Abstract This research focuses on the synthesis of carbon nanoparticles from glucose through the wet chemical method. The dimensions of the generated particles were evaluated through XRD technology, and the capacity of the synthesized nanoparticles to adsorb phenol particles on their surface was illustrated using UV-VIS and FTIR analysis. The calculation of the loading efficiency (DLE) indicated a remarkably high ratio. The dimensions and morphology of the nanoparticles post-adsorption were assessed through Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), revealing the presence of tiny particles within the nanoscale range. To assess the cytotoxic effects on pancreatic cancer cells, various medication doses were prepared utilizing the MTT assay. The results indicate that the generated phenol-loaded nanoparticles exhibit significant potential in eradicating cancer cells.

Abstract The availability of water does not always guarantee its quality, particularly when it is contaminated with iron (Fe), which poses health risks such as kidney failure, cardiovascular diseases, and digestive disorders. This study evaluates the potential of rice straw -modified Ca(OH)₂ (Rs-OCa) as an adsorbent for removing Fe(II) ions from groundwater. Rice straw, a widely available agricultural waste in Indonesia, was chemically modified to enhance its adsorption capacity by increasing active sites, removing lignin, and improving its affinity for metal ions. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, while XRD analysis revealed both crystalline and amorphous structures that contribute to stability and adsorption efficiency. Adsorption tests indicated optimal Fe(II) removal at pH 4–5 with an adsorbent dose of 0.75 g per 100 mL of solution. The adsorption isotherm followed the Langmuir model, with a maximum adsorption capacity (Qₘ) of 22.47 mg/g, indicating a homogeneous monolayer adsorption mechanism. The Freundlich model (KF = 8.91 mg/g, n = 2.5) further confirmed surface heterogeneity and high adsorption efficiency at low Fe (II) concentrations.The results demonstrate that Rs-OCa is an effective, economical, and environmentally friendly adsorbent for iron removal from contaminated water.

Abstract Water in its natural sources is exposed to many types of pollution, some chemical and some biological. Oil is one of the most common sources of water pollution affecting the coasts, seas, and oceans. Oil pollution of the environment leads to a group of very serious real disasters, some of which can be observed, counted, and controlled from the beginning of the pollution and for several days and months, and among them are not measurable. However, crude oil contains a small soluble fraction referred to as the water-soluble fraction (WSF). Oil pollution and its negative effects on the environment, especially on the aquatic environment and the living organisms that live in it as well as its effects on human health, as well as the causes and sources of oil pollution, and the impact of oil pollution on changing the physical properties of water. In this study different percentages (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 %) of crude oil were added to tap water, the results showed a marked difference in the physical properties of the water, where an increase in pH, electrical conductivity, and total dissolved solids was observed. Also, methods for treating spilled oil was studied. The results indicate that oil contamination significantly alters water quality parameters, with increased turbidity and reduced surface tension being the most prominent.

doi: https://doi.org/10.59429/ace.v8i3.5661
Abstract The Measurements of temperature relaxation (T 1 ) of methyl groups (CH 3 ) 3 , the tunnel splitting (ut Hz), and energy activation (Eg) of some organic chemistry samples were done in this work. The Measurements were performed at different temperature ranged from 4 – 300 K. It was found that the Eg values for all the compounds ranged from 480-1240 kg/mol and the data was used to measure the magnitude values of the potential energy barriers (V 3 ) of the (CH 3 ) 3  in these compounds. The thermal composition mechanism was also investigated and the results indicate the relationship between the hopping rate and the form and height of the levels hindering barriers of collective motion of methyl group protons in samples. In this research, additional calculation for CH 3  tunneling splitting as a result to tunneling frequency was also performed.
