Microencapsulation is a new breakthrough in the field of nanotechnology that can be used for various applications, in particular for the application of controlled release material for functional textiles which were added by certain active substances and gave effects when used such as fragrance and anti mosquito textile. In this research, the synthesis of silica-lavender microencapsulation for anti-mosquito textile had been conducted successfully via sol-gel emulsion process. Sodium silicate solution which was emulsified into the lavender oil as an active ingredient acted as oil phase and ethanol solution acted as water phase. The addition of chitosan as surfactant and polymer for encapsulation with starch as soft template affected the rod-structure formation of nanorod. SEM result showed the morphology of silica-lavender. The rod has the average diameter size of 0.042-0.206 μm. The optimum result of rod-structure was obtained by adding 1% (v/v) of chitosan. FTIR analysis indicated the presence of absorbance peaks at wavenumber of 1411.89, 958.62, and 1078.2 cm-1respectively for C-H (alkanes), C-H (alkenes) and ester functional groups which indicated the lavender compound in silica-lavender. UV-Vis analysis showed the maximum absorbance at wavelength of lavender at 350 nm. The combination of morphology and chemical properties of silica-lavender modified by chitosan-starch made this material as a candidate material for application in functional textile.

Silica nanoparticles are a very promising functional material when purified from silica sand for wide application. In addition, a low cost and easy method to obtain the material will be increasing the value of silica sand. To synthesize of nanoparticles using an easily scalable, cheap and simple method, we suggest a sodium silicate solution as a precursor that silica sand was diluted on the NaOH. After that, the sodium silicate solution under various alcohols (methanol and ethanol) in the acid medium was conducted by sol gel method to obtain silica nanoparticles. The synthesized of silica nanoparticles was observed to the non-agglomerate, homogeneous and spherical shape with an average size about 200 nm. We also noted the existence of NaNO3 by side product of reaction on the system, which may be the amorphous silica unidentified on the XRD results.

ABSTRACTTungsten oxide (WO3) and molybdenum oxide (MoO3) nanowires were synthesized through utilizing sol gel and electrospinning methods. Mixtures of metal oxide sol gel and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in ethanol solution were electrospun and resulted in metal oxide composite nanofiber mats. Precise annealing process removed all organic material, and pure metal oxide single crystal nanowires remained. Both the as-spun nanocomposite mats and the heat-treated nanofiborous materials were characterized using Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopes. The average diameter of the nanofibers was concluded to be proportional to the flow rate used and inversely proportional to the metal oxide concentration in the solution.

In solar energy industry, large amount of slurry wastes were produced during the wafer dicing process. The slurry waste contains silicon, silicon carbide and cutting oil. In this study, silicon in the slurry waste was treated with sodium hydroxide to produce a liquid mixture of the sodium silicate. The residue of the reaction was silicon carbide. The liquid mixture was separated to be a sodium silicate solution and used as a silica precursor for producing the silica powder and a hydrophobic silica aerogel by using the sol-gel method. The products were characterized by Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and powder X-ray diffraction (pXRD). Experimental results show that the characteristics of the products produced from the slurry waste are similar to that obtained by using the pure sodium silicate solution. It indicates that the wafer dicing slurry waste has a high potential to be a resource for other industries.

Adsorption of Mg(II) and Ca(II) on disulfonato-silica hybrid (DSSH) in the aqueous solution has been studied. The hybrid was synthesized by sol-gel process with sodium silicate solution from rice hull ash, chloroprophyltrimethoxysilane (CTS) and 4-amino-5-hydroxy-naphtalene-2,7-disulfonic acid monosodium salt (ANSNa) as silica source, cross linker and active group, respectively. Sodium silicate solution was reacted with CTS and ANSNa that were added dropwise. Adsorption of magnesium and calcium ions on DSSH was carried out in a batch system. Solution pH significantly affected magnesium and calcium adsorption and the optimum condition was obtained at pH = 6. The synthesized DSSH showed a high adsorption capacity of 0.0844 mmol/g and 0.1442 mmol/g for Mg(II) and Ca(II), respectively. The adsorption isotherm obtained with Langmuir isotherm model gives the negative values of ΔG°, i.e. -23.334 kJ/mol and -22.757 kJ/mol for Mg(II) and Ca(II), respectively, indicating the spontaneous process of adsorption. Kinetic studies showed that the adsorption of Mg(II) and Ca(II) ions onto HDSS follows the pseudo-second-order kinetics.

Two novel materials of 2-aminobenzimidiazole (AB) and 1-(o-tolyl)biguanide (TB) modified silicas coated on the iron sand magnetic material (MM@SiO2/AB and MM@SiO2/TB) have been synthesized and were used to adsorb Au(III) from Au/Cu/Ni solution. Silica layering MM was modified with polyamino compounds via a sol-gel process using a sodium silicate solution, 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane (CPTS) and modifier compounds. Adsorption of Au(III) on MM@SiO2/AB and MM@SiO2/TB was investigated in a batch system by varying pH, initial concentration, contact time and the presence of other metal ions (Cu(II) and Ni(II)). The results showed that MM@SiO2/AB and MM@SiO2/TB were successfully synthesized through the sol-gel process using cross-linking agent CPTS. Adsorption of Au(III) on MM@SiO2/AB and MM@SiO2/TB decreased with the increase of pH and followed the Langmuir isotherm models with adsorption capacity of 17.15 and 9.44 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption kinetics fit to pseudo-second-order model with the rate constants of 1.16 × 10-2 and 1.46 × 10-2 g mg-1 min-1, respectively. MM@SiO2/AB and MM@SiO2/TB gave a high selectivity towards Au(III) in a mixture of Cu(II) and Ni(II). The desorption using thiourea 1 M solution in 1 M HCl of metal ions showed that percentage of Au(III) desorbed was higher than that of Cu(II) and Ni(II).

Abstract: In this study, a commercial foundry sand (Seydisehir Eti Aluminium Co. Inc.) was provided as the starting material. Using this supplied casting sand, silica aerogel production was carried out by sol-gel method. Starting materials chemical components were determined by doing XRD and XRF analyses to starting industrial casting sand respectively. After analysing studies, sodium silicate solution was produced from commercial casting sand. During silica aerogel synthesize, 5 different pH degree was investigated including 2-4-6-8 and 9. Silica aerogel modification (Super hydrophobic) was made by choosing the optimum pH value. Afer then, on the synthesized experiment sample, FT-IR, BET, SEM and contact angle characterization studies were realised respectively. As a result of preliminary experiments done with different pH experiments, sample with the lowest density was determined as pH 8 value. Keywords: Casting sand, Sol-gel, Silica aerogel

In this research, magnetite coated with L-arginine modified silica (Fe3O4/SiO2-GPTMS-Arg) has been synthesized through a sol-gel process at a room temperature in two Routes. In Route 1, a precursor of sodium silicate solution (source of SiO2), 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as a coupling agent and L-arginine (Arg) as the source of functional groups were added sequentially to magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4). Gelling was carried out by adding HCl solution dropwise to the mixture to reach pH of 7.0. The product was washed with water and ethanol and then dried at 65 °C for 1 day. In Route 2, sodium silicate solution was added to a mixture of GPTMS and L-arginine, and then the sol obtained was added into magnetite nanoparticles. The results were characterized with FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, atomic absorption spectroscopy and volumetric method to identify functional groups, crystal size, iron ions released and amino groups content, respectively. The results showed that Fe3O4/SiO2-GPTMS-Arg has been successfully synthesized through both two routes. Route 1, however, gave product of Fe3O4/SiO2-GPTMS-Arg more stable and more content of amino groups than Route 2. The presence of amino groups leads to the application of the product for metal ion removal from aqueous solution.

We report a method to adjust the size of silica nanoparticles from silica sand. In this study, synthesized silica nanoparticles by sol gel process from silica sand were conducted, with previously was controlled the size of silica sand by mechanical milling. Silica sand was milled by High Energy Milling in order to reduce the size into powder form. Effect of milling time shown the content of sodium and silicon is increased in sodium silicate solution obtained from various times of silica sand milling (30, 60 and 90 minutes, respectively) which is reacted with sodium hydroxide 8 M. The result of silica nanoparticles from sol gel process of sodium silicate solution were characterized using atomic absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. It was found that the size of silica nanoparticles could be tailored with the change of milling time.

Indoor surface contamination by microbes is a major public health concern. A damp environment is one potential sources for microbe proliferation. Smart photocatalytic coatings on building surfaces using semiconductors like titania (TiO<sub>2</sub>) can effectively curb this growing threat.<b> </b>Metal-doped titania in anatase phase has been proved as a promising candidate for energy and environmental applications. In this present work, the antimicrobial efficacy of copper (Cu) doped TiO<sub>2 </sub>(Cu-TiO<sub>2</sub>) was evaluated against <i>Escherichia coli</i> (Gram-negative) and <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (Gram-positive) under visible light irradiation. Doping of a minute fraction of Cu (0.5 mol %) in TiO<sub>2 </sub>was carried out <i>via</i> sol-gel technique. Cu-TiO<sub>2</sub> further calcined at various temperatures (in the range of 500 °C – 700 °C) to evaluate the thermal stability of TiO<sub>2</sub> anatase phase. The physico-chemical properties of the samples were characterised through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-visible spectroscopy techniques. XRD results revealed that the anatase phase of TiO<sub>2</sub> was maintained well, up to 650 °C, by the Cu dopant. UV-DRS results suggested that the visible light absorption property of Cu-TiO<sub>2 </sub>was enhanced and the band gap is reduced to 2.8 eV. Density functional theory (DFT) studies emphasises the introduction of Cu<sup>+</sup> and Cu<sup>2+</sup> ions by replacing Ti<sup>4+</sup> ions in the TiO<sub>2</sub> lattice, creating oxygen vacancies. These further promoted the photocatalytic efficiency. A significantly high bacterial inactivation (99.9%) was attained in 30 mins of visible light irradiation by Cu-TiO<sub>2</sub>.
