The role of a combination between citric acid (CA) and ethylenediaminetetra acetic acid (EDTA) as chelating agents in preparation of BaCe0.54Zr0.36Y0.1O2.95powder by a modified sol-gel method is reported. The precursor solutions were prepared from metal nitrate salts (M+), chelating agents (C), and ethylene glycol (EG) at molar ratio of M+ : C : EG = 3 : 2 : 3. Chemical and phase transformation of samples during thermal decomposition were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. TGA results show that the sample prepared by a combination of CA-EDTA exhibited the lowest thermal decomposition temperature,Ttdsince there was no significant weight loss after 750°C. After calcined at 1100°C, the carbonates residue remained in the samples as proven by FTIR results. It was found that the used combination of CA-EDTA acts as a better combustion reagent to increase the reaction rate and influence the thermal decomposition behaviour compared to a single citric acid and EDTA, respectively. Apparently, calcination temperatures above 1100°C are needed to produce a pure perovskitic BaCe0.54Zr0.36Y0.1O2.95.

Phytoremediation is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach that can be used for the remediation of metals in polluted soil. This study used a hedge plant–calico (Alternanthera bettzickiana (Regel) G. Nicholson) to determine the role of citric acid in lead (Pb) phytoremediation by exposing it to different concentrations of Pb (0, 200, 500, and 1000 mg kg−1) as well as in a combination with citric acid concentration (0, 250, 500 µM). The analysis of variance was applied on results for significant effects of the independent variables on the dependent variables using SPSS (ver10). According to the results, maximum Pb concentration was measured in the upper parts of the plant. An increase in dry weight biomass, plant growth parameters, and photosynthetic contents was observed with the increase of Pb application (200 mg kg−1) in soil while a reduced growth was experienced at higher Pb concentration (1000 mg kg−1). The antioxidant enzymatic activities like superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) were enhanced under lower Pb concentration (200, 500 mg kg−1), whereas the reduction occurred at greater metal concentration Pb (1000 mg kg−1). There was a usual reduction in electrolyte leakage (EL) at lower Pb concentration (200, 500 mg kg−1), whereas EL increased at maximum Pb concentration (1000 mg kg−1). We concluded that this hedge plant, A. Bettzickiana, has the greater ability to remediate polluted soils aided with citric acid application.

AbstractDouble hydrophilic block copolymers were used to control the growth of inorganic particles and directly prepare hybrid colloidal suspensions. Colloids of metal hydrous oxides were obtained by forced hydrolysis of metal ions in presence of the copolymers. The block copolymers contain a metal-complexing polyelectrolyte block and a stabilizing neutral block. The role of the first block is to ensure a controlled growth of the inorganic phase, while simultaneously, the second block ensures the colloidal stabilization. Phase diagrams presenting the conditions under which precipitation is inhibited are established. The nanoparticles are then characterized in terms of sizes, morphologies and surface charges. The main parameters controlling the size were identified: the copolymer-to-metal ratio and the metal prehydrolysis ratio. The synthesis steps were characterized. First, a key step of induced micellization of the hydrophilic copolymers leads to hybrid core-shell assemblies. The second step consists in mineralization of the micellar core. The suspension polycondensation leads to hairy particles whose morphologies depend on the nature of the metal and on synthesis parameters.

In this article, the results of the research on organic pollutant treatment in the wastewater of printing processes on fabric by H2O2 under the catalytic role of the complex between ion Ni2+ and Citric acid (H4L) were presented. The condition of pH, H4L/Ni2+, H2O2, Ni2+ concentration has been explored to get the optimal conditions for improving COD efficient treatment. The results provide the solutions of the homogeneous complex  catalysts in the industrial wastewater treatment at room temperature and atmosphere.
