A new methodology involving the use of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a probe and liquid crystal (LC) signal reporter for detection heavy metal ions in water at neutral pH was developed. BSA acted multi-dentate ligand multiple ions. The LC sensor fabricated by immobilizing 3 µg mL−1 solution on dimethyloctadecyl-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ammonium chloride (DMOAP)-coated glass slides. In absence ions, dark optical image observed, while their presence, turned to bright. response characterized...
All the research data upon which you base your statements has been collected until October 2023. CAP is an innovative program designed to fill gap between climate awareness and active participation with incentivized task-based approach. This report on outlines its key attributes: a curated rewards scheme; real-time access current news; as well dynamic platform that enables interactions public government agencies. Here envisions bringing better environmental stewardship by encouraging...
This study reports the extraction of cellulose by means an environment-friendly multistep procedure involving alkaline treatment and totally chlorine-free bleaching. The process begins with removal pectin, cutin, waxes, other extractives from Eucalyptus lenceolata straw, followed hemicelluloses lignin using treatment, lastly further delignification pulp through a two-step bleaching process, first use hydrogen peroxide/tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) then mixture acetic nitric acids....
Quartzite obtained from local source was investigated for the removal of anionic dye congo red (CR) and cationic malachite green (MG) as an adsorbent aqueous solution in batch experiment. The adsorption process studied a function concentration, contact time, pH temperature. Adsorption described well by Langmuir Freundlich isotherms. capacity remained 666.7 mg/g CR 348.125 MG dye. Data analyzed thermodynamically, ΔH0 ΔG0 values proved that is endothermic spontaneous process. data fitted best...
Elastase is the only enzyme that has capability to degrade elastin and collagen, two proteins essential for skin bones. The synthesis of some densely substituted piperidines functionalized with trifluoromethyl group (4a-j) was carried out. newly prepared compounds were subjected elastase inhibitory potential antioxidant activity assays. Among series, 4i (IC50 = 0.341 ± 0.001 μM) exhibited maximum inhibition against elastase. Binding analysis delineated fluorine atom ligand showed hydrogen...
Dewatering of fruit juice through forward osmosis (FO) has attracted great attention in recent years; however, its application for concentration FO is limited due to high fouling rate, low flux, and expensive nature membranes. Inorganic membranes are heat-intensive steps raw materials that involved synthesis, while geopolymerization technique inorganic membrane synthesis reduced the cost sintering-free using fly ashes as a source material. In this research work, we report economical...
Wastewater mixed with industrial effluents is used for irrigation in Gadoon Industrial estate and thus contaminating soil. This soil was tested heavy metal content by using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (perkin elmer 700) compared control irrigated tube well water at seven selected spots. Accumulation of the toxic significantly greater effluent than (p < 0.05). Manganese (Mn) most significant pollutant, accumulated up to 9.95 ppm waste water. It found that samples were containing Zn...
An inorganic microfiltration membrane has been synthesized by the hydrothermal method at a curing temperature of 90°C for 15 h through geo-polymerization technique using kaolinite material found in Azakhel Matani, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.The metakaolin was obtained from calcination process 700°C.XRF analysis thermally activated revealed presence Si and Al ratio 2.97.Geopolymer gel Na 2 O-3SiO -Al O 3 prepared separate mixing with alkaline activator molar 2.5.The higher compressive...
The Eucalyptus lenceolata wood was collected from Malakand division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. Chemical activation of sample conducted for surface efficiency. Batch studies were performed to address various experimental parameters like, contact time, temperature and adsorbent dosage the removal dye. For elemental analysis, morphology identification different functional groups, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) Fourier transform infrared (FTIR)...
Abstract This study pertains to theoretical aspect of membrane and surfactant supported ultrafiltration technique followed by experimental evaluation rejection percentage (R%) permeate flux (J). The organic dye malachite green (MG) was removed from water samples with help micellar solution sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on account effective surfactant-dye interaction. MG removal result electrostatic force attraction between Stern layer SDS micelles cationic in addition hydrophobic-hydrophobic...
Abstract Stabilization of zero-valent CuNi nanoparticles (NPs) supported on Cicer arietenum (CP) is reported here for the reduction and removal persistent organic pollutants. The functional groups interactions NPs with CP were determined by ATR-FTIR. crystallinity, morphology, elemental composition samples through powder XRD, FESEM, EDS techniques, respectively. XRD spectrum displayed a sharp crystalline peak at 43.9 CuNi. Cu Ni almost same region, thus, both peaks are merged appeared as...
The pre-harvest treatment of gibbrellic acid (GA 3 ) as foliar spray was applied to chrysanthemum cultivars in order investigate its impact on flower quality, persistency plant and vase life.The Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with two factors factorial arrangement used application GA (0, 50, 100, 150mgL -1 sprayed (Rebbonet, Revert, Resomme Magdalena) at button stage buds.The significantly influenced most the growth parameters enhanced quality flowers cultivars.However, plants when...
Abstract A new sensing methodology has been developed for the detection of Cu(II) ions in water by using biotinylated oligopeptide as a probe whereas liquid crystal (LC) and fluorophore were used signal reporters.
