“…Farmers in the area use the surrounding rivers as a source of water to irrigate their crops, but these rivers sometimes exceed the environmental quality standards of 1 mg/ L for boron (Ambiente, 2017), coastal areas where boron concentrations tend to be high. Research shows elevated concentrations of boron in river water (Bolan et al, 2023). Given this, it is important to monitor the boron concentrations in irrigation water periodically and make it available to farmers in the area.…”

Boron is an essential micronutrient for normal plant growth. The main objective of this study was the development of a colorimetric kit for the in situ determination of the concentration of boron in irrigation water with a colorimetric scale. Said scale was compared with a boron calibration curve based on the reaction with azomethine-H. The calibration curve of the spectrophotometric method presented a correlation coefficient of 0.998, the detection limit and the quantification limits of the method were 0.1232 and 0.1605 mg/L respectively. It was therefore concluded that the colorimetric kit has potential for the determination of boron in situ in irrigation water.

Increasing levels of boron in water exceeding acceptable thresholds have triggered concerns regarding environmental pollution and adverse health effects. In response, significant efforts are being made to develop new adsorbents for the removal of boron from contaminated water. Among the various materials proposed, inorganic adsorbents have emerged as promising materials due to their chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability. This review aims to comprehensively examine recent advances made in the development of inorganic adsorbents for the efficient removal of boron from water. Firstly, the adsorption performance of the most used adsorbents, such as magnesium, iron, aluminum, and individual and mixed oxides, are summarized. Subsequently, diverse functionalization methods aimed at enhancing boron adsorption capacity and selectivity are carefully analyzed. Lastly, challenges and future perspectives in this field are highlighted to guide the development of innovative high-performance adsorbents and adsorption systems, ultimately leading to a reduction in boron pollution.

Halohydrin dehalogenases (HHDHs) have demonstrated significant potential as biocatalysts for synthesizing industrial heterocyclic compounds and chiral alkanolamines from aromatic substrates with NaOCN that are not feasible through chemosynthesis. To further study the HHDH reaction in real industrial applications, a diverse panel of HHDHs has been screened for their ability to convert aliphatic cyclohexene oxide. By using the best HHDH variant in form of a whole cell biocatalyst, a novel chemical process, regulated by the cascaded chemoenzymatic reactions for pilot‐scale ring‐opening reactions, has been successfully developed. Using the best HHDH hit in whole‐cell form provides a viable bio‐catalytic approach for the synthesis of related fine chemicals. Our research provides a promising strategy for scaling up non‐native ring‐opening reactions from the laboratory to industrial applications.
