Roxarsone (3-nitro-4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid) is an extensively used organoarsenic feed additive. The effective removal of arsenic from roxarsone degradation before discharging is of great importance for controlling artificial arsenic pollution in aquatic environment. In this study, a bifunctional TiO2/ferrihydrite (TiO2/FeOOH) hybrid was synthesized by a hydrothermal method for the simultaneously photocatalytic degradation of roxarsone and adsorption removal of released arsenic. The analysis of the prepared TiO2/FeOOH by field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the successful formation of the hybrid of crystalline TiO2 and no crystalline FeOOH. TiO2/FeOOH hybrid had better adsorption capacity for As(V) than roxarsone. Compared to TiO2, the TiO2/FeOOH hybrid exhibited much superior UV-driven photocatalytic activities for roxarsone degradation. After 12 h irradiation, more than 96% of roxarsone was degraded by 11 TiO2/FeOOH hybrid, and the released As(V) was simultaneously removed from the solution. The residual As(V) concentration was lower than 0.02 mg L-1. The reusability test indicated that TiO2/FeOOH hybrid had excellent stability and reliability. The possible mechanism of roxarsone degradation and released inorganic arsenics removal by this hybrid was also proposed. These results clearly indicated that the TiO2/FeOOH hybrid could be used for the removal of roxarsone and its degradation product.Excess sludge contains a high amount of protein, which can be recovered to prepare protein foaming agents and other products with high added value. Enzymatic hydrolysis (EH) is a promising technology for the recovery of protein from excess sludge, and ultrasound has been identified as a potential method to assist in sludge disintegration. Ultrasonic pretreatment was combined with alkaline protease hydrolysis to extract protein from excess sludge produced by A2/O treatment (S1) and an oxidation ditch treatment (S2), and the extraction effects and changes in sludge dewatering performance were studied. The effects of the six factors ultrasonic power density, ultrasonication time, enzyme dose, pH, hydrolysis temperature and hydrolysis time were analyzed. Crenigacestat The results showed that the ultrasound-enhanced enzymatic method could effectively extract sludge protein. Although the extraction efficiencies for the different municipal sludges were different, their extraction conditions were relatively similar. Considering the protein extraction rate and sludge dewatering performance, the selected extraction conditions were as follows ultrasonic power density, 1 W/mL; ultrasonication time, 20 min; enzyme dose, 3500 U/g; pH 11; hydrolysis temperature, 60 °C; and hydrolysis time, 3 h. Under these conditions, the protein extraction rate (Rp) of S1 and S2 reached 55.9% and 52.3%, respectively. Moreover, the improvement in sludge dewatering performance (Dw) of S1 and S2 was 49.5% and 52.4%, respectively. Comparison of the protein, polypeptide, and amino acid contents obtained from ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis (UEH), EH, and ultrasonic hydrolysis (UH) further demonstrated the beneficial effect of ultrasound application on enzymatic hydrolysis.Owing to their physical and chemical properties, particles generated by the abrasion of tyre tread against road surfaces, or tyre wear particles, are recognised as microplastics. Recent desk-based studies suggest tyre wear to be a major contributor of microplastic emissions to the environment. This study aimed to quantify tyre wear in roadside drains and the natural environment near to a major road intersection. Tyre particles were identified by visual identification and a subsample confirmed as tyre wear by GC-MS using N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazolamine (NCBA) as a marker. The abundance of tyre wear within roadside drains was greater in areas associated with increased braking and accelerating than that with high traffic densities (p =  less then  0.05). Tyre particle abundance in the natural environment ranged from 0.6 ± 0.33 to 65 ± 7.36 in 5 mL of material, with some evidence of decline with distance from the road. This study offers preliminary data regarding the generation and abundance of this under-researched microplastic.This study was conducted to assess the concentrations of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in soils of tobacco field and plants were collected in the edge of Sichuan Basin, China (Panzihua, Guangyuan, Luzhou and Yibin). Ecological risk of Cd and Pb in soil and human health risk from tobacco leaves were also assessed. The maximum Cd and Pb concentrations in soil were obtained in Yibin (2.94 mg/kg) and Luzhou (54.2 mg/kg), respectively. Ecological risk of Cd and Pb in tobacco soils was assessed based on geoaccumulation index, potential ecological risk (PER) and toxic units. Among four study sites, Cd and Pb concentrations in leaves and stems of Yibin were higher than all samples collected from other three study sites. Health risk was estimated from the concentration of Cd and Pb in tobacco leaves. The carcinogenic risk range for Cd was 7.9E - 04 to 1.4E - 01 and for Pb was 5.7E - 03 to 2.8E - 02, respectively. The increased chronic carcinogenic values for Cd in Luzhou and Yibin crossed the USEPA acceptable limit (> 1.00E - 4) indicating that Cd poses cancer risk after consumption of tobacco leaves.Planktonic ciliate composition and distribution together with physicochemical variables were investigated in a shallow hypersaline lagoon, Pulicat, India, during three seasons, i.e., pre-monsoon (PRM), monsoon (MON), and post-monsoon (POM). The low freshwater inflow, evaporation, and closure of the lake mouth were the main factors for the hypersaline conditions in Pulicat Lake. The average depth and salinity were 1.8 ± 0.12 m (0.8 to 2.8 m) and 35.3 ± 1.68 (12.5 to 61), respectively. A total of 29 ciliate taxa belonging to 18 genera and five classes were identified. Strombidium conicum (24%) was the dominant species followed by Euplotes sp. (10.7%) and Stenosomella sp. (7.02%). Spirotrichea (84%) was the dominant class followed by Oligohymenophorea (9.6%) and Heterotrichea (5.8%). Fabrea salina, a typical species in hypersaline systems, was abundant at locations where the salinity was more than 35. Multivariate analysis using the Bray-Curtis similarity, followed by SIMPROF (Similarity Percentage Analysis), on ciliate abundance data revealed three ciliate assemblages characterizing south, central, and north of the lake at 40% similarity (SIMPROF, cophenetic correlation = 0.
