Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Experiments were conducted at common lab temperature of 25 ± 2 °C. The pH of all the samples which are entering the reactor were adjusted on 3 using 0.1 M NaOH and 0.1 M H2SO4 [39 (link)]. Then, a specific amount of hydrated iron sulfate was added to the reactor. The sample was then mixed with the chemicals and homogenized with the electrical stirrer. The materials were dissolved in the wastewater under UV radiation for 30 min. Photo-Fenton experiment was initiated by gradual addition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) [29 (link)]. To prevent excess reactions in the sample, 0.1 mL methanol was added to the reactor, at the end of the experiment [40 ]. Eventually, COD and BOD5 of the outlets were measured by HACH DR/2800 and HACH BOD (HACH, US) instruments, respectively. The procedure was repeated for all trials.

Antioxidant activity was analyzed via the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazine (DPPH) free radical sequestration method [41 (link),42 ] using three duplicates of each sample.
Ethanol (Anhydrol, 99.5% purity) was used to dilute the oil samples, oil incorporated with the OL extract, and the OL extract to an initial concentration of 2000 µg·mL−1 each. Samples of the solution (250, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, and 2000 μL) were transferred to test tubes containing 2.0 mL of a DPPH methanolic solution (Anhydrol, 99.5% purity) (Sigma-Aldrich, purity ≥ 90%). After incubation for 30 min in the dark, the absorbance was measured using a spectrophotometer (Hach/DR 2800) at 517 nm. Methanol (Panreac, 99.9% purity) was used as the reference. The DPPH antioxidant activity was calculated using the following Equation (5): ADPPH(%)=(ADPPH(AAB)ADPPH)×100
where ADPPH is the absorbance of the DPPH solution, and A and AB are the absorbances of the samples and blank, respectively.
The sample concentration capable of reducing 50% of DPPH (EC50) was calculated from the linear equation of percentage antioxidant activity versus sample concentration (μg mL−1).

The BPA and caffeine solutions were prepared as described in Section 2.4.2. The collected permeate was measured by using UV-vis spectrometer (DR2800, Hach). The UV-vis absorbance was measured at 276 and 273 nm for BPA and caffeine, respectively. The EDC permeability (Aw,EDC) and rejection (REDC) were calculated using Equations (7) and (8):
where V is the total amounts of the collected permeate (L), A is the cross-sectional area (m2) and t is duration of treatment (h).

where Cp,EDC and Cf,EDC represent concentration of EDC permeate and EDC feed (abs) respectively.

Bacterial pathogen Xoc used in this study was provided by the Bacteriology Laboratory, Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, Universiti Putra Malaysia. The Xoc strain TKSC1 used in this study was previously characterized (Hata et al., 2019 ), and the Gen-Bank accession number for the sequence is MH560793. Xoc culture was inoculated in peptone sucrose agar supplemented with cycloheximide (0.05 g/l), cephalexin (0.04 g/l), and kasugamycin (0.02 g/l). Plates were incubated at 28°C for 3 days. The Xoc colonies were scraped off from the agar surface, and diluted in sterile distilled water. The concentration of the pathogen suspension was adjusted to approximately 107–108 colony forming units (cfu)/ml using a spectrophotometer (Hach DR2800, Loveland, CO, USA) at a wavelength of 660 nm. The highly disease susceptible Malaysian rice cultivar MR219 (Zuki et al., 2020 ) was used throughout this study, the seeds of which were obtained from the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI).

The performance of the HKUST-1/PMS/Vis system was evaluated in terms of the degradation of both cationic dyes (RhB and MB) and anionic dyes (AO7 and MR). For batch experiments, HKUST-1 and PMS were put into 100 mL of aqueous dye solution (10 mg L−1), then the light source turned on and stirring commenced to start the reaction. The visible light source (400–800 nm) was a tungsten halogen lamp (QVF135/500 W). The stirring speed and temperature were constant at 500 rpm and 24 °C, respectively. During the reaction, 6 mL of the mixture were taken out at regular intervals (15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 min) and filtered (0.22 μm), with the dye concentrations measured with an ultraviolet spectrophotometer (DR2800, HACH). The initial pH of the mixture was adjusted using NaOH (0.1 mol L−1) or HNO3 (0.1 mol L−1), and measured by a pH electrode (9157BNMD, Thermo Scientific, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
