The present study aimed to develop a carbon dots-based fluorescence (FL) sensor that can detect more than one pollutant simultaneously in the same aqueous solution. The carbon dots-based FL sensor has been prepared by employing a facile hydrothermal method using citric acid and ethylenediamine as precursors. The as-synthesized CDs displayed excellent hydrophilicity, good photostability and blue fluorescence under UV light. They have been used as an efficient “turn-off” FL sensor for dual sensing of Fe3+ and Hg2+ ions in an aqueous medium with high sensitivity and selectivity through a static quenching mechanism. The lowest limit of detection (LOD) for Fe3+ and Hg2+ ions was found to be 0.406 µM and 0.934 µM, respectively over the concentration range of 0-50 µM. Therefore, the present work provides an effective strategy to monitor the concentration of Fe3+ and Hg2+ ions simultaneously in an aqueous medium using environment-friendly CDs.
The surface-modified iron nanoparticles (S-INP) were synthesized, characterized and tested for the remediation of arsenite
(As(III)), a well known toxic groundwater contaminant of concern. The S-INP material was fully dispersed in the aqueous phase
with a particle size distribution of 2–10 nm estimated from high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that an Fe(III) oxide surface film was present on S-INP in addition to the bulk
zero-valent Fe0 oxidation state. Transport of S-INP through porous media packed in 10 cm length column showed particle breakthroughs of 22.1,
47.4 and 60 pore volumes in glass beads, unbaked sand, and baked sand, respectively. Un-modified INP was immobile and aggregated
on porous media surfaces in the column inlet area. Results using S-INP pretreated 10 cm sand-packed columns containing ∼2 g
of S-INP showed that 100 % of As(III) was removed from influent solutions (flow rate 1.8 mL min−1) containing 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0 mg L−1 As(III) for 9, 7 and 4 days providing 23.3, 20.7 and 10.4 L of arsenic free water, respectively. In addition, it was found
that 100% of As(III) in 0.5 mg/L solution (flow rate 1.8 mL min−1) was removed by S-INP pretreated 50 cm sand packed column containing 12 g of S-INP for more than 2.5 months providing 194.4
L of arsenic free water. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) showed S-INP had transformed to elongated, rod-like
shaped corrosion product particles after reaction with As(III) in the presence of sand. These results suggest that S-INP has
great potential to be used as a mobile, injectable reactive material for in-situ sandy groundwater aquifer treatment of As(III). 相似文献
The EPR spectrum of the novel radical Mes*(CH3)P--PMes* (Mes*=2,4,6-(tBu)3C6H2) was measured in the temperature range 100-300 K, and was found to be drastically temperature dependent as a result of the large anisotropy of the 31P hyperfine tensors. Below 180 K, a spectrum of the liquid solution is accurately simulated by calculating the spectral modifications due to slow tumbling of the radical. To achieve this simulation, an algorithm was developed by extending the well-known nitroxide slow-motion simulation technique for the coupling of one electron spin to two nuclear spins. An additional dynamic process responsible for the observed line broadening was found to occur between 180 K and room temperature; this broadening is consistent with an exchange between two conformations. The differences between the isotropic 31P couplings associated with the two conformers are shown to be probably due to an internal rotation about the P--P bond. 相似文献
Several 4-(arylaminothiocarbonyl)-1-(1-o-methoxyphenylcarbamido)-ethylpiperazines were synthesized and evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity against pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures in mice. The ability of substituted piperazines to inhibit in vitro respiratory activity of rat brain homogenates was also determined to study their structure-activity relationship. 相似文献
Freezing temperatures of dilute aqueous solutions of ethyl acetate and mixtures with myo-inositol, D-mannitol, formamide, 1,3,5-trioxane, 1,4-dioxane, acetamide, hexamethylenetetramine, and methyl formate have been measured. In addition, freezing temperatures of dilute aqueous solutions of methyl formate and mixtures with the above solutes have been measured. From these data, the pairwise molecular Gibbs energies of interaction between the molecules were calculated. Using the additivity principle, the pairwise functional group Gibbs energies of interaction were calculated for ester group interactions with a variety of other functional groups. 相似文献
Summary Triisopropoxy bis(O,O-dialkyl dithiophosphates), (i-PrO)3M[S2P(OR)2]2 (M = Nbv, Tav; R = n-Pr, i-Pr, i-Bu and Ph) have been prepared by reacting the appropriate triisopropoxymetal(V)dichloride, (i-PrO)3MCl2 (1 mol) with sodium/ammonium dialkyl dithiophosphates (2 mols)in THF. The monomeric products which are viscous liquids, soluble in common organic solvents and highly susceptible to hydrolysis, were characterized by i.r. and n.m.r. spectra which indicate a bidentate mode of attachment of dithiophosphato groups to the metal. 相似文献
This paper presents an analysis of diffraction effects taking place at different Schlieren diffracting elements. Two types
of diffraction effects are prominent in the Schlieren schemes. One is diffraction of direct light (source image) at the Schlieren
element, which limits the sensitivity and resolution of Schlieren systems. The second type is the diffraction of light deflected
from the test object at the Schlieren-diffracting element. This second type of diffraction degrades the quality of Schlieren
results. Experimental results showing the effect of diffraction of light deflected from the test object at a phase knife-edge,
corner of a square phase aperture and an optical fiber tip as Schlieren diffracting elements have been presented and discussed.

Imidazole derivatives, namely, 1-((1-(piperazinomethyl)-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)methyl)-2-phenylhydrazine (PBIP), and 1-((1-(morpholinomethyl)-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)methyl)-2-phenylhydrazine (MBIP) were synthesized and investigated as inhibitors for mild steel corrosion in 15% HCl solution using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. It was found that the inhibition efficiency of both the inhibitors increases with increase in concentration of inhibitors and decreases with increase in temperature. The inhibitors, PBIP and MBIP, show corrosion inhibition efficiency of 92.6% and 91.4% at 300 ppm concentration, respectively, at 303 K. Polarization studies showed that both the studied inhibitors were of mixed type in nature. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were performed for surface study of uninhibited and inhibited mild steel samples. The semi-empirical AM1 method was employed for theoretical calculations. 相似文献
