The aqueous extracts of Vigna subterranean (Bambara nut) leaves discarded after harvest were used in the synthesis of silver and zinc nanoparticles using 1mM concentration of silver nitrate (AgNO3) and zinc oxide (Zn O) respectively. The nanoparticles were characterized using Ultraviolet-Visible (UV/Vis) Spectroscopy, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD). Antibacterial and antifungal studies were conducted on two strains of bacteria (Salmonella typhi. and Staphylococcus aureus) and two strains of fungi (Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus) based on their inhibition zone diameter using paper disk diffusion methods. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant studies were also conducted on the nanoparticles using the inhibition of protein denaturation and reduction of DPPH respectively. The λmax absorption of the nanoparticles were found to be 434 and 460 nm respectively in the UV/Vis region. Their shapes and nature were spherical and amorphous as confirmed by the SEM and XRD analysis. The diameters of the nanoparticles ranged from 20 to 60 nm using the Particle metric particle analysis software. The FTIR confirmed the presence of some bioactive functional groups involved in the reduction of AgNO3 and Zn O to Ag and Zn nanoparticles. The nanoparticles showed moderate activities against the tested bacterial strains while showing no activity against the fungi strain when compared with standard drugs. They however showed strong anti- inflammatory and antioxidant activities. The silver and zinc mediated nanoparticles could serve as a potential source for antioxidants and anti-inflammatory drugs.","PeriodicalId":8480,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Applied Chemistry Research","volume":"2118 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86552315","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}

Sediment samples of crude oil hydrocarbon contaminated soils were randomly collected from different points at the study sites. Samples were collected between 0 - 15cm (surface m level) and 15 - 30cm (in-depth level) with soil auger and thereafter bulked to obtain composite sample. Bio remediated soil, obtained at about 200 m away from the contaminated site was also collected making a total of twelve (12) samples, with the coordinates of the locations recorded with a GPS device. The samples collected in sterile non-reactive polythene bags and transported using icepacks to the laboratory for analyses and the sediments stored at 6°C and extracted within 14 days of collection. The result of the study revealed among others that the oil-spill-impacted sites contain high concentration of TPH, as the highest concentration obtained from the different sites was 298.57 mg/kg and the lowest was 100.80 mg/kg. Also, the in-depth samples contain higher concentrations than the surface level samples, while similar results were also observed for PAHs and THC. The THC values for surface level samples are in the order of P3/S/O2 (129.000 mg/kg) > P5/S/O1 (229.300 mg/kg) > P1/S/O1 (232.200 mg/kg) > P4/S/O1 (256.111 mg/kg) > P2/S/O1 (303.100 mg/kg). The PAHs concentration in the sediment were within the acceptable limits and showed trend of DBA > Chr > BbFL > Ind > BaA > BkFL > Pyr > Fl > Flu > Ant > AcPY > Phen > AcP > NaP. There was no non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk posed to the populace as a result of PAHs contamination. Thus, the result suggest that these sediments may be contaminated with PAHs, TPH and THC and has reduced TON due to hydrocarbon contamination which may reduce plant growth in the study area. It recommends that these contaminations resulting from hydrocarbons be contained to prevent it from resulting to deleterious health effects to the exposed populace.","PeriodicalId":8480,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Applied Chemistry Research","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75292389","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 dosage, temperature and contact time of the process were varied to observe the efficiency of the bleaching process. The results of the characterization indicated that the raw and activated clays were kaolinite and the clay changed significantly after activation. The bleaching efficiency improved with an increase in temperature and an increase in the mass of the adsorbent. The highest bleaching efficiency of 83.2% was obtained. The pseudo-second-order model best described the adsorption process at 100 oC. The Temkin isotherm model best fitted the experimental data when compared to the other isotherm models because it gave the highest R2 values of >0.9 at all temperatures.

The values of the enthalpy and entropy were evaluated as 6.193 KJ/mol and 173.50 J/mol respectively. The adsorption of crude palm oil became spontaneous at 363 and 373 K due to the negative values of Gibb’s free energy obtained at those temperatures.
