Specific amounts of toxic organic compounds in the process of their manufacturing and utilization cause environmental pollution problems. So, degradation and removal these compounds are necessary. The aim of this paper is the study photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin drug in aqueous soluti...

in this work firstly zno nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple precipitation method. at the second step titanium dioxide and silicon dioxide shell were synthesized on the core. for preparation zno-tio2-sio2 the sol product was calcinated at 500 ºc for 2h. properties of the product were examined by x-raydiffraction pattern (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem) and fourier transform inf...

Firstly nickel ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple precipitation method. Then mono-disperse platinum nanoparticles and NiFe2O4@TiO2/Pt nanocomposites were synthesized by a facile sol-gel procedure. The structure, phase and crystallite size of the magnetic and photo-catalyst products were characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD). The morphology and size of the nanostructu...

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...

Tungsten trioxide nanoparticles with monoclinic structure and average particle size about 80 nm were prepared by the spray pyrolysis method. WO3 nanorods with hexagonal structure and average dimension about 15 × 100 nm were synthesized in gram quantities by modified hydrothermal method at lower temperature and shorter reaction time in comparison to the previous research. Photo de...

The optimization processes of photo degradation are complicated and expensive when it is performed with traditional methods such as one variable at a time. In this research, the condition of ortho-cresol (o-cresol) photo degradation was optimized by using a semi empirical method. First of all, the experiments were designed with four effective factors including irradiation time, pH, photo cataly...

The heterogeneous photo-Fenton degradation of crystal violet under visible light has been investigated usingcopper modified iron oxide. The photocatalyst has been prepared by coprecipitation method. The rate ofphotocatalyic degradation of dye was monitored spectrophotometrically. It has been observed thatphotocatalytic degradation follows pseudo first order kinetics. The effect of various param...

in this work firstly mgfe2o4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a microwave-assisted method. the product was calcinated at 900 ºc for 2h. at the second step zinc oxide shell was synthesized on the ferrite under ultrasonic waves. properties of the product were examined by x-ray diffraction pattern (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem) and fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy. vibr...

Green synthesis of nanoparticles makes use of environmental friendly, non-toxic and safe reagents. In this study, we synthesised CoFe2O4 in a green approach, using leaf extract of Chenopodium album. The structure of the synthesised sample were analyzed by X-ray diffraction methods. The synthesised Photocatalyst was applied for photo degradation of methy orange as a reliable model pollutant. The...
