cell–1), potentially due to competitive interactions and environmental conditions, higher temperatures, and lower redox potential. Spatial variability among microbial groups was insignificant, but trends in gene abundance indicated complex factors influencing these groups. Next generation sequencing data demonstrated Firmicutes as the most abundant phylum with over 50% regardless of the season or sampling location. Cool months exhibited higher alpha diversity than warm months. Overall, this study showed that seasonal changes significantly impacted the microbial communities in the H-02 constructed wetland that are associated with the sulfur cycle and eventually trace metal biogeochemistry, revealing two distinct mechanisms of the sulfur cycle between the two main seasons, whereas spatial variability effects were not conclusive.
