In the present study, Pb-ZnO, Fe-ZnO, Cd-ZnO and Pb-Fe-Cd-ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by the sonochemical method and those structural and optical properties were investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Vis spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Average crystallite size obtained was 60 nm. Moreover, the di...

High-frequency ultrasounds have recently gained interest as oxidative technique for sonochemical degradation of organic contaminants in water. In this study an innovative approach applying 200 kHz ultrasounds to improve both sludge anaerobic biodegradability and decontamination is proposed. Digestion tests were performed on batch reactors fed either with untreated or sonicated sludge, at differ...

Textile industry waste can pollute the aquatic environment because it contains dye contaminants with very stable properties that are difficult to degrade naturally. However, degradation be carried out by photodegradation using ZnO-Fe3O4 magnetic nanocomposite photocatalysts. This study aims synthesize through a sonochemical method. Then measure their photocatalytic activity in methylene blue de...

BACKGROUND Organophosphorus pesticides are one of the most prevalent usages for pest control in the country. Such pesticides enter into water sources by different routes. Since drinking of contaminated water at the higher doses than the standard level, may causes undesirable effects to human health and ecosystem. The object of this research was to investigate the effect of various parameters in...

We report a sonochemical method of functionalizing superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES). Mechanical stirring, localized hot spots and other unique conditions generated by an acoustic cavitation (sonochemical) process were found to induce a rapid silanization reaction between SPION and APTES. FTIR, XPS and XRD measurements were used to de...

High quality MOF-5 crystals of 5-25 mum in size were prepared for the first time using a sonochemical method in substantially reduced synthesis time (ca. 30 min) compared with conventional solvothermal synthesis (24 h).

paraloid-mg(oh)2 nanocomposites were synthesized via sonochemical method. nanostructures were characterized by xrd and sem. thermal stability behavior of paraloid filled with magnesium hydroxide was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (tga). the influence of mg(oh)2 nanostructures on the flame retardancy of the paraloid matrix was studied using ul-94 analysis. our results show that the m...
