Green synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticle using leaf extract: application for photocatalytic degradation of remazol yellow RR dye and antibacterial activity.

Synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles by the recently developed green approach is extremely promising because of its non-toxicity and environmentally friendly behavior. In this study, nano scaled iron oxide particles (α-FeO) were synthesized from hexahydrate ferric chloride (FeCl.6HO) with the addition of papaya () leaf extract under atmospheric conditions.

Reinforcement of Gelatin-Based Nanofilled Polymer Biocomposite by Crystalline Cellulose from Cotton for Advanced Wound Dressing Applications.

This study is designed to extract crystalline cellulose from cotton and reinforcing gelatin film for biomedical applications, especially as a wound dressing material for its exceptional biocompatibility and bio-activity. Moreover, gelatin helps in wound healing and crystalline cellulose as additive can improve its properties. Crystalline cellulose was prepared through hydrolysis and the effects of crystalline cellulose loading on the morphology, mechanical properties, and water sensitivity of the nanocomposite were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy, tensile strength testing, and water absorption testing.

Adsorption of cesium on cement mortar from aqueous solutions.

The adsorption of cesium on cement mortar from aqueous solutions was studied in series of bench-scale tests. The effects of cesium concentration, temperature and contact time on process kinetics and equilibrium were evaluated. Experiments were carried out in a range of initial cesium concentrations from 0.

Kinetic and equilibrium studies of cesium adsorption on ceiling tiles from aqueous solutions.

A series of experiments were performed to quantify the adsorption of cesium on ceiling tiles as a representative of urban construction materials. Adsorption was carried out from solutions to mimic wet environmental conditions. Non-radioactive cesium chloride was used as a surrogate of the radioactive (137)Cs.

Titania-coated monolithic silica as separation medium for high performance liquid chromatography of phosphorus-containing compounds.

A method of preparing titania-coated monolithic silica stationary phase has been developed to achieve liquid chromatographic separation of phosphorus-containing compounds, which have recently been attracting increasing attention in biochemical research. The titania-coated silica columns exhibited efficient separation with low pressure drop, which is a typical feature of monolithic structures, and also possessed phospho-selectivity, which is a unique property of the titania surface. The material characteristics of titania-coated monolithic silica were examined, and then resin-clad columns were applied to the HPLC analysis of phosphorylated compounds.
