Abstract

The adsorption characteristic of polypyrrole decorated chitosan-based magsorbent (MChs/Ppy) for the elimination of cationic crystal violet and anionic methyl orange dye from wastewater were explored. The characteristics of MChs/Ppy were studied by TGA, SEM/EDAX, TEM, BET, FTIR, VSM, and XRD analyses. The performance of MChs/Ppy towards the adsorption of CV and MO was investigated by the batch method. Removal performance was obtained to be 88.11 and 92.89% for CV and MO at the optimum conditions. The adsorption of CV was well described by pseudo 2nd order, while that of MO was best followed by the pseudo 1st order kinetics. The adsorption equilibrium data for both the dyes were fitted well with Langmuir adsorption isotherm with the maximum monolayer sorption capacity of 62.89 and 89.29 mg/g for CV and MO, respectively. The negative values of ΔH and ΔF accompanying with the removal of both dyes specified the adsorption process to be exothermic and spontaneous. Regeneration study showed that MChs/Ppy could be reused efficaciously up to three consecutive ad-/de-sorption cycles. The combined benefits of facile synthesis, non-toxicity, and good adsorption potential towards cationic and anionic dyes along with easy magnetic separabili...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
