“…More specifically, the high surface area, enhanced chemical and thermal stabilities, and exceptional tunability of UiO-66 allow its versatile use in a range of applications . UiO-66-based adsorbents have previously been demonstrated to exhibit good efficiencies in the removal of dyes, insecticides, and metal ions; hence, it was expected that the UiO-66 framework might also be applicable for the adsorption and selective separation of CB derivatives as target pollutants. The separation of benzene derivatives is known to be both energy intensive and laborious because of their similar physicochemical properties .…”

Halogen bonding (HaB) is a weak interaction that assists in the recognition of nucleophilic molecules. However, HaB elements are currently under-investigated as a part of functional materials in separation science. Herein, we develop a novel approach for introducing HaB elements into UiO-66 to fine-tune the adsorption properties toward chlorobenzenes (CBs). A series of UiO-66 containing various contents of 2-iodoterephtalic acid (I-TA) (0%, 33%, 50%, 67%, and 100%) was prepared, characterized, and applied for the selective removal of CB contaminants from nonchlorinated aromatic analogues that cannot be separated by common distillation. Investigation of the structure–property relationship revealed that the highest adsorption capacity was achieved in the case of UiO-66 loaded with 50% I-TA (UiO-66-Iopt), and this was attributed to the balance between the number of HaB elements and the surface area of the UiO-66 structure. According to density functional theory calculations, the formation of a conjugate between dichlorobenzene and UiO-66-Iopt was more energetically favorable (up to 1.7 kcal/mol) than that of the corresponding conjugate with UiO-66. The formation of HaBs was experimentally verified by UV–vis, Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. To obtain functional materials for separation applications, waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was used as a support and feedstock for the surface-assisted growth of UiO-66-Iopt. The as-prepared PET@UiO-66-Iopt exhibited a close-to-perfect selectivity and reusability for the separation of a wide range of CBs from nonchlorinated aromatic analogues.

Abstract:The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effect of biofield energy treatment on the isotopic abundance ratios of P M+1 /P M , P M+2 /P M , P M+3 /P M and P M+4 /P M in p-DCB using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The p-DCB was divided into two parts -one part was control sample, and another part was considered as the treated sample which was subjected to biofield energy treatment (The Trivedi Effect ® ). T1, T2, T3, and T4 were referred the biofield treated p-DCB having analyzed at different time intervals. The GC-MS analysis of both the control and biofield treated p-DCB indicated the presence of the parent molecular ion peak at m/z 146 along with four major fragmentation peaks at m/z 111, 75, 55 and 50. The relative peak intensities of the fragmented ions in the biofield treated p-DCB were notably changed as compared to the control sample with respect to the time. The isotopic abundance ratio analysis using GC-MS revealed that the isotopic abundance ratio of P M+1 /P M at T1, T2, T3, and T4 (biofield energy treated p-DCB) was significantly increased by 10.87, 83.90, 225.16, and 241.15%, respectively as compared to the control sample. Consequently, the percentage change in the isotopic abundance ratio of P M+2 /P M at T1, T2, and T3 (biofield energy treated p-DCB) was enhanced by 4.55, 9.49, and 1.80%, respectively as compared to the control sample. Beside these, another two isotopic molecular ion peaks at m/z 149 and 150 were found in the GS-MS spectra due to arise from the contributions of various combinations of 2 H, 13 C, and 37Cl. The isotopic abundance ratios of P M+3 /P M in biofield energy treated sample at T1, T2, T3, and T4 was significantly increased by 15.14, 82.57, 192.43, and 218.31%, respectively as compared to the control sample. Similarly, the P M+4 /P M in biofield energy treated sample at T1, T2, T3, and T4 was significantly increased by 13.80, 86.66, 186.13, and 204.29%, respectively as compared to the control sample. Overall, the isotopic abundance ratios of P M+1 /P M ( Cl/ 35 Cl) were significantly enhanced in the biofield energy treated p-DCB. The biofield treated p-DCB has shown improved isotopic abundance ratios that might have altered the physicochemical properties, thermal properties and rate of reaction. Biofield treated p-DCB might be useful in pharmaceutical and chemical industries as intermediates during the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and chemicals by monitoring the rate of chemical reaction.
