Large quantities of wastewater are generated by the petroleum refining process. Micron-scale emulsion droplets and submicron difficult to remove from oil-refined wastewater, addressing these issues has been a major challenge for researchers. Membrane technology is widely used in water treatment because it very selective effective filtration his research focuses on oil refinery using polysulfone...

Nowadays, nanoscale innovations in the forms of pathogen detection, active packaging, antimicrobial packaging and barrier formation are poised to elevate food packaging to new heights. Antimicrobial nanocomposite LDPE films containing ZnO nanoparticles at different concentrations (e.g. 1%, 3%, 5%  and 3%  nano-ZnO pulse 10% polyethylene grafted maleic anhydride (PE-g-MA), w/w pure LDPE), were p...

Mn doped ZnO nanocomposite thin film coated on glass by a simple spin-coating method was used to degrade an azo textile dye from aqueous environment. Mn doped ZnO nanocomposite thin film was characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photo-reduction activity of photocatalyst was evaluated using an azo textile dye as organic contaminant irradiat...

Recently, there is increasing efforts to develop newer and effective larvicides control mosquito vectors. This study was carried out examine the efficacy of ZnO/SiO2 nanocomposite synthesized using Gum Arabic against Culex quinquefasciatus larvae. The elemental composition, morphology, functional groups surface plasmon resonance ZnO@SiO2 analyzed by Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), Scann...

Rational design of nano-heterojunction catalyst is one the ideal ways to solve dye pollution effectively. In this study, two catalysts ZnO/Ag4SiW12O40 (ZnO/AgSiW) and ZnO/Cs3PW12O40 (ZnO/CsPW), were synthesized by simple dissolution precipitation method. The samples characterized XRD, TEM, FT-IR, Raman, DRS, XPS N2 adsorption desorption isotherms. photocatalytic experiments show that degradatio...
