Thermodynamic, Kinetic and Isotherm Study of 4-chloro-2-methyl Phenoxy Acetic Acid (MCPA) by (PV/S-g-3D-GO/N) from Aquatic Solutions

BackgroundIn this study removal efficiency of 4-chloro-2-methyl-phenoxy acetic acid (MCPA) by 3D polymer nano-magnetic (PV/S-g-3D-GO/N) was investigated.MethodsThe effects of operation parameters including adsorbent mass, influent flow rate and inlet concentration on the adsorption performance are investigated.ResultsMaximum adsorption capacity (4.36 mg/g) was achieved at optimum conditions (pH: 3, contact time: 300 min, adsorbent dosage: 5 g/l and temperature: 50 °C). Moreover, adsorption isotherm and kinetics were agreed with the Langmuir model (R2 = 0.997) and pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.999), respectively. Thermodynamic studies also show that adsorption process was spontaneous (ΔG < 0) and endothermic (ΔH > 0).ConclusionAccording to removal efficiency (100%), this adsorbent is an excellent alternative for removal herbicide in high temperature industry.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Schiff Bases of Aryloxy Moiety

Schiff's bases are condensation products of primary amines with carbonyl compounds. Schiff bases (imines) possess wide variety of biological activities that include antibacterial and antifungal activity. In present work, Schiff bases from 3,5- Dimethoxyphenol (aryloxy moiety) as starting material synthesized. Esterification of 3,5- Dimethoxyphenol led to formation of (3,5-Dimethoxy-phenoxy)-acetic acid ethyl ester (1). (3,5-Dimethoxy-phenoxy)-acetic acid hydrazide (2) is derived from Compound (1) by hydrazination. Compound (2) was reacted with different aromatic aldehydes to yield novel imines or Schiff bases (3A-I). The newly synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of spectral studies and evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activities. All the synthesized compounds had shown antibacterial and antifungal activity. Schiff bases 3C, 3D, 3E and 3I had shown good antimicrobial activity among all newly synthesized compounds.
