This study focus on the preparation of two supports including activated carbon derived from medlar and Palladium nanoparticles loaded on activated carbon (Pd-NP-AC). Subsequently, both adsorbent modified with a novel Schiff base chelating agent and their potential applicability for determination of trace amounts of metal ions from aqueous solution has been investigated. The method is based on c...

Localized surface plasmons are charge density oscillations confined to metallic nanoparticles. Excitation of localized surface plasmons by an electromagnetic field at an incident wavelength where resonance occurs results in a strong light scattering and an enhancement of the local electromagnetic fields. This paper is devoted to the mathematical modeling of plasmonic nanoparticles. Its aim is t...

Activate carbon impregnated with a mixture of copper oxide and zinc oxide performs well as active adsorber for NO2 removal in automotive cabin air filters. The oxide-loaded activated carbon exhibits superior long-term stability in comparison to pure activated carbon as has been shown in previous studies. The carbon material was loaded only with 2.5 wt% of each metal oxide. Characterization of t...

Treatment of lung epithelial cells with different kinds of nano-sized particles leads to cell proliferation. Because bigger particles fail to induce this reaction, it is suggested that the special surface properties, due to the extremely small size of these kinds of materials, is the common principle responsible for this specific cell reaction. Here the activation of the protein kinase B (Akt) ...

The nanoparticle technologies consisting of multiple layers of mixtures of activated carbon and ruthenium (IV) oxide for super capacitors are reported. The mono-particulate layer process described here is a modified Langmuir-Blodgett trough. We report the processes for a spray-coated zinc nanopowder electrode used as a counter-electrode forming a galvanic cell of extremely high charge storage c...

the aim of this study was to develop a novel multifunctional nanoparticle, which encapsulates spion and gemcitabine in plga±peg to form multifunctional drug delivery system. for this aim, super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (spions) were synthesized and encapsulated simultaneously with gemcitabine (gem) in plga±peg copolymers via w/o/w double emulsification method. optimum size and enca...

A lot of Researchers have addressed removing mercury as a pollutant from the wastewaters several industries. Heavy metals are being removed wastewater through adsorption on activated carbon, which is becoming additional popular. Although commercial carbon ideal adsorbent for elimination, its extensive usage limited because high cost, encouraging researchers to explore alternative effective and ...
