Globally, environmental pollution is an important issue. Various pollutants present in water resources, such as bacteria, heavy-metal ions, and organic pollutants, cause serious problems to the environment, animals, plants, and human health. Among the water resources, pollutants, dyestuff, which is discharged from dyeing, textile, and other industrial processes, is an important class of pollutants. Removing these dye pollutants from water resources and wastewater is vital and important due to their toxicity. In this work, a CrFeO3-carbon nanotube (CNT) adsorbent was synthesized using environmentally friendly methods. The synthesized CrFeO3-CNT adsorbent was characterized stoichiometrically, spectroscopically, and morphologically. The synthesized CrFeO3-CNT adsorbent was tested for the removal of two dyes: Methyl violet 2B (MV) and Azocarmine G2 (AC) from an aqueous solution. Crushing CrFeO3 composite with multi-walled fullerene CNT to prepare CrFeO3-CNT adsorbent improved the adsorption performance of free multi-walled fullerene CNT towards MV dye by 30% and towards AC dye by 33.3%.
Two Co(ii) and Cr(iii) complexes were synthesized, characterized and examined as corrosion inhibitors. The electrochemical data showed high inhibition efficiencies with mixed-type behavior. FMO and NBO were considered for the computational analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
