A dual-functional sulfone biscompound containing 1,2,3-triazole moiety for decolorization and disinfection of contaminated water

Abstract

Water decontamination from toxic dyes and pathogenic microorganisms is critical for life on Earth. Herein, we report the synthesis of sulfone biscompound containing 1,2,3-triazole moiety and evaluation of its dye decolorization and biocidal and disinfection efficiencies. The decolorization efficiency was tested under different experimental conditions, while the biocidal action was examined against various types of waterborne pathogens, and the disinfection of some pathogenic microbes was executed in artificially contaminated water. The findindgs illustrated that the solution initial pH (pHi) affected the decolorization efficiency significantly. About complete removal of 10 mg/L malachite green (MG) dye was achieved after 10 min using 3 g/L of the sulfone biscompound at pHi 6. The pseudo-second-order equation suited the adsorption kinetics accurately, while the equilibrium data was suited by Langmuir isotherm model. Electrostatic, n–π, and π–π interactions brought about the adsorption of MG onto the sulfone biscompound. The biocidal results indicated that the sulfone biscompound had a powerful antibacterial potential against the tested bacterial species. Likewise, the distinction trail revealed that after 70–90 min of direct contact with an effective dose, the tested pathogens could be completely eliminated (6-log reduction). Overall, the newly synthesized sulfone biscompound can efficiently remove cationic dyes and disinfect contaminated water.

Preparation and characterization of chemically cross-linked zwitterionic copolymer hydrogel for direct dye and toxic trace metal removal from aqueous medium

“…Nevertheless, in some cases, increasing the adsorbent amount to certain levels leads to its agglomeration. The agglomeration of adsorbent results in concealment of some adsorption sites and increasing the diffusion path length consequently decreasing the R% (Alene et al 2021 ; El-Naggar et al 2022 ; Giri et al 2022 ; Igwegbe et al 2021 ; Radwan et al 2022 ).…”

“…In terms of their anticancer activity [7] [20][21], 1,2,3-Triazoles have been observed to exert their effects through various mechanisms [22], as illustrated in Figure 2. These mechanisms involve the inhibition of crucial enzymes such as carbonic anhydrases (CAs), thymidylate synthase (TS), aromatase, tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) [18] [23], all of which contribute to the progression of this life-threatening disease [12][12] [13].…”
