In this research work, we report a simple method called reflux condensation method for synthesizing Co3O4 nanoparticles using cheap chemicals such as, cobalt acetate (precursor salt), sodium monododecyl sulphate – SDS (surfactant) and N, N – Dimethylformamide – DMF (solvent). The prepared materials were heat treated at 200, 400, 600 and 800 oC for each […]
In the present research work, the kinetics of sunflower oil transesterification reaction in the presence of Ba-Sr/ZSM-5 nanocatalyst which prepared using incipient wetness impregnation method was investigated. The 10wt.%Ba-Sr/ZSM-5 (Sr/Ba=3/2) nanocatalyst was calcined at 600 °C for 6 h with a heating rate of 3 ºC/min. The experimental conditions were the methanol/oil 9/1molar ratio, reaction […]
Novel metal oxides have been studied worldwide due to their potential uses in ecological refinement, particularly to eliminate organic impurities present in water. In this work, we report the preparation of Ni1-xCoxAl2O4-δ (where x=0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20) nanoparticles by simple chemical precipitation route. The as-synthesized spinel particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), […]
One of the foremost inescapable impediments that industrial sectors face is to remove organic pollutants, which affected nature and threatened the existence of species per se. Nanoscale magnetic ferrites are considerable materials for removing the majority of organic dyes due to their unique properties and high potential photocatalytic activity. Their photocatalytic performance in semiconductor nanocrystals […]
