Abstract:: Sustainability environmental lack is a growing and pivotal mater due to the issues: such as disturbances associated with biodiversity pollution, and climate change. Pollutants are the major cause of these environmental threats in the atmosphere. In recently, the nano-based photocatalyst is at the forefront of the author's interest because of its promising potential as a green chemical-based compound, high catalytic activity, the suitable and controllable surface area for wastewater treatment. Semiconductor materials in nanosized scale have electronic and optical properties depend on its building block size, which plays a vital role in developing smart materials that are well efficient for simultaneously destroying harmful chemical contaminants from our environment. This makes these materials used in many possible industrial applications such as water purification. In this Review, we report the most significant results contributing to progress in the area of environmental hazardous pollutant detection and removal focused on water purification especially through photo-catalysis to give readers an overview of the present research trends. Moreover, we analyze previous studies to indicate key principles of photo-catalysis and provide guidelines that can be used to fabricate more efficient photocatalysts.

Physical And Chemical

Silica is one of the most important materials used in many industries. The basic factor on which the selection process depends is the structural form, which is dependent on the various physical and chemical properties. One of the common methods in preparing pure silica is that it needs more than one stage to ensure the preparation process completion. The goal of this research is studying the nucleation technique (Bottom-top) for micro-wires and micro-ribbons silica synthesis. The silica nanoand microstructures are prepared using a duality (one step); a combination of alkali chemical etching process {potassium hydroxide (3 wt %) and n-propanol (30 Vol %)} and the ultra-sonication technique. In addition, the used materials in the preparation process are environmentally friendly materials that produce no harmful residues. The powder product is characterized using XRD, FTIR, Raman spectrum and SEM for determining the shape of architectures. The most significant factor of the nucleation mechanism is the sonication time of silica powder production during the dual technique. The product stages are as follows; silica nanoparticles (21-38 nm), nanoclusters silica (46 – 67 nm), micro-wires silica (1.17 – 6.29 μm), and micro-ribbons silica (19.4 – 54.1 μm). It's allowing for use in environmental applications (multiple wastewater purification, multiple uses in air filters, as well as many industrial applications).

Equiatomic and near equiatomic NiTi alloys, showing good mechanical and thermal shape memory properties, are widely exploited in different industrial applications. In addition, NiTi alloys have promising anti-cavitation and corrosion-resistance properties. These advantages have provided opportunities to exploit NiTi alloys as the coatings for protecting materials used in the industrial applications. This study is a preliminary investigation aiming to evaluate the feasibility to form NiTi alloy coatings on SS304 steel by tungsten inert argon arc welding (TIG) technology. The microstructure analysis shows that the crystalline phases in NiTi coatings on SS 304 steel are TiNi-B2, TiNi-B19’ and Ni3Ti. The potential of the NiTi coatings to enhance the corrosion resistance and cavitation resistance behaviors of steel exposed to seawater is studied. NiTi coatings, with two different thicknesses of about 1.2 and 2 mm, having homogenous microstructures were successfully deposited on SS304 steel using TIG technology. Results of tests, done in aqueous solutions simulating seawater, showed that the formation of the oxide films on the surface of NiTi coatings increased the corrosion resistance and wear resistance and decreased the damage caused by the cavitation. Moreover, it was understood that the NiTi coatings with 2 mm in thickness show the superior performances than those with 1.2 mm in thickness. The tribological mechanisms responsible for the unique properties of NiTi alloy coatings were investigated. The wear-resistance behaviors of NiTi alloy coatings are greatly influenced by the friction conditions. Increasing load decreased CoF and the wear rate of the coatings were almost constant, which was attributed to the pseudoelasticity of NiTi alloy. The attractive properties of NiTi alloys that makes it most influential materials for industrial applications have also been discussed.

Considering that the large quantity of waste electrical and electronic equipment plastics generated annually causes increasing environmental concerns for their recycling and also for preserving of raw material resources, decreasing of energy consumption, or saving the virgin materials used, the present challenge is considered to be the recovery of individual polymers from waste electrical and electronic equipment. This study aims to provide an update of the main identification methods of waste electrical and electronic equipment such as spectroscopic fingerprinting, thermal study, and sample techniques (like identification code and burning test), and the characteristic values in the case of the different analyses of the polymers commonly used in electrical and electronic equipment. Additionally, the quality of the identification is very important, as, depending on this, new materials with suitable properties can be obtained to be used in different industrial applications. The latest research in the field demonstrated that a complete characterization of individual WEEE (Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment) components is important to obtain information on the chemical and physical properties compared to the original polymers and their compounds. The future directions are heading towards reducing the costs by recycling single polymer plastic waste fractions that can replace virgin plastic at a ratio of almost 1:1.

In the present study modeling of permeability of open-porosity ceramic materials used in non-polarizing electrodes is addressed. The structure of the material filling the electrode determines the infiltration of the ceramic structure by electrolyte, which influences the efficiency of the electrodes. The composition of electrode material was characterized with Scanning Electron Microscope Hitachi S3500N with EDS detector and the structure was determined with use of XRadia XCT400 tomograph . The complex geometry of porous materials has been designed using procedure based on Laguerre-Voronoi tessellations (LVT). A set of porous structures with different geometrical features has been developed using LVT algorithm. The approach used here allows to investigate the influence of geometrical features such pore size variation on the permeability of studied materials. Pressure drop characteristics of the developed structures has been analyzed using finite volume method (FVM). The results show that permeability of porous materials is strongly related with distribution of pore size. The study exhibits the utility of developed design procedure for optimization of non-polarizing electrodes performance.

Some of the materials used in modern industries and industrial applications are difficult to finish with high degree of accuracy and minimal surface defects using conventional machining and polishing techniques. Stainless steel is one such widely used material that is ductile, tough and difficult to finish with traditional processes. This study aims to finish effectively the thin 316 L stainless steel plate using nontraditional technique as it is very difficult to finish using traditional technique. Response Surface Methodology approach for experimental design (Box-Behnken) is used for performing and analyzing the experimental work. Box-Behnken design is having the maximum efficiency for an experiment involving three factors and three levels. The experimental results indicate that the 316L stainless steel plate can be successfully finished with diamond sintered magnetic abrasives. The process yields best results of Rotational Speed = 200RPM, Feed = 40mm/sec and Machining Time = 60minutes for PISF. The PISF was improved by 45%.

Tungsten carbide- (WC-) based hardmetals or cemented carbides represent an important class of materials used in a wide range of industrial applications which primarily include cutting/drilling tools and wear resistant components. The introduction and processing of nanostructured WC-based cemented carbides and their subsequent consolidation to produce dense components have been the subject of several investigations. One of the attractive means of producing this class of materials is by mechanical alloying technique. However, one of the challenging issues in obtaining the right end-product is the possible loss of the nanocrystallite sizes due to the undesirable grain growth during powder sintering step. Many research groups have engaged in multiple projects aiming at exploring the right path of consolidating the nanostructured WC-based powders without substantially loosing the attained nanostructure. The present paper highlights some key issues related to powder synthesis and sintering of WC-based nanostructured materials using mechanical alloying. The path of directly consolidating the powders using nonconventional consolidation techniques will be addressed and some light will be shed on the advantageous use of such techniques. Cobalt-bonded hardmetals will be principally covered in this work along with an additional exposure of the use of other binders in the WC-based hardmetals.
