Metal ions present in waste samples, industrial effluents, acid mines and other aqueous media constitute a serious challenge in different human activities. Solvent extraction a technique for preconcentration, separation and identification of trace amount of metal ions coupled with multivariate chemometric technique was used for the determination of Fe(II) and Cr(III) from solutions in the presence of bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine (SALEN). The influence of main extraction variables affecting the extraction efficiency was simultaneously studied and regression model equations illustrating the relationship between variables predicted. The extraction parameters (time of extraction, acid concentration, ligand concentration, temperature and metal concentration) were optimized using experimental designs with the contributions of the various parameters to extraction of the metal ions bound to the complexone evaluated using SPSS19.0 software. The statistically determined simulated models for the parameters were R2 = 0.946, 0.727, 0.793, 0.53, 0.53, 1.000 and F- values of 70.400, 13. 285, 15.348, 4.646 and 2.569×105 respectively for time of extraction, acid concentration, ligand concentration, temperature and metal concentration for Cr (III). For Fe (II), R2 = 0.243, 0.371, 0.519, 0.446, 1.000 and F-values of 0.964, 2.953, 4.310, 3.216 and 2.516×105 for time of extraction, acid concentration, ligand concentration, temperature and metal concentration respectively. The level of significance of the models as predicted was both lower than 5% making it feasible, efficient, reproducible and accurate. This means that metal ions at the conditions stated could be removed from waste samples, industrial effluents, acid mines and other aqueous media with extension in industrial scale application.

Planktonic Form

Metal fatty acid salts (MFAS) in untreated industrial effluents cause environmental pollution. The use of biocompatible agents for remediation may help in reducing the harm caused to the ambient aquatic organism. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous organism that thrives under harsh conditions and is resistant to toxic metal ions. The present study shows a proof-of-concept of using this organism in the biodegradation of MFAS. MFAS were prepared and we studied their effect on the growth of the planktonic form and the formation of biofilm by P. aeruginosa. We observed biofilm formation in the presence of all the MFAS when used as the sole carbon source, albeit the quantity of biofilm formed in the presence of cadmium and copper was less. There was no effect on the planktonic form of the organism but the formation of biofilm increased in the presence of magnesium palmitate. This study shows that metal ions play a pivotal role in the formation of biofilm. HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) analysis of the biofilm polysaccharide showed that hexose sugar was a major component when compared with pentose sugar. The structure of biofilm polysaccharide and the coordination of the metal ion with the biofilm polysaccharide were confirmed by FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) and Raman spectroscopy.

Textile Materials

In recent years, new textile materials have been developed through the use of nanotechnology-based tools. The development of textile surfaces with self-cleaning properties has a large combined potential to reduce the environmental impact related to pollution. In this research work, three types of textiles substrates (cotton, Entretela, and polylactic acid (PLA)) were functionalized with titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2) using chemical and mechanical processes (padding). During the functionalization process, two different methods were used, both of which allowed a good fixation of nanoparticles of TiO2on textile substrates. The samples were examined for morphology and for photocatalytic properties under visible light irradiation. A study aimed at evaluating the effect of pH of the aqueous solution of TiO2nanoparticles was performed in order to promote interaction between TiO2and the dye solution rhodamine B (Rh-B). The TiO2nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The measurement of the zeta potential of the TiO2nanoparticle solution proved to be always positive and have low colloidal stability. Chromatography (HPLC and GC-MS) analyses confirm that oxalic acid is the intermediate compound formed during the photodegradation process.

In the face of a growing human population and increased urbanization, the demand for pesticides will simply rise. Farmers must escalate yields on increasingly fewer farm acres. However, the risks of pesticides, whether real or perceived, may force changes in the way these chemicals are used. Scientists are working toward pest control plans that are environmentally sound, effective, and profitable. In this context the development of new pesticide formulations which may improve application effectiveness, safety, handling, and storage can be pointed out as a solution. As a contribution to the area, the microencapsulation of the herbicide oxadiargyl (OXA) in (2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) was performed. The study was conducted in different aqueous media (ultrapure water and in different pH buffer solutions). In all cases an increment of the oxadiargyl solubility as a function of the HP-β-CD concentration that has been related to the formation of an inclusion complex was verified. UV-Vis and NMR experiments allowed concluding that the stoichiometry of the OXA/HP-β-CD complex formed is 1 : 1. The gathered results can be regarded as an important step for its removal from industrial effluents and/or to increase the stabilizing action, encapsulation, and adsorption in water treatment plants.
