Abstract Literature describes the formation of Fe (II)-phenanthroline complex (ferroin) as a stop way for Fenton processes, ceasing radicals yielding. Antagonistically, this study presents evidences that ferroin can be activated by UVA in mildly acidic media in photo-Fenton-like process. Because ferroin is the main waste from total iron determination in environmental samples, a recycling approach is suggested. Based on the best practices of waste management planning, an application of the proposed method for treating another chemical waste is presented. Titrimetric ammonia determination waste containing 2.67 mg L−1 methyl red azo dye and 1.33 mg L−1 methylene blue was degraded at the optimized experimental conditions: pH = 5.2–5.4; [H2O2] = 310 mg L−1; [Ferroin] = 1.4 mg L−1; temperature = 36 ± 1 °C; reaction time = 165 min under UV-A irradiation. Attenuation of most intense spectroscopic bands for the dyes achieved 94% (510 nm) and 96% (665 nm) for methyl red and methylene blue, respectively, with degradation of ferroin itself. The present work brings empirical evidence that is possible to recycling ferroin as photo-Fenton-like process catalyst, besides to determine the best conditions for providing less acidic treated effluents with negligible suspended solid concentration, better than obtained from classical photo-Fenton processes.

Reaction of cerium ammonium nitrate and tetrafluoroterephthalic acid in water afforded two new metal-organic frameworks with UiO-66 [F4_UiO-66(Ce)] and MIL-140 [F4_MIL-140A(Ce)] topologies. The two compounds can be obtained in the same experimental conditions, just by varying the amount of acetic acid used as crystallization modulator in the synthesis. Both F4_UiO-66(Ce) and F4_MIL-140A(Ce) feature pores with size < 8 Å, which classifies them as ultramicroporous. Combination of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed that both compounds contain a small amount of Ce(III), which is preferentially accumulated near the surface of the crystallites. The CO<sub>2</sub> sorption properties of F4_UiO-66(Ce) and F4_MIL-140A(Ce) were investigated, finding that they perform better than their Zr-based analogues. F4_MIL-140A(Ce) displays an unusual S-shaped isotherm with steep uptake increase at pressure < 0.2 bar at 298 K. This makes F4_MIL-140A(Ce) exceptionally selective for CO<sub>2</sub> over N<sub>2</sub>: the calculated selectivity, according to the ideal adsorbed solution theory for a 0.15:0.85 mixture at 1 bar and 293 K, is higher than 1900, amongst the highest ever reported for metal-organic frameworks. The calculated isosteric heat of CO<sub>2 </sub>adsorption is in the range of 38-40 kJ mol<sup>-1</sup>, indicating a strong physisorptive character.

A series of solid-phase syntheses of the protected precursor II of DDAVP was carried out. Experimental conditions were developed under which practically pure II can reproducibly be obtained in yields better than 60%. The protected precursors of DDAVP obtained by liquid- and solid-phase synthesis and DDAVP samples obtained from these precursors were undistinguishable by conventional analytical or pharmacological assays.

In order to improve the photocatalytic activity, Co was successfully loaded into Ag3VO4 by using impregnation process. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The XRD and SEM–EDS analyses revealed that Co ion was dispersed on Ag3VO4. The DRS results indicated that the absorption edge of the Co–Ag3VO4 catalyst shifted to longer wavelength. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of Co–Ag3VO4 for Methylene Blue(MB) dye degradation under visible light irradiation was due to its wider absorption edge and higher separation rate of photo-generated electron and holes. In the experimental conditions, it is demonstrated that the MB was effectively degraded by more than 95% within 40 min when the Co–Ag3VO4 catalyst was calcined at 300°C with 1 wt.% Co content.

The hind-body region of Schistosoma mansoni cercariae observed in the scanning electron microscope demonstrates various stages of contraction which may be compared with those of living larvae which are secreting the acetabular gland contents.No evidence for an extensive lesion was found in cercarial bodies which had shed their tails under experimental conditions. Experiments on the permeability of the larvae to sodium fluoride, methylene blue and amino acids demonstrated that tail loss significantly affects the permeability of the bodies although the effect is greater immediately after decaudation than at later times. Subsequent increases in permeability may be correlated with a change in the general body surface.

In this study, based on colony morphology characteristics, a total of 19 fungal endophytes were isolated from root of Calotropis Procera a traditional Indian medicinal plant. All fungal isolates were screened for their dye degradation ability. The dyes used as test dyes were Rose Bengal (RB), azo dye Methyl Red (MR), Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) and Methylene Blue (MB) and the concentration of each dye in the experiment was kept 100mg/L. Among the 19 fungal endophytic isolates (CPR1-CPR19), only one isolate CPR4 showed strong dye decolourization capability against all the four test dye. Dye decolourization ability by the isolate CPR4 was determined to be 97.4%, 87%, 65% and 45% for Rose Bengal (RB), Methyl Red (MR), Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) and Methylene Blue (MB) respectively. Complete colour decolourization was observed with rose Bengal followed by Methyl Red. Glucose minimal medium was used for liquid and solid culture of fungal isolates. Fungal biomass production in the presence of four test dye was studied and compare with control culture of fungal endophytes. Effect of temperature, pH, stationary and agitation conditions on dye degradation was also studied.Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol 3(3): 373-380

EFICIÊNCIA DE DIFERENTES ELEMENTOS FILTRANTES NA PREVENÇÃO DE OBSTRUÇÃO DE GOTEJADORES   José Euclides Stipp Paterniani Marcos Eduardo ScatoliniFaculdade de Engenharia Agrícola, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Campinas, SP. CP 6011, CEP 13083-970, E-mail: [email protected]   1 RESUMO  Durante ensaios para verificação de eficiência de retenção de algas em filtros de discos 120 MESH, tela 120 MESH e manta sintética não tecida, foram avaliados o grau de obstrução de gotejadores de labirinto com fluxo turbulento e vazão nominal de 4 L.h-1 e 8 L.h-1. Para determinação da obstrução causada por impurezas não retidas no meio filtrante foram avaliadas a evolução da vazão e da uniformidade estatística dos gotejadores submetidos aos diferentes meios filtrantes durante um período de 22 semanas durante 4 horas diárias e comparadas com uma parcela testemunha sem elemento filtrante. Os resultados mostraram que houve diferença significativa entre o elemento de discos, que apresentou maior uniformidade estatística, os filtros de manta e tela com valores intermediários e a testemunha que apresentou menor uniformidade estatística. No entanto, para caracterizar de maneira definida a diferença no desempenho dos elementos filtrantes, estes valores deveriam vir acompanhados de uma redução contínua na vazão média dos tratamentos, o que foi observado apenas para o elemento de tela com o gotejador de 4 L.h-1. As demais variações da uniformidade estatística foram temporais, provavelmente devido a obstruções  temporárias ocasionadas por variações da concentração de sólidos suspensos na água de irrigação.  UNITERMOS: Filtragem, Gotejamento, Qualidade da água.   PATERNIANI, J.E.S.; SCATOLINI, M.E. EFFICIENCY OF DIFFERENT FILTER ELEMENTS TO PREVENT TRICKLE CLOGGING   2 ABSTRACT  This work aimed to verify the efficiency of algae removal in disks 120 mesh, screen 120  mesh, and non woven synthetic fabric filters. It was evaluated the degree of clogging of turbulent flow drippers on 4 L.h-1 and 8 L.h-1 outflow. For blockage determination the outflow evolution  and statistics uniformity (Us) of the dripper have been evaluated when submitted to different filter media over 22 weeks, 4 daily hours compared to a control without the filter element. The results indicated significant differences among the elements. The disk element presented greater statistic uniformity. The screen filter and the non woven synthetic fabric element presented intermediate values whereas the parcel with no filter element (control) presented minor statistic uniformity. However, in order to characterize performance differences among them, values should be presented along with a  continuous average outflow reduction in all treatments. This pattern was observed only for the screen filter and 4 L.h-1 drippers. The statistics uniformity variation has been probably caused by temporary blockages due to variation in suspended solid concentration in irrigation water.  KEYWORDS: filtration, drip irrigation, water quality.

1. A number of trout (Salmo irideus) were kept continuously swimming for a period of 12 months in experimental tanks in which the water was made to rotate at a mean speed of 25 cm./sec. 2. These fish become available for study in the ‘Fish Wheel’ and measurements were made of the maximum speed they sustained for periods of swimming of different duration. 3. For bursts of swimming of up to 20 sec. duration the mean accomplishments of these fish were identical with those of the unexercised trout studied previously. 4. Considerable variability was found amongst the specimens tested and the best of the present exercised fish were appreciably better than the best of the previous unexercised ones. The biggest improvement was 36 % at the 10 sec. period of swimming; the mean percentage improvement for all periods was 11 %. 5. Some specimens were found better at swimming for short periods and others at swimming for longer. 6. In the absence of comparable figures for the earlier fish, the measurements of cruising speeds sustained for periods up to 1½ hr. were compared with other figures in the literature and found to be about half some of these for wild fish. 7. The implications of the results are considered and two interpretations stressed. First, it is assumed that there is a real identity of accomplishment for short periods of swimming, values being determined perhaps solely by gross mass of muscle; while for longer periods of swimming differences dependent upon respiratory rate etc. may well occur. Secondly, for such longer periods the discrepancies reported here may well be accounted for by differing degrees of stimulus and behavioural response under varied experimental conditions.

Yellow, orange, red and brown pigments are formed by air oxidation of single polyphenols or by thermal degradation of sugars to caramels. Caramels increase their colours during anaerobic heating or decrease them by air oxidation. Epicatechin and caramel undergo reversible redox reaction followed by degradation and/or polymerisation at beer aging. That is why both of these colour compounds, besides acting as acid/alkali indicators, can also represent redox indicators that gradually become irreversible. These reactions are accelerated by transient metals or buffering solutions and are therefore more distinct in tap or brewing water than in deionised water. The kind of the brewing water then predetermines not only the beer attributes but also the course of beer aging. Coloured pigments can be partially bleached by reducting agents such as yeast oxidoreductase enzymes and the colour can be then recovered by oxidation; this depends on their polymerisation degree. Methylene blue and methyl red can be used as artificial oxidation-reduction indicators for the study of the redox potential changes because they act reversibly or irreversibly under aerobic or anaerobic conditions, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to compare the IMViC (indole, methyl red, Voges-Proskauer and citrate utilization) tests with the β-glucuronidase (GUD) assay for the identification of suspect Escherichia coli on Levine's eosin-methylene blue (EMB) agar. After testing 258 suspect E. coli colonies from raw meat and meat products, 163 and 44 were found to be E. coli and non-E. coli, respectively, by both methods. Nine isolates were IMViC positive (i.e., + + − − or − + − −) but GUD negative; among these isolates, six were confirmed to be E. coli by API 20E (bioMérieux, Marcy-I'Etoile, France) with the remaining three being non-E. coli. There were 42 isolates that were IMViC negative but GUD positive; among these isolates, seven were pure E. coli cultures, 33 were mixed cultures containing E. coli, and the remaining two were Proteus spp. The sensitivities for the identification of E. coli on EMB were 80.9% (169/209) and 97.1% (203/209), respectively, by the IMViC tests and GUD assay; whereas the specificities were 93.9% (46/49) and 95.9% (47/49), respectively, by the IMViC tests and GUD assay. It is proposed that the GUD assay can be an effective alternative to the conventional IMViC tests for the identification of suspect E. coli on EMB.

Spatial distribution and concentration of Total Suspended Solid (TSS) is one of the coastal parameters which are required to be examined in order to understand the quality of the water. Rapid development of remote sensing technology has resulted in the emergence of various methods to estimate TSS concentration. SPOT-6 data has spatial, spectral, and temporal characteristics that can be used to estimate TSS concentration. The purposes of this research are (1) to determine the best method for estimating TSS concentration, (2) to map TSS distribution, and (3) to determine the correlation between TSS concentration and chlorophyll-a concentration using SPOT-6 data in Segara Anakan. The estimation of TSS concentration in this research was performed using empirical model built from SPOT-6 and TSS field data. Bands used in this research are single band data (blue, green, red, and near infrared) and transformed bands such as band ratio (12 combinations), Normalized Difference Suspended Solid Index (NDSSI), and Suspended Solid Concentration Index (SSC). The result shows that blue, green, red, and near infrared bands and SSC index significantly correlated to TSS. Afterwards, regression analysis was performed to determine the function that can be used to predict TSS concentration using SPOT-6 data. Regression function used are linear and non-linear (exponential, logarithmic, 2nd order polynomial, and power). The best model was chosen based on the accuracy assessment using Standard Error of Estimate (SE). The selected model was used to calculate total TSS concentration and was correlated with chlorophyll-a field data. The result of accuracy test shows that the model from blue band has an accuracy of 70.68 %, green band 70.68 %, red band 75.73 %, near infrared band 65.58 %, and SSC 73.67 %. The accuracy test shows that red band produced the best prediction model for mapping TSS concentration distribution. The total TSS concentration, which was calculated using red band empirical model, is estimated to be 6.13 t. According to the correlation test, TSS concentration in Segara Anakan has no significant correlation with chlorophyll-a concentration, with a coefficient correlation value of -0.265.
