Ultrasound-assisted adsorption approach for desulfurization of n-heptane using nitrogen-doped magnetic carbon dot nanocomposite.

Desulfurization is an important process that not only affects the quality and performances of fuels but also is of great importance from environmental aspects. In this research, nitrogen-doped magnetic carbon dots nanocomposite was synthesized and characterized, and it's potential in adsorptive removal of thiophenes (i.e.

Preparation and characterization of γ-FeO nanoparticles and investigation of its adsorption performance for sulfide, sulfite and thiosulfate from aqueous solutions using ultrasonic assisted method: Modeling and optimization.

Maghemite nanoparticles, as an adsorbent, was used for the removal of sulfur species including sulfide, sulfite and thiosulfate from waste water samples by ultrasonic-assisted adsorption method. The characterization of the prepared nanoparticles was carried out by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and BET technique. The nanoparticles well dispersed in the water.

Application of nickel zinc ferrite/graphene nanocomposite as a modifier for fabrication of a sensitive electrochemical sensor for determination of omeprazole in real samples.

In the present study, a simple and highly sensitive sensor for the determination of omeprazole based on nickel-zinc ferrite/graphene modified glassy carbon electrode is reported. The morphology and electro analytical performance of the fabricated sensor were characterized with X-ray diffraction spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and operation of the sensor. Results were compared with those achieved at the graphene modified glassy carbon electrode and bare glassy carbon electrode.

Gold nanoparticle/multi-walled carbon nanotube modified glassy carbon electrode as a sensitive voltammetric sensor for the determination of diclofenac sodium.

A simple and highly sensitive sensor for the determination of diclofenac sodium based on gold nanoparticle/multi-walled carbon nanotube modified glassy carbon electrode is reported. Scanning electron microscopy along with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry was used to characterize the nanostructure and performance of the sensor and the results were compared with those obtained at the multi-walled carbon nanotube modified glassy carbon electrode and bare glassy carbon electrode. Under the optimized experimental conditions diclofenac sodium gave linear response over the range of 0.

A highly sensitive method for simultaneous determination of ultra trace levels of copper and cadmium in food and water samples with luminol as a chelating agent by adsorptive stripping voltammetry.

In the present study a selective method is presented for the simultaneous determination of copper and cadmium in food samples by adsorptive stripping voltammetry. In preliminary studies, it has been proven that the copper and cadmium react with 3-aminophthalhydrazide (luminol), giving rise to the formation of these complexes. These complexes have adsorptive characteristics on hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) and can be reduced in a reduction step.
