Waste-derived VFAs gained attention due to their broad applications as substrates for biomethane and bioplastic or bio-based chemicals, replacing petrochemical-based ones. This study proposed the next generation of CP waste management for VFAs production as renewable and inexpensive substrates for biogas and bioplastic prospects. A microbial consortium enriched with hydrolytic and acidogenic bacteria (EHA) was used as inoculum seed for anaerobic fermentation of CP to produce VFAs. The stepwise increasing substrate to 5% CP resulted in VFAs yield of up to 0.16 g acetic acid and 0.22 g butyric acids per g of CP added, requiring only 1% of microbial inoculum. Acid-tolerant spore-forming <i>Clostridium</i> dominated the EHA consortium and was easy to maintain during stress conditions. If the annual CP generated is subjected to this proposed waste management system, 0.31 million tons of acetic acid and 0.43 million tons of butyric acid can be produced annually. These VFAs can be further used as mixed VFAs for biomethane and bioplastic production prospects or extracted as a pure VFA and sold to the chemicals market. Moreover, bio-transformation of CP into VFAs through fermentation using the special EHA consortium requires minimum operational cost and produces high-economy products while minimizing greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. This next-generation CP waste utilization will be of good use in the future by contributing to sustainable development goals.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":659,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymers and the Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141573029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The side effects associated with traditional chemotherapy, such as neurotoxicity, liver or kidney dysfunction, highlight the urgent need for novel breast cancer therapies. In this regard, local delivery of chemotherapeutics has been emerged to be one of the efficient methods to eradicate the tumor cells. Injectable hydrogels were developed as drug delivery systems for localized drug accumulation and controlled drug release at the tumor site. Hydrogels are 3D network of polymeric structures with notable biocompatibility, swelling properties and mechanical strength. In fact, an injectable hydrogel enhances drug delivery efficiency, reduces systemic drug cytotoxicity, minimizes the essential drug dosage and frequency of drug administration. The studies based on injectable hydrogels for specific cancer therapy showed that such platforms are more effective and durable methods than traditional chemotherapy. Additionally, they are vastly used in inhibiting postsurgical tumor recurrence. These hydrogel platforms can integrate multiple breast cancer therapies into a single structure to improve the treatment efficacy. In this review, a variety of injectable hydrogel drug delivery platforms were discussed for several types of applications, such as gene therapy, drug delivery, immunotherapy, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and combined therapies with synergistic effects against breast cancer. Moreover, we provided a brief summary of the recent advances in the application of such hydrogels for breast cancer treatment. This review provides insight into the recent advancements in injectable hydrogels and discusses the potential future applications and challenges associated with this drug delivery technology toward cancer therapy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":659,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymers and the Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141573030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tests were also conducted to quantify the decrease in phosphate, chloride ions, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in real water samples taken from the Ankara stream, which receives effluents from both urban (UWTP) and industrial (IWTP) wastewater treatment plants. Five different columns with varying adsorptive properties were prepared, some of which were combined with iron. The EPS-@PC-C5 column demonstrated the highest adsorption ratio for nitrate removal compared to the other tested columns. The EPS@PC-C5 achieved a high removal efficiency of 126.38 mg nitrate/g and showed COD reduction ranging from 60.2 to 94.1%. The removal ratio of chloride concentration varied between 56.0 and 75.7%, while the removal of phosphates ranged from 87 to 99%.

However, the high crystallinity of polyester fibers, combined with limited enzyme activity and stability, challenges the surface modification study of enzymes. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) can create a favorable environment for proteins and are a new generation of biodegradable solvents. Few studies have been conducted on the use of DES to enhance enzymatic degradation. Therefore, we attempted to hydrolyze PET with DES-activated enzymes to increase the hydrolysis yield and thus improve PET modification. Using betaine and choline chloride as hydrogen bond acceptors and polyols as hydrogen bond donors, we investigated the effects of DES type, molar ratio, and concentration on enzymatic hydrolysis. <i>Humicola insolens</i> cutinase (HiC) was used as the biocatalyst for PET fabric hydrolysis, the role of DES as an additive in improving the yield of enzymatically hydrolyzed PET fabric was investigated. The results showed that under the conditions of an enzyme concentration of 6.5% v/v (volume of enzyme on the total volume), a temperature of 60 °C, and a reaction time of 72 h, the low concentration (20% v/v) of DES (betaine: sorbitol; 1:2 molar ratio) increased the hydrolysis yield by more than 1.5 times. Enzymatic hydrolysis in DES aqueous solution (betaine: sorbitol; 1:2 molar ratio) and DES single-component aqueous solution (betaine, sorbitol without synthesis of DES) indicated that the increase in hydrolysis yield was mainly due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between betaine and sorbitol, rather than the superposition of individual components. Further analysis revealed that HiC exhibited high relative enzyme activity and stability at low DES concentrations. Additionally, CD spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy analyses demonstrated the effective preservation of HiC structure by DES. Our work provides insights into the development of efficient and sustainable methods to enhance HiC hydrolysis of PET fabric, unlocking new opportunities and potential for the comprehensive utilization of DES in the bio-modification of PET fabric.</p><h3>Graphic Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":659,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymers and the Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141573032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
