Development of ZFO family nanophotocatalysts: Clean hydrogen production by a new high performance photoreactor.

In this study, ZnFeO (ZFO), PdZnFeO (PZFO), BaCaMgSrZnFeO (BCMSZFO), CaCoCuZnFeO (CCCZFO), MgMnZnFeO (MMZFO), and CoCuMgMnNiZnFeO (CCMMNZFO) nanospinels were synthesized via a hydrothermal method assisted by succinic acid. This material was evaluated for hydrogen production through photocatalytic water splitting under separate irradiation wavelengths of visible LED light. The chemical, physical, and photophysical properties of the ZFO family nanophotocatalysts were characterized using FT-IR, XRD, FESEM-EDX-MAP, UV-Vis DRS, and VSM.

Ultrasound-assisted extraction of antimicrobial compounds from Thymus daenensis and Silybum marianum: Antimicrobial activity with and without the presence of natural silver nanoparticles.

The present study is devoted to prepare a new antibacterial and antifungal agent based on in situ-synthesized silver nanoparticles at room temperature using Rosmarinus officinalis (R. officinalis) leaf extract. The Ag-NPs characterization by UV-visible, SEM, TEM and XRD revealed that the particles sizes were in the range of 10-33 nm.

Isotherms and kinetic study of ultrasound-assisted adsorption of malachite green and Pb ions from aqueous samples by copper sulfide nanorods loaded on activated carbon: Experimental design optimization.

Copper sulfide nanorods loaded on activated carbon (CuS-NRs-AC) was synthesized and used for simultaneous ultrasound-assisted adsorption of malachite green (MG) and Pb ions from aqueous solution. Following characterization of CuS-NRs-AC were investigated by SEM, EDX, TEM and XRD, the effects of pH (2.0-10), amount of adsorbent (0.

Synthesis and characterization of ZnS:Ni-NPs loaded on AC derived from apple tree wood and their applicability for the ultrasound assisted comparative adsorption of cationic dyes based on the experimental design.

The applicability of ZnS:Ni nanoparticles loaded on activated carbon derived from apple tree wood (ZnS:Ni-NPs-ACATW) for the adsorption of Methylene Blue (MB) and Janus Green B (JGB) dyes in single system from water solution has been described. The synthesized adsorbent characterized and identified by UV-Vis, FE-SEM, EDX, TEM, FTIR and XRD. The influences of operation parameters including initial MB or JGB concentration (9.
