In this paper, the adsorption of cerium on modified Mesoporous aluminosilicate (with Si/Al mole ratio of 10) was studied. The effects of pH, contact time, initial concentration of cerium on adsorption of cerium were investigated. The adsorption capacity was high in the pH range of 4-8 and decreases with decreasing of the pH value. The […]
This study is focused on synthesis of nano-colloidal silica via alkaline water glass solution. Sodium ions of water glass were removed by cation exchanging in a resin column to obtain the silicic acid which was titrated to the solution of sodium silicate. Concentration of the colloidal silica and pH value of the solutions were controlled […]
This paper investigates the effect of different methods of carbon nanotubes distribution in a thin matrix on static and dynamic behavior of the nanocomposite. Five different symmetric patterns of distribution are considered, including four parabolic patterns and a linear one. For each pattern, the effective mechanical properties of the resultant nanocomposite are calculated using the […]
Toxicity has occurred in workers exposed to nickel dust or nickel carbonyl formed in refining. Increased risk of nasal and lung cancers was linked to occupational nickel exposure before current workplace safety standards were set. Activated carbon with nano holes used for removing contaminants in environment. The purpose of this work is preparation a new […]
A set of multicomponent perovskite oxide nanoparticles based on La1-xSrxCo1-yFeyO3-δ(LSCF) were prepared by a simple chemical precipitation method for application in low temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LT-SOFC) as cathode materials. The precursor materials used in this synthesis were lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate [La(NO3)3.6H2O], strontium nitrate [Sr(NO3)2], cobalt nitrate hexahydrate [Co(NO3)2.6H2O], ferric nitrate nonahydrate [Fe(NO3)3.9H2O] [as […]
In this study, an efficient and facile technique for preparing graphene oxide in suspension and powder forms was presented based on a modification on Hummers' method followed by an additional ultrasonic process. The method involved the provision of graphene oxide from graphite by reaction of potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid with stabilizing the medium complex. […]
In this work, we report, optical properties of Cd1-xSnxTe quantum dots (x= 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15) synthesized in water using thioglycolic acid (TGA) as a modifier agent. The optical characterization of the samples was performed through absorption (UV) and photoluminescence spectra (PL). A red shift absorption and fluorescent emission peaks was observed which can be […]
By employing the theoretical method based on tight-binding, we study electronic band structure of single-wall carbon nanotube (CNT) superlattices, which the system is the made of the junction between the zigzag and armchair carbon nanotubes. Exactly at the place of connection, it is appeared the pentagon–heptagon pairs as topological defect in carbon hexagonal network. The […]
The present work is focused on the degradation of 4-chloro-2-nitrophenol in aqueous solution containing nano titanium dioxide, hydrogen peroxide and the combination of nano-TiO2/H2O2. The effect of experimental parameters, such as the amount of nano- TiO2 concentration of H2O2, initial concentration of 4-chloro-2-nitrophenol and pH on the reaction was investigated. Experimental data […]
A PEBAX-nano zeolite X mixed matrix membrane was fabricated and operationally characterized using single gas (CO2) permeation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to study the arrangement of polymer chains of mixed matrix membrane. The membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to study cross-sectional morphology. The single gas permeability were carried out for […]
