The results show the presence of different valuable phytochemicals. The total phenolic content is 54.744, 68.933, and 87.522 mg g–1 of gallic acid equivalent for the petroleum ether, chloroform, and ethanol extracts, respectively. The total flavonoid content of the petroleum ether, chloroform, and ethanol extracts are 22.770, 37.223, and 52.289 mgCE g–1, respectively. This could lead to potential biological activity of the plant extract. Besides, the ethanol extract exhibits higher antioxidant activity than all the tested extracts. Likewise, the extracts have promising antibacterial activity with that of the ethanol extract being higher than those of the chloroform and petroleum extracts as well as isolated fractions.","PeriodicalId":15318,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Research-s","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78406574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The morphology and crystal structure of the synthesized composite are characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, and from nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, confirming that the carbon layer with a porous structure is successfully loaded onto the surface of the face-centered cubic Fe3O4 nanospheres to form a core–shell structure. The adsorption performance of the Fe3O4 nanospheres/carbon core–shell structure is investigated by studying the effects of the initial pH value of the solution, the contact time, the initial concentration of the pollutants, the adsorption temperature, and the amount of adsorbent. The Fe3O4 nanospheres/carbon core–shell structure effectively removes heavy metal Chromium(VI) and a reactive light yellow dye. The results of batch experiments show that the removal efficiencies of heavy metal Chromium(VI) and the reactive light yellow dye are close to 100% under optimized conditions.

This visual colorimetric method is based on the reaction between potassium titanyl oxalate and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) released from triacetone triperoxide degradation. Potassium titanyl oxalate can selectively react with H2O2 to form peroxo-titanic acid (an orange complex), enabling the colorimetric detection of triacetone triperoxide. Based on the theory that triacetone triperoxide produces hydrogen peroxide under acidic conditions, acid types, acid concentration, response time, visual limit of detection, and reactants ratio are systematically studied simultaneously for this colorimetric method. Under sulfuric acid concentration is 60%, the proposed method can almost detect triacetone triperoxide instantly, and the color of the solution reaches the maximum within 1 min and remains stable with a visual limit of detection as low as 3.0 × 10−5 mol/L. Interference experiments were carried out on other kinds of explosives (hexamethylene triperoxide diamine, trinitrotoluene, etc.). The use of colorimetric card brings great convenience to the rapid, qualitative, and semi-quantitative on-site detection of triacetone triperoxide. Because of its rapidity, high sensitivity, simplicity, and selectivity, the proposed visual colorimetric method can serve as a valuable and promising reference for triacetone triperoxide’s rapid, qualitative on-site detection.","PeriodicalId":15318,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Research-s","volume":"69 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89120660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
