This study enquired the feasibility of applying graphene oxide/chitosan (GO/CS) sponges as an adsorbent for the removal of iodine-131 from aqueous answers. The adsorption efficiency was enquired using iodine-131 radioisotopes to confirm the results in conjunction with stable isotopes. The results breaked that the synthetic structure dwells of randomly connected GO rags without overlapping beds. The equilibrium adsorption data accommodated well with the Langmuir model. The separation factor (R(L)) value was in the range of 0-1, reasserting the favorable uptake of the iodide on the GO/CS sponge. The maximum adsorption capacity of iodine-131 by GO/CS sponges was 0 MBq/mg.
The highest removal efficiency was 92% at pH 7 ± 0. Due to its attractive characteristics, admiting its low cost, the ease of prevailing it, and its eco-friendly attributes, the developed GO/CS sponge could be used as an alternative adsorbent for removing radioiodine from wastewater.Immobilization of Candida rugosa lipase on magnetic chitosan beadworks and application in flavor esters synthesis.In this work, magnetic chitosan (MCH) beadworks were synthesised by phase-inversion method, and ingrafted with polydopamine (PDA) and then used for direct immobilization of Candida rugosa lipase by Schiff base reaction. The amount of immobilized enzyme and the retained activity were bumped to be 47 mg/g and 72%, respectively, at pH 7, and at 25 °C. The apparent Km (9 mmol/L), and Vmax (384 U/mg) values of the immobilized lipase were significantly changed likened to the free lipase. The MCH@PDA-lipase was better thermal and storage stability at different temperatures than those of the free lipase.
In hexane medium, the esterification reaction terminations registered that the maximum changeovers of isoamylalcohol and isopentyl alcohol to isoamyl acetate and isopentyl acetate using the MCH@PDA-lipase were retrieved to be 98 ± 1% and 73 ± 0%, respectively. These effects rendered that the MCH@PDA-lipase can be used as an operative immobilized enzyme system for many biotechnological diligences.Physicochemical expressions of design of ultrathin pics based on chitosan, pectin, and their silver nanocomposites with antiadhesive and bactericidal potential.Implant-refered infection is one of the serious problems in regenerative medicine. fucose structure to overcome the jobs induced by bacterial growth on the medical implants is their modification by bioactive applications. A versatile technique for projecting multilayer flicks with cuted characteristics at the nanometer scale is layer-by-layer assembly. In this study, multilayer films grinded on biopolymers (pectin and chitosan) and their nanocomposites with silver nanoparticles have been cooked and assessed.
The buildup of multilayers was monitored utilizing the quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation technique. The morphology of the finded movies was enquired by atomic force microscopy. We have attested that pectin-Ag-incorporating pictures were characterized by the linear growth and smooth defect-free surface. When pectin-Ag was subed for the pectin in the multilayer organisations, the props of the worked coatings were significantly shifted: the film rigidity and surface roughness increased, as well as the film growth assumed the parabolic character. All prepared multilayer flicks have shown antibacterial activity against gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria. The significant decrease in the number of the sticked E. coli on the multilayer surface has been ascertained; moreover, many of the cadres were misshapen with cytoplasm leaking.
fucose prepared multilayer cinemas pointed a mild activity against S. aureus predominantly due to the antiadhesive effect. Our answers indicate that antibacterial activity of biopolymer multilayers is limited by the film composition and physicochemical characteristics and can be assorted with their antiadhesive and bactericidal behaviors.Oregano and Thyme Essential Oils capsulised in Chitosan Nanoparticles as Effective Antimicrobial Agents against Foodborne Pathogens.The use of natural compounds with biocidal activity to fight the growth of bacteria responsible for foodborne illness is one of the main research challenges in the food sector.
