Solid waste red mud was modified by HCl leaching. The structure property and composition of modified red mud were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). Under UV irradiation, methyl orange (MO) aqueous solution was photodegraded by modified red mud. The obtained results showed that the specific surface area of modified red mud was 317.14 m2/g, which was about 40 times higher than that of the normal red mud. After UV irradiation for 50 min, the removal percentage of MO reached 94.2%. The study provided a novel way for the application of red mud to the photocatalytic degradation of organic wastes.

Monodispersed ZrO2 (includes 8mol % Y2O3) precursor nanoparticles, which were well dispersed in aqueous solution, were successfully synthesized. The as-synthesized ZrO2 precursor nanoparticles were homogenously coated on the surface of polystyrene particles. Multilayer coating process was successfully implemented by using polyacrylic acid (PAA) to modify the surface charges of the coated particles, which was characterized by zeta-potential, particles size distribution and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

The synthesized oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles by sol-gel method were characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-rays diffraction(XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Using X-rays diffraction analysis different parameter were calculated such as crystallite size, d-spacing, dislocation density, number of unit cell, cell volume, morphological index, micro strain and instrumental broadening. The average particle size was 28.396 nm. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that SnO2 nanopartcles are uniformly distributed. Optical properties such as band gap (energy gap = 3.6 eV) was calculated from UV-Visible spectroscopy. The characterized particles were used as photocatalyst for the degradation of Eosin dye in aqueous solution under UV light. The effect of different parameters i.e irradiation time, initial dye concentration, pH of the medium and catalyst weight on percent degradation was also studied. Mmaximum dye degradation was found at 220 minutes time interval that was 92 % using 10 ppm solution. At pH 5 the degradation of dye was found to be 94%. The catalyst dose of 0.06 g was found to be the optimum weight for the best photo catalytic degradation of Eosin Y.

Abstract The SiO2 and Ni/SiO2 coatings were electrophoretically deposited on X2CrNiMo17-12-2 steel using ethanol-based suspensions of the SiO2 and Ni powders. The influence of the zeta potential and concentration of the suspensions, the applied voltage and deposition time on the quality of the coatings was studied. Microstructure of the plan-view and cross sections of the coatings was investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The plan-view images revealed the uniform microstructure of the coatings with sporadically observed cracks, pores as well SiO2 and Ni agglomerates. On the cross-sections, the Cr2O3 layer, resulted from oxidation of the substrate during sintering of the coatings was observed. The polarization tests have shown that SiO2 and Ni/SiO2 coatings improve the corrosion resistance of the X2CrNiMo17-12-2 steel in 3.5% NaCl aqueous solution.

ZnO were rapidly synthesized using different zinc salts (Zn(NO3)2, Zn(CH3CO2)2, ZnCl2and ZnSO4) by an aqueous solution method at 90°C. The products were characterized by X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the anions have remarkable effects on the morphologies of ZnO. When Zn(NO3)2, Zn(CH3CO2)2or ZnCl2was used, ZnO was obtained with ellipsoidal, under-developed ellipsoidal and nano-particles morphologies, respectively. In the case of ZnSO4, layered basic zinc sulfate was obtained. The remarkable effects of anions on ZnO can be ascribed to the adsorption of the anions on the surface of ZnO, which hinders the further growth of ZnO nuclei. The effect of SO42-was further investigated by changing the mole ratio of SO42-to NO3-.

New nanocomposite sorbents were synthesized and used for Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solution by modifying Turkish perlite withα-MnO2(PAM) andγ-Fe2O3(PGI) nanoparticles. Nanocomposite sorbents were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR. The effects of several parameters such as contact time, amount of sorbent, pH, and concentration were investigated and it was found that the sorption capacity for Cr(VI) was found to be highly pH dependent. Also the experimental data were evaluated in terms of different isotherm models. The data of PGI were well fit to DR isotherm model whereas PAM data were well described with Temkin isotherm model. The sorption capacities were found to be 8.64 and 7.6 mg g−1for PGI and PAM, respectively. This confirms that these nanocomposites retain the constituent nanoparticle properties while being macroscopic particles suitable for chromium removal in water treatment.

The effects of an organic solvent on the electrospinning of water-soluble polyacrylamide with ultrahigh molecular weight were investigated. An organic solvent, DMF, was introduced to the polyacrylamide aqueous solution and subsequently, transparent spinning solutions were obtained. The spinning solution was electrospun at the voltage of 10 kV and the electrospun products were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results indicated that all the electrospinning products including colloidal particles, beaded fibers and smooth fibers were fabricated in the DMF/H2O bi-component solvent and the morphology of electrospun products changed from smooth fiber to beaded fiber with the increasing amount of DMF used.

This study synthesizes the anionic–nonionic surfactants by reacting tripropylene glycol, maleic anhydride, polyoxyethylenated stearyl ether and fumaric acid. The properties of a series of anionic–nonionic surfactants that feature hydrophilic groups with different lengths of chains are measured. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) value for these surfactants decreases as the length of the polyoxyethylene chain increases. This shows that long polyoxyethylene chains promote pre-micelle formation in the aqueous phase and adsorption at the interface surrounding the aqueous phase. The dispersion of a particle suspension of [Formula: see text] is also determined using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that when anionic–nonionic surfactants are added into a [Formula: see text] suspension, it prevents the precipitation of solid particles of [Formula: see text] and allows greater de-aggregation of the nanoparticles. DLS data show that when the concentration of the anionic–nonionic surfactants is increased, the distribution range narrows and it becomes more uniform. The larger specific surface area of the surfactant results in greater dispersion of the suspension. The SEM results show that when anionic–nonionic surfactants feature hydrophilic groups with a shorter chain, a [Formula: see text] suspension is more effectively dispersed.

ABSTRACTIn the present investigation, biocomposites were synthesized from a polymeric alginate matrix in which the carrot residue and a natural bentonite (ANat / Bio) or an iron-modified clinoptilolite-type zeolite (ZFe / Bio) were supported. Their properties were evaluated adsorbents in contact with aqueous solutions of methylene blue (MB). In the first hour of contact, 46% removal was obtained for the ZFe / Bio biocomposite and 60% for the ANat / Bio biocomposite; reaching 100% removal for the ZFe / Bio biocomposite and 98% for the ANat / Bio biocomposite after 24 hours. The biocomposites were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).
