In this study, the usage of the peppermint (Mentha piperita) for extracting the metal ions [Mg (II), Cr (II), Ni (II), Cu (II), Zn (II), Cd (II), Pb (II)] that exist at water was investigated. In order to analyze the stability properties, Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms were used at removing the metal ions and the highest correlation coefficients (R2) were obtained at Langmuir isotherm. Therefore, it is seen that the Langmuir model is more proper than the Freundlich model. However, it was found that the correlation coefficients of removing Ni and Cd is higher at Freundlich model than Langmuir and low at Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm. It is established that the biosorption amount increase depends on the increase of biosorbent and it can be achieved high efficiency (95%) even with small amount (0.6 mg, peppermint extract) at lead ions. It is also determined that the peppermint extracted that is used at this study shows high biosorption capacity for metal ions and can be used for immobilization of metals from polluted areas.

Wastewater containing pharmaceutical residual components must be treated before being discharged to the environment. This study was conducted to investigate the efficiency of tungsten-carbon nanocomposite in diclofenac removal using design of experiment (DOE). The 27 batch adsorption experiments were done by choosing three effective parameters (pH, adsorbent dose, and initial concentration) at three levels. The nanocomposite was prepared by tungsten oxide and activated carbon powder in a ratio of 1 to 4 mass. The remaining concentration of diclofenac was measured by a spectrometer with adding reagents of 2, 2′-bipyridine, and ferric chloride. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to determine the main and interaction effects. The equilibrium time for removal process was determined as 30 min. It was observed that the pH had the lowest influence on the removal efficiency of diclofenac. Nanocomposite gave a high removal at low concentration of 5.0 mg/L. The maximum removal for an initial concentration of 5.0 mg/L was 88.0% at contact time of 30 min. The results of ANOVA showed that adsorbent mass was among the most effective variables. Using DOE as an efficient method revealed that tungsten-carbon nanocomposite has high efficiency in the removal of residual diclofenac from the aqueous solution.

We present lightweight macro-mesoporous spinel CoAl2O4 nanostructured aerogels derived from water-soluble aluminum-chitosan complexes. Chitosan nanofibrils interact with aluminum ions to swell into hydrogels. The aluminum-induced swelling is extended to dissolve the hydrogels in water to form a homogeneous aluminum-chitosan aqueous solution. The addition of cobalt ions in the aluminum-chitosan liquids which are solidified by lyophilization to generate cotton-like aerogel composites. Uniform incorporation of cobalt-aluminum hydroxide ions onto chitosan leads nanofibrils to serve as a hierarchical template to support mixed metal hydroxides in the aerogel composites. We investigated the thermal removal of chitosan template in the composites to obtain spinel CoAl2O4 aerogels that truly replicate spider web-like fibrillar networks of chitosan template. Enlarged porosity, high crystallinity, and lightweight make the CoAl2O4 aerogels useful as a colorful nano-pigment for magnetic ceramics.

Different concentrations ofmethanol aqueous solution with or without 0.5% acetic acid and 80% acetone were used to achieve the highest yield of extraction of phenolics from Induna apple pomace. The highest content of phenolics (6.38 mg/g) was detected in the 80% methanol extract. The influence of 80% methanol extract of Induna apple pomace on stable l,l-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and reactive hydroxyl radicals has been investigated by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Based on the obtained results it can be concluded that the investigated extract is more effective in the DPPH test than on the DMPO-OH scavenging. In both cases antioxidant activity increased with increasing concentration of the investigated extract. The high contents ofphenolics (6.38 mg/g), flavonoids (1.01 mg/g) and flavan-3-ols (0.70 mg/g) in 80% methanol extract indicated that these compounds contributed to the antioxidant activity of Induna apple pomace.
