The results showed that the removal efficiency and adsorption capacity of nano particlesincreased with increasing initial concentration. Among adsorption kinetic models, pseudo second order model was better fitted for experimental data (R2=0.99-1.00). The adsorption data were well fitted with Langmuir model compared to Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich models. Maximum mono layer adsorption (qmax) of Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn were obtained 218, 239, 242 and 215 mg g-1 for nano zero valent iron and 90, 176, 100 and 76 for nano copper oxide respectively. The sorption energy parameter (E) of Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm and Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) indicated that the metals adsorption processes were physical and spontaneous. The separation factor of Langmuir (RL) indicated that the sorption reactions of metals by the nano particles is favorable (RL=0.03-0.50). Manuscript profile -

Method: 82 carp with an average weight of 42 ± 2 g was prepared and after adaptation for the laboratory condition, were exposed at 42 days at three treatments (10, 40, 80 ppm) and three replicates respectively, also a control group were prepared with three replications under the affect of sub-lethal concentrations of copper oxide nanoparticles. Findings: Analysis of growth indices showed that all growth indices had significantly different (P<0/05) with metal treatments in compared to the control group. So the control group had the highest average body weight, percent of body weight, SGR rate, and feed conversion efficiency with averaging 2.93. The lowest specific growth rate and the highest rate of conversion were related to the treatment number three (80 ppm), respectively. The amount of ash, fat, protein and maximum moisture was observed at the control group. The highest percentage of protein and fat was at treatment (3) and concentration of 80 milligrams per litre of copper oxide nanoparticles that in this regard showed significant differences (P<0.05) with the control group. Discussion and Conclusion: The results indicate that the presence of copper oxide nanoparticles in aquatic ecosystems have negative effects on growth and biochemical composition of fish carcasses even at sub-lethal concentrations, that by increasing the concentration of the nanoparticles in aquatic ecosystems, the influence of these effects will become clearer.

In the present study, CuO Nps was synthesized using chemical methods and its antimicrobial activity was investigated. Materials and Methods: Copper oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using the microwave method, and XRD, EDX, SEM, FTIR, and UV-vis analyses were performed to investigate the physical and chemical properties. The antimicrobial and antifungal effects of copper oxide nanoparticles on pathogenic bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Fusarium solani were evaluated using MIC and MBC tests and well diffusion assay. Results: The results showed that at a concentration of 20 mg/mL, copper oxide nanoparticles inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. Similarly, growth inhibition of Escherichia coli was observed at a concentration of 4 mg/mL of nanoparticles. Furthermore, Fusarium solani exhibited increased sensitivity to copper oxide nanoparticles at concentrations higher than 50 mg/mL, with a growth inhibition zone diameter of 18 mm at a concentration of 100 mg/mL. Discussion and Conclusion: Copper oxide nanoparticles can be introduced as a strong antimicrobial agent. Manuscript profile -

The aim of this study was to investigate pathological alterations of gill tissue in common carp during exposure to different nanoparticles. For this study, 210 fry common carp with a total length of 7.36±0.30 cm and goldfish with a total length of 6.50±0.43 cm in 6 treatments with 3 replicates in each treatment were placed in 60 liter aquariums in groups of 11 individuals. Gill tissue samples of common carp and goldfish were taken 7 days after exposure to 50% lethal concentration of nano-zinc oxide, nano copper oxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Histological changes were evident in samples exposed to nano-zinc oxide, nano copper oxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles while no detectable changes were observed in control gill. The symptoms observed in both fish consisted of gill hyperplasia, adhesion of secondary lamellae, increased levels of mucus and hyperemia. The most common complication observed was gill hyperplasia and an increase in the amount of mucus. The results of this study indicate that 50% lethal concentration of nanoparticles of titanium, copper and zinc can cause tissue damage and destruction. Also, sub-lethal toxicity of nano-zinc oxide is higher than nano copper oxide and nano titanium dioxide and causes much wider effects on gill tissue of common carp and goldfish. Manuscript profile -

In this study, the green synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles from the extract of Iranian violent flower and its anti-bacterial properties compared to two common antibiotics was investigated. First, aqueous extract of Iranian violent flower prepared and admixed with CuO solution at a concentration of 1 mM. After changing the color of extract, the reaction product was examined by spectrophotometric and X-ray diffraction. Finally, antibacterial properties of synthesized nanoparticles were investigated using disk diffusion method. Also, the MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration of growth and MBC (minimum bactericidal concentration) were determined by two methods of micro dilution and dilution in the tube. The synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles showed the most absorbance at 266 nm and had a spherical shape with an average size of 50-80 nm. The results of the antibacterial studies showed that the synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles had more antibacterial activity against staphylococcus aureus than Escherichia coli. The extract of Iranian violent flower has the ability of reducing CuO ion to copper oxide nanoparticles. Also, synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles have good antibacterial activities.

Therefore, it is necessary to remove them from water sources. There are many ways to remove nitrate from water. Among the simple ones, removal with adsorbents such as zeolites can be mentioned. In this research, particles of copper oxide/iron oxide were loaded on the Miyaneh clinoptilolite zeolite. The physical and chemical properties of prepared nanosorbents were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS), and specific surface area measurement by BET method. After choosing the appropriate adsorbent, The effects of operating parameters such as pollutant concentration, adsorbent dose, and solution pH on the removal efficiency were investigated. The highest nitrate adsorption efficiency was obtained on clinoptilolite zeolite loaded with 5% copper oxide at pH around 4-9, at low nitrate concentrations, and adsorbent dose of 15 mg/l.

Copper and zinc oxides were coated by synthesized compounds and were tested for antibacterial activity. All compounds were identified by NMR and FTIR spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and elemental analysis. Scanning Electron Microscope SEM was used for the morphology of micro metal oxides before and after coating with Sulfonamide-Schiff bases compounds. Accordingly, antibacterial activity of compounds against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus saprophyticus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Proteus mirabilis) were tested. It should be noted that both have high antimicrobial activities. The result of the study shows that the antibacterial activities of the synthesized sulfonamide-schiff bases against gram positive and gram negative bacteria decrease after coating on micro metal oxides. It is also worth mentioning that Ampicilin and Penicilin have been utilized as two standard medicines for investigating the antibacterial activities. Manuscript profile -
