In this study, the use of TiO2/SiO2 nanocomposites investigated to remove nitrate and total ironfrom wastewater. The nanoparticles and nanocomposites were characterized by the Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET), Field Emission Scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR),  X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). According to the BET...

A set of multicomponent perovskite oxide nanoparticles based on La1-xSrxCo1-yFeyO3-δ(LSCF) were prepared by a simple chemical precipitation method for application in low temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LT-SOFC) as cathode materials.  The precursor materials used in this synthesis were lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate [La(NO3)<su...

The Volcker task force on tax reform, part of the President’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board, faces a daunting task that is made materially more difficult by ex ante constraints placed on its purview and recommendations. Broad-based reform proposals seem to be out of the question, and distributional constraints appear to eliminate many serious ideas. Nevertheless, I believe that significant t...

   Magnetic nanoparticles are of great interest for researchers from a wide range of disciplines, including nano-magnetic fluids, nanocatalysis, biomedical applications, magnetic resonance imaging, and specifically environmental remediation. Nanomaterial like Iron Oxide (Fe3O4) is one of the most promising candidates to remove heavy metals and dyestuffs from the indust...

Chromium enters surface and ground waters through the wastewater of electroplating, textile, metallurgical, dye production, and other industries, leading to numerous adverse health effects. The potential property of nanoparticle adsorption of nickel oxide (NiO) and the economic nature of ultraviolet/hydrogen peroxide (UV/H2O2) process have eased the usage of these two proc...

Introduction Switched reluctance motors (SRMs) have several advantages (rotor simplicity, high speed operation, ease of repairing, high degree of independence between phases, short end-turn, and low inertia) and used for aerospace systems, marine propulsion systems, linear drives, mining drives, hand held tools and home utility applications. However, a major disadvantage of SRM is vibration pro...

Ciprofloxacin antibiotic that is used to cure several kinds of bacterial infections have a high solubility capacity in water. The influent of ciprofloxacin to water resources in a low concentration affect the photosynthesis of plants, transforms the morphological structure of the algae, and then disrupts the aquatic ecosystem. 75% of this compound is excreted from the body down to the wastewate...
