The reduction capacity of ammonia while present even at ppm level can be demonstrated by the increased encounter probability between ammonia and methylene blue dye (MB+) incorporated in nanomordenite and Na-MOR zeolites. The rate of reduction methylene blue dye by ammonia on the surface nanomordenite zeolite is faster than Na-mordenite (Na-MOR) zeolite.Because nanomordenite zeolite with […]
In the present study, comparison of photocatalytic activity of nanostructures semiconductor zinc oxide (ZnO) was prepared using the different methods on the degradation of organic dye such as methylene blue that was investigated. Previous studies have proved that such semiconductors can degrade most kinds of persistent organic pollutants, such as detergents, dyes, pesticides and volatile […]
AlMCM-41 was applied for adsorption of methylene blue (MB) and auramine (AU) in single and binary component systems. In the single component systems, AlMCM-41 represents higher adsorption capacity for MB than AU with the maximal adsorption capacity of 2.07×10−4 and 1.15×10−4 mol/g at 25 ˚C for MB and AU, respectively. In the binary component system, […]
The glass surface modification with 3-(mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPTS), gold nano-particles (GN) and guanine rich single strand DNA (ss-DNA) was utilized as a novel and efficient platform for sensing trace concentration of methylene blue (MB) by an inexpensive spectrophotometric method. Methylene Blue (MB) can interact with the guanine base of single strand DNA and absorbed onto […]
An efficient photocatalyst consisting of CdS nanoparticle dispersed mesoporous silica-titania was prepared using amphiphilic triblock copolymer P123 as template and silica-titania sol–gel precursors. The CdS nanoparticle was incorporated into silica-titania mesoporous nanosturctures by post impregnation method. The synthesized catalyst has been characterized by FTIR, TEM, SEM, and EDAX analysis. The CdS nanoparticles incorporated silica-titania mesoporous […]
In this paper, a series of BaLaxGdxFe12-2xO19 (x=0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8)/PANI (polyaniline) nanocomposites synthesized for investigating the photocatalytic properties. Barium hexaferrite doped with La3+ and Gd3+ prepared via a sol-gel auto-combustion method and then the binary nanocomposites fabricated by the in situ polymerization method. (Fourier transform infrared) FTIR, (x-ray diffraction) XRD, (field emission electron […]
We herein report the green synthesis of a reduced Graphene Oxide/Silver nanoparticle (rGO/AgNP) nanocomposite by simultaneously reduction of graphene oxide and silver ions using an aqueous extract of cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) plant bark. Methylene blue dye removal capacity and efficiency of the nanocomposite was evaluated. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by using UV‑DRS, SEM, P‑XRD, […]
