Abstract

This study uses electrocoagulation to investigate reducing heavy metal content in wastewater from discharging spent batteries. ICP-OES analysis shows that heavy metals exceed the environmental water standard. The electrocoagulation procedure was conducted within a reactor with a 500 mL volume and a rectifier with a 5 A current capacity. Three types of electrode material combinations were used: iron (Fe) and aluminium (Al) as well as Fe-Fe, Al-Al, and Fe-Al pairs with 1 cm in the distance by parallel monopolar cells. Alternating current was used with 30, 40, and 50 A/m2 current density. The best result shown in the Fe-Al electrode pair combination system at 40 A/m2 for 30 min contact time and removal efficiencies for Co, Cd, Ni, Zn, and As is 98.76, 90.73, 99.32, 97.93, and 97.78%, respectively, while for Hg it is 31.84%, even though only Cd is above the standard limit. The heavy metal bearing was confirmed using SEM-EDS in the floc and the precipitate residue. The dissolved electrode materials and electrical energy consumed are 0.32 g and 0.109 kWh/m3, respectively. This method can be a good alternative for treating wastewater compared to direct current electrocoagulation, where the electrode and energy will be less consumed.

Abstract

In recent years, green synthesized nanomaterials have garnered wide interest due to its inherent features like rapidity, cost-effectiveness, and environmentally friendly technique. The green synthesis of Zinc oxide nanostructures (n-ZnO) using two kinds of plant extract, lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and meniran (Phyllanthus niruri), were discussed and their antibacterial activities were compared. Characterization by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and field emission-scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (FE-SEM/EDS) were used to confirm the successful formation of n-ZnO using both plant extracts. The antibacterial activity of the n-ZnO synthesized from two different plant extracts was tested against Klebsiella pneumoniae and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The results show that both n-ZnO has antibacterial activity against MRSA. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values for n-ZnO synthesized from meniran extract were 78 and 156 mg/mL, respectively, while MIC and MBC values for n-ZnO synthesized from lavender extract were 156 and 312 mg/mL, respectively. These results confirm that the n-ZnO prepared from meniran extract is more effective in inhibiting MRSA than the n-ZnO prepared from lavender extract. This study proves that plant-based n-ZnO has anti-microbial activities and may serve as antimicrobial therapeutics.

Abstract

The recycling of spent lithium NMC-type batteries, widely used in electric vehicles, presents a challenge due to manganese content, which complicates metal separation and purification. This study explored a selective leaching process using ammonia to recover metals from high-manganese-content LMR-NMC cathodes. By adjusting the (NH4)2SO4 reagent concentration to 1–2 M and maintaining the temperature between 50–80 °C, the recovery rates of lithium, nickel and cobalt metals were enhanced, leaving manganese primarily as residue in the form of Mn(OH)₂ and (NH4)2Mn(SO4)2. A kinetics model, integrating an equilibrium-shrinking core model with a modified temperature-dependent Arrhenius approach, accurately simulates the metal recovery. The activation energies of the forward leaching reactions of Li, Ni, and Co were respectively (1.4331±0.0036)×105, (1.5494±0.0034)×105, and (1.5743±0.0040)×105 J/mol, while those for the backward reactions were (5.3307±0.0041)×105, (2.4753±0.0093)×105, and (1.6289±0.0092)×105 J/mol, respectively. The leaching mechanism was found to be exothermic, which allows maximum recovery at low temperatures. The findings highlight ammonia’s effectiveness as a selective leachant, significantly reducing manganese in the leaching solution, and streamlining nickel and cobalt separation, thus enhancing the recycling process’s efficiency and sustainability.

Abstract

MIL-100(Fe) was prepared and subsequently used to remove crystal violet dye from aqueous solutions simulating dye-containing wastewater in the environment. In the future, it is aimed that MIL-100(Fe) can be used in managing dye-containing wastewater in the environment and reducing the negative impacts it can cause. Here, MIL-100(Fe) fabrication needs to be optimized to obtain optimum process conditions, which are environmentally friendly and can produce MIL-100(Fe) with the best characteristics. This study focused on optimizing the fabrication of MIL-100(Fe), which is a type of MOF with good chemical stability, thermal stability, and flexible structure. In this study, the room-temperature fabrication of MIL-100(Fe) was established using a ligand-to-metal molar ratio of 0.95 and an acetic acid concentration of 5.1 vol% for 6.2 h. The optimum MIL-100(Fe) was tested for crystal violet removal and provided an optimum removal capacity of 182.66 ± 3.81 mg/g. Statistical approaches are used to investigate the independent parameters and their interactions contributing to MIL-100(Fe) formation.

Abstract

The Cirasea River can provide water for both the Bandung basin and agricultural irrigation. Intensive agriculture, industry, and land use changes could have an impact on water quality. The purpose of this study is to look at the origins of heavy metals in riparian water resources. Heavy metal analysis was performed on 13 groundwater and river water samples. Heavy metals in water sources were compared with sediment and soil. The samples were analyzed for heavy metals using an AAS instrument. The research method employs statistical, geographical, and heavy metal pollution index (HPI). The HPI for river water was 131, whereas groundwater was 93. River water with an HPI value of more than 100 is highly polluted, indicating that it is unsafe for human consumption and has negative health consequences. Data verification with heavy metals in sediments reveals the presence of heavy metals coming from geogenic circumstances in various locations in the upstream area. Heavy metals in downstream areas result from geological factors and anthropogenic activities in the surrounding area. The long-term effects of heavy metal pollution along the riparian zone will become apparent. More research is needed on communities that depend on groundwater supplies along the Cirasea watershed.

Abstract

Various test methods have been previously documented for determining vitamin A levels in different dosage forms. This study specifically examines an isocratic reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method designed for the direct extraction of vitamin A. The objective is to validate an analytical method for quantifying vitamin A in bioadhesive cationic nanoemulsions incorporated into thermosensitive gels. The method employs isocratic RP-HPLC with a YMC-Triart C18 column (L1), dimensions of 4.6 mm × 250 nm, particle size of S-5 µm, and a UV detector at λ = 265 nm. The mobile phase consists of HPLC-grade methanol, acetonitrile, and n-hexane in a ratio of 46.5:46.5:7. Validation parameters were assessed including selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of quantification (LOQ), and limit of detection (LOD). Correlation coefficients were determined with an R2 value of 0.9995 in the concentration range of 264–396 μg/mL (w/v). Recovery percentages ranged from 99.295% to 99.878%. Repeatability and intermediate precision relative standard deviations (RSD) were found to be 0.318% and 0.254%, respectively. The LOD was established at 2.018 μg/mL, and the LOQ was determined to be 6.114 μg/mL. The results affirm cost-effective and well-suited for the accurate measurement of vitamin A levels in bioadhesive thermosensitive gel formulations.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the potential of natural compounds in tomatoes for diabetic complications intervention using amino acid profile, HP-TLC, antioxidant assay, enzymatic inhibitor assay, and in silico approach. Fresh air-dried tomatoes were analyzed for several screening assays including amino acid determination, HP-TLC, antioxidant activity using FRAP, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition. Virtual screening, molecular docking and molecular dynamics were performed using Molinspiration, pKcSM, AutoDock Vina, Discovery Studio, PyMOL, and Yasara software. Tomato bioactive compounds showed promising drug-likeness, antioxidant and α-amylase/glucosidase inhibitory activities, and potential for AGE-RAGE interaction. Out of 19 compounds from whole tomatoes complying with Lipinski’s rule of five, genistein, apigenin, and naringenin exhibited high oral absorption potential. Tomato contains genistein compound based on HP-TLC and the compound has high antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. Genistein has a stronger binding affinity with RAGE compared to AGE, indicating its potential as a competitive inhibitor. Additionally, genistein displayed stable ligand movements and higher binding energy values in MD simulations compared to the control. These findings suggest the potential of tomato bioactive compounds for further development as antidiabetic agents targeting AGE-RAGE interaction. In conclusion, genistein in tomatoes is indicated as a candidate for anti-complications of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Motivated by the recent discovery of the Rashba effect in two-dimensional (2D) Janus Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) systems, we explore the Rashba effect on the Janus VXY (X = S, Se, Y = Se, Te) monolayer. By employing first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we find a strong anisotropic Rashba splitting observed around Γ points in the first Brillouin zone. We analyze this anisotropy of Rashba splitting by using k·p perturbation theory synergized with group symmetry analysis. By giving the effect of the biaxial strain, we manipulate the characteristics of the Rashba splitting on the Janus Vanadium Dichalcogenides system. Through spin texture analysis, we reveal both the in-plane and out-of-plane components of the spin textures, providing further evidence for the anisotropic nature of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC). The observed tuneable Rashba splitting by applying the strain effect shows that the Janus Vanadium dichalcogenides system has the potential to be used as a semiconductor material for spintronic devices.

Abstract

Hydroxyapatite/curcumin composites have been studied as a calcium phosphate cement candidate. In this research, the effects of adding SiO2 to the hydroxyapatite/curcumin composite on the characteristics of the cement, such as the crystal and surface properties, as well as the release behavior of curcumin in Ringer's solution media, were studied. The composite preparation with and without SiO2 was carried out using a Na2HPO4 2.5% solution. The results showed that the addition of 25% SiO2 to the hydroxyapatite/curcumin composite did not change the crystal properties of hydroxyapatite but produced a more homogenous distribution of the ingredients. The behavior of the composite in Ringer's solution also changes, which is proven by the change in the crystal growth direction and Ca/P ratio. Adding SiO2 produced a composite with a platter and larger particles, as well as a higher Ca/P ratio on the surface. The presence of SiO2 inhibited the release of curcumin in which the ratio of HA: curcumin changed from 77.7%:22.3% to 69.6%:30.4% after 5 d of immersion in Ringer's solution. Thus, besides increasing calcium phosphate deposition on the cement surface, SiO2 also prevents curcumin from being released from the composite.

Abstract

Simultaneous spectrofluorometric method described for the determination of trimethoprim (TMP) and sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) in pure and pharmaceutical preparations using H-point standard addition method (HPSAM) according to the reaction of nanograms of drugs with O-phthaladehyde (OPA) reagent to forms highly fluorescence compounds. The formed fluorophore excitation and emission at 342 and 458 nm, respectively, for OPA-TMP compound, at 424 and 508 nm, respectively, for OPA-SMZ compound under basic condition (pH 9.8) in the presence of 2-mercabtoethanol. A simple and accurate HPSAM is reported to resolve the overlapping in the fluorescence spectrum of these two drugs without prior separation of samples. The linear range was 100–1200 ng/mL for TMP and 100–1100 ng/mL for SMZ. The LOD and LOQ were 16.64 and 36.80 ng/mL, as well as 15.76 and 33.88 ng/mL for TMP and SMZ, respectively. The relative standard deviations and recovery percentages were 0.641% and 101.29% for TMP as well as 0.558% and 100.96% for SMZ, respectively. The procedure has been applied successfully in various pharmaceutical preparations. It was discovered that the experimental F- and t-values at a 95% confidence level were no higher than the theoretical values, showing that the HPSAM method is accurate and valid.
