The purpose of this study was to improve the characterization of MPs in complex biosolid matrices by optimizing sample preparation for morphological and chemical analyses with different spectroscopic techniques. We compared extraction procedures involving Fenton oxidation (F), Fenton plus sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and Fenton plus cellulase (FE). We performed partial particle sample counting along with a helical shape, corresponding to 56 % of sample area, and total particle counting. Chemical characterization was performed using sub-micron optical-photothermal infrared (O-PTIR) spectroscopy, and the results were compared with those obtained via commonly employed Raman and Fourier transform infrared absorption microspectroscopy technique (µ-FTIR). Our FE protocol yielded a slightly higher total sample mass removal (97 %±0.3 %) compared to other pre-treatment methods. No significant difference was observed in the total MPs count between the two approaches, indicating a homogeneous distribution across the filter and supporting reliable quantification using only half the filter in the helical method. O-PTIR's high spatial resolution (down to 0.5 µm) and absence of spectral artefacts compared to Raman and µ-FTIR enabled accurate identification of fine fibers (2 µm wide) and small particles (∼5 µm). Single-frequency O-PTIR imaging revealed well-defined particles clearly separated from their surroundings, highlighting the technique's potential for particle identification. The findings highlight the need to combine effective sample pre-treatment with high-resolution chemical analysis to improve understanding of plastic fate in the environment and supporting future policy development or regulatory updates on plastic content in biosolids.</p>","PeriodicalId":94082,"journal":{"name":"Journal of hazardous materials","volume":"496 ","pages":"139448"},"PeriodicalIF":11.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144791131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we successfully produced FAST-PETase at a large scale using the silk gland expression system of Bombyx mori and integrated an optimized FAST-PETase gene into the B. mori genome using genetic engineering technology.

In this study, a laccase-mediated directional regulation strategy of LB components was innovatively proposed to target the design of biochar rich in the C=O group. Using wheat straw (WS) as a model feedstock, the properties and performance of biochar derived from native WS (BC-WS) and laccase-pretreated WS residue (BC-LR) were compared. Laccase pretreatment significantly enhanced the C=O group content of BC-LR by 213 %, achieved through a 27 % reduction in the relative lignin content and a corresponding increase in cellulose proportion. BC-LR demonstrated superior catalytic activity and reactive oxygen species yield than BC-WS in PMS activation, with strong positive correlations observed between its C=O content and phenol degradation kinetics (R<sup>2</sup>=0.9145) as well as PMS decomposition kinetics (R<sup>2</sup>=0.9957). Mechanistic investigations revealed that C=O-mediated non-radical pathway (including <sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub> and surface electron transfer) and adsorbed carbon transfer pathway dominated the phenol removal process in the BC-LR/PMS system. Notably, the BC-LR/PMS system exhibited broad-spectrum degradation of typical pollutants such as bisphenol F, o-phenylphenol, and naproxen. In addition, the system exhibited robust performance in dynamic remediation experiments under diverse hydrogeological conditions, achieving high efficiency in complex environments. This study elucidates the critical role of LB components in determining the C=O content and catalytic performance of biochar, providing a foundation for the tailored design of high-performance biochar for PMS catalytic environments.</p>","PeriodicalId":94082,"journal":{"name":"Journal of hazardous materials","volume":"496 ","pages":"139417"},"PeriodicalIF":11.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144791134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
