Abstract:

In this study the application of ZnO nanoparticles to UV photocatalytic degradation of nonionic surfactantTriton X-100 in aqueous media was investigated. The affecting factors on the photodegradation such as TritonX-100 initial concentration, nanocatalyst weight, pH, temperature and other parameters were studied anddescribed in details. The degradation rate was found to be strongly influenced by all the above parameters .Theoptimized conditions for maximum amount of degradation were also determined Results showed that thephotocatalytic degradation process using UV light as an irradiation source, and Nanoparticles of ZnO as aphotocatalyst, was applicable for the degradation of Triton X-100 in aqueous solution and wastewater samples.

Photocatalytic dye degradation properties of Zinc Copper Ferrites nanoparticles

In the present study, new multi-components spinel ferrite Zinc doped metallic ferrites are investigated. The synthesized compounds consisting of Zinc copper ferrite nanostructures were developed using the Co-precipitation technique. Powder X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) confirms the formation of the spinel phase for all the samples. The lattice constant was studied through powder X-ray diffrac...

Electrocatalytic oxidation of formaldehyde onto Pt nanoparticles modified poly (m-toluidine)/Triton X-100 film

In this work, spherical Pt nanometer-scale particles supported on the poly (m-toluidine)/Triton X-100 film modified carbon nanotube paste electrode (Pt/PMT (TX-100)/MCNTPE) was used as a potent catalyst for electrooxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) in both 0.5 M H2SO4 and 0.1 M NaOH solutions. The obtained results showed that utilization of TX-100 as an additive during the electropolymerization p...

Rapid degradation of zinc oxide nanoparticles by phosphate ions

Zinc oxide nanoparticles are highly sensitive towards phosphate ions even at pH 7. Buffer solutions and cell culture media containing phosphate ions are able to destroy ZnO nanoparticles within a time span from less than one hour to one day. The driving force of the reaction is the formation of zinc phosphate of very low solubility. The morphology of the zinc oxide particles has only a minor in...
