A new in-situ precipitation technique is introduced in this study to prepare hydroxyapatite/titania nanocomposites. This technique provides a better control over the microstructures and phase compositions of nanocomposites. The structure and surface morphology of hydroxyapatite/titania nanocomposite were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopes. The photocatalytic activity of hydroxyapatite/titania nanocomposite was evaluated by photocatalytic decolorization of methyl orange in aqueous solution as a model pollutant under UV-irradiation. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared results indicated that hydroxyapatite and anatase (TiO2) were the major crystalline phases. There had been no reaction between hydroxyapatite and titania compounds. Based on the SEM images, the overall morphology of the samples indicates that there exists a distribution of small particles and large agglomerates.The hydroxyapatite/titania nanocomposite exhibited high photocatalytic activity hydroxyapatite/titania nanocomposite under UV-irradiation. After 8 h of irradiation by UV-irradiation, over 80% of methyl orange solution (5 mg L-1) was decolorized with 1 gL-1 of the photocatalyst. Since this process does not require the addition of hydrogen peroxide and uses UV-irradiation in this study are environmentally friendly method to decolorize azo dye.

Decoloration Rate

Silver (Ag+) doped iron (III) vanadate (FeVO4) samples are prepared by the precipitation method and then characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The photocatalytic activity under visible light is evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) in the solution. The results show that both FeVO4 and Ag+ doped FeVO4 samples are triclinic, the later have different surface morphology, and some needle-shaped materials appear in the later. From XPS, there are more Fe2+ ions in Ag+ doped FeVO4 sample than that in FeVO4 one without Ag+. It indicates that Ag+ doping can increase the density of the surface oxygen vacancies of catalysts, which can act as electron traps promoting the electron-hole separation and then increase the photo-activity. The decoloration rate after Ag+ doping against methyl orange solution can reach about 81%, and be more about 20％ than that of pure FeVO4.

This contribution reports first time synthesis of Cr2O3 nanostructures from chromium (III) chloride hexahydrate precursor using Vernonia amygdalina leaves extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. Powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy techniques were used to study the structural and morphological properties of the as-synthesized Cr2O3 nanostructures. Powder X-ray diffraction patterns spectral analysis showed that hexagonal Cr2O3 nanostructures with an average crystallite size of 23.4 nm were synthesized with the minor appearance of CrO2. SEM images showed that the synthesized nanomaterials are granules. Fourier-transform infrared spectra represent a sharp absorption band at 552 cm-1, which indicates Cr-O-Cr vibrational and stretching modes.

Sebuah penelitian tentang sistem dispersi padat dari asiklovir dengan poloxamer 188 telah dilakukan formulasi dengan pencampuran secara fisika dengan rasio 1 : 1, 1 : 3, 1 : 5 dan dispersi padat 1 : 1, 1 : 3, 1 : 5 dan penggilingan 1:1 sebagai pembanding. Dispersi padat dibuat menggunakan metode pencairan (fusi), yang digabung dengan poloxamer 188 pada hotplate kemudian asiklovir dimasukkan ke dalam hasil poloxamer 188 lalu di kocok hingga membentuk masa homogen. Semua formula yang terbentuk termasuk asiklovir poloxamer 188 murni dianalisis karakterisasinya dengan Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), dan Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), kemudian pengambilan dilakukan  (penentuan kadar) mengunakan spektrofotometer UV pada panjang gelombang 257,08 nm dan uji laju disolusi dengan aquadest bebas CO2 menggunakan metode dayung. Hasil pengambilan  (penentuan kadar) menunjukkan bahwa semua formula memenuhi persyaratan farmakope Amerika edisi 30 dan farmakope Indonesia edisi 4 yaitu 95-110%. Sedangkan hasil uji laju disolusi untuk campuran fisik 1: 1, dan dispersi padat 1: 1, dan penggilingan 1: 1 menunjukkan peningkatan yang nyata dibandingkan asiklovir murni. Hal ini juga dapat dilihat dari hasil perhitungan statistik  menggunakan analisis varian satu arah  SPSS 17.

The TiO2/NiFe2O4 (TN) composite nanoparticles with different mass ratios of NiFe2O4 to TiO2 were prepared via sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction was used to characterize the phase structure of TN. The results indicated that adulterating a smidgen of NiFe2O4 into the TiO2 (about 0.1%) can promote the phase transformation of TiO2, however, when the doping amount of NiFe2O4 surpasses 1%, the introduction of NiFe2O4 can inhibit the growth of TiO2 crystal grain and reduce the size of TiO2 crystal grain. The degradation experiment of methyl orange solution under UV illumination (253.7 nm) showed that the content of NiFe2O4 in the TN was higher, the photocatalytic activity of TN was worse, and the 0.1% TiO2/NiFe2O4 calcined at 400 °C presented the best photocatalytic activity.

For a few decades, Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) has been the most studied photocatalyst due to its significant optical property. In the paper, TiO2 pigment powder (Anatase form) was selected as a precursor to prepare a variety of Black-TiO2 samples, and the typical material was then evaluated for its photocatalytic activity in organic pollutant treatment. Some properties of Black-TiO2 were determined via common methods such as sensory analysis, X-Ray diffraction, and bandgap measurement obtained from UV-Vis spectroscopy. As a result, the material was successfully converted to more than 40% organic pollutant as Methyl Orange (C14H14N3NaO3S) for an hour, as two times higher than that of the amount converted by pristine TiO2. In addition, Black-TiO2 performed much better photocatalytic activity in an acidic medium in comparison with a neutral one, and the material also remained its activity as more than 90% after three time-continuous recycling operations.
