The results revealed that activation improves the adsorption of Pb(II) and Cr(VI), particularly at lower concentrations, due to increased surface area and active sites. However, the influence of activation on Ni(II) is less significant. This research highlights the potential of using eco-friendly, cost-effective rice husk-derived adsorbents for water purification, offering a sustainable solution to heavy metal contamination and agricultural waste management.","PeriodicalId":8494,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Chemistry","volume":"17 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140418954","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}

All the reagents enhanced the RG%, GY% and %GE, with an increase of concentration up to a certain extent and then found to decline, except for the concentration of nitric acid. The grafting parameters were also increased with time/duration and temperature. The water retention value (WRV) of the grafted co-polymer was also measured. Activation parameters such as energy of activation (Ea), enthalpy change (ΔH), entropy change (ΔS) and free energy change (ΔG) can also be reported by using the Arrhenius plot.

The characterization of the fabricated composite involves techniques such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The composite was observed to form clusters with a size of 4.30 nm. The electrooxidation of p-nitrophenol on the Ru@Ni/ERGO/PGE electrode was investigated using chronoamperometric studies. The results indicate a satisfactory linear relationship between para-nitrophenol concentration within the range of 2.5 to 50 µM. Significantly, the proposed method demonstrates a low detection limit of 0.36 µM and a limit of quantification of 1.1 × 10-6 M. The nanocomposite electrode exhibits favourable outcomes in terms of selectivity, sensitivity and repeatability for an electrochemical sensor material. Stability testing conducted over five weeks further supports the reliability of the electrode. The capability of sensor is validated in real samples including soil and water.

The developed GC-MS/MS method is more sensitive as well as selective, for trace level analysis of genotoxic impurity 4-chloromethyl-5-methyl-1,3-dioxol-2-one (4-CMMD) in olmesartan medoxomil (OLM). In silico genotoxicity of 4-CMMD have been confimed by ICH M7 guidelines and tested to be “POSITIVE” in both knowledge and statistical based approaches. The conditions of gas chromatographic separation and mass spectrometry were optimized on stationary phase DB-35MS, helium carrier gas as at a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min. Quantification was performed in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The absence of interference at the retention time of 4-CMMD indicates that the newly developed approach is very specific and selective for accurately measuring trace levels of impurities. Additionally, this method provided linear results which were validated by linearity solutions, with concentrations ranging from 3.74 to 45.12 ppm and an observed coefficient of regression of 0.9981. Sensitivity results shows this method is more sensitive detection limit (DL) achieved at 1.23 ppm and quantification limit (QL) achieved at 3.74 ppm. The developed method is precise and accurate according to the precision results, which show RSD values < 10% and recovery > 90%, both of which are within acceptable standards. The solution stability of the samples was assessed at both room temperature and refrigerated settings, and it was found to be stable for a period of 48 h. As a result, this method has been employed for the intented purpose of quantifying 4-CMMD at the trace levels in testing laboratories, pharmaceutical analytical laboratories, and quality control laboratories.","PeriodicalId":8494,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Chemistry","volume":"37 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140420569","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}
