In this study, Magnetic Fe3O4-walnut sawdust nanocompositewas synthesized and used for removal of lead from aqueous solution. The size, structural, optical and morphological properties of nanoparticles have been analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscope )SEM) and Dynamic Light Scattering method. The effect of pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, initial concentration, ionic strength and the effect of temperature on the adsorption was checked out in a batch process mode. Using the equilibrium constants obtained at different temperatures, the thermodynamic results parameters were calculated as ∆G, ∆H and ∆S. The thermodynamic parameters showed that the uptake of lead is spontaneous and endothermic. The data were fitted with the Langmuir and Freundlich equations to describe the adsorption equilibrium. The maximum adsorption capacity by using Langmuir equation was calculated 12.99 mg/g. The kinetic data followed by Pseudo second. Owing to such outstanding features, Magnetic Fe3O4-walnut sawdust nanocompositeproved the great potential in adsorption lead removal from aqueous solutions.

Polyaniline/maghemite magnetic nanocomposite (PANI/γ -Fe2O3 MNC) was used as active agents for removal of lead ions from aqueous media. Chemical co-precipitation method was used to prepare the maghemite nanoparticles. Subsequently, the MNC was synthesized through polymerization of aniline. It was characterized by FT-IR.The efficiency of this MNC was estimated for Pb (II) removal by using batch method. The results showed that optimum conditions for lead removal were found to be at pH of 6, adsorbent dosage of 0.04 g and equilibrium contact time of 90 min. The kinetic of adsorption system have been studied based on the assumption of a pseudo-second order rate law. The adsorption isotherms were examined. The Freundlich adsorption isotherm model was found to represent the equilibrium adsorption isotherm better than Langmuir isotherm. The thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic process for lead.

Removal of Pb(II) and Zn(II) ions from aqueous solutions using naphthalene modified with 2-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzylidene) malononitrile(TMBM) as synthetic adsorbent was investigated. It was characterized by FT-IR. Batch method was applied for testing of adsorption behavior. Adsorption experiments showed, the new sorbent has high selectivity and good adsorption for removal of lead and zinc ions from aqueous solutions. Equilibration time was 5 min for zinc and 15 min for lead. There was little effect of salt on removal of the ions. The maximum adsorption capacities for Pb(II) and Zn(II) were 88.5 and 38.9 mg g-1, respectively. The thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption was spontaneous, exothermic and endothermic process for lead and zinc, respectively.

The Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship of a series of novel Thiazoline derivatives with anticancer activity has been studied by using the density functional theory by B3LYP/ 6-31G. Descriptors of quantum mechanics of 21 thiazoline derivatives with known activity were obtained. Multiple linear regressions were employed to model the relationships between molecular descriptors and biological activity of molecules using stepwise method. The most model shows not only significant statistical quality, but also predictive ability, with the square of adjusted correlation coefficient (R2=0.945) and standard error (SE=0.586). We find that the anticancer activity expressed that as half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50), closely relates to the highest occupied molecular orbital, dipole moment, softness, hardness, ionization energy, electron affinity. Accordingly can be offered a quantitative model, and interpret the activity of the compounds relying on the multivariate statistical analysis. This study shows that the prediction results were in excellent agreement with the experimental value. The results can offer some useful references for understanding the action mechanism and designing new compounds with anticancer activity.

In the present work, a new kind of alumina-based adsorbent with high selectivity and stability and efficient adsorption was prepared. Alumina was coated with an oxazolone azo dye, 2-(4-{2-[4-(dimethylamino) phenyl]-1-diazenyl}phenyl)-4-[1-phenyl methylidene]-5(4H)-oxazolone, and then used for preconcentration of trace amounts of palladium. The analytical procedure involved the complex formation of Pd with oxazolone azo dye as a chelating agent in buffer media of pH 5. The stability of sorbent was excellent and adsorption capacity did not change significantly after 100 consecutive uses of 50.0 mg of modified alumina. Under the optimum conditions, the preconcentration factor of the method was 150. The linearity was maintained in the concentration range of 0.33 ng mL-1 to 8.0 mg mL-1 in the original solution. For 2.0 µg mL-1 of Pd, the relative standard deviation 1.4% and detection limit 0.25 ng mL-1 was obtained. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of trace amounts of palladium in the anodic slime and wastewater samples.
