Reactive dyes can be found in large quantities in textile industry wastewater due to their widespread use for dyeing cotton fabrics and their durable nature. In the treatment of wastewater containing dyestuffs in this class, advanced treatment methods have become necessary due to the inadequacy of conventional treatment methods and their disadvantages. For this reason, electro-Fenton, an electrochemical advanced oxidation method, is a strong alternative as a treatment technology that provides complete disintegration of dye molecules. In this study, the electro-Fenton method was used to treat model wastewater containing the reactive azo dye Sumifix Yellow EXF. The electro-Fenton process is based on the in situ generation of hydroxyl radicals (⦁OH), a strong oxidant, using Fe2+ and H2O2 released at the electrodes or added from outside. In the electrochemical cell used, carbon fiber was used as the cathode and iron was used as the anode. While Fe2+ ion was produced at the anode, H2O2 was added to the cell externally. In the experiments carried out at room temperature, a 250 mL glass beaker was used as a reactor. In the study, the optimization of the parameters was achieved by using the classical experimental design method. According to this method, one parameter is changed and other parameters are kept constant. In order to achieve the highest dyestuff removal, experiments were conducted by varying the voltage (5–10 V), H2O2 concentration (9–74 mM), Na2SO4 concentration (6–25 mM), and pH (3-5), and the impact of these factors on dye removal and energy consumption was evaluated. It was found that for the best dye removal, voltage is 7.5 V, the H2O2 concentration is 74 mM, the Na2SO4 concentration is 25 mM and the optimum pH value is 4. At these values, 98.14% removal at 30 minutes was achieved with an energy consumption of 7.98 Wh/L. The electro-Fenton method was found to be a highly effective approach for wastewater treatment and environmental remediation, showing remarkable dye removal efficiency with reasonable energy consumption under optimized conditions.

Modified composite electrodes have gained considerable interest in the detection of heavy metal ions due to their excellent sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and rapid response. Generally, these sensors consist of binder, conductive substance, and modifier. This study examined into the performance of a novel modified electrode that used a graphite–bleaching earth (BE-MCPE) composite performed while detecting trace amounts of Pb(II) using a differential pulse voltammetric technique (DPASV). In order to investigate the properties of BE-MCPE, we employed several analytical techniques, including SEM, SEM-EDX, FTIR, and XRD. These techniques were used to characterize the physical, chemical, and elemental properties of BE-MCPE, as well as its Pb(II) adsorption capacity, providing a comprehensive understanding of its composition and structure. The electrochemical results showed that the modified electrode demonstrated superior sensitivity and selectivity, in detecting Pb(II) ions, with a linear response range of 2.10-7 M to 10.10-7 M, limit of detection (LOD) of 4,89x10-8 mol.L-1, and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 1,63x10-7 mol.L-1. This novel modified electrode can achieve the sensitive detection of trace amounts of Pb(II) in a wide range of wastewater applications.

This paper presents a comprehensive study of the differences in heavy metal adsorption on natural, modified, and synthetic zeolites. Heavy metal treatment and adsorption are critical issues in today's modern world, and despite advancements in technology, they remain a global challenge. Industrial effluents are a major source of heavy metal pollutants, which have a severe impact on human health and the environment. Therefore, removing heavy metals from contaminated water and wastewater is a necessity. Adsorption is the most commonly used method for removing heavy metals from the environment due to its cost-effectiveness, design, and performance. Among various adsorbents, zeolites are currently considered a suitable method due to their cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and the varying ion-exchange capacity of natural zeolites worldwide for cations such as ammonium and heavy metal ions. The findings of this research could provide useful information for developing efficient and cost-effective methods for the removal of heavy metals from water and wastewater, thus addressing a critical global issue. The outcomes of this research contribute to promoting a green and healthy environment.

The acid dissociation constants (pKa) of the bis-acyl thiourea derivatives 5, 6 were determined potentiometrically and spectrophotometrically. The pKa values of products 5, 6 were determined in 50% (v/v) dimethyl sulfoxide–water hydro-organic solvent in the presence of 0.1 molL1 ionic strength of NaCl and in the acidic medium at 25±0.1 °C, and two pKa values were calculated for each compound with the HYPERQUAD computer program using the data obtained from the potentiometric titrations performed. In addition, three pKa values for each compound were determined in the calculations using the HypSpec program from the data obtained from the spectrophotometric titrations performed under the conditions where the potentiometric titrations were performed. For compounds 5 and 6, spectrophotometrically, pKa1 was 3.56±0.08 and 3.87±0.01, respectively, pKa2 was 7.11±0.08 and 7.05±0.01, respectively, and pKa3 was 12.30±0.08 and 11.82±0.02, respectively. It can be said that pKa1, pKa2, and pKa3 values may belong to enol, enthiol, and NH, respectively. Moreover, for compounds 5 and 6, potentiometrically, pKa2 was 7.06±0.13 and 6.94±0.11, respectively, and pKa3 was 12.11±0.06 and 11.17±0.06, respectively, and it can be said that pKa2 and pKa3 values may belong to enthiol and NH, respectively.

Indole and benzophenone moiety are of significant interest to investigators because they are found in many natural products and pharmacologically active compounds. They represent versatile synthetic building blocks. The benzophenone and indole scaffolds are special structures in medicinal chemistry because these compounds are found in several biologically active natural products, compounds containing indole and benzophenone exhibit anticancer, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, and antiviral activities. In this study, derivatives of 2-(diphenyl methylene) hydrazine, containing both indole and benzophenone moieties were successfully synthesized. The structural elucidation of the synthesized compounds were done using spectroscopic techniques like IR, 1HNMR, and 13CNMR. The synthesized target compounds were investigated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against two bacterial strains; staphylococcus aureus (S. auras), and Escherichia coli (E. coli) using the disc diffusion method. All synthesized target compounds showed no significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) but exhibited moderate activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli). Among all the synthesized compounds, 2-(diphenyl methylene)-1-((1-tosyl-1H-indol-3-yl) methylene) hydrazine (BHT) (7b) showed a good inhibition at a concentration of 50 μg/mL with a zone of inhibition of 21.7 mm against Escherichia coli (E.coli) which was comparable with standard drug Ceftriaxone with the zone of inhibition of 26 mm. Thus, this compound could be considered as a lead molecule to design and develop novel antibacterial drugs.

The main goal of the study was to monitor the Antimicrobial activity of two novel perylene diimides which were synthesized and characterized. Antimicrobial activity was investigated against Four Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains (MT) (Mt-H37Rv, Mt-H37Ra and two clinical isolates) and two Staphylococcus aureus strains [Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Staphylococcus aureus (SA)]. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum bactericidal activity (MBCs) were determined. Both compounds exhibited bactericidal effects and MICs were found to be changing in the range of 48-96 µg/mL for four MT-strains. Compounds were also effective on Staphylococcus strains at MIC = 96 µg/mL.

This paper presents a synthesis of a sweet almond oil-based trimethylolpropane biolubricant and the evaluation of its temperature-dependent viscosity properties. The oil was converted into biodiesel by the transesterification process after extraction, refining, and acid-alkaline transesterification. After that, biolubricant was produced by further transesterifying biodiesel with trimethylolpropane at 105 oC at a ratio of 3.9:1 for a 60-minute reaction time with a potassium hydroxide catalyst concentration of 1 wt. %. According to the American Standard Test Methods (ASTM), the biolubricant's pour point and index of viscosity were determined to be 267.50 and -4 oC, respectively. The measured viscosities were 42.80, 30.18, 21.39, 12.25, and 8.90 cSt. cSt at 30, 40, 60, 80, and 100 °C, demonstrating an inverse relationship between temperature and lubricant viscosity. The difference between the FTIR spectra of the biodiesel and the biolubricant—1755.74 cm-1 versus 1743.96 cm-1—verifies the ester group. Sweet almond oil has a higher iodine content than unsaturated glycerides (9.52 g of iodine per 100 g of oil sample) and includes 53.478 % more unsaturated fatty acids than saturated fatty acids, and 71.725 % unsaturated fatty acids for biolubricant according to gas chromatographic data. Linoleic acid made up the majority of the fatty acids in the oil and synthetic biolubricant, with percentages of 31.44 and 45.93 %, respectively. Sweet almond biolubricant and oil contained palmitic, linoleic, and oleic acids. The biolubricant has the potential to function as light gear oil for automobiles because its characterization results correlate favorably with the ISO VG-32 criteria

Abstract: Bitter almond shells (BAS) were inspected as a low-cost precursor in producing activated carbon (AC) through the optimized ZnCl2 activation route. The raw BAS were impregnated with ZnCl2 at multiple ratios (1:1 - 3:1 ZnCl2:BAS), followed by carbonization at various temperatures (400 – 800 °C) for different durations (30 – 120 minutes) in a tubular reactor. The typical AC sample was prepared using a 1:1 ZnCl2:BAS impregnation ratio and activated at 500 °C for 60 minutes. The AC yield under those conditions was 23.46%. The BET surface area (SABET), Boehm titration method, point of zero charge (pHPZC), Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FTIR), and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) of the optimal AC sample were determined. The identification outcomes disclosed that this AC sample is mesoporous with SABET, iodine number, total pore volume, and average pore width of 1221.60 m2/g, 1444.23 mg/g,1.50 cm3/g, and 4.98 nm, respectively. The adsorptive removal of methyl orange (MO) dye from its aqueous phase by this AC was accomplished at various solution pH (2–10), different amounts of the AC (0.05-0.4 g), multiple initial concentrations (50–400 mg/L), variable temperature (10-50 °C) and varied contact time (0–420 min) in a batch- mode operation. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 224.71 mg/g was obtained at 323 K, pH= 2.0, initial (MO) concentration of 400 mg/L, 0.25 g AC dose, and 420 minutes contact time. The kinetic outcomes best fitted to the pseudo-2nd -order kinetics model, while the MO equilibrium capacity obeyed the Langmuir model rather than other models. Thermodynamic studies of the MO adsorption by the BAS-derived AC disclosed that the adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic. The adsorption mechanism of MO by the declared AC mostly involved electrostatic attractions and hydrogen bonding interaction. This work demonstrates that BAS is an advantageous raw material for producing low-cost and effectual mesoporous AC carbon with substantive surface area.

The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 224.71 mg/g was obtained at 323 K, pH= 2.0, initial (MO) concentration of 400 mg/L, 0.25 g AC dose, and 420 minutes contact time. The kinetic outcomes best fitted to the pseudo-2nd -order kinetics model, while the MO equilibrium capacity obeyed the Langmuir model rather than other models. Thermodynamic studies of the MO adsorption by the BAS-derived AC disclosed that the adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic. The adsorption mechanism of MO by the declared AC mostly involved electrostatic attractions and hydrogen bonding interaction. This work demonstrates that BAS is an advantageous raw material for producing low-cost and effectual mesoporous AC carbon with substantive surface area.","PeriodicalId":17299,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society Section A: Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81962599","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}

Graphene is the name for a monolayer sheet of carbon atoms that are bonded together in a repeating pattern of hexagons. This sheet is only one atom thick. Monolayers of graphene stacked on top of each other. In this article, we have compared the characterization results of graphene and graphene oxide along with synthesis via different methods. A sigma bond connects each atom in a graphene sheet to its three closest neighbours and each atom also contributes one electron to a conduction band that covers the entire graphene sheet. Graphene when oxidized is called graphene oxide (GO) and is mostly used in photoelectric, materialistic, catalyst and energy fields due to its thermal, electrical and mechanical characteristics. It is also used in the field of medical science, drug delivery and biomedical applications. Graphene have been improved due to import of 3D printing technology. In last few years, graphene has taken the attention of most material science researchers due to its various applications. Graphene based polymers and nanocomposites are widely used in sensors, optoelectronics, magneto transport, automotive, biosensors, electronics and aerospace fields.

The conductivity and spectrophotometry techniques were employed to evaluate the binary and ternary complexes of the divalent metal ions Co(II) and Cu(II) with the physiologically relevant amino acid L-Valine (Val) and the analgesic paracetamol. The conductivity experiments were generated by direct conductivity equation from conductivity titration data, while the spectrophotometry experiments were performed using the continuous variations approach (Job's method). Both techniques were accomplished in an aqueous solution with a constant concentration of 0.004 M of divalent metal ions at (40.0 ± 0.1) °C. The binary complexes of Co(II) and Cu(II) have a 1:1 binding ratio of metal to paracetamol (M:para). However, the binary complexes of Co(II) and Cu(II) have metal: Val binding ratios of either 1:1 or 2:1. In addition, the Cu(II) binary complexes of both ligands have a higher stability constant than Co(II) binary complexes of paracetamol and Val ligands, which was in good agreement with the Rossotti-Willime order. The ternary complexes of Co(II) and Cu(II) have a 1:1:1 binding ratio of metal to paracetamol: L-valine, (M:para:Val). The stability constants were in order: The ternary metal complexes > The binary metal-L-Val complexes > The binary metal-para complexes. DFT (Density Functional Theory) simulations were used in order to gain a better understanding of the molecular interactions of Co(II) and Cu(II) divalent metal ions with L-Val and paracetamol. Calculations were made on the electronic structure, HOMOs and LUMOs, and molecular geometry of complexes and their corresponding ligands. The findings unequivocally demonstrate that the metal ion is bound to both the amide nitrogen in the paracetamol ligand and the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group. Moreover, the metal ion is bound to the nitrogen atom of the amine NH2 group and the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group for the L-Val ligand.
