The C. gigantea leaf extract was mixed with AgNO3 solutions at concentrations of 2, 5, and 9 mM, respectively. The mixture was stirred at 80 rpm by a magnetic stirrer for 48 hours in the dark. The change in solution color indicated the reduction of Ag+ to Ag0. The resulting AgNPs synthesized using C. gigantea leaf extract (AgNPs-LCg) exhibited cloudy grey, reddish dark brown, and light brown colors when synthesized with AgNO3 concentrations of 2, 5, and 9 mM, respectively. The particle sizes of AgNPs-LCg had maximum frequencies at 246.98 nm (synthesized using AgNO3 2 mM), 93.02 nm (synthesized using AgNO3 5 mM), and 171.25 nm (synthesized using AgNO3 9 mM). The zeta potential values of AgNPs-LCg using 2, 5, and 9 mM AgNO3 were -41.9, -40.1, and -31.4 mV, respectively. Based on th...

The objective of this study is to determine the effect of Fe (II) and Mg (II) on the determination of Pb (II) using the complexing agent 1,10-phenanthroline. The absorbance determination using a spectrophotometer was conducted at a wavelength of 302.5 nm for Pb (II)-1,10-Phenanthroline. Linear correlation between the investigated absorbance on Pb concentration was represented by a linear equation of y = 0.0131 x + 0.8693 (R2= 0.9613). From the linear equation, it was obtained the increase in sensitivity and linearity for Mg (II), as well as the decrease in sensitivity and linearity for Fe (II). It revealed that Fe (II) and Mg (II) affects the analysis of Pb (II) using 1,10-phenanthroline complexing agent. In order to achieve stability of Pb (II)-1,10-Phenanthroline, it was compared with Mg (II)-1,10-Phenanthroline and Fe (II)-1,10-Phenanthroline. It suggested that Pb (II), Mg (II) and Fe (II) had an equivalent binding strength against 1,10-Phenanthroline.

In this study, a chitosan membrane was modified utilizing starch and cross-linking agent (citric acid) addition. The characterization of chitosan-starch membranes using Universal Testing Machine, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) had proven the cross-linking formation. The cross-linked membrane had better tensile strength (11.07 kgf/mm2) than the uncross-linked membrane (66.07kgf/mm2). The DSC thermogram of uncross-linked and cross-linked membranes showed endothermic and exothermic peaks at different temperatures. In addition to the membranes’ thermal characteristics, the DTA thermogram showed the decomposition process on the uncross-linked membrane uncross-linking occurred at a temperature range of 277.74-363.27 °C, while the decomposition of the cross-linked membrane was observed at a range of 287.83-356.38 °C. The FT-IR spectra confirmed a decrease in the intensity of the absorption peak associated with cross-linking formation within the membrane.

Here we have probed the micronutrients in Moringa oleifera leaves using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). The time-resolved and time-integrated LIBS data reveal the presence of Ca, Mg, K, C, Si, Fe, Al, Ti, Sr, Na, H, O, and Li. The plasma temperature and electron number density required for the elemental composition analysis were estimated to be (6375 ± 500) K from the Saha-Boltzmann plot and (1.0 ± 0.2) 1017 cm−3 from the Stark broadened Hα line, respectively. Elemental analysis of the samples was performed using one-line calibration free LIBS (CF-LIBS). The results reveal that C is the major element together with Ca, Mg, K, Fe Na, Al, Ti, Sr, and Li as micronutrients. The concentrations of the micronutrients determined by CF-LIBS were validated by inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). LIBS has been demonstrated to be a practical candidate for the detection of potentially toxic elements (Li, Al, Si, and Sr) as well as for the compositional analysis.
