Fabricating of Fe3O4@Ag-MOF nanocomposite and evaluating its adsorption activity for removal of doxorubicin.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the doxorubicin (DOX) adsorption behavior on Fe3O4@Ag-Metal Organic Framework (Fe3O4@Ag-MOF). This adsorbent was effectively prepared using a simple synthetic process. Many instruments, including FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM, and XPS, were used to characterized the new Fe3O4@Ag-MOF. Additionally, the presented Fe3O4@Ag-surface MOF's area was shown to be 586.06 m2/g with a size of around 43 nm. The composite that was made has magnetic properties that were quite strong (63.3 emu/g). The produced Fe3O4@Ag-MOF was discovered to have a fantastic ability to adsorb the anti-cancer drug DOX, with a 1.72 mmol/g (934.85 mg/g) adsorption capacity. On the basis of changes in temperature, pH, and DOX concentration, the DOX adsorption behavior mechanism was investigated. The adsorption capacity of Fe3O4@Ag-MOF for DOX was greater at pH 7.0, according to experimental data. The adsorption equilibrium also demonstrated that the Langmuir adsorption was regulated the best fit to the extracted data compared with the other models. Additionally, the activation energy of adsorption for DOX onto Fe3O4@Ag-MOF was determined, indicating the chemisorption process. The adsorption kinetics was shown in the well-known kinetic model of the pseudo-second-order. The adsorption thermodynamic measurements were documented according to according to the enthalpy (ΔH°), entropy(ΔS°), and Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) parameters demonstrated that the reaction was endothermic and spontaneous thermodynamic. The adsorption of DOX onto Fe3O4@Ag-MOF from real water samples (tap water, effluent wastewater, and influence wastewater) were investigated. It's interesting that the synthetic adsorbent had great recyclability 72.6 percent in the fifth cycle indicating that it was highly recyclable. After adsorption, the typical Fe3O4@Ag-MOF XRD peak intensities and locations were mostly unchanged throughout adsorption indicates the crystalline phase remained steady. The results indicated that Fe3O4@Ag-MOF were a good candidate for adsorbing the DOX and treating wastewater.

Comparison of commercial analytical techniques for measuring chlorine dioxide in urban desalinated drinking water.

Most drinking water industries are closely examining options to maintain a certain level of disinfectant residual through the entire distribution system. Chlorine dioxide is one of the promising disinfectants that is usually used as a secondary disinfectant, whereas the selection of the proper monitoring analytical technique to ensure disinfection and regulatory compliance has been debated within the industry. This research endeavored to objectively compare the performance of commercially available analytical techniques used for chlorine dioxide measurements (namely, chronoamperometry, DPD (N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine), Lissamine Green B (LGB WET) and amperometric titration), to determine the superior technique. The commonly available commercial analytical techniques were evaluated over a wide range of chlorine dioxide concentrations. In reference to pre-defined criteria, the superior analytical technique was determined. To discern the effectiveness of such superior technique, various factors, such as sample temperature, high ionic strength, and other interferences that might influence the performance were examined. Among the four techniques, chronoamperometry technique indicates a significant level of accuracy and precision. Furthermore, the various influencing factors studied did not diminish the technique's performance where it was fairly adequate in all matrices. This study is a step towards proper disinfection monitoring and it confidently assists engineers with chlorine dioxide disinfection system planning and management.

Effective levofloxacin adsorption and removal from aqueous solution onto tea waste biochar; synthesis, characterization, adsorption studies, and optimization by Box-Behnken design and its antibacterial activity.

ABSTRACTResearch efforts are focusing on investigating cost-effective and ecologically friendly ways to create nanoparticles as a result of promising developments in green technology (NPs). This experiment focused on the effectiveness of using biochar (TWB) made from coffee waste to extract levofloxacin (LEV) from water. The conclusive results of the trials showed that TWB is an effective adsorbent for removing LEV from liquid solutions. The TWB produced through biological processes underwent comprehensive analysis using techniques such as X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area measurement (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The bioengineered TWB's exceptional crystalline properties, which closely resemble the monoclinic structure of bulk TWB, were confirmed by the XRD analysis. Based on the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) data, the synthesis of TWB Nanoparticles resulted in the formation of spherical particles with an approximate diameter of 40 nm, accompanied by a substantial surface area of 285.55 m²/g. The Pseudo-Second-Order model, which best captured Levofloxacin's adsorption characteristics, was evaluated on the TWB, and the results showed that external mass transfer was the main determinant of response rate. It was also found that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. The system was optimized using the Box-Behnken design (BBD) methodology. The achieved removal capacity of 1119.19 mg/g utilizing the tested adsorbent was determined to be reasonable when compared to the performance of other previously used adsorbents when evaluating the effectiveness of eliminating LEV. The process of LEV adsorption onto TWB involves a number of different mechanisms, such as ion exchange, π-π interactions, electrostatic pore filling, and hydrogen bonding. Following extensive testing in connection with a real-world sample, the adsorbent demonstrated remarkable efficacy, and it maintained good performance even after undergoing three further regeneration cycles. By adjusting the annealing temperature, we controlled the synthesis of TWB nanoparticles across a range of sizes in order to maximize their antibacterial capabilities. This research utilized a pair of Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and a pair of Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli) to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of TWB.

Superior adsorption and removal of industrial dye from aqueous solution via magnetic silver metal-organic framework nanocomposite.

The indirect emission had a negative influence on the ecosystem of enormous amounts of harmful dyes into water. Fe3O4@Ag-MOF was successfully fabricated to capture Gentine violet (GV)) as a model example of cationic dye from their aqueous solutions was evaluated in this search as a method to eliminate dyes from water contaminants. FTIR, XPS, BET, TGA, SEM, TEM, and XRD have all been used to study this adsorbent in order to determine its structural and chemical characteristics as well as to interpret its binding mechanisms. According to the results of the characterization, the synthesized composite had a size about 45 nm, a surface area of 856.06 m2/g, and considerable magnetic characteristics (66.2 emug-1). Consequently, we created mesoporous surfaces that had a strong ability to interface and absorb GV dye. It is possible to use the pseudo-second order rate equation to characterize the kinetic profile., while the Langmuir equation fits isotherm models. At pH 9, maximum sorption capacities can reach 1.68 mmol.g-1. Additionally, the investigations of temperature profiles indicated the endothermic process and Thermodynamic parameters were discovered as, ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS° The synthesized adsorbent had an interestingly high reusability of > 92 percent up to the sixth cycle. These findings revealed that a mixture of electrostatic interactions, π-π stacking, hydrogen bonds, and pore filling were involved in the GV adsorption mechanism. Fe3O4@Ag-MOF was successful in demonstrating its effectiveness as a point-of-use colour collection candidate from actual dyeing effluents.

Moreover, study the effect of time according to it the adsorption process was fitted to Pseudo-second-order, and the effect of temperature that approved that the reaction was endothermic, spontaneous, and chemisorption process. The MOR-NH2 nanocomposite was tested and proven to effectively inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli ATCC® 25922™ and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC® 25923™ at low concentrations. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to report the usage of MOR-NH2 adsorbents for the removal of E122 dye in wastewater samples. The mechanism of interaction between MOR-NH2 and E122 dye was determining as it could be through Hydrogen bonding, pore filling, or through π-π interaction. This research offers a promising solution for purifying water sources that are contaminated with a variety of chemicals, microorganisms, and other contaminants.

According to intramolecular hydrogen bond leads to increasing of the complexes stability. The molar conductivities show that all the complexes are non-electrolytes. The ESR spectra indicate that the free electron is in dxy orbital. The calculated bonding parameter indicates that in-plane σ-bonding is more covalent than in-plane π-bonding. The coordination geometry is five/six-coordinated trigonal bipyramidal for complex (1) and octahedral for complexes (2-6). The value of covalency factor ß1(2) and orbital reduction factor K accounts for the covalent nature of the complexes.

The stereochemistry and the nature of the complexes are markedly dependent upon the molar ratios of the reactants, the pH of the system and the nature of the anions involved. The ligands behave as bi-(0,0) and tetradentate (N2,O2) donors.

Polymer complexes. XXXX. Supramolecular assembly on coordination models of mixed-valence-ligand poly[1-acrylamido-2-(2-pyridyl)ethane] complexes.

The build-up of polymer metallic supramolecules based on homopolymer (1-acrylamido-2-(2-pyridyl)ethane (AEPH)) and ruthenium, rhodium, palladium as well as platinum complexes has been pursued with great interest. The homopolymer shows three types of coordination behaviour. In the mixed valence paramagnetic trinuclear polymer complexes [(11)+(12)] in the paper and in mononuclear polymer complexes (1)-(5) it acts as a neutral bidentate ligand coordinating through the N-pyridine and NH-imino atoms, while in the mixed ligand diamagnetic poly-chelates, which are obtained from the reaction of AEPH with PdX2 and KPtCl4 in the presence of N-heterocyclic base consisting of polymer complexes (9)+(10), and in monouclear compounds (6)-(8), it behaves as a monobasic bidentate ligand coordinating through the same donor atoms. In mononuclear compounds (13)+(14) it acts as a monobasic and neutral bidentate ligand coordinating only through the same donor atoms. Monomeric distorted octahedral or trimeric chlorine-bridged, approximately octahedral structures are proposed for these polymer complexes. The poly-chelates are of 1:1, 1:2 and 3:2 (metal-homopolymer) stoichiometry and exhibit six coordination. The values of ligand field parameters were calculated. The homopolymer and their polymer complexes have been characterized physicochemically.

Temperature and substituent effects on the dissociation constants of 5-azorhodanine derivatives. Semi-empirical quantum mechanical calculation.

Detailed analysis of the electronic structure and properties of some rhodanine derivatives (RDs) is presented. The aim of the present investigation is to pinpoint the electronic structural similarities and differences, among the series of the studied RDs that govern and determine their acidic, basic and co-ordinative properties. The geometries of the studied rhodanine were fully optimized at the level of AMI semi-empirical method. Relative stabilities of the enol/keto isomers have been calculated. Proton affinities and proton detachment energies were computed for the series of rhodanine studied, at the level of AM1 method and compared with the potentiometrically-determined proton-ligand dissociation constants. Zero-point energy and electron correlations have been taken into consideration. pK(H) have been found to increase with increasing electron-donating nature of the substituents. The resulting linear Hammett plots of pK(H) versus the Hammett constant sigma values indicate the co-planarity of the investigated molecules. The evaluated thermodynamic parameters (deltaG, deltaH and deltaS) indicate that the dissociation processes are non-spontaneous, endothermic and entropically unfavourable.

The B-values suggest a strong covalency in the metal-ligand sigma-bond and the Dq-values indicate a medium strong ligand field. 1H NMR spectra show that the tris (ligand) complex is cis isomer. IR spectra show that the ligand is mono-basic bidentate.
