Single phase anatase titania powders with size below 20 nm and surface area of 75 m /g were 2 synthesized by a simple precipitation method at pH 5 and dehydration of agglomerates by azeotropic distillation. The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and BET surface area, after calcinations at 550°C for 3 hrs. This nanoparticles was used for...

Abstract: Nano- size alumina particles have been synthesized by mechanical activation of a dry powder mixture of AlCl3 and CaO. Mechanical milling of the above raw materials with the conditions adopted in this study resulted in the formation of a mixture consisting of crystalline CaO and amorphous aluminum chlorides phases. There was no sign of chemical reaction occurring during milling stag...

In the present work, we report preparation of NiO nanoparticles with well-defined plate morphology by solid-state reaction of NiCl2∙6H2O and the Schiff base ligand N,N′-bis-(3-methoxysalicylidene)benzene-1,4-diamine), as a novel precursor via solid state thermal decomposition method. This method is a simple and environmentally friendly for preparing t...

This research paper proposes a sustainable and feasible technique to utilize seashell waste. The utilization of seashells offers economic environmental benefits because their abundant, renewable, cheap source calcium carbonate. will reduce the hazards waste generated environment landfilling that cause risk water sources public health. Moreover, synthesized bio − CaCO3 end-product cost polymer. ...

Methanobactin (Mb) is a copper-binding peptide that appears to function as an agent for copper sequestration and uptake in methanotrophs. Mb can also bind and reduce Au(III) to Au(0). In this paper, Au/Al2O3 catalysts prepared by a novel incipient wetness-Mb-mediated bioreduction method were used for glucose oxidation. The catalysts were characterized, and the analysis revealed that very small ...

Nowadays, consumption of Ayurvedic medicines/ bhasmas/plants has been increasing due to increased demand and also these consumed medicines don’t lead to abnormal and side effect on any organ or body part. These are prepared by different Ayurvedic practitioners. Ayurvedic herbo-mineral preparations were made by calcinations of purified metals, minerals, since it has been playing a vital role in ...

Layer-by-layer self-assembly is an approach to develop an ultrathin film on solid support by alternate exposure to positive and negative species with spontaneous deposition of the oppositely charged ions. This paper summarizes various approaches used for fabrication of layer-by-layer self-assembly as well as their utility to produce various devices. The layer-by-layer technique is basically use...

Fabrication of three-dimensional TiO2 films on Ti substrates is one important strategy to obtain efficient electrodes for energy conversion and environmental applications. In this work, we found that hierarchical porous TiO2 film can be prepared by treating H2O2 pre-oxidized Ti substrate in TiCl3 solution followed by calcinations. The formation process is a combination of the corrosion of Ti su...

The present paper deals with a hydrazine mediated synthesis of high surface area and thermally stable N-doped zirconium titanium mixed oxide with enhanced photocatalytic activity towards reduction of selenium (VI) to metallic Se under visible light. Materials were synthesized at pH 1⁄4 2 by varying the hydrazine concentration and characterized by XRD, TEM, BET method, XPS, Raman spectroscopy an...

MgO is an important inorganic material, which can be used in many aspects, such as catalyst, toxic-waste remediation agent, adsorbent, and others. In order to make use of MgO, nano-MgO was prepared by ultrasonic method using Mg (CH3COO)2.2H2O as precursor, NaOH aqueous solution as precipitant in this paper. Effect factors on MgO nano-particle size were investigated. Characteristics of samples w...
