The research study is based on photo catalytic technologies coupled with nano chemical for the treatment of oil produced water. Application solar energy considered to a best choice due its abundance availability throughout year round in Sultanate Oman. In recent years, process has shown have great potential as low-cost, sustainable and environmentally friendly technology. Heterogeneous photocat...

Light is an attractive trigger for release of active molecules from nanocarriers in biological systems. Here, we describe a phenomenon of light-induced release of a fluorescent dye from lipid nano-droplets under visible light conditions. Using auto-emulsification process we prepared nanoemulsion droplets of 32nm size encapsulating the hydrophobic analogue of Nile Red, NR668. While these nano-dr...

This paper reports the development of a model for simulating polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) with non-precious metal catalyst (NPMC) cathodes. NPMCs present an opportunity to dramatically reduce the cost of PEFC electrodes by removing the costly Pt catalyst. To address the significant transport losses in thick NPMC cathodes (ca. >60 μm), we developed a hierarchical electrode model that r...

In this study, the ultrasonic, photocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic degradation of organics in textile industrial effluent was studied using ZnO nano catalyst, ZnO nano catalyst was synthesized by using sol-gel method. The structure and morphology of the catalyst were investigated using scanning election microscopy (SEM), electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray <span id="transma...

Bimetallic catalysts (Co:Mo ≈ 2:1 in atomic ratio) were prepared on quartz substrates from metal acetate solutions using a procedure of dip coating, followed by calcination and reduction. High-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) 1–2 nm in diameter were grown densely (~1.0×10 17 m-2) and vertically on these substrates during an alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition process. To cl...

The longevity of grouting has a significant effect on the safe and sustainable operation of many engineering projects. A 500-day experiment was carried out to study the long-term mechanical behavior of nano silica sol grouting. The nano silica sol was activated with different proportions of a NaCl catalyst and cured under fluctuating temperature and humidity conditions. The mechanical parameter...

We have recently been able to grow single-walled carbon nanotubes by purely thermal chemical vapour deposition (CVD) at temperatures as low as 400 degrees C. This has been achieved by separating the catalyst pre-treatment step from the growth step. In the pre-treatment step, a thin film catalyst is re-arranged into a series of nano-droplets, which are then the active catalysts. Both steps have ...

new series of spiroindeno[1,2-b]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5,3′-indolines as new urease inhibitors were synthesized by the catalytic procedure in high yield and short reaction time. in this method, biacidic carbon was prepared as a novel heterogeneous acid and was subsequently used as an efficient catalyst in this synthesis. the inhibitory activities of synthesized compounds were tested against ja...

the use of an inorganic phase in water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion has recently received considerable attention for preparing metal oxide nanoparticles. this is a technique, which allows preparation of ultrafine metal oxide nanoparticles within the size range 40 to 80 nm. preparation of nano chromium (iii) oxide studied investigated in the inverse microemulsion system. therefore the nucleation o...

This review paper provides researcherwith a comprehensive information about the Carbon Nano tubes and the catalyst parameters that influences theproduction and morphology of the of Carbon Nano tubes.Carbon nanotubes, referred to as CNTs, are one of the most important materials used in electrical, mechanical, thermal, chemical and textile industries. Since discovery of CNTs in 1991, many scienti...
