tungsten trioxide nanoparticles with two different sizes (average particle sizes about 50 and 80 nm) were prepared by the spray pyrolysis method. photo degradation of congo red (azo dye) showed that photo catalytic property of the as-prepared wo3 nanoparticles with average size about 80 nm is higher than the sample with average size about 50 nm. photo degradation of rhodamine b (cationic triary...

graphene, a new member of the carbon family, was used as an adsorbent due to its exceptional capability to remove rhodamine b (rb) and malachite green (mg), two organic dyes, from aqueous solutions. adsorption kinetics of rb and mg onto graphene and adsorption capacity of the adsorbent were studied. also the effects of parameters, including ph, contact time, temperature, and adsorbent dosage we...

A new octahedral ZnO/ZnFe2O4 heterostructure has been fabricated through a facile surfactant-free solvothermal method followed by thermal treatment. It exhibits a record-high adsorption capacity (up to 4983.0 mg·g(-1)) of malachite green (MG), which is a potentially harmful dye in prevalence and should be removed from wastewater and other aqueous solutions before discharging into the environmen...

Mesoporous amorphous and nanocrystalline titanium dioxide were prepared by simple and environmental friendly modified Sol-Gel method using cationic (C14TAB, C16TAB, C18TAB) and nonionic (Plantacare UP K55) surfactant as pore forming agent. The obtained particles were characterized by BET, TEM, FT-IR and XRD techniques. The effect of cationic surfactant chain...

The sonochemical acceleration of bleaching of Rhodamine B by sodium hypochlorite has been studied using ultrasound intensities in the range 0-7 W cm(-2). Using a 20 kHz ultrasonic horn, it was shown that ultrasound could significantly shorten the treatment time and/or the concentration of hypochlorite required for the reaction. A number of intermediate species formed during the reaction have be...

Activated carbon prepared from Tamarindus Indica fruit shells has been used for the removal of two basic dyes, namely, rhodamine B and malachite green from aqueous solutions. Freundlich, Langmuir and Redlich-Peterson isotherm equations were used to fit the equilibrium adsorption data and the isotherm parameters were evaluated. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity was found to be 3.1 mg/g ...

A novel method for the separation/analysis rhodamine B has been described. The ionic liquid (1-tetradecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide)/anion surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate)/NaCl two-phase systems (ATPSs) is presented as a simple, rapid and effective sample pretreatment technique coupled with ultraviolet spectrometry for analysis rhodamine B in soft drink. The effects of parameters on the AT...

BiOCl microflowers were synthesized using bismuth nitrate pentahydrate and sodium chloride by microwave (MW) assisted synthesis method for 23 minutes at 180 W. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies revealed a unique morphology of flower-like assemblies comprised of nanosheets. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern showed that a highly pure and crystalline phase has been obtained. The energy ...
