Four different types of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used and compared for the treatment of benzoic acid contaminated water. The types of nanotubes used were: (1) non-purified (CNTs), as made; (2) purified (CNTs), not containing the catalyst; (3) oxidized (CNTs), characterized by the presence of groups such as, -COOH; (4) calcined (CNTs), with elimination of interactions between nanotubes. In addition, activated carbon was also used to allow for later comparison. The adsorption tests were conducted on an aqueous solution of benzoic acid at concentration of 20 mg/L, as a model of carboxylated aromatic compounds. After the adsorption tests, the residual benzoic acid concentrations were measured by UV-visible spectrometry, while the carbon nanotubes were characterized by TG and DTA thermal analyses and electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the type of nanotubes thermally treated at 900 °C has the best performances in terms of adsorption rate and amounts of collected acid, even if compared with the performance of activated carbons.

Whey fermentation could produce bioactive substances with immunomodulatory effects, metabolic syndrome modulation, and antioxidant properties, thereby imparting functional characteristics to products and facilitating the development of novel foods with health-promoting potential. A non-targeted metabolomics approach using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was employed to investigate changes in the metabolite profiles of whey fermented by strain KM812 over varying fermentation durations. The findings demonstrated a progressive enrichment of metabolites over time.

A simple and green chemometrics-assisted spectrophotometric technique has beendeveloped and validated for the determination of antipyrine (ANT) and benzocaine HCl (BEN) along with the official impurity of ANT, antipyrine impurity A (ANT imp-A), and the degradation product of BEN, p-amino benzoic acid (PABA), in their quaternary mixture. Three models were developed and compared: partial least squares (PLS), artificial neural networks (ANN), and multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) where the four studied drugs were successfully quantified. The quantitative determination of the studied drugs was assessed using percentage recoveries, standard errors of prediction, and root mean square errors of prediction.

Cryptosporidiosis is a diarrheal disease caused by the parasite resulting in over 100,000 deaths annually. Here, we present a structure-activity relationship study of the benzoic acid position (R) of pyrazolo[3,4-]pyrimidine lead SLU-2815 (), an inhibitor of parasite phosphodiesterase PDE1, resulting in the discovery of benzoxaborole SLU-10906 () as a benzoic acid bioisostere. Benzoxaborole is 10-fold more potent than against the parasite in a cell-based infection model (EC = 0.

Using organic oxidation reactions to replace the oxygen evolution reaction is a promising approach for producing high-value organic products and hydrogen. Here, we report a photoelectrochemical benzyl alcohol oxidation system based on an α-FeO photoanode coated with a NiCo-layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) cocatalyst. By adjustment of the relative content of Ni and Co in the NiCo-LDH, the optimized photoanode achieved a benzyl alcohol conversion efficiency of 99.
