Utilizing expired pharmaceuticals as corrosion inhibitors for copper in acidic environments offers compelling advantages, including cost-effectiveness, reduced toxicity compared to traditional inhibitors, and contribution to pharmaceutical waste reduction through recycling. This study investigates the corrosion inhibition of copper in a sulfuric acid solution using varying concentrations of Expired Betamethasone Drug, employing weight loss and Experimental Design methods. The influence of temperature on copper's corrosion behavior is examined within the range of 293–333 K. Results show that inhibition efficiency increases with higher inhibitor concentrations but decreases with rising temperature. Thermodynamic analyses elucidate adsorption and activation processes, revealing that the adsorption of Expired Betamethasone Drug on copper surfaces is characterized as endothermic and spontaneous, aligning well with the Langmuir and Frumkin adsorption isotherms. The activation and free energies of inhibition reactions support a mechanism of physical adsorption. To establish the relationship between factors and responses, we employ response surface methodology (RSM) with regression statistical analysis and probabilistic assessment. Statistical analysis demonstrates highly significant quadratic models for inhibition efficiencies (IE) with a coefficient of multiple regressions (R²) of 0.999. Further model validation confirms a strong fit (adjusted R² = 0.997), with experimental observations closely matching predictions and a highly significant model (Q² = 0.989). The findings reveal that this expired drug exhibits substantial inhibitory power, exceeding 96%, in both experimental and predictive calculations.

New 2-Isoxazoline derivatives containing furan moieties were synthesized from chalcones as starting materials, followed by antimicrobial activity. Chalcones were synthesized by reacting p-methoxy acetophenone or 3,4-(methylenedioxy)acetophenone with various aldehydes that were synthesized using Claisen-Schmidt condensation. Subsequently, the obtained products underwent cyclization with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to yield the corresponding 2-isoxazoline derivatives. The synthesized isoxazolines have been characterized via 1H-NMR, FTIR, and GC-Mass spectroscopy. The new derivatives were screened for their activity against different bacterial species as well as Candida albicans and exhibited moderate to excellent activity as new antimicrobial agents. A docking study was conducted on most potent derivatives against glucoseamine-6-phosphate synthase (GlcN-6-P), the target enzyme for antimicrobial agents. The study aimed to understand how the discovered derivatives interact with the binding pocket residues of the enzyme.

Aspirin, a widely-used anti-inflammatory drug, can lead to serious consequences when overdosed. Therefore, there's a need for simple, cost-effective methods to determine its concentration and mitigate potential risks. This study aimed to develop a method for assessing aspirin in pharmaceutical preparations without the need for expensive equipment and with minimal sensitivity to ambient light. In this work, aspirin was subjected to a reaction with Fe(III), leading to the formation of violet-colored spots on filter paper and a 96-microwell plate. These colored spots were then captured using a smartphone in normal lighting conditions and analyzed on a computer. The integrated density of each spot was measured using a novel grayscale technique, and a calibration curve was created to relate integrated density to aspirin concentration. Analytical parameters and reagent concentrations were optimized for accuracy. To validate the method, three commercial aspirin samples were assayed and compared to ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, a reference method. The developed technique demonstrated excellent precision (coefficient of variation <0.68%) and relative errors below 5.2%. When compared to traditional color models like red-green-blue (RGB) and hue-saturation-luminosity (HSL), the grayscale model showed superior correlation (R2> 0.996), while the RGB model yielded less precise results (R2= 0.792). This study showcased the effectiveness of a cost-effective methodology for accurate aspirin quantification using a smartphone camera, even in the presence of ambient light.

Widely used across industries, carbon steel is vulnerable to corrosion in aggressive environments, especially acidic ones. Thus, effective methods to mitigate metal corrosion from acids are crucial. Inhibitors are extensively used to prevent corrosion in industries, with the potential for improved protective performance. The design of experiments was employed to determine the optimal conditions for enhancing the inhibitor efficiency of Iodine–β-Cyclodextrin (Iodine/β-CD) in a sulfuric acid solution at temperatures ranging from 20°C to 50°C. The relationship between the factors and responses was established using response surface methodology (RSM), employing regression statistical analysis and probabilistic analysis. A single response was recorded: inhibitor efficiency was determined by measuring weight loss before and after immersion in the inhibitor solution. Thermodynamic parameters were also computed to determine adsorption and activation processes. The statistical analysis revealed that the quadratic models for inhibition efficiencies (IE) were highly significant with a coefficient of multiple regressions R2= 0.997. Further validation of the model indicated a good fit (R2 Adj= 0.994), and the experimentally observed values aligned well with predicted ones, demonstrating a highly significant model with Q2= 0.978. The theoretical efficiency predicted by the RSM model was 88.41%, whereas the efficiency observed during the experimental test procedure with the best-evaluated variables was 82.45%. In conclusion, this paper aims to identify the optimal conditions for employing Iodine–β-Cyclodextrin as a new corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel, utilizing experimental design methods. The results indicate that iodine/β-CD exhibits remarkable corrosion inhibitory properties for carbon steel under specific conditions.

Due to the limited supply of critical metals, their recovery from alternative sources has become a very important issue. In particular, end-of-life magnets contain significant amounts of neodymium (Nd) and dysprosium (Dy) ions and are considered secondary sources. The present study focused on the sorption and separation performance of titanium phosphate for Nd and Dy ions in an aqueous solution. In this regard, amorphous titanium phosphate (am‐TiP) was prepared via one‐step precipitation. XRD, SEM‐EDS, FTIR, and BET analysis were utilized to enlighten the morphological, structural, and surface properties of am‐TiP. The uptake of Nd3+ and Dy3+ ions was examined individually and in multiple element solutions depending on solution pH, contact time, metal concentration, and the presence of Co2+ ions. The maximum uptake capacity was 40.16 mg/g at pH 6 for Nd3+ and 26.95 mg/g at pH 4 for Dy3+. Am‐TiP has been observed to exhibit selectivity towards Nd3+ and Dy3+ ions in solutions containing Co2+ ions. The highest desorption yields obtained for Nd3+ and Dy3+ using 1.0 mol/L HCl were 95.2% and 97.4%, respectively.

Hydrogen is a clean energy carrier that will reduce dependence on fossil fuels and contribute to reducing the harmful effects on the environment resulting from using fossil fuels. Hydrogen is produced by the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH4), one of the chemical hydrides, using a catalyst. In this study, Fe3O4@Salicylic acid magnetic nano-catalyst (Fe3O4@SA MNCs) was synthesized using the co-precipitation technique. The structural, physical, and chemical properties of the produced Fe3O4@SA MNCs were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, VSM, SEM, and SEM-EDX methods. At room temperature, the effect on hydrogen production performance was examined in the amounts of Fe3O4@SA MNCs (10, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg), NaOH (0, 10, 20, and 25 mg), and NaBH4 (25, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg). The highest hydrogen generation rates (HGR) were obtained using 10 mg Fe3O4@SA MNCs, 150 mg NaBH4, and 0 mg NaOH at room temperature. The obtained HGR value was calculated as 400 mL gcat-1.min-1. Fe3O4@SA MNCs were used for hydrogen production for the first time in this study. This study showed that Fe3O4@SA MNCs exhibit catalytic properties and are a promising, efficient catalyst in hydrogen production from NaBH4.

The objective of this research was to evaluate the feasibility of using orange peels as a low-cost adsorbent to remove methyl orange (MO) from water solutions. The orange peel adsorbent underwent characterization through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy to determine its properties before and after adsorption. A series of batch adsorption experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of various parameters such as contact time, adsorbent dosage, particle size, and initial dye concentration on the adsorption process. In each case, varying the value of the parameter of interest while keeping all other parameters constant. Results revealed that the highest removal of the dye from the adsorbent was achieved at a contact time of 90 min, the adsorbent dosage of 0.5 g, a particle size of less than 63 µm, and an initial concentration of 300 mg/L. Furthermore, the adsorption rate increased with increasing contact time, adsorbent dosage, and initial concentration, while it decreased with increasing particle size of the adsorbent. Concentrations of methyl orange were analyzed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The experimental equilibrium data was analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The Langmuir isotherm provided the best fit for the experimental data with a correlation coefficient value of 0.9964 and a maximum adsorption capacity of 17.69 mg/g.

This study presents the development of a novel, facile, and overly sensitive spectrophotometric approach for quantifying promethazine hydrochloride (PRO) within its pharmaceutical formulations. The method capitalizes on an oxidative coupling reaction, achieved through the oxidation of the compound in an acidic milieu utilizing ammonium cerium (IV) sulfate dehydrate (Ce+4) solution. This process leads to the creation of a green-colored solution, which, upon conjugation with 5-aminosalicylic acid, exhibits maximum absorption at a wavelength of 598 nm. The methodology investigated several parameters, encompassing oxidation duration, temperature, quantities of oxidizing agent and coupling reagent, and determining the stoichiometric ratio between promethazine hydrochloride and 5-aminosalicylic acid. The established ratio was confirmed to be 1:1. Numerous organic solvents were evaluated, with water emerging as the optimal choice due to its pronounced absorption characteristics at the 598 nm wavelength. The applicability of Beer's law was verified over a concentration range of 2 - 28 μg/mL of promethazine hydrochloride, with a calculated molar absorption coefficient of 1.9606 x 104 L/mol∙cm. The Sandell sensitivity index was determined as 0.0164 μg/cm2, while the relative standard deviation (RSD) ranged from 0.8553- 1.2671%. Notably, recovery percentages were also within the 99.88 – 100.34% range. The efficacy of this technique was effectively demonstrated through its successful application in the analysis of pharmaceutical formulations containing promethazine hydrochloride, employing the standard method as a benchmark.
