A novel composite of montmorillonite-supported carboxymethyl cellulose-stabilized nanoscale iron sulfide (CMC@MMT-FeS), prepared using the co-precipitation method, was applied to remediate hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI))-contaminated soil. Cr(VI)-removal capacity increased with increasing FeS-particle loading. We tested the efficacy of CMC@MMT-FeS at three concentrations of FeS: 0.2, 0.5, and 1 mmol/g, hereafter referred to as 0.2 CMC@MMT-FeS, 0.5 CMC@MMT-FeS, and 1.0 CMC@MMT-FeS, respectively. The soil Cr(VI) concentration decreased by 90.7% (from an initial concentration of 424.6 to 39.4 mg/kg) after 30 days, following addition of 5% (composite–soil mass proportion) 1.0 CMC@MMT-FeS. When 2% 0.5 CMC@MMT-FeS was added to Cr(VI)-contaminated soil, the Cr(VI) removal efficiency, as measured in the leaching solution using the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure, was 90.3%, meeting the environmental protection standard for hazardous waste (5 mg/kg). The European Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) test confirmed that the main Cr fractions in the soil samples changed from acid-exchangeable fractions to oxidable fractions and residual fractions after 30 days of soil remediation by the composite. Moreover, the main complex formed during remediation was Fe(III)–Cr(III), based on BCR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses. Biotoxicity of the remediated soils, using Vicia faba and Eisenia foetida, was analyzed and evaluated. Our results indicate that CMC@MMT-FeS effectively immobilizes Cr(VI), with widespread potential application in Cr(VI)-contaminated soil remediation.

Synthesis of magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl2O4) was investigated by employing ball milling and co-precipitation methods. The starting materials (aluminum hydroxides) were obtained from the purified sodium hydroxide leaching solution of black dross. The characteristics of the synthesized spinel was analyzed through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. In this work, the effect of calcination temperature and time on the formation of spinel by the two methods was compared. Calcination temperature showed a great effect on the formation of spinel in both methods. The results showed that the co-precipitation method has many advantages over the ball milling method. In ball milling method, complete conversion of the starting materials to spinel was impossible even at 1500 °C, while complete conversion to spinel was accomplished at 1000 °C for 5 h by the co-precipitation method. The average size of the spinel synthesized at these optimum conditions of the co-precipitation method was about 17 nm. A process can be developed to synthesize spinel from the black dross which is regarded as hazardous materials.

Single crystalline nano-sized multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO) powders were synthesized through simple chemical co-precipitation method using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as capping agent. We obtained pure phase BiFeO3 powder by controlling pHand calcination temperature. From X-ray diffraction studies the nanoparticles were unambiguously identified to have a rhombohedrally distorted perovskite structure belonging to the space group of R3c. No secondary phases were detected. It indicates single phase structure. EDX spectra indicated the appearance of three elements Bi, Fe, O in 1:1:3. From the UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrum, the absorption cut-off wavelength of the BFO sample is around 558nm corresponding to the energy band gap of 2.2 eV. The size (60-70 nm) and morphology of the nanoparticles have been analyzed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM).   Linear M−H behaviour and slight hysteresis at lower magnetic field is observed for BiFeO3 nanoparticles from Vibrating sample magnetometer studies. It indicates weak ferromagnetic behaviour at room temperature. From dielectric studies, the conductivity value is calculated from the relation s = L/RbA Sm-1 and it is around 7.2 x 10-9 S/m.

Nanotechnology is a field of applied science focused on design, synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials. The nickel and magnesium have improved their applications in transparent electrodes and nano electronics. In addition, magnesium oxide has moisture resistance and high melting point properties. In the present work has been carried out in the development of green crystalline powder of nickel doped magnesium oxide nanoparticles by Co-precipitation method, from the mixture of nickel chloride and magnesium chloride with KOH as solvent. From the XRD results, crystalline size of the particle can be observed. Spherical structure of Ni doped MgO nanoparticles were indicated by SEM results and powdered composition of samples were obtained from FTIR. EDAX represents the peak composition of the nanoparticle. The above analytical techniques have confirmed that the Ni doped MgO nanoparticles obtained from the mixture of NiCl2 and MgCl2.

Preventing diseases is deemed to be the major goal of our century especially when an excessive fluoride in drinking water can cause dental fluorosis, bone stiffness, rheumatism and skeletal fluorosis. Fluoride uptake from groundwater implies a worldwide multidisciplinary effort in order to develop renewable, cheap, human friendly materials. Among other materials, hydrotalcites could be good candidates for an efficient fluoride removal from water due to their adsorption, anion exchange and reconstruction properties. These nanostructured materials were synthesized using co-precipitation method in controlled conditions. Presence of anions in the interlayer structure and morphological aspects were performed by FTIR and SEM techniques. Thermal treatment of hydrotalcites showed good adsorption capacities for water defluoridation mostly due to their tendency to restore the original structure.
