The combination of adsorption and photodegradation processes is an effective technique for the removal dye contaminants from water, which motivating development novel adsorbent-photocatalyst materials wastewater treatment. Herein, nanocomposite porous beads were developed using titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes embedded in a sodium alginate (SA)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) matrix calcium chlorid...

Copper dioxide (CuO) nanoparticles and Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) filled poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) pyrrolidone) (PVP) blend matrix (50/50 wt%) based polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) (i.e., PVA/PVP:(15-x)CuO(x)MWCNTs for x = 0,1,5,7.5, 10,14, 15wt%) have been prepared employing the solution-cast method. The morphologies of these PNCs are semicrystalline, according to an X-ray diffraction i...

Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and confocal microscopy are applied to investigate the structure molecular arrangement of sub-micron furosemide polyvinylpyrrolidone (furosemide/PVP) particles produced by spray flash evaporation (SFE). Morphology, size crystallinity furosemide/PVP analyzed scanning electron (SEM) X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). Far-field spectra far-field maps interp...

photocatalytic membranes exhibit great potential for water treatment since they combine the filtration and photo degradation in a single unit. although blending photocatalytic nanoparticles into polymeric thin film remains the simplest method to prepare the photocatalytic membrane, the entrapped photocatalyst showed less catalytic activity due to the agglomeration and shielding effects in the p...

Contaminated waterways, particularly effluent from the dye industry, are one of major issues today. Among various methods adsorption is most straightforward, effective, and successful to treat such effluents. For this purpose Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO) embedded within Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) pyrrolidone (PVP) mixed polymer (CuO/PVA-PVP) were synthesized using precipitation different analy...

One distinct concentration of copper ions was embedded into the silica matrix to xerogel form using copper source Cu(NO3)2∙3H2O. The xerogel samples were prepared with using hydrolysis and condensation reactions of TetraEthyl Ortho-Silicate (TEOS) by the sol-gel method. In this investigation, new molar ratio of H2</su...
