Synergizing Monte Carlo simulations and experimental insights for efficient cationic dye removal using natural fluorapatite.

Context: Natural fluorapatite (FAP) has been investigated as an adsorbent for the removal of dyes such as methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV) from aqueous solutions. Effective dye removal is crucial for water treatment, particularly for industrial wastewater containing toxic dyes. FAP, a naturally abundant material, was characterized using XRD, FTIR, and SEM analysis.

Guanylate Kinase 1 Deficiency: A Novel and Potentially Treatable Mitochondrial DNA Depletion/Deletions Disease.

Objective: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion/deletions syndrome (MDDS) comprises a group of diseases caused by primary autosomal defects of mtDNA maintenance. Our objective was to study the etiology of MDDS in 4 patients who lack pathogenic variants in known genetic causes.

Methods: Whole exome sequencing of the probands was performed to identify pathogenic variants.

Immobilization of silver-loaded graphene oxide (Ag-GO) on canvas fabric support for catalytic conversion of 4 nitrophenol.

Due to the rising human population and industrialization, harmful chemical compounds such as 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and various dyes are increasingly released into the environment, resulting in water pollution. It is essential to convert these harmful chemicals into harmless compounds to mitigate this pollution. This research focuses on synthesizing a novel heterogeneous catalyst using modified canvas fabric (CF) decorated with silver metal nanoparticles on graphene oxide nanosheets (Ag-GO/CF).

Resourceful exploitation of sedimentary clay: Designing a dual-chambered borosilicate glass reactor system for the efficient treatment of malachite green and phenol through SCRT adsorption and 5%Fe@SRCT catalysis via CWPO, with evaluation of seed germination and fish survival.

This study presents an innovative double-walled borosilicate glass reactor system for the efficient treatment of liquid and gaseous wastewater. This reactor system allows precise temperature control, continuous pH monitoring, and controlled dosing of reagents to optimize reaction conditions. Detailed characterization was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), BET (specific surface area) analysis, point of zero charge (PZC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for the SCR, SCRT, and 5%Fe@SCRT materials.

Adsorption studies of isoxazole derivatives as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 1M HCl solution: DFT studies and molecular dynamics simulation.

Context: The corrosion of mild steel is a significant issue in various industries, prompting the need for effective corrosion inhibitors. This study focuses on understanding the corrosion inhibition properties of organic compounds derived from isoxazole, namely series Iso(a), Iso(b), Iso(c), Iso(d), Iso(e), Iso(f), Iso(g), and Iso(h), which could have implications for materials science and industrial applications. By investigating the influence of different substitutions on these compounds, valuable insights can be gained into designing better corrosion inhibitors for practical use.
