Abstract

Iron(III)-doped SiO2/TiO2 composite (SiO2/TiO2-Fe) has been prepared from sugarcane bagasse ash for photocatalytic degradation of Congo Red. This research was initiated by preparing SiO2 from sugarcane bagasse ash through a sol-gel method. The SiO2/TiO2-Fe was obtained by mixing SiO2 gel with TiO2-Fe sol which was produced with titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) as precursor and FeCl3·H2O as the dopant source. Dopant concentration was varied by 0, 1, 3, 5, 7% (w/w). The prepared materials were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SR-UV, XRF, SAA, and SEM-EDX. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated for Congo Red degradation in a closed reactor under visible light illumination. The degradation yield was determined by the UV-Visible spectrophotometry method. Results showed that SiO2 was successfully extracted from bagasse ash with a silica content of 90.87%. The SiO2/TiO2-Fe composite was successfully prepared with the bandgap energy value (Eg) decreasing as the dopant concentration increased. The optimum Eg of 2.63 eV was obtained at the concentration of Fe was 5%. Under that condition, the SiO2/TiO2-Fe photocatalyst degraded Congo Red solution by 98.18 % under visible light at pH 3 with a mass of 30 mg for 90 min. The SiO2/TiO2-Fe composite is expected to be a photocatalyst material candidate for dye wastewater treatment.

Abstract

: Jackfruit is a fruit tree species distributed mainly in Southeast Asia and Brazil. The pulp and skin of jackfruit are widely used in various fields such as food, medicine, and interior decoration. However, the jackfruit processing into edible and usable products generates a large quantity of agricultural waste. In this review, we focused on summarizing the environmental applications of jackfruit waste in wastewater treatment. Specifically, the potential and application of activated carbon synthesized from jackfruit waste were assessed concerning the adsorption of organic dyes and metals from wastewater. In practical water treatment applications, the adsorption kinetic and isothermal models have been evaluated for activated carbon's suitability and adsorption capacity. This study acts as the basis for further development of the by-product materials to environmental treatment application and to reduce the negative impact of agricultural by-products on the environment.

Abstract

The present work describes the synthesis of a variety of organotellurium compounds. The first part describes the synthesis of a new series of organotellurium compounds containing azomethine groups. Reaction of (E)-(4-((1,7,7-trimethyl bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ylidene)amino)phenyl)mercury(II)chloride and (E)-(5-methyl-2-((1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ylidene)amino)phenyl) mercury(II)chloride with tellurium tetrabromide in 2:1 mole ratio yielded the tellurated Schiff bases Ar2TeBr2 (where Ar = 1-(C9H16C=N)C=N)C6H4 and 1-(C9H16C=N)C=N)-4-CH3C6H3) respectively. Reduction of organyl tellurium dibromide Ar2TeBr2 by hydrazine hydrate obtained the corresponding tellurides (i.e., Ar2Te) in good yields. Characterization of the prepared compounds was carried out using infrared spectrum (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum (1H-NMR), and elemental analysis (CHN). The molecular structure of the organotellurium compounds was investigated using the density functional theory with hybrid functional (B3LYP), and the basis set 6-31G Geometrical structure, HOMO surfaces, LUMO surfaces, and energy gap have been produced throughout the geometry optimization. The molecular geometry and contours for the organotellurium compounds were investigated throughout the geometrical optimization. The donor and acceptor properties have been studied by comparing organotellurium compounds' highest occupied molecular orbital energies (HOMO). The present study aims to prepare organotellurium compounds derived from aniline, p-toluidine, and camphor and their derivatives using tellurated Schiff bases.

Abstract

Corrosion is an enormous challenge in all sectors of the economy, especially to those working with metals. The research on the adsorption and inhibition analysis of aconitine alkaloid (ACA) and tubocurarine alkaloid (TBA) as eco-friendly inhibitors of pitting corrosion in ASTM – A47 low carbon steel in HCl acid was carried out under the following experimental methods: gravimetric method, gasometric method, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization, and scanning electron microscopy. Results revealed good inhibitors as inhibition efficiencies were recorded at 98.8% and 91.2% at a maximum inhibitor concentration of 1500 ppm for tubocurarine and aconitine alkaloids, respectively. The inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increasing inhibitor concentrations indicating a strong binding between inhibitor molecules and ASTM – A47 low carbon steel in HCl acid. Electrochemical data strongly supported the efficacy of both inhibitors as earlier presented by the chemical methods as a trend in values of charge transfer resistance, double layer capacitance, corrosion potential, and corrosion current density were in accordance with standards for a good inhibitor. The inhibitors were seen to be spontaneous, stabled, endothermic and physically adsorbed. Adsorption of the inhibitors on metal surface obeyed Langmuir, El-Awady, Freundlich, and Temkin adsorption isotherm as regression values were approximately unity.

Abstract

Kaempferia galanga is a tropical plant with an impressive range of food and medicinal uses. This study, therefore, investigated the variation in yields, physicochemical properties, chemical compositions, and antioxidant activities of rhizome oils from two K. galanga varieties, K. galanga bigger rhizomes (V1) and K. galanga smaller rhizomes (V2), isolated by steam distillation (S) and maceration (M) techniques. The air-dried rhizomes' oil contents were found to be 2.81±0.09% (SV1O), 7.93±0.20% (MV1O), 3.60±0.10% (SV2O), and 8.76±0.22% (MV2O), respectively. From the GC-MS analysis, the SV1O, MV1O, SV2O, and MV2O samples contain 49, 48, 61, and 56 compounds, respectively. Furthermore, ethyl trans-p-methoxycinnamate was the most prevalent chemical constituent in four oils with a percentage contribution of 43.37% (SV1O), 60.62% (MV1O), 24.92% (SV2O), and 57.17% (MV2O). Several long-chain alcohols (6Z,9Z-pentadeca-6,9-dien-1-ol, 9E,12E-octadeca-9,12-dien-1-ol, heptadecan-1-ol), aldehyde (Z-octadec-9-enal), carboxylic acids (4-(4-methoxyphenyl)oxane-4-carboxylic acid, hexadecanoic acid), diterpene sandaracopimaradiene, steroid ergosterol, and alkaloid 2-imino-3-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one, were also identified in K. galanga rhizome oils isolated by maceration method. In addition, all oils showed high antioxidant activities with the IC50 values of 86.10±1.51, 85.24±1.48, 89.19±1.72, and 86.49±2.03 μg/mL for SV1O, MV1O, SV2O, and MV2O, respectively.

Abstract

The curing kinetics of the epoxy resin crosslinked by an anhydride hardener with and without plant fibers was investigated. The epoxy composites containing modified pineapple leaf fiber (EASF), banana fiber (EBSF), and bamboo chopsticks fibers (ECSF) were analyzed by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique. Dynamic methods were used to predict the total heat of reaction of the epoxy resin and its activation energy based on the methods of Kissinger and Ozawa. The results showed that, at a low heating rate (5 °C/min), the ΔH of the pure epoxy, EASF, EBSF, and ECSF were 326.2, 307.6, 295.6, and 366.6 J/g, respectively. The curing rate increased, and the activation energy was decreased due to the catalytic role of hydroxyl groups of plant fibers. Based on Kissinger and Ozawa methods, the calculation of activation energy for pure epoxy was 70.08 kJ/mol and 73.21 kJ/mol, EBSF was 68.07 kJ/mol and 71.41 kJ/mol, ECSF was 60.11 kJ/mol and 63.87 kJ/mol, and EASF was 58.71 kJ/mol and 62.49 kJ/mol. The activation energy for the three kinds of epoxy composite modified fibers was less than pure epoxy resin due to the gel effect resulting from the higher viscosity, faster curing rate, and steric hindrance.

Abstract

Rice husk biochar (BC) loaded NiAl layered double hydroxide (LDH) has been synthesized to form NiAl LDH/BC composite through a co-precipitation method. NiAl LDH/BC has been used as an adsorbent to remove malachite green from water efficiently. The specific surface area analysis revealed that the surface area of NiAl LDH/BC composite increased five times, from 92.6 to 438.9 m2/g, compared to the original NiAl LDH. The adsorption studies revealed that NiAl LDH/BC composite followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic adsorption model while the isotherm followed the Langmuir monolayer adsorption model. The maximum adsorption capacity of NiAl LDH/BC composite prepared with a ratio of 1:1 and 1:0.5 achieved 185.1 mg/g and 142.9 mg/g, respectively, which is twice higher than the pristine ones (NiAl LDH). The thermodynamic parameters, determined at 303, 313, 323, and 333 K, revealed that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. The NiAl LDH/BC composite was tested for three consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles to investigate its reusability performance. It is found that their adsorption performance slightly decreased to 71.8% and 68.3% for NiAl LDH/BC composite 1:0.5 and 1:1, respectively. Therefore, it could be considered that the synthesized NiAl LDH/BC exhibited a good and efficient adsorbent for malachite greed removal.

Abstract

This research aims to formulate a disinfectant from citrus waste-infused used cooking oil through the conventional process and evaluate its effectiveness in microbial elimination. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) were utilized to characterize citrus waste-infused used cooking oil. Two prominent bands belonging to the alkane (2921.93–2922.26 cm–1) and ester (1743.60–1743.73 cm–1) were observed on all FTIR spectra. Aside from that, through GC-MS analysis, dried orange-infused used cooking oil was discovered to have the highest percentage content of major antimicrobial compounds such as esters, oxygenated monoterpenoids, triterpenes, and alkaloids with 1.92% of the total amount of compounds found in the sample. However, the agar plate method revealed that the fresh lemon waste-infused used cooking oil disinfectant formulation was the most effective at inhibiting bacterial growth as the colony-forming detected on the agar plates dropped from 20 colonies to nearly zero and from 49 to 3 colonies for the plate swabbed with microbes from the table and doorknob surfaces, respectively. Based on the findings, the citrus waste and used cooking oil were viewed to have the potential as one of the possible ingredients in creating safer disinfectants in the future.

Abstract

Moringa oleifera leaves contain secondary metabolites in flavonoid compounds known to prevent several diseases. Therefore, appropriate extraction methods are required to produce extracts with a high yield of flavonoids from Moringa. In this study, the extraction from Moringa leaves was carried out using the sequential microwave/ultrasound-assisted extraction (MUAE) method compared with sequential ultrasound/microwave (UMAE), microwave (MAE), ultrasound (UAE), and maceration (ME). The effects of the time, temperature, and percentage of ethanol were studied on total flavonoid content using AlCl3 colorimetric assay. The extracts were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transforms Infrared Spectrophotometry (FTIR), and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The antioxidant and antibacterial activities were tested using DPPH-scavenging and disc diffusion methods. The results of SEM surface analysis on various extraction methods show differences on each surface. The FTIR spectrum showed the presence of flavonoid O–H at 3200 cm–1, C=O at 1621 cm–1, and C–O at 1019 cm–1. In the results of HPLC, MUAE extracts 16.70 mg/ 100 g flavonoid quercetin at the retention time of 4.5 min, with the highest total flavonoids (2.89 mg QE/g), the highest antioxidant activity (IC50 72.31 µg/mL), and highest antibacterial activity (S. aureus 7 mm, E. coli 2 mm).

Abstract

A fabrication of eco-friendly and low-cost adsorbent materials is reported for CO2 removal. Alginate nanofibers (NFs) adsorbents were prepared by incorporating poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) into alginate solutions via electrospinning technique from alginate biopolymers. Smooth-surfaced Alg/PVA NFs were obtained with a specific surface area of 9.197 m2 g–1. Zeolite (Z) was impregnated into polymer solutions to enhance the properties and performances of alginate nanofibers. Alg/PVA/Z NFs appeared to be rougher with a specific surface area of 25.998 m2 g–1. Both adsorbents offered great potential for CO2 adsorbent in the future. The adsorption isotherms of Alg/PVA NFs followed the Langmuir model with optimum CO2 adsorption capacity of 3.286 mmol g–1 and  Alg/PVA/Z NFs followed Dubinin-Radushkevich model with optimum CO2 adsorption capacity of 10.710 mmol g–1.
