Abstract

Kalanchoe ceratophylla Haw. is a medicinal plant traditionally used to address various health disorders. Its biological activities are believed to be associated with its secondary metabolites, particularly phenolics and flavonoids. Despite its traditional use, scientific information This study assesses the phytochemical composition alongside the total phenolic and flavonoid contents in the stem and leaf preparations of Kalanchoe ceratophylla Haw. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and phenols in the stem extract, while the leaf extract also contained steroids. The total phenolic content was 7.43 mg GAE/100 g extract for stem and 7.11 mg GAE/100 g extract for leaves, whereas total flavonoids amounted to 0.324 mg QE/g extract (stem) and 1.621 mg QE/g extract (leaves). These findings highlight the potential use of K. ceratophylla, especially its leaves, for developing antioxidant-based herbal medicines.

Abstract

Coal fly ash an inexpensive waste material rich in silica, is reused as a renewable source and has attracted widespread attention. The sol-gel process was used to synthesize silica nanoparticles based on coal fly ash. Extraction of silica in the form of alkaline sodium silicate using alkali, followed by the formation of silica gel from the neutralization of alkaline sodium silicate with acid. The treated samples were calcined at 450 °C, 650 °C, and 850 °C. The chemical composition, morphology, phase, and silica functional groups of the as-synthesized silica nanoparticle powder were investigated using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), field emission scanning electron microscopy and Electron diffraction spectroscopy (FESEM-EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Infrared (IR) spectral analysis showed that silica had hydrogen-bonded silanol and siloxane groups. The silica nanoparticles' purity was found to be as high as 97% in their amorphous state, with XRD analysis indicating this due to the broad peak observed in the 20-23° two-theta region, characterised by a spherical shape and a tendency to aggregate into clusters.
