1. The document presents two reaction-diffusion models to describe the competitive absorption of metal ions like copper, zinc, and cadmium in a polyethyleneimine (PEI) polymer matrix based on experiments reported in a previous study.
2. The models account for diffusive transport of ions into the interactive polymer layer and metal ion binding via coupled reaction equations. Differing ion diffusion rates and an ion exchange process induced by conformational changes in the polymer structure upon copper binding can explain the observed preferential absorption of copper over time.
3. Simulations of the models under different parameter conditions are discussed in relation to experimental observations of an initial rapid uptake of zinc and cadmium followed by a steady increase in
Efficiency of Carbonate Precipitation and Removal of Copper and Nickel Ions f...AnuragSingh1049
The effect of pH and initial concentration on the removal of Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions from their monocomponent and two-component aqueous solutions using Na2CO3 as a chemical precipitation agent was investigated in this paper. Monocomponent aqueous solutions of Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions with their initial concentrations of 50 and 500 mg/L and two-component aqueous solution with initial concentration of 500 mg/L were prepared. The precipitation was carried out by batch method at room temperature by stirring the solution at 300 rpm for 5 minutes, resulting in the formation of precipitates. The resulting precipitate was separated by filtration from the solution. The experiment proved that Na2CO3 is a good agent for removing Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions from their monocomponent water solutions of 50 and 500 mg/L concentration and two-component water solution with initial concentration of each metal 500 mg/L. The percentage of Cu(II) removal was higher at lower pH values compared to Ni(II) removal.

A study was conducted to check the efficiency of different fresh water algae for removing heavy metals (Cr, Cd, Ni and Pb) from contaminated water. The three most abundant indigenous algal species namely Ulothrix tenuissima, Oscillatoria tenuis and Zygogonium ericetorum were collected from fresh water channels of Parachinar, Pakistan and brought to the laboratory of Soil and Environmental Sciences Department at the University of Agriculture, Peshawar Pakistan for proper identification. To check the efficiency for removing heavy metals artificial contaminated water was prepared and was inoculated with mix culture of above mentioned algae and incubated for 10 days. After incubation algal species were removed from water through centrifugation and was dried, digested and analyzed for heavy metals. The results showed that the concentration of all heavy metals was substantially reduced in the algal inoculated contaminated water. The analysis of algal biomass showed that considerable amount of metals and other elements were recovered in algae. Among the tested algal species, Zygogonium ericetorum showed maximum removal Ni(99.40ug) and Cr(66.84ug) from contaminated water followed by Oscillatoria tenuis with 84ug(Ni) and 64.83ug(Cr) respectively. However Oscillatoria tenuis showed maximum removal of Cd(41.00ug) than the other algal species. Similarly Zygogonium ericetorum showed maximum removal of Pb (451ug) followed by Ulothrix tenuissima where 441ug was recorded. Highest amount Cd, and Ni were recovered in Zygogonium ericetorum biomass while highest amount of Cr and Pb were recorded in the biomass of Oscillatoria tenuis. Finally it could be concluded that algae have efficiently removed heavy metals from contaminated water. Further research is needed to test other algal species for removal of heavy metal and other elements from the contaminated water.

Cobalt-entrenched N-, O-, and S-tridoped carbons as efficient multifunctional...Pawan Kumar
We report the synthesis of sustainable and reusable non-noble transition-metal (cobalt) nanocatalysts
containing N-, O-, and S-tridoped carbon nanotube (Co@NOSC) composites. The expensive and benign
carrageenan served as the source of carbon, oxygen, and sulfur, whereas urea served as the nitrogen
source. The material was prepared via direct mixing of precursors and freeze-drying followed by carbonization
under nitrogen at 900 °C. Co@NOSC catalysts comprising a Co inner core and outer electron-rich
heteroatom-doped carbon shell were thoroughly characterized using various techniques, namely, TEM,
HRTEM, STEM elemental mapping, XPS, BET, and ICP-MS. The utility of the Co@NOSC catalyst was
explored for base-free selective oxidative esterification of alcohols to the corresponding esters under
mild reaction conditions; excellent conversions (up to 97%) and selectivities (up to 99%) were discerned.
Furthermore, the substrate scope was explored for the cross-esterification of benzyl alcohol with longchain
alcohols (up to 98%) and lactonization of diols (up to 68%). The heterogeneous nature and stability
of the catalyst facilitated by its ease of separation for long-term performance and recycling studies
showed that the catalyst was robust and remained active even after six recycling experiments.
EPR measurements were performed to deduce the reaction mechanism in the presence of POBN
(α-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone) as a spin-trapping agent, which confirmed the formation of
•CH2OH radicals and H• radicals, wherein the solvent plays an active role in a nonconventional manner.
A plausible mechanism was proposed for the oxidative esterification of alcohols on the basis of EPR
findings. The presence of a cobalt core along with cobalt oxide and the electron-rich N-, O-, and
S-doped carbon shell displayed synergistic effects to afford good to excellent yields of products.

Synthesis and Characterization of MOF based Composites for Energy storage app...Danyal Hakeem Jokhio
Despite extensive efforts and research put in the field, conventional energy storage devices (ESDs) such as various supercapacitors and batteries are near their performance limit in terms of power densities, energy densities, capacitance, charge retention, and cyclic stability. This is primarily due to limiting intrinsic properties of the electrode materials such as average surface area and poor porosity, combined with sluggish redox kinetics due to lack of electrode functionality. So, the need of the hour is to explore new materials for efficient storage of the energy. Among these new materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can serve as potential candidates because they have high specific surface area, high porosity with tuneable morphology and hence tuneable pore size, functionality linking to active metal sites and ligands. However, there remains a gap in fully utilising MOFs in energy storage applications commercially. Due to the highly porous nature of MOFs, their structural stability is compromised especially in aqueous electrolytes. To utilize the maximum potential of MOFs as electrode materials, it is of utmost importance to address poor structural integrity and low intrinsic conductivity of MOFs.
In this work, it has been tried to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks of MOFs by using additives of conductive nature such as graphene nanoplatelets (GNP). Hydrothermal approach was used to synthesize hybrid MOF by controlling molar ratio of Nickel and Cobalt in combination with different organic ligands. As a battery-type supercapacitor electrode material, the 2:1 Ni/Co hybrid MOF with 40mg GNP, using terephthalic acid as ligand, delivered a high specific capacity of 658.8 C·g−1 at the current density of 1 A·g−1. Similarly, the 1:2 Ni/Co hybrid MOF, using 2-MethylImidazole as ligand, delivered a high specific capacity of 642.4 C·g−1 at the current density of 1 A·g−1. Moreover, breakthrough results were obtained by optimizing synthesis with in-situ deposition on nickel foam of 2:1 Ni/Co (with 40mg GNP) hybrid MOF, which produced an impressive specific capacity of 1264 C·g−1 at 1 A/g, surpassing, to the best of our knowledge, most of the previously reported MOF based electrode materials.
This work not only develops a high-performance electrode material of supercapacitor, but being the first of its kind in Pakistan, also provides the foundation of systematic research for the electrochemical properties of multi-metal MOFs.
Removal of heavy metals from wastewater by carbon nanotubesAshish Gadhave
Advent of nanotechnology has introduced us with new generation of adsorbents such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
which have aroused widespread attention due to their outstanding ability for the removal of various inorganic and
organic pollutants from large volumes of water. This article reviews the practical feasibility of various kinds of raw
and surface modified carbon nanotubes for adsorption of heavy metal ions from wastewater. Further, properties of
CNTs (adsorption sites), characterization of CNTs (pore volume, BET surface area, surface total acidity, surface
total basicity) and solution properties (ionic strength, effect of pH) are explained very well. The adsorption
mechanisms are mainly attributable to chemical interactions between metal ions and surface functional groups of the CNTs. The adsorption capacity increases to greater extend after functionalization i.e. surface oxidation of CNTs. Future work on developing cost effective ways of production of CNTs and analyzing its toxicity are recommended.

/g for NaFe3Zn3S17, KFe3Zn3S17, and RbFe3Zn3S17, respectively. The effect of the
counter ions (K, Na, and Rb) wasstudied by examined the adsorption capacities of the resulting
chalcogels toward different gases and volatile organic compounds. The measurements showed that
CO2 and toluene adsorption capacities increase with the polarizability of the surface atoms in the
following order: Rb chalcogel> K chalcogel> Na chalcogel.This finding reveals a trend based on
cation size and acid–base surface properties that might have a significant impact on altering
adsorptive properties of chalcogels by using more polarizable counter ions.

The removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater is of great concern as heavy metals are non-biodegradable, toxic elements that cause serious health problems if disposed of in the surrounding environment. The present study, Karisalangkani (Eclipta Alba) leaves were used for the adsorption of heavy metals like copper (Cu (II)) ions. The bio sorbent was characterized using SEM and BET analysis. The bio sorption experiments are conducted through batch system. The operating parameters studied were initial metal ion concentration, adsorbent dosage, initial solution pH, contact time and effect of temperature Adsorption equilibrium is achieved in 30 min and the adsorption kinetics of Cu (II) is found to follow a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Equilibrium data for Cu (II) adsorption are fitted well by Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity for Cu (II) ions is estimated to be 9.2 mgg at 25 °C. The experimental result shows that the materials have good potential to remove heavy metals from effluent and good potential as an alternate low cost adsorbent. Due to their outstanding adsorption capacities, Eclipta Alba is excellent sorbents for the removal of copper (II) ions. B. Kavitha | R.

Iron acquisition and mineral transformation by cyanobacteria living in extrem...Sérgio Sacani
Iron is an essential micronutrient for most living organisms, including cyanobacteria. These microorganisms have
been found in Earth's driest polar and non-polar deserts, including the Atacama Desert, Chile. Iron-containing
minerals were identified in colonized rock substrates from the Atacama Desert, however, the interactions be-
tween microorganisms and iron minerals remain unclear. In the current study, we determined that colonized
gypsum rocks collected from the Atacama Desert contained both magnetite and hematite phases. A cyanobacteria
isolate was cultured on substrates consisting of gypsum with embedded magnetite nanoparticles. Transmission
electron microscopy imaging revealed a significant reduction in the size of magnetite nanoparticles due to their
dissolution, which occurred around the microbial biofilms. Concurrently, hematite was detected, likely from the
oxidation of the magnetite nanoparticles. Higher cell counts and production of siderophores were observed in
cultures with magnetite nanoparticles suggesting that cyanobacteria were actively acquiring iron from the
magnetite nanoparticles. Magnetite dissolution and iron acquisition by the cyanobacteria was further confirmed
using large bulk magnetite crystals, uncovering a survival strategy of cyanobacteria in these extreme
environments.
Considering the importance of the healthy coral reef ecosystems to Langkawi’s economy as well as to the global coral reef biodiversity, the present study provided the baseline database regarding on distribution of heavy metals concentration (Cd, Cu, Pb) and the trend of heavy metals accumulation in Diploria Labyrinthiformis and Favia Pallida corals at Pulau Langkawi region. This report showed the level of heavy metal contamination in each of 5 years growth rate bands in both coral specie susing AAS. The averages of heavy metals concentration in Diploria Labyrinthiformis were 0.018±0.002 mg/L, 0.044±0.11 mg/L, and 0.120±0.01 mg/L for Cd, Cu, and Pb respectively. Meanwhile the concentrations of heavy metals for Favia Pallida were 0.017±0.02 mg/L, 0.088±0.004 mg/L, and 0.218±0.14 mg/L for Cd, Cu, and Pb respectively. Both species showed the low concentration and not exceeding the MPI safety level that indicated that the corals were not impacted by pollution. The trend and correlationships of the Cd, Cu, and Pb in the bands coral slab showed the increasing trend of concentration which were increased gradually from the surface (youngest) to bottom (oldest) layer for the samples.

ABSTRACT
Interaction of elements in the course of element uptake by carrot
(Daucas carota cv. U.S. harumakigosun) exerted by the addition of ele-
ments, such as Rb, Zn, and Al, was investigated. For the purpose of pre-
cise evaluation of uptake behavior, the simultaneous determination of
absorption of Na, Be, Sr, Mn, Co, Zn, Ce, Pm, and Gd was conducted by
the multitracer technique. For root uptakes, Al exhibited its influence on
the uptake of essential elements and on the uptake of toxic or unbenefi-
cial ones, presumably as a result of the large electric valency that caused
cell membrane disintegrity. On the other hand, Zn as a divalent cation
only affected the uptake of essential and beneficial elements. Rubidium,
which is a monovalent cation, did no ...
Use of conventional sources of energy to generate electricity is
increasing rapidly due to growing energy demands in every sector which is the major cause for pollution as well and also is an environmental concern for future. Considering this, there is lot of R&D going on in the field of alternate energy sources with recent advancements in technology. One of the recent advancement is the perovskite solar technology in the photovoltaics industry. The power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells has been improved from 9.7 to 20.1% within 4 years which is the fastest advancement ever in the photovoltaic industry. Such a high photovoltaic performance can be attributed to optically high absorption characteristics of the hybrid lead perovskite materials.
In this review, different perovskite materials are discussed along with the fundamental details of the hybrid lead halide perovskite materials. The fabrication techniques, stability, device structure and the chemistry of the perovskite structure are also described aiming for a better understanding of these materials and thus highly efficient perovskite solar cell devices. In addition some advantages and drawbacks are also discussed here to outline the prospects and challenges of using the perovskites in commercial PV devices.
