CuO NPs were synthesized using Peganum harmala seed extract. The structure of NPs was confirmed using SEM, TEM, XRD, EDX, and FTIR techniques. The tests were carried out in a batch system to assess factors affecting the dye removal efficiency, including contact time, pH, NPs dosage, and initial dye concentration. The experimental results showed that the photocatalytic process (98.42%) produced a higher degradation percentage than the sonocatalytic process (76.16%). While, the dye removal efficiency was not significant in the dark conditions (without UV or US waves). The maximum removal of reactive blue 5 dye under photocatalytic and sonocatalytic conditions occurred at the presence of 0.15 g of CuO NPs and dye concentration of 40 and 60 mg/L, respectively. The kinetic data followed a pseudo-second-order model in both photocatalytic and sonocatalytic processes with a correlation coefficient higher than 0.99. Isotherm studies showed that the Langmuir model was the best isothermal model to describe the adsorptive behavior of CuO NPs in a dark condition. The results obtained from GC-MS showed that the photocatalytic process had a degradation efficiency of over 87% in the removal of organic compounds.","PeriodicalId":18027,"journal":{"name":"Main Group Chemistry","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82729061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that the size of the co-doped NPs was smaller than that of mono-doped NPs. Meanwhile, co-doped Ag5%/Cu5%/ZnO NPs had the maximum bactericidal activity, and the destructive effect on Gram-positive bacteria was greater than that on Gram-negative bacteria. The lowest effective nanoparticle concentrations were 0.1 and 0.05 g/mL. The main bactericidal mechanism, in addition to the size of co-doped NPs, was due to the formation of reactive oxygen species, so that the destruction of the bacterial cell wall and finally death occurred through the radicals formed.","PeriodicalId":18027,"journal":{"name":"Main Group Chemistry","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76245289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, novel energetic nitrogen-rich polymers based on the 1,3,5-triazine ring were synthesized utilizing standard techniques. Four monomers were created initially: 4,6-dichloro-N-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2-amine (A), 1,1’-bis(4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine-2-yl)-1 H,1’H-5,5’-bitetrazole (B), 2,4,6-trihydrazinyl-1,3,5-triazine (C), N-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,6-dihydrazinyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine (D) In the second step, seven novel polymers named CHTA, TBT, TBTH, CTBT, THT, CTC, and TCT were synthesized via polyaddition reactions with monomers. Infra-red spectroscopy was used to characterize the nitrogen-rich polymers that were formed (IR). TGA measurements were utilized to investigate the thermal stability of substances. In addition, SEM and 1HNMR were utilized to describe the compounds. The results of thermal analysis indicate that TBT, CTC, and TCT are less stable than other nitrogen-rich polymers.

The effects of the molar ratio of metal salt to CA, calcination temperature, H2O2 dosage, reaction temperature, and catalyst dosage on the physicochemical structure and the properties of CWPO were investigated. The results showed that when the molar ratio of CA to metal salt (Cu(NO3)2·3H2O) was 1.8, the calcination temperature was 500 °C, the concentration of H2O2 was 10 mmol · L–1, the reaction temperature was 95 °C, and the dosage of catalyst was 1 g · L–1, CWPO system has the best degradation effect on CIP. At thses optical conditions, the removal rate reached 86.8%, chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate reached 54.9%, and the recycling rate of the catalyst was very good. The refractory organics in actual pharmaceutical wastewater could be oxidized by this system as well, and the COD removal rate reaches 47%. The degradation mechanism of CIP showed that the main functions of the CWPO system were ·O2– and ·OH radicals. The possible degradation pathways were determined by ion chromatography to be intermediate products generated from piperazine ring cleavage, defluorination, decarboxylation, and quinoline hydroxylation of CIP.
