various concentrations of copper are embedded into silica matrix to xerogel form using copper source - cu(no3)2∙3h2o. the xerogel samples are prepared by hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (teos) by the sol-gel method  and with determination of new molar ratio of components h2o/teos to be 6.2. in this investigation, the necessary amount of trihydrated copper nitrate is adde...

the waste tyres represent a source of energy and valuable hydrocarbon products. waste tyres were pyrolysed catalytically in a batch reactor under atmospheric pressure. the effects of basic catalysts (mgo and caco3) were studied on the pyrolysis products. the distribution ratio of gas, liquid and char with mgo and caco3 were 24.4:39.8:35.8 wt % and 32.5:32.2:35.2 wt % respectively at 350°c for 2...

the study describes the synthesis and characterization of zinc(ii) minoxidil nanocomposite (1). the reaction between zinc(ii) acetate, minoxidil, {c9h15n5o=minoxidil=(2,4-diamino-6-piperidine-1-yl) pyrimidine n-oxide)} as a ligand and ki as bridging agent, in methanol at 60°c leads to the formation of nano-sized zn(ii) minoxidil nanocomposite, 1. characterization of (1) was carried out by eleme...

in comparison to the previous researches, zro2 nanoparticles with higher surface area (85 m2/g) have been synthesized in this research. the as-prepared zro2 nanoparticles by co-precipitation method were characterized with x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and transmission electron microscopy (tem). the surface area of the sample was characterized by bet method. the eff...

the aluminum oxide materials are widely used in ceramics, refractories and abrasives due to their hardness, chemical inertness, high melting point, non-volatility and resistance to oxidation and corrosion. the paper describes work done on synthesis of α-alumina by using the simple, non-expensive solution combustion method using glycine as fuel.aluminum oxide (al2o3) nanoparticles were synthesiz...

background: new treatment modalities are developed with the aim of escalating tumor absorbed dose and simultaneously sparing the normal structures. the use of nanotechnology in cancer treatment offers some possibilities including destroying cancer tumors with minimal damage to healthy tissues. zinc oxide nanoparticles (zno nps) are wide band gap semiconductors and seem to have a good effect on ...

increasing demands for cement, iron and steel industries for refractories with suitable workability in severeconditions (without any environmental risks), make the refractories’ researches to be an active area. refractories containing spinel has been developed with addition of chromia as a substitute in refractories using magnesite - chromite. in this research, different amounts of cr2o3 were a...

in this paper, cuo nanoparticles  have been synthesized via solid-state thermal decomposition using copper(ii) schiff base complexes as new precursors at 600ºc under air atmosphere for 3 h. surface morphology of the products were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem).

this paper focused on a simple approach for synthesis of molybdenum oxide (moo3) nanoparticles and reports a facile route for synthesis of such nanoparticles, using microwave irradiation as a homogenous and powerful source of heating, using ethylene glycol as the solvent and heating medium. for more investigations, besides microwave heating, the obtained solutions were also treated by conventio...

in this research, the inhibitory effects of silver nanoparticles and zinc oxide nanoparticles,  in vitro, on disease stone fruits bacterial canker caused by pseudomonas syrigae pv. syringae and disease bacterial blight caused by xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis, were studied. different concentrations of nanoparticles were prepared on mueller hinton agar medium in two different ways in a com...
