  The overall aim of this study was to investigate the effect of microwave radiation treatment on chemical oxygen demand, color and nutrients in the industrial wastewater in Bursa, Turkey without by products in the optimum time, according to the standard method. The results show that during microwave radiation with a power of 900 watts, the efficiency of removal of 79% chemical oxygen demand, 23.55% color, 65% phosphorus and 95% ammonium nitrate with sampling at 0, 60, 120, 150, 180, 240420,360,300, s. The power consumption is also 30.8 watts, 164 watts, 143.5 watts and 102.5 watts, respectively. After five minutes of microwave irradiation, the removal efficiency of over 50% for nutrients and chemical oxygen demand is observed, and the lowest removal percentage is related to color with maximum energy consumption.

  In this study, the synthesis and application of bimetallic nickel-copper nanocomposites and reduction of graphene oxide simultaneously using microwaves are reported. The proposed synthesis method is a simple, fast and controllable process. The electrochemical behavior of the synthesized catalyst was investigated for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in alkaline medium. The effect of melamine on the electrocatalytic activity of the synthesized catalyst was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. Also, investigating the effect of melamine as a source of nitrogen leading to nitrogen doping in the reduced graphene oxide network showed that it partially leads to the formation of NiCu-N structures. And this metal-N bond increases the catalytic activity towards MOR. The promoting effect of melamine was proved by an increase of 203 μA in the current and a decrease of 20 mV in the onset potential compared to other synthesized control catalysts during MOR activity. The results indicate the excellent performance of the synthesized catalyst as an anode in a direct methanol fuel cell. Manuscript profile
