Efficient Vortex-assisted Extraction of Phorbol Esters from Jatropha Leaves and Correlation Between Leaves and Seeds in Phorbol EstersContent

ABSTRACT This work aimed to optimise and validate the vortex-assisted extraction with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) method to quantify phorbol esters (PEs) in Jatropha leaves. Additionally, to evaluate the correlation between PEs content in leaves and seeds. The results of PEs content were expressed as equivalent of the major Jatropha phorbol ester, 12-deoxy-16-hydroxyphorbol-4'-[12',14'-butadienyl]-6'-[16',18',20'-nonatrienyl]-bicyclo[3.1.0]-hexane-(13-O)-2'-[carboxylate]-(16-O)-3'-]8'-butenoic-10']ate (DHPB) . One-variable-at-time strategy and 25-1V factorial fractional design were employed to determine the effects of solvent type, volume, stirring frequency, extraction time and cycles on yield. The quantification was performed using HPLC-UV. The optimum conditions were three extractions with 2% tetrahydrofuran:dichloromethane (1:1) in methanol (THF:DCM/MeOH). The sample:solvent ratio was 1 mg:25 μL, and the vortex stirring was 2200 rpm for 5 minutes. The method showed good linearity (R2 0.999), recoveries (97 to 105%), selectivity and repeatability (RSD 1.93-7.95%). In addition, good limits of detection and quantification of 2.19 and 6.65 ng μL"1, respectively, were noted. DHPB content in leaves and seeds ranged from 0.01 to 0.38 mg g"1 and 0.41 to 1.82 mg g"1, respectively. There is a statistically significant and positive linear relationship between leaves and seeds for DHPB content. These results may have practical application in analysing and predicting the amount of PEs in Jatropha leaves for environmental safety studies and the selection of better varieties for genetic improvement. Keywords: correlation, Jatropha leaves; Jatropha seeds; phorbol esters; vortex-assisted.

Significance of thermodynamics and rheological characteristics of dope solutions on the morphological evolution of polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranes

AbstractHerein, the effect of solvent type and polymer concentration on the thermodynamic and viscoelastic properties, and performance of polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes are investigated. The morphology and mechanical properties of the membranes are examined too. Rheological measurements indicated that solidification and instantaneous demixing occurred fast for PES/N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone (NMP) dope solution. This resulted in a dense skin layer with a finger‐like structure confirmed by the scanning electron microscopy images. In comparison, PES/dimethylformamide (DMF) exhibited a delayed solidification and demixing with a sponge‐like structure. Rheological characteristics and ternary phase diagrams of two systems are examined to gain insights and make correlations with the morphology of resultant membranes. Performance analysis revealed that membranes derived from PES/NMP system exhibited both improved pure water flux and bovine serum albumin rejection suggesting the superiority of NMP compared to DMF as the solvent of choice for the preparation of PES UF membranes.

A Comparative Study on Phenolic Content, Antioxidant Activity and Anti-Inflammatory Capacity of Aqueous and Ethanolic Extracts of Sorghum in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced RAW 264.7 Macrophages.

Sorghum is an important cereal with diverse phenolic compounds that have potential health promoting benefits. The current study comparatively characterized the phenolic contents of two novel black-seeded sorghum lines (SC84 and PI570481) using different extraction systems (water, ethanol and their acidified counterparts) and evaluated their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Phenolic compositions were determined by spectrophotometric assays and HPLC analysis. Antioxidant activities were assessed by radical scavenging effects on nitric oxide (NO) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals, and the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). Anti-inflammatory capacity was estimated by measuring levels of pro-inflammatory markers produced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages. Results showed that effects of solvent types and HCl on extraction efficiency differed among phenolic compounds and sorghum samples. Tannins were the most dominant polyphenols in the studied extracts (11.11–136.11 mg epicatechin equivalent/g sorghum). Sorghum extracts exerted more potent scavenging activity on DPPH than NO radicals. In LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells, sorghum extracts dose-dependently inhibited the production of NO, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), with ethanolic extracts showing greater anti-inflammatory activity. Positive correlations were noted between tannin content and DPPH radical scavenging activity, and anti-inflammatory capacity. These results suggest the potential role of tannin-rich sorghum extracts against inflammation and associated diseases.

Delivery of apigenin-loaded magnetic Fe2O3/Fe3O4@mSiO2 nanocomposites to A549 cells and their antitumor mechanism

This study introduces a mesoporous magnetic nano-system for the delivery of apigenin (API). A targeted therapeutic drug delivery system was prepared based on Fe2O3/Fe3O4@mSiO2-HA nanocomposites. Magnetic Fe2O3/Fe3O4 heterogeneous nanoparticles were first prepared via the rapid-combustion process. The effects of solvent type, solvent volume, calcination temperature, and calcination time on the crystal size and magnetism of the Fe2O3/Fe3O4 heterogeneous nanoparticles were investigated. The mesoporous silica shell was deposited on the Fe2O3/Fe3O4 heterogeneous nanoparticles using an improved Stöber method. HA was exploited as the targeting ligand. The specific surface area of the Fe2O3/Fe3O4@mSiO2 nanocomposites was 369.6 m2/g, which is 19 times higher than that of the magnetic Fe2O3/Fe3O4 heterogeneous nanoparticle cores. Drug release properties from the Fe2O3/Fe3O4@mSiO2-HA nanocomposites were studied, and the result showed that API-loaded nano-system had sustained release effect. Prussian blue staining and electrochemical performance variation showed that an external magnetic field facilitated cell uptake of Fe2O3/Fe3O4@mSiO2-HA nanocomposites. MTT assays showed that the cell inhibition effect of API-Fe2O3/Fe3O4@mSiO2-HA was stronger than that of free API at the same drug dose under a magnetic field and Fe2O3/Fe3O4@mSiO2-HA nanocomposites showed good biocompatibility. Fluorescence imaging, flow cytometry, western blot, reactive oxygen species (ROS), Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) kits verified that the enhanced therapeutic action was due to the promotion of apoptosis, lipid peroxidation, and ferroptosis. The magnetic nano-system (Fe2O3/Fe3O4@mSiO2-HA) showed good magnetic targeting and active hyaluronic acid targeting, and has the potential to provide a targeted delivery platform for many antitumor drugs.

Solvent co-injection with steam-assisted gravity drainage process performance evaluation–New analytical treatment in relation to constant injection rate

Steam-based enhanced oil recovery methods like Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) for extracting extremely heavy oils and bitumen are energy intensive and require high steam volumes with steam generation resulting in significant greenhouse gas emission. The oil industry has resorted to adding solvent to steam aiming to overcome these limitations. A new analytical model is developed for describing solvent co-injection with steam (solvent-SAGD) process in relation to constant injection rate, for the first time, based on the combination of an overall solvent mass balance, heat balance and volumetric oil displacement and Darcy's oil rate using a mixture viscosity model as a function of temperature and solvent concentration ahead of a moving vapor-oil front which satisfy the equilibrium in the system. The objectives of this work are to evaluate the performance of the solvent-SAGD process by predicting; vapor chamber growth, oil production rate, solvent production rate, solvent loss (or solvent retention) rate, and the effect of solvent type and concentration on the process. The mechanism of oil recovery by steam with added solvent is not clear. Given the controversy regarding the use of solvents with steam, by developing the new mathematical approach, this study is intended to explain whether solvent-SAGD process increases oil recovery compared to SAGD or not. If any, which solvent results in better recovery. The results of this approach give a better understanding of the oil production mechanism during the solvent-SAGD process by interconnecting vapor chamber conditions and the conditions of heated and diluted oil ahead of the moving vapor-oil interface. The results show that mass transfer occurs over a scale of centimeters, while heat transfer scale is of the order of meters. The rate of solvent retention increases over time, while the production rates of solvent and bitumen decrease. Also, it is shown that the solvent-SAGD process which is a combination of heat and mass transfer would yield a higher oil recovery, if viscosity reduction from dilution at a lower temperature is greater than viscosity reduction by temperature in the SAGD process, for the same total injection rate.

Effect of solvent type on emulsion formation in steam and solvent-steam flooding processes for heavy oil recovery

In this study, a series of steam and solvent-steam flooding experiments are conducted to study the produced oil quality in terms of water-oil emulsions. A set of seven experiments are performed, beginning with steam flooding, and solvent-steam flooding using propane, n-butane, n-pentane, n-hexane, and n-heptane as paraffinic solvents that are insoluble in asphaltenes, and toluene, which is a polar solvent soluble in asphaltenes. Co-injection of solvents along with steam improves the cumulative oil recovery and produced oil quality by promoting less water migration into the bulk oil phase, hence reducing water-asphaltenes polar interactions. Asphaltene content in the produced oil and the displaced residual oil is found to generally increase with increasing carbon number of paraffinic solvent. Hexane is found to be the most effective hydrocarbon solvent in solvent-steam flooding for bitumen recovery, with optimum amount of asphaltene content and dispersion in produced oil, and minimum amount of water trapped in the oil phase, hence alleviating emulsion complexity. This is a first attempt to assess the efficiency of a wide range of solvent-steam flooding performances in terms of obtained oil emulsion quality, which will be very influential for field applications in selecting a solvent for a particular reservoir.

Effect of Position and Connected Atom on Photophysical and Photochemical Properties of Some Fluorinated Metallophthalocyanines.

This study presents the preparation of a new phthalonitrile derivative namely 3-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)thiophenoxy)phthalonitrile (1) and a series of its metallated phthalocyanines (M=Zn (II) (1a) and In(III) (1b)). In addition, the peripheral analog of the indium phthalocyanine chloride (2b) was newly synthesized. Characterization of the resulting compounds was carried out by utilizing various spectroscopic methods such as FT-IR, 1 H NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The influence of concentration on aggregation properties of compound 1a was investigated at different concentrations of DMSO. The effect of solvent type on aggregation properties of compound 1a was studied, as well. According to the referred procedures, the macrocyclic molecules (2a, 3a-b and 4a-b) were prepared. The effect of some parameters including metal ion, the position of the substituent and the connected atom (oxo or thio) on photochemical and photophysical features of compounds (1a-b, 2a-b, 3a-b, and 4a-b) was studied for evaluation of their potential as a photosensitizer in PDT, comparatively. The highest singlet oxygen quantum yields (ΦΔ =0.71 for 1a and 0.80 for 2b) were obtained for complexes 1a and 1b in DMSO. The photophysical and photochemical features of the studied macromolecules are therefore suitable for photodynamic therapy applications.

Synthesis of controllable carboxylated polystyrene microspheres and its application in the diffusion of in-vitro diagnostic chips

ABSTRACT In order to develop the in-vitro diagnostic chips with dry chemical methods that have good diffusion performance, high accuracy of test results, and good reproducibility, the synthesis conditions of carboxylated polystyrene(PS) microspheres with uniform and controllable size, and strong surface reactivity is one of the key factors. By changing the solvent type, reaction temperature, and monomer concentration, we can control the particle size of PS microspheres. The effects of solvent type and acrylic acid concentration on the carboxyl content on the microsphere surfaces were investigated. The effect of surfactant (TX100) and stirring time on diffusion of the diffusion layer were proposed. The results showed that PS microspheres with uniform particle size were prepared with ethanol at the reaction temperature of 70°C and monomer concentration of 20 wt%. The effect of the solvent on the surface carboxyl content of PS microspheres was significant. With pentanol as the solvent, the carboxyl group content on the surface of the microspheres reached 33.9mg/g. When the stirring time is 50 min, TX100 is added as asurfactant, and the prepared diffusion layer has the best effect on diffusion.

Mechanism of deep eutectic solvents enhancing catalytic function of cytochrome P450 enzymes in biosynthesis and organic synthesis

Indigo is an insoluble blue dye, which generates serious pollution in its production process. Increasing focus has come to the biosynthesis of indigo that are more environment-preserved and high-efficient. Hence, this study was designed to explore the specific role of various deep eutectic solvents (DESs) on cytochromeP45-BM-3 catalyzing indole to produce indigo. DESs were synthesized by heating and stirring. The structure of the solvent was analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR), and the relationship between the viscosity, density and refractive index of the solvent, and the water content of the solvent was examined. Circular dichroism spectrometer was used to detect the tertiary structure of the enzyme protein. The effect of solvent type, concentration, pH, temperature, and water content on the catalytic activity and stability of P450 BM-3 was measured using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer. A new solvent biphasic system was established using DESs and buffers, and indigo was prepared using recombinant E. coli-biocatalyzed indole. DESs were low-melting eutectics formed by molecules interaction of components through hydrogen bonding. The physical properties of DESs such as density, viscosity, and refractive index varied with water content and temperature of the solvent. The pH, water content, and temperature of DESs were positively correlated with the catalytic activity of P450 BM-3. To sum up, DESs can improve the catalytic activity and thermal stability of P450 BM-3. Indigo can be efficiently prepared using the DESs-buffer biphasic system.

Influence of solvent and nanoparticles on the morphology and gas separation properties of copolyimide membranes

AbstractIn this study, the effect of solvent type and nanoparticles of silica and zeolite 4A on the gas separation properties of polyimide (PI) membranes were investigated. Gas separation of the membranes based on pure solvents of dimethylformamide (DMF), n‐methyl‐2‐pirrolidone (NMP), dimethylacetamide (DMAc), and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) were studied. The prepared PI membranes using DMAc and DMSO showed the highest selectivity and permeability, respectively. In this regard, the influence of their mixing on transport properties of the PI was evaluated. The prepared membrane using the mixture of DMSO/DMAc with the volume ratio of 1:3 showed the best gas separation performance in comparison to the Robeson's upper bound. Incorporation of 20 wt% of silica and zeolite 4A nanoparticles into the PI membrane indicated that the selectivity of CO2/CH4 increased from 39.4 to 57.6 and 68.5, respectively. Besides, gas transport properties of the PI‐based mixed matrix membranes were satisfactory predicted by modified Maxwell model. Furthermore, characteristic parameters of the encapsulated particles by interfacial layer were determined.

Liquid phase oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde over chromium borophosphate catalyst synthesized by solution combustion method using different types of fuel

In this paper, chromium borophosphates have been prepared by the solution combustion method using different types of fuel and enhanced as a catalyst for liquid-phase oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde for the first time. Carbohydrazide, citric acid, hexamethylenetetramine, oxalyldihydrazide and urea used as an organic fuel and the obtained chromium borophosphates were systematically characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, thermogravimetry, scanning electron microscopy, and surface analysis techniques. They are structurally identical and thermally stable up to 1000 °C. According to fuel, their surface properties differ from each other and the long and short rod-like particles, which have a surface area between 7 and 19 m2 g−1, are formed. The effects of solvent type, reaction temperature, reaction time, peroxide amount and catalyst amount were also examined for catalytic studies, and the reaction conditions were optimized. As compared with the other fuels, hexamethylenetetramine-assisted synthesized chromium borophosphate catalyst provides high benzaldehyde conversion (52.09%) and selectivity (100%) under the optimized condition and has potential as a heterogeneous catalyst for oxidation reactions.

The effect of solvent type and extraction duration on purple corn anthocyanin compounds (Zea Mays L)

The development of the food processing industry and the limited amount and quality of natural dyes cause an increase in the use of synthetic dyes. Since the discovery of synthetic dyes, the use of pigments as dyes has decreased. Therefore the use of natural dyes needs to be raised again. Purple corn (Zea Mays L) has the potential as a natural food coloring due to its high anthocyanin content. Anthocyanins can act as natural dyes, antioxidants, antimutagenic, and anti-carcinogens. This study aimed to determine the solvent and extraction duration of purple corn dye on yield and anthocyanin levels. The study was conducted by the maceration extraction method (in which simple filtering was done by soaking purple corn in ethanol 96% and water at room temperature and protected from sunlight) using maceration time (5 hours, 10 hours, 15 hours, 20 hours). The extraction results are then filtered and then analyzed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. From this study, it was found that there was an effect of the type of solvent and the length of time of extraction on the yield and levels of anthocyanin obtained. it shows that the best treatment in extracting anthocyanin of a Purple Corn is to use ethanol solution and 20 hours of maceration time, which produces 577.78 mg/l of anthocyanin.

Estimation of molecular size of triglyceride in a variety of solvents by using the intrinsic viscosity technique: an important index for transesterification of triglyceride in homogenous system

The effect of solvent type on the molecular size and intermolecular interaction of triglyceride was investigated by the intrinsic viscosity technique. Both the indices may be important for discussing and scrutinizing the behavior of homogeneous transesterification of triglyceride with alcohol since it was found that the co-solvent type influences both the transesterification rate and hydrodynamic size of triglyceride in a homogeneous system. Kinematic viscosity of palm oil dissolved in six different solvents was measured at 298 K by using glass capillary type viscometer to determine the intrinsic viscosity and Huggins constant. By plotting the intrinsic viscosity and Huggins constant against the seven physical properties of the solvents, the polarity of the solvent has been identified as the key factor for molecular size of triglyceride in solution. On the contrary, none of the seven physical properties showed good correlation with the Higgins constant. This may be attributed to more complex nature of the Huggins constant in comparison with the intrinsic viscosity.

The effect of solvent type and temperature on mono-diacylglycerol purification

Mono-diacyl glycerol (M-DAG) resulted from esterification reaction between palm fatty acid distillates (PFAD) and glycerol with catalyst of methyl ester sulfonic acid, has low purity caused by the remaining catalyst, free fatty acids, free glycerol and triacylglycerol. Purification can be carried out by saponification and crystallization. The purpose of this study was to determine the most suitable solvent (96% ethanol, 70% ethanol, 95% isopropyl alcohol), and followed by determination of temperature level (2 °C, 5 °C, 10 °C) in crystallization step to obtain pure and high yield of M-DAG. Analyses that were carried out included yield, visual appearance, free fatty acid (FFA) content, and emulsion stability. The results showed that the type of solvent had an effect on the yield and free fatty acids, but did not affect the emulsion stability. Temperature also affected the yield and free fatty acids content, but did not affect the emulsion stability. The most suitable solvent was 96% ethanol with a yield of 24.2%, FFA content of 29.6%, and emulsion stability of 49.5%. The best temperature for crystallization was at 2 °C with a yield of 16.23%, FFA content of 3.80%, and emulsion stability of 100%.

Recovery of grape pomace phenolic compounds through optimized extraction and adsorption processes

The objective of this work is to optimize an efficient “green” technique for the extraction of phenolics from grape pomace. Two extraction techniques, ultrasound- and microwave-assisted extraction have been used. In ultrasound extraction, temperature (20−60 °C), solvent type (0–100 % v/v aqueous ethanol), amplitude (20–60 %), and solvent/solid ratio (8−24 mL/g) were the factors investigated. In the case of microwave extraction, the effects of solvent type (0–100 % v/v aqueous ethanol), solvent/solid ratio (8−24 mL/g), and power (100–600 Watt) were studied. In addition, the effect of pomace moisture content was studied under the optimum conditions. Another objective was to study the enhancement of the optimum procedure by enzymatic pretreatment using two enzymes, cellulase and pectinase, under different conditions (enzyme concentration, 2–4 % w/w; time, 60−240 min; water/solid ratio, 2/1–6/1 mL/g). The optimum extraction yield (48.76 mg GAE/g dry pomace) was achieved using ultrasound extraction at 56 °C, a solvent/solid ratio of 8 mL/g, an amplitude of 34 %, and a time of 20 min with 53 % v/v ethanol, after pretreatment with cellulase, at a concentration of 4 % w/w, time of 240 min, and water/pomace ratio of 2 mL/g. Furthermore, in order to obtain phenolics in a purified form, adsorption was carried out with zeolite.

Determination of the various extraction solvent effects on polyphenolic profile and antioxidant activities of selected tea samples by chemometric approach

In this study, the effect of solvent type and solvent concentration on the ultrasound assisted extraction (UAE) of polyphenols from popular tea samples (black, green, mate, blackberry and black mulberry) which have high antioxidant activities were investigated by chemometric approaches. For this purpose, green extraction method was preferred and hydroalcoholic solvents for applied this system in industry. Water, MeOH 100%, MeOH 75%, MeOH 50%, EtOH 100%, EtOH 75%, EtOH 50% were used as extraction solvent. Multivariate calibration analytical technique preferred for quantification of individual phenolic compounds in tea samples and the relationship between total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and total antioxidant activity (TAA) and individual phenolics was determined by chemometric approaches. The results of the study suggest that only spectroscopic comparisons based on TPC, TFC and TAA correlations are insufficient or even incorrect, and this is due to the fact that in tea samples different molecules besides different flavonoid structures are sensitive to spectroscopic techniques. The determination of the appropriate type and the concentration of solvent would contribute the usage of the herbal plants as a source of natural antioxidants in foods and pharmacology in large-scale industrial applications.

Selective oxidation of styrene to benzaldehyde by cobalt phthalocyanine-multi-walled carbon nanotube composites

Novel tetrasubstituted cobalt phthalocyanine-multi-walled carbon nanotube composites ([4a(OPh-p-Cl)CoPc]-MWCNTs) were prepared to efficient catalytic oxidation of styrene to benzaldehyde. The [4a(OPh-p-Cl)CoPc]-MWCNTs composites were characterized by UV–vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. In order to achieve efficient and selective catalysis, the effects of solvent types, oxidant types, catalyst amount, temperature and reaction time on catalytic performance have been studied. It was found that the [4a(OPh-p-Cl)CoPc]-MWCNTs composites performed very high catalytic activity in the styrene oxidation reaction. The highest styrene conversion (99.17%) and benzaldehyde selectivity (88.93%) were obtained under the optimum conditions of 20 mg of [4a(OPh-p-Cl)CoPc]-MWCNTs, oxidant being TBHP for 2 mL, and in THF at 80 °C for 4h. Furthermore, the possible reaction mechanism for [4a(OPh-p-Cl)CoPc]-MWCNTs composites selectively oxidized styrene to benzaldehyde was also proposed.

Proving and interpreting the spontaneous formation of bulk nanobubbles in aqueous organic solvent solutions: effects of solvent type and content.

We show that the mixing of organic solvents with pure water leads to the spontaneous formation of suspended nano-entities which exhibit long-term stability on the scale of months. A wide range of solvents representing different functional groups are studied: methanol, ethanol, propanol, acetone, DMSO and formamide. We use various physical and chemical analytical techniques to provide compounded evidence that the nano-entities observed in all these aqueous solvent solutions must be gas-filled nanobubbles as they cannot be attributed to solvent nanodroplets, impurities or contamination. The nanobubble suspensions are characterized in terms of their bubble size distribution, bubble number density and zeta potential. The bubble number density achieved is a function of the type of solvent. It increases sharply with solvent content, reaching a maximum at an intermediate solvent concentration, before falling off to zero. We show that, whilst bulk nanobubbles can exist in pure water, they cannot exist in pure organic solvents and they disappear at some organic solvent-water ratio depending on the type of solvent. The gas solubility of the solvent relative to water as well as the molecular structure of the solvent are determining factors in the formation and stability of bulk nanobubbles. These phenomena are discussed and interpreted in the light of the experimental results obtained.

Nitrogen photofixation ability of g-C3N4 nanosheets/Bi2MoO6 heterojunction photocatalyst under visible-light illumination

In this study, we combined bismuth molybdate with graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets with different percentages of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%, in which noticeable N2 photoreduction under visible-light illumination was seen for the binary g-C3N4 nanosheets/Bi2MoO6 photocatalysts, denoted as NCN/BMO. The XPS, HRTEM, TEM, XRD, EDX, UV–vis DRS, N2 adsorption-desorption, FT-IR, TGA, PL, photocurrent, and EIS instruments were utilized to characterize the fabricated photocatalysts. The results displayed the construction of type-II heterojunction between the NCN and BMO components for the easy charge transfer. Under mild conditions and using ethanol as a hole scavenger, the NCN/BMO (30%) nanocomposite showed the maximum capability for ammonia generation by 3271 µmol/L g, which is 1.9 and 9.2 times higher than the NCN and BMO components, respectively. The effects of solvent type, pH of solution, and electron scavenger on the rate of NH4+ production were also studied and conversed. Finally, the stability of the NCN/BMO (30%) nanocomposite was evaluated for four cycles, in which the results were desirable.
