RESUMEN
In view of the problems caused by chromium-containing wastewater, such as environmental pollution, biological toxicity, and human health risks. Based on fly ash adsorption and nano-FeS reduction characteristics, fly ash loaded nano-FeS composite (nFeS-FA) was synthesized using mineral supported modification technology and ultrasonic precipitation method. The effect of adsorbent dosage, initial pH, contact time, and initial concentration of the solution on the adsorption of Cr(VI) and total Cr by nFeS-FA was investigated. The characteristics of Cr(VI) and total Cr adsorption by nFeS-FA were studied using adsorption isotherms, adsorption kinetics principles, as well as XRD, TEM, SEM-EDS, and BET analysis. The results demonstrated that under the conditions of nFeS-FA of 8 g/L, initial pH of 4, contact time of 150 min, and initial concentration of the solution at 100 mg/L, nFeS-FA achieved removal efficiency of 87.85 % for Cr(VI) and 71.77 % for total Cr. The adsorption of Cr(VI) and total Cr by nFeS-FA followed the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model, indicating monolayer adsorption with chemical adsorption as the dominant mechanism. XRD, TEM, SEM-EDS, and BET revealed that the flaky nano-FeS was uniformly distributed on the surface of fly ash, exhibiting good dispersion and thereby increasing the specific surface area. During the adsorption experiments, nFeS-FA reacted with Cr(VI), and the generated Fe3+ mainly existed as FeOOH precipitation, while S2- reacted with Cr(III) to produce Cr2S3 precipitation. Therefore, nFeS-FA exhibited excellent adsorption performance towards Cr(VI) and total Cr. It can serve as a technological reference for the remediation of heavy metal chromium pollution in the field of water treatment.
RESUMEN
Presently, there are several issues associated with solid waste fly ash, such as its accumulation and storage, low comprehensive utilization rate, lack of high-value utilization technology, environmental risk and ecological impact. Thus, based on the high silica content and adsorption characteristics of fly ash, two novel adsorbents, namely mesoporous silica-based material (MSM) and sodium dodecyl sulfate-modified fly ash (SDS-FA), were prepared using an ultrasound-assisted alkali fusion-hydrothermal method and surface modification method. Furthermore, effects of adsorbent dosage, initial pH, contact time, and initial concentration of the solution on the adsorption of the organic pollutant methylene blue (MB) by fly ash, MSM, and SDS-FA were investigated to select the optimal modified high silica fly ash adsorbent. Based on the adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetics, together with SEM, XRD, FTIR and BET analyses, the adsorption mechanism of MSM for MB was revealed. The results showed that under the conditions of an adsorbent dosage of 2 g L-1, initial pH of 9, contact time of 150 min, and initial concentration of 100 mg L-1, MSM and SDS-FA exhibited removal efficiencies of 92.69% and 84.64% for MB, respectively, which were significantly higher than that of fly ash alone. The adsorption of MB by MSM and SDS-FA followed the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics, indicating monolayer adsorption with chemical adsorption as the dominant mechanism. The mechanism of the adsorption of MB by MSM is mainly the result of the synergistic effect among its increased specific surface area, hydrogen bonding, ion exchange, and electrostatic interactions. After five cycles of adsorption-desorption process, the removal efficiency of MSM for MB consistently remained above 80%. Therefore, MSM can serve as a valuable reference for the resource utilization of fly ash and remediation of dye-polluted wastewater.
RESUMEN
Aiming at the acid mine drainage (AMD) in zinc, copper and other heavy metals treatment difficulties, severe pollution of soil and water environment and other problems. Through the ultrasonic precipitation method, this study prepared fly ash-loaded nano-FeS composites (nFeS-F). The effects of nFeS-F dosage, pH, stirring rate, reaction time and initial concentration of the solution on the adsorption of Zn(II) and Cu(II) were investigated. The data were fitted by Lagergren first and second-order kinetic equations, Internal diffusion equation, Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, and combined with SEM, TEM, FTIR, TGA, and XPS assays to reveal the mechanism of nFeS-F adsorption of Zn(II) and Cu(II). The results demonstrated that: The removal of Zn(II) and Cu(II) by nFeS-F could reach 83.36% and 70.40%, respectively (The dosage was 8 g/L, pH was 4, time was 150 min, and concentration was 100 mg/L). The adsorption process, mainly chemical adsorption, conforms to the Lagergren second-order kinetic equation (R2 = 0.9952 and 0.9932). The adsorption isotherms have a higher fitting degree with the Langmuir model (R2 = 0.9964 and 0.9966), and the adsorption is a monolayer adsorption process. This study can provide a reference for treating heavy metals in acid mine drainage and resource utilization of fly ash.
RESUMEN
Two new tetracopper(II) complexes bridged by N-benzoate-N'-[3-(diethylamino)propyl]oxamide (H3bdpox), and ended with 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (Me2bpy) or 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), namely [Cu4(bdpox)2(Me2bpy)2](pic)2 (1) and [Cu4(bdpox)2(bpy)2](pic)2·2H2O (2) (where pic denotes the picrate anion) have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction and other methods. In both complexes, four copper(II) ions are bridged alternately by the cis-oxamido and the carboxylato groups of two bdpox(3-) ligands to form a centrosymmetric cyclic tetranuclear cation, in which, the copper(II) ions at the endo- and exo-sites of cis-bdpox(3-) ligand have square-planar and square-pyramidal coordination geometries, respectively. The reactivity towards DNA/BSA suggests that these complexes can interact with HS-DNA through the intercalation mode and the binding affinity varies as 1>2 depending on the hydrophobicity, and effectively quench the fluorescence of protein BSA via a static mechanism. In vitro anticancer activities showed that the two complexes are active against the selected tumor cell lines, and the anticancer activities are consistent with their DNA-binding affinity.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a widely used and effective therapy for hematopoietic malignant diseases and numerous other disorders. High-resolution human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotype frequency distributions not only facilitate individual donor searches but also determine the probability with which a particular patient can find HLA-matched donors in a registry. The frequencies of the HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, and -DQB1 alleles and haplotypes were estimated among 169,995 Chinese volunteers using the sequencing-based typing (SBT) method. Totals of 191 HLA-A, 244 HLA-B, 146 HLA-C, 143 HLA-DRB1 and 47 HLA-DQB1 alleles were observed, which accounted for 6.98%, 7.06%, 6.46%, 9.11% and 7.91%, respectively, of the alleles in each locus in the world (IMGT 3.16 Release, Apr. 2014). Among the 100 most common haplotypes from the 169,995 individuals, nine distinct haplotypes displayed significant regionally specific distributions. Among these, three were predominant in the South China region (i.e., the 20th, 31st, and 81sthaplotypes), another three were predominant in the Southwest China region (i.e., the 68th, 79th, and 95th haplotypes), one was predominant in the South and Southwest China regions (the 18th haplotype), one was relatively common in the Northeast and North China regions (the 94th haplotype), and one was common in the Northeast, North and Northwest China (the 40th haplotype). In conclusion, this is the first to analyze high-resolution HLA diversities across the entire country of China, based on a detailed and complete data set that covered 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities. Specifically, we also evaluated the HLA matching probabilities within and between geographic regions and analyzed the regional differences in the HLA diversities in China. We believe that the data presented in this study might be useful for unrelated HLA-matched donor searches, donor registry planning, population genetic studies, and anthropogenesis studies.
