Abstract:

ZnO and Mn-ZnO nano powders were prepared by the sol-gel auto combustion method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Structural and morphological properties of nano particles were investigated and the average crystalline size of ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO was obtained 44 and 51 nm, respectively. Also, photo catalytic removal of Cibacen Turquoise Blue G dye from aqueous solution by using nano scale ZnO and Mn-ZnO powders under UV light irradiation was studied. The effect of initial dye concentrations and dosage of photo catalysts, were investigated in the photo destructive process. This is 57% of dye degraded by 0.02 mg of ZnO in 70 minutes. The degradation rate increase to 84% in the presence of 0.02 mg of Mn-ZnO in the same time.

Sol-gel Synthesis of ZnO Nanoparticles and ZnO-TiO2-SiO2 Nanocomposites and Their Photo-catalyst Investigation in Methylene Blue Degradation

In this work firstly ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple precipitation method. At the second step titanium dioxide and silicon dioxide shell were synthesized on the core. For preparation ZnO-TiO2-SiO2 the sol product was calcinated at 500 ºC for 2h. Properties of the product were examined by X-raydiffraction pattern (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform inf...

Ferromagnetic ordering in Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles

Zn1 - x Mn x O nanoparticles have been synthesized by hydrothermal technique. The doping concentration of Mn can reach up to 9 at% without precipitation or secondary phase, confirmed by electron spin resonance (ESR) and synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD). Room-temperature ferromagnetism is observed in the as-prepared nanoparticles. However, the room-temperature ferromagnetism disappears after ...

Removal of Lead from Aquatic Solution Using Synthesized Iron Nanoparticles

   Due to its ability in chemical oxidation of contaminants, iron nanoparticle is a material of choice to remove lead ions from aquatic solutions. In this study a reduction method in solution phase was applied to synthesize thenanoparticles. Afterwards, the size of the synthesized particles were confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy. It is worth noting that th...
