Composite nanofiltration (NF) membrane was developed polyacrylic acid (PAA) in situ UV graft polymerization process using ultrafiltration (UF) polysulfone (PSF) membrane as porous support. FT-IR spectra indicated that grafting was performed and it show peaks at 1,732 cm−1 and 3,396 cm−1 region for CO and OH starching bond of acrylic acid (AA) monomer, respectively. AFM microscopy showed the roughness of surface was reduced by increase of UV irradiation times. Effect of irradiation time on the grafting of acrylic acid (AA) in the same concentration was discussed. The salts rejection increase was accompanied with grafting of polysulfone (PSF) ultrafiltration (UF) membrane. The rejection of Na2SO4, MgSO4, NaCl and CaCl2 salts by PSF-grafted-PAA nanofiltration (NF) membrane was in 98, 60, 52 and 30% respectively, under 0.3 MPa.

Hydrothermal and precipitation methods have been applied to synthesize nanoscale CeO2 catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of NO with hydrocarbon under oxygen-rich condition. The former procedure has the advantage of enhancing the hydrothermal stability of nanomaterial. BET results show that their surface areas are about 30-80 m2/g. Based on TEM results, hydrothermally prepared CeO2 shows very uniform grain shaped particles with size around 10-20 nanometers. Its thermal stability up to 1200°C has been confirmed by in-situ XRD. Furthermore, deNOx reaction with propene as reducing agent in the presence of 5% oxygen has been carried out to compare catalysts prepared by the above two methods. Results show that hydrothermally prepared catalyst is more active than the one prepared by precipitation method. The latter one lost half of its activity in the presence of 5% water vapor, while the former one could stand up to 10% water vapor in the gas mixture without losing much activity.

AbstractPoly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) [P(NIPAM-co-AAc)] microgels were synthesized by precipitation polymerization. Copper nanoparticles were successfully fabricated inside the microgels by in-situ reduction of copper ions in an aqueous medium. The microgels were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). Hydrodynamic radius of P(NIPAM-co-AAc) microgel particles increased with an increase in pH in aqueous medium at 25 °C. Copper-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) [Cu-P(NIPAM-co-AAc)] hybrid microgels were used as a catalyst for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). Effect of temperature, concentration of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and catalyst dosage on the value of apparent rate constant (kapp) for catalytic reduction of 4-NP in the presence of Cu-P(NIPAM-co-AAc) hybrid microgels were investigated by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. It was found that the value of kapp for catalytic reduction of 4-NP in the presence of Cu-P(NIPAM-co-AAc) hybrid microgel catalyst increased with an increase in catalyst dosage, temperature and concentration of NaBH4 in aqueous medium. The results were discussed in terms of diffusion of reactants towards catalyst surface and swelling-deswelling of hybrid microgels.

Silver nanoplates (SNPs) having different size were synthesized by a seed-mediated method. The seeds -silver nanoparticles with 4 – 6 nm diameters were synthesized first by reducing silver nitrate with sodium borohydride in the present of Trisodium Citrate and Hydrogen peroxide. Then these seeds were developed by continue reducing Ag\(^+\) ions with various amount of L-Ascorbic acid to form SNPs. Our analysis showed that the concentratrion of L-Ascorbic acid, a secondary reducing agent, played an important role to form SNPs. In addition, the size and in-plane dipole plasmon resonance wavelenght of silver nanoplates were increased when the concentration of added silver nitrate increased. The characterization of SNPs were studied by UV-Vis, FE-SEM, EDS and TEM methods.
