Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-dependent platelet aggregation (PA) can cause medical errors. Currently, there is no reliable method for completely solving this problem. This study aims to solve this problem that has plagued clinical practice for many years by using oscillation method. METHODS Sixty-one EDTA-PA samples were collected, divided, and disaggregated using the oscillation method at various times and speeds. The samples were analyzed using routine blood tests and blood smears. RESULTS Platelet counts (PLT) were increased significantly after oscillation. PLT in the 3000 rpm for 0.5 min group was significantly higher than that in the 500 rpm for 0.5 min group (p < 0. 01). After 3000 rpm oscillation, the PLT gradually increased with time, while compared with the 10-min group, the PLT in the 13-min group showed no significant differences. The effective disaggregation rates in the EDTA-PA samples using the oscillation method and sodium citrate anticoagulant were 96.72% and 65.57%, respectively. There were no significant changes in white blood cell (WBC) or red blood cell (RBC) counts or morphology after the use of the oscillation method. CONCLUSION The oscillation method effectively depolymerized EDTA-PA without adverse effects on WBC and RBC. The implementation of this technique promises to resolve the issue of EDTA-PA.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread and highly toxic environmental pollutant, seriously threatening animal and plant growth. Therefore, monitoring and employing robust tools to enrich and remove Cd from the environment is a major challenge. In this work, by conjugating a fluorescent indicator (CCP) with a functionalized glass slide, a special composite material (CCPB) was constructed to enrich, remove, and monitor Cd2+ in water rapidly. Then Cd2+ could be effectively eluted by immersing the Cd-enriched CCPB in an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) solution. With this, the CCPB was continuously reused. Its recovery of Cd2+was above and below 100 % after multiple uses by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), which was excellent for practical use in enriching and removing Cd2+ in real aqueous samples. Therefore, CCPB is an ideal material for monitoring, enriching, and removing Cd2+ in wastewater, providing a robust tool for future practical applications of Cd enrichment and removal in the environment.

Abstract
The aim was to investigate the influence of endodontic irrigation solutions and protocols on the micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) to dentin using an etch-and-rinse (ER) or self-etch (SE) adhesive approach. Eighty extracted human molars were ground to dentin. After pretreating for 27 min (21 min-3 min-3 min) with five different endodontic irrigation protocols (Group 1: NaOCl-EDTA-NaOCl; Group 2: NaOCl-NaOCl-EDTA; Group 3: NaOCl-NaCl-NaOCl; Group 4: Dual Rinse-Dual Rinse-Dual Rinse; Group 5: NaCl-NaCl-NaCl), an ER (Optibond FL, Kerr) or a SE (Clearfil SE Bond, Kuraray) adhesive system was applied. After light-curing, composite build-ups were made and cut into dentin-composite sticks. μTBS and failure modes were analyzed. Nonparametric statistical analyses (α = 0.05) were performed for comparison of the five groups within each type of adhesive as well as between the two adhesive systems used. The use of an ER instead of a SE adhesive system resulted in significantly higher μTBS for all irrigation protocols except for group 1 (NaOCl-EDTA-NaOCl) and 2 (NaOCl-NaOCl-EDTA). A statistical difference between the five different endodontic irrigation protocols was only found within the SE adhesive group, where group 1 (NaOCl-EDTA-NaOCl) achieved highest values. The use of an ER adhesive system cancels out the effect of the endodontic irrigation solution. The highest μTBS was achieved when using a NaOCl-EDTA-NaOCl-irrigation protocol in combination with Clearfil SE Bond, which shows that the selection of the endodontic irrigation should match the corresponding SE adhesive system.

Abstract
Undersized fraction from aged municipal solid waste (UFAMSW), as a kind of soil-like material, has been proved effective in providing a large amount of organic matter and nutrients for soil and plants. The characteristics and effectiveness of heavy metal pollution removal in UFAMSW attracted tremendous research interest from scientists recently. In this study, the heavy metal removal efficiencies and bioavailability of washing on contaminated UFAMSW were evaluated with three washing reagents including ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA), citric acid (CA), and humic acid (HA). The effects of chelating agent concentration, pH, and washing time on metal removal were investigated and response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the washing conditions. The results indicated that the removal efficiencies of Cu, Zn, and Mn could be 53.68%, 52.12%, and 30.63% by EDTA/HA washing and 42.36%, 39.67% and 28.49% by CA/HA washing, respectively. The European Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) sequential extraction was applied to analyze the fraction change of heavy metals in UFAMSW before and after washing, and it was found that chelating agent combined with HA could contribute to the removal of the exchangeable fraction. Physical and chemical properties of UFAMSW were improved to some extent after washing with mixed HA and chelating agent and could achieve the quality standard of landscape gardening soil. Accordingly, the mixture of HA and other chelating agents could be a promising washing process for preparation of landscape gardening soil using UFAMSW.Implications: Our manuscript studies the removal of heavy metals from the contaminated undersized fraction from aged municipal solid waste (UFAMSW). UFAMSW, as a kind of soil-like material, has been proved effective in providing a large amount of organic matter and nutrients for soil and plants however often limited by heavy metal pollution. The UFAMSW used in this experiment was collected after the excavation and screening-sorting of aged refuse from Changshankou Domestic Waste Sanitary Landfill in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, Southern China. This study investigated the effects of EDTA, CA, HA, mixed EDTA/HA, and mixed CA/HA washing on heavy metal removal (Cu, Zn, and Mn), bioavailability of residual heavy metal and properties. The effects of chelating agent concentration, pH, and washing time on metal removal were investigated and then response surface methodology was employed to optimize the washing conditions. The results showed that washing by CA/HA and EDTA/HA, had a higher removal efficiency of heavy metals (Cu, Zn, and Mn) in UFAMSW compared to single HA. Meanwhile, HA has a higher removal for exchangeable fraction of heavy metals, the exchangeable concentration of Cu, Zn, and Mn in CA/HA and EDTA/HA washed UFAMSW were lower compared with UFAMSW washed by single CA and EDTA. Thus, mixing HA with EDTA or CA makes a less risk to environmental and the removal efficiency is acceptable. Additionally, CA/HA and EDTA/HA washing tend to improve soil physicochemical properties and soil fertility. Thus, mixing HA with different washing agent are potential methods for preparation of landscape gardening soil using UFAMSW.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extrafibrillar demineralization is an etching technique that removes only minerals from around the collagen fibrils for resin infiltration. The intrafibrillar minerals are left intact to avoid their replacement by water that is hard for adhesive resin monomers to displace. The present work reported the synthesis of a water-soluble methacryloyloxy glycol chitosan-EDTA conjugate (GCE-MA) and evaluated its potential as an extrafibrillar demineralization agent for self-etch dentin bonding. METHODS Glycol chitosan-EDTA was functionalized with a methacryloyloxy functionality. Conjugation was confirmed using Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy. The GCE-MA was used to prepare experimental self-etch primers. Extrafibrillar demineralization of the primers was evaluated with scaning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The feasibility of this new self-etch bonding approach was evaluated using microtensile bond strength testing and inhibition of dentin gelatinolytic activity. The antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity of GCE-MA were also analyzed. RESULTS Conjugation of EDTA and the methacryloyloxy functionality to glycol chitosan was successful. The functionalized conjugate was capable of extrafibrillar demineralization of mineralized collagen fibrils. Tensile bond strength of the experimental self-etch primer to dentin was comparable to that of phosphoric acid-etched dentin and the commercial self-etch primer Clearfil SE Bond 2. The GCE-MA also inhibited soluble rhMMP-9. In-situ zymography detected minimal fluorescence in hybrid layers conditioned with the experimental primer. The GCE-MA was noncytotoxic and possessed antibacterial activities against planktonic bacteria. SIGNIFICANCE Synthesis of GCE-MA brought into fruition a self-etch conditioner that selectively demineralizes the extrafibrillar mineral component of dentin. A self-etch primer prepared with GCE-MA achieved bond strengths comparable to commercial reference adhesive systems.

Abstract
The Fenton system was a generation system of reactive oxygen species via the chain reactions, which employed H2O2 and O2 as radical precursors and Fe2+/Fe3+ as electron-donor/acceptor for triggering or terminating the generation of radicals. Recent work mainly emphasized the Fe2+- activated H2O2 and the application of in-situ generated •OH, while neglecting other side-reactions. In this work, EDTA (Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) was employed as a chelating agent of iron ions, which simultaneously changed the redox property of coordinated iron. The Fe2+-EDTA complexes in the presence of dissolved oxygen enabled the two-electron transfer from Fe2+ to O2 and the in-situ production of H2O2, which further activate H2O2 for yielding •OH. Meanwhile, coordinated Fe3+ exhibited non-negligible reactivity toward H2O2, which was higher than that of free Fe3+ in the traditional Fenton system. The complexation of EDTA with Fe3+ could enhance the Fe2+ generation reaction by the H2O2, accompanied by the O2•- formation. The enhancement of O2•- formation and Fe2+-EDTA regeneration induced the subsequent H2O2 activation by Fe2+-EDTA, thus accelerating the Fe3+-EDTA/Fe2+-EDTA cycle for simultaneously producing O2•- and •OH. To sum up, the EDTA-chelated Fenton system extended the applicable pH range to circumneutral/alkaline level and tuned the redox property of coordinated iron for diversifying the •OH production routes. The research reinterpreted the chain reactions in the Fenton system, revealing another way to enhance the radical production or other property of the Fenton/Fenton-like system.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) contamination of farmland soils is a growing concern because of its highly toxic impact on ecosystems and human health. Chelator-assisted washing and chemical immobilization are effective remediation strategies for Cd-contaminated soils. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) has traditionally been used for soil washing, but its persistence in the environment and subsequent toxicity have raised significant ecological concerns. Consequently, biodegradable chelators have gained increasing attention as eco-friendly alternatives to the persistent chelator, EDTA. Therefore, this study evaluated the performance and efficacy of three biodegradable chelators: L-glutamate-N,N'-diacetic acid (GLDA), methylglycine-diacetic acid (MGDA), and 3-hydroxy-2,2'-iminodisuccinic acid (HIDS) in comparison to EDTA for remediating a real Cd-contaminated agricultural soil. The influence of treatment parameters, including chelator variants, washing time, chelator concentration, solution pH, and liquid-to-soil ratio (L/S) on Cd extraction was studied and optimized to attain the maximum removal rate. Following chelator-assisted washing, the efficacy of a stabilization preference combining FeCl3 and CaO in reducing the leaching potential of residual Cd in chelator-washed soil residues was also investigated. GLDA demonstrated comparable Cd extraction efficiency to EDTA, and the Cd extraction efficiency was found to be positively correlated with the soil washing parameters. However, under the optimized conditions (chelator concentration: 10 mmol L-1; washing time: 3 h; solution pH: 3; L/S ratio: 10:1), GLDA exhibited a higher Cd extraction rate than EDTA or the other chelators. Furthermore, a post-treatment process incorporating FeCl3 and CaO substantially diminished the water-leachable Cd content in the resultant soil residues. The proposed remediation strategy, which combines chemically assisted washing and stabilization, could be a practical option for extracting bulk Cd from soil and reducing the leaching potential of residual Cd.

Abstract
Correlating the structure and dynamics of proteins with biological function is critical to understanding normal and dysfunctional cellular mechanisms. We describe a quantitative method of hydroxyl radical generation via Fe(II)-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-catalyzed Fenton chemistry that provides ready access to protein oxidative footprinting using equipment commonly found in research and process control laboratories. Robust and reproducible dose-dependent oxidation of protein samples is observed and quantitated by mass spectrometry with as fine a single residue resolution. An oxidation analysis of lysozyme provides a readily accessible benchmark for our method. The efficacy of our oxidation method is demonstrated by mapping the interface of a RAS-monobody complex, the surface of the NIST mAb, and the interface between PRC2 complex components. These studies are executed using standard laboratory tools and a few pennies of reagents; the mass spectrometry analysis can be streamlined to map the protein structure with single amino acid residue resolution.

A novel MnO2@EDTA-Ag nanocoral reef was constructed via a simplified redox reaction followed by EDTA and Ag nanoparticles impregnation to capture hazardous copper (II) from wastewater. A comprehensive characterization of the synthesized materials was conducted. The morphology of MnO2@EDTA-Ag in the form of a nanocoral reef was constructed of two-dimensional nanoplatelets and nanorod-like nanostructures. The optimal adsorption conditions proposed by the Plackett-Burman design (PBD) that would provide a removal % of 99.95 were pH 5.5, a contact time of 32.0 min, a Cu(II) concentration of 11.2 mg L-1, an adsorbent dose of 0.05 g, and a temperature of 40.3 °C. The loading of Ag nanoparticles onto MnO2@EDTA improved the adsorption capability of MnO2@EDTA-Ag. Additionally, the recyclability of MnO2@EDTA-Ag nanocoral reef was maintained at 80% after three adsorption-desorption cycles, and there was no significant change in the XRD analysis before and after the recycling process, implying its stability. It was found that nanocoral reef-assisted EDTA formed a chelation/complexation reaction between COO- groups and C-N bonds of EDTA with Cu(II) ions. In addition, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis proved the synergistic effect of the electrostatic interaction and chelation/complexation was responsible for the removal mechanism of Cu(II). Also, the results demonstrated no significant variation in MnO2@EDTA-Ag removal efficiency for all the tested real water samples, revealing its efficacy in wastewater treatment. Therefore, the current study suggests that MnO2@EDTA-Ag has substantial potential to be used as a feasible adsorbent for probable hazardous metals remediation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To comparatively evaluate the nisin-incorporated ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (N-EDTA) and MTAD on cytotoxicity, endodontic biofilm eradication potential, smear layer removal ability, and sealer penetration depth. MATERIALS AND METHODS N-EDTA was prepared and characterized using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Minimum inhibitory, minimum bactericidal, and minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBC, MIC, and MBIC) were determined on Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) strain. The cytocompatibility of N-EDTA and MTAD was evaluated using 3,(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT)-based colorimetric assay. Dentin specimens (n = 88 for antibacterial analysis, n = 170 for sealer penetration depth) were prepared and subjected to the classical irrigating strategy and obturation, respectively. The scanning electron microscopic evaluation (SEM) was done for the evaluation of biofilm disruption and smear layer removal. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) evaluation was done for determining percentage of bacterial viability and sealer penetration depth. Statistical analysis of one-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD post hoc tests for bacterial viability and Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney test for smear layer removal and depth of penetration were done with the significance level set at p < 0.05. RESULTS MTAD and N-EDTA showed cytocompatibility without any statistical differences from each other. For N-EDTA, the MIC and MBC values were 12.5 μg/ml (1:8), and MBIC values were 36 μg/ml. Biofilm disruption and killed bacterial percentage of N-EDTA was statistically higher than MTAD, whereas both the materials showed similar efficacy in the removal of the smear layer and sealer penetration depth. CONCLUSION N-EDTA had negligible cytotoxicity with similar smear layer removal ability, sealer penetration, and better antibiofilm potential than MTAD. CLINICAL RELEVANCE N-EDTA can serve as a viable alternative endodontic irrigant.

Abstract
Streck tubes are commonly used to collect blood samples to preserve cell-free circulating DNA. They contain imidazolidinyl urea as a formaldehyde-releasing agent to stabilize cells. We investigated whether the released formaldehyde leads to crosslinking of intracellular proteins. Therefore, we employed a shotgun proteomics experiment on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) that were isolated from blood collected in Streck tubes, EDTA tubes, EDTA tubes containing formaldehyde, or EDTA tubes containing allantoin. The identified crosslinks were validated in parallel reaction monitoring LC/MS experiments. In total, we identified and validated 45 formaldehyde crosslinks in PBMCs from Streck tubes, which were also found in PBMCs from formaldehyde-treated blood, but not in EDTA- or allantoin-treated samples. Most were derived from cytoskeletal proteins and histones, indicating the ability of Streck tubes to fix cells. In addition, we confirm a previous observation that formaldehyde crosslinking of proteins induces a +24 Da mass shift more frequently than a +12 Da shift. The crosslinking capacity of Streck tubes needs to be considered when selecting blood-collection tubes for mass-spectrometry-based proteomics or metabolomic experiments.

Abstract
Excavated debris (soil and rock) contaminated with geogenic arsenic (As) is an increasing concern for regulatory organizations and construction stakeholders. Chelator-assisted soil flushing is a promising method for practical on-site remediation of As-contaminated soil, offering technical, economic, and environmental benefits. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is the most prevalent chelator used for remediating As-contaminated soil. However, the extensive environmental persistence and potential toxicity of EDTA necessitate the exploration of eco-compliant alternatives. In this study, the feasibility of the conventional flushing method pump-and-treat and two newly designed immersion and sprinkling techniques were evaluated at the laboratory scale (small-scale laboratory experiments) for the on-site treatment of As-contaminated excavated debris. Two biodegradable chelators, L-glutamic acid-N,N'-diacetic acid (GLDA) and 3-hydroxy-2,2'-iminodisuccinic acid (HIDS), were examined as eco-friendly substitutes for EDTA. Additionally, this study highlights a useful post-treatment measure to ensure minimal mobility of residual As in the chelator-treated debris residues. The pump-and-treat method displayed rapid As-remediation (t, 3 h), but it required a substantial volume of washing solution (100 mL g-1). Conversely, the immersion technique demonstrated an excellent As-extraction rate using a relatively smaller washing solution (0.33 mL g-1) and shorter immersion time (t, 3 h). In contrast, the sprinkling technique showed an increased As-extraction rate over an extended period (t, 48 h). Among the chelators employed, the biodegradable chelator HIDS (10 mmol L-1; pH, 3) exhibited the highest As-extraction efficiency. Furthermore, the post-treatment of chelator-treated debris with FeCl3 and CaO successfully reduced the leachable As content below the permissible limit.

Abstract
This study describes the development of two highly sensitive immunosensor platforms for the trace determination of copper ions, Cu(II), in drinking water. These platforms were a microwell-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a kinetic exclusion assay (KinExA) with a KinExATM 3200 immunosensor. Both ELISA and KinExA were developed utilizing the same antibody and coating reagent. The antibody was a mouse monoclonal antibody, designated as 8D66, that specifically recognized Cu(II)-ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid complex (Cu(II)-EDTA) but did not recognize Cu(II)-free EDTA. The 8D66 monoclonal antibody was generated by the fusion of spleen cells of an immunized BALB/c mouse with SP2/0-Ag14 myeloma cells. The immunogen was a protein conjugate of Cu(II)-EDTA with keyhole limpet hemocyanin protein. The coating reagent was Cu(II)-EDTA covalently linked to bovine serum albumin protein (Cu(II)-EDTA-BSA). Both assays involved the competitive binding reaction between Cu(II)-EDTA complexes, formed in the sample solution, and Cu(II)-EDTA-BSA conjugate which has been immobilized onto ELISA plates (in ELISA) or polymethylmethacrylate beads (in KinExA) for a limited quantity of binding sites of the 8D66 antibody. In ELISA, color signals were generated by a peroxidase-labeled secondary antibody and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine substrate. In KinExA, a fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled secondary antibody was used to generate KinExAgram (trend-line fluorescence responses vs. time). The conditions of both ELISA and KinExA were investigated, and the optimum procedures were established. Both ELISA and KinExA were validated, and all validation parameters were acceptable. Many different metal ions that are commonly encountered in drinking water did not interfere with the Cu(II) analysis by both ELISA and KinExA. Both assays were applied to the determination of Cu(II) in drinking water with satisfactory accuracy and precision. Both assays were compared favorably with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy in terms of their abilities to accurately and precisely determine Cu(II) in drinking water samples. A comparative evaluation of ELISA and KinExA revealed that KinExA had a higher sensitivity and better precision than ELISA, whereas both assays had comparable accuracy. Both ELISA and KinExA were superior to the existing atomic spectrometric methods for Cu(II) in terms of sensitivity, convenience, and analysis throughputs. The proposed ELISA and KinExA are anticipated to effectively contribute to assessing Cu(II) concentrations and control the exposure of humans to its potential toxicities.

Abstract
Electro-enhanced metal-free boron/peroxymonosulfate (B/PMS) system has demonstrated potential for efficient metal-organic complexes degradation in an eco-friendly way. However, the efficiency and durability of the boron activator are limited by associated passivation effect. Additionally, the lack of suitable methods utilizing in-situ recovery of metal ions liberated from decomplexation causes huge resource waste. In this study, B/PMS coupled with a customized flow electrolysis membrane (FEM) system is proposed to address above challenges with Ni-EDTA used as the model contaminant. Electrolysis is confirmed to remarkably promote the activation performance of boron towards PMS to efficiently generate •OH which dominated Ni-EDTA decomplexation in the anode chamber. It is revealed that the acidification near the anode electrode improves the stability of boron by inhibiting passivation layer growth. Under optimal parameters (10 mM PMS, 0.5 g/L boron, initial pH = 2.3, current density = 68.87 A/m2), 91.8% of Ni-EDTA could be degraded in 40 min, with a kobs of 6.25 × 10-2 min-1. As the decomplexation proceeds, nickel ions are recovered in the cathode chamber with little interference from the concentration of co-existing cations. These findings provide a promising and sustainable strategy for simultaneous metal-organic complexes removal and metal resources recovery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Retinol (Vitamin A) is one of the most effective molecules for the treatment of skin aging. However, it degrades rapidly under the influence of light, oxygen, metal ions, and oxidizing agents. To prevent this, stabilizing systems are used commonly. Notably, butylated hydroxytoluene (2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol) (BHT) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) salts exhibit excellent antioxidant and metal-chelating properties but are not eco-friendly. In this study, our goal was to develop a new eco-friendly stabilization system for retinol-based formulations such that the system does not interfere with retinol skin absorption, nor its clinical efficacy. METHODS An evaluation tool called the Sustainable Product Optimization Tool (SPOT) was used to assess the environmental performance of formulations containing retinol and the various stabilizers investigated. Accelerated stability tests were performed on formulations stored for 2 months at 4 and 45°C (ISO/TR Standard 18811 2018 directives). Long-term stability evaluation was done on formulations stored for 24-months at room temperature. Retinol skin absorption was assessed by the Franz cell method using human skin explants (OECD guideline 428). Finally, a clinical study was performed to evaluate the cosmetic performance of a 0.3% stabilized retinol formulation. RESULTS N,N'-ethylenediamine disuccinic acid ([S,S]-EDDS isomer) and pentaerythritol tetrakis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate) (PBHC) showed higher biodegradability and a reduced water footprint compared with those of BHT and EDTA. The SPOT simulation gave [S,S]-EDDS + PBHC a score of 10 versus 8.84 for EDTA + BHT. Moreover, [S,S]-EDDS + PBHC better controlled the chemical degradation of retinol compared with EDTA + BHT. Retinol skin absorption was also achieved in the case of a formulation containing [S,S]-EDDS + PBHC, and several skin attributes improved significantly after 12 weeks of product use, with over 75% of the panel perceiving benefits. CONCLUSION Regarding retinol stabilization, the PBHC + [S,S]-EDDS combination is an eco-friendlier and more effective alternative to BHT + EDTA.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of ultrasound-assisted ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and citric acid (CA) washing on heavy metal (HM) removal, residual HM mobility, and sewage sludge quality. EDTA and CA washing of sewage sludge successfully reduced the total concentration of HMs after one round of washing, but the mobility of residual HMs increased significantly. The eluate had a high concentration of HMs and nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and total organic carbon), although the nutritional content of the sludge remained high. The three-phase ratio of the sludge after six rounds of washing by CA was closest to the ideal three-phase ratio, and the degree of influence on the physical structure of the soil after a land application was reduced, according to the fluctuation of generalized soil structure index (GSSI) and soil three-phase structure distance (STPSD) values. The results indicate that CA as an environmental-friendly washing agent can be the superior choice for sludge HM washing; single washing of sewage sludge may increase the mobility of residual HMs, so multiple washings should be considered for land application of sludge.

Abstract
Cu and Ni complexes with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Cu/Ni-EDTA), which are commonly present in metal plating industry wastewaters, pose a serious threat to both the environment and human health due to their high toxicity and low biodegradability. In this study, the treatment of solutions containing either or both Cu-EDTA and Ni-EDTA using an electrochemical process is investigated under both oxidizing and reducing electrolysis conditions. Our results indicate that Cu-EDTA is decomplexed as a result of the cathodic reduction of Cu(II) with subsequent electrodeposition of Cu(0) at the cathode when the cathode potential is more negative than the reduction potential of Cu-EDTA to Cu(0). In contrast, the very negative reduction potential of Ni-EDTA to Ni(0) renders the direct reduction of EDTA-complexed Ni(II) at the cathode unimportant. The removal of Ni during the electrolysis process mainly occurs via anodic oxidation of EDTA in Ni-EDTA, with the resulting formation of low-molecular-weight organic acids and the release of Ni2+, which is subsequently deposited as Ni0 on the cathode. A kinetic model incorporating the key reactions occurring in the electrolysis process has been developed, which satisfactorily describes EDTA, Cu, Ni, and TOC removal. Overall, this study improves our understanding of the mechanism of removal of heavy metals from solution during the electrochemical advanced oxidation of metal plating wastewaters.

Abstract
Traditional methods cannot efficiently recover Cu from Cu(II)-EDTA wastewater and encounter the formation of secondary contaminants. In this study, an ozone/percarbonate (O3/SPC) process was proposed to efficiently decomplex Cu(II)-EDTA and simultaneously recover Cu. The results demonstrate that the O3/SPC process achieves 100% recovery of Cu with the corresponding kobs value of 0.103 min-1 compared with the typical •OH-based O3/H2O2 process (81.2%, 0.042 min-1). The carbonate radical anion (CO3•-) is generated from the O3/SPC process and carries out the targeted attack of amino groups of Cu(II)-EDTA for decarboxylation and deamination processes, resulting in successive cleavage of Cu-O and Cu-N bonds. In comparison, the •OH-based O3/H2O2 process is predominantly responsible for the breakage of Cu-O bonds via decarboxylation and formic acid removal. Moreover, the released Cu(II) can be transformed into stable copper precipitates by employing an endogenous precipitant (CO32-), accompanied by toxic-free byproducts in the O3/SPC process. More importantly, the O3/SPC process exhibits excellent metal recovery in the treatment of real copper electroplating wastewater and other metal-EDTA complexes. This study provides a promising technology and opens a new avenue for the efficient decomplexation of metal-organic complexes with simultaneous recovery of valuable metal resources.

Abstract
The chemistry of technetium (t1/2(99Tc) = 2.11 × 105 years) is of particular importance in the context of nuclear waste disposal and historic contaminated sites. Polycarboxylate ligands may be present in some sites and are potentially capable of strong complexing interactions, thus increasing the solubility and mobility of 99Tc under environmentally relevant conditions. This work aimed to determine the impact of five organic complexing ligands [L = oxalate, phthalate, citrate, nitrilotriacetate (NTA), and ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA)] under anoxic, alkaline conditions (pH ≈ 9-13) on the solubility of technetium. X-ray absorption spectroscopy confirmed that TcO2(am,hyd) remained the solubility-controlling solid phase in undersaturation solubility experiments. Ligands with maximum coordination numbers (CN) ≥ 3 (EDTA, NTA, and citrate) exhibited an increase in solubility from pH 9 to 11, while ligands with CN ≤ 2 (oxalate and phthalate) at all investigated pH and CN ≥ 3 at pH ≈ 13 were outcompeted by hydrolysis reactions. Though most available thermodynamic values were determined under acidic conditions, these models satisfactorily explained high-pH undersaturation solubility of technetium for citrate and NTA, whereas experimental data for Tc(IV)-EDTA were highly overestimated. This work illustrates the predominance of hydrolysis under hyperalkaline conditions and provides experimental support for existing thermodynamic models of Tc-L except Tc-EDTA, which requires further research regarding aqueous speciation and solubility.

Abstract
Ni-EDTA is widely present in electroplating effluents. It cannot be effectively removed by traditional wastewater treatment methods due to its chemical stability. In this study, copper sulphide/cuprous sulphide doped zero-valent iron@carbon (ZVI@C/CuS/Cu2S) was prepared to active peroxymonsulphate (PMS) to decomposition Ni-EDTA. The ZVI@C/CuS/Cu2S + PMS process shows excellent performance under neutral or even alkaline conditions. This is due to the acceleration of ZVI electron transport by CuS/Cu2S, the autocatalysis of CuS/Cu2S itself, and the synergistic effect of CuS/Cu2S and Ni-EDTA. The removal efficiency of 50 ppm Ni-EDTA electroplating effluents reached 99.53% at 10 min, and the discharge water can meet the Chinese emission standard. The influences of the main parameters such as initial pH value, catalyst, PMS and initial Ni-EDTA concentration on removal efficiency was systematically investigated.

Abstract
The 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane-modified magnetic mesoporous adsorbent (FNMs/APTES) was synthesized and applied to remove Cr(III)-EDTA chelates from water. The characterization of FNMs/APTES showed that the prepared adsorbent with a magnetic mesoporous structure was successfully grafted by APTES, which has good stability under acid conditions. The maximum capacities of FNMs/APTES for Cr(III)-EDTA adsorption at 15, 25 and 35 °C and pH 4.0 were 12.58, 13.13 and 14.00 mg·g-1, respectively. The adsorption isotherm of FNMs/APTES for Cr(III)-EDTA conforms to the Freundlich model, and the adsorption kinetic model accords with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Adsorption of Cr(III)-EDTA on the adsorbent was not affected in the presence of Na+, K+ and Ca2+ even at 100 mmol·L-1. Cr(III)-EDTA was anchored on FNMs/APTES through electrostatic interaction between protonated amino groups of adsorbents and Cr(III)-EDTA anions, and Cr(III)-EDTA chelates were adsorbed as a whole on the adsorbent. The Cr(III)-EDTA-saturated adsorbent can be readily regenerated in HCl solution and 83.03% of the initial Cr(III)-EDTA adsorption capacity remains after four adsorption-regeneration experiment cycles. The results highlighted that the FNMs/APTES as a potential adsorbent can be applied for the minimization of Cr(III)-EDTA chelates from water.

Abstract
Widely existing heavy metal complexes with high stability and poor biodegradability are intractable to be eliminated by conventional methods. In this study, electron beam (EB) irradiation characterized by rapidly producing strong oxidizing radicals was employed to effectively decompose Cu-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Cu-EDTA) with almost complete elimination at 5 kGy. In terms of heavy metal removal, EB irradiation at relatively low doses was insufficient to remove copper ions, which was only 17.2% under 15 kGy. However, with the extra addition of 8 mM H2O2, such an irradiation dose could result in 99.0% copper ions removal. Mechanism analysis indicated that EB irradiation combined with spontaneously induced Fenton-like reactions were responsible for its excellent performance. The prime function of EB irradiation was to destroy the structure of Cu-EDTA with in-situ produced ·OH, and the subsequent released Cu-based intermediates could activate H2O2 to initiate autocatalytic chain reactions, correspondingly accelerating the degradation of complexes and the liberation of metal ions. Highly oxidative ·OH and O2·- were demonstrated as main active species acted on different positions of Cu-EDTA to realize gradual decarboxylation, synchronously generating low molecular weight compounds. XRD and XPS analysis showed that the released copper ions were mainly precipitated in the form of CuO, Cu(OH)2 and Cu2(OH)2CO3. In general, EB/H2O2 was an adoptable strategy for the disposal of such refractory heavy metal complexes.

Abstract
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a divalent cation chelator and chemical preservative that has been shown to be the active ingredient of the popular DNA preservative DESS. EDTA may act to reduce DNA degradation during tissue storage by sequestering divalent cations that are required by nucleases naturally occurring in animal tissues. Although EDTA is typically used between pH 7.5 and 8 in preservative preparations, the capacity of EDTA to chelate divalent cations is known to increase with increasing pH. Therefore, increasing the pH of EDTA-containing preservative solutions may improve their effectiveness as DNA preservatives. To test this hypothesis, we stored tissues from five aquatic species in 0.25 M EDTA adjusted to pH 8, 9, and 10 for 12 months at room temperature before DNA isolation. For comparison, tissues from the same specimens were also stored in 95% ethanol. DNA extractions performed on tissues preserved in EDTA pH 9 or 10 resulted in as great or greater percent recovery of high molecular weight DNA than did extractions from tissues stored at pH 8. In all cases examined, percent recovery of high molecular weight DNA from tissues preserved in EDTA pH 10 was significantly better than that observed from tissues preserved in 95% ethanol. Our results support the conclusion that EDTA contributes to DNA preservation in tissues by chelating divalent cations and suggest that preservative performance can be improved by increasing the pH of EDTA-containing DNA preservative solutions.

Abstract
A new concept of removal and recovery of heavy metals and simultaneous regeneration and reuse of ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA) in soil washing effluent containing metal-EDTA complexes is proposed, which is used to remediate heavy metal contaminated soil. To achieve this goal, soil washing approach coupled with rectangular wave asymmetrical alternative current electrochemistry (RW-ACE) equipped with amidoxime-functionalized electrodes (Ami-CF) is employed. With high hydrophilicity and strong binding affinity, Ami-CF could specifically compete for heavy metals over EDTA under electric field. RW-ACE system is found successfully to achieve the non-destructive decomplexation of heavy metal-EDTA, and then regenerate EDTA for highly recycling, which saves as high as 98.9 % EDTA consumption compared with conventional washing method. Moreover, more than 90% of heavy metals are recovered and deposited on the electrode with a majority of them existed as zero-valence state as evidenced by XPS. The RW-ACE method is universal for various heavy metals such as Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+ in an authentic contaminated soil, and the loss of soil nutrient is very limited. Along with long-term assessment and operation cost estimation, the RW-ACE method is a sustainable remediation approach for the heavy metal polluted wastewater and soils, and easily scaled up for field practice.

Abstract
Chromium (Cr) is a toxic environmental pollutant that majorly exists in trivalent and hexavalent forms. Though Cr(VI) is more dangerous than Cr(III), the trivalent Cr forms complexes with environmentally-available organic molecules. This makes them potentially harmful and difficult to detect. In this study, we have designed an ultrasensitive plasmonic nanosensor using citrate and PVP functionalized Ag nanoparticles (Ag-citrate-PVPNPs) for the detection of trivalent chromium organic complexes such as Cr(III)-EDTA (Cr-E), Cr(III)-acetate (Cr-A), Cr(III)-citrate (Cr-C) and Cr(III)-tartrate (Cr-T). The nanoparticles (NPs) were structurally characterized by XRD, SEM, HRTEM, SAED, EDX and elemental mapping. The citrate and PVP molecules played a vital role in the detection mechanism and stability of the sensor. Upon detection, the yellow-colored Ag-citrate-PVP NPs turned into different shades of brown depending on the type of the Cr complex and concentration. It was accompanied by diminishing and/or shifting UV-Visible absorbance peaks due to the aggregation of Ag-citrate-PVP NPs. Further, a linear relationship was observed between absorbance reduction and analyte concentration. The selectivity tests showed that the sensor was non-functional to other metal ions and inorganic anions. The sensor was optimized using pH and temperature studies. The mechanism of detection was elucidated with the help of characterization techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, FTIR, XPS and UV-visible spectrophotometer. The limit of detection (LOD) was found to be 3.29, 4.87, 1.76 and 1.79 nM for Cr-E, Cr-A, Cr-C and Cr-T complexes respectively. This study provides a rapid and sensitive approach for the detection of multiple Cr(III)-organic complexes present in an aqueous solution.

Abstract
In this work, the removal performance of three environmentally friendly reagents, oxalic acid (OA), citric acid (CA), and a copolymer of maleic and acrylic acid (PMAA), on heavy metals in polluted soil was studied at the optimum conditions and compared their sequenced performance. The results showed that the consecutive washing with the individual acids significantly improved the removal percentage of heavy metals in the soil compared to that of EDTA (10.2%, 71.3%, 29.8%, 61.6%, and 52.4% removal for As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn, respectively). The removal of As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn in the sequence of CA-OA was 65.6%, 79%, 59.1%, 64.6%, and 63.5%, respectively. In addition, the organic acids had little influence on the soil physicochemical properties after washing with slight reductions of acidity (pH) and soil organic matter (SOM), which are the major determinants of the usability of washed soils for plant growth. The germination rate of Sorghum bicolor in CA-OA-washed soils reached over 70% on the 7th day. CA-OA-washed soils collectively stand out in using washed soils for plant growth with the following advantages: simultaneous removal of cationic and anionic metals, less harmful impact on soil properties, and successful support for the germination of crops. Based on the findings, we recommend the CA-OA sequence as the best alternative to EDTA with higher metal removal efficiency and germination success.

Abstract
Ni is often present in plating wastewater as a complexing state. It is difficult to remove this Ni using traditional chemical precipitation technology. In this study, a bipolar membrane electrodialysis system was used to recover Ni in the form of Ni(OH)2 from plating wastewater containing Ni-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Ni-EDTA) without adding chemical reagents. The stable structure of Ni-EDTA can be destroyed by H+ produced by the bipolar membrane to obtain free Ni2+, which can combine with OH- produced by the bipolar membrane to form Ni(OH)2. When the electrolyte Na2SO4 concentration, current density and initial Ni-EDTA concentration were 0.2 mol/L, 16 mA/cm2 and 1000 mg/L, respectively, 99.0% of Ni-EDTA was removed after 32 h. When the system was used to treat actual plating wastewater, 92.1% of Ni-EDTA was removed and 88.7% was recovered. When the number of wastewater compartments in the system was increased from one to three, the current efficiency increased from 1.7% to 5.8%, and the specific energy consumption decreased from 0.39 to 0.19 kW h/g. The results of an X-ray diffraction study indicate that the Ni(OH)2 obtained in this study is similar to commercial Ni(OH)2. Moreover, the recovery mechanism of Ni-EDTA was analysed. Thus, bipolar membrane electrodialysis can be regarded as an effective method to recover Ni from wastewater containing Ni-EDTA.

Potential mechanisms contributing to the high cadmium removal efficiency from contaminated soil by using effective microorganisms as novel electrolyte in electrokinetic remediation applications.

Abstract
In this study, we tested the ability of a solution of effective microorganisms (EM) to remove cadmium from soil. Experimental results revealed that EM had an overall cadmium removal efficiency of 90.5% after 7 days of electrokinetic (EK) treatment. During EK treatment, EM exhibited a low initial pH of 3.6 and a high conductivity of 7.0 mS/m; therefore, they reduced the pH of the anode after an electric field was applied. EM had a surface tension of 50.3 dyne/cm and exhibited biosurfactant property in the EK experiments. The cadmium removal efficiency of EM in soil was compared with that of tap water, citric acid, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The results revealed that after 7 days of EK treatment, EM had a higher cadmium removal efficiency than did citric acid (72.3%), EDTA (75.4%), and tap water (21.7%). This result can be partly attributed to the biosurfactant property of EM, which enables them to penetrate deeply into the soil matrix and thus dissolve a high quantity of pollutants. Overall, the results of this study indicate that EM can serve as an economic and efficient biosurfactant for removing cadmium from soil in EK applications.

Abstract
Sewage sludge (SS) is a potential resource for P and other nutrients, but often contaminated with metals. SS containing Pb-102, Zn-968, Cu-267, Cr-101, Mn-222, and Fe-8374 mg kg-1 was washed in a batch process for 1 h with a recycled washing solution containing 50 mmol L-1 of recycled EDTA and 50 mmol L-1 H2SO4, solid/liquid ratio 1/7 (w/V). After solid/liquid separation, the washed SS was further rinsed 3-times with cleansed recycled solutions. EDTA and process solutions were recycled/cleansed in a pH gradient of 12.5-2.0 imposed by addition of CaO and H2SO4 (the ReSoil® method). EDTA, recycled as ineffective Ca-EDTA, was activated by capturing Ca with H2SO4. The process was closed-looped, no wastewater was generated, solid waste was centrifuged away. 10 consecutive SS washing batches preserved the quality of the process solutions. Metals were mainly removed from the SS organic fraction, the average removal was Pb-35, Zn-59, Cu-60, Cr-19, Mn-25, and Fe-1%. Washing reduced the leachability of Cu and Cr from SS by 13.4 and 3.5 times, but increased the leachability of Pb, Zn, Mn, and Fe by 2.5, 3.8, 1.9, and 1.6 times, respectively. Metal concentrations in the leachates were below the limits stipulated as hazardous. The content of accessible P and K in washed SS decreased by 24 and 45%, and the total N decreased by 10%. Overall, the results prove the feasibility of the novel SS washing process.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effects of dentin decontamination procedures with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) after contamination with two hemostatic agents, ViscoStat (VS) and ViscoStat Clear (VSC), on the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of two different universal adhesives, before and after thermocycling (TC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Dentin surfaces of 100 human caries-free molars were either contaminated with one of the hemostatic agents or contaminated and then decontaminated with EDTA before the universal adhesives Scotchbond Universal Adhesive (SBU) or Prime & Bond Active (PBA) were applied in self-etch mode. Composite buildups were made and the teeth were sectioned into sticks (n = 90). Half of them immediately underwent the μTBS test, the other half after aging via TC. The data were statistically analyzed using Welch's ANOVA and the Games-Howell post-hoc test (p < 0.05). RESULTS Significant differences were observed between the groups (p < 0.001). When the dentin surface was contaminated with VSC, TC significantly reduced the mean bond strength, regardless of the universal adhesive. Decontamination with EDTA showed a significant decrease in bond strength after VS contamination and SBU application. The fracture analysis showed mainly adhesive fractures (78.8%) in all test groups. CONCLUSION As EDTA application did not significantly increase the μTBS of either universal adhesive in self-etch mode in-vitro, it cannot be recommended as a decontaminant.

Abstract
The nitrogen and sulphur oxide (NOx and SO2) emissions are causing a serious threat to the existence of life on earth, requiring their effective removal for a sustainable future. Among various approaches, catalytic or electrochemical reduction of air pollutants (NOx) has gained much attention due to its high efficiency and the possibility of converting these gases into valuable products. However, the required catalysts are generally synthesized from lab-grade chemicals, which may not be a sustainable approach. Herein, a sustainable approach is presented to synthesize an efficient iron-based catalyst directly from industrial/lake wastewater (WW) for NOx-reduction. According to the theoretical calculations and experimental results, Fe-ions could be readily recovered from wastewater because it has the best adsorption efficiency among all other co-existing metals (Ni2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cu2+, and Cr6+). The subsequent experimental investigations confirmed the preferential Fe adsorption from different WW streams to develop Fe3O4@EDTA-Fe composite, whereby Fe3O4 could be used due to its high recycling ability, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) acted as a chelating agent to adsorb Fe-metal from effluents. The Fe3O4@EDTA-Fe exhibited high efficiency (≥87%) for NOx reduction even in the presence of high-degree oxygen contents (10-12%). Moreover, Fe3O4-EDTA-Fe showed excellent long-term stability for 24 h and maintained more than 80% NOx reduction. The fabricated catalyst has a great potential for executing a dual role simultaneously for Fe-recovery and NOx removal, promoting the circular economy concept and providing a potentially sustainable remediation approach for large-scale applications.

Abstract
Toxic metal contamination causes a great threat to soil ecosystem and human health. Soil washing is a fast practice for removing metals, but its influences on microbial diversity and the stability of soil ecosystem remain unknown. In this study, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), citric acid (CA), and fermented pineapple peel residue (FPP) were used as representatives of chelates, low molecular organic acids and biological materials to wash Pb-polluted soils, and their impacts on microbial community were investigated. Washing with these agents effectively removed Pb, but altered microbial community structure. After washing with EDTA, CA, and FPP, 3-8 bacterial phyla and 1 fungal phylum greatly increased, while 7-20 bacterial and 0-6 fungal phyla severely decreased or even disappeared. The alterations of different microbiomes were closely related to soil metal fractions. The labile metal fraction had negative effects on most bacteria and fungi, but also showed positive influences on Actinobacteria, Patescibacteria, and Fusobacteria. The moderately stable and stable fractions were nontoxic to the most microbes, but still harmful to Patescibacteria and Deinococcus-Thermus. These findings provide new insights for the effects of soil washing remediation and toxicity of metal fractions on the microbiomes with different abundance.

Abstract
Cu(II)-EDTA is a highly stable typical metal-organic complex in a wide pH range (3.0-12.0) and it is difficult to deeply purify Cu(II) by conventional precipitation methods. In this study, Fe(III) replacement/diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) precipitation combined process is proposed as a promising strategy to achieve the deep purification of Cu(II) from Cu(II)-EDTA acidic wastewater. The underlying mechanism has also been systematically elucidated by chemical equilibriums, experiments, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, laying a foundation for the development and application. Chemical equilibriums show that Fe(III) replacement favors the stoichiometric release of Cu(II) from Cu(II)-EDTA and the formation of Fe(III)-EDTA complex under acidic conditions. Experimentally, Cu(II) is removed (over 99.99%) and deeply purified (under 0.008 mg/L) under the optimal conditions, which is lower than the most stringent discharge standards of copper ions in electroplating effluent (<0.5 mg/L, China). DFT calculations reveal that DDTC could further precipitate the released free copper ions via the carbon disulfide (-C(=S)-S) chelating group while exhibiting a slight effect on the Fe(III) in Fe(III)-EDTA. Considering these results, the electronic structures of Cu(II) and Fe(III), as well as their interaction with EDTA and DDTC ligands, are discussed to understand the mechanism of Fe(III)/DDTC process. By introducing a low dosage of Fe(III), the DDTC could efficiently purify Cu(II) from the Cu(II)-EDTA acid wastewater and realize the near-zero discharge of metal pollutants in metal-organic complex wastewater. It is believed that the main findings may benefit the water pollution reduction and comprehensive recycling of metal resources.

Abstract
In nuclear industry, Co-EDTA complex is generated due to the decontamination activities of nuclear power plants (NPPs). This complex is extremely refractory to the convention methods and can escalate the mobility of Co radionuclide in the environment. Due to its hazardous impact on human and environment, the effective treatments of Co-EDTA complexes are highly recommended. In this study, for the first time, we applied both hydroxyl (OH) and sulfate radical (SO4-) based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) namely Fenton and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) reactions for the Co-EDTA decomplexation. Both reactions exhibited higher Co-EDTA decomplexation at pH = 3, however, the PMS based reaction was found to be superior, which showed highest decomplexation efficiency (without pH adjustment) over Fenton reaction (pH = 1-13). Moreover, PMS based system was found to be more suitable than Fenton reaction, because PMS showed best Co-EDTA decomplexation efficiency without any additional catalyst dosages at the shorter reaction time. XRD data confirmed the presence of both CoO and Co(OH)2 in the precipitates after treatment. The electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) analysis identified OH and SO4- in Fenton and PMS system, respectively. From this study, we believe that PMS based reaction is a superior alternative of Fenton reaction for the Co-EDTA decomplexation.

Abstract
Soil enzyme activities and microbial communities have a good response to the remediation effect of heavy metal-contaminated soils. To evaluate the effect of three commonly used washing agents, ferric chloride (FC), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and ethylenediamine-tetra-methylenephosphonic acid (EDTMP) on soil enzyme activities and microbial community in cadmium (Cd)-contaminated agricultural soil were collected from farmland near a non-ferrous metal smelter. The soil enzyme activities, microbial community, chemical forms of Cd and some physicochemical properties of the soil washed with different washing solutions were determined. The results showed that the three washing solutions had moderate removal efficiencies for Cd in the tested soil and the breakdown product of EDTMP has a certain stabilizing effect on Cd. The geometric mean and the integrated total enzyme activity index showed that soil washing with FC and EDTA was more beneficial to the restoration of biochemical functions than that with EDTMP. After soil washing, the Chao1 index of bacteria increased, and the microbial community structure changed. Pearson correlation analysis and redundancy analysis (RDA) indicated that the three washing solutions affected soil enzyme activities and microbial community by altering soil nutrient, total Cd concentration and Cd fractions in soils.

Abstract
To improve the washing efficiency for low permeable clay, the method of vacuum enhanced washing technology was proposed. In this study, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) as eluents, the experiments of remediation of Cu-Zn contaminated cohesive soil by traditional soil column leaching and vacuum enhanced leaching was carried out. Results show that compared with traditional leaching method, the vacuum enhanced leaching method can significantly shorten the leaching time and prominently improve the removal rate of heavy metals Cu-Zn. When concentration of EDTA is 0.1 mol/L, the removal rate of Cu-Zn can reach 95.7% and 82.9%, respectively by vacuum-enhanced leaching. When concentration of HCl is 0.2 mol/L, the removal rate of Cu-Zn by vacuum enhanced leaching method can reach 96.2% and 90.2%, respectively. Whereas, the higher the concentration of EDTA and HCl, the slower the leaching rate. At the same concentration, the leaching rate of HCl was faster. After HCl leaching, the soil structure was seriously corroded, and the relative content of mineral composition changed considerably. After EDTA leaching, the corrosion of soil structure is light, and the relative content of mineral composition changes little. The conclusions obtained are of crucial theoretical value and technical support for environmental engineering.

Abstract
Available oxidation processes for removing Cr(III) complexes from water/wastewater usually encounter the formation of highly toxic Cr(VI) and the generation of Cr enriched waste sludge, posing challenges on the subsequent disposal. Herein, we achieve efficient removal of Cr(III)-organic complexes and simultaneous recovery of Cr from wastewater with enhanced curtailment of intermediate Cr(VI), by using an electrochemically driven peroxone (i.e., electro-peroxone) process with activated carbon fiber (ACF) electrodes. For Cr(III)-EDTA, electro-peroxone could remove ∼90% total Cr from 11.50 mg/L to 1.20 mg/L and ∼80% total organic carbon, with a strong curtailment of Cr(VI) to less than 0.2 mg/L. Additionally, the process could obtain a complete recovery of the removable Cr, of which 78.3% are enriched at ACF cathode as amorphous Cr(OH)3 deposits and the remaining 21.7% are adsorbed at the anode, thus avoiding the generation of Cr laden sludge. Mechanism studies show the electro-generated H2O2 reacts with O3 to generate abundant HO· for decomplexation, which sequentially oxidizes Cr(III) to Cr(VI), and degrades the released EDTA via stepwise decarboxylated process, as confirmed by HPLC analysis. Multiple pathways including electro-reduction, H2O2 reduction and electro-adsorption synergistically curtail and immobilize the formed intermediate Cr(VI). ACF characterizations and continuous 5-cycle experiments substantiate the excellent reusability of the ACF electrodes. Moreover, this process exhibits satisfactory effectiveness to Cr(III) complexed with other ligands (e.g., citrate and oxalate), and complexed Cr(III) in the real electroplating wastewater. We believe this study would provide an efficient and eco-friendly alternative for Cr(III) complexes removal from wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to elucidate the defense mechanism of Alcea rosea (Linn.) Cavan. and Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.) Ser. against the single and compound toxicity of lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) along with the synergistic effect of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) in accumulation of metals in these two species. The two plant species were subjected to single metal treatment (Pb 1000 mg kg-1, Zn 600 mg kg-1) and compound metal treatment (Pb 1000 mg kg-1 + Zn 600 mg kg-1) in a greenhouse. Besides, different levels of EDTA were applied (2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 mmol kg-1) with compound metal treatment. Several physiological and biochemical parameters, including plant photosynthetic parameters, enzymatic antioxidant system, accumulation concentration of metals, and subcellular distribution were estimated. The results showed that the antioxidative enzymes, proline, root morphological changes, and metal localization all played important roles in resisting Pb and Zn toxicity. A notable difference was that Zn was concentrated in the roots (58.5%) of H. macrophylla to reduce the damage but in the leaves (38.5%) of A. rosea to promote photosynthesis and resist the toxicity of metals. In addition, Zn reduced the toxicity of Pb to plants by regulating photosynthesis, Pb absorption and Pb distribution in subcells. The biological concentration factors (BCF) and translocation factors (TF) for Pb in two plants were less than 1, indicating that they could be considered as phytostabilizators in Pb-contaminated soils. Moreover, EDTA could enhance the enrichment and transport capacity of Pb and Zn to promote the phytoremediation effect. In summary, both plants have a certain application potential for repairing Pb-Zn-contaminated soil.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the in vitro cleaning effects of different decontamination methods and their impacts on surface characteristics using clinically failed TiUnite implants (Nobel Biocare, Kloten, Switzerland). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty clinically failed TiUnite implants were treated using different decontamination methods. Group 1 (control group) received physiological saline irrigation; Group 2 underwent erythritol powder air polishing (AIRFLOW Master Piezon, EMS Dental, Nyon, Switzerland); Group 3 was treated with erythritol powder air polishing with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid brushing (FileRite PRC, Pulpdent, Watertown, MA, USA); Group 4 received ultrasonic scaling with polyetheretherketone tips (EMS Dental); Group 5 underwent ultrasonic scaling with polyetheretherketone tips with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; and Group 6 was treated with a combination of ultrasonic scaling with polyetheretherketone tips, erythritol powder air polishing and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Surface cleaning effects, quantified by relative contaminated area reduction and visual analogue scale score, as well as surface roughness and chemistry, were assessed after decontamination. The cleaning effects of each decontamination method were also compared between TiUnite and SLA (sandblasted, large-grit acid-etched; Straumann, Basel, Switzerland) implants. RESULTS Group 6 showed the highest relative contaminated area reduction (stereoscopic microscopy 83.92%, scanning electron microscopy 96.40%), visual analogue scale score (2.83) and reduction in surface roughness (thread bottom -0.78 μm, tip -1.35 μm), as well as an almost maximal decrease in the proportion of carbon (thread bottom -12.33%, tip -8.77%) and increase in that of titanium (thread bottom 13.71%, tip 10.73%). Polyetheretherketone remnants were observed in Groups 4 and 5 but appeared to be reduced in Group 6. When comparing the outcomes with those for SLA implants, no significant differences were found. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of the present study, the combination of ultrasonic scaling with polyetheretherketone tips, erythritol powder air polishing and ethylenediaminetetraacetic brushing achieved reasonable cleaning effects. The original surface modification did not seem to have any impact on the decontamination results for any of the methods examined.

Abstract
Heavy metals usually coexist with a variety of chelating agents to form heavy metal complexes in industrial wastewater. The decomplexation of heavy metal complexes is the crucial step before the removal of heavy metals via alkaline precipitation process. An efficient synergistic activation of persulfate (PS) with alkali and CuO was used for the simultaneous decomplexation of Cu-ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (Cu(II)-EDTA) (3.14 mM) and the Cu(II) precipitation. The experimental results demonstrated that nearly complete removal of Cu(II) could be achieved by synergistic activation of PS with alkali and CuO at pH 11 after 2 h of decomplexation reaction. However, sole PS could not effectively decomplex Cu(II)-EDTA (13.5%), while the alkaline activation of PS could accomplish 57.0% removal of Cu(II). Radical scavenger tests indicated that reactive oxygen species (ROS) including SO4•-, •OH and O2•- were responsible for the decomplexation of Cu(II)-EDTA in the synergistic activation of PS with alkali and CuO. As a heterogeneous activator, CuO possessed excellent reusability and long-lasting catalytic activity and the rate constant value (k) of Cu(II) removal showed an increase (from 0.0326 min-1 in the first cycle to 0.0491 min-1 in the 24th cycle) with 24 cycles experiments. Furthermore, the biotoxicity evaluation of treated solution revealed that the biotoxicity of Cu(II)-EDTA contaminated wastewater could be effectively mitigated by the synergistic activation of PS with alkali and CuO because of the efficient precipitation of Cu(II) and oxidative degradation of EDTA organic ligands, which was favorable for the subsequent biochemical treatment.

Abstract
Regeneration and reuse of draw solute (DS) is a key challenge in the application of forward osmosis (FO) technologies. Herein, EDTA-Na2 was studied as a recoverable DS for water extraction by taking advantages of its pH-responsive property. The FO system using EDTA DS achieved a higher water flux of 2.22 ± 0.06 L m-2 h-1 and a significantly lower reverse salt flux (RSF) of 0.06 ± 0.01 g m-2 h-1, compared to that with NaCl DS having either the same DS concentration or the same Na+ concentration. The suitable pH range for the application of EDTA DS was between 4.0 and 10.5. A simple recovery method via combined pH adjustment and microfiltration was employed to recover EDTA DS and could achieve the recovery efficiency (at pH 2) of 96.26 ± 0.48%, 97.13 ± 1.03% and 98.56 ± 1.40% by using H2SO4, H3PO4 and HCl, respectively. The lowest acid cost for DS recovery was estimated from 0.0012 ± 0.0001 to 0.0162 ± 0.0003 $ g-1 by using H2SO4. The recovered EDTA DS could be reused in the subsequent FO operation and the overall recovery efficiency was 94.4% for four reuse cycles. These results have demonstrated the feasible of EDTA-Na2 DS and a potentially cost-effective recovery approach, and encouraged further exploration of using EDTA-based compounds as a draw solute for FO applications.

Abstract
Since long-chain fatty acids work as the primary energy source for the myocardium, radiolabeled long-chain fatty acids play an important role as imaging agents to diagnose metabolic heart dysfunction and heart diseases. With the aim of developing radiogallium-labeled fatty acids, herein four fatty acid-based tracers, [67Ga]Ga-HBED-CC-PDA, [67Ga]Ga-HBED-CC-MHDA, [67Ga]Ga-DOTA-PDA, and [67Ga]Ga-DOTA-MHDA, which are [67Ga]Ga-HBED-CC and [67Ga]Ga-DOTA conjugated with pentadecanoic acid (PDA) and 3-methylhexadecanoic acid (MHDA), were synthesized, and their potential for myocardial metabolic imaging was evaluated. Those tracers were found to be chemically stable in 0.1 M phosphate buffered saline. Initial [67Ga]Ga-HBED-CC-PDA, [67Ga]Ga-HBED-CC-MHDA, [67Ga]Ga-DOTA-PDA, and [67Ga]Ga-DOTA-MHDA uptakes in the heart at 0.5 min postinjection were 5.01 ± 0.30%ID/g, 5.74 ± 1.02%ID/g, 5.67 ± 0.22%ID/g, and 5.29 ± 0.10%ID/g, respectively. These values were significantly lower than that of [123I]BMIPP (21.36 ± 2.73%ID/g). For their clinical application as myocardial metabolic imaging agents, further structural modifications are required to increase their uptake in the heart.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The environmental risk of the application of synthetic chelates has furthered the implementation of biodegradable complexes to correct manganese (Mn)-deficient plants. This study used the biodegradable ligands of heptagluconate (G7) and gluconate (G6) to test the influence of the Mn2+ :ligand ratio on their fertilizers' capacity to provide Mn to plants. The efficacy of these complexes to correct Mn-deficient soybean was evaluated in hydroponics and calcareous soil conditions and compared with the synthetic chelate EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid). RESULTS This study demonstrated that G7 was a biodegradable alternative to EDTA for supplying Mn, maintaining an adequate nutritional balance compared with G6, which reduced iron (Fe) uptake by the plants. The efficacy of the Mn complexes depended on both the ligand and the Mn:ligand ratio, with the 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratios of Mn2+ :G7 being the most effective complexes in the short term on the basis of their chemical structure and stability. CONCLUSION The Mn2+ :G7 (1:1 and 1:2) complexes were found to be effective Mn sources for plant nutrition due to their chemical structures providing adequate stability in alkaline solution and their fast-action effect. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this work was to study the possible synergic effect between mixtures with iron leonardite humate (L/Fe3+ ) and synthetic chelates iron (Ch/Fe3+ : o,oEDDHA /Fe3+ or HBED/Fe3+ ), and to reevaluate the classical chelate shuttle-effect model. Different molar ratios of L/Fe3+ :Ch/Fe3+ , different doses, and different sampling times were used in hydroponic and soil experiments using soybean (Glycine max) as a model Strategy I crop in calcareous conditions. Ligand competition between the humate and chelating agents was also examined. RESULTS Iron humate participates in the chelate shuttle mechanism, providing available Fe to the chelating agent and then to the plants, showing a slight synergic effect. After a few days, the contribution of the chelates to the Fe nutrition decreases substantially, but the contribution of the humates is maintained. CONCLUSIONS The most efficient ratio was two parts of iron humates and one part of iron chelate. In particular, HBED/Fe3+ was the most suitable iron chelate because its lasting effect fits the iron humate long-term effect better. The soluble iron in soil increased and the shoot-to-root iron translocation improved due to a synergic effect by a shuttle effect exerted by iron chelate in the mixture. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Herein, fluorescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were simultaneously embedded into self-assembled dipeptide supramolecular films of N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl diphenylalanine (Fmoc-FF) on the surface of ITO electrodes (Fmoc-FF/AuNCs/HRP) by using a simple single-step process. In the films, both the fluorescence property of AuNCs and the bioelectrocatalytic property of HRP were well maintained and could be reversibly regulated by pH-sensitive structural changes in the Fmoc-FF hydrogel films. Cu(II)/EDTA in the solution could lead to the aggregation/disaggregation of AuNCs and further quenching/dequenching the fluorescence signal from the films. Meanwhile, the blue complexes formed by Cu(II) and EDTA could produce a UV-vis signal in the solution. In addition, the coordinated Cu(II) in the films enhanced the electrocatalytic capacity toward the reduction of H2O2 and could switch the current signal. A biomolecular logic circuit was built based on the smart film electrode system by using pH, the concentrations of EDTA, Cu(II) and H2O2 as inputs, while the fluorescence intensity (FL), current (I) and UV-vis extinction (E) of the solution as outputs. Various logic devices were fabricated using the uniform platform, consisting of an encoder/decoder, demultiplexer, dual-transfer gate, keypad lock, digital comparator, half adder, and controlled NOT (CNOT) gate. Specifically, an electronic three-value logic gate, gullibility (ANY) gate, was first mimicked in this biocomputing system. This work not only demonstrated the construction of a new type of multivalued logic gate by using a dipeptide micromolecular matrix but also provided a new approach for designing sophisticated biologic functions, establishing smart multianalyte biosensing or fabricating biology information processing through the use of a simple film system.

Abstract
We present a microfluidic approach that utilizes temperature-responsive and biocompatible palm oil as the shell material in microcapsules to simultaneously achieve hermetic sealing as well as on-demand temperature-triggered release of the encapsulated actives. Unlike common paraffin waxes (e.g., eicosane), microcapsule shells comprising palm oil do not form pores or cracks during freezing and provide a hermetic seal, a nearly perfect seal that separates the core containing the actives from the surrounding environment over a prolonged period of time. This allows effective isolation and protection of complex cargoes such as small molecules with high diffusivity, strong acids, and cosmetic actives including niacinamide. Moreover, the palm oil shell melts above the defined melting temperature, allowing the on-demand release of the encapsulated actives. Furthermore, palm oil is biocompatible, is edible, and leaves a minimal footprint when used in personal care and cosmetic products, offering new perspectives in the design of microcapsules for cosmetic applications.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REPORT Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a member of superfamily of zinc-dependent exopeptidases that is robustly expressed in prostate cancer cells and nonprostatic solid tumor neovasculature including microvessels of thyroid tumors. Its expression in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has been confirmed in many recent studies, but systematic studies exploring PSMA expression in patients with DTC with thyroglobulin elevation and negative iodine scintigraphy (TENIS) are lacking. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of PSMA scan in TENIS patients with DTC. METHODS Nine consecutive patients with DTC with proven TENIS syndrome (6 men and 3 women with age range 29-68 years and mean age of 48 years) underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT as per the institution protocol. Thereafter, they were subjected to 68Ga-PSMA-HBED-CC PET/CT as per the institution protocol within a week of FDG PET imaging. Prostate-specific membrane antigen expression (SUVmax) in the lesions was compared with 18F-FDG PET and CT scan findings. RESULTS In 5 of 9 patients with TENIS, the metastatic lesions showed PSMA expression. A total of 14 lesions were seen on the CT scan. Prostate-specific membrane antigen PET detected 9 of 14 lesions (64.28%) (SUVmax ranging from 10.1 to 45.67; median SUVmax of 16.31), whereas FDG PET was positive in 11 of 14 lesions (78.57%). The lesions that showed PSMA uptake was localized to bones (5 of 9) and lungs (4 of 9). Two lesions that were localized to iliac crest and acetabulum were missed on FDG PET but were seen on CT and PSMA PET scan. CONCLUSIONS The results of this pilot study indicate that 68Ga-HBED-CC-PSMA PET/CT demonstrates PSMA expression in TENIS patients with lesions being localized to the bones and lungs. 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT could be useful for the identification of TENIS patients who might benefit from PSMA-targeted radionuclide therapy.

Abstract
The dispersion of mine tailings affects ecosystems due to their high content of potentially toxic elements. Environmental risk increases when the soil impacted by tailings is used for agriculture; this use may result in health impacts. This study analyzes the feasibility of remediating a calcareous soil (used for maize cultivation) polluted with lead in the semiarid zone of Zimapán, México, by using EDTA as an extractant. Total geoavailable and bioaccessible concentrations in the gastric and intestinal phases were determined to evaluate lead availability and health risk. The soil was then washed with EDTA, and the geochemical fractionation (interchangeable, carbonates, Fe/Mn oxy-hydroxides, organic matter-sulfides, and residual) and impact on the mesophile bacteria and fungi/yeast populations were analyzed. The results showed total Pb concentrations up to 647 ± 3.50 mg/kg, a 46% bioaccessible fraction (297 ± 9.90 mg/kg) in the gastric phase and a 12.2% (80 ± 5 mg/kg) bioaccessible fraction in the intestinal phase, indicating a health and environmental risk. Meanwhile, the geochemical fractionation before washing showed a Pb fraction mainly consisting of Fe/Mn oxy-hydroxides (69.6%); this reducible fraction may progressively increase its bioaccessibility. Geochemical fractionation performed in the washed soil showed differences from that determined before the treatment; however, the iron and manganese fraction, at 42.4%, accounted for most of the Pb. The soil microbiology was also modified by EDTA, with an increase in aerobic bacteria and a decrease in fungi/yeast populations. Although 44% total lead removal was achieved, corresponding to a final concentration of 363.50 ± 43.50 mg/kg (below national and USEPA standards), washing with EDTA increased the soluble and interchangeable lead concentrations. Statistical analysis indicated a significant effect (p < 0.05) of EDTA on the soil's geochemical fractionation of lead.

Abstract
The contamination of soils by heavy metals from the mining industry nowadays is one of the greatest threats to environment and human health. The cleaning of polluted soils using cost-effective and eco-friendly methods such as phytoextraction has wide public recognition. Considering the above-mentioned ones, the objectives of the present study were the identification of Cu and Mo accumulation capability and the phytoextraction potential of Melilotus officinalis and Amaranthus retroflexus as well as the determination of the influence of ammonium nitrate and EDTA on phytoextraction effectiveness. The contaminated soil samples for phytoremediation experiments under ex situ conditions were collected from the surroundings of the Zangezur Copper and Molybdenum Combine, Armenia. During the studies, it was found out that M. officinalis and A. retroflexus are capable of growing in polluted soils. M. officinalis grown in polluted soil had greater ability to accumulate heavy metals in roots, while the ability to transport the copper to aboveground parts was more pronounced in A. retroflexus. During the growing of these plant species for phytoextraction of soils contaminated by copper, it is necessary to use chelates, in particular the EDTA, for the enhancement of the effectiveness of phytoextraction process. EDTA due to chelating influence increased the availability of copper for plants and its mobility in them that lead to greater accumulation of this metal in shoots. The application of chelates did not have a significant impact on molybdenum accumulation intensity in plants; therefore, in case of this metal, it is unreasonable to use additional chelating compounds.
