In this study, a novel organic depressant maleyl 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (MATT) was synthesized and utilized as a galena depressant in the flotation separation of molybdenite and galena. The results of the flotation test indicated that MATT exhibited an excellent depression ability on galena but barely influenced the flotation of molybdenite in the pH range of 6.0–11.0. Zeta potential results suggested that MATT preferentially adsorbed on galena surface. UV-visible spectroscopy analysis indicated that the stoichiometric ratio of lead ion and reagent in the complex compound. XPS analysis demonstrated that the S (-SH) atom and N (1,3,4-thiadiazole group) atom of MATT coordinated with the Pb atom on galena surface.

The study focused on the green synthesis of silver nanobioconjugates (AgNPs) from phenolic-rich fruit source, Vitis vinifera seed extract and its major component phenolic, resveratrol respectively. Sunlight exposure for 20 minutes was the method of choice for the synthesis of AgNPs of the extract as well as the phenolic, resveratrol. The synthesized nanobioconjugates were characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Polydispersity index, Zeta potential and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The reduction of silver ions was confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy with peaks at 440nm for both nanobioconjugates synthesized from seed extract and compound. The nanobioconjugates showed the spherical in shape with 14-35nm in size and crystalline in nature. The conjugates are well dispersed with 0.301 and 0.287 polydispersity index and the zeta potential range at -13.6 and -14.3mV for stability. The FTRI data proved that the components in grape seeds act as good reductants and stabilizers for the silver nanobioconjugate synthesis. All the synthesized nanobioconjugates exhibited steady and sustained release of the medicinal components conjugated, proving their druggability, and were biocompatible with human cells, demonstrating their safety. The findings of the study validate the anticancer properties of silver nanobioconjugates of Vitis vinifera and its active component resveratrol.


Complex iron(III) salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone with a formula Na[Fe(STSC)2] have been synthesized. Ligand, salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (SCT) was prepared through the condensation reaction of salycilaldehide with thiosemicarbazide. Na[Fe(STSC)2] has been synthesized by reacting FeCl3 with thiosemicarbazide based ligand bearing ONS donor atoms. Complex has been formulated and characterized by mass spectrometry, infrared and UV/visible spectroscopy. The facts showed the formation of a complex in metal:ligand stoichiometric ratio 1:2. The ligand is coordinated as an ONS tridentate dianion via oxygen atom after the deprotonation of the phenolic OH-group, azomethine nitrogen and sulphur in thiol form of the deprotonated thiosemicarbazide residue. Antioxidant activity was determined, where ligand showed significant activity, while complex, at low concentration, exhibited almost no activity.

AbstractThis work aims to develop simple and cost-effective methods in reduction of Cr(VI) from water to less toxic and easy separated Cr(III) using Titanium dioxide (TiO2).TiO2 nanoparticles are prepared by a sol-gel method using titanium tetra-chloride and characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray Fluorescence spectrometer (EDX) and UV-visible spectroscopy. XRD shows Anatase structure of TiO2 after annealing at 600°C for four hours. The particles size is estimated to be 70 nm using SEM.UV-Visible spectroscopy indicated that TiO2 nanoparticles played important role in decreasing the concentration of Cr (VI) in water samples for different pH range of 1 to 4. The decrease in Cr(VI) concentration after the treatment is ascribed to the reduction caused by the photocatalyst effect that resulted from the presence of TiO2 nanoparticle in water samples under direct exposure to direct sunlight.

In this paper, a novel collector, dodecyl dimethyl betaine (BS-12), was used in the selective separation of ilmenite from titanaugite. The flotation performance and associated adsorption mechanism were studied by micro-flotation experiments, particle size analysis, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. The micro-flotation results indicated that BS-12 exhibited a stronger collecting ability towards ilmenite than titanaugite within an acidic pH range, and that the recovery of ilmenite was about 50% higher than that of titanaugite under the optimum flotation conditions. Particle size analysis demonstrated that BS-12 could selectively agglomerate ilmenite to a certain extent and then contribute to the flotation difference between ilmenite and titanaugite. FT-IR results showed some characteristic bands of BS-12 on treated ilmenite, and on titanaugite with BS-12. The XPS analysis further confirmed that BS-12 chemisorbed onto ilmenite and titanaugite in a similar way, but the limited active sites on titanaugite in comparison with ilmenite accounted for their differences in flotation.

In order to graft β-cyclodextrin onto chitosan fibers as more as possible, amino group of chitosan fibers should be protected by benzaldehyde firstly. Based on the similar structure of chitosan and cellulose fibers, different experimental programs were employed to discuss the possibility of β-cyclodextrin grafted onto chitosan fibers in the similar method. By infrared spectral and UV–visible spectroscopy analysis, the results showed although benzaldehyde could be grafted to chitosan fibers successfully to protect amino group, β-cyclodextrin could not be grafted further.

The biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles with plant extract is a promising alternative method to traditional chemical methods. Artemisia annua L is a well-known Chinese herb for its potent therapeutic anti-malarial activity and antitumor effects. Artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone derived from Artemisia annua L. Although artemisinin's anticancer effect has been extensively reported, the precise mechanisms underlying its cytotoxicity remain under intensive study. In the present work rapid and simple method for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles with the leaf extract of the therapeutic plant Artemisia annua L.was carried-out. The biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles were analyzed using spectroscopic methods like UV–visible spectroscopy. Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Zeta potential, and particle size. The green Aa-AgNPs are characterized by spectral analysis by Nanodrop-UV-visible spectroscopy. The surface Plasmon resonance peak of silver nanoparticles in colloidal solution showed maximum absorption 441nm. FT-IR spectroscopy results indicate the O-H phenolic group's participation, C=C aromatic stretching, N-H secondary amide stretching, and C-H methylene group stretching. Dynamic light scattering measurements of Aa-AgNPs revealed that the particle size is between 5-20 nm. The zeta potential of the green synthesized Aa-AgNPs was found to be -26.1 mV. The high negative potential indicates long-term stability. The antioxidant activity of Aa-AgNPs was evaluated by DPPH assay. The results revealed that they have very good antioxidant activity, which can be useful as a potential free radical scavenger. The biosynthesized Aa-AgNPs of Artemisia annua exhibited good antimicrobial activity. The Aa-AgNPs showed excellent catalytic activity in the reduction of lemon yellow and orange-red food dyes. The Aa-AgNPs can also act as an effective seed germination agent. Hence it is concluded that the green Aa-AgNPs can be useful for various biomedical and industrial applications.

This work controls the absorption of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) via green synthesis utilizingSargassumcrassifoliumextract. The amount of seaweed extract acts as both reducing (from Au+to Au0) and capping agent. TheS.crassifoliumextract is mainly composed of biomolecules such as protein and phenolic compounds which are responsible for the synthesis of GNPs. The synthesized GNPs were characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). UV-Vis spectra revealed peaks around 505 nm to 544 nm which corresponds to the Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) of GNPs. FTIR spectroscopy analysis showed peak at 825 cm-1and 1144 cm-1which corresponds to the signature peaks of GNPs. Polydisperse GNPs with varied sizes (between 5 nm to 300 nm) were further confirmed by TEM analysis.
