The present study describes the preparation, structural and electrical characterization of nanosized Zr-Mn cobalt-ferrites. The nominal compositions CoFe2-2xZrxMnxO4 (0.10.4) have been synthesized by the co-precipitation method. These nanopowder products were sintered in furnace at temperature of 800 °C for 8 hour with a heating rate of 10οC/min to obtain these ferrites. The nanopowder was evaluated using XRD, FT-IR and SEM. The XRD data showed that all the samples are of single phase and the crystallite size is found in the range of 2630 nm. The lattice constant (a), X-ray density (dx), porosity (P) and bulk density (dm) are also calculated from XRD data. FT-IR study confirms the presence of ferrite functional groups. The IR spectra of Zr-Mn ferrite system have been analyzed in the frequency range 400650 cm-1. It revealed two prominent bands υ1 and υ2 which are assigned to tetrahedral and octahedral metal complexes, respectively. The position of the highest frequency band is around 550 cm-1 while the lower frequency band is around 425 cm-1. The structural properties are also analyzed on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at room temperature. Additionally, the dc electrical resistivity decreased with the rise in temperature for all the samples, showing a semiconductor like behavior. From the dc electrical resistivity the activation energy and drift mobility are determined. Both the drift mobility and activation energy increase with a rise in x.

Spinel ferrites, which have the general chemical composition MeFe2O4, (Me = Co, Zn, Ni) are of interest due to their electronic, magnetic and optical properties. Nanosized Co-Zr-Mn spinel ferrites with nominal composition CoFe2-2xZrxMnxO4 (0.1≤ x≤0.4) have been prepared by the co-precipitation route. The products are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at room temperature, dc electrical resistivity as a function of temperature and dielectric parameters in the frequency range of 100 Hz to 3 MHz are also measured. The lattice constants agree with usual spinel ferrites. The particle size calculated from X-ray data by the Scherrer formula is in the range of 28-30 nm, while the average particle size varies from 15-25 nm obtained from the SEM measurements, X-ray density (Dx), Porosity (P) and bulk density (Dm) for all the samples are calculated. The dc electrical resistivity decreased with the rise in temperature for all the samples, showing a semiconductor like behavior. From the dc electrical resistivity the activation energy and drift mobility are determined. Both the drift mobility and activation energy increase with a rise in x. The dielectric constant, dielectric loss and ac electrical resistivity as a function of frequency are also reported. The low field ac magnetic susceptibility measurement showed that the ferrimagentic transition temperature is in the range of 439±5 K to 658±5 K.

The objective of this study was to develop a novel silica modified large-sized hydroxyapatite whiskers with improved properties for use in bone repair applications. Large-sized whiskers with a mean length of 250μm were obtained by a hydrothermal co-precipitation method at 150°C, 7.5Mpa in high-pressure reactor. Silica modified hydroxyapatite whiskers were prepared by dissolving TEOS in ethanol solution, then sintering with hydroxyapatite. The compositional and morphological properties of prepared whiskers were studied by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fouier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated the evidence of nanosilicon dioxide particles on the surface of HAP whiskers. The size of nanosilicon dioxide particles depends on dropping and stirring rate. Hence, this new type of silica modified large-sized hydroxyapatite whiskers is a valuable candidate for biomedical applications.Key words: hydroxyapatite, hydrothermal co-precipitation, surface modified, whiskers

Pt,Pd,Ni/MgO, Pt,Pd,Ni/Mg0.97La3+0.03O, Pt,Pd,Ni/Mg0.93La3+0.07O, and Pt,Pd,Ni/Mg0.85La3+0.15O (1% of each of the Ni, Pd, and Pt) catalysts were prepared by a surfactant-assisted co-precipitation method. Samples were characterized by the XRD, XPS, XRF, FT-IR, H2-TPR, TEM, the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method, and TGA and were tested for the dry reforming of methane (DRM). TEM and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) methods were used to analyze the carbon deposition on spent catalysts after 200 h at 900 °C. At a temperature of 900 °C and a 1:1 CH4:CO2 ratio, the tri-metallic Pt,Pd,Ni/Mg0.85La3+0.15O catalyst with a lanthanum promoter showed a higher conversion of CH4 (85.01%) and CO2 (98.97%) compared to the Ni,Pd,Pt/MgO catalysts in the whole temperature range. The selectivity of H2/CO decreased in the following order: Pt,Pd,Ni/Mg0.85La3+0.15O > Pt,Pd,Ni/Mg0.93La3+0.07O > Pt,Pd,Ni/Mg0.97La3+0.03O > Ni,Pd,Pt/MgO. The results indicated that among the catalysts, the Pt,Pd,Ni/Mg0.85La23+0.15O catalyst exhibited the highest activity, making it the most suitable for the dry reforming of methane reaction.

Inclusion complex of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and Plai (Zingiber cassumunar) oil was prepared using a simple co-precipitation method at β-CD to Plai oil in different ratios. The inclusion complexes were characterized using Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The FT-IR absorption bands of inclusion complex at 3600-3200 cm-1 were broader and shifted toward lower frequencies compared with that of pure β-CD (3359 cm-1). DSC of the inclusion complexes showed two endothermic peaks shifted to lower temperatures (90-100°C and 295-300°C) compared to that of β-CD. The different physicochemical characteristic could be an indication of an embedded guest molecule in the β-CD cavities in the inclusion complex preparation.

The magnetic nanoparticles of manganese-doped magnetite (Mn-Fe2O4) were synthesized by the simple co-precipitation method. The stable Mn2+ and Fe3+ salts in the ratio of 1:2 in aqueous solution, were added into the sodium hydroxide solution to form the Mn-Fe2O4 precipitate at temperature of 95°C. The synthesized nanoparticles were then characterized by Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). It was then entrapped in the PVA-alginate matrix to form the nanophotoadsorbent in beads form. The synthesized nanoparticles embedded bead was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The effects of various parameters, such as contact time, pH, nanoparticles dosage were investigated. The control study was also performed to reveal the performance of photo-adsorbent towards the Cu (II) removal under the light and dark conditions. It was found that the removal efficiency of the Cu (II) achieved 97.07% (1.46ppm) which complied to the WHO drinking water standard of less than 1.5ppm after 180 min treatment.

This article describes the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles (Nps) using the co-precipitation method and then calcinated at 500oC for 2 h. The photo activity of ZnO nanoparticles was examined in photo decolorization of methyl green dye under artificial UV -A light. This prepared photocatalyst (ZnO Np) was modified his surface by 2% Ag doped using the photo deposition method under inert gas for 3h. The characterization of undoped and 2% Ag doped ZnO Nps were estimated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Atomic force microscopy (AFM). In FT-IR analysis, the new peaks occurred around 624-778 cm-1 confirmed the Ag really is doped on prepared ZnO Np. Based on data from XRD, the mean crystal size was reduced with doped the 2% Ag. The AFM images for the prepared photocatalysts ensure that the shapes of all samples are semi-spherical with nanometer size. Series of kinetics experiments were performed for the photocatalytic decolourization of methyl green dye using undoped and 2% Ag doped ZnO nanoparticle and found to be pseudo-first-order kinetics.

BaTi5O11 has been widely researched due to its unique microwave properties. Conventionally it is challenging to obtain this compound as a single phase. The BaTi5O11 was synthesized via co-precipitation technique using an aqueous solution of titanium(IV)(triethanolaminato) isopropoxide, barium nitrate and ammonia as precursors which are stable in an aqueous media. The phase evolution, purity, and structure were identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy analysis. The desired BaTi5O11 structure was obtained by calcination at 900?C. Furthermore, the structure is characterized by TGA, FT-IR and Raman studies. The study showed that the particles were between 80 and 120 nm in size and the average crystallite size was determined from the Scherrer formula as 68.1 nm at 900?C.
