The current investigation reports an effective adsorption of both anionic species and cationic dyes on Mg/Al hydrotalcite-like compounds (Mg/Al HTlc) synthetic from brine water, as novel, inexpensive available alternative to the commercial hydrotalcite. The feasibility of the Mg/Al HTlc, for the adsorptive removal of both anionic (Eosin Yellow-EY and Methyl Orange-MO) and cationic (Methylene blue-MB) dyes from aqueous solution was evaluated in a batch process. Dyes adsorption process was thoroughly studied from both kinetic and equilibrium points of view for all adsorbents. The adsorption kinetics was tested for the pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models at different experimental conditions. The dyes adsorption follows the pseudo-second order kinetics model, with correlation coefficients close to unity when experimental data were fitted in the model. The experimental isotherm data were analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The results from Langmuir isotherm indicated that the capacity of Mg/Al HTlc for the adsorption of anionic dyes was higher than that for cationic dyes.

A series of superabsorbent hydrogels were synthesized from partially neutralized acrylic acid with varying degree of neutralization (0-1) using gamma radiation. The effects of degree neutralization of acrylic acid on swelling ratio were studied. DSC measurement was performed to understand the type of end products resulting from irradiation. The morphologies of the hydrogels were examined using SEM. The chemical changes of the hydrogels were characterized using FTIR. At optimum conditions (10 kGy, 15 min), the hydrogels with neutralization degree 0.5 exhibited rapid swelling with the highest swelling ratio ~1000 g/g. The results of DSC studies confirmed the possible formation of the type hydrogels from irradiated partially neutralized acrylic acid, and the hydrogels showed large numbers of pores from SEM examination.

Partial oxidation of methane over mesoporous catalyst cobalt modified H-ZSM-5 has been carried out. Mesoporous Na-ZSM-5 (Si/Al = 35.4) was successfully synthesized using double template method which has high surface area (450 m2/g) and average pore diameter distribution of 1.9 nm. The as-synthesized Na-ZSM-5 was converted to H-ZSM-5 through multi-exchange treatment with ammonium ion solution, causing decreased crystallinity and surface area, but increased porous diameter, due to dealumination during treatment process. Moreover, H-ZSM-5 was loaded with cobalt (Co = 2.5% w) by the incipient impregnation method and calcined at 550 °C. Partial oxidation of methane was performed in the batch reactor with 0.75 bar methane and 2 bar of nitrogen (with impurities of 0.5% oxygen) as the input at various reaction time (30, 60 and 120 min). The reaction results show that cobalt species in catalyst has an important role, because H-ZSM-5 cannot produce methanol in partial oxidation of methane. The presence of molecular oxygen increased the percentage of methanol yield. The reaction is time-dependent with the highest methanol yield (79%) was acquired using Co/H-ZSM-5 catalyst for 60 min.

Sucrose sensor has been made by deposited the active materials on the surface of gold electrode. The active materials, i.e. polyaniline (PANI), invertase and gold nanoparticles, were deposited step by step. Aniline polymerization were conducted electrochemically at potential -500 to 1000 mV using voltammetry method with sweep rate 50 mV/s for 20 cycles in HCl solution pH 1.5. The modified electrode obtained was immersed in invertase 1 M phosphate buffer solution pH 6. The invertase trapping in polyaniline was performed using the same condition as aniline polymerization. Then, gold nanoparticles were deposited on the polyaniline-invertase modified gold electrode using Layer by Layer (LbL) technique. The polyaniline-invertase-gold nanoparticles modified gold electrode obtained was used to measure sucrose solution. Electrochemical signal of polyaniline (PANI)-invertase-gold nanoparticles modified gold electrode is increase with sucrose concentration. The sensitivity and detection limit of the electrode are 0.4657 µA mm-2 mM-1 and 9 µM, respectively. No electrochemical interference signals from fructose and glucose have been observed in the sucrose measurement.

Zeolite-Y templated carbon (ZTC) has been activated with K2CO3 and ZnCl2. This research aims to compare the characteristics of ZTC with K2CO3 and ZnCl2 activation. ZTC was synthesized via impregnation method followed by carbonization. In this research, activation process was conducted at variation of activator/carbon weight ratio of 1 and 1.50. The activation was carried out by heating up impregnated carbon at 800 °C for 1 h followed by washing to remove inorganic salt. XRD and SEM results indicate that the use of different activator produce ZTC with varied structure and morphology. Diffractogram results showed that the graphitic peak decreased due to K2CO3 activation, whereas graphitic peak increased owing to ZnCl2 activation. Decreasing the graphitic peak indicates that ZTCs have higher pore structure formation. In addition, surface formation of ZTC activated by K2CO3 was higher than by ZnCl2 activation. The higher pore structure formation means the amount of carbon deposited on external surface material was decreased.

Eugenol is a compound with a variety of reactive functional groups such as allyl, hydroxy and methoxy. The presence of the functional groups brings eugenol possible to undertake the transformation into various derivative compounds with diverse activities. One of the simple and possible transformations is methylation or alkylation. Commonly, methyl halides and dimethyl sulphate are used as methylation agent. However, those kinds of methylation agents are toxic and carcinogenic. In this research dimethyl carbonate, an alternative methylation agent is used, because of its low toxicity, green, and economic. The synthesis has been carried out by using a catalyst. Bentonite was activated by heating to a temperature using 300 °C. Methylation was shown by the formation of a light yellow liquid (25.71% yield). The structures of products were characterized by GC-MS and obtained a compound, namely bis eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenoxy) methane (2.37% yield).

Montmorillonite was functionalized by (3-glycidyloxypropyl) trimethoxy silane (GPTMS). Subsequently, chitosan (CS) membranes filled by GPTMS-modified montmorillonite particles were prepared and characterized by FTIR. The result of FTIR obtained the peak wavenumber of 2940, 1471 and 1390 cm-1 referring to vibration stretching of CH2, bending of CH2 and CH3 form epoxy groups in silane, respectively which indicated modification of montmorillonite by silane. Compared with the pure CS and CS/PWA-MMT membrane, these CS/PWA-MMT/Silane hybrid membranes show apparently high proton conductivity and the lower methanol permeability, which could be assigned to the better interfacial morphology and compatibility between chitosan matrix and GPTMS-modified montmorillonite. In all the prepared CS/PWA-MMT/Silane hybrid membranes, the CS membrane filled by 10% GPTMS-modified montmorillonite particles exhibits the highest proton conductivity and the lowest methanol permeability, which is 19.15 x 10-3 S.cm-1 at 80 °C and 4.33 x 10-8 cm2.s-1, respectively. The results imply that CS/PWA-MMT silane 10% membrane has better interaction of interfacial morphology and compatibility between chitosan matrix and GPTMS-modified montmorillonite particles.

Fe-Ionic Imprinted Polymer (IIP) from polyeugenol as base polymer and polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDE) as cross-linking agent had been synthesized to adsorb Fe(III) from aqueous media. The non-imprinting material (NIP) and polyeugenol were used in the adsorption study as control. Synthesis work included polymerization, template uploading, crosslinking and template removal, optimized for different template ion upload pH and concentrations. The polymers were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, XRD and SEM-EDX, followed by adsorption test to study the adsorption kinetics and isotherms for all adsorbents. Selective adsorption study of IIP was carried out using binary mixtures of Fe(III) and Cr(III), Pb(II), Cd(II). Experimental results showed that the optimum conditions for the synthesis was template upload pH of 3, Fe/polyeugenol ratio of 1 mg/g, while the optimum adsorption pH was 3. The adsorption mechanism of Fe(III) on all adsorbents was dominated by hydrogen bond formation. The adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order model while the equilibrium data was best explained by the Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption capacity of Fe(III) on the IIP was 12.73 mg/g, higher than that of the other adsorbents. Results also show that IIP-Fe was more selective toward Fe than NIP by 2.69 (Cd), 1.66 (Cr) and 1.6 (Pb) fold, respectively.

A modified pectin has been synthesized by reacting/combining -OH group among pectin and chitosan with BADGE (Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether) crosslinker agent. The structure and morphology of the new material were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. Thermogravimetric studies showed an improvement in thermal characteristic. Adsorption experiments were performed in batch processes; sorption isotherms and kinetics were also studied. The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models were applied to describe the isotherms and isotherm constants for the adsorption of Pb(II) ion onto adsorbent pectin-carboxymethyl chitosan-BADGE (pec-CMC-BADGE). The dynamic study showed that the sorption process followed the second-order kinetic equation. Result indicated also that Pb(II) ion uptake could be well described by the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption model of pec-CMC-BADGE and CMC with DG° of 25.3 and 23.1 kJ mol-1,respectively, while that of pectin followed Freundlich isotherm with DG° of 16.6 kJ mol-1.

Enhanced X-ray absorption property of single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) through gold (Au) doping (Au@SWCNT) has been studied. Mass attenuation coefficient of SWCNT increased 5.2-fold after Au doping treatment. The use of ethanol in the liquid phase adsorption could produce Au nanoparticles as confirmed by the X-ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns. The possibility of gold nanoparticles encapsulated in the internal tube space of SWCNT was observed by transmission electron microscope technique. A significant decrease of nitrogen uptakes and upshifts of Radial Breathing Mode (RBM) of Au@SWCNT specimen suggest that the nanoparticles might be encapsulated in the internal tube spaces of the nanotube. In addition, a decrease intensity of XRD pattern of Au@SWCNT at around 2θ ≈ 2.6° supports the suggestion that Au nanoparticles are really encapsulated into SWCNT.
