Abstract Ionic liquids are widely used in many fields due to their extremely tunable nature and exceptional properties. The extensive application of ionic liquids raises great concerns regarding their bioaccumulation potential and adverse effects on organisms.Green plants have a great potential for uptake of persistent xenobiotics from aquatic and terrestrial environment. However, the assimilation and bioaccumulation of 1-tetradecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C14mim]Br) has not been studied in plantsyet. In order to explore the phytoaccumulationof [C14mim]+, ryegrass were exposed to [C14mim]Br with hydroponic experiment.The effects of [C14mim]Brdosages on growth index, chlorophyll content, malondialdehyde (MAD) content and antioxidant enzyme activity of ryegrass were investigated. The toxic effects of[C14mim]Bron ryegrass growth increased with increasing initial concentration. The high initial concentration treatment resulted in rapid changes in physiological characteristics in ryegrass tissue. [C14mim]+ions were mainly accumulated in root tissue and partly translocated to the above ground part of ryegrass.[C14mim]+was observed in the highest concentration (314.35 µg/gin root and 101.42 µg/gin aboveground partsof ryegrass) with 10 mg/L of [C14mim]Br.Our results demonstrated that ryegrass can uptake and accumulate [C14mim]+ and is therefore a suitable species for phytroremediationof trace amount of [C14mim]+ and possibly other ionic liquids.

The biosynthesis of basement membrane material requires the sugar derivatives of uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP) for protein glycosylation. Uridine and orotate utilization for the biosynthesis of uracil ribonucleotides was studied in isolated rat glomeruli incubated in vitro. At a 1 microM concentration total orotate utilization was 9.6 +/- 1.8 pmol.min-1.mg DNA-1 (1 mg DNA approximately 0.175 X 10(6) glomeruli), 51% of the total amount metabolized was used in ribonucleotide formation, and there was a significant UTP accretion. Except at a high initial concentration (50 microM), exogenous uridine failed to increase the UTP pool due to rapid uridine breakdown by a cytosolic phosphorylase. Inhibition of this enzyme with benzylacyclouridine resulted in increased biosynthesis and accretion of UTP, and in a 17-fold higher concentration of uridine, primarily produced from performed sources of nucleosides. Continuous addition of exogenous uridine to maintain its concentration at 1 microM resulted in a total uridine utilization of 550 +/- 30 pmol.min-1.mg DNA-1. Uridine salvage for ribonucleotide biosynthesis was only 3% of the total metabolized. In contrast to uridine, and presumably due to UTP pool compartmentation, orotate incorporation into uridine 5'-diphosphosugars was prominent. The metabolism of exogenous orotate was not decreased by the presence of large amounts of uridine and by an expanded UTP pool. It is concluded that when exogenous orotate is present, it is an important precursor for glomerular uracil ribonucleotide biosynthesis. Due to its rapid rate of catabolism, uridine cannot maintain ribonucleotide biosynthesis at a rate sufficient to result in UTP accretion unless it is provided continuously in substantial quantities.

The large variations in the rates of the copper(II)-promoted solvolyses of various nickel(II) complexes, containing Schiff base ligands with varying diamine substituents, is attributed to steric effects. The important rate differences occur for reactants whose stereochemistries and electronic properties appear little different. However, the steric effects cannot be viewed definitely from either nickel-diamine dissociation or copper-diamine formation. Nickel reactants which may be distorted from planarity give trimeric products on reaction with copper in dmso and dmf, if the reactions are carried out at high initial concentration ratios of copper(II) to nickel complex. Ligand substitution studies indicate a differing reactivity sequence for the diamine-substituted ligands in their capacities as entering, compared to leaving, groups.

The study of oil pollution is crucial nowadays and considered as one of the critical issues as oil pollution gives bad effects especially to wastewater treatment facilities. For that purpose, this study investigated the potential of activated carbon from biochars of textile sludge precursors for oil removal. The activated carbons were produced from biochar obtained through the pyrolysis of textile sludge waste by chemical activation with 1M of phosphoric acid which denoted as AC-B-H3PO4. Apart from that, the performance of adsorptive properties of the activated carbon was tested using simulated cooking oil waste water in homogeneous form as the targeted adsorbate. The effect of adsorption contact time and initial concentration of simulated oil wastewater towards performances of AC-B-H3PO4 in removal of simulated oil wastewater were studied and compared with biochars700. The equilibrium time in adsorption of the simulated oil wastewater for both biochar700 and AC-B-H3PO4 was obtained in 30min. Meanwhile, the effects of initial concentration of simulated oil wastewater, biochars700 has earlier achieved equilibrium at 300mg/l up to 500 mg/l, while for AC-B-H3PO4, the adsorption capacity still increase at a high initial concentration of simulated oil waste water but in a slow rate. The results obtained showed that AC-B-H3PO4 has more potential for oil spills treatment than biochars due to its ability to treat the high initial concentration of simulated oil wastewater at the equilibrium time. The findings also provide for an alternative for low cost and effective adsorbent for the oil pollution treatment.

Nano Fe-BTC composites were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal treatment with an ultrasonic method. Samples were characterized by XRD, FTIR, BET, SEM, EDS, and XPS. SEM result showed nano Fe-BTC particles size of 10-30 nm. Nano Fe-BTC showed the high surface area (1258 m2/g) and pore volume (0.99 cm3/g). Fe-BTC nanocomposites were tested for the photocatalytic degradation of reactive dye (reactive yellow RY-145) in aqueous solution. Fe-BTC composites exhibited high photocatalytic activity. Thus, at the pH of 6.5 and the high initial concentration of 100 mg RY-145/L, removal efficiency reached the value of 98.13% after 60 min. of reaction. Moreover, nano Fe-BTC also showed high RY-145 removal efficiency after 3 catalytic regeneration. This contributes to the sustainable development and green chemistry.
