Water scarcity is a worldwide concern with various implications, such as widespread pollution with heavy metals and organic pollutants, resulting in global threats to the environment and human health, and calling for innovative remediation strategies. We show here that the capability of protein-based carbon aerogels for removing contaminants from water can be greatly improved by transforming proteins into amyloids before their hydrothermal carbonization. Amyloid fibrils were prepared from whey protein isolate, a byproduct of the dairy industry, and upon addition to different carbohydrates, the ensued mixtures were used for carbon aerogels production Furthermore, the generality of the approach for producing carbon aerogels was demonstrated using vegetable amyloids from soy protein. The carbon aerogels are able to adsorb Au(III), Pt(II), Fe(III), and Ag(I) with excellent removal efficiencies. Moreover, the amyloid whey lactose carbon aerogel has an adsorption capacity of 650.08 mg/g for Au(III), significantly higher than that of a carbon aerogel derived from monomer whey lactose. The reusability of the carbon aerogel is also proven over three continuous adsorption/regeneration cycles, with a stable performance in terms of removal efficiency indicating good long-term use. Taken together, the results demonstrate amyloid carbon aerogels′ capability as an efficient, sustainable, and inexpensive solution for water purification In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 3,7-Bis(dimethylamino)phenothiazin-5-ium chloride (cas: 61-73-4Computed Properties of C16H18ClN3S).
3,7-Bis(dimethylamino)phenothiazin-5-ium chloride (cas: 61-73-4) belongs to organic chlorides. Organic chlorides can cause corrosion in pipelines, valves and condensers, and cause catalyst poisoning. The hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) and others are affected by damage caused by these substances. Organochlorine compounds are lipophylic, meaning they are more soluble in fat than in water. This gives them a high tenancy to accumulate in the food chain (biomagnification).Computed Properties of C16H18ClN3S
