In this study, the use of TiO2/SiO2 nanocomposites investigated to remove nitrate and total ironfrom wastewater. The nanoparticles and nanocomposites were characterized by the Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET), Field Emission Scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). According to the BET results, the nanocomposite with 80%TiO2 […]
Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with thiol functionalized mesoporous silica (TFMS) were prepared and usedas a novel adsorbent for Pb2+ and Ag+ removal. FTIR spectra confirmed the Fe3O4 nanoparticle cores coated with mesoporous silica and indicated the presence of thiol groups on the surface. XRD analyses showed that synthesized adsorbent has a face-centered cubic magnetite phase […]
