In this paper, plate-like NiO nanoparticles were prepared by one-pot solid-state thermal decomposition of nickel (II) Schiff base complex as new precursor. First, the nickel (II) Schiff base precursor was prepared by solid-state grinding using nickel (II) nitrate hexahydrate, Ni(NO3)2∙6H2O, and the Schiff base ligand N,N′-bis-(salicylidene) benzene-1,4-diamine) for 30 min without using any solv...

Cadmium-incorporated Li2FeSiO4/C composites have been successfully synthesized by a solid-state reaction assisted with refluxing. The effect and mechanism of Cd-modification on the electrochemical performance of Li2FeSiO4/C were investigated in detail by X-ray powder diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectra, transmission electron microscopy, pos...

problematic dyes extensively used in different industries such as textile, paper, food, plasticsand cosmetics have undesirable environmental effects. white rot fungi demonstrating effective extracellularenzyme system, which is capable of degrading dyes and various xenobiotics. the aim of this study was tooptimize decolorization of reactive blue 19 (rb19) dye using phanerochaetechrysosporium. a ...

A soft-sphere discrete particle model was used to simulate mixing behavior of solid substrate particles in a slow rotating drum for solid-state fermentation. In this approach, forces acting on and subsequent motion of individual particles can be predicted. The (2D) simulations are qualitatively and quantitatively validated by mixing experiments using video and image analysis techniques. It was ...

Thermal behavior of the complexes Pd2(dppm)2Cl2, Pd2(dppm)2(SnCl3)Cl and Pd2(dppm)2(SnCl3)2 (dppm=bis[diphenylphosphino(methane)], ((C6H5)2PCH2P(C6H5)2) in the solid state and immobilized onto porous Vycor glass was studied. Similar decomposition mechanisms were observed for the solid and immobilized complexes, with a small thermal stabilization upon immobilization. The decomposition products w...

The presence of humic acid (HA) in water treatment processes is very harmful and the cause of undesirable color, taste, and smell. Drinking water containing high concentrations of humic substances can be the cause of many health problems. Therefore, the removal of these compounds from water resources is a very important topic. In this research, response surface methodology (RSM) has been used t...

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) are widely studied as building blocks for novel solid-state materials. Inorganic surface functionalization, used to displace native organic capping ligands from NC surfaces, has been a major enabler of electronic solid-state devices based on colloidal NCs. At the same time, very little is known about the atomistic details of the organic-to-inorganic li...

formaldehyde in small quantities is commonly analyzed by spectrophotometric methods. one of the most-commonly used spectrophotometric techniques for this purpose is based on the reaction with chromotropic acid. because of its simplicity, sensitivity, selectivity and its low cost, it is still widely used. investigations for replacing the concentrated sulfuric acid with other acids or using more ...

a box-behnken design with three replicates was used for preparation and evaluation of eudragit vancomycin (vcm) nanoparticles prepared by double emulsion. the purpose of this work was to optimize vcm nanoparticles to improve the physicochemical properties. nanoparticles were formed by using w1/o/w2 double-emulsion solvent evaporation method using eudragit rs as a retardant material. full factor...
