The biodegradation and adsorption potential of CIP is crucial for its elimination in wastewater treatment systems. However conventional methods in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) often struggle to efficiently eliminate of CIP from water due to its chemically stability and nonbiodegradability. Many researchers observed that CIP was not biodegraded even after 48 days in municipal WWTP, therefor no CIP removal occurred. The objective of this study was to investigate adsorption potential of CIP using a designed electrospun nanofiber. Within the scope of this purpose, we prepared electrospun acrylic acid (AAc)-based hydrogels modified with n-hexadecyl acrylate (C16A) for the first time and evaluated their efficacy in removing CIP from water. Our results show that the desired fiber size and surface smoothness can be obtained in the electrospun hydrogel containing 35 mol% of C16A. As a result, the AAc-based hydrogel nanofiber containing 35 mol% C16A exhibited superior adsorption properties. The adsorption efficiency of the hydrogel for CIP removal from aqueous medium was as high as 98% under equilibrium conditions. The adsorption process was found to follow the pseudo-second-order model, which suggests chemisorption as the dominant mechanism. Isothermal analysis showed that the adsorption fit well with the Langmuir model, suggesting single layer adsorption on a uniform surface. These results highlight the potential of AAc-based hydrogels for the sustainable removal of pharmaceuticals from wastewater, addressing a critical need in environmental contaminant management.</p><h3>Graphical 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":"33 4","pages":"1705 - 1721"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10924-025-03504-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143668147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bacterial Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB-B) was produced by submerged culture of <i>Cupriavidus necator</i> using commercial sugarcane molasses (CSM) as a renewable substrate.

The focus is on elucidating the mechanisms of degradation and structural changes through structure characterization and thermal analysis techniques. Complementing the experimental analyses, a comprehensive computational study evaluates the interactions between the enzyme and the PU structures. The computational results are then compared with the experimental findings, providing a thorough understanding of these interactions. The findings underscore the potential of enzymatic degradation of PU and the effectiveness of enzyme mixtures, especially the combination of lipase and peroxidase, as well as the synergistic action of all three enzymes. Peroxidase emerges as a highly efficient catalyst for PU degradation, complementing the esterase and amidase enzymes previously studied in this context.

They are known to consist of a number of bioactive polysaccharides, fucoidan being the principal polysaccharide.

However, the main mechanisms bridging the structural complexity of fucoidans and their biological activity are mostly unexplored. This study aimed to compare the structural features and the antimicrobial properties of the fucoidan extracts isolated from the two brown macroalgae, <i>Fucus vesiculosus</i> and <i>Saccharina latissima</i>, sampled in the littoral zone of the Barents Sea. The physicochemical properties of fucoidans and their polyelectrolyte properties were investigated. The antibacterial activity of fucoidans was evaluated using the disc diffusion method against <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> (gram-positive bacteria), <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>, and <i>Proteus mirabilis</i> (gram-negative bacteria). It was shown that fucoidans inhibited the growth of both gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. At the concentration of 0.25–0.5%, the highest clear inhibition zones were observed for all the studied bacteria. The high antibacterial activity of fucoidans was due to the availability of functional groups and the particle sizes of fucoidan molecules that affect the cell membranes of the bacterial microflora.
