multiwalled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) have been functionalized with -so3h groups using new three steps chemical routes. firstly, oh groups have been attached to cnt surfaces through a radical reaction. the second step involves converting the hydroxyl groups into the oxide one and last step included the attachment of –so3h groups on the mwcnts surfaces in the presence of 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazo...

the main objective of the present study is to investigate the feasibility of using carboxymethyl chitosan magnetic nanoparticles (ccmn) for the adsorption of cd2+. the study also reports important parameters, which affect the adsorption process, i.e., ph, adsorbent dose, contact time and concentration of cd2+, using box-behnken designs. firstly, functional carboxymethyl chitosan magnetic nanopa...

In this study, green or eco-friendly synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) was performed by using the aqueous extract of Acanthophyllum laxiusculum. The plant genus Acanthophyllumis one of the natural sources rich in nonionic surface active agents known as saponins. Sol-gel method as one of the most common techniques widely used in nano-field was applied to synthesize the titanium dioxide nanop...

During this study, we report the green synthesis of  magnetic copper ferrite nanoparticles using tragacanth gum as a reducing and stabilizing agent by the sol-gel method. The green synthesized CuFe2O4 MNPs are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and scanning electron microscopy...

Highly efficient visible-light-driven heterogeneous photocatalyst Ag3PO4/g-C3N4 with different weight ratios from Ag3PO4 to g-C3N4 were synthesized by a facile in situ hydrothermal method and characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), photoluminescence spectra (PL), UV–vis diffuse reflectance (UV-Vis), electrochemic...

background:confirmation of olive oil authenticity and particularly virgin olive oil has a great importance. several advanced chemical and genetic analyses have been used to monitor especial components; however each has its limitations especially when detecting hazelnut-adulterated olive oil. objectives:the objective of this research is to assess the presence of trace amount of hazelnut oil in o...

glycerol mono-oleate (gmo) was produced by direct esterification reaction with amberlyst 16 resin catalysts with the efficiency of 86% and was used as a surfactant for synthesis of cofe2o4 nano-particles by surfactant-assisted microwave method. fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem) were used to consider the structural and...

Purpose: In the present study the incompatibility of FLM (fluvoxamine) with lactose in solid state mixtures was investigated. The compatibility was evaluated using different physicochemical methods such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Methods: Non-Isothermally stressed physical mixtures were used to calculate the ...

Continuous analysis of the 13C/12C ratio of atmospheric CO2 (δC-CO2) is a powerful tool to quantify CO2 flux strengths of the two major ecosystem processes assimilation and respiration. Traditional laboratory techniques such as isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) in combination with flask sampling are subject to technical limitations that do not allow to fully characterize variations of atmo...

The formation of the chemical products produced in an atmospheric glow discharge fed by a N2-CH4 gas mixture has been studied using Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) and Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES). The measurements were carried out in a flowing regime at ambient temperature and pressure with CH4 concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 2%. In the recorded emission spectra the lines of the s...
