Experimental dataset on preparation and characterization of black sand mineral-based as photocatalyst.

ABSTRACT: Heterogeneous photocatalysis with natural minerals (geocatalysis) has been considered for a wide variety of redox processes, which require the participation of metals either as catalysts or promoters in the reactive system. Black mineral sand as raw material (RM), which is a natural composite frequently found in coastal deposits, was used for the preparation of a semiconductor potential. Due to iron content of mineral, it was applied several magnetic fields (0.0311 and 0.1645 Tesla) to obtain the fractions M1 and M2, respectively. The fraction that was not magnetically attracted was named NM. The chemical, structural and optical properties of each obtained composite were characterized by Zeta potential (?), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), energy-dispersive X-Ray analysis (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), BET area, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and UV-Vis spectroscopy techniques.

A Low-Cost Metal-Free Photocatalyst Based on Black Phosphorus.

Project description:An efficient metal-free photocatalyst composed of black phosphorus (BP) and graphitic carbon nitride (CN) is prepared on a large scale by ball milling. Using economical urea and red phosphorus (RP) as the raw materials, the estimated materials cost of BP/CN is 0.235 Euro per gram. The BP/CN heterostructure shows efficient charge separation and possesses abundant active sites, giving rise to excellent photocatalytic H2 evolution and rhodamine B (RhB) degradation efficiency. Without using a co-catalyst, the metal-free BP/CN emits H2 consistently at a rate as large as 786 µmol h-1 g-1 and RhB is decomposed in merely 25 min during visible-light irradiation. The corresponding electron/hole transfer and catalytic mechanisms are analyzed and described. The efficient metal-free catalyst is promising in visible-light photocatalysis and the simple ball-milling synthetic method can be readily scaled up.

Dataset of mineral contents of fine-sand and silt-sized soil particles from deserts in China and Mongolia.

Project description:There are over 70 types of mineral species in desert soils. Previous data have focused on major mineral contents and thus, the identification of minor mineral species is lacking. The diversity of minor mineral species was investigated in 19 surficial sediments from deserts in China and Mongolia. A modern scanning electron microscope (SEM)-based in-situ mineral mapping technique was used to determine the minor mineral species concentrations. For further analysis and interpretation, the identified species were grouped into felsic, mica, carbonate, heavy, rare earth, and salt-type minerals. The data in this article demonstrate that the concentrations of felsic, mica, and carbonate minerals are higher than those of the other mineral groups, and thus can be used to provide evidence of sediment provenance. The obtained mineral concentrations were converted from the relative area percentage for each mineral species using standard mineral density data. Mineral mapping was performed using the mineral liberation analysis platform, and on average, approximately 40,000 single particles per sample were analyzed to achieve an accurate quantification of the mineral concentrations. For each of the analyzed single particles, the particle shape parameters, such as particle length and width, were stored and can be used to trace the sediment transport process. For a deeper interpretation of the data presented herein, please see the related research article "Provenance of Fe in Chinese Deserts: Evidence from the geochemistry and mineralogy of soil particles" [1].

RNAseq based variant dataset in a black poplar association panel.

Project description:ObjectiveBlack poplar (Populus nigra L.) is a species native to Eurasia with a wide distribution area. It is an ecologically important species from riparian ecosystems, that is used as a parent of interspecific (P. deltoides x P. nigra) cultivated poplar hybrids. Variant detection from transcriptomics sequences of 241 P. nigra individuals, sampled in natural populations from 11 river catchments (in four European countries) is described here. These data provide new valuable resources for population structure analysis, population genomics and genome-wide association studies.Data descriptionWe generated transcriptomics data from a mixture of young differentiating xylem and cambium tissues of 480 Populus nigra trees sampled in a common garden experiment located at Orléans (France), corresponding to 241 genotypes (2 clonal replicates per genotype, at maximum) by using RNAseq technology. We launched on the resulting sequences an in-silico pipeline that allowed us to obtain 878,957 biallelic polymorphisms without missing data. More than 99% of these positions are annotated and 98.8% are located on the 19 chromosomes of the P. trichocarpa reference genome. The raw RNAseq sequences are available at the NCBI Sequence Read Archive SPR188754 and the variant dataset at the Recherche Data Gouv repository under https://doi.org/10.15454/8DQXK5 .

Oxidized Carbon Black: Preparation, Characterization and Application in Antibody Delivery across Cell Membrane.

Project description:Modulating biomolecular networks in cells with peptides and proteins has become a promising therapeutic strategy and effective biological tools. A simple and effective reagent that can bring functional proteins into cells can increase efficacy and allow more investigations. Here we show that the relatively non-toxic and non-immunogenic oxidized carbon black particles (OCBs) prepared from commercially available carbon black can deliver a 300 kDa protein directly into cells, without an involvement of a cellular endocytosis. Experiments with cell-sized liposomes indicate that OCBs directly interact with phospholipids and induce membrane leakages. Delivery of human monoclonal antibodies (HuMAbs, 150 kDa) with specific affinity towards dengue viruses (DENV) into DENV-infected Vero cells by OCBs results in HuMAbs distribution all over cells' interior and effective viral neutralization. An ability of OCBs to deliver big functional/therapeutic proteins into cells should open doors for more protein drug investigations and new levels of antibody therapies and biological studies.

Preparation of CdS@C Photocatalyst Using Phytoaccumulation Cd Recycled From Contaminated Wastewater.

Project description:Cadmium is one of the most toxic heavy metal contaminants in soils and water bodies and poses a serious threat to ecosystems and humans. However, cadmium is also an important resource widely used in many industries. The recovery of cadmium in the form of high-value products is considered as an ideal disposal strategy for Cd-contaminated environments. In this work, Pistia stratiotes was used to recycle cadmium from wastewaters through phytoaccumulation and then transformed into carbon-supported cadmium sulfide photocatalyst (CdS@C) through carbonization and hydrothermal reaction. The CdS@C photocatalyst contained a mixture of cubic and hexagonal CdS with lower band gap energy (2.14 eV) and high electron-hole separation efficiency, suggesting an excellent photoresponse ability and photocatalytic efficiency. The impressive stability and photocatalytic performance of CdS@C were demonstrated in efficient photodegradation of organic pollutants. •OH and O2•- were confirmed as the major active species for organic pollutants degradation during CdS@C photocatalysis. This work provides new insights into addressing Cd contaminated water bodies and upcycling in the form of photocatalyst.

Experimental dataset supporting the physical and mechanical characterization of industrial base tissue papers.

Project description:Tissue paper is defined by its physical and mechanical properties, namely: high softness, low grammage, high bulk and high liquid absorption capacity. It is expected that the production of tissue paper will continue to grow, which increases the importance of better understanding the processes involved in its production as well as its optimization [1]. The experimental data presented in this article, are the physical-mechanical characterization of a group of 13 industrial base tissue papers, which were collected at the end of the tissue paper machine on Portuguese factories. These samples vary in grammage, composition and creping [2], enabling a later evaluation of the crepe type [3] and its relationship with the final properties of the tissue paper.

Dataset of the preparation and characterization of an artificial sludge for ecotoxicological purposes.

Project description:This work describes the protocol developed for preparing an artificial digested sludge to be used for the ecotoxicological evaluation and risk assessment of chemical substances that are previewed to attain the soil through sewage sludge applications for fertilization (e.g. pharmaceutical compounds). Such evaluations have been made with standard protocols for ecotoxicological tests with terrestrial species in which the chemical substances are directly spiked to the test soil. This procedure lacks ecological relevance in terms of the role the sludge organic matter plays on the bioavailability and fate of chemical substances. Here we describe the protocol and the composition for obtaining the artificial sludge, prepared with commercial pet food and eggs white to mimic the composition of domestic sewage sludge in terms of proteins, carbon hydrates, fat and fibers content. Further, the conditions ascertained for the anaerobic digestion of the organic mixture are described, and the final properties of the sludge are presented, after repeating the procedure twice.

Dataset on photocatalytic degradation of Levofloxacin using hydroxyapatite photocatalyst: Optimization by response surface methodology.

Project description:The upsurge of antibiotic usage in the 20th century has resulted in increasing levels of pharmaceutical compounds in bodies of water. A particular antibiotic, levofloxacin, is a third-generation quinolone known to target Gram-positive organisms like atypical pathogens. Chronic toxic effects of levofloxacin to some microorganisms lead to the disruption of marine ecosystems. Unfortunately, a relatively low concentration of levofloxacin in water bodies discourages researchers from exploring potential risk assessment and removal in wastewater treatment plants. In this article, aqueous levofloxacin was degraded using hydroxyapatite catalyst under UV-irradiation. Response Surface Methodology (Box Behnken Model) was used to model and optimize the degradation efficiency parameter. The response was fitted into a 2-factor interaction equation revealing a satisfactory ANOVA evaluation (R2=97.08%, adjusted R2= 94.89, predicted R2=91.1%). An optimal photodegradation efficiency was determined to attain the following conditions: 1.5 g/L catalyst dose, 4 ppm levofloxacin, and a pH level of 10. The model predicted a value of 71.6% degradation efficiency, which is very close to 70.6% generated experimentally.
