Structural, Optical, and Arsenic Removal Properties of Sol-Gel Synthesized Fe-Doped TiO Nanoparticles.

Pure and Fe-doped TiO nanoparticles were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, BET, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The results show a dependence between the crystallite size and the amount of dopant, which decreases from 13.

Hydrogen storage in purified multi-walled carbon nanotubes: gas hydrogenation cycles effect on the adsorption kinetics and their performance.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are an alternative for storage with low cost, eco-friendly, and good performance for both process adsorption and desorption. Herein, a purification procedure of MWCNTs was successfully described and studied by using XRD, TEM, Raman spectroscopy and by means of N adsorption-desorption isotherms using the BET method. The H storage properties at room temperature of the purified carbon nanotubes exposed to gas under pressures between 0.

As(III) Removal from Aqueous Solution by Calcium Titanate Nanoparticles Prepared by the Sol Gel Method.

Arsenic (As) contamination of water is a serious problem in developing countries. In water streams, arsenic can be as As(V) and As(III), the latter being the most toxic species. In this work, an innovative adsorbent based on CaTiO nanoparticles (CTO) was prepared by the sol-gel technique for the removal of As(III) from aqueous solution.
