introduction: humic acid (ha) is one the original disinfection byproducts processors in water treatment. so, removing it is necessary before water chlorination. in the present study, photodegredation of humic acid in water using ag/zno nano particle under uvc irradiation in batch system was investigated. material and methods: photocatalytic study was carried out to evaluate the effect of uvc (1...

the effect of ethanol-water media on the synthesis of ag/tio2 nanocomposite was investigated with 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5 (wt.%) of ag content. ethanol was used as hole-scavenger enhancing the photodecomposition of ag+ ions under illumination of near-uv light. the nanocomposites were further calcined to 300˚c and 400˚c under controlled atmosphere. the synthesized nanocomposites were tested for photoc...

ag/tio2 photocatalytic nanoparticles by two methods, the sol – gel using a reducing agent and spattering was produced. crystalline phase of titanium dioxide was investigated in both. ag/tio2 peak in the sol – gel method at temperatures of 300,500 and 6000c were studied. ag/tio2 peak at different temperatures were determined using the spattering. xrd patterns of calcined this is tio2 and ag/ tio2.

We discuss the structure of the effective Lagrangian for the (2,2) ZN orbifolds and the corresponding Calabi-Yau manifolds which are obtained by “blowing-up” the orbifold singularities. The method to “blow-up” such singularities is reviewed.’ Results are exact at the string tree-level. In particular the question of generating an intermediate scale MI in such models is addressed. It is shown tha...

In this study, ZnO nanopowders and ZnO doped with metals (Cu , Ag- doped ZnO) and (Cd, Ag- doped ZnO) were synthesized by the sol-gel method in order to investigation on the codoping effect on the band gap and photocatalytic activity of ZnO. The synthesized samples are characterized by IR spectroscopy technique. Moreover, the absorption coefficients of the ZnO, Ag-Cd-ZnO and Ag-Cu-ZnO were anal...

tio2 thin films and ag/tio2 nanoparticles were prepared by cvd and plasma bombardment method. xrd results showed the presence of ag nanoparticles in tio2 matrix. sem image confirmed formation of ag nanoparticles. xps analysis was utilized to study the chemical state of the ag/tio2 nanostructure. statistical surface analysis revealed that since there is a linear relation between logarithmic diag...

one of the most serious kinds of hepatitis is hepatitis b. this condition is more common than aids, and is 100 time more contagious. in iran the most common cause of acute and chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and also hepatocellar carcinoma in adults, is hepatitis b. more than two billion people are infected and more than 350 million of individuals are carriers of this virus in the entire wo...

background: tuberculosis (tb) remains an important health problem throughout the world. despite its significance in public health, mechanisms of protective immunity against mycobacyerium tuberculosis in humans have not yet been understood. objective: to evaluate cell mediated immune response against purified ag 85, ppd and phytohemagglutinin (pha) in patients with tuberculosis and healthy tuber...
