BOX 19395-4697, Tehran, IranJournal Article20171007Water pollution is a major global problem which requires ongoing evaluation and revision of water resource policy at all levels (international down to individual aquifers and wells. It has been suggested that it is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases, and that it accounts for the deaths of more than 14,000 people daily. Genetic algorithm-partial least square (GA-PLS), Kernel partial least square (GA-KPLS) and Levenberg-Marquardt artificial neural network (L-M ANN) techniques were used to investigate the correlation between retention time (RT) and descriptors for 150 organic contaminants in natural water and wastewater which obtained by gas chromatography coupled to high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOF MS). The L-M ANN model gave a significantly better performance than the other models. This indicates that L-M ANN can be used as an alternative modeling tool for quantitative structure–retention relationship (QSRR) studies.https://www.chemmethod.com/article_53806_ef6ed71ec4d7246e367f63a7ec20b964.pdfSami Publishing CompanyChemical Methodologies2645-77762120180101A Comparative Study for Adsorption of Alizarin Red S from Aqueous Samples by Magnetic Nanoparticles of Fe3O4, CoFe2O4 and Ionic Liquid-Modified Fe3O423385398310.22631/chemm.2017.101267.1015ENSedigheh KamranDepartment of Chemistry, Payame Noor University, PO Box 19395-3697 Tehran, IranNeda Amiri ShiriDepartment of Chemistry, Payame Noor University, PO Box 19395-3697 Tehran, IranJournal Article20171016The nanoparticles of CoFe2O4, Fe3O4, and ionic liquid-modified Fe3O4 with 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, (IL-Fe3O4), have been prepared and their characteristics for adsorption ofalizarin red S dye (ARS) have been compared. The mean size and the surface morphology of the nanoparticles were characterized by TEM, XRD and FTIR techniques. Adsorption of ARS was performed under different experimental conditions in batch technique. The isotherm evaluations show that the Langmuir model obtained better fits with the equilibrium data. The maximum adsorption capacities were 140.8, 192.3 and 256.4 mg of ARS per gram Fe3O4, CoFe2O4 and IL-Fe3O4 nanoparticles, respectively. The applicability of two kinetic models including pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order models were estimated as the basis of comparative analysis of the corresponding rate parameters, equilibrium adsorption capacity and correlation coefficients. The adsorption processes for the case of Fe3O4 and IL-Fe3O4 nanoparticles as adsorbents were endothermic but was exothermic when CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were used. The dye was desorbed by analkaline solution at pH 9.0 from Fe3O4 and by an acidic solution at pH 3.0 from both IL-Fe3O4 and CoFe2O4 nanoparticles. The recovered nanoparticles were successfully reused for more removal of the dye.https://www.chemmethod.com/article_53983_d7c2fe43f48db203d7e0fe8d1362fded.pdfSami Publishing CompanyChemical Methodologies2645-77762120180101On Topological Indices of Circumcoronene Series of Benzenoid39465492010.22631/chemm.2017.99300.1013ENYingying GaoCollege of Pharmacy and Biological Engineering, Chengdu University, Chengdu, 610106, ChinaMohammad Reza FarahaniDepartment of Applied Mathematics of Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST), Narmak, Tehran 16844, Iran.0000-0003-2969-4280Waqas NazeerDivision of Science and Technology, University of Education, Lahore 54000, PakistanJournal Article20171008Let G be a connected graph with vertex and edge sets V (G) and E(G), respectively. The first Zagreb index M1(G) was originally defined as the sum of the squares of the degrees of all vertices of G. Recently, we know a new version of the first Zagreb index as the Multiplicative Zagreb Eccentricity index that introduced by Nilanjan De and ε(u) is the largest distance between u and any other vertex v of G. In this paper we compute this new topological index of famous molecular graph “Circumcoronene Series of Benzenoid Hk”.https://www.chemmethod.com/article_54920_d551f06d798e71e5899f5b0eb7a9c5a6.pdfSami Publishing CompanyChemical Methodologies2645-77762120180101Rapid Synthesis of a Nano-sized Copper(II)Oxide by Calcination of the Cu(II)Schiff base Complex47555503010.22631/chemm.2017.105495.1023ENIran SheikhshoaieDepartemnt of Chemistry, Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, Kerman, 76175, Iran0000-0002-2450-7493Soheila DavaryDepartemnt of Chemistry, Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, Kerman, 76175, IranYoung Research Society, Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, Kerman, Iran.Samaneh RamezanpourDepartemnt of Chemistry, Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, Kerman, 76175, IranYoung Research Society, Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, Kerman, Iran.Journal Article20171112n this study, the Cu Schiff base complex was successfully synthesized through a facile and rapid method. Then, the complex was calcinated at 700 °C for 2 h under air atmosphere leading to CuO nanoparticles. The synthesized CuO nanoparticles were characterized by FT-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The XRD analysis confirmed that the samples were crystallized in the monoclinic CuO phase.The average crystallite size of the nano-sized of CuO nanoparticles was obtained at about 68 nm as determined by Debye- Scherrer equation from the data of X-ray diffraction.https://www.chemmethod.com/article_55030_3a149998f860a0dbb609cb7d8bcec208.pdfSami Publishing CompanyChemical Methodologies2645-77762120180101Determination of Cu, Co, and Pb in selected frozen fish tissues collected from Benghazi markets in Libya56635521610.22631/chemm.2018.109146.1027ENNabil BaderChemistry Department, Faculty of Science, University of Benghazi, LibyaHamad HasanChemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Omar Al-Mukhtar University, LibyaAhmed EL-DenaliChemistry Department, Faculty of Science, University of Benghazi, LibyaJournal Article20171202The concentrations of some heavy metals (Cu, Co, and Pb) were investigated in muscle, liver and gills of three fish species (Mullus surmuletus, Seriola dumerili, and Sparus aurata) collected from frozen fish markets in Benghazi city, Libya, during winter 2016, using flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The mean concentrations (μg/g) of the heavy metals in fish tissues ranged as follows: Cu (44.80 – 79.33), Co (198.66 – 238.26), Pb (56 – 192). The highest mean concentration, 238.26μg/g was recorded for Co in the muscle of Mullus surmuletus, on the other, the lowest mean concentration, 44.80 μg/g, was recorded for Cu in gills of Mullus surmuletus. The concentrations for Cu and Pb in all fish samples were over the Effect Range-Low (ERL) but were under the Effect Range-Median (ERM) in metal pollution index (MPI). The concentrations of (Cu, Co and Pb) were higher than the maximum permissible limits specified by some food regulatory bodies like WHO. The results indicate that heavy consumption of frozen fishes in Benghazi city markets may pose a health risk to the consumers.https://www.chemmethod.com/article_55216_bd6b32d2f5fb0ffa65f95b1bc2c6f43e.pdfSami Publishing CompanyChemical Methodologies2645-77762120180101Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry Analysis and Phytochemical Screening of Sterculiasetigera Oil64725521710.22631/chemm.2018.100782.1014ENMohamed EzeldinDepartment of Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Technology, Omdurman Islamic University, Khartoum, SudanDepartment of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Sudan University of Science and Technology, Khartoum, SudanChristina Yacoub IshakDepartment of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Khartoum, Khartoum, SudanMarim El JackDepartment of food Technology , Faculty of Science and Technology, Omdurman Islamic University, Khartoum, SudanSaid MiladFaculty of Veterinary Medicine, Zaytouna University, Tarhona, LibyaJournal Article20171011This research explored studied the gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the volatile organic compounds for normal hexane extract of Sterculia setiger seeds.

Especially spinels have been shown to be selective and active catalysts .Nano ZnFe2O4 ferrite synthesized by sol–gel auto-combustion method was found to be an efficient catalyst for acetylation of activated alcohols using acetic acid as reagent. A variety of activated alcohols undergo acetylation under the reaction conditions to afford the corresponding acetates in good yield. The salient features of this protocol include selectivity towards activated alcohols, use of cheap catalyst and environmentally benign protocol. The chemoselectivity of the protocol for activated systems making amines, phenols and other nucleophiles inert to the present reaction conditions makes this approach synthetically attractive and would supplement the many other protocols that are available.https://www.chemmethod.com/article_55218_223fe2b66cc3878f21ff10cd1efb4f7d.pdf
