Abstract From the perspective of environment, civilian safety and human health it is utmost important to selectively and sensitively detect hazardous substances in the running water. In the last few decades, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been utilized for the detection of lethal substances in the aqueous phase using fluorescence method. Herein, a highly fluorescent MOF, Zn-MOF-1, namely, {[Zn2(pydc)2(DMF)]·2DMF}n, based on the ligand pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (H2pydc), was synthesized by employing solvothermal conditions. The Zn-MOF-1 was thoroughly characterized by crystallographic, PXRD, elemental, FTIR, and TG analysis. Single crystal data elucidated the exact structure of Zn-MOF-1. Due to its better emission spectra, the fluorescence sensing behavior of Zn-MOF-1 was checked in the aqueous medium. It was found that Zn-MOF-1 could detect Cr3+ with high sensitivity and selectivity and serve as an excellent fluorescent probe for TNP among other interfering nitroaromatic compounds in aqueous media. Furthermore, a plausible sensing mechanism has been demonstrated employing UV-Visible, fluorescence, and theoretical data. The observed Ksv values for TNP and Cr3+ are 2.1×108 M-1 and 1.46×107 M-1, respectively. Selective fluorescence quenching with high Ksv values and low detection limits validates the superior sensing performance shown by Zn-MOF-1 toward TNP and Cr3+. Thus, the fine-tuning of MOF for the detection of hazardous substances in wastewater is a challenging task and needs to address in future endeavors.

The object of research is the process of water disinfection at the influence of gas from bacteria of a particular genus with different amounts per unit volume of water. Due to the annual increase in the amount of pollutants in natural waters, new opportunities to improve microbiological indicators of water quality are being explored. There are many different ways to disinfect it, both physical and chemical. However, no single method has been found to purify aqueous media from microorganisms that would ensure their effective destruction. It is proposed to study the activity of specific microorganisms during the bubbling of inert gas through the aqueous medium. The microorganisms studied were rod-shaped sporogenic cells of Bacillus cereus bacteria type. The test gas was inert helium. The study used continuous gas bubbling throughout the process, which allowed to mix microbial water efficiently and prevent the formation of stagnant zones in the reaction medium. In particular, active gas mixing facilitates its access to each cell. The gas supply rate corresponded to 0.2 cm3/s, and its flow rate was 0.7 dm3 for one hour of bubbling through microbial water. The duration of the entire research process was 7200 s. The constant temperature of the microbial water (T=288±1 K) was maintained during the experiment by cooling the glass reactor with running water. An in-depth method of culturing bacterial cells was used. A decrease in the number of microorganisms was observed throughout the helium supply process, despite the different initial amounts in the water. The highest destruction degree of bacillus (77.06 %) was obtained at the lowest studied concentration in water (NM01=3.4·104 CFU/cm3). This is due to the fact that less microbial load provides better conditions for access of helium to the cell and their effective destruction. The proposed method of water purification allowed to achieve a sufficiently high degree of water disinfection from sporogenic rod-shaped bacteria after the action of helium alone. In particular, it has been experimentally proven that the efficiency of the water disinfection process depends on the concentration of microorganisms per unit volume of water. Due to the treatment of contaminated water with gas, it is possible to obtain high rates of its purification and the application of this method for practical purposes in water treatment technology.
