Extraction and separation feasibility of cerium (III) and lanthanum (III) from aqueous solution using modified graphite adsorbent.

Graphite (GR) and graphite/alginate (GRA) composite were synthesized utilizing the thermal annealing technique and used as a new adsorbent material for the selective separation and removal of La(III) and Ce(III) from aqueous solutions. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermal analysis (DTA, TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area, porosity, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were also used to characterize the generated material. Distinct experiments were performed to test the ability of the GRA to La(III) and Ce(III) removal, which include the effect of pH, shaken time, initial concentration of La(III), and Ce(III) at different temperatures range.

Oxidized alginate/gelatin decorated silver nanoparticles as new nanocomposite for dye adsorption.

In the current article di-aldehyde alginate (DAA) crosslinking gelatin (Ge) hydrogel was prepared and investigated for stabilizing silver nanoparticles. DAA/Ge decorated silver nanoparticles hydrogel was characterized by IR, XRD, TGA, SEM and AFM. The outcomes demonstrate that silver nanoparticles with uniform sizes were homogenously distributed through DAA/Ge hydrogel.

All Solid-State Poly (Vinyl Chloride) Membrane Potentiometric Sensor Integrated with Nano-Beads Imprinted Polymers for Sensitive and Rapid Detection of Bispyribac Herbicide as Organic Pollutant.

All-solid-state potentiometric sensors were prepared by using polyaniline (PANI) as the solid contact material. A film of PANI (thickness approximately being 0.25 µm) was deposited on a solid substrate (carbon screen printed platform).

Cetirizine dihydrochloride interaction with some diclofenac complexes.

IR, 1H NMR and mass spectrometric studies showed that cetirizine dihydrochloride interacted strongly with diclofenac sodium, even when the latter was metal bound, forming high molecular weight stable adducts. These new formations were unaffected by the possible steric constraints that may exist because of coordination yet did not have the power to break the formed coordinate bonds. The formed ionic bond took place between the carbonyl ion of diclofenac and the positively charged piperazine ring of cetirizine, forming a ternary compound in the case of the divalent metal clusters (Ca{(dic)2.

Drug-drug interaction between diclofenac, cetirizine and ranitidine.

The interactions between diclofenac (1), cetirizine (2) and ranitidine (3) were investigated by thermal analyses and UV, IR and (1)H NMR spectroscopic studies. In aqueous solution interaction occurred only between 1 and 2, yielding a high molecular weight (1:1), water insoluble ionic salt. Weak charge transfer (CT) interaction exists between the doubly charged piperazine moiety in 2, acting as an electron acceptor and (1).
