Abstract:

CeO2/ZnO nanocomposites were synthesized by microwave method that is the fast process. One of an eco-friendly solvent, ethylene glycol were used the effect of time and power of irradiation were investigated on morphology and size of nanoparticle. Prepared CeO2/ZnO nanocomposites are characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and UV–Visible absorption spectroscopy. For this nanocomposites photocatalyst test were applied against four colors, Methyl violet, Methylene blue, Rhodamin b and Erythrosine. the percent of decolorization for each color under UV light after 120 min were 92% and 60% were obtained respectively.

chemical recycling of polycarbonate waste using conventional heating and microwave assisted method

پلی کربنات یکی از پلاستیکهای مهمی است که به صورت گسترده در تولید لوحهای فشرده، قطعات رایانه، مواد ساختمانی و غیره مورد استفاده قرار می گیرد. این پلیمر بصورت عمده از تراکم مونومر بیس فنولa (bpa) و کربنیل کلرید یا دی متیل کربنات ها بدست می آید. در سالهای اخیر بازیافت شیمیایی پلی کربنات بیشتر مورد توجه بوده است. بازیافت شیمیایی پلی کربنات برای بدست آوردن مواد اولیه آن با روشهای متفاوتی مانند تجزی...

Rapid dye decolorization method for screening potential wood preservatives.

We developed a new screening method for potential wood preservatives based on decolorization of the dye Remazol Brilliant Blue R by extracellular oxidative agents produced by wood decay fungi. Oxidative biodegradation of lignin yielded decolorized zones around and under fungal cultures on a dyed agar medium. Inhibitory effects were detected by direct observation and measurement of the decoloriz...

Photochemical decolorization of Methyl Violet dye using Azadirachta indica (Neem) mediated synthesized silver nanoparticles

Manufacturing and use of synthetic dyes for fabric dyeing has become a massive industry. However their toxic nature has become a cause of concern. The dye industries release high content color effluents that are toxic and resistant to degradation by conventional methods. Accumulation of these dyes in water causes eutrophication reduces reoxygenation capacity and damage to the aquatic organisms ...
