Abstract Carbon dioxide was reduced to methane by visible-light irradiation of a solution composed of tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(III) as photosensitizer, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt as sacrificial reagent, methyl viologen as electron relay, and a colloidal dispersion of polymer-protected noble-metal clusters, prepared by alcohol-reduction, as catalyst. Among the noble-metal clusters examined, Pt clusters showed the highest activity for the formation of methane as well as hydrogen. In order to improve the activity, oxidized clusters and bimetallic clusters were also applied. For example, the CH4 yield in 3-h irradiation increased from 51 x 10-3 μmol with unoxidized Pt clusters to 72 x 10-3 μmol with partially oxidized ones. In the case of Pt/Ru bimetalic systems, the improvement of the catalytic activity by air treatment was much greater than in case of monometallic clusters.

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid Disodium Salt

In this paper, novel Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA) functionalized magnetite/ chitosan nanospheres (Fe3O4/CS-EDTA) are synthesized by combining solvothermal method and chemical modification, and they are further applied as a kind of adsorbent to eliminate dye of methylene blue (MB) from wastewater. The properties as well as structure exhibited by the fabricated adsorbent are characterized through FTIR, XRD, TG and TEM, together with VSM. The impact exerted by sorption parameters (time of contact, initial dye concentration, temperature, etc.) on the adsorptions were evaluated in batch system. These results demonstrated that our magnetic materials held the adsorption capacity for MB of 256 mg g−1 (pH = 11), and the kinetic model of pseudo-second-order and the Langmuir model could make an effective simulation regarding the adsorption kinetics and isotherm, respectively. Besides, the external magnetic field can assist in easily separating dye adsorbed Fe3O4/CS-EDTA from solution for regeneration. The removal efficiency of recycled adsorbents remained above 92% in the 5th adsorption/desorption cycle. These superioritiesmake Fe3O4/CS-EDTA a high-efficientmultifunctional adsorbent for removing dyes from wastewater.

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid Disodium Salt

Fusarium fungi are the cause of an array of devastating diseases affecting yield losses and accumulating mycotoxins. Fungicides can be exploited against Fusarium and deoxynivalenol (DON) production. However, Fusarium resistance to common chemicals has become a therapeutic challenge worldwide, which indicates that new control agents carrying different mechanisms of action are desperately needed. Here, we found that a nonantibiotic drug, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTANa2), exhibited various antifungal activities against Fusarium species and DON biosynthesis. The infection of wheat seeding caused by F. graminearum was suppressed over 90% at 4 mM EDTANa2. A similar control effect was observed in field tests. Mycotoxin production assays showed DON production was significantly inhibited, 47% lower than the control, by 0.4 mM EDTANa2. In vitro experiments revealed a timely inhibition of H2O2 production as quickly as 4 h after amending cultures with EDTANa2 and the expression of several TRI genes significantly decreased. Chitin synthases of Fusarium were Mn2+-containing enzymes that were strongly inhibited by Mn2+ deficiency. EDTANa2 inhibited chitin synthesis and destroyed the cell wall and cytomembrane integrity of Fusarium, mainly via the chelation of Mn2+ by EDTANa2, and thus led to Mn deficiency in Fusarium cells. Taken together, these findings uncover the potential of EDTANa2 as a fungicide candidate to manage Fusarium head blight (FHB) and DON in agricultural production.
