in this study, the adsorption of thallium (iii) ion from aqueous solutions onto modified znonanopowder as a fairly low cost adsorbent has been investigated in batch mode. it was found thatmodification of the adsorbent was essential for obtaining the significant adsorption percentage. theadsorbent modified by sodium phosphate solution. the effect of experimental parameters such asinitial ph of s...

Abstract This paper discuss the optical parameters of tin oxide nanopowder prepared by sol-gel method. Tin shows 81 % transmittance in near IR region. In this region, highest reflectance, %. The band gap was 3.43 eV. cut-off wavelength is 362.15 nm. refractive index and extinction coefficient were calculated. real imaginary values dielectric constants calculated value constant higher than const...

Fe-Cr-Al alloy nanopowders were successfully prepared by electrical wire explosion method in ethyl alcohol media. The formation of FeCr-Al alloy nanopowder was monitored by X-ray diffraction. The alloy powders have spherical shape and nanometer size. The alloy powders prepared by the electrical wire explosion method have main crystal structures of bcc Fe-Cr alloy. The geometric mean diameter an...

Micro-electric discharge machining (μ-EDM) is an important manufacturing process that is able to produce components and tools with micro-features. Improvement to this process has resulted in the use of powder mixed dielectric (PMD), which results in better surface quality and faster machining time. However, the presence of conductive powder in the dielectric fluid negatively affects the accurac...

A new technique of metal nanopowder production and in situ coating using a microarc discharge is proposed. The feasibility of this method is demonstrated and preliminary results are presented. The microarc discharge was operated at 1 atm in both pure Ar and natural gas environments. Respectively, aluminium nanoparticles without and with ∼1 nm thick carbon surface coating were obtained. The morp...

An np-Si microwire array coupled with a two-layer catalyst film consisting of Ni–Mo nanopowder and TiO2 light-scattering nanoparticles has been used to simultaneously achieve high fill factors and lightlimited photocurrent densities from photocathodes that produce H2(g) directly from sunlight and water. The TiO2 layer scattered light back into the Si microwire array, while optically obscuring t...

An amperometric biosensor for serotonin detection and quantification, using a carbon paste electrode modified with cobalt(II) phthalocyanine and tyrosinase is described. The tyrosinase immobilization on carbon nanopowder was made using drop-and-dry method followed by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. The novel biosensor response was optimized using serotonin and it presented the best performan...

Radiation transport and multiple scattering calculations are presented and compared with experimental observations to characterize light attenuation in high emissivity nanopowders irradiated with low power laser light at room temperature, and to explain the associated white light emission and the onset of melting. Using radiation tuned to an absorption resonance of Yb dopants in Y2O3 nanopowder...

The use of cheaper and recyclable biomaterials (like eggshells) to synthesize high purity hydroxyapatite (HAp) with better properties (small particle size, large surface area and pore volume) for applications (in environmental remediation, bone augmentation and replacement, and drug delivery systems) is vital since high-purity synthetic calcium sources are expensive. In this work, pure and meso...
