In the present study, Phoenix Dactylifera L. extract is analyzed for its potential to prevent corrosion of aluminum under 1N HCl acidic media by weight loss measurement. Phoenix Dactylifera L. acetonitrile extract comprised of variety of phytochemicals like proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates, phenols, flavanoids, Phlobatannins, quinines, resins, steroids and triterpenoid. These phytochemicals are adsorbed on the surface of metals plates by means of hetero atom present in them. The adsorption behavior of these phytochemicals on the surface of Al plates is in accordance with langmuir...

This book describes adsorption of cupric ions on Phoenix Dactylifera L. leaves is described. The adsorption phenomena is found to be dependent on pH, adsorbent dose, initial concentration, temperature and agitation time. Further this process was evaluated by adsorption isotherms namely langmuir, Fruendlich, Temkin, Hasley, Jonovaic and so. Kinetic models pseudo first order, pseudo second order, Elovich, Intra-particle diffusion are also evaluated. The optimum conditions for cupric ion uptake were found to pH=1.5, adsorbent dose =0.2 gm, initial concentration= 10ppm, agitation time =30 minutes...

This study describes the use of plant waste as a bio adsorbent material for Lead ions removal from aqueous solutions. Abutilon pannosum (APL) and Grewia tenax (Forssk.) leaves (GTL) waste were used as an adsorbent after being modified by acid, base and organic solvents. Through the batch experiments the study was done as a function of pH, time, concentration of adsorbent as well as adsorbate, temperature etc. The adsorption mechanism was understood using various isotherms, kinetics and thermodynamic modeling. Kinetic studies are found best fitted with pseudo second order followed by Elovich...

Physiochemical and phytochemical studies of plants are important aspects of plant research for better understanding the composition, properties, and potential applications of various plant species. Physiochemical studies focus on the physical and chemical characteristics of plants and their constituents. These studies involve the analysis of various parameters, such as color, taste, Odor, solubility, pH, texture, and more. Physiochemical analysis to determine the organoleptic properties of plants, which can be important for various applications, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals....

In the present study, activated carbon is fabricated from male and female date palm leaves by chemical activation with phosphoric acid and is further examined for ferric ion removal from waste water. The study revealed that the uptake of ferric ions from aqueous media was found to be dependent on pH, adsorbent dosage, initial concentration, agitation time and temperature. The maximum adsorption capacity for male and female activated carbon was found to 17.2 mg/g and 22.2 mg/g respectively. The optimum conditions for ferric ions uptake from aqueous media by male activated carbon was found to...

Vitamins are micronutrients required by the body to carry out a range of normal functions. However, these micronutrients are not produced in our bodies and must be derived from the food we eat. Vitamins are organic substances that are generally classified as either fat-soluble or water-soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K) dissolve in fat and tend to accumulate in the body. Water soluble vitamins, such as vitamin C, are rapidly eliminated from the body and their dietary levels need to be relatively high. Vitamins boost the immune system, support normal...

Alkaloids are a group of naturally occurring chemical compounds that contain mostly basic nitrogen atoms. This group also includes some related compounds with neutral and even weakly acidic properties. Alkaloids are produced by a large variety of organisms which includes bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals. Alkaloids from different chemical groups have been widely analyzed by different LC methods. Several separation and detection methods have been developed and applied for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of plant materials, extracts, dietary supplements, body fluids, and other...
