Abstract

This paper discusses the use of electroplating wastewater containing Cr and Cu as a single dopant source to improve the activity of TiO2 photocatalysts under visible light. Sol-gel doping was used to dop TiO2 with Cr and Cu in the wastewater. The doped TiO2 photocatalysts were characterized using SRUV/visible and XRD instruments, and their effect on the degradation of linear alkyl benzene sulphonate (LAS) in laundry wastewater was evaluated. The electroplating wastewater used in this research contains Cr and Cu about 2000 and 20 mg/L, respectively. These metals were successfully doped into a TiO2 structure, which significantly reduced the gap energy of TiO2, allowing it to be more active under visible light. The highest photodegradation of the 125 mg/L LAS in 25 mL of the laundry wastewater with pH 7 was achieved by using 30 mg of TiO2/Cr-Cu (200/2) photocatalyst, which degraded up to 60% of LAS in 60 min. With the same conditions, the LAS photodegradation increased to 100% upon the second run. This approach can help turn hazardous electroplating wastewater into a valuable material to solve environmental problems.

Abstract

Forensic short tandem repeats (STR) profiling on touch DNA samples has emerged as a primary method for human identification. The stability and uniqueness of STR combination from the targeted locus in each individual make it a precision marker for human identification. Touch DNA samples can be found in traces of biological material shed from a person. This work aimed to identify the lowest concentration limit required for generating an interpretable DNA profile and the sensitivity of the STR loci applied. Touch DNA samples were collected from donors who were asked to hold a rope for 5 min. A double swab technique was used to lift the touch samples from the rope. These samples are subjected to DNA extraction and quantification. Two STR amplification cycles, 29 and 34 cycles, were used. DNA concentration greatly influences the success of amplifying the target allele at each STR locus to be interpreted into a complete DNA profile, shown by its allele peak. Touch DNA concentration >0.25 ng can produce a complete DNA profile. LCN method successfully amplified touch DNA with a concentration 0.0625–0.25 ng/µL. Limit detection of touch DNA analysis is 0.25 ng/µL. Low-copy DNA can still be analyzed within 0.0625–0.25 ng/µL.

Abstract

This research evaluated the effects of hybrid fillers and mixing equipment on natural rubber (NR) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) properties with an 80/20 ratio. Silica (Si), carbon black (C), china clay (CC), and calcium carbonate (Ca) were used as hybrid fillers. Mixing techniques using two-roll mill and an internal mixer were compared. The study focused on cure characteristics, mechanical properties, and thermal stability. The study found that incorporating hybrid fillers significantly improved the curing process. Blends prepared by an internal mixer had more consistent mechanical properties such as modulus, tear strength, and hardness compared to those prepared by two-roll mill. Blends with Si and C (NE-SiC) showed significant enhancements in tensile and tear strength. Although adding multiple fillers did not accelerate curing, it enhanced the modulus, indicating a potential synergistic effect. The internal mixer method resulted in better elongation at break, except for the NE-SiC-CC.Ca blend, which had reduced flexibility. Thermal analysis revealed higher thermal stability for blends with hybrid fillers, decomposing at elevated temperatures with larger residues, particularly in NE-SiC-CC and NE-SiC-CC.Ca blends. These research findings highlight the critical role of filler types and mixing methods in optimizing the performance of NR/EPDM rubber blends.

Abstract

According to World Bank data, approximately 2.01 billion tons of urban waste is produced annually, with approximately 33% of waste being improperly managed, leading to concentrated and toxic leachate. This poses a global challenge due to its varied characteristics influenced by climate, landfill age, and waste composition, resulting in groundwater and surface water pollution with severe impacts on human health, ecosystems, and biodiversity, necessitating stringent treatment measures. To address this, a study integrated coagulation-flocculation and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) using a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) ozone plasma nanobubble (OPN) reactor to degrade leachate. Gas flow rate, plasma voltage, and gas sources are variated. This research uses O2 or air as a gas source that produces plasma. The leachate is fed into the DBD reactor, so the bubble will burst and produce further ROS. Optimal results were observed after 60 min, with oxygen gas feed reducing total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and biological oxygen demand (BOD) by 100, 93.93, and 74.12%, respectively, alongside a decrease in pH. This study indicates the promising potential of this technology for leachate treatment and demonstrates the potential for nitrate production using both types of gas feed.

Abstract

Ehretia asperula Zoll. & Moritzi was a common medicinal herb found in several Asian nations. This herb was found in many provinces in northern Vietnam, especially Hoa Binh province. Leaves of E. asperula cultivated in Tay Ninh Province were used to isolate compounds and evaluate their potential as antioxidants by five methods, including TAC, RP, FRAP, DPPH, and ABTS•+. Seven compounds were isolated and elucidated from the ethyl acetate fraction, including kaempferol (1), astragalin (2), nicotiflorin (3), rutin (4), caffeic acid (5), (-)-loliolide (6), and daucosterol (7), where compounds 1, 4, 6, and 7 were found from this species for the first time. All isolated compounds from E. asperula leaves exhibited antioxidant activity, consisting of 5.70 ± 0.01 to 299.13 ± 10.19 μg/mL for EC50 values. Especially compound 5 had a very strong antioxidant effect based on five methods TAC (EC50 = 8.43 ± 0.15 μg/mL), RP (EC50 = 6.79 ± 003 μg/mL), FRAP (EC50 = 12.72 ± 006 μg/mL), DPPH (EC50 = 5.57 ± 0.02 µg/mL), and ABTS•+ (EC50 = 5.70 ± 0.01 μg/mL). From our results, Tay Ninh Province's E. asperula leaves are abundant in naturally occurring antioxidants, indicating their potential use as therapeutic materials.

Abstract

The ABX3 perovskite materials have recently emerged as one of the most promising materials for optoelectronic applications. In the present study, novel perovskites in the form of InZnCl3 and InCdCl3 are computationally investigated to determine their key characteristics, including structural, mechanical, electronic, and optical characteristics. These characteristics were evaluated using the density functional theory (DFT) implemented in the quantum espresso code. The results indicated that both materials exhibit chemical, dynamic, and mechanical stability. Moreover, these perovskites are predicted to be ductile, rendering them suitable for a broad array of optoelectronic applications, including solar cells. The electronic band structure and the density of states of the materials revealed their characteristics as indirect semiconductors with band gap energy values of 0.96 eV for InZnCl3 and 1.83 eV for InCdCl3 perovskites. The optical properties calculations also unveiled that these perovskites possess strong absorption in the visible-ultraviolet spectrum (up to 106 cm−1) and low reflectivity. The calculated refractive index and extinction coefficient of the compounds were also predicted in this study. These collective findings strongly suggest the potential applications of these novel materials in optoelectronic devices.

Abstract

This research involved top-down dealumination and steam treatment methods to design the hierarchical pores of ZSM-5, which is then wet-impregnated with a Fe-Co. This method overcomes the steric barrier that hinders the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) process and makes the catalyst hydrophobic, thereby allowing it to overcome the biphasic hindrance caused by the difference in polarity between the fuel oil and the oxidant. Characterization of the catalyst's properties based on BET and BJH, XRF, and contact angle, as well as testing its performance on DBT model oil in n-hexadecane and Indonesian commercial diesel were conducted. Simulation of the reaction energy profile using density functional theory calculations was also carried out to deepen insight into the mechanism of the reaction. Results of this study show that the catalyst has excellent catalytic reactivity in the long-chain hydrocarbon ODS process, with a TOF number of 183 h−1.

Abstract

Significant development in antibacterial agents derived from metal nanoparticles is currently underway. One commonly employed type is silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which display potential antibacterial activity at lower concentrations compared to other metals. Due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and small size, AgNPs can readily penetrate bacterial cell walls. Green synthesis methods of AgNPs, such as utilizing plants as reducing agents, offer substantial advantages over other synthesis techniques. Lime (Citrus aurantifolia), containing compounds like flavonoids and saponins, can serve as a natural reducing agent, converting Ag+ ions to Ag0. This study aims to evaluate the effects of AgNO3 concentration, lime juice powder concentration, and pH on the formation and characteristics of AgNPs, as well as their activity against the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. Results indicate that at an AgNO3 concentration of 1 mM, lime juice extract at 1% with a pH of 9 produces optimal AgNP formation, with an absorbance of 4.631 and particle size of 68.4 nm. AgNPs exhibit higher antibacterial activity than AgNO3. AgNPs synthesized with lime juice powder can increase their activity and have the advantages of being safe and environmentally friendly since they use plant material as a reducing agent.

Abstract

This study investigates the isothermic oxidation behavior of the new ODS alloy Fe-16Cr-4Al-1Ni-0.4Y2O3 (% by weight) at 700, 800 and 900 °C, with exposure times of 5, 20, 50, and 100 h at each temperature. The purpose is to obtain new data on its high-temperature parabolic oxidation constant for assessing oxidation resistance. The methods used include isothermal oxidation testing, XRD, SEM-EDS characterization, and analysis of oxidation kinetics by monitoring changes in oxide thickness using microscopy and SEM-EDS. The oxide products formed on the sample surface are Fe2O3, Fe3O4, AlFe2O4, and (Fe,Cr)2O3. Al and Cr oxides are located under the dominant Fe oxide layer on the surface of the sample. The oxidation test results showed that the most protective sample was obtained at a temperature of 700 °C for 100 h with an oxide thickness of 263.99 μm. The kinetics analysis correlates strongly with the parabolic equation (R2 ≈ 1). The oxidation rate constants at temperatures of 700, 800, and 900 °C were 681.76, 2957.5, and 12300 μm2 h−1, respectively. The activation energy required by the oxidation reaction in this alloy is 136.5 kJ mol−1. This research enhances understanding and potential applications of the Fe-16Cr-4Al-1Ni-0.4Y2O3 alloy in high-temperature environments.

Abstract

Five new lanthanide complexes based on azomethine (Schiff bases) ligands have been synthesized, including La, Nd, Er, Gd, and Dy. Complexes were synthesized using the azomethine Schiff bases resulting from condensation reactions between 4-aminoantipyrine and acetonylacetone. The structural characteristics of azomethine obtained are characterized quantitatively and qualitatively through various techniques, including elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurement, molar conductivity, infrared, ultraviolet absorption, GC-mass, and 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy studies. The structural characteristics of Ln+3 complexes indicate that the complexes possess a composition of a specific type. Based on the elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurement, molar conductivity, and ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy data, it can be inferred that the central metal ion is surrounded by a coordination number of 10, the general formula of [Ln(L)2(NO3)]·nNO3nH2O. The physical measurements confirmed that the synthesized complexes exhibit non-electrolyte behavior and paramagnetic properties. The antibacterial activity of the compounds was assessed in vitro against 4 pathogenic strains: E. coli, S. aureus, K. pneumoniae, and S. mutans. The evaluation was conducted using the agar disc spreading method. The results demonstrated that certain complexes exhibited significant antibacterial efficacy in comparison to the biological activity of the ligand.
