An investigation of the adsorption of Congo red dye on two naturally occurring adsorbents Hydroxyapatite and Bentonite: An Experimental Analysis, DFT calculations, and Monte Carlo simulation.

Congo Red (CR) dye is classified as a toxic and carcinogenic substance, posing significant health and environmental risks. To address this issue, the adsorption efficiency of CR on natural bentonite and hydroxyapatite (HA) was systematically studied. The adsorbents were successfully characterized by XRD, FTIR, and SEM analysis.

Gamma-irradiation effect on the chemical composition and antibacterial activity of the moroccan L. essential oil.

The primary objective of the present inquiry was to assess the impact of gamma irradiation on the chemical composition and antibacterial potential of the essential oil extracted from the aerial parts of Moroccan L. to this end, two distinct irradiation doses of 5 kGy and 10 kGy were administered to the essential oil, and the resultant effects were evaluated via analysis of the oil's chemical composition and antibacterial activity. The study findings have revealed that irradiation technology possesses the remarkable ability to modulate the concentrations of specific chemical constituents in a manner that effectively amplifies the antibacterial activity of the essential oil.

A comprehensive assessment of carbon steel corrosion inhibition by 1,10-phenanthroline in the acidic environment: insights from experimental and computational studies.

1,10-Phenanthroline (PHN) is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic organic compound that is widely used in a variety of applications, including chemosensors, biological studies, and pharmaceuticals, which promotes its use as an organic inhibitor to reduce corrosion of steel in acidic solution. In this regard, the inhibition ability of PHN was examined for carbon steel (C48) in a 1.0 M HCl environment by performing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), mass loss, and thermometric/kinetic.
