In this study, magnetite nanoparticles-modified low-cost activated carbon (MMAC) was used as an adsorbent for the removal of the anionic and cationic dyes Congo red, reactive blue 19, thionine, janus green B, methylthymol blue and mordant Blue 29, from aqueous solutions. Batch studies were performed to address various experimental parameters like pH, contact time, temperature and adsorbent dosage for the removal of these dyes. Kinetic studies showed that the adsorption of dyes on MMAC was a rapid process. Quasi equilibrium was reached in 30 min. Pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order models were used to fit the experimental data. Pseudo-second order rate equation was able to provide realistic description of adsorption kinetics. Equilibrium isotherms were analyzed by Freundlich, Langmuir, Redliche-Peterson (R-P) and Sips equations using correlation coefficients and RMS error function. Sips equation is found to best represent the equilibrium data for dye-MMAC system. It was clear that affinity of synthesized adsorbent to cationic dyes is much higher than anionic dyes.

Self-supporting porous S-doped graphitic carbon nitride as a multifunctional support of Au catalyst: Application to highly sensitive and selective determination of arsenic (III) in a wide range of pH

Somaye Ebrahimi, Abbas Afkhami, Tayyebeh Madrakian, Zahra Amouzegar

Summary: Heteroatom-doped carbon nitride (C3N4) materials were investigated as supports for Au nanoparticles, which were anchored on sulfur-doped carbon nitride nanosheets (AuNPs@SCNN) and used as a catalyst for arsenic electroreduction. The synthesis of novel SCNN was achieved through a simple thermally induced copolymerization route using ammonium persulfate (APS) as a sulfur source. The integration of SCNN with AuNPs improved the assembly quality and interface, leading to enhanced catalytic activity. The composite (AuNPs@SCNN/GCE) modified glassy carbon electrode exhibited enhanced electrochemical responses for the electrocatalytic reduction of arsenic.

Utilizing inner filter effect in resonance Rayleigh scattering technique: a case study with silver nanocubes as RRS probe and several analytes as absorbers

Rasoul Gheitaran, Abbas Afkhami, Tayyebeh Madrakian

Summary: The mechanism of the inner filter effect (IFE) can be effectively utilized in the design of innovative IFE-based sensors using resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) technique. Silver nanocubes (Ag NCs) with tunable extinction spectra were employed as RRS probes, and three typical analytes, doxorubicin (DOX), sunitinib (SUN), and Alizarin Red S (ARS), were considered. The results demonstrated the feasibility of the newly developed IFE mechanism as an attractive analytical technique for measuring different analytes.

Electrochemical determination of cyanuric acid using the signal suppression of melamine on an overoxidized Poly-(para-aminophenol) coated glassy carbon electrode

Samaneh Hashemi, Abbas Afkhami, Mahdie Kamalabadi, Tayyebeh Madrakian, Arash Ghoorchian, Vahid Ghasemzadeh-Mohammadi

Summary: We reported a novel electrochemical sensor for the indirect determination of cyanuric acid (CA) using the complex formation between CA and melamine (MEL) for the first time. The sensor utilized the electrochemical conversion of MEL to electroactive polymelamine, with the decline in current intensity upon the addition of CA serving as the sensor response. A calibration curve was constructed using square wave voltammetry, with a limit of detection of 80.28 mu mol L-1. The proposed method showed excellent recovery range (91.2-101.0%) for real sample analysis.

Summary: We report on the synthesis and characterization of a dual stimuli-responsive hydrogel for pH and temperature-sensitive delivery of curcumin (CUR) anticancer drug. The release of CUR from the hydrogel was higher at acidic pH values, and the hydrogel remained stable at 37 degrees C. To enable thermal responsivity, polydopamine nanoparticles were embedded in the hydrogel. The GGPDNCs hydrogel is engineered to respond to both pH and temperature stimuli.

Applicability of a synthesized melamine based covalent organic framework as a novel ionophore for the potentiometric determination of mercury (II): Computational and experimental studies

Mohammad Reza Jalali Sarvestani, Tayyebeh Madrakian, Abbas Afkhami, Beheshteh Ajdari

Summary: In this research, the complexation of a newly synthesized covalent organic framework (schiff base network1) with different cations, including Hg2+, was studied. The results showed that schiff base network1 had a stronger interaction with Hg2+ compared to other cations, making it a potential ionophore for the development of a Hg2+ potentiometric sensor. A Hg2+ selective PVC membrane coated graphite electrode was successfully created using schiff base network1, which exhibited excellent response and sensitivity for the detection of Hg2+ in a wide range of concentrations. The electrode also demonstrated good performance in non-aqueous environments and had a long lifespan.

Fatemeh Ghobadi Seresht, Mazaher Ahmadi, Sina Khalili, Mohsen Majidi

Summary: This paper describes the development of a low-cost yet efficient PEDD-based photometer. It utilizes a white LED as the emitter diode, an RGB LED as the detector diode (a novelty), and a multimeter for signal recording. The photometer was used to detect 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in soil samples by using a Meisenheimer complex of TNT with NaOH in acetonitrile as a probe. The method showed a linear calibration curve in the concentration range of 0.86 to 110 μg g(-1), with a detection limit of 0.27 μg g(-1) and a quantification limit of 0.81 μg g(-1). Analysis of soil samples from Iran Cinema and Television Town revealed trace residues of TNT.
