The potential of using visible and near infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to assess soluble solids content (SSC) of intact navel orange was examined. A total 40 samples were used to develop the calibration and prediction models. NIR spectral data were collected in the spectral region between 350 and 2 500 nm and their second derivative spectra were used for the present study. Different scattering correction algorithms (no preprocessing and multiplicative scattering correction (MSC)) were compared. Camibration models based on different spectral ranges, different derivatives and different kinds of statistical models including partial least square (PLS) and principal component regression (PCR) were also compared. The best results of PLS models with the second derivative spectra are r = 0.929, RMSEC = 0.517 and RMSEP = 0.592 in the wavelength range of 361-2 488 nm. The results show that this method is feasible for non destructive assessing of SSC of the navel orange.

Hematite (α-FeO) nanoparticles have been synthesized from waste source of iron which contains a prominent amount of iron (93.2 %) and investigated the effect of low temperature calcination. The two-step synthesis method involved preparing ferrous sulfate through acid leaching process followed by oxidation and calcination at temperatures ranging from 200 to 400 °C to produce the desired α-FeO in nano form.

We present a novel approach for enhancing photocatalytic efficiency by developing polyaniline (PANI) and polyindole (PIN)-coated TiO nanotubes (TNT) through a combination of chemical oxidation and hydrothermal processes. The PANI-PIN coating was systematically applied to both the internal and external surfaces of the nanotubes to enhance the photocatalytic active sites and optimize pollutant adsorption. The dual-coated structure enhances the interaction with pollutants, facilitating a more efficient degradation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) when exposed to visible light.

Objective: The study aimed to conduct a comparative analysis of the effects of incorporating hydrazinyl coumarin derivative (HCD) in resin-modified (RMGIC) and conventional glass ionomer cement (cGIC) on their release profiles and antibacterial properties.
Method: Resin-modified GIC, Fuji II LC (F2) and high-fluoride cGIC, Fuji VII (F7) were used as controls. HCD was synthesized in-house, incorporated into both RMGIC and cGICs at 1 % and 2 % weight percentages (w/w), and chemically analyzed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.
Selective Adsorption of Chlorine Species on RuO Sites for Efficient Elimination of Vinyl Chloride on the Ru/SnO Catalyst.

The main bottleneck in the catalytic combustion of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) is deactivation and the production of chlorine-containing byproducts originating from the chlorine species deposited on the catalyst. Herein, Ru supported on SnO (Ru/SnO) was prepared with the lattice matching principle. As RuO and SnO are both rutile phases, Ru species were present as highly dispersed RuO particles on the Ru/SnO catalyst.

Photocatalytic oxidation is considered to be a highly promising technology for indoor formaldehyde (HCHO) abatement. However, powdered photocatalysts encounter practical challenges due to their recycling difficulties and propensity for aggregation. In this study, we developed a CuO/OVs-TiO photocatalyst dispersion using various physical and chemical methods, which could be stabilized for an extended period.
