High-performance cellulose acetate fibers-loaded Alca layered double oxide adsorbents towards efficient elimination of anionic pollutants: Mechanism adsorption and RSM-CCD approach.

In the present research, we investigate Congo red (CR) removal by layered double hydroxide and oxide AlCa on cellulose acetate (CA) fiber as anion-adsorbents in aqueous solution. The as-prepared composite was characterized by FE-SEM, XRD, FTIR, EDS-mapping and BET-BJH analyses. The CR adsorption ability on AlCa LDH/CA and AlCa LDO/CA adsorbents was evaluated.

Recent advances in surface-mounted metal-organic framework thin film coatings for biomaterials and medical applications: a review.

Coatings of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have potential applications in surface modification for medical implants, tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems. Therefore, developing an applicable method for surface-mounted MOF engineering to fabricate protective coating for implant tissue engineering is a crucial issue. Besides, the coating process was desgined for drug infusion and effect opposing chemical and mechanical resistance.

Bifunctional quaternary magnetic composite as efficient heterojunctions photocatalyst for simultaneous photocatalytic visible light degradation of dye and herbicide pollutants from water and bacterial disinfection.

In the present study, the magnetic FeO/AgCO/AgPO/Ag nanocomposite were prepared through a simple co-precipitation method by using calendula officinalis seed extract as a stabilizer. The fabricated quaternary photocatalyst was applied for to degrade food dye Brilliant Blue FCF (BB) and herbicide Paraquat (PQ) as contaminants at binary mixture in a batch and continuous flow-loop photoreactor under visible light irradiation and also the antibacterial properties was investigated. The fabricated nanocomposite was determined by XRD, FESEM, EDX, BET&BJH, UV-DRS, FT-IR and VSM methods to gain insight about structure, morphology, purity, surface area, optical, functional group and magnetic properties.

Quantum dots based sensitive nanosensors for detection of antibiotics in natural products: A review.

Residual antibiotics in food products originated from administration of the antibiotics to animals may be accumulated through food metabolism in the human body and endanger safety and health. Thus, developing a prompt and accurate way for detection of antibiotics is a crucial issue. The zero-dimensional fluorescent probes including metals based, carbon and graphene quantum dots (QDs), are highly sensitive materials to use for the detection of a wide range of antibiotics in natural products.

Hydrophilic magnetic molecularly imprinted resin in PVDF membrane for efficient selective removal of dye.

Selective removal of contaminants from water by membranes is of practical importance for water purification and environmental protection. In the present study, through an in-situ polymerization process, a novel composite of FeO/molecularly imprinted resorcinol -formaldehyde-melamine resin (FeO/MIRFMR) was synthesized. Then, the novel membrane was prepared from a tea filter bag (TFB) as a base substrate which was subsequently coated by a casting solution containing polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix, Prunus scoparia gum as a hydrophilic agent and FeO/MIRFMR as selective filler by phase inversion technique.

Sonophotocatalytic treatment of rhodamine B using visible-light-driven CeO/AgCrO composite in a batch mode based on ribbon-like CeO nanofibers via electrospinning.

CeO/AgCrO composite photocatalyst was successfully fabricated using electrospinning and calcination and chemical precipitation method based on CeO ribbon-like fibers and characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The as-obtained CeO/AgCrO composite used photocatalytic performance in the sonophotodegradation of rhodamine B in aqueous solution under visible-light (LED) irradiation. DRS analysis illustrates that CeO/AgCrO composite exhibited enhanced absorption in the visible region-attributed CeO nanofibers The effect of four effective parameters including initial concentration of rhodamine B (RhB), photocatalyst dosage, pH, and irradiation time was studied and optimized using central composite design.
