ultraviolet waves, because of their short wavelength, have a high energy and considerable damaging effects on surfaces. protection against ultraviolet radiations is one of the finishing treatments done on surfaces exposed to sunlight. the importance of this issue in relation to human health, due to complications such as skin burns and cancer, is doubled. up to now, different materials such as z...

Nowadays, nano mineral modified biochars show a promising adsorption capacity for pollutants removals by combining the advantages of porous structure biochar and unique property minerals. In this work, nano-zinc oxide doped scrap tire derived activated carbon (nZnO-STAC) was synthesized wetness impregnation method. Equilibrium data were analyzed using Langmuir Freundlich isotherm models while k...

Nano-graphene oxide was synthesized by the oxidation of graphite powders. The structural nature of the nano-graphene oxide was characterized by a variety of techniques including XRD, TEM, FT-IR and UV/Vis. The functional groups on its basal planes and edges of nano-grahene oxide play important role in catalytic activity. The catalytic activity of nano-graphene oxide was investigated on Crossed-...

Chromium occurs mostly in tri- and hexavalent states in the environment. Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] compounds are extensively used in diverse industries, and trivalent chromium [Cr(III)] salts are used as micronutrients and dietary supplements. In the present work, we report that they both induce genetic mutations in yeast cells. They both also cause DNA damage in both yeast and Jurkat cells ...

The interaction of chromium oxide with different titania-silica supports has been examined. The oxide supports investigated consisted of SiO,, TiO, , physical mixtures of TiO, and SiO,, a surface titania overlayer on SiO, (10% of theoretical monolayer) and a surface silica overlayer on TiO, (80% of theoretical monolayer). The supported chromium oxide catalysts were structurally characterized wi...

zinc oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized by chemical reaction method.  polyvinyl alcohol (pva) composite film filled with nanometric, monodispersed zinc oxide nano particles prepared by pva solution and nanozinc oxide. polymer blend with zno nanoparticle composite film has prepared by casting technique.  the property of nano composites depends greatly on the chemistry of polymer matrices....
