Multi-competitive interaction of As(III) and As(V) oxyanions with Ca(2+), Mg(2+), PO(3-)(4), and CO(2-)(3) ions on goethite

Complex systems, simulating natural conditions like in groundwater, have rarely been studied, since measuring and in particular, modeling of such systems is very challenging. In this paper, the adsorption of the oxyanions of As(III) and As(V) on goethite has been studied in presence of various inorganic macro-elements (Mg(2+), Ca(2+), PO(3-)(4), CO(2-)(3)). We have used 'single-,' 'dual-,' and 'triple-ion' systems. The presence of Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) has no significant effect on As(III) oxyanion (arsenite) adsorption in the pH range relevant for natural groundwater (pH 5-9). In contrast, both Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) promote the adsorption of PO(3-)(4). A similar (electrostatic) effect is expected for the Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) interaction with As(V) oxyanions (arsenate). Phosphate is a major competitor for arsenate as well as arsenite. Although carbonate may act as competitor for both types of As oxyanions, the presence of significant concentrations of phosphate makes the interaction of (bi)carbonate insignificant. The data have been modeled with the charge distribution (CD) model in combination with the extended Stern model option. In the modeling, independently calculated CD values were used for the oxyanions. The CD values for these complexes have been obtained from a bond valence interpretation of MO/DFT (molecular orbital/density functional theory) optimized geometries. The affinity constants (logK) have been found by calibrating the model on data from 'single-ion' systems. The parameters are used to predict the ion adsorption behavior in the multi-component systems. The thus calibrated model is able to predict successfully the ion concentrations in the mixed 2- and 3-component systems as a function of pH and loading. From a practical perspective, data as well as calculations show the dominance of phosphate in regulating the As concentrations. Arsenite (As(OH)(3)) is often less strongly bound than arsenate (AsO(3-)(4)) but arsenite responses less strongly to changes in the phosphate concentration compared to arsenate, i.e., deltalogc(As(III))/deltalogc(PO(4)) approximately 0.4 and deltalogc(As(V))/deltalogc(PO(4)) approximately 0.9 at pH 7. Therefore, the response of As in a sediment on a change in redox conditions will be variable and will depend on the phosphate concentration level.

An efficient synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-pyrimidinones and -thiones using ferric perchlorate as the catalyst from an aldehyde, ethyl acetoacetate, and urea or thiourea in acetonitrile was described. Compared to the classical Biginelli reaction conditions, this new method consistently has the advantage of full catalysis, good yields and short reaction time.     

Usage of Artificial Neural Network (Back Propagation) in Optimising Salicylic Acid Determination with Ferric(III) Nitrate

Abstract

The use of artificial neural networks (ANN) in optimizing salicylic acid (SA) determination is presented in this paper. A simple and rapid spectrophotometric method for salicylic acid (SA) determination was carried out based on the complexation of salicylic acid–ferric(III) nitrate, SAFe(III). The SA forms a stable purple complex with ferric(III) nitrate at pH 2.45. The useful dynamic linear range is 0.01–0.35 g/L. It has a maximum absorption at 524 nm and the stability is more than 50 hours. The results were used for artificial neural networks (ANNs) training to optimize data. For training and validation purposes, a back‐propagation (BP) artificial neural network (ANN) was used. The results showed that ANN technique was very effective and useful in broadening the limited dynamic linear response range mentioned to an extensive calibration response (0.01–0.70 g/L). It was found that a network with 22 hidden neurons was highly accurate in predicting the determination of SA. This network scores a summation of squared error (SSE) skill and low average predicted error of 0.0078 and 0.00427 g/L, respectively.     

Ferric perchlorate-mediated radical reactions of [60]fullerene

Transition-metal-salt-mediated radical reactions of fullerenes have attracted extensive attention as a new and important method for fullerene functionalization. The application of relatively cheap and easily available ferric perchlorate (Fe(ClO 4 ) 3 ) to the synthesis of [60]fullerene (C 60 ) has demonstrated remarkable advantages and afforded a series of novel fullerene derivatives. In this review we present our recent progress in this area and summarize the reactions of C 60 with malonate esters, β-keto esters, nitriles, aldehydes/ketones, and arylboronic acids in the presence of Fe(ClO 4 ) 3 to afford the C 60-fused disubstituted lactones, C 60-fused hemiketal, C 60-fused dihydrofuran, C 60-fused oxazoles, C 60-fused 1,3-dioxolanes, and fullerenyl boronic esters. The possible reaction mechanisms for the above-mentioned reactions are also described in detail.

Colorimetric detection of Fe3+/2+ and fluorescent detection of Al3+ in aqueous media: applications and DFT calculations

Abstract

A new multifunctional colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensor 1 for Fe^3+/2+ and Al³⁺ has been synthesized in the one-step procedure. The sensor 1 detected both Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ through the color change from yellow to brown and Al³⁺ via turn-on fluorescence. The binding stoichiometries of sensor 1 with Fe^3+/2+ and Al³⁺ were proposed to be 1:1 with the analyses of ESI-mass and Job plot. Importantly, the detection limits of 1 for Fe^3+/2+ (2.11 and 2.70 μM) and Al³⁺ (3.44 μM) were lower than the EPA guideline (5.37 μM) for Fe^3+/2+ and WHO guideline (7.41 μM) for Al³⁺. Compound 1 was used to quantify ferric species (Fe³⁺) in real samples. Moreover, the sensing processes for Fe^3+/2+ and Al³⁺ were proposed with the spectroscopic studies and theoretical calculations.     

Superoxide anion radical generation in the NaOH/H(2)O(2)/Fe(III) system: a spin trapping ESR study

Formation of free radical intermediates in a NaOH/H(2)O(2)/Fe(III) system has been studied by ESR spectroscopy in the presence of the spin trap 5,5-dimethy-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO). DMPO/O(2(*) ) (-) and DMPO/(*)OH signals were simultaneously detected in this system, but only the DMPO/(*)OH signal could be observed in the absence of Fe(III). Effects of pH values and Fe(III) concentrations on the ESR signal intensities were investigated in detail. Formation of DMPO/O(2(*) ) (-) adduct was inhibited by the addition of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase or nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT), and by chelating the Fe(III) with some chelators, including ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), and desferrioxamine (DFO). Deoxygenation from the NaOH/H(2)O(2)/Fe(III) mixture had a slight effect on the formation of DMPO/O(2(*) ) (-). DMPO/O(2(*) ) (-) signal was also detected from the NaOH/H(2)O(2)/Fe(II) mixture, but it can be totally suppressed under anaerobic conditions. Considering the hydrolysis of Fe(III) into polymerization iron species with oxide phases in the alkaline medium, Fe(2)O(3) was directly suspended into a mixture of NaOH/H(2)O(2) for comparison. Fortunately, the presence of Fe(2)O(3) suspension was found to be of benefit to the production of DMPO/O(2(*) ) (-). Influence of aging time of hydrolytic iron species on the superoxide anion radical generation was also studied. These results suggest that the generation of O(2(*) ) (-) from the NaOH/H(2)O(2)/Fe(III) system was probably caused by the heterogeneous surface catalysis initiated by hydrolytic iron species.     

On Tutte polynomial uniqueness of twisted wheels

A graph G is called T-unique if any other graph having the same Tutte polynomial as G is isomorphic to G. Recently, there has been much interest in determining T-unique graphs and matroids. For example, de Mier and Noy [A. de Mier, M. Noy, On graphs determined by their Tutte polynomials, Graphs Combin. 20 (2004) 105-119; A. de Mier, M. Noy, Tutte uniqueness of line graphs, Discrete Math. 301 (2005) 57-65] showed that wheels, ladders, Möbius ladders, square of cycles, hypercubes, and certain class of line graphs are all T-unique. In this paper, we prove that the twisted wheels are also T-unique.     

Bibliometric analysis and an overview of the application of the non-precious materials for pyrolysis reaction of plastic waste

Huge plastic consumption and depletion of fossil fuels are at the top of the world's environmental and energy challenges. The scientific community has tackled these issues through different approaches. Catalytic pyrolysis of plastic wastes to valuable products has been proved as a sustainable route which fits with the circular economy aspects. The design of catalytic materials is the central factor for performing the catalytic conversion of plastic wastes. This review aims to conduct a Bibliometric analysis of the pyrolysis of plastic wastes and non-precious-based catalysts by mapping research studies over the last fifty years. The analysis was developed via VOSviewer and RStudio tools. It showed the historical progress regarding plastic waste pyrolysis to produce valuable products and chemicals worldwide. The research shows that the top five countries with the highest citations and publications in this field were Spain, China, England, the USA and India. The Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis had the most comprehensive coverage of plastic waste. The relationship between the catalyst and the mechanism of plastic waste can influence the production yield and selectivity. The research gap and underrepresented research topics were identified, and previous research studies on developing non-precious-based catalysts that were most relevant to the current topic were reviewed and discussed. The challenges and perspectives on catalyst preparation and development for material complexity were critically discussed. Challenges of previous studies and directions for future research were provided. This report might guide the reader to take a general look at plastic waste valorization by pyrolysis and easily understand the main challenges.
