Article Synopsis
- The study focused on creating microspheres containing Mesalazine (5-ASA) for targeted drug delivery to the colon, using an emulsion solvent evaporation method.
- The formulation included sodium alginate and ethylcellulose as encapsulating agents and polyvinyl alcohol as an emulsifier while examining the impact of various processing parameters on the microspheres' properties.
- Characterization methods included optical microscopy and spectroscopy, and drug release was tested in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids, with kinetic results analyzed under specific mathematical models to evaluate drug liberation.
Chitosan/bentonite beads (CsB) composites were prepared from chitosan (Cs) and bentonite (B) and cross-linked with epichlorohydrin for removal of reactive orange 16 (RO16) and methylene blue (MB). The adsorption results have shown that the (Cs20B80), 20 % wt of (Cs) and 80 % (B), was selected as the best adsorbent for (MB) and (RO16) dyes. SEM, EDX, FTIR, BET, and pHpzc were implemented to investigate the features of Cs, B, and Cs20B80 samples.

First, the phase solubility diagram of MA in β-CD was drawn from 0 to 21 × 10 M of β-CD concentration. A job's plot experiment was used to determine the stoichiometry of the MA:β-CD complex (2:1).
