Abstract

Polyfluoroalkyl substances, particularly perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), are persistent environmental pollutants with severe health risks due to their bioaccumulation and resistance to degradation. Current PFOS removal technologies are limited by either efficiency, cost, or environmental concerns. Here, we introduce a biocompatible, protein-based sponge approach using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a scaffold for efficient PFOS removal. We developed highly porous, mechanically robust sponges by optimizing foaming parameters such as mixing speed, duration, and surfactant concentration. Advanced characterization techniques, including microcomputed tomography and cryo-scanning electron microscopy, confirmed the sponges' structural integrity. Leveraging natural BSA-PFOS interactions, the sponges demonstrate effective PFOS removal, achieving up to ≈80% efficiency at a pH of ≈7.4, similar to natural water systems. Adsorption behavior is described using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms, showing high adsorption capacity and surface interaction. Mechanical testing confirmed durability, making the sponges suitable for real-world applications. This eco-friendly method surpasses conventional PFOS removal techniques, offering a cost-effective solution with potential applications in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and catalysis. This work paves the way for developing multifunctional, porous protein-based materials that address urgent environmental challenges while offering versatile applications in biotechnology.

摘要

多氟烷基物质,特别是全氟辛烷磺酸(PFOS),是持久性环境污染物,由于其生物累积性和抗降解性而具有严重的健康风险。目前的PFOS去除技术受到效率、成本或环境问题的限制。在此,我们介绍一种基于蛋白质的生物相容性海绵方法,使用牛血清白蛋白(BSA)作为支架来高效去除PFOS。我们通过优化诸如混合速度、持续时间和表面活性剂浓度等发泡参数,开发出了高度多孔、机械性能强大的海绵。先进的表征技术,包括微型计算机断层扫描和低温扫描电子显微镜,证实了海绵的结构完整性。利用天然的BSA-PFOS相互作用,这些海绵展示了有效的PFOS去除能力,在pH约为7.4时效率高达约80%,与天然水系统相似。使用朗缪尔等温线和弗伦德利希等温线描述吸附行为,显示出高吸附容量和表面相互作用。机械测试证实了其耐用性,使这些海绵适用于实际应用。这种环保方法超越了传统的PFOS去除技术,提供了一种具有成本效益的解决方案,在药物递送、组织工程和催化方面具有潜在应用。这项工作为开发多功能、多孔的蛋白质基材料铺平了道路,这些材料既能应对紧迫的环境挑战,又能在生物技术中提供多种应用。
