Zinc oxide nanoparticles were obtained directly, avoiding the calcination step, by precipitation at 70°C in bicontinuous microemulsions stabilized with a mixture of surfactants sodium bis (2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate/sodium dodecyl sulfate (2/1, wt./wt.) containing 0.7 M zinc nitrate aqueous solution. Two concentrations of aqueous solution of precipitating agent sodium hydroxide were used under different dosing times on microemulsion. Characterization by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy allowed us to identify particles with an acicular rod-like morphology and a hexagonalwurtzitecrystal structure as small as 8.5 and 30 nm in average diameter and length, respectively. Productivities much higher than those typical in the preparation of zinc oxide nanoparticles via reverse microemulsions were obtained. Particle size was the same at the two studied sodium hydroxide concentrations, while it increases as dosing time of the precipitant agent increases. It is believed that the surfactant film on the microemulsion channels restricts the particle diameter growth.

Zinc oxide films have been deposited on ITO/glass substrate by a two-step electrodeposition method from zinc nitrate aqueous solution. The two-step electrodeposition process included a potentiostatic pre-deposition and a galvanostatic deposition. Obtained ZnO film possesses high c-axis preferential orientation, smooth and compact morphology, high transmittance in the visible band, and optical band gap of 3.43eV. Compared with the film prepared by direct galvanostatic deposition, the crystalline quality and optical properties of ZnO films were significantly improved.

Dalam kajian ini, ZnO dan TiO2 digunakan sebagai fotomangkin dalam pendegradasian pewarna New Methylene Blue N (NMBN). Kadar fotodegradasi diukur menggunakan alat spektrofotometer UV-Vis. Dalam kajian ini, New Methylene Blue N menunjukkan nilai serapan pada λ = 590 nm dan λ = 286 nm. Lampu UV (λ = 354 nm) digunakan dalam proses fotodegradasi. Dalam proses degradasi menggunakan ZnO menunjukkan 81.42% NMBN terdegradasi pada λ = 590 nm dan 77.75% pada λ = 286 nm. Sebaliknya, degradasi menggunakan TiO2 adalah 25.68% pada λ = 590 nm dan 26.37% pada λ = 286 nm. Peratus degradasi New Methylene Blue N ialah 88.89% dan 68.94% pada masing-masing λ = 590 nm dan λ = 286 nm apabila ditambahkan dengan H2O2. Campuran ZnO dan TiO2 dalam nisbah 85: 15 (0.085 g; 0.015 g) merupakan campuran fotomangkin yang paling optimum iaitu dengan peratus degradasi NMBN sebanyak 96.97% dan 93.61% pada λ = 590 nm dan λ = 286 nm. Penambahan ion logam Cu2+ memberikan peratus degradasi tertinggi berbanding ion logam lain iaitu 83.83% pada λ = 590 nm. Penambahan ion logam Pb2+ memberikan peratus degradasi tertinggi pada λ = 286 nm iaitu 81.25% pewarna terdegradasi. Keadaan optimum dicapai pada pH 5.90, dengan peratus degradasi tertinggi iaitu 92.84% dan 89.30% pada masing-masing λ = 590 nm dan λ = 286 nm. Kata kunci: New Methylene Blue N; fotodegradasi; larutan; ZnO; TiO2 In this study, ZnO and TiO2 are used as photocatalyst to degrade the dye, New Methylene Blue N (NMBN). The photodegradation rate was measured using UV-Visible spectrophotometer. In this study, New Methylene Blue N showed absorption values at λ = 590 nm and λ = 286 nm. UV lamp (λ = 354 nm) is used in the photodegradation process. Results showed that ZnO is a better photocatalyst compared to TiO2. The degradation by ZnO showed that 81% of NMBN was degraded at λ = 590 nm and 77.75% at λ = 286 nm. In contratst, the degradation using TiO2 was 25.68% at λ = 590 nm and 26.37% at λ = 286 nm. The percent degradation of New Methylene Blue N is 88.89% and 68.94% at λ = 590 nm and λ = 286 nm respectively when H2O2 was added. A mixture of ZnO and TiO2 in the ratio of 85: 15 (0.085 g: 0.015 g) is the most optimum ratio for the mixed photocatalyst where the degradation percentage of NMBN are 96.97% and 93.61% at λ = 590 nm and λ = 286 nm. The addition of Cu2+ metal ion gave the highest percentage of degradation (83.83% at λ = 590 nm) compared to other metal ions. The addition of Pb2+ gave the highest percentage of degradation at λ = 286 nm with 81.25% degradation of the dye. The optimum condition was achieved at pH 5.90, which gave the highest percentage degradation, 92.84% and 89.30% at λ = 590 nm and λ = 286 nm respectively. Key words: New Methylene Blue N; photodegradation; aqueous; ZnO; TiO2

Synthesising zinc oxide nanoparticles to get certain specific characteristics to be applied in Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is still challenging to date. In this work, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesised using the sol-gel method by dissolving zinc nitrate hexahydrate in nitric acid. The ZnO crystal and particles morphology and structure were determined using X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). In this study, a microwave oven was used for annealing ZnO without insulating a sample in any casket. The results show that 30 and 40 minutes of annealing and stirring for 1 hour influenced the morphology and size of zinc oxide particles in nanoscale. These parameters could be tailored to generate a range of nanoparticle morphology (agglomerated nanoparticles in a corn-like morphology), a crystal size with the mean size of 70.5 and 74.9 nm and a main growth at the peak [10. EOR experiment were conducted by dispersing 0.10 wt% ZnO NPs in distilled water to form a ZnO nanofluid. Then the fluid was injected into the medium in the 3rd stage of the oil recovery to present EOR stage. It was found that ZnO nanofluid has the ability to extract 8% of the original oil in place (OOIP).
