Article Abstract
Static-air-activated carbon fibers (ACFs) with lotus-root-like axially porous structure were used to adsorb 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) from aqueous solution. The adsorption isotherm was evaluated in the pH range 3.0-11.0. Results indicated that both Langmuir and Redlich-Peterson adsorption isotherms were appropriate for describing the adsorption characteristics of 2,4-DCP at various pH values and that lower pH values were favorable for adsorption. The adsorption of 2,4-DCP was controlled by the synergetic effects of pi-pi interaction and electrostatic attraction, and the former was dominant. Breakthrough curve results showed that the 2,4-DCP removal efficiency increased with an increase in the empty-bed contact time (EBCT). An EBCT of 0.660 min was sufficient for the adsorption of 2,4-DCP onto ACF, indicating a high adsorption rate. Desorption experiment results revealed that the ACF saturated with 2,4-DCP could be regenerated effectively by a 0.001 M NaOH solution.

Synthetic dyes, such as Congo red (CR), pose serious threats to human health and aquatic ecosystems because of their carcinogenicity and resistance to degradation, necessitating the development of efficient and eco-friendly remediation strategies. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized via a green method using Ocimum sanctum (holy basil) leaf extract and applied for CR dye removal from aqueous solutions. The adsorption process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) based on Box-Behnken design (BBD), evaluating the influence of key parameters including pH, AgNP dosage, initial dye concentration, contact time, and temperature.

Fluorine-19 magnetic resonance imaging (F MRI) offers distinct advantages, including background-free signal detection, quantitative analysis, and deep tissue penetration. However, its application is currently limited by challenges associated with existing F MRI contrast agents, such as short transverse relaxation times (T), limited imaging sensitivity, and suboptimal biocompatibility. To overcome these limitations, a glutathione (GSH)-responsive triblock copolymer (PB7), featuring self-immolative characteristics, has been developed.

Flavonoids are a major class of natural polyphenolic compounds with potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Among them, quercetin and catechin have been widely studied due to their significant health benefits and potent free radical scavenging activity. The efficient extraction and separation of these structurally similar antioxidants remains challenging, necessitating the development of high-performance adsorbents.

Microbial contamination of absorbable collagen membranes used in guided bone regeneration (GBR) may compromise healing outcomes. This study aimed to investigate whether the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of hydrogen peroxide (HO) can improve the antibacterial effect of indocyanine green (ICG)-mediated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) on absorbable collagen membranes while reducing the need for high HO concentrations. A laboratory-based model was developed using Streptococcus sanguinis and Staphylococcus aureus.
