ABSTRACT This study aims to biosynthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles using aqueous leaf extracts of Cnidoscolus aconitifolius and investigate their biological activities. UV–Vis Spectroscopy, FT-IR, SEM and TEM were used for characterization. The antioxidant properties were determined using H2O2, NO, ABTS, FRAP and DPPH scavenging assays. For anti-inflammatory activities, membrane stabilization, albumin denaturation and proteinase inhibitory activity were assayed. The antibacterial effect was tested using well diffusion method. Statistical analyses were done using ANOVA. Synthesized nanoparticles showed an intensity peak at 378 nm in UV–Vis Spectroscopy. FT-IR shows the presence of O-H stretching, C = C bending, O-H bending and C–N stretching functional groups of the stabilizing action of the plant extract on the surface of the nanoparticles. NPs were shown to be spherical by SEM analysis, and the sizes were 100 nm by TEM analysis. The antioxidant properties of ZnO NPs compared to ascorbic acid standard showed significant antioxidant potential in H2O2, NO, ABTS, FRAP and DPPH scavenging assays. ZnO NPs showed excellent anti-inflammatory activity with the synthesized ZnO NPs performing better in membrane stabilization. Clinical pathogens were inhibited by ZnO NPs when compared with Cefuroxime, a standard drug. These efficient biological activities could be utilized in several biological applications.

ABSTRACT This paper addresses the development and evaluation of a case study designed to introduce both the core chemistry concepts of oxidation and reduction reactions as well as green chemistry within the undergraduate organic chemistry curriculum. The developed case study consisted of two parts that can be used in tandem or independently. Part 1 focused on calculating oxidation states and determining whether the provided bioderived reactions represented oxidation or reduction reactions, and Part 2 focused on evaluating the greenness of oxidation reactions. Students reported positive learning gains for both the core chemistry concepts of oxidation and reduction reactions and green chemistry and reported that they viewed the case study favorably. It is our hope that other educators use this case study module to incorporate green chemistry into their organic courses and use its development as inspiration to create further case studies that integrate green chemistry into the curriculum.

ABSTRACT Green analytical procedures replace harmful organic modifiers with green solvents without affecting chromatographic performance, enabling industries and research laboratories to develop green analytical methods. Benidipine hydrochloride (BEN) and Chlorthalidone (CHD) were used to treat hypertension. The literature indicates that no method for determining BEN and CHD combines RP-HPLC with green Analytical Quality by Design (AQbD) for long-term use. This study aimed to develop a green RP-HPLC for determining BEN and CHD by incorporating analytical quality by design with green chemistry principles. A central composite design was used for optimization, with 40% ethanol content and flow rate chosen as critical variables. Separation was achieved using Agilent Eclipse Plus (C18, 250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d, 5 μm) with a mobile phase of ethanol and potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (orthophosphoric acid to 3.5) in a ratio of 40:60 v/v at 1 ml/min, detection wavelength at 230 nm. Retention times for CHD and BEN were 3.1 and 5.1 min, respectively. The concentration ranges for BEN and CHD were 3.2–4.8 μg/ml and 5.0–7.5 μg/ml, respectively. The proposed method was eco-friendly and assessed using green evaluation tools. Thus, AQBD and green technologies provide regular BEN and CHD analysis in pharmaceutical formulations without environmental impact. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Nanoparticles of copper oxide were synthesized from the Spirodela polyrrhiza (greater duckweed) plant. Ultraviolet spectroscopy absorbance of around 400 nm was used for nanoparticle characterization. The presence of copper and oxygen in the biogenic nanoparticles was analyzed by the EDX technique. Based on scanning, and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) results, copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) are evenly distributed and spherical, and their sizes are in the 100 nm range. The synthesized nanoparticles of copper oxide were tested for antibacterial, antifungal, and nematicidal effectiveness against plants pest and pathogens. Antifungal and nematicidal activity against pests and plant pathogens was observed, with fungal mycelium reduced by 45–50% and eggs hatching. The findings suggest that plant-based copper oxide nanoparticles could be a potential source of plant pathogen inhibition. From this study, we concluded that synthesized CuO NPs have the potential to serve as a safer alternative for plant disease management. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT With the EU aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, conventional production cycles must be transformed into cradle-to-cradle approaches. Spent coffee grounds are often dumped in landfills, with their potential as high-quality feedstock for biofuel or bio-lubricant production. Spent coffee grounds oil (SCGO) was investigated for its physicochemical properties while having more free acid groups compared to the reference polyalphaolefin 8 (PAO 8), which may cause faster oxidation. TGA results displayed comparable thermal stability of SCGO and PAO 8 for inert/oxidative atmosphere. The oil composition was characterized by ATR-FTIR, elemental analysis, and GC-EI-MS, where a higher oxygen content was found for SCGO, referring to functional ester/acid groups. The tribological behavior of SCGO was studied as lubricant base oil and as a 5% additive in PAO 8. The condition of fresh and tribologically used oils was investigated with High-Resolution-ESI-MS, and the worn surfaces were evaluated by light microscopy and topographic analysis. The results showed a superior friction coefficient of pure SCGO (µ = 0.092) to PAO 8 (µ = 0.129). The 5% SCGO additive in PAO 8 (µ = 0.095) could significantly reduce friction compared to pure PAO 8 on an unpolished 100Cr6 surface. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT A perspective on incorporating the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) and Green Chemistry Principles (GCP) into high school chemistry curricula is presented. The framework is based upon the Johnstone-Mahaffy model for chemistry understanding which specifically links student learning to the affective or human-centred domain. Reference is made to the origins of high school chemistry curricula, recommendations from the recent Royal Society of Chemistry survey Green Shoots: A Sustainable Chemistry Curriculum for a Sustainable Planet, student engagement practices, and studies in adolescent mental health. The origins and organization of the UNSDG and GCP are outlined, with the similarities to high school chemistry curricula illustrated. Justification for the implementation of the UNSDG and GCP is given, with a specific example presented in the context of the International Baccalaureate chemistry curriculum, and the GCP are rendered in educator- and student-appropriate language.

Ingredients in nail polish and polish removers are the primary causes of occupational health problems manicurists frequently face. Several key concepts of green chemistry can be taught to an undergraduate audience using nail polish removers as a case study. Students generated green profiles of various nail polish removers available on the market based on the 12 principles of green chemistry. This study also quantified the concentration of active ingredients in each nail polish remover using a greener analytical technique: the standard addition NMR method. The amount of nail polish remover needed for lethality in manicurists was calculated. It was determined that lethality is not the only factor to be considered in toxicology but routes of exposure are equally if not more important. Finally, a discussion of ethics and economics of the nail industry was included to create a holistic approach to the analysis and understanding of a consumer issue.

ABSTRACT The aim of studies was to investigate the process of enzymatic interesterification of rapeseed oil with methyl formate and to determine the influence of three independent variables on the product yield. After evaluating the effectiveness of three enzymatic preparations, the industrial preparation Lipozyme TL IM was selected for the research. Using the surface response methodology, a model describing the dependence of the yield of rapeseed methyl esters on the molar ratio of methyl formate to oil, the amount of catalyst and the duration of the process was created. The following conditions were determined in which the highest yield of rapeseed oil methyl esters was obtained: molar ratio of methyl formate to oil 40:1, process duration 60 h and 14.57% of catalyst Lipozyme TL IM from the amount of oil. Under these conditions, an 81.79% yield of rapeseed oil methyl esters was obtained. Comparative studies of the physical and chemical properties of the product obtained during the interesterification process were performed and their compliance with the requirements of conventional biodiesel standard EN 14214 was evaluated.

ABSTRACT Scavenging of Nickel and Cadmium from synthetic metal systems was studied by using Ficus benghalensis as a biosorbent. The characteristic behavior of biosorbent was evaluated by Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Findings were supportive of selected biomass during the experimental procedure. pH 5 was found as a point of zero charge. The concentrations of acidic and basic functional groups (0.3 and 0.02 mmol/g, respectively) on the surface of Ficus benghalensis were estimated by adopting Boehm’s titration. Biosorption parameters were performed, and the co-cation inhibitory effect was found to be significantly higher for Ni + 2 than Cd + 2. The attachment of Ni + 2 was hindered by Cd + 2 present in an aqueous medium. Biosorption capacity varied in Ni + 2 >Ni + 2 mix > Cd + 2 >Cd + 2 mix. For Ni, RMSE values increased from 0.34–0.61 because Ni + 2 faced the inhibitory effect of Cd + 2, but the case was inverse for Cd + 2. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

The characteristic behavior of biosorbent was evaluated by Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Findings were supportive of selected biomass during the experimental procedure. pH 5 was found as a point of zero charge. The concentrations of acidic and basic functional groups (0.3 and 0.02 mmol/g, respectively) on the surface of Ficus benghalensis were estimated by adopting Boehm’s titration. Biosorption parameters were performed, and the co-cation inhibitory effect was found to be significantly higher for Ni + 2 than Cd + 2. The attachment of Ni + 2 was hindered by Cd + 2 present in an aqueous medium. Biosorption capacity varied in Ni + 2 >Ni + 2 mix > Cd + 2 >Cd + 2 mix. For Ni, RMSE values increased from 0.34–0.61 because Ni + 2 faced the inhibitory effect of Cd + 2, but the case was inverse for Cd + 2.
