Then, the gels were calcined at 900 °C for 4 hours and the resulted spectra were investigated at 20% (w/w) concentration. Also, the presence of rhombohedral phase of MnTiO 3 in Zeolite-Y matrix was confirmed by XRD, SEM, EDX and BET. The VSM results showed the antiferromagnetic properties for the 20% nanocomposite. The photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposites was finally evaluated by degradation of methylene blue and calcon reagents in aqueous solution.

The resulting nanoparticles were characterized by spectroscopic and microscopic methods, such as X-ray diffraction, SEM, FT-IR, EDX, ICP-AES, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis. In this paper, magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl 2 O 4), used as the supporting catalyst, provides the recycling and reusing the catalyst and also increases the efficiency of the reaction. The nanocomposite was investigated as a catalyst for the selective oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds with hydrogen peroxide as oxidant and water as a solvent. Primary alcohols were converted to aldehydes but secondary alcohols were converted to ketones. Benzylic alcohols have better oxidative reactions than aliphatic alcohols. Among the oxidation reactions of the benzylic alcohols investigated in this project, the oxidation reaction of 1-phenylethanol to acetophenone was more efficient than other reactions (98%). This nanocatalyst is environmentally friendly because it could be recovered by simple filtration. The catalyst was used five times successfully without any changes or loss of its high catalytic activity.

Sinter operation in the temperature range of 1030-1170 °С was performed for 3 hours. Existing phases in composites by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and their structure were examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and while measuring mechanical properties of composites such as flexural strength, hardness and compared fracture toughness with base glass ceramic was performed. Results indicate that adding 2.5 percent micron-sized alumina to wollastonite glass-ceramics decreases the flexural strength from 8.01±120 to 10.26±50 MPa and its fracture ...

The microstructure, morphology, optical band gap, and hydrophilicity of the sample were studied. Optical band gap of titanium dioxide was probed via Diffuse Reflectance Spectra (DRS) and contact angle (CA) was measured to investigate surface activity. XRD analysis was used to study crystallinity of the samples. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was also performed. The results presented high crystallinity of particles with average particle size of ~21nm. Very small nano-particles were obtained (as small as 7nm). The obtained optical band gap of the sample was determined which was 3.35 eV with direct linear fitness in Tauc relation. Contact angle indicated super- hydrophilicity after 40 minutes under UV-Radiation.

With an average grade of 5519 ppm for REEs, the EPD is one of the prominent deposits of the region. In this research, sequential Gaussian simulation (SGS) and concentration-area (C-A) fractal modeling are used to determine concentration anomalies and provide a ∑REEs concentration map based on surface data. The log-ratio matrix is used to investigate the mineralization processes, determining the relationships between the anomalies and the rock units, and validating the results of SGS fractal modeling. The results are indicating that the main anomaly has strong correlation with the apatite-iron, and in particular, with the apatite mineralization, which can be considered as an exploration guide. The results also confirm the efficiency of simultaneous application of frac...

The resultant composite was characterized by different techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, FT-IR, EDX and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. The prepared nanocomposite was used as a catalyst for oxidation of aliphatic alcohols with hydrogen peroxide in water at 90 . Aliphatic alcohols were converted to aldehydes and ketones. Primary alcohols were converted to aldehydes but secondary alcohols were converted to ketones. Cyclohexanol is very active in this catalyst system but no product was detected in cyclohexanol oxidation without catalyst. It is noteworthy to highlight that the catalyst is environmentally friendly since it could be recovered by a simple filtration. The catalyst was reused for at least four successive times without any changes or loss of its high catalytic activity.

The low value residual gold ions existed in acid leaching tail solution in Mouteh gold mine in Iran with fellow heavy metals as pollutants (Fe 2+ , Cu 2+ , and Zn 2+ ). Preparation of nano gold particles is achieved by two steps: First, by addition of ammonia as separation step and second by using the suitable reagents for precipitation and extraction step. Control conditions include pH, residence time, temperature, agitation, molar ratio of reducing agents to reagents. The optimum results show that nano gold powder was prepared by temperature of 250 °C , urea to gold molar ratio of 3:1, and reduction time of 20 min. Also, heat treatment improves dispersion of nano sized gold particles. The properties of gold nano powders were evaluated by SEM, A.A and UV-Vis spectroscopy methods and the size of particles were about 80 to 90 nm.
