One of the heavy metals contained in the textile industry wastewater is chromium (Cr). Chromium hexavalent ions (Cr6+) are highly toxic and its accumulation in the human body will cause various negative impacts. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of silica synthesized by the sol-gel method to gain homogeneity and high purity. Synthesized silica was calcined at 700°C for 4 hours and its performance to adsorb Cr(VI) ions  in textile wastewater was investigated. The presence of -OH group from silanol (–Si-OH) was appeared at wavenumber 3367.70 cm-1, meanwhile siloxane functional groups were recorded at 1056.99 cm-1 and 784.38 cm-1 due to the O-Si-O asymmetric stretching and Si-O bending vibration. Optimum conditions of silica to adsorb Cr(VI) ions took place at pH 2 and contact time of 90 minutes by adsorption efficiency of 75,65% and followed the Freundlich isotherm.

Lithium fluoride (LiF) nanopowders were prepared by trifluoroacetate-based sol–gel processing. In this work, lithium acetate dehydrate ( LiAc ⋅ 2H2O ) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) was used as lithium and fluorine sources. The thermal behavior of initial gel was examined using differential thermal analysis (DTA). Effects of solvent (glacial acetic acid, absolute ethanol, and ethylene glycol), Li+ concentration (0.5, 1, and 2 mol/l) and decomposition temperature (200, 250, and 300°C) on synthesis of LiF nanopowders by sol–gel method were investigated. The results of LPSA, FE-SEM, and XRD showed that the growth of particles and aggregation can be controlled by changing above parameters. However, it is indicated that optimum conditions are; solvent as ethanol, Li ion concentration (0.5 mol/l), and decomposition temperature (300°C), respectively. Also, the addition of oleic acid as an organic additive made the final LiF particles finer and about 70–90 nm.
