The objective of this research is to evaluate the adsorption potential of modified clay with respect to methylene blue. Several kaolinite-based geopolymers were prepared with different ratios of SiO2 /Al2O 3 and an alkaline activator. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the samples showed amorphous structure favorable for the adsorption of dyes. Adsorption tests were carried out using the geopolymer named Eti24 and different parameters (contact duration, pH effect of pH, initial concentration of the dye, etc.) have been studied to optimize the MB process of removal. Studies of the adsorption kinetics of this dye on the geopolymer were also carried out. The adsorption equilibrium showed that the absorption kinetic is of pseudo-second order and more compatible with Freundlich model. The results revealed that the Eti24 geopolymer can serve as a basis for more sophisticated methods of treating aqueous effluents.<#LINE#>Barreca S. and Orecchio S. A.

Dexketoprofen and ketoprofen D3 (internal standard) were extracted from the plasma using solid phase extraction technique and injected onto Phenomenex Luna C18 100mm*4.6 mm, 3µm. The mobile phase consisted of Acetonitrile: 0.2% Formic Acid (65:35, v/v) and was delivered isocratically at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min (Split 50:50 v/v). The MRM mode for dexketoprofen and internal standard ketoprofen D3 were detected at m/z 255.1→209.2 and 258.1→212.2 and the run time was 3 min. The detection limit of dexketoprofen was 50.0ng/mL, and the calibration curve was linear between 50.0 and 6000.0ng/ml. Concentrations of drugs were determined by using a validated LC-MS/MS method.<#LINE#>Ameyibor E. and Stewart J.T.

This study determined the physiochemical and mechanical properties of composite panels produced from Grewia mollis (GM) root fibre/polyester. Experimental research design was adopted for the study. The Grewia mollis root fibre was extracted and chemically processed by retting, scouring, bleaching, and mercerizing respectively. The traditional hand lay-up method was applied in producing the composite panels and their physiochemical and mechanical properties were determined according to ASTM standards. Descriptive statistics of percentage (%) scatter plot and bar charts were used to analyze and present the data. The result revealed that oil absorption increases while water absorption decreases as the concentration of NaOH increases and static with time. This implies that the untreated fibre-reinforced composites absorb more water than oil whereas the treated fibre-reinforced composites absorb more oil than water. The mechanical properties of the treated fibre-reinforced composites were improved significantly as the concentrations of NaOH increases up to a threshold point of 15% before experiencing a decrease from threshold points of 20-25%. This shows that composites treated with 5–15% NaOH gave better improvements than 20–25% and the maximum improvements were found for 15% NaOH. Therefore, on the basis of % NaOH, threshold point of 15% possessed the ideal combination of mechanical qualities. The outcome shown that the treated fiber-reinforced composites might be used as an alternative to other naturally fiber-based products since they offered better physiochemical and mechanical qualities than the untreated fiber-reinforced composites. According to the study, appropriately adjusting these processing parameters may result in a more effective or practical composite panel solution for our home and commercial uses, including the furniture, automobile, and construction industries, among others.<#LINE#>May-Pat A., Valadez-González A. and Herrera-Franco P.J.

One is a biochar material namely PB1P15 derived from banana peels-plastic bottles composite and another is a magnetized biochar material namely PB1P15M synthetized by co-precipitation of iron III chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3.6H2O) and iron II chloride tetrahydrate (FeCl2.4H2O) of the aforementioned biochar. The two synthetized materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX), Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller / Barret-Joyner-Halenda (BET/BJH) techniques. The characterization analyses revealed successively, the appearance of reverse spinel groups of magnetite, elongation vibration of Fe-O bonds and specific surfaces areas of 83.03m2/g to 163.9m2/g for biochar (PB1P15) and diochar/Fe3O4 (PB1P15M) respectively. This prominence presence of iron oxides in the magnetite forms (Fe3O4) mainly on PB1P15M surface was used as catalyst for heterogeneous Fenton process for MB degradation. The photo-Fenton analyses tests indicated a strong degradation of MB of 69.7% in dark condition and up to 98.4% in the presence of UV light. These results were obtained under optimum conditions of 80mg/L and pH equals to 2 of MB solution, 0.2mg/L of H2O2 solution with 15mg of PB1P15M in one hour of contact time. Finally, the catalysts performances were tested by its recovery in MB solution through magnetic separation and reused three times without any loss of activated denoted.<#LINE#>Mukhlish M.Z.B., Khan M.M.R., Islam A.R. and A.N.M.S (2016).@Akanda1 Removal of reactive dye from aqueous solution using coagulation–flocculation coupled with adsorptionon papaya leaf.@Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 10, 1884, 1894.@Yes$Abid A.F., Zablouk M.A. and Abid-Alameer A.M.

Thermal analysis was used to determine the thermal stability and decomposition pattern of the Cr (III), Ni (II), and Cu (II) complexes. The TG curves were used to compute kinetic parameters such as activation energy (ΔE), frequency factor (A), entropy of activation (Δs), and order parameter (n) using the Coats Redfern and Horowitz Metzger equations. Nine mechanistic equations have been used to examine the reaction mechanism by employing non-isothermal approaches. The end products are discovered to be their corresponding oxides, and [CrBL(H2O)2(CH3COO)2] < [CuBL(H2O)2(CH3COO)2] < [Ni(BL)2(H2O)2] is the sequence in which they are most stable. The Cr (III) and Cu (II) complexes exhibit two-stage decomposition pattern in their TG curve whereas Ni (II) complex shows a three-stage decomposition pattern.<#LINE#>Qin, W., Long, S., Panunzio, M. and Stefano, B.
