The nanostructured anatase TiO2 with high thermal stability was prepared by polymeric sol-gel method without any additives. The particle size distribution of polymeric titania sol was determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Then properties of obtained titania were investigated by TG-DTA, XRD, FESEM and TEM. Also, the decolorization capability of resultant anatase was evaluated using methy...

Sol-gel technique was used to coat multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with anatase titania to increasing the surface area and improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. Room temperature ballistic conduct of MWCNT combined with semiconducting behavior of anatase brought about a photocatalytic improvement of ~37 % with respect to the highest methyl orange decolorization flair. For characteriza...

A method for rapid and accurate determination of trace quantities of SbIII was developed based on its inhibitory effect on the decolorizing reaction of methyl orange in the presence of bromate and bromide ions in acidic media. Decolorization of methyl orange by the reaction products was used to monitor the reaction spectrophotometrically at 525 nm. The method allows determination of antimony in...

1,4-bis(triphenyl phosphonium)butane peroxodisulfate(BTPPBPDS) were synthesized by treating 1,4-bis(triphenyl phosphonium)butane dibromide and potassium peroxydisulfate in aqueous solution.This was used mild and efficient reagent for oxidation of alkyl benzenes to their corresponding carbonyl compounds in very good to high yields.

environmental contamination, which is growing around the world, is a serious problem can not to be neglected. among all contaminations, water pollution is a major problem. azo dyes are one of the largest groups of pollutants found in the drinking water, coming from, and the food and textile industries. tio2/fe3o4 and tio2/fe2o3 nanocomposites with various ratios were synthesized by an ultrasoni...

Immobilization of TiO2 on silica gel has been proposed to enable easy separation of the catalyst in aqueous systems after photocatalytic reaction. Our simple synthesizing method reduces production cost, and the photocatalyst could find economical application in wastewater treatment. Silica-supported TiO2 composites were prepared by molten salt method at 500, 600 and 700 °C for 60 min. The obtai...

Three new methods using titrimetric and spectrophotometry are described for the determination of Propranolol Hydrochloride (PPH) and Atenolol (AN) with potassium bromate as the oxidimetric reagent and acid dyes, Methyl orange and Indigo carmine. In direct titrimetric (method A), the drug is titrated directly with bromate in acid medium and in the presence of excess of bromide using methyl orang...

The photo-oxidative decolorization of Direct Red 23 (DR23), a textile dye which is suspected to be carcinogenic was investigated using peroxydisulfate activated by UV irradiation and heat in a batch photo-reactor at experimental conditions. A very simple analytical method, direct UV–vis spectrophotometric detection, was utilized for the progress of photo-oxidative decolorization of dye in aqueo...

in recent years, the effects of heterogeneous catalysts for the oxidation of organic and inorganic pollutants in industrial wastewaters are spread. traditionally, these reactions are usually carried out using suspensions of photo-catalysts such as tio2. a chemical method including ticl4, al(no3)3, ethanol amine, ethyl acetoacetate and aqueous ammonia were used for the fabrication of tio2-al2o3 ...
