The microbial inactivation ability of low temperature plasma treatment generated by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) on bread-born mold (black bread mold) is investigated. It is shown that the plasma treatment can effectively decrease the mold growth rate. The longer plasma treatment time is, the more mold spores are inactivated. On the other hand, plasma treatment […]
We present a new theoretical model for analyzing the impact of higher order modes on transverse mode instability in bent Yb-doped fiber amplifiers. The model indicates a comparative analysis of mode instability using the normalized propagation constant in both straight and bent fibers amplifiers. The impact of different bending radii, on bent fibers is investigated […]
In this experimental research the adsorption and photocatalytic properties of silica nanoparticles were used to disinfection water against the gram-negative Escherichia coli bacteria. Silica nanoparticles were synthesized by modified Stober method and characterized. TEM image shows that the prepared nanoparticles were spherical with 20-30 nanometers diameter and 4.25 eV bandgap energy. The disc diffusion test […]
Preparation of graphene decorated MOF-5 nanocomposite by pulsed laser ablation (PLA) method in liquid environment has been investigated for the first time. Firstly, MOF-5 nanostructures were synthesized by irradiating a high-purity zinc (Zn) plate in dimethylformamide (DMF) solution containing terephthalic acid ligand with Nd:YAG pulsed laser. Using the fundamental wavelength of Nd:YAG laser at 1046 […]
Thermal plasma treatment is considered as a suitable alternative for the treatment of highly-hazardous wastes such as industrial, radioactive and medical waste. Therefore, a Plasma-Gasification-Melting (PGM) system for treatment of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Wastes (CPW) with a capacity of 1 ton/day is developed using a melting and gasification furnace equipped with two non-transferred thermal plasma […]
