This work was designed to study the effect of major drains, such as El Rahawy, on the Nile's water quality over time. The data in this study includes six years of physical and chemical variables data, starting from 2015 to 2020, covering three different water streams. The present results showed that the Rosetta branch and Khandaq sharky canal were directly affected by the agricultural drainage of the Rahway drain, with the change over time for the worse. Rayah El Nasery canal enjoyed complete independence from the negative impact of the drain while maintaining the quality at an appropriate level over time. The study predicts a decline in the water quality of the Rosetta branch in the future and recommends exerting more efforts to treat all pollutants that are discharged on the Nile and raise the efficiency of the Rahawy drain.
这项工作的目的是研究主要排水渠,如El Rahawy,随着时间的推移对尼罗河水质的影响。本研究的数据包括6年的理化变量数据,从2015年到2020年,涵盖了三条不同的水流。研究结果表明,罗塞塔支渠和坎达克鲨鱼渠直接受到公路排水农业排水的影响,且随时间变化越严重。Rayah El Nasery运河完全不受排水的负面影响,同时随着时间的推移,质量保持在适当的水平。该研究预测罗塞塔支流的水质将来会下降,并建议加大力度处理尼罗河排放的所有污染物,提高拉哈维排水渠的效率。

Parabens are chemicals that are frequently used as preservatives in numerous cosmetic products. In recent years, the safety concern over these compounds has grown due to their endocrine-disrupting activity. In this research, a novel green magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer (GMMIP) was synthesised using propylparaben as a template and then applied as an adsorbent to selectively recognise and remove parabens from cosmetic samples. The green strategies were introduced by using Persicaria odorata or Kesum leaf extract as a reducing agent to synthesise green magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) as a magnetic core, and deep eutectic solvent (DES) has been designed as an environmentally friendly functional monomer that was used in the preparation of GMMIP. The GMMIP was characterised using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The results of FESEM and BET indicated that the GMMIP exhibited an irregular spherical shape and mesoporous characteristics with a pore size of 17.74 nm. The adsorption pH, kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics parameters were performed to investigate the interactions that take place between GMMIP and propylparaben. The adsorption processes appeared to best fit the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Freundlich isotherm models at an optimum pH of 12. Findings from a thermodynamics study revealed the adsorption process was exothermic, spontaneous, and more favourable at 298 K. The optimised GMMIP was applied as an adsorbent to remove the parabens from cosmetic samples. When compared to methylparaben and ethylparaben, the GMMIP had the highest selectivity and effectively removed propylparaben, with recoveries ranging from 75.6% to 113.3%. It was found that the limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were between 0.03 and 0.05 mg/L and 0.11 and 0.16 mg/L, respectively. The synthesised GMMIP proved to be a convenient and effective adsorbent to remove parabens from cosmetic products.

The food industry consumes large amounts of water although there is an increasing demand for water and a rapid decrease in the level of natural water resources. Wastewater resulting from food industries needs to be assessed for their compliance to standards. In this study, wastewater treatment steps from the food industry were investigated for accurate assessment of wastewater loading by analyzing parameters of the concentration of compounds present in the effluents. The results revealed that the parameters of treated wastewater were as follow, electrical conductivity 2931 μs/cm, total suspended solids 100 mg/L, biochemical oxygen demand 90 mg/L, chemical oxygen demand 250 mg/L, total phosphorus 7.9 mg/L, and total nitrogen 70 mg/L. This exerts a huge load on the biological treatment unit. Thus, this study offers an understanding and support in selecting appropriate treatment for industrial wastewater to obtain an effluent suitable in compliance with standards of the environmental quality.

In this communication, condensation from different aromatic, aliphatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes, hydroxyl amine, and sodium azide in toluene reflux was used to produce electronically and structurally distinct tetrazoles with a range of yields 5-94%. Zn(OAc)2•2H2O (10 mol%) was used as a catalyst in the synthesis, which was eco-friendly, readily available, and affordable. The IR, NMR, and mass spectral studies were utilized in order to carry out a comprehensive characterization for all the 5-aryl tetrazole derivatives. This approach contributes to the current chemical synthesis of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles in an appealing and convenient manner thanks to its quick reaction times, good to exceptional yields, safe process, and straightforward workup.

The regioselectivity of the [3+2] cycloaddition reactions between trans-β-nitrostyrene and C,N-diarylnitryle imine analogues as three atom components (TACs) has been studied with the use of Conceptual Density Functional Theory in the framework of Molecular Electron density Theory. Global and local reactivity indices were determined. Presented quantum-chemical computations showed that, for the reaction of nitroalkene with diphenylnitryle imine, the most favourable reaction path is determined by the nucleophilic attack of C3 carbon atom of TAC on an electrophilic Cα carbon atom of nitroalkene. Therefore, the creation of 1,3,4-triphenyl-5-nitro-Δ2-pyrazoline, according to channel B, is more probable. Similarly, to presented conclusion, for reactions of nitroalkene with nitryle imines containing ED group at para position of the phenyl ring also the most favourable reaction paths run through channel B leading to 1,3,4-triphenyl-5-nitro-Δ2-pyrazolines. In turn, reactions of nitroalkene with nitryle imines containing EW group at para position of the phenyl ring have the opposite preference and the most favourable reaction paths is channel A leading to 1,3,5-triphenyl-4-nitro-Δ2-pyrazolines.
在分子电子密度理论的框架下,应用概念密度泛函理论研究了反式β-硝基苯乙烯与C, n -二芳基硝基亚胺类似物作为三原子组分(TACs)的[3+2]环加成反应的区域选择性。确定了全局和局部反应性指数。量子化学计算表明,在硝基烯与二苯基硝基亚胺的反应中,TAC的C3碳原子亲核攻击硝基烯的Cα碳原子决定了最有利的反应路径。因此,根据通道B,生成1,3,4-三苯基-5-硝基-Δ2-pyrazoline的可能性更大。同样,根据本文的结论,对于硝基烯与苯基环对位含有ED基团的硝基亚胺的反应,最有利的反应路径也是通过通道B,从而得到1,3,4-三苯基-5-硝基-Δ2-pyrazolines。反过来,硝基烯烃与苯环对位含有EW基团的硝基亚胺反应具有相反的偏好,最有利的反应路径是通向1,3,5-三苯基-4-硝基-Δ2-pyrazolines的通道A。

An experimental investigation was undertaken to study the Cobalt-based Stellite 6, powder deposited on SS 304 stainless steel substrate without any intermittent layer using an atmospheric plasma spray deposition process by varying the thickness of coating in the range of 74 µm, 128 µm, and 215 µm. The effect of coating thickness on metallurgical properties and corrosion resistance behavior was investigated. Optical microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) were employed to study the morphology of Stellite 6 coating. X-Ray Diffraction was used for structural analysis and to identify the phase formation. It was observed that the sample with 128 µm coating thickness provides the best result concerning microhardness and microstructure characteristics whereas the sample with 215 µm coating thickness provides the best corrosion resistance property. The reasons for the deviation were investigated and the factors responsible for the deviation were assigned in this investigation.

The soil type and temperature are considered important parameters that can influence the rates and equilibria of different environmental processes. Therefore, the adsorption and desorption isotherms of fipronil in clay loam, clay, sandy loam, sandy clay loam, sand and loamy sand soils at 25 and 50˚C was studied. The amount of fipronil adsorbed and desorbed by different soils was significantly influenced by the temperature. Adsorption was higher in clay loam, clay, sandy clay loam and sandy soil at 25°C, while sand soil and loamy sand soil at 50°C. The non-desorbed amount was greater at 25°C in different types of soil except for clay loam soil. The negative ΔG˚ indicated that the adsorption/desorption in different types of soil was spontaneous at different temperatures. The value of standard enthalpy change (ΔH˚) was positive in clay soil, sandy loam soil, sandy clay loam soil and loamy sand soil for adsorption and sandy loam soil, sand soil and loamy sand soil for desorption. Moreover, the standard entropy change (ΔS˚) was negative in soils for adsorption and desorption isotherms except clay loam soil. Adsorption and desorption isotherms trends as well as the values of the correlation coefficients indicated that the adsorption and desorption isotherms of fipronil in tested soils were fitted to the Freundlich model because the correlation coefficient is very close to 0.999.

In this study, the adulteration of Moroccan Picholine extra virgin olive oil with Arbequina virgin olive oil was monitored using the Fourier transform mid-infrared (FT-MIR) spectroscopy technique and chemometrics methodologies. To discriminate between olive oil that has been adulterated and unadulterated, principal component analysis (PCA) was utilized for qualitative analysis. We created the best calibration models for quantitative analysis using principal component regression (PCR) and partial least-squares regression (PLS). The first three principal components account for 95% of the overall variability, according to PCA analysis. PCA allows for the classification of the dataset into two groups: adulterated and unadulterated Moroccan Picholine olive oil. The application of the PLS and PCR calibration models for the quantification of adulteration demonstrates high-performance capabilities, as indicated by high values of correlation coefficients R2 greater than 0.999 and 0.995 and lower values of root mean square error (RMSE) less than 0.767 and 2.16 using PLS and PCR, respectively. According to our results, FT-MIR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics approaches can be used successfully as a simple, quick, and non-destructive method for the quantification and discrimination of adulterated olive oil.

The application of the PLS and PCR calibration models for the quantification of adulteration demonstrates high-performance capabilities, as indicated by high values of correlation coefficients R2 greater than 0.999 and 0.995 and lower values of root mean square error (RMSE) less than 0.767 and 2.16 using PLS and PCR, respectively. According to our results, FT-MIR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics approaches can be used successfully as a simple, quick, and non-destructive method for the quantification and discrimination of adulterated olive oil.","PeriodicalId":10942,"journal":{"name":"Current Chemistry Letters","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75674177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Egypt, the request for salt fish products has been increasing during many feasts because it is one of Egypt's favorite foods. It has been reported that in certain seasons, these products cause toxicity and even death. Most fish poisonings around the world are known to be caused by elevated histamine levels. Thus, the study assessed the histamine levels of herring and fesikh samples available on the market and established the safety of these products with recommendations for various treatments that may inhibit the production of histamine in herring and fesikh through bacteria and enzyme production. Before manufacturing herring and fesikh, the fresh fish is soaked for one hour in a modified pH solution of 4 by vinegar with the addition of natural substances individually or in combination (such as garlic, onion, hot pepper, or aloe vera) or some chemicals singly (such as edta, nisin, h2o2, formic acid, and so2). The levels of histamine in herring (111 to 138 mg/kg) and fesikh (214 to 279 mg/kg) were unsafe in marketable samples. The histamine levels of herring and fesikh in proposed treatments were safe since they did not exceed 26 mg/kg after 30 days of cold storage for herring or 45 mg/kg after maturity of fesikh. The proposed treatments enhanced greatly herring and fesikh organoleptic qualities, especially those containing natural ingredients, such as garlic, hot pepper, or their mixture beside onion, which are more accepted treatments.
