Abstract:

In this scientific research, MnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) have been successfully prepared by a precipitation method using KMnO4, MnSO4.H2O and H2O2 (30%) as the precursors. As-prepared sample was identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Infrared (IR) techniques. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed 7-8 nm ranges size of as prepared MnO2 nanoparticles. The decontamination reaction of triethyl phosphate (TEP) as a chemical warfare nerve agent simulant (CWNAS) was carried out on the surface of MnO2 NPs as the sorbent catalyst with the different weight ratios of TEP/MnO2 (1:8, 1:16 and 1:32) and studied by using phosphorous-31 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31PNMR) technique. The 31PNMR analysis results proved that more than 95% of TEP was adsorbed on this catalyst in decane solvent with ratio of 1:32 after the elapse of the reaction time (8 h) at room temperature (25±1°C). On the other hand, decontaminated agent simulant amounts for the ratios of 1:16 and 1:8 were lower under similar conditions, respectively. This sorbent catalyst provides enough surface area and enhanced chemical reactivity for instantaneous adsorption and decontamination of TEP.

Photocatalytic oxidation of an organophosphorus simulant of chemical warfare agent by modified TiO2 nanophotocatalysts

TiO2 nanoparticles, as a photocatalyst for oxidation of dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) as an organophosphorus simulant of chemical warfare agent, were prepared by using sol-gel method. The prepared nanoparticles were then modified with transition metals in order to decrease the electron-hole recombination and increase the photocatalytic activity. Transition metal ions including Pt...
