Insecticide spray in fruit gardens is a very common practice in different districts of Pakistan. These toxic sprays not only deteriorate the taste of fruit but also due to wet deposition travel through soil, they reach groundwater via leaching process. In the present study, imidazolium-based ionic liquid ([Cim][CHNH]Br) and its cellulose acetate-supported membrane ([CA-Cim][CHNH]Br) was prepared and characterized using FTIR, XRD, and SEM. These materials are used as adsorbents for the removal of "Pirimicarb" (an insecticide from waste water). A closed batch at varying parameters, i.e., concentration and temperature as function of time, was conducted on UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Comparison of removal capacity exposed better (74%) adsorption trend by CA-IL membrane than ionic liquid (68%). Thermodynamic studies projected spontaneous process (-ΔG), favoring endothermic reaction (ΔH, ΔS). Kinetics supported pseudo-second order reaction while fitness of isothermic models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin) proposed multistep intraparticle diffusion process.

In this work, a theoretical approach is developed to investigate the structural properties of ionic microgels induced by a circularly polarized (CP) electric field. Following a similar study on chain formation in the presence of linearly polarized fields [T. Colla , , 2018, , 4321-4337], we propose an effective potential between microgels which incorporates the field-induced interactions a static, time averaged polarizing charge at the particle surface.

Understanding the arrangement of ionic liquids at the interface and their interactions with the surface is crucial for enhancing selectivity in heterogeneous reactions for practical applications. In this study, we investigate the nature of the adsorption and structural orientations of a sulfonyl-based ionic liquid on platinum-based mono- and bimetallic (111) surfaces employing replica exchange molecular dynamics and first-principles density functional theory calculations. More than 30 confirmations of the ionic liquid are identified on both monometallic and bimetallic surfaces.

In this study, the dispersion behavior of MoS₂ in ionic liquids (ILs) with varying alkyl chain lengths was the primary focus of investigation, followed by the design of a novel PAM/SMA/CMC/PDA@MoS hydrogel. By optimizing the concentrations of CMC and PDA@MoS, a bifunctional hydrogel with both sensing and catalytic functions was successfully developed. Mechanical tests revealed that the PAM/SMA/CMC/0.

Efficient enrichment of analytes and purification of matrices are crucial for the highly sensitive detection and monitoring of pesticides in traditional Chinese herbs. This work prepared magnetic ionic liquid-controlled covalent organic framework (IL-COF@FeO) as the sorbent via a simple in-situ precipitation polymerization and thiolene "click" strategy. The IL-COF@FeO exhibited remarkable adsorption performance towards pyrethroids within 5 min.
