In this study, photocatalytic degradation of paracetamol (acetaminophen), an analgesic and antipyretic drug, was investigated in using semiconductors under UV-B sunlight irradiation. Semiconductor materials, Bi2O3, ZnO, TiO2, ZrO2, were prepared simple sol-gel, coprecipitation, microwave synthesis methods. These photocatalyts characterized by various spectroscopic other techniques. As a result ...

This research entailed the production of composite materials through combination natural rubber and acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, along with nano-silica-loaded bismuth (III) oxide, in varying concentrations ranging from 0 to 45 parts per hundred (phr). The gamma attenuation properties composites at different Bi2O3 were measured. Additionally, mechanical resulting composites, including hardnes...

the hybrid molten/solid in2o3 - 30-48 wt.% bi2o3 oxide materials were studied with respect to their transport properties. the conductivities, oxygen ion transport numbers and oxygen permeation fluxes have been measured by using the four-probe dc, volumetric measurements of the faradaic efficiency and gas flow techniques, respectively. we show that the oxygen permeability of the hybrid molten/so...

The optical properties of a new family of neodymium doped BPG (Bi2O3-PbO-Ga2O3 ) glasses are presented. We measured a high refractive index, of 2.5, and a transmission cutoff in the far infrared at 8microm. Three intense emission bands are observed centered at 877nm, 1066nm and 1341nm. The emission cross-section is 10 -20 cm 2 and the total spectral linewidth is 30nm at 1066nm. The Judd-Ofelt p...
