Nanocrystalline particles of Cerium Oxide (CeO2) have been prepared by the chemical precipitation method using Cerium nitrate and Urea with a molar ratio of 1:2. The results revealed that the formation of CeO2 fine particles is influenced by molar ratio of metal nitrates to fuel. Well faceted CeO2 nanoparticles, were synthesized by thermal-assisted dissociation ...

This article reports the green fabrication of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) using Olea europaea leaf extract and their applications as effective antimicrobial agents. O. europaea leaf extract functions as a chelating agent for reduction of cerium nitrate. The resulting CeO2 NPs exhibit pure single-face cubic structure, which is examined by X-ray diffraction, with a uniform spherical sha...

In this work, firstly, CeO2 nanoparticles, which can be used as catalysts in many reactions, were synthesized by preparing aqueous solution of cerium(III) nitrate hexahydrate basic medium. the second step, synthesis dimeric thio Schiff bases was carried out using two different methods. Effect catalyst on some parameters such reaction time and yield product investigated. The antimicrobial activi...

Protective coatings have been deposited on electrogalvanized steel by immersion in solutions containing 2-Butyne-1.4-diol propoxylate (C7H11O3), cerium nitrate, sodium nitrate and sodium sulphate for different immersion periods. The surface morphology and chemical composition of the coatings formed on the electrogalvanized steel were studied using field emission gun scanning electron microscopy...

Two simple, accurate and precise methods are described for the determination of propranolol hydrochloride with cerium(IV) sulphate. The titrimetric method is based on the oxidation of the drug by a known excess amount of cerium(IV) sulphate and back titration of the unconsumed oxidant with ammonium ferrous sulphate. In the spectrophotometric method, the unreacted cerium(IV) sulphate is treated ...

Microbiological reduction of soluble U(VI) to insoluble U(IV) has been proposed as a remediation strategy for uranium-contaminated groundwater. Nitrate is a common co-contaminant with uranium. Nitrate inhibited U(VI) reduction in acetate-amended aquifer sediments collected from a uranium-contaminated site in New Mexico. Once nitrate was depleted, both U(VI) and Fe(III) were reduced concurrently...

Recently, cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles have been widely used in engineering andmedical sciences due to the diversity of their applications. Fe-Ce nanoparticles were synthesized bysimple co-precipitation method via iron nitrate (Fe(NO3)3.9H2O) and cerium nitrate (Ce(NO3)3.6H2O) asprecursor in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant. The samples wer...
