nickel doped tio2 nano particles (1% w/w) were prepared and immobilized on nax zeolite and after characterization by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem) used as photo catalyts for degradation of orange g. the xrd patterns show that the supported tio2 are crystallized in anatase form and the intensity of the zeolite peaks decreases with the increase of tio2 loading. sc...

In this study, photocatalytic degradation of diazinon was investigated using commercial nano-TiO2as a photocatalyst the operational parameters such as adsorption, aeration, pH and nano-TiO2 dosage were investigated. Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) technique was used to extract and preconcentration of residual diazinon and by-products from the liquid samples and the analysis was...

Self-assembled supramolecular organization of nano-structured biomimetic light-harvesting modules inside solid-state nano-templates can be exploited to develop excellent light-harvesting materials for artificial photosynthetic devices. We present here a hybrid light-harvesting system mimicking the chlorosomal structures of the natural photosynthetic system using synthetic zinc chlorin units (Zn...

-The present work is focused on the heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation of Amaranth dye over immobilized nano-crystals of TiO2. Immobilization has been an acceptable approach to overcome the drawbacks encountered with powder suspensions. Immobilization is performed using polyvinyl alcohol-formaldehyde binder. This method of immobilization does not require thermal heating at high temperatur...

the production and use of synthetic nanoparticles is growing rapidly, and therefore the presence of these materials in the environment seems inevitable. titanium dioxide (tio2) presents various possible uses in industry, cosmetics, and even in the treatment of contaminated environments. studies about the potential ecotoxicological risks of tio2 nanoparticles (nano-tio2) have been published but...

The polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/Fe 3+ -TiO2 catalytic membrane was prepared by sol-gel method. It was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FT-IR spectrum (FT-IR), mechanics capability, water flux, pepsin retention, porosity and contact angle etc. The catalytic activity of PVDF/Fe 3+ -TiO2 catalytic membrane was evaluated by the degradation of refracto...

There are increasing safety concerns about the development and abundant use of nanoparticles. The unique physical and chemical characteristics of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles result in different chemical and biological activities compared to their larger micron-sized counterparts, and can subsequently play an important role in influencing toxicity. Therefore, our objective was to inves...

Tests were done on the effects of treatments of titanium dioxide spray on corn (Zea mays L.). The study was conducted as a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Treatments consisted of two factors; the first factor was stage of plant growth that spraying was applied (vegetative stage, appearance of male flowers and female flowers); and the second fac...
