Cured epoxy polymers EP/AlA and EP/ArA were investigated as potential protection coatings for carbon steel. Experimental results showed that EP/ArA had higher protective efficiency than EP/AlA, and the protective layer formed on carbon steel coated with EP/AlA and EP/ArA could prevent the attack of chloride ions. Quantum chemical analysis revealed that resonance interactions were the dominant interactions for both molecules. The FFV value of EP/ArA film was lower, indicating a denser coating compared to EP/AlA.
Cured epoxy polymers namely 3.30-(phenylazanediyl) bis(1-((6-aminohexyl)amino)propan-2-ol) (EP/ AlA) and 3.30-(phenylazanediyl) bis(1-((4-(4-aminobenzyl)phenyl)amino)propan-2-ol) (EP/ArA) were used as potential protection coatings for carbon steel (CS) in 3.5% NaCl solution. The protection coatings of EP/AlA and EP/ArA on CS were investigated through, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization curves (PC), atomic force microscope (AFM), scaning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle (CA), natural bond orbitals (NBO), frontier molecular orbitals (FMO), fractional free volume (FFV), radial distribution function (RDF) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. PC and EIS data indicated that the two cured epoxy polymers investigated have excellent protective efficiencies. Further, protective efficiencies of EP/ArA (92 and 94.6% for EIS and PC, respectively) are higher than that of EP/AlA (86.3 and 88.7% for EIS and PC, respectively) in 3.5 %NaCl solution. SEM and AFM results displayed the protective layer formed on CS coated through EP/AlA and EP/ArA could be stopped the chloride ions attack. Also, the quantum chemical analyzes of cured epoxy polymers EP/A1A and EP/ArA were employed at DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level to appraise the reactivity behaviors and possible regions via using the FMO and NBO methods. The results disclosed that the dominant interactions for both molecules were determined as the resonance (n ->Pi* and Pi ->Pi*) interactions. FFV value of EP/ArA film (20.22%) is lower than compared to EP/AlA (28.02%), due to the most condensed film by the EP/ArA on CS surface. Experimental results combined with theoretical approaches were used to investigate the proction coatings. (C) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Investigation of the anionic polyacrylamide as a potential adsorbent of crystal violet dye from aqueous solution: Equilibrium, kinetic, thermodynamic, DFT, MC and MD approaches

Imane Lebkiri, Brahim Abbou, Rachid Hsissou, Zaki Safi, Makfire Sadiku, Avni Berisha, Abdelhay El Amri, Youness Essaadaoui, Lamya Kadiri, Ahmed Lebkiri, El Housseine Rifi

Summary: This study investigates the use of anionic polyacrylamide hydrogels for the removal of cationic dye crystal violet from aqueous solutions. Batch adsorption studies show that the maximum adsorption capacity of the dye is 378 mg/g at an initial concentration of 300 mg/L, pH = 5, T = 298 K, and 0.039 g of the adsorbent. The adsorption mechanism follows the pseudo-second-order model, and the equilibrium adsorption follows the Langmuir model. Thermodynamic analysis suggests that the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic. Density functional theory (DFT), molecular dynamic (MD), and Monte-Carlo simulation studies were used to support the experimental findings.

Rachid Hsissou, Khadija Dahmani, Anouar El Magri, Abdelfettah Hmada, Zaki Safi, Nadia Dkhireche, Mouhsine Galai, Nuha Wazzan, Avni Berisha

Summary: In this study, a tetrafunctional epoxy resin called TGP was tested as a potential corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. Various techniques were employed to investigate the corrosion inhibition process, including PDP, EIS, TE, SEM, EDS, and theoretical approaches. The results showed that at the optimal concentration (10(-3) M), the epoxy resin had corrosion efficacies of 85.5% (EIS) and 88.6% (PDP). The resin acted as an anodic inhibitor, forming a protective layer on the metal surface and preventing sulfur ion attack. DFT calculation and RDF, MC, and MD simulations provided further insights into the inhibitory efficiency of the epoxy resin.

Summary: The aim of this study is to investigate the photocatalytic properties and chemical durability of the CaO-B2O3-V2O5 glasses system. The prepared borovanadate glasses were confirmed to be amorphous. Replacing V2O5 with B2O3 improved the chemical durability, which could be explained by the increase in glass transition temperature. The photodegradation of methylene blue by the prepared photocatalysts followed pseudo-first-order rate kinetics, and 40 CaO-30 B2O3-30 V2O5 showed the highest removal efficiency of about 99% in 180 min.

Summary: In this study, the anti-corrosion performance of 1-dodecyl-3-phenylquinoxalin-2(1H)-one (QO12) for carbon steel (CS) was evaluated using various techniques.

The adsorption of quinoxalinone followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. SEM analysis showed no corrosion deterioration after the addition of QO12.

Summary: The inhibitory performance of epoxy polymer (TGETBAU) on mild steel (M-S) in 1.0 M HCl solution was assessed using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The effects of TGETBAU molecule on corrosion inhibition and the adsorption of epoxy polymer on M-S surface were investigated using density functional theory calculation and molecular dynamics simulation. The highest inhibitory efficiency of 93% was achieved at 303 K with 2.0 g/L of TGETBAU. The corrosion of M-S was inhibited through Langmuir adsorption mechanism. The theoretical calculations were consistent with the experimental results. Moreover, M-S was protected in 1.0 M HCl, as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis.

Summary: The article highlights common pitfalls in the literature, including deductions based on isolated inhibitors, the limitations of quantum methods in accounting for environmental aggressiveness, distrust in interpreting small energy descriptor differences, and the use of simplistic surface models. The study focuses on local reactivity descriptors for the molecule 6-chloro-2-phenylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine, and highlights the importance of considering the corrosive medium's nature and concentration. DM and MC methods are used to account for inhibitor-metal interactions and the dynamic aspects of the adsorption process. The study reveals that the adsorption energy of CP-IPZH does not reflect the polarization resistance in different concentrations of HCl.

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: 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.
