Abstract Adsorption of thorium onto nitric acid modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes was investigated by central composite design as a function of contact time, pH, initial thorium concentration and temperature. The results showed that optimum uptake capacity was 65.75±2.23 mg·g−1 with respect to pH=4, initial thorium concentration of 100 mg·L−1, 25 °C and 15 min contact time. Thermodynamic parameters [standard enthalpy (ΔH0), entropy (ΔS0), and free energy (ΔG0)] were calculated, and the results indicated that adsorption was endothermic. Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms have been investigated in order to characterize the adsorption process in the range of 25–100 mg·L−1 initial thorium concentration. The Freundlich isotherm is the best suited as a model because it has the highest correlation coefficient (R2=0.9485). The pseudo-second order kinetics well defined the adsorption process.

Staphylococcus Gallinarum

Hydrocarbons pollution is a most important environmental and healthanxiety . Using free and immobilized bacteria could be a suitable attitude to find a proper bioaugmentation agent. A toluene degrading bacterium was isolated from oil-contaminated environs (located in Bandar-Anzali, Guilan, Iran). The strain was molecularly identified as Staphylococcus gallinarum ATHH41 (Accession number: KX344723) by partial sequencing of 16SrDNA gene. The response surface methodology (RSM) was expended for biodegradation of the toluene by ATHH41. The central composite design (CCD) was utilized to optimize pH, temperature, and toluene concentration by ATHH41. In accordance with the optimization purpose of the Design-Expert software, the optimum circumstances of toluene degradation were obtained when pH, temperature and toluene concentration were adjusted to 7.68, 31.73°C and 630.04 mg.l-1, respectively. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used to immobilize the strain. Infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy showed that the cells adhered to the MWCNT surface and developed a biofilm. Results reveal that free cells were able to degrade 68.01% of the toluene as the sole carbon and energy source within 24 h under optimized conditions. The immobilized cells reached 95.68%.

AbstractCarbon nanotubes (CNT) are interesting candidates for the reinforcement in robust composites and for conducting fillers in polymers due to their fascinating electronic and mechanical properties. For the first time, we report the incorporation of multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) into silica-glass surfaces by means of partial surface-melting caused by a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser. MWNTs were detected being well incorporated in the silica-surface. The composites are characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman-spectroscopy. A model for the composite-formation is proposed based on heatabsorption by MWNTs and a partial melting of the silica-surface.
