Molecular modeling investigation on mechanism of diazinon pesticide removal from water by single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes.

In this study, the mechanism of diazinon adsorption on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), as well as multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), was investigated using molecular modelling. Determination of the lowest energy sites of different types of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was demonstrated. The adsorption site locator module was used for this purpose.

Application of novel FeO/Zn-metal organic framework magnetic nanostructures as an antimicrobial agent and magnetic nanocatalyst in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds.

Using the microwave-assisted method, novel FeO/Zn-metal organic framework magnetic nanostructures were synthesized. The crystallinity, thermal stability, adsorption/desorption isotherms, morphology/size distribution, and magnetic hysteresis of synthesized FeO/Zn-metal organic framework magnetic nanostructures were characterized by XRD patterns, TGA curve, BET adsorption/desorption technique, SEM image, and VSM curve, respectively. After confirming the FeO/Zn-metal organic framework magnetic nanostructures, its antimicrobial properties against Gram-positive bacterial, Gram-negative bacterial, and fungal strains based on minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) values were studied.
