3D Pt@ZnAl-LDH catalyst on low-grade charcoal: A novel electrochemical platform for efficient textile dye degradation and glycerol oxidation.

The development of sustainable and efficient electrochemical processes is crucial for addressing global challenges related to water scarcity. In this study, we present a novel 3D core-shell electrocatalyst, Pt@ZnAl-LDH, supported on low-grade charcoal (LGC), which exhibits exceptional electrocatalytic activity for the degradation and decolorization of dye and the electrocatalytic conversion of glycerol to valuable C chemicals. The electrocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye from water was investigated with a focus on the impact of temperature, pH, and dye concentration.

Highly selective and sensitive colorimetric chemosensor using PVA/chitosan ion-imprinted nanofibers for copper ion detection and removal.

Herein, a highly efficient colorimetric chemosensor incorporating ion-imprinted electrospun nanofiber was developed for the removal and detection of Cu ions. In this regard, PVA/chitosan composites were used as the polymeric matrix, and 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol was employed for complex formation. The prepared naked-eye sensor was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis, revealing the morphological, structural, and molecular properties of the sensor.

Selective Recognition of Herbicides in Water Using a Fluorescent Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Sensor.

Fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymer (FMIP) optosensor was utilized for the selective identification of 2,4-dichlorophenoxacetic acid (2,4-D) due to worldwide pollution caused by using herbicides in agricultural industry. In this regards, two derivatives of polymerizable 1,8-naphthalimide namely, 1,8-naphthalimide containing thiourea (NI) and diethyl amine tagged 1,8-naphthalimide (NII) were used as the receptors and 2,4-D was applied as a template. Also, precipitation polymerization was applied to prepare the fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymer (FMIP).

Photocatalytic degradation of agricultural N-heterocyclic organic pollutants using immobilized nanoparticles of titania.

Degradation and mineralization of two agricultural organic pollutants (Diazinon and Imidacloprid as N-heterocyclic aromatics) in aqueous solution by nanophotocatalysis using immobilized titania nanoparticles were investigated. Insecticides, Diazinon and Imidacloprid, are persistent pollutants in agricultural soil and watercourses. A simple and effective method was developed to immobilization of titania nanoparticles.

Investigation on the adsorption capability of egg shell membrane towards model textile dyes.

Adsorption isotherms of Direct Red 80 (DR80) and Acid Blue 25 (AB25) on the egg shell membrane (ESM) were performed at 20+/-1 degrees C. Physical characteristics of ESM such as surface area and presence of functional groups were verified. The Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectra proved the presence of functional groups such as hydroxyl, amine and carbonyl groups in ESM.
