Separation of trace amounts of Ga and Ge in aqueous solution using nano-particles micro-column

A simple and rapid analytical method for the separation of trace amounts of gallium and germanium from aqueous solution by solid-phase extraction with nano-particles was developed. It was found that only Ga(III) could be quantitatively retained on nano-SiO₂ in the pH range of 3-4 and 8-12 while Ge(IV) was not adsorbed, but both Ga(III) and Ge(IV) ions could be adsorbed quantitatively on nano-TiO₂ within the pH range of 4-11. These two ions adsorbed by nano-particles could be desorbed quantitatively. Effects of acidity, concentration of elution solution and interfering ions on the recovery of the analytes were systematically investigated. The sorption data could be well interpreted by the Langmuir model. Based on the Langmuir model equation, the monolayer adsorption capacity of nano-SiO₂/nano-TiO₂ was calculated to be 4.26 mg g⁻¹/19.68 mg g⁻¹ for Ga(III)/Ge(IV). Moreover, thermodynamic functions, the change of free energy (ΔG⁰), enthalpy (ΔH⁰) and entropy (ΔS⁰) of the adsorption reaction were estimated for each metal ion. Experimental data were also evaluated in terms of kinetic characteristics of adsorption and the adsorption process for both metal ions followed well pseudo-second-order kinetics. Finally, the proposed method was applied to the determination of trace Ga(III) and Ge(IV) in some water samples using loaded nano-particles columns, and it is found that the recoveries of Ga(III) and Ge(IV) were obtained to be in the range of 96.4-105.0%. And the method was validated with certified reference material (GBW07311, GBW 07406) and the values obtained for Ga(III) and Ge(IV) were in good agreement with the certified values.     

A novel strategy for producing nano-particles from date seeds and enhancing their phenolic content and antioxidant properties using ultrasound-assisted extraction: A multivariate based optimization study

Date seeds from the date palm fruit are considered as a waste and they are known to contain several bioactive compounds. Producing nanoparticles from the date seeds can enhances their effectiveness and their utilization as novel functional food ingredients. In this study, date seed nanoparticles (DSNPs) synthesized using acid (HCl) hydrolysis method (HCl concentration of 38% and hydrolysis time of 4 days) was found to have particle size between 50 and 150 nm. The obtained DSNPs were characterized by measuring particle size and particle charge (Zetasizer), morphology using scanning electron microscope (SEM), and determination of the functional groups using fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). DSNPs were further treated with green extraction technology [ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE)] using water-based and methanol-based solvent for optimizing the extraction of the bioactive compounds by implementing response surface methodology (RSM). The UAE of DSNPs were analysed for set of responses including total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrlthydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity. Three-factor and four-factor Box-Behnken design (BBD) of three models (Synthesis of DSNPs, UAE with water, and UAE with methanol) was performed. The results showed that in UAE of DSNPs using water-based solvent, the key independent factors effecting the TPC and TFC and antioxidant activities were S:L ratio (40:1 mg/ml) and treatment time (9 min). Whereas the methanol-based UAE of DSNPs was mostly affected by US amplitude/power (90%) and methanol concentration (80%). All models were further optimized using response optimizer in Minitab and the generated predicted values were very comparable to the actual obtained results which confirm the significance and validity of all RSM models used. The phenolic compounds identified from DSNPs consisted mainly of 3,4-Dihydroxy benzoic acid, ferulic acid, and p-coumaric acid. The present study demonstrated a successful method for synthesising DSNPs as well as documented the optimum UAE conditions to maximize the extraction of polyphenolic compounds from DSNPs and enhancing their antioxidant activities to be used in food application.     

Temperature measurements of Al containing nano-thermite reactions using multi-wavelength pyrometry

Thermite reactions with nano-scale particles have attracted much study due to their high flame temperatures and combustion velocities. The mechanism by which the reaction propagates is not well understood. The reaction temperature, the heating rate, and the reaction zone thickness are critical parameters to understanding the mechanism. Measurements of the reaction temperature for the Al/CuO, Al/MoO₃, and Al/Fe₂O₃ nano-thermite systems were made using multi-wavelength pyrometry for two experimental configurations. In one experiment, the radiative emission from the reaction of a small, unconfined pile (∼10 mg) of reacting nano-thermite is collected over a 50 ms integration time and the temperature is measured. In a second experiment, the radiative emission was collected from a single spot, with a diameter of 1.5 mm, on a transparent tube filled with the nano-thermite as the combustion wave passes and the spectrum is temporally resolved using a streak tube and detected using an intensified CCD camera. Temperature traces from these experiments show a temperature ramping period followed by a plateau in temperature. For Al/CuO, the average temperature from the unconfined pile experiment was 2390 ± 150 K, and the average plateau temperature for the temporally resolved measurements was approximately 2250 ± 100 K. For Al/MoO₃, the unconfined pile experiment yielded an average temperature of 2150 ± 100 K, and the average plateau temperature was the same. The temperature measured from the Al/Fe₂O₃ unconfined pile experiment was 1735 ± 50 K. The measured temperatures suggest that the gases generated during the reactions are primarily from the decomposition or vaporization of the various metal oxides. Furthermore, for Al/CuO and Al/MoO₃, which can be classified as ‘fast’ nano-thermites, it was shown that the length scale associated with the temperature rise is much longer than classical conduction driven reactions.

Composite electroplating of Cu-SiO2 nano particles on carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites

The main purpose of this work is to co-deposit nano-SiO₂ particles into the copper coatings on carbon fiber reinforced epoxy (C/EP) composite surface by electrodeposition method in order to improve the micro hardness of coatings. C/EP composites are copper plated with sulfuric acid based solution, and the effects of nano-SiO₂ and C₆H₁₂O₆ in the electrolyte contents on the copper coatings are investigated. It is found that crystalline grains of coatings are markedly refined by nano-SiO₂ in the acidic sulfate copper plating bath and the ceramic particles cause an increase in hardness of coatings though nano-SiO₂ results in a decline of deposition rate and a decrease in electrical conductivity of electroplating layers. Otherwise, C₆H₁₂O₆ in the plating bath is indispensable to the layer formation even though nano-SiO₂ added. These results demonstrate that the hardness of coatings will be increased with appropriate contents of co-deposited SiO₂ and C₆H₁₂O₆ in the plating bath.     

Synthesis,Spectroscopic and Antimicrobial Investigations of Scandium(Ⅲ) Complexes with Four Kinds of Sulfa Drugs

Herein,this article was focused on the synthesis and discussed the spectroscopic characterizations of four new scandium(Ⅲ)sulfa-drug complexes.The nomenclature and symbols of these drugs were sulfadimidine(sulp-1),sulfanilamide(sulp-2),sulfamethoxazole(sulp-3)and sulfadiazine(sulp-4).The microanalytical and spectroscopic analyses which utilized in this study were micro-analyses,magnetic,FT-IR,UV-Vis techniques.The mid infrared spectra deduced that the four sulfa-drug chelates acts as a bidentate chelates with scandium(Ⅲ)ion via two nitrogen atoms of-NH2-Ar and-NH-SO2 groups.Also,the FTIR spectra of Sc3+complexes referred to the existed of new medium weak bands in the range of 500~400 cm^-1 due to stretching vibration bands ofν(M-N).The elemental analysis technique confirmed the 1∶2 stoichiometry between Sc3+ions and sulp ligand with molecular formula[Sc(sulp)2(Cl)2]·Cl.At room temperature,the results of magnetic measurements for the Sc(Ⅲ)complexes indicated that all of the synthesized complexes have a diamagnetic character with octahedral configuration.The electronic spectra of the free sulfa-drug ligands shows band at 275 and 310 nm which are intraligand charge transfer band.The electronic sbsorption spectra of the Sc3+complexes were recorded using DMSO solvent.The spectra of complexes display bands within 275~388 nm,which attributed toπ-π*,n-π*and charge-transfer M-LCT electronic transitions,which strongly favors the octahedral geometry around Sc(Ⅲ)metal ions.1HNMR spectra of complexes referred to the downfield proton shifts of the-NH2 and NHSO2 groups,which supported the place of coordination.The half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)of the ScⅢcomplexes was assessed against the human hepato cellular carcinoma(HepG-2)tumor cell line.

Effect of the synthesis route on the structural properties and shape of the indium oxide (In2O3) nano-particles

Nano-crystalline indium oxide (In₂O₃) particles have been synthesized by sol–gel and hydro-thermal techniques. A simple hydro-alcoholic solution consisting indium nitrate hydrate and citric acid (in sol–gel method) and 1, 4-butandiol (in hydro-thermal method) have been utilized. The structural properties of indium oxide nano-powders annealed at 450 °C (for both methods) have been characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and specific surface area (SSA) analysis. Structural analysis of the samples shows cubic phase in sol–gel and cubic-hexagonal phase mixture in hydro-thermally prepared particles. The nano-particles prepared by sol–gel method have nearly spherical shape, whereas hydro-thermally-made ones display wire- and needle-like shape in addition to the spherical shape. The obtained In₂O₃ nano-particles surface areas were 23.2 and 55.3 in sol–gel and hydro-thermal methods, respectively. The optical direct band gap of In₂O₃ nano-particles were determined to be 4.32 and 4.24 eV for sol–gel and hydro-thermal methods, respectively. These values exhibit 0.5 eV blue shift from that the bulk In₂O₃ (3.75 eV), which is related to the particle size reduction and approaching the quantum confinement limit of nano-particles.
