Surface morphology studies of the o-MMT containing blends were also performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal stability, mechanical properties and water absorption percentage of the nanocomposites were studied. TGA test results showed that o-MMT inclusion enhanced the thermal stability of PVC/ASA/o-MMT nanocomposites and the Td 50 decomposition temperature increased by 7.5 ˚ C when the o-MMT content is 10 wt%. The tensile strength value of the neat blend was obtained as 32.51 MPa and found to increase as 36.01 MPa when the o-MMT content is 6 wt% in the system. The water absorption test results demonstrated that the water-resistance of the samples enhanced as the o-MMT content increased. Moreover, PVC/ASA blends experienced a significant increase in the contact angle by the presence of hydrophobic o-MMT. The weathering test results demonstrate that the PVC/ASA/o-MMT nanocomposite films can be used for outdoor applications without losing their properties too much.","PeriodicalId":17402,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society, Section A: Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48658416","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}

Industrial tannery effluent samples from Mamuda Tannery Industries in Challawa Industrial estate, Kano State, Nigeria were collected for a period of six months ( August 2017 to January 2018) for the experiment. Bacteria were isolated from the effluents using Serial Dilution, immobilized on agar-agar and biochemical tests were carried out to identify the bacteria. Different masses (5g, 10g, 15g, 20g, and 25g) of the identified bacteria were used in the treatment of 250 ml of the effluents. Temperature, pH, BOD, COD, SS, TDS, Sulphate (SO 4 2- ), Phosphate (PO 4 3- ), Nitrate (NO 3 - ), Chloride (Cl - ) and some heavy metals (Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, Cd, and Cu) were determined before and after treatment of the effluents with the bacteria. The pre-treatment analysis showed that the values, 29.50±4.68 , and 5.35±1.57 were observed for temperature ( O C) and the pH respectively. The levels (mg/l), 26.17±9.49 ; 3106±2753 ; 562±482 ; 444±507 ; 97.20±146.80 ; 268.34±411.01; 8.82±34.71 and 22.59±19.64 were observed for BOD , COD, SS, TDS, Nitrate, sulphates, Phosphate, Chlorides respectively. The concentration (mg/l) of the heavy metals, before treatment (with the bacteria) were as; Cr ( 7.528±4.530 ); Fe ( 1.263±0.502 ); Ni ( 0.023 ± 0.021 ); Mn ( 0.277 ± 0.03 ); Pb ( 0.304 ± 0.20 ); Zn ( 0.058 ± 0.05 ); Cd ( 0.068±0.02 ) and Cu ( 0.012 ±0.02 ). T he bacteria were identified to be Corynebacterium Kutsceri . The post-treatment analysis showed that the mean levels (mg/l) of BOD ranged from ( 0.58b±0.45 − 0.81±0.67 ); COD ( 1376±248 − 2681±867 );SS( 78±89 − 273±375 );TDS( 25b±15 − 27±16 );NO 3 − ( 14.43±8.88 − 26.52±13.06 );SO 4 2− ( 5.95±8.91 − 18.12±19.26 );PO 4 3− ( 1.76±2.64 − 2.10±3.00 );Cl − ( 5.54±4.66 − 12.90±18.39 );Cr( 3.048 ±2.70 − 5.416 ±4.07 );Fe( 0.310±0.20 − 0.732±0.11 );Ni( 0.077±0.06 − 0.172±0.05 );Mn( 0.003±0.01 − 0.015±0.01 );Pb( 0.082 ±0.11 − 0.158 ±0.20 ); Zn ( 0.028±0.03 - 0.048±0.04 ); Cd ( 0.050±0.02 − 0.063±0.02 ) and Cu ( ND − 0.007±0.00 ). The post-treatment analysis using the different masses of the Corynebacterium Kutsceri indicates that there is a great decrease in the levels of the physicochemical parameters and the heavy metals as well when compared with the levels observed at the pre-treatment analysis. The decrease could be attributed to, not only due to the increase in the exact mass of the bacteria but also to the multiplicity in the mass of the Corynebacterium Kutsceri which subsequently increases the surface area for the remediation. The average high percentage reduction (70% to 100%) of these parameters and heavy metals implies that the Corynebacterium Kutsceri has a higher potential for the treatment of effluents from the textile industries.","PeriodicalId":17402,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society, Section A: Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48517887","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}

On the other hand, the disadvantages include the price and possible fragility of the sampling equipment, and the speed of sampling. Thus, a new tool was required that should have low cost, could be used for fast sampling and during fieldwork. Disposable plastic syringes fulfil all these requirements with the additional advantage that they can be used multiple times to take gas samples. With the utilisation of 3-way stopcocks, a filter media and a butterfly needle, a simple but efficient sampling system was prepared. Even though the holding time of certain components is not as high as it is for a standard sample holder, the precise analysis of the gas samples is possible. Syringes have been successfully utilised in the field of applied pyrolysis, for small and pilot scale experiments, and can even be used in industrial environment.","PeriodicalId":17402,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society, Section A: Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45145426","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 antibiotic resistance of the isolates were determined by different methods and different concentrations of standard antibiotics. The chromium tolerance of isolates were also determined. The bioactive metabolites of isolates were produced in modified medium and extracted. The antimicrobial, antibiofilm, cytotoxicity activities of bioactive metabolite were determined against standard microorganisms and Artemia salina larvae were used as test organism for cytotoxicity tests.
