Adsorptive removal of 2, 4 dichlorophenol by polysulfone/graphene oxide blended microcapsules immobilized with CYPHOS® IL 103 ionic liquid S Pandiarajan, S. Venkatesan, K. Balasubramani K Indian Journal of Chemical Technology, 2024 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), a phenoxyalkanoic acid herbicide, is among the most widely distributed pollutants in the environment. 2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), as the main metabolite which frequently detected in the environment resources. The toxicity of 2,4-DCP is more severe than that of its parent 2,4-D at any concentration levels. In this study, removal of 2,4-DCP from aqueous solution using graphene oxide (GO) + Trihexyl(tetradecyl) phosphoniumdecanoate [CYPHOS® IL 103] ionic liquid entrapped in polysulfone (PSF) capsule as an adsorbent (GO/IL/PSF microcapsule) is reported. Various techniques such as X-Ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Field emission scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller have been used to identify and confirm the formation of GO, functional group, surface morphology and surface area of the capsule. The adsorption capacity has been investigated under different experimental conditions including pH (2-10), initial 2,4-DCP concentration (20-100 mg L−1), temperature (293-313 K) and at 250 rpm. It has been found that 97% of 2,4-DCP removed from aqueous solutions with adsorption capacity (qe) of 388 mg.g-1 at optimized experimental conditions. The equilibrium adsorption of 2,4-DCP on capsule can be best described by Langmuir isotherm model, with a maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of 398 mg.g-1 at room temperature. The adsorption kinetics is well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model than pseudo first order model and Freundlich kinetic. These results shows that capsule have promising application for adsorption of 2,4-DCP from aqueous solution.According to desorption research, the IL/GO/PSF may be renewed six times with a 1 N sodium hydroxide solution. IL/GO/PSF microcapsule is appropriate for use in fixed bed columns, which treat huge volume of wastewater.
Morphological, optical and structural properties of pure, zinc and magnesium doped TiO2 nanoparticles for solar cell devices M. S. Manojkumar, , S. Venkatesan, S Pandiarajan, , and Journal of Ovonic Research, 2022 Zn2+and Mg2+ions doped Titanium dioxide had been synthesized using a hydrothermal method at 120°C with an annealing temperature at 450°C, including individual Zn2+and Mg2+ ions. In addition, impact of these doping metal ions on the crystallization and phase transition of the Titanium dioxide nanoparticles were discussed by X-Ray Diffraction spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy and Photo-Luminescence spectroscopy and also by photocatalytic measurements. The presence of anatase type structure in Titanium dioxide nanopowders with high crystallinity and high phase stability in spite of annealing at 450°C significantly specified that the dopants might prevent densification and crystallite growth in Titanium dioxide nanophase by on condition with different boundaries. Furthermore, with a suitable amount of Zn and Mg dopants, anatase grain size of Titanium dioxide powders was reduced. The band gap energy values of Zn2+ and Mg2+ ions doped nano-Titanium dioxide were lower than the pure nano-Titanium dioxide and they exhibited a red shift in the visible region

Optimization of Removal of Phenol from Aqueous Solution by Ionic Liquid-Based Emulsion Liquid Membrane Using Response Surface Methodology Arulmozhiappan Balasubramanian, Sivaramu Venkatesan Clean Soil Air Water, 2014 Response surface methodology was employed to optimize the removal of phenol from aqueous solution by ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate dissolved in tributyl phosphate) based emulsion liquid membrane. A “minimum run resolution V” central composite design with six variables (surfactant concentration, internal phase concentration, emulsification time, internal to membrane phase ratio, stirring speed and external phase pH) was applied to optimize the process. The optimized conditions for maximum removal of phenol were a surfactant concentration – 4.95% (v/v), internal agent concentration – 0.298 N, emulsification time – 4.07 min, internal to membrane phase ratio – 0.93, stirring speed – 247 rpm and external phase pH – 5.91 respectively. The results showed good fits with the proposed statistical model for removal of phenol (R2 = 0.9833).

Extraction of phenol and chlorophenols using ionic liquid [Bmim]+[BF4]- dissolved in tributyl phosphate A. Brinda Lakshmi, A. Balasubramanian, S. Venkatesan Clean Soil Air Water, 2013 In the present work, experiments have been carried out with a focus to reduce the volume requirement of solvent by mixing with imidazolium based ionic liquids (ILs) for the solvent extraction of phenol, p-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, and pentachlorophenol from aqueous solutions. The effect of aqueous phase pH (2–12), agitation speed (100–450 rpm), solute concentration in feed (2–50 mg/L), temperature (303–333 K), treat ratio (1–11), and 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate [Bmim]+[BF4]− volume in tributyl phosphate (TBP; 0–0.7% v/v) on extraction of phenols has been studied and optimized. Parameters like strip phase pH (3–13) and stripping agent concentration (0.001–0.009 N) have also been studied for stripping of phenols from solvent phase. It has been found that 0.5% v/v of ionic liquid [Bmim]+[BF4]− in solvent TBP extracts more than 97.5% of phenol and chlorophenols from aqueous solutions with a treat ratio (aqueous to solvent phase ratio) of 5. Transport mechanism for extraction and stripping of phenol and chlorophenols using ionic liquid [Bmim]+[BF4]− has been discussed. The results show that by appropriate selection of extraction and stripping conditions, it is possible to remove nearly all phenols with a treat ratio of 5.
EMULSION LIQUID MEMBRANE PERTRACTION OF METAL IONS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS AND ELECTROPLATING EFFLUENT USING ROTATING DISK CONTACTOR K. M. Meera S. Begum, S. Venkatesan, N. Anantharaman Chemical Engineering Communications, 2012 Removal of chromium (III), copper (II), and zinc (II) from synthetic aqueous solutions and electroplating wastewater by an emulsion liquid membrane technique (ELM) was studied using a rotating disk contactor (RDC). Kerosene as diluent, Span 80 as surfactant, di-(2ethyl hexyl) phosphate (D2EHPA) as carrier, and 1 N H2SO4 solution as internal stripping phase were used for emulsion preparation. RDC provides relatively low shear to emulsion and thus minimizes rupture of the ELM. Various hydrodynamic and chemical parameters such as metal ion concentration in the continuous (feed) phase, pH of the continuous phase, carrier concentration, agitation speed, internal stripping agent concentration, and flow rate ratio of continuous phase to dispersed phase (treat ratio) have been experimentally investigated. The results showed that it is possible to remove more than 95% of all metal ions from aqueous solutions with a concentration factor of more than 35 and a removal of 68–74% of three metal ions from the electroplating effluent.
