The sol-gel and PVCmembrane electrodes exhibited linear response with Nernstian slopes of 29.3 and 28.4 mV perdecade, respectively, within the vanadyl ion concentration ranges from 1.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-1mol dm-3 and from 1.0 × 10-5 to 1.0 × 10-1 mol dm-3 for sol-gel and PVC membrane sensors.The PVC-based and sol-gel electrodes show detection limits of 3.1 × 10-6 and 4.9 × 10-7 mol dm-3, respectively, and also response time of about 15 s to achieve a 95% steady potential for VO2+concentration. By testing the stability lifetimes of the electrodes over a six-month period, nosignificant change was observed in the performance of the sol-gel electrode, however, the PVCbasedvanadyl-selective electrode exhibited a gradual decrease in the slope after two months.Investigating the influence of membrane composition, the pH of the test solution, and theinterfering ions on the electrodes performance revealed good selectivity of electrodes for a numberof alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metal ions. The determined isothermal temperaturecoefficients of these electrodes showed a better thermal stability of sol-gel electrode rather thanthat of the PVC-based vanadyl-selective electrode, however, the electrodes performance isdeteriorated by temperatures higher than 50 °C. پرونده مقاله -

The prepared photo-catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micrographs (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). A complete and effective photocatalytic degradation of a cationic aromatic dye, Methylene blue, in aqueous solutions has been carried out using nanocomposite of Ag/TiO2 and nanocrystalline TiO2 under UV-C light irradiation. Experiments were conducted to compare the photocatalytic activities of nanocomposite Ag/TiO2 with nanocrystalline TiO2 . The photoreactions were followed by monitoring the degradation of the dye as a function of irradiation time, in the presence of the nanophoto-catalysts, by the visible/ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy. It has been found that the presence of silver in TiO2 nanoparticles reduces the duration of complete photocatalytic degradation of Methylene blue by 20% due to the enhancement of electron-hole separation by the electron trapping of silver particles. پرونده مقاله -

The sol-gel process was applied for the preparation of nano silica gel. This method is hydrolysis and condensation reactions of TEOS as precursor of silica. The optimal synthesis conditions for the preparation of silica nanoparticles were obtained and the produced silica nanoparticles were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicated that the silica nanoparticles were successfully formed. The prepared samples change from amorphous to α-crystallite phase. The XRD analysis indicated the amorphous structure of the synthesized silica nanoparticles while the SEM and TEM images exhibited monodispersedNano sized silica particles with a size about 34 nm. In this study, the soft process of sol-gel reaction is favourable from a view point of energy conservation. Additionally, the advantages of this technique were the purity of products and ability to control nanometer sized internal structure. پرونده مقاله -

The magnetic nanocomposites have been prepared by simple sol-gel auto-combustion method. The morphology and structure of nano-samples were determined by FTIR, XRD and FESEM . The results of the XRD pattern confirmed P63/mmc space group and the single phase of the synthesized samples. The crystal size of the prepared samples decreases with increasing Al and Cr.The magnetic properties of these compounds are determined by the VSM. Magnetic properties (Mr, Ms and Hc) were measured. The result showed that Mr and Ms decrease with the increase of Al and Cr. پرونده مقاله -

Silica gel (SiO2) is a polar absorbent which is mainly used to separate polar compounds. Also, the carbon materials such as activated carbon and recently carbon nanotube (CNTs), have been widely used for separation of nonpolar materials. Carbon nanotubes are nanosized carbon-based sorbents that have a high surface area and a large aspect ratio and are known to be stable at high temperatures. It is, therefore, conceivable to use of their unique properties in gas chromatography.

Choosing an adsorbent for performing this separation is the most important part of the process. Silica gel is used as an adsorbent is various techniques such as pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and gas and liquid chromatography. Due to the polarity of silica gel, it is used for the separation of polar molecules. Carbon materials such as activated carbon and recently carbon nanotube (CNTs) are widely used for the separation of nonpolar materials. In the course of this study, a new composite was fabricated using sol-gel methods. Multiwall carbon nanotubes (non-polar carbon-based adsorbents with high surface areas) were mixed with a silica gel base (a strong polar adsorbent). The composite was then used in the separation of mixtures of both aromatic hydrocarbons and alcohols. پرونده مقاله -

Carbon nanotubes are nanosized carbon-based sorbents that have a high surface area and a large aspect ratio and are known to be stable at high temperatures. It is, therefore, conceivable to use of their unique properties in gas chromatography. Optimization of gas chromatography with modified and unmodified columns was investigated by full factorial design. According to the results of proposed design, the temperature, flow rate and carrier gas are known to be important factors affecting performance. In this work, a MWCNT-Silica gel nanocomposite was prepared by Sol-Gel process and it was used as stationary phase in gas chromatography for separation of alkanes mixture. In first part, ability of silica gel adsorbent was studied and then results were compared with new MWCNT-Silica gel nanocomposite. Finally, a quantitative investigation was done on a LPG sample and propane, 2-methylpropane, n-butane, 2,2-dimethylpropane, 2-methylbutane and n-pentane were measured by standard addition. Finally, the greatest difference between the response profiles in modified and unmodified column was determined. پرونده مقاله
