Abstract

Due to its toxicity, 4-chlorophenol (4CP) must be removed from the wastewater before discharging into open water. In this work, ZnO and Ag-ZnO photocatalysts were prepared via a solvothermal method under mild conditions (150 °C), followed by calcination at 300 °C and then characterized. The addition of Ag resulted in a change of the ZnO morphologies, which exhibited wurtzite structure, from irregular to rod-like shape, lower bandgap energy, and a lower electron-hole recombination rate. The 0.6 Ag-ZnO catalyst showed the highest efficiency in the photooxidation of 4CP under UV irradiation. Molecular 4CP exists in acidic and near-neutral conditions (pH 4 and 6) and is stable towards UV irradiation. Photooxidation of 2.3 × 10–4 mol/L 4CP by 0.8 g of 0.6% Ag-ZnO resulted in 67% removal of molecular 4CP at pH 6 with a rate constant of 4.0 × 10–3 min–1. Under similar conditions, a complete photooxidation of the anionic 4CP was observed at pH 11 with a rate constant of 1.4 × 10–2 min–1. The holes and superoxide radicals are the species responsible for molecular 4CP photoooxidation, while hydroxyl radicals are the dominant species for anionic 4CP. The prepared Ag/ZnO photocatalyst exhibit good potential to efficiently oxidize 4CP in both acidic and alkaline conditions.

Abstract

The effect of gamma-irradiation on bacterial cellulose (BC) was investigated in terms of improving its properties as scaffolds for tissue engineering. BC pellicles were exposed to 25, 50, and 75 kGy gamma-ray irradiation, and X-ray diffraction analyses showed that the crystallinity of the BC decreased as stronger irradiation accelerated BC’s degradation. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of the irradiated BC revealed the appearance of a new peak at 1724 cm–1, indicating the formation of a new carbonyl group due to the cleavage of glycosidic linkages of the BC. Rat bone marrow stromal cells seeded on the gamma-irradiated BC incubated in an osteogenic medium for 14 days produced calcium, a late marker for osteogenic differentiation, as shown by Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining. Gamma-irradiated BC with higher irradiation doses showed intense ARS staining indicating higher calcium deposition. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of using gamma-irradiated BC as a cytocompatible 3D scaffold for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract

In this work, the effect of chitosan and CaCO3 coating on polyurethane (PU) foam on the mechanical and thermal properties was studied. PU-foams were soaked in a mixture of chitosan- calcium carbonate solution at different concentrations, i.e., 0.1–0.4%. The molecular behaviors due to the incorporation of chitosan/CaCO3 into the PU-foam matrix were investigated by Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) was utilized to study the effect of chitosan/CaCO3 coat on the pore structure of PU-foam. FTIR spectra show changes in the peak of 1446 and 1413 cm–1, which serve as evidence of molecular interaction between PU and chitosan/CaCO3. FE-SEM images show that the addition of chitosan/calcium carbonate cells was starting to close together, probably due to the increased dispersion of calcium carbonate on the entire surface of PU-foams/chitosan, which indicates that reducing the size of the cell will increase mechanical properties. From this study, it was found that PU-foam soaked in 0.4% CaCO3 had the highest tensile strength. Coating PU-foam with 0.4% CaCO3 also improved its thermal stability, indicated by an increase in its residual mass compared to neat PU-foam.

Abstract

Bifunctional catalysts are often used in multiple reactions to synthesize certain products. The catalytic activity of bifunctional catalysts is influenced by parameters such as crystallinity, specific surface area, metal distribution, and morphology. Bifunctional catalysts are manufactured by adding metal to the support. The metal loading to the support often affects these parameters. Therefore, this research was conducted to determine the effect of CuO, MgO, and ZrO2 addition to HZSM5 on these parameters. The often-used loading method was deposition precipitation. The pH of the metal-support precursors' solution was increased to basic (pH of 8) to deposit the metal on the support. The loading effect was investigated by producing the following materials: CuO/HZSM5, CuO/ZrO2/HZSM5, CuO/MgO/HZSM5, and CuO/MgO/ZrO2/HZSM5. Each material was characterized using XRD, SAA, SEM, Mapping, EDS, and XRF. The results showed that all metal oxides could be embedded in the HZSM5. The loading of CuO, MgO, and ZrO2 to HZSM5 did not affect the crystallinity (structure) and morphology, increased the specific surface area, and was evenly distributed inside the pore of HZSM5. Further research is needed to determine the effect of crystallinity, specific surface area, and morphology on other metals and support types.

Abstract

In this work, tartrate-capped silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by reducing Ag+ ions into Ag0 using L-ascorbic acid and capping disodium tartrate have been prepared. The reaction was carried out at room temperature in an alkaline medium of pH 11 to obtain a rapid and one-step green synthesis method. The effect of L-ascorbic acid concentration on the synthesis preparation was studied to investigate their impact on the particle size, morphology, and stability of the AgNPs. The obtained tartrate capped AgNPs have SPR absorbance in 390–410 nm. They have a spherical shape, as confirmed by TEM. Increasing L-ascorbic acid concentrations from 25 mM to 100 and 200 mM leads to the 27, 17, and 11 nm particle size distributions. They give the zeta potential of –33.5, –20.8, and –21.3, respectively. After a week, the decreasing absorbance peaks were 0.151, 0.0105, and 0.336 a.u. The optimum L-ascorbic acid concentration was obtained at 100 mM, indicated by the smallest FWHM point. Thus, we may conclude that lower or higher levels of reducing agents resulted in low stability. Therefore, controlling L-ascorbic acid concentration is an important parameter. A sufficient concentration and an appropriate capping agent can produce good nanoparticle stability essential for further application.

Abstract

Meat produced from non-halal slaughter is forbidden for Moslems. The slaughter methods contribute to the physiological response of animals expressed as different proteome profile. Proteome of two meat obtained from the halal and non-halal slaughter of Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) as an animal model was used to search for protein markers related to the slaughter method. The analysis employed Sodium Dodecyl Sulhate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and High-Resolution Mass Spectrometer (HRMS) assisted with Label-Free Quantification (LFQ) Proteome Discoverer software. The non-halal slaughter contributed to the changes in protein expression in animal meat where thirteen proteins were up-regulated and three proteins were specifically identified in the non-halal slaughter, these three proteins are NSFL1 cofactor p47, transketolase, and Von Willebrand. There are three stable peptides identified of those three proteins, SYQDPSNAQFLESIR (m/z = 1755, z = +1) part of NSFL1 cofactor p47, LGQSDPAPLQHQVDVYQK (m/z = 2023, z = +1) part of transketolase, VPLLCTNGSVVHHEVINAMQCR (m/z = 2550, z = +1) part of Von Willebrand. Two of peptides can be targeted as markers in MRM mode LC-MS/MS routine analysis to authentication-halal slaughtering meat. The proposed MRM pair ions are 1755 to 1376, 1262, 1164, and 963, 2033 to 1355, 1016, and 762.

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has no immediate ending in sight, and any significant increasing cases were observed worldwide. Currently, there are only two main strategies for developing COVID-19 drugs that predominantly use a proteomics-based approach, which are drug repurposing and herbal medicine strategies. However, a third strategy has existed, called small interfering RNA or siRNA, which is based on the transcriptomics approach. In the case of SARS-CoV-2 infection, it is expected to perform by silencing the viral gene, which brings the surface glycoprotein (S) gene responsible for SARS-CoV-2 viral attachment to the ACE2 receptor on the human host cell. This third approach applies a molecular simulation method comprising data retrieval, multiple sequence alignment, phylogenetic tree depiction, 2D/3D structure prediction, and RNA-RNA molecular docking. The expected results are the prediction of 2D and 3D structures of both siRNA and mRNA silenced S genes along with a complex as the result of a docking method formed by those silenced genes. An Insilco chemical interaction study was performed in testing siRNA and mRNA complex’s stability with the confirmation result of a stable complex which is expected to be formed before mRNA reaches the ribosome for the translation process. Thus, siRNA from the S gene could be considered a candidate for the COVID-19 therapeutic agent.

Abstract

The preparation of 4-methylbenzenesulfonyl imidazole by using triethylamine as an effective phase‐transfer catalyst (PTC) under mild biphasic conditions has been studied intensively. The method can be used for large-scale preparation with high purity and high yield of 4-methylbenzene-sulfonyl imidazole. The result in 4-methylbenzenesulfonyl imidazole has been successfully applied for the regioselective synthesis of mono-6-(4-methylbenzenesulfonyl)-β-cyclodextrin in an aqueous medium. This synthetic methodology concept, together with the synthetic versatility of PTC, provides a general and reliable general strategy for the practical and industrial regioselective synthesis of highly valuable mono-6-(4-methylbenzenesulfonyl)-β-cyclodextrin as a key intermediate for the single functional isomer mono-substituted cyclodextrin derivatives. As characterized by FTIR, NMR and mass spectrometry, mono-6-(4-methylbenzenesulfonyl)-β-cyclodextrin was obtained in high purity.

Abstract

Three arms Schiff base unit based on melamine moiety was synthesized and introduced to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to produce a modified PVC polymer. The polymer composite of new modified PVC polymer was blended with micro copper oxide as a reflecting mirror of UV light to enhance the photostability of PVC. Three different concentrations of micro copper oxide (0.01–0.03 wt.%) were mixed with the modified PVC and cast as a thin film. The photostability test has shown high resistance to photodegradation upon exposure to UV light. In this work, different approaches were applied to examining doped modified PVC's thin film efficiency against photodegradation after exposure to UV light for 300 h in an ambient atmosphere. The exhibited studies, such as infrared spectroscopy and weight loss percentage, have demonstrated the improvement of photophysical properties for modified PVC and blended modified films in comparison to blank PVC polymeric films. These outcomes are so interesting as they could contribute to reducing the consumption of PVC around the world hence its waste causing huge environmental problems for the marine ecosystem.

Abstract

Carbon/Alginate/Chitosan Composite (CAC) as a sorbent for solid-phase extraction of Cu(II) (pre-concentration) with atomic absorption spectrometry for analysis was successfully prepared. The sorbent was made with a mass ratio of chitosan:alginate:carbon = 1:1:1. CAC sorbents were characterized using FTIR for functional group analysis while SEM-EDX characterization was performed to determine surface morphology and percentage of elements. SPE parameters were optimized for adsorption-desorption efficiency under various conditions, i.e. of pH 5, Cu(II) concentration of 4 mg/L, the flow rate of Cu(II), and Na2EDTA eluent at 5 mL/min, the volume of Cu(II) sample and Na2EDTA eluent 25 mL and 1.0 M of Na2EDTA eluent concentration. Applying CAC-based SPE for Cu(II) analysis in water samples at optimum conditions gave 80.9–83.6% recovery. In bottled drinking water samples, a pre-concentration factor of 2.5–5 times was obtained, and the Cu(II) concentration of 0.017–0.020 mg/L was detected.
