[ 1 ] - Photocatalytic Degradation of Anionic Azo Dyes Acid Orange 7 and Acid Red 88 in Aqueous Solutions Using TiO2-containing Hydrogel
The photocatalytic degradation of two anionic azo dyes Acid Red88 (AR 88) and Acid Orange 7 (AO7) was investigated in aqueous solution using a TiO2-containing hydrogel and UV light. The pH-sensitive hydrogel poly (styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (PSMA), was synthesized and crosslinked in the presence of melamine and TiO2 nanoparticles which results in entrapment of TiO...
[ 2 ] - Application of Central Composite Design for Optimization of Coacervative Extraction of Cu(II) Using Anionic Surfactant
The aim of this work was to develop a new and simple coacervative extraction method for the preconcentration and spectrophotometric determination of Cu(II) in water samples. Dithizone was used as the chelating agent while an anionic surfactant, namely sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), was used as extracting agent at room temperature. Central composite design (CCD) based on response surface methodol...
[ 3 ] - Central Composite Design for the Optimization of Hydrogel Based pH-Dependent Extraction and Spectrophotometric Determination of Mercury
In the present work a pH-dependent cloud point extraction procedure using pH-sensitive hydrogel polymer was applied for preconcentration and spectrophotometric determination of the Hg(II) as its Thio micher's ketone complex. Central composite design (CCD) and response surface method were applied to design the experiments and find out the optimum conditions. Four factors entitled concentration o...
[ 4 ] - Studies on Adsorption of Some Organic Dyes from Aqueous Solution onto Graphene Nanosheets
Graphene, a new member of the carbon family, was used as an adsorbent due to its exceptional capability to remove Rhodamine B (RB) and Malachite Green (MG), two organic dyes, from aqueous solutions. Adsorption kinetics of RB and MG onto graphene and adsorption capacity of the adsorbent were studied. Also the effects of parameters, including pH, contact time, temperature, and adsorbent dosag...
