Effect-Based Identification of Hazardous Antibiotic Transformation Products after Water Chlorination.

Antibiotic transformation products (TPs) generated during water treatment can be considered as an environmental concern, since they can retain part of the bioactivity of the parent compound. Effect-directed analysis (EDA) was applied for the identification of bioactive intermediates of azithromycin (AZI) and ciprofloxacin (CFC) after water chlorination. Fractionation of samples allowed the identification of bioactive intermediates by measuring the antibiotic activity and acute toxicity, combined with an automated suspect screening approach for chemical analysis. While the removal of AZI was in line with the decrease of bioactivity in chlorinated samples, an increase of bioactivity after complete removal of CFC was observed (at >0.5 mgCl2/L). Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that some of the CFC intermediates could contribute to the overall toxicity of the chlorinated samples. Fractionation of bioactive samples identified that the chlorinated TP296 (generated from the destruction of the CFC piperazine ring) maintained 41%, 44%, and 30% of the antibiotic activity of the parent compound in chlorinated samples at 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 mgCl2/L, respectively. These results indicate the spectrum of antibacterial activity can be altered by controlling the chemical substituents and configuration of the CFC structure with chlorine. On the other hand, the potential presence of volatile DBPs and fractionation losses do not allow for tentative confirmation of the main intermediates contributing to the acute toxic effects measured in chlorinated samples. Our results encourage further development of new and advanced methodologies to study the bioactivity of isolated unknown TPs to understand their hazardous effects in treated effluents.

Adsorption and Corrosion Performance of New Cationic Gemini Surfactants Derivatives of Fatty Amido Ethyl Aminium Chloride with Ester Spacer for Mild Steel in Acidic Solutions.

Three new cationic gemini surfactants with ester spacer type 2-2′-(ethane-1,2-diyl bis(oxy)) bis(N-(2-alkanamidoethyl)-N,N-dimethyl-2-oxoethan-1-aminium)) dichloride) (CGSES12, CGSES14 and CGSES16), based on N,N-dimethyl fatty amido ethylamine, were produced. These gemini quaternary ammonium salts were synthesized using a three-step reaction method, starting from th/e condensation of the fatty acid chloride (RCOCl) of various hydrophobic chain lengths (R, C11H23, C13H27, C15H31) with N,N-dimethyl ethylene diamine, followed by the quaternization of the tertiary amino group formed with the spacer of the ester group formed in the second step. The chemical configuration of the surfactants was established by FT-IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR and Mass spectroscopies. The inhibition performance of three surfactants was studied by weight loss and electrochemical measurements. The results show that CGSES12, CGSES14 and CGSES16 behave as effective inhibitors and surface agents. The maximum efficiency was higher than 94% at 2.5 mM, and the inhibition order was CGSES16 > CGSES14 > CGSES12. This was due to the increment in hydrophobicity of the gemini surfactants. Their adsorption on a mild steel surface followed the Langmuir isotherm. CGSES12, CGSES14 and CGSES16 can be considered mixed-type inhibitors. The presence of CGSES12, CGSES14 and CGSES16 increased charge transfer resistance and decreased the corrosion rate. The adsorption focused on heteroatoms and the surface properties of cationic gemini surfactants.

Potential of Chrysin‐loaded PCL/gelatin nanofibers for modulation of macrophage functional polarity towards anti-inflammatory/pro-regenerative phenotype

Recent reports imply that drug delivery approaches aimed to modulate the phenotypic and functional switching of macrophages towards anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotypes have a great regenerative potential in wound healing. Therefore, the present work was designed to reveal the effectiveness of a nanofiber (NF)-based drug delivery system incorporated with a natural immunomodulatory agent, Chrysin (CHR) to repolarize RAW264.7 macrophage cells from M1 to M2 phenotype. In this regard, CHR-polycaprolactone (PCL)/gelatin (GEL) NFs were obtained by electrospinning and characterized for morphology, chemical configuration, mechanical properties, and drug release profile. Through MTT assay, it was revealed noticeably higher cell survival on 15% (wt:wt%) CHR-NFs compared to neat PCL/GEL and 5% CHR-PCL/GEL mat (p < 0.05) after 3 days of incubation. According to the Western blotting and qPCR assay, A decrease in iNOS-2 and an increment in Arg-1 expression were observed in the cells cultured on CHR-PCL/GEL NFs, signifying the significant repolarization of the M1 cells toward M2 state. Besides, it was found a major reduction in the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators while the levels of growth factors associated with M2 phenotype were significantly upregulated. Conclusively, CHR-loaded PCL/GEL NFs may have an advantageous potential for efficient modulation of the macrophage polarity toward a pro-regenerative/anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype.

Metagenomic Insight Towards Vanillin-Mediated Membrane Biofouling Prevention: In Silico Docking Validation.

Biofouling leads to water quality deterioration and higher maintenance cost for cleaning of membranes. The present study has demonstrated the application of a biomolecule (vanillin) in scrubbing and destabilizing biofilms of drinking water reverse osmosis (RO) membrane module in lab scale reactor set-up. Reverse osmosis membrane reactor was connected with tap water supply and subjected with optimal concentration of vanillin. The pressure drop was delayed by 17-20days as compared to control reactor. Real-time PCR analysis of metagenome indicated the reduced copy number of functional biofilm-associated genes (bdlA, lasI, pgaC) in treated membrane. SEM and metagenome analysis revealed that the sticky biofilm communities shifted to loosely bound emboli after vanillin treatment. Metagenome sequence analysis revealed the inhibitory activity against major biofouling biota like members of Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Acnitobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Candidatus, Nitrospira, and Firmicutes. Biofouled membrane metagenome sequence was also compared with real-life (brackish water, waste water, domestic drinking water) biofouled membrane communities. In silico docking of vanillin to receptor proteins and chemical configuration simulation along with other phenolic derivatives were performed, which suggested that the autoiducer signal capability of vanillin was effective against representative broad spectrum biofilm population. Vanillin exhibited the quorum-quenching mode of action by virtue of docking towards similar amino acid (Thr 131, Ilu 214) responsible of autoinducer signal anchoring in the transcriptional regulatory proteins.

Characterization of Catalysts by Advanced Scanning Probe Microscopy and Spectroscopy

AbstractConsidering that there is a shortage of sustainable resources and that serious environmental issues need to be solved, the development of efficient catalysts has attracted a lot attention globally for energy saving and environmental improvement. In the last few decades, great progresses have been made in terms of fabrication and application of catalysts, however, systematic characterization with advanced technology and methods that enable researchers to have a detailed understanding of the catalysts’ properties and catalytic reactions, especially where an interface is present, are still limited. This Review focusses on the applications of advanced Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) and Spectroscopy techniques for the characterization of catalytic materials and their related reactions. A detailed description of advanced SPM and Spectroscopy techniques is introduced, followed by their applications in the characterization of surfaces and properties of common ordered catalytic materials including some coordination polymers and metal oxides. Various properties of these catalytic materials, such as conductivity, piezoelectricity, nanomechanics, photoresponse, and others, characterized by SPM and Spectroscopy are discussed. Subsequently, we introduce the high‐resolution imaging of chemical reactions and bond configuration by high‐resolution non‐contact Atomic Force Microscopy (NC‐AFM). Finally, the challenges involved in the development of SPM and Spectroscopy and an outlook for future research are presented. This Review provides fundamental insights into the characterization of heterogeneous catalysts and viewpoints to the development of smart catalytic materials.

The algorithm of development safe methods for depositing metallic coatings by CVD-method of organometallic compounds

The CVD-method of organometallic compounds is a universal method of obtaining functional metal coatings on substrates of various chemical composition and configuration. The essence of the method is the evaporation (sublimation) of the organometallic compound in the reactor of the metallization unit and the deposition of metal on the substrate heated to the decomposition temperature of the initial reagent. This article presents the results of research work group of authors to create the algorithm of development safe methods foe depositing metallic coatings by CVD-method. The increase of the industrial safety of metallization is achieved due to automation of the process, equipping the plant for the application of metal coatings with locking and alarm systems. The ecological nature of the CVD-method, in which extremely hazardous substances were used as initial reagents, was ensured by sealing equipment and conducting the process in a closed cycle with the possibility of re-use of the reagents. This eliminated the flow of pollutants into the environment and allowed the implementation of the principles of resource and energy conservation.

Data-Driven Modelling of the Complex Interaction between Flocculant Properties and Floc Size and Structure

Polymeric flocculants are widely used due to their ability to efficiently promote flocculation at low dosages. However, fundamental background knowledge about how they act and interact with the substrates is often scarce, or insufficient to infer the best chemical configuration for treating a specific effluent. Inductive, data-driven approaches offer a viable solution, enabling the development of effective solutions for each type of effluent, overcoming the knowledge gap. In this work, we present such an inductive workflow that combines the statistical design of experiments and predictive modelling, and demonstrates its effectiveness in the development of anionic polymeric flocculants for the treatment of a real effluent from the potato crisps manufacturing industry. Based on the results presented, it is possible to conclude that the hydrodynamic diameter, charged fraction and concentration are the parameters with a stronger influence on the characteristics of flocs obtained when using copolymers, while the charged fraction, concentration and hydrophobic content present a stronger influence on the characteristics of flocs obtained using terpolymers containing a hydrophobic monomer.

Controllable Synthesis of Co@CoOx/Helical Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes toward Oxygen Reduction Reaction as Binder-free Cathodes for Al-Air Batteries.

Efficient and stable electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction and freestanding electrode structure were developed to reduce the use of polymer binders in the cathode of metal-air batteries. Considering the unique geometrical configurations of helical carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and improved properties compared with straight CNTs, we prepared high-purity Co@CoOx/helical nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (Co@CoOx/HNCNTs) on a carbon fiber paper by hydrothermal and single-step in situ chemical vapor deposition strategies. Under an optimized growth time (1 h), the synthesized Co@CoOx/HNCNTs provide richer edge defects and active sites and show prominent electrocatalytic performance toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) under alkaline media compared with Co@CoOx/HNCNTs-0.5 h and Co@CoOx/HNCNTs-2 h. The soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy technique is used to investigate the influences of different growth times on the electronic structure and local chemical configuration of Co@CoOx/HNCNTs. Furthermore, the Al-air coin cell employing Co@CoOx/HNCNTs-1 h as the binder-free cathode exhibits an open-circuit voltage of 1.48 V, a specific capacity of 367.31 mA h g-1 at the discharge current density of 1.0 mA cm-2, and a maximum power density (Pmax) of 3.86 mW cm-2, which are superior to those of Co@CoOx/HNCNTs-0.5 h and Co@CoOx/HNCNTs-2 h electrodes. This work provides valuable insights into the development of scalable binder-free cathodes, exploiting HNCNT composite materials with an outstanding electrocatalytic performance for ORR in Al-air systems.

Effects of structural differences on the antibacterial activity of biflavonoids from fruits of the Brazilian peppertree (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi)

Flavonoids, synthesized by plants across all families and therefore found in a huge variety, possess a diverse range of pharmacological properties. Direct antibacterial and synergistic activities as well as the inhibition of several bacterial virulence factors are known. Besides the mode of action, it is important to understand the structure-activity relationship to identify key structural characteristics.This study aimed to identify biflavonoids with antibacterial activity from Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi fruits. The purified biflavonoids were characterized in terms of their antibacterial effects. We found that the activity of biflavonoids, including agathisflavone (AGF), amentoflavone (AMF), and tetrahydroamentoflavone (THAF), was dependent on their chemical configuration and degree of oxidation, with THAF showing the highest activity on planktonic cells. Additionally, biofilm formation and composition were strongly influenced by THAF.Even slight differences in the chemical structure have fundamental effects on the activity of isolated biflavonoids. This suggests a specific binding of these substances in bacteria and thus enables detailed investigations of the mode of action in the future.

Hidden Fine Structure of Quantum Defects Revealed by Single Carbon Nanotube Magneto-Photoluminescence.

Organic color-center quantum defects in semiconducting carbon nanotube hosts are rapidly emerging as promising candidates for solid-state quantum information technologies. However, it is unclear whether these defect color-centers could support the spin or pseudospin-dependent excitonic fine structure required for spin manipulation and readout. Here we conducted magneto-photoluminescence spectroscopy on individual organic color-centers and observed the emergence of fine structure states under an 8.5 T magnetic field applied parallel to the nanotube axis. One to five fine structure states emerge depending on the chirality of the nanotube host, nature of chemical functional group, and chemical binding configuration, presenting an exciting opportunity toward developing chemical control of magnetic brightening. We attribute these hidden excitonic fine structure states to field-induced mixing of singlet excitons trapped at sp3 defects and delocalized band-edge triplet excitons. These findings provide opportunities for using organic color-centers for spintronics, spin-based quantum computing, and quantum sensing.

ChemStor: Using Formal Methods To Guarantee Safe Storage and Disposal of Chemicals.

While safe chemical storage and disposal are simple in principle-users should read safety specifications and place chemicals in appropriate cabinets or collection points-high-profile incidents involving improper storage and disposal of chemicals continue to occur. This paper introduces ChemStor, an open-source, automated computational system that can guarantee (mathematically verify a system is correct with respect to its specification), with regard to prescribed constraints, safe storage and disposal of chemicals used in academic, industrial, and domestic settings. ChemStor borrows concepts from formal methods-a branch of computer science capable of mathematically proving a specification or software is correct-to safely store or dispose of chemicals. If two or more chemicals can be combined in the same cabinet without forming possibly dangerous combinations of chemicals (while observing cabinet/shelf space constraints), then ChemStor determines that the storage configuration is safe. Likewise, if chemicals can be added to an existing disposal container without forming possibly dangerous combinations of chemicals (or exceeding the volume of the container), then ChemStor determines that the disposal configuration is safe. ChemStor accomplishes this by first building a chemical interaction graph, a graph that describes which chemicals may interact with each other based on their reactivity groups as determined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Next, ChemStor computes the chromatic number of the graph, the smallest number of colors used to color the graph such that no two vertices (chemicals) that share an edge (an interaction) share the same color. ChemStor then assigns all the chemicals of each color to a storage or disposal container after confirming that there is enough space in the container. These steps are encoded into a series of satisfiability modulo theory equations, and ChemStor uses an industry-standard tool to try to find a valid solution to these equations. The result is either a solution which dictates exactly where to store or dispose of each chemical, or an indication that no safe storage or disposal configuration could be found. To demonstrate the feasibility of ChemStor, we used the tool to analyze ten real-world chemical storage and disposal incidents that led to injuries or destruction of property. In each case, ChemStor quickly and successfully identified a proper chemical disposal or storage configuration that would have prevented the incident. In the future, ChemStor may be integrated with electronic laboratory notebooks, voice assistants, and other emerging technology to protect users of chemicals in labs, workplaces, and homes.

Rational Ionothermal Copolymerization of TCNQ with PCN Semiconductor for Enhanced Photocatalytic Full Water Splitting.

Photocatalytic full water splitting remains the perfect way to generate oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) gases driven by sunlight to address the future environmental issues as well as energy demands. Owing to its exceptional properties, polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) has been one of the most widely investigated semiconductor photocatalysts. Nevertheless, blank PCN characteristically displays restrained photocatalytic performance due to high-density defects in its framework that may perhaps perform the part of the recombination midpoint for photoproduced electron-hole pairs. Therefore, to overcome this problem, a simple approach to introduce 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) with an electron-withdrawing characteristic modifier into the pristine PCN framework by the ionothermal method to enhance its optical, conductive, and photocatalytic properties has been undertaken. Results show that such integration of TCNQ results in the delocalization of the π-conjugated structure; significant changes in its chemical electronic configuration, band gap, and surface area; and enhanced production of electrons under visible light. As a result of this facile integration, our best sample (CNU-TCNQ9.0) produced a hydrogen evolution rate (HER) of 164.6 μmol h-1 for H2 and an oxygen evolution rate (OER) of 14.8 μmol h-1 for O2, which were found to be 2.4- and 2.6-fold greater than those produced with pure carbon nitride (CNU) sample, respectively. Hence, this work provides a reasonable alternative method to synthesize and design novel CNU-TCNQ backbone photocatalyst for organic photosynthesis, CO2 reduction, hydrogen evolution, etc.

Sterculia Gum: Chemical Structure, Composition and Physico-Chemical Properties

Physico-chemical properties are crucial characteristics of hydrocolloids as they decide the applicability of them. Rheology of system, flow behaviour and mechanical properties make hydrocolloids suitable for food industry. Modification of consistency or texture properties of functional polymers also controls their sensory characteristics, thereby they become significant essences such as thickener, gelling agents, foaming agent, texture modifier, viscosifier, emulsifier, stabilizer and binder. Industrial and pharmaceutical applications are also controlled by some suitable physico-chemical properties of hydrocolloids. The polysaccharide gum exudates constitute a architecturally distinct class of complex biomacromolecules having unique physico-chemical properties. Due to their good bio/tissue compatibility, non-toxicity, they are extensively used in the field of tissue engineering, drug delivery and wound healing. Chemical and molecular architecture of hydrocolloids in turn controls their physico-chemical and functional properties. Sterculia gum is a substituted rhamnogalacturonoglycan (pectic) type exudate gum used as suspending agent, gelling agents, emulsifier, bulk laxative, dental adhesive, drug delivery agent and wound healing agent. It exhibits high water retention capacity, high viscosity and least solubility. Solutions of sterculia gum are viscoelastic and thixotropic. Sterculia gum has been recommended as effective wound dressing material as it can form a intensely adhesive gel when dispersed in minimum ammount of water. Owing to wide applications and distinctive properties of sterculia gum, present work is an endeavor to summarize the molecular organization, chemical configuration and physico-chemical properties of sterculia gum and the factors affecting physico-chemical properties of sterculia gum.

Hydrothermal synthesis and characterization studies of α-Fe2O3/MnO2 nanocomposites for energy storage supercapacitor application

In this present study, semiconductor magnetic α-Fe2O3/MnO2 nanocomposites (NCs) were prepared by a facile hydrothermal (HT) method. The crystallographic structure, morphology, chemical configuration and magnetic features were analysed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), high resolution scanning electron microscope (HR-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) analyses. The as-prepared NCs were used as an electrode in energy storing supercapacitor was systematically examined. The electrochemical deeds of α-Fe2O3/MnO2 NCs was analysed by cyclic voltammetry (C–V) and galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD) tests. The CV analysis of the NCs electrode showed a distinctive pseudocapacitive behaviour in 1 M KOH solution. The NCs electrode reveals enhanced specific capacitance compared to plain α-Fe2O3 and MnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and generates high specific capacitance of 216.35 Fg−1. Pseudocapacitor obtains of energy density 135.42 Wh kg−1 at power density of 6.399 kW kg−1, indicating the as-prepared α-Fe2O3/MnO2 NCs shows noteworthy high-energy, specific capacitance, power densities and long-standing cyclic stability with 89.2% of preliminary capacitance reserved at 1A g−1 after 10000 cycles in judgement with the pure α-Fe2O3 and MnO2 NPs electrode. The α-Fe2O3/MnO2 NCs electrode having noteworthy electrochemical characteristics performance renders promising applications in energy storing systems.

Plant-Pathogen Interactions: Underestimated Roles of Phyto-oxylipins.

Plant (or phyto-) oxylipins (POs) are produced under a wide range of stress conditions and although they are well known to activate stress-related signalling pathways, the nonsignalling roles of POs are poorly understood. We describe oxylipins as direct biocidal agents and propose that structure-function relationships play here a pivotal role. Based on their chemical configuration, POs, such as reactive oxygen and electrophile species, activate defence-related gene expression. We also propose that their ability to interact with pathogen membranes is important, but still misunderstood, and that they are involved in cross-kingdom communication. Taken as a whole, the current literature suggests that POs have a high potential as biocontrol agents. However, the mechanisms underlying these multifaceted compounds remain largely unknown.

Easy-to-use model to reveal the nature of octahedral rotation transformations in perovskites

Octahedral rotation in perovskites and their transformations have a profound influence on their properties. In this work, an easy-to-use model is proposed to reveal the nature of the oxygen octahedral rotation (OOR) changing behaviors at interfacial regions. Different from first principle simulations and symmetry analysis, we establish a general elastic model with a six angle symbol system based on the intrinsic geometry characteristics of the oxygen octahedra network. In the light of the elastic energy generated by octahedral tilting mismatches at interfaces, the systematic analysis is conducted on the changing behavior and mechanism of octahedral rotation with different OOR patterns. Consequently, it is found that there are two forms of basic component angle changing across the interface, i.e. abrupt change and gradual change, depending on the relationship between the directions of the rotational axis of basic component angles and the interface. Furthermore, the coexistence of two forms at the same interface and a special case for gradual change are investigated, which could hardly be identified or predicted by other models and analysis established previously. Generally, the model can be applied to interpret and predict the octahedral rotation changing behavior in perovskites, involving film/substrate heterostructure in epitaxial synthesized thin films, domain boundaries, etc., which agree with the practical examples. Although the model has its limitations due to the complex chemical configuration in 3D oxygen octahedra network, it is expected to be universal for perovskites. Taking the advantage of mathematical simplicity, this model can be a powerful tool for interfacial engineering in perovskites.

Characterization of lactobionic acid evidencing its potential for food industry application

AbstractThe chemical configuration of the lactobionic acid (LBA) evidences its potential properties, among which the antioxidant, antimicrobial, and chelating activities stand out in the literature. However, few studies aim at testing and confirming them. The purpose of this study was to determine some selected LBA properties, whose characteristics are of interest for its use as an ingredient in foodstuffs. The discussion followed the results of Fourier‐Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X‐ray diffractometry (XRD), 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, 2,2′‐azino‐bis(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical, thermogravimetric/derivative thermogravimetry (TGA/DTG), minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) by the diffusion disk test, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and iron/calcium chelating methodologies. The XRD analysis revealed the presence of an amorphous halo and the absence of defined peaks, a fact possibly related to its high hygroscopicity. The FTIR showed characteristic bands of the LBA structure. Results from TGA/DG verified the LBA thermal degradation, which evidenced that LBA could participate in most food industry unit processes within the first mass loss event. Antioxidant capacity reached a maximum inhibition of 56% for LBA and the chelating capacity of the iron ion achieved 54% of chelated ions, while the calcium ions reached 15%. The results revealed high potential of LBA application for microbial inhibition, moisture retention, and texture maintenance throughout storage of food products.Practical ApplicationsDespite the potential of application of the LBA, few quantitative results demonstrate its ability of action in food. Even without permission in most countries around the world, more research with LBA will encourage the investigation of its toxicology, expanding the areas of application. Its thermal degradation profile and elevated solubility demonstrated the potential of LBA as food ingredient, performing moreover as antioxidant, chelating agent, antimicrobial, and texturizer. The results open the possibilities for many applications in the field of food chemistry and food industry.

Uranium ions extraction from the waste solution by thiosemicarbazide anchored cellulose acetate

ABSTRACT The adsorption of uranium from nitrate waste solution was undertaken by the synthesised thiosemicarbazide functionalised cellulose acetate (TSCCA) adsorbent, which prepared via a condensation reaction of oxidised cellulose acetate (OCA) and thiosemicarbazide (TSC). TSCCA was examined using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analyses, Fourier Transformation Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) characterisation approaches. The thermal analysis was performed through Therrmal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) showing much stable chemical configuration at about ≥ 400 ◦C. Batch tests were conducted to assess the routine of TSCCA in uranium extraction. The influence of pH, the TSCCA amount, contact time, uranium concentration and temperature were scrutinised. The removal capacity of U(VI) after 90 min. using TSCCA adsorbent at 25 ◦C was estimated as 125 mg/g at pH 2. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were evaluated for experimental equilibrium data. The Langmuir adsorption model was best fitted with experimental assessments. The kinetic data was analysed, and a pseudo-first order design was decided to fit all applications. The calculated thermodynamic parameters illustrates the adsorption of uranium ions onto TSCCA is endothermic, non-spontaneous and random. The regeneration efficiency of TSCCA was found to be 99% using 0.1 M Na2CO3. The removal efficiency didn’t change significantly when eight adsorption-desorption cycles were experimentally conducted.
