        In this work, H3PW12O40 (PPT) and nano-sized titania supported on urea formaldehyde (UF) resinwas prepared via an impregnation method. The prepared sample was characterized by X-raydiffraction (XRD), UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR),scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The photocatalytic activity of the PPT/TiO2/UF sample was evaluated by the decolorization of BromothymolBlue (BB), Direct Yellow12 (DY) and Texas Red (TR) dye solutions under UV-Vis and visiblelight irradiation. The optical property of the PPT/TiO2/UF sample was evaluated by UV-Visspectrum. The effect of photocatalyst dosage and dye concentration on photo catalyticdecolorization of dyes was investigated. Photo catalytic efficiency of the PPT/TiO2/UF sample wascompared with TiO2/UF sample. Moreover, the reusability of the sample was examined. Manuscript profile

        The corrosion inhibition potential and efficacy of 2-hydropyrimidine-2-thione derivative on mildsteel in 0.5 M sulfuric acid solution was investigated using electrochemical polarization and FTIRspectroscopic techniques. In addition, docking studies were carried out as theoretical investigationof adsorption inhibitor on iron surface. The results of polarization studies indicate the exceptionallystrong efficiency of this compound as an inhibitor in H2SO4 solution. The electrochemical studies toelucidate the mechanism indicated adsorption obeying the Langmuir isotherm to be the main modeof action. The FTIR results indicated the presence of inhibitor molecules to formation protectivelayer on the surface of mild steel. Theoretical findings show that the most stable states ofcompound/iron system are via the molecular sites containing S atoms, ester groups and aromaticrings. Manuscript profile

        In this work, growth and assembly of the micro polyhedral zinc oxide was performed using airbubble assisted Triton X100, as a templating agent. In absence of air bubbling in the reactionsystem the nano plate zinc oxide was synthesized. The prepared samples were characterized by Xraydiffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and UV-Visspectrophotometer. The optical properties of the samples were evaluated by UV-Vis spectrum.Photocatalytic application of the samples for simultaneous decolorization of methylene blue (MB)and methyl orange (MO) dyes mixture in aqueous solution was examined. The Langmuir-Hinshelwood model for decolorization kinetic data was investigated. The reusability of the samplesafter five consecutive uses was examined. The photocatalytic results indicated that the micropolyhedral zinc oxide is a promising candidate for simultaneous decolorization of the MO and MBdyes (>90%). Manuscript profile

        In the paper, in order to pre-concentrate and measure the low values of Cu ions, the new, simple,quick and very sensitive method of Dispersed Liquid-Liquid Micro Extraction (DLLME) coupledwith flame Atomic Absorption spectrometry (AA) has been utilized. The DLLME techniquecoupled with AA )AA-DLLME) was run inside one narrow tube which constitute aqueous samples.In this method, a mixture of toluene and methanol 90:10 (v/v) was injected into the aqueous sampleas extractor and disperser agent and then Cu and diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) complex wasconcentrated inside the toluene and was collected on the sample solution. In order to optimize thefactors affecting on the process, different parameters affected on the Cu extraction such as kind andvolume of extractor, volume of dispersing solvent, pH of sample solution, ligand concentration,time for bubble formation and salt effect were studied. Under optimal condition, limit of detection(LOD), relative standard deviation (RSD) and limit of linearity (LOL) for calibration curve weremeasured and were obtained as: 1.2 μg.l-1, 3.64% and 0.01-1 mg.l-1, respectively. This method wassuccessfully applied to determine Cu in environmental waters, milk powder, liquid milk and orangejuice. Manuscript profile

        In this research, novel conductive nanocomposites containing urethane acrylate (UA) andpolyaniline/copper (II) oxide nanocomposites (PANi-CuO) were synthesized. At firstpolyaniline/CuO nanocomposites with different amount of CuOnanoparticleswere prepared bychemical oxidationpolymerization of aniline using ammonium peroxydisulfate as an oxidizingagent. Afterward, UA-PANi-CuO nanocomposites were mixed and then cured by ultravioletirradiation. Analytical tests (FTIR and UV–vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction) approved chemicalstructure of synthesized materials. The SEM images of the nanocomposites showed uniformdistribution of CuO nanoparticles in PANi matrix and UA-PANi-CuO in urethane acrylate matrix.Electrical conductivity measurements of PANi-CuO nanocomposites revealed that the conductivityof PANi decreased with adding content of CuO nanoparticles, also the conductivity of UAincreased with adding PANi-CuO.

        In this study, 2-aminobenzoic acid (ABA) has been used as complexing ligand for simultaneousdetermination of metal ions by adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry (AdCSV), for the firsttime. Thus, a selective and sensitive procedure was presented for simultaneous determination oflead, cadmium and nickel using ABA and differential pulse-adsorptive cathodic strippingvoltammetry (DP-AdCSV). The method was based on adsorptive accumulation of the complexes ofPb(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) ions with ABA onto hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE), followedby reduction of adsorbed species by differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetry. The effect ofexperimental parameters such as pH, ABA concentration, accumulation time and potentialand scanrate on the electrode response was examined. Under the optimized conditions, linear calibrationcurves were established for the concentration of Pb(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) in the ranges of 5-150, 5-120 and 5-150 ng mL-1, respectively. Detection limits of 1.78, 2.26 and 1.78 ng mL-1 were obtainedfor Pb(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II), respectively. An application of the proposed method was reported fordetermination of these elements in tap water and industrial waste water of as real samples. Manuscript profile
