Abstract:

ZrO2 nanopowder was prepared by the sol-gel auto-combustion method. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The average crystalline size of ZrO2 was obtained 62 nm. Also, photocatalytic removal of nitrophenol from aqueous solution by using nanoscale ZrO2 under UV light irradiation was studied. The effect of initial pollution concentrations in 3, 5 and 10 ppm in presence of ZrO2 nanoparticles was studied in photocatalytic degradation process. Nitrophenol was degraded 84, 78 and 66% in the presence of 0.04 g of ZrO2 within 70 minutes.

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...

Photo catalytic property of ZnO and Mn-ZnO nanoparticles in removal of Cibacet Turquoise blue G from aquatic solution

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. ...
