RESULT AND DISCUSSION
Characterization of Adsorbent
The Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) technique is utilized to study the surface characteristics of the grafted hydrogel. This technique provides insights into the particle shape, their aggregation nature, crystalline structure, and surface area[26, 28]. It also helps in determining the surface’s porosity or smoothness and the homogeneity of the composite components’ distribution on the surface. The FE-SEM images, as shown in Fig. 5 reveal that the surface of the hydrogel is smooth, clear, and flaky. It also possesses a porous structure resembling a sponge and a network of tightly packed layers due to the cross-linking agent between the polymeric chains [25].
X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra were used to study the structural properties, represented by composition, crystalline size, and spacing between crystalline planes [24], of the prepared Poly(AM-co-AC) Hydrogel in its solid state using single light of wavelength 1.5104 A0 from a (Cu-Kα) source within the angular range 2θ (5-80) degree, the XRD patterns for the Poly(AM-co-AC) were observed, the broad peak at 20.109° indicates that the hydrogel composites are semi crystalline, with a significant proportion of amorphous material [29, 30], as show in Fig. 6.
Characterization of azo dye
The FT-IR spectrum of the prepared azo dye was recorded as KBr disk using shimadzu apparatus in rang (4000-400 cm-1). The spectral data of the product was gathered in Figs. 7 and 8: The of cefotaxime azo dye exhibited intense IR absorptions at 3371 cm-1 [ν(-O-H)], 3236 cm-1 [ν(-NH2)], 3101 cm-1 [ν(C-H aromatic)] , 2928 cm-1 [ν(C-H aliphatic)], 1716 cm-1 [ν(C=O) lactam] ,1624 cm-1 [ν(C=C)], 1593 cm-1 [ν(-N=N-)] .The IR spectrum of ceftazidime azo dye which is shown in Fig. 7 exhibited intense IR absorptions at 3360 cm-1 [ν(-O-H)], 3263 cm-1 [ν(-NH2)], 3101 cm-1 [ν(C-H aromatic)], 2939 cm-1 [ν(C-H aliphatic)], 1716 cm-1 [ν(C=O) lactam], 1627 cm-1 [ν(C=C)], 1597 cm-1 [ν(-N=N-)].
Type of oxidizing agent
Several kinds of oxidizing agents were utilized to select the better oxidizing to give the maximum color intensity as show in (Table 2). The data showed in Table 2 oxidizing agent potassium Periodate give the higher absorbent, and maximum color intensity of compound. The influence of several volumes of potassium Periodate (0.5-4 ml) on the stability of intensity color has been studied, it was experiential potassium Periodate about 3ml is the utmost suitable quantity, since it gives the maximum color intensity of the formed compound thus it is chosen for further studies as show in Fig. 9.
Effect of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine DNPH solution
The reagent has a fundamental and important role in the Oxidative Coupling Reaction, forming the colored complex and increasing sensitivity and selectivity. Different volumes of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine DNPH solution (1-5 ml) were study, the data indicated that utilizing about 2ml DNPH solution gives best color intensity and absorbance of the compound at 580 nm and the volume was considered as a best value [3, 31]as show in Fig. 10.
Effect of type and volume base
The preliminary experiments have appeared Cefotaxime drug give best color intensity with DNPH in the found of KIO4 in base medium, so that several kind types of bases as show in (Table 3).
It is noted from the results shown in Table 3 that the use of sodium hydroxide base increases the absorbance and also increases the intensity of the colored product and makes the reaction stable [32, 33]. This indicates that the reaction is affected in the basic medium, and the absorbance increases with the increase in the volume of the base until the reaction stabilizes over time as show in Fig. 11.
Effect of time
The best maximum intensity color and higher absorbance, after drug was reaction with DNPH and potassium parodied after 10 min in alkane medium. Therefore, 10 min. development time was selected as best in the general reaction and sufficient for complete the reaction and adopted in the all experiments. thus, the color stable obtained for 2 h [34], as show in Fig. 12.
Effect of order addition
The effect of different subsequent addition reaction component on the absorption of the intensity colored dye was studied and data appear in Table 4, indicate that subsequent (I) was best order for reaction components, so it was chosen for next experiments [35].
Effect of temperature
The influence of solution temperature on the formation of color dye was studied at several temperatures and data appear in the Table (5), confirm that when the reaction is carried out at 25 oC . The effect of temperature solution on the color intensity of the product was studied. Through practical experiments, the best absorption and highest color intensity were obtained at a temperature (25 oC), however, when the temperature was increased by placing the solution in a water bath (40 oC) or the temperature was decreased by placing the solution in an ice bath (10 oC). It was observed that the absorbance, color intensity and stability decreased, and therefore the reaction must be carried out at a temperature of (25 oC) [36, 37].
Effect of organic solvents
The effect of the organic solvents on the absorbance of formed best color dye was study via using several solvents instead of water the data appear in Table 6 and Fig. 8 reveal that using water as solvent give the maximum absorbance of color dye formed, and water best solvent, safety in use, extensive, eco-friendly comparing with other solvent[38].
Application
The proposed method was applied in indirect determination of Cefotaxime drug (in pharmaceutical formulation) like injection formulations using several concentrations about 4,6,8 mg/L were transferred volumetric flasks 10 ml and treated as in construction as method in the calibration curve [39]. The absorbance was measured at 486 nm for three times. and appear the capacity and successfully of the developed way to estimation of drug in its pharmaceutical formulation, the recovery was 99.4-103.2 %. as show in Table 7.
