Abstract for the Doctor Thesis (less than 500 words):

Water pumped from the Phulelli canal within the Hyderabad city limits for agricultural

purposes were collected for water quality assessment for 20 different parameters. Five

pumping stations were selected within the area and were examined during Oct:1992 to

Oct:1994. The results at 95% confidence interval are tabulated and seasonal variations

are discussed.

The water samples form ecological important Manchar Lake, Hamal Lake and Main

Nara Valley Drain of Right Bank Outfall Drain project were examined during 1995. The

sampling scheme was repeated four times. The seasonal variations in the water quality

indicated some deranged parameters for the suitability for normal breeding of biological

life.

Industrial liquid effluents from Kotri SITE area, Jamshoro Thermal Power Plant (1993-

1994) and Lakhara Power Plant (1997) were collected and analyzed for water quality

assessment. pH, chemical oxygen demand and suspended solids crossed the permissible

limits of NQS for liquid effluents by EPA Pakistan.

The complexing reagents 2-acetyl pyridine-4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazone and 2-

picolinealdehyde-4-phenyle-3-thiosemicarbazone were examined for pre-concentration

of iron, copper, cobalt, lead and zinc and determination by flame atomic absorption

spectroscopy. The pre-concentration factor of 25 times was achieved and water samples

containing the metal ions within the range of 2.5 /L to 2.5 mg/L were estimated with

coefficient of variation within 1.7 to 7.4%.

The reagents Pyrroladehyde-4-phenyle-3-thiosemicarbazone and Pyrroladehyde-

thiosemicarbazone were examined as spectrophotometric reagent for iron, cobalt,

palladium, vanadium, nickel and mercury. Each of the complex obeyed the Beers law

within the calibration range at /ml level.

New analytical methods have been developed for the kinetic spectrophotometric and

spectrofluorimetric determination of the vanadium, nitrite and silver based on the

oxidation of chromotropic acid, bromopyrogallol red and Ponceau S with potassium

bromate or hydrogen peroxide. The conditions were optimized for the quantitative

analysis of each of the species and analytical methods were applied for their

determination in real samples.

Kinetic methods have been developed for the determination of iron, manganese and lead

based on the catalytic oxidation of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde-4-phenyle-3-

thiosemicarbazone with hydrogen peroxide. The methods could be used for the separate

determination of metal ions at ng/ml levels.A spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of titanium using

Ponceau S as derivatizing reagent. The method was used for the determination of

titanium in a pharmaceutical preparations.

A complexing reagent 2-picolinealdehyde-4-phenyle-3-thiosemicarbazone was used and

examined for the HPLC separation of mercury (II), cobalt (II) and iron (II) using simple

eluation solvent system. The separation indicated comparable results with the reported

results using toxic pyridine in solvent system. The method could be used for the

determination of metals.

Description of Postdoctoral Research Work ( Please add more paper if needed)

Name for the Research Program: Degradation of organophosphorus pesticides byozonation on fruits and vegetable

Description of Postdoctoral Research WorkUncontrolled use of agrochemicals, many of those are banned in numerous

countries, has generated increasing concentration throughout the world as a result of

the irreversible damages to the environment that these substances might cause.

Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) have been widely used as an alternative to

organochlorine compounds for the control of insecticide in a wide range of fruit,

vegetables, and grain all over the world. They are considered as one of the most

important classes of chemical pollutants owing to their widespread use and toxicity.The impacts of OPs on the environment were resulted from several factors: the

toxicity, the bioaccumulation and long-term effects, and the transport between

different organisms. Moreover, it has recently been determined that by-products of

transformation in the environment can play a significant role in defining the impact of

pesticides on both human health and the natural ecosystems. In recent years,

increasing attention has been paid to OPs in wastewater and foods for they pose

adverse risks to nontarget organisms and humans, inducing effects such as

neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity and reproductive toxicity. Residual pesticides can be

degraded by different methods, including oxidation, electrochemical degradation,

chloramination, chlorination, TiO2 catalytic treatment, biotreatment, and UV

photolysis. These techniques all have their own inherent disadvantages, for example,

the production of secondary pollutants in the case of catalytic treatment. Ozonation

has been developed in recent years and a number of novel advanced ozonation

processes have been proposed to improve oxidation efficiency.

A simple and rapid headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) method

in combination with gas chromatography with flame photometric detector (GC-FPD)

was used for the extraction and quantification of Ops.The specific experimental planwas as following.

1. Comparison of Different Degradation Methods: ozonation, detergent, washing

rice water , ultrasonic , UV irradiation

2. Optimized ozonation conditions of degradation of Ops: concentration of

ozonated water , ozone Modes, degradation time, and initial concentration of

Ops.

3. Probe the mechanism of ozonation degradation of Ops.

4. Effects of Ozone on fruits and vegetable Quality
