As mentioned above, these oxide NPs are harmful in part because both anatase and rutile forms are semiconductors and produce ROS. Particularly, P25 kind has band-gap energies estimated of 3.2 and 3.0 eV, equivalent to radiation wavelengths of approximately 388 and 414 nm, respectively. Irradiation at these wavelengths or below produces a separation of charge, resulting in a hole in the valence band and a free electron in the conduction band, due to the electron movement from the valence to conduction bands. These hole–electron pairs generate ROS when they interact with H2O or O2 [43,44]. It was described that they can cause an increase in ROS levels after exposure to UV-visible light [45]. The NBT assay in the studied samples showed that bare P25TiO2NPs produce a large amount of ROS, which is drastically reduced by functionalization with vitamin B2 (Fig. 5). This vitamin, also known as riboflavin, was discovered in 1872 as a yellow fluorescent pigment, [46] but its function as an essential vitamin for humans was established more than sixty years later, and its antioxidant capacity was not studied until the end of the XX century [47,48]. This antioxidant role in cells is partially explained because the glutathione reductase enzyme (GR) requires it for good functionality. This enzyme is the one in charge of the conversion of oxidized glutathione to its reduced form which acts as a powerful inner antioxidant and can quench the ROS [49,50]. The cost of this action is that the glutathione is converted to the oxidized form and needs to be recovered by the GR. Consequently, the cells need more vitamin B2. Another glutathione action is the protection against hydroperoxide. This activity is also mediated by riboflavin. Therefore, local delivery of this vitamin seems to significantly help the cells in their fight to keep the oxidative balance, once they are exposed to high levels of ROS.

First, the ammonia leaching method is used as a technical means for the effective treatment of acid leaching slag, and the nano nitrite powder is prepared under a weak alkaline ( Ή 8 8.5 to 10) ammonia environment. In an alkaline environment, some metal impurities such as The solubility of Ca, Mg, Fe and Al hydroxides is low, and the impurities entering the final immersion liquid in the selective leaching of ammonia-ammonium sulfate are reduced, thereby ensuring the quality of the product; the traditional acid method for preparing lithopone is because of the zinc calcination. In the roasting and reduction process of the alkalized alkali, the elemental sulfur and sulfite are more or less produced, and the prepared white powder has a yellowish color, and the metathesis reaction of the patent is carried out in an ammonia solution (alkaline). The final product obtained is sulfate, which is quickly and thoroughly added by desulfurization through 3⁄40 2 , and the whiteness of the product can be ensured without high temperature calcination; the equipment requirement is lower than that of sulfuric acid leaching, and the ordinary steel leaching tank can complete the leaching; The environmental pollution problem of acid leaching residue, especially effectively solves the environmental pollution of heavy metals such as zinc, copper, lead, cadmium and arsenic in acid leaching residue and the influence of acid ions on the storage environment. Realize the recycling of high-value metal zinc in acid leaching slag, realize the acidity improvement of soil and have the comprehensive advantages of low cost, energy saving and environmental protection.
