This study investigates the degradation of six sulfonamide antibiotics using a novel vacuum ultraviolet/ultraviolet/hydrogen peroxide (VUV/UV/H2O2) process. The removal efficiency exceeded 94.5% for all compounds after 10 min of VUV/UV/H2O2 treatment. Degradation followed pseudo-first-order kinetics and was primarily driven by hydroxyl radicals (HO•), as confirmed by scavenger experiments using tert-butanol. Optimal conditions were identified as an initial H2O2 concentration of 5 mM and pH 5. Higher H2O2 concentrations (> 4 mM) and alkaline conditions (pH > 7) reduced degradation efficiency due to radical recombination and scavenging. Water matrix components, particularly natural organic matter, significantly inhibited degradation by quenching HO• and attenuating ultraviolet light penetration. Degradation pathways under VUV/UV/H2O2 treatment involved multiple transformation reactions, including amino group oxidation, chlorine atom substitution, and aromatic ring hydroxylation, followed by cleavage, ultimately resulting in mineralization. These findings highlight the VUV/UV/H2O2 process as a promising and effective strategy for removing sulfonamide antibiotics from contaminated water bodies.

Herein, we prepared FeS2 nanosheets (FeS2 NSs) with peroxidase mimicking behavior through a simple hydrothermal pathway. Then, a FeS2 NSs-based colorimetric assay for biothiols detection was established. On one hand, FeS2 NSs could catalyze H2O2 to oxidize colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue oxidized product (ox-TMB) with a characteristic peak at 652 nm. On the other hand, when a biothiol compound including cysteine (CySH), homocysteine (HcySH) and glutathione (GSH) was present, ox-TMB would be reduced, resulting in lighter blue and lower absorbance. Suggesting that the change of absorbance could be used for quantitative detection of biothiols. Taking HcySH as an example, several experimental parameters including pH, incubation time, and TMB concentration were optimized. Under the conditions of pH 4.5, incubation time of 50 min, and TMB of 0.4 mM, the limit of detection for HcySH, CySH and GSH was as low as 0.67, 0.59 and 0.36 μM, respectively. To verify its possible application, this method was further applied for the determination of HcySH in real serum samples, and good recoveries of 95.0 to 103.8% were obtained.

This ligand was previously synthesized from the coupling reaction between 4,5-diphenyl imidazole and 4,4-diaminodiphenylmethane in 1:2 molar ratio (4,4-diaminodiphenylmethane and 4,5-diphenyl imidazole). The synthesis process of the complexes involved the reflux reaction between the azo ligand with both metal salts. The synthesized complexes were characterized by FTIR, UV.-Visible, molar conductivity and atomic absorption. From the obtained characteristic data of the FTIR spectra, the coordination between the two metals and the azo ligand occurs by the coordination with the nitrogen atom of the azo group and one of the nitrogen atoms in the imidazole both rings. The molar conductivity test confirm the non- electrolytic nature of both complexes, while the atomic absorption agrees with the expected complexes formula. Therefore, the octahedral structure for the two complexes is suggested.

The antibacterial activity of the EOs were evaluated against four bacterial strains by agar disc diffusion method. Moreover, the antioxidant properties were evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay method. Perillyl alcohol (13.08%) and phytone (12.64%) were the major compounds detected in the leaves and roots of Cyphostemma adenocaule respectively. Whereas, nootkatone was the principal compound detected in the leaves (30.12%) and roots (26.52%) of Ziziphus spinachristi. The antibacterial activity results showed that, the EOs of Cyphostemma adenocaule and Ziziphus spinachristi displayed the highest inhibition zones against Streptococcus pyogenes (13.67 ± 0.34 and 12.67 ± 0.10 mm respectively) at 10 mg/mL. The antioxidant activity of the EOs were also promising, and the strongest IC50 value (4.15 µg/mL) was calculated for Ziziphus spinachristi (leaves). Thus, the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of the EOs enlighten the use of these plants for the aforementioned activities and as a common ingredients in cosmetic applications.

The biosorption potential of kocho, a possible low-cost new biosorbent for the efficient removal of MB dye from wastewater was investigated. Biosorption experiments were carried out in batch mode to study the effects of biosorbent dosages (0.025-0.2 g), pH (2–10), initial concentrations of MB (10 to 100 mg/L) and contact time (10 to 120 min).The highest removal efficiency of methylene blue dye (94.2%) was recorded at optimum experimental conditions. Following the removal study, it was determined that the pseudo-second order kinetics (R2 = 0.997) and Langmuir isothermal (R 2= 0.996) models may well describe the MB dye biosorption process. Furthermore, this newly developed biosorbent was fairly recyclable up to five cycles without significant loss of re-adsorption efficiency (around 9.6% loss) between 1st and 5th cycle. Thus, the findings of this study revealed that a new kocho biosorbent derived from Ensete ventricosum can be used as a promising low-cost, environmentally friendly and efficient biosorbent for the rapid removal of MB from aqueous solutions.

The CuO/rGO nanocomposite has a well-defined and homogeneous structure, decreased crystal size, and uniformly distributed CuO nanoparticles tethered to the rGO. X-Ray diffraction confirms the fabrication of 15.1 nm crystalline monoclinic CuO nanoparticles. EDX confirms the composite's composition by detecting Cu, O, and C components. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization (LSV) tests evaluate the CuO/rGO nanocomposite's corrosion resistance. A mild steel plate under an HCl electrolyte with corrosion in the PPM ratio treats the nanocomposite-coated substrate. The composite's synergistic effect is assessed by comparing its corrosion performance to CuO/rGO concentrations in ppm. The corrosion resistance data demonstrate that the CuO/rGO composite improves with inhibitor concentrations of 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 ppm. Adding rGO to the composite protects it and speeds up charge transfer, reducing corrosion and improving stability. The composite's synergistic effect of CuO and rGO provides excellent corrosion resistance regardless of concentration, making it a viable material for corrosion-prone applications. The research develops novel and effective anti-corrosion methods to preserve materials in the food, automotive, and large-scale energy industries.
