The ZSM-5 zeolite was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and has the characteristics of pure zeolites. The application of the ZSM-5 zeolite as an adsorbent to remove Pb(II) and U(VI) from aqueous solutions was studied with the maximum adsorption capacities of 20.1 mg/g for Pb(II) and 37.6 mg/g for U(VI) at pH 3.0 and 0.010 mol/L NaNO3, respectively. The uptakes of Pb(II) and U(VI) from aqueous solutions are strongly dependent on pH and weakly dependent on ionic strength, and reach equilibrium within 4 h of contact time at T = 25 +/- 2 degrees C. The adsorption processes can be well described by the pseudo-second-order rate equation and classical Langmuir model. Experimental results exhibited a potential application of the ZSM-5 zeolite in Pb(II) and U(VI) pollution cleanup. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Mathematical modeling for peristalsis of couple stress nanofluid

Zahid Nisar, Tasawar Hayat, Ahmed Alsaedi, Bashir Ahmad

Summary: The current article investigates the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) radiative peristaltic flow of a couple stress nanoliquid in a symmetric channel. The influences of Joule heating, viscous dissipation, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, and a first-order chemical reaction on the flow characteristics are examined. The findings show that temperature increases with increasing Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameters, while it decreases with radiation variable. The concentration of the fluid decreases for a couple stress fluid variable, and the heat transfer coefficient increases with the Eckert number.

Generalized Fractional Differential Systems with Stieltjes Boundary Conditions

Nemat Nyamoradi, Bashir Ahmad

Summary: This work explores the existence of solutions to a new class of boundary value problems, which consist of a system of nonlinear differential equations with generalized fractional derivative operators of different orders and nonlocal boundary conditions containing Riemann-Stieltjes and generalized fractional integral operators. The study emphasizes that the nonlinearities in the system are of general form, depending on both the unknown functions and their lower order generalized fractional derivatives. The uniqueness of the given problem is proved by applying the Banach contraction mapping principle, and the existence of solutions for the given system is demonstrated using Leray-Schauder alternative. Two concrete examples are provided to illustrate the obtained results.

Entropy generation in bioconvection hydromagnetic flow with gyrotactic motile microorganisms

Sohail A. Khan, T. Hayat, A. Alsaedi

Summary: In this study, the magnetohydrodynamic bioconvective flow of a non-Newtonian nanomaterial over a stretched sheet is analyzed. The convective conditions and irreversibility analysis in the presence of gyrotactic micro-organisms are discussed. Energy expressions considering thermal radiation, heat generation, and ohmic heating are used. By employing Buongiorno's model, the characteristics of the nanoliquid through thermophoresis and random diffusions are studied. Nonlinear expressions of the model are transformed through adequate transformations and computed using the Newton built in-shooting technique. Graphical studies are conducted on influential variables for velocity, concentration, microorganism field, temperature, and entropy rate. Significant findings include velocity reduction with bioconvection Rayleigh number and magnetic variable, temperature augmentation with higher heat generation variable, and entropy and temperature enhancement with increased magnetic variable.

Aneeta Razaq, Tasawar Hayat, Sohail A. Khan, Ahmed Alsaedi

Summary: This study investigates the hydromagnetic entropy optimized flow of a hybrid nanoliquid (Pb + Fe2O3/C2H6O2) on a curved stretchable surface. The Darcy-Forchheimer model is used for the porous space, with lead (Pb) and ferric oxide (Fe2O3) as the nanoparticles and ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) as the base liquid. The effects of various variables on velocity, thermal field, and entropy are analyzed. The results show that an increase in thermal relaxation time enhances heat transport rate and temperature, while an increase in the magnetic variable intensifies entropy and thermal field.

Artem A. Petrov, Ekaterina A. Titova, Aydar A. Akhmadiyarov, Ilnaz T. Rakipov, Boris N. Solomonov

Summary: This work focuses on the thermochemistry of solvation of azeotropes. The enthalpies of dissolution of azeotropes in different mediums were determined, and the impact of the structure of the azeotropes on their properties in solution was discussed. A correlation between enthalpies of solvation and molar refraction was used to determine the vaporization enthalpies of azeotropes for the first time. The results were found to be consistent with literature data, obtained using direct and calculated methods. These findings contribute to the analysis of the structure-property relationships of azeotropes.

Surface adsorption of adenine on pristine and B/N/O/P-doped coronene as a biosensing substrate for DNA detection- DFT study

R. Aneesh Kumar, S. Jamelah Al-Otaibi, Y. Sheena Mary, Y. Shyma Mary, Nivedita Acharjee, Renjith Thomas, Renjith Raveendran Pillai, T. L. Leena

Summary: In this study, the interactions between doped and pristine coronenes and adenine nucleobases were investigated using Density Functional Theory. The optimal configurations, adsorption energies, charge transfer, and electrical properties of each complex were calculated. It was found that doped coronene had stronger adsorption strength and charge transfer compared to pristine coronene. The stability of the complexes was attributed to non-covalent interactions in the interactive region. The change in electrical conductivity of coronenes after adsorption suggested their sensitivity towards DNA bases. The predicted energy gap and prolonged recovery time for adenine-coronene configurations indicated the potential application of pristine/doped coronene in DNA detection.

Summary: In this study, the selective oxidation of aromatic aldehydes was investigated using Ru(VI) as a catalyst and hexacyanoferrate (III) as a cooxidant in an alkaline medium. The reaction mechanism involves complex reaction orders for the oxidant and the aromatic aldehyde, while the reaction order for Ru(VI) is one. The proposed mechanism includes two catalytic cycles and the formation and decomposition of complexes. Quantitative structure-activity relationship analysis showed that deactivating groups in the para-position enhance the process.

Summary: This study evaluated the adsorption of zolpidem on magnetic graphene oxide and synthesized magnetic graphene oxide adsorbents for zolpidem removal. The best magnetic nanoadsorbent was found to have a removal percentage of 87.07% at specific pH and temperature conditions. The results suggest that the removal of zolpidem is related to the surface chemistry of the adsorbent rather than the surface area of graphene oxide. The adsorbent showed excellent adsorption efficiency and magnetic behavior, making it a promising material for removing zolpidem from aqueous solutions.

Summary: This study examines the sensitivity of the thermal conductivity of water-based alumina nanofluids to changes in concentration, sphericity, and temperature. The results show that volume fraction and temperature have a significant impact on the thermal conductivity, while sphericity also needs to be considered. A support vector machine regression model was created to analyze the sensitivity of the thermal conductivity to different parameters. The findings indicate that temperature, sphericity, and volume fraction are the most sensitive variables.

Summary: This paper reports on the synthesis, structural characterization, spectral and nonlinear-optical properties of glass nanocomposites made of glass forming ionic liquid crystals and nanoparticles. The study reveals that by exciting the nanocomposites within their absorption band, a control over effective optical nonlinearities can be achieved, allowing the modification of the magnitude and sign of the effective nonlinear absorption coefficient. The proposed strategy using metal-alkanoates based glass-forming ionic liquid crystals and nanoparticles shows great potential for the development of nanophotonics and plasmonics technologies.
