Abstract

Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) is a widely found emerging pollutant due to its heavy usage as a flame retardant. It is chemically stable and is very difficult to removal from water. The goal of this study was to explore whether iron monosulfide (FeS) can be used for reductive transformation of TCEP as FeS can react with a variety of halogenated organic contaminants. We used batch reactor systems to quantify the transformation reactions in the absence and presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB, a common surfactant in aquatic environments). The results showed that, in the presence of CTAB (100 mg L-1), FeS exhibited much greater reactivity towards TCEP as 93% of initial TCEP had been transformed within 14 d of reaction. In the absence of CTAB, it required 710 d of reaction to achieve 97.3% reduction of initial TCEP. The enhancement of CTAB on TCEP transformation rate could be due to the facts that CTAB could stabilize FeS suspension against aggregation, protect FeS from rapid oxidation, and increase surface adsorption of TCEP on FeS. XPS analysis showed that both Fe(II) and S(-II) species on the FeS surface were involved in the reductive transformation of TCEP. Analysis of transformation products revealed that TCE...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
