Titanium nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical vapor condensation (CVC) process. Titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) as titanium’s precursor reacted with potassium as reductant, in vapor phase and the products were titanium nanoparticles encapsulated in potassium chloride. Dried Argon gas was employed as carrier gas. Resulting powders gathered in ethanol bath. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic adsorption spectroscopy (AAS) analysis were used to characterizing the products. The effect of Argon gas flow on nanoparticles size was investigated in this research. The particle size decreases with increasing Argon gas flow. The size of nanoparticles was under... 

Isopropanol purifying denotes dehydration of it to utilize in industries become important these days. Conventional process like distillation could not produce this product in high purity. Using membrane-based process, pervaporation, to dehydrate Isopropanol and other organic compound has been noticed in the last years. Among all type of membranes to dehydrate alcohols, poly (vinyl alcohol) is more effective due to its high hydrophilic characteristic. But it swallows in aqueous solutions and decrease its selectivity. To enhance structural and separation properties Chitosan, TiO2 and glurataldehyde added to polymeric membranes. Nine membranes have been made in this study that can be grouped in... 

Ag / AgCl /TiO2 , 2 Ap / Ag / AgCl /TiO , 2 AgI /TiO and 2 Ap / AgI /TiO were prepared by the deposition-precipitation method on 2TiO (P25) nanoparticles and their photocatalyctic activities have been investigated under visible light and dark environments. Cationic surfactant plus 2 PVPI (topical solution and dry powder) as an iodine ion source and nonionic surfactant plus KI as an iodide ion source were used to prepar 2 AgI /TiO . In less than 30 minutes, 2 AgI /TiO which has been resulted from combination of cationic surfactant and 2 PVPI showed high efficiency on Escherichia coli under visible light when small quantities of it is used . However, AgCl sample prepared with cationic... 

Liquid-liquid extraction is one of the common chemical processes in the industry which its application is increasing day by day. Taking trend of increase of energy resources, chemical materials and industrial system into account, the necessity use of least energy consumption and material for achieving highest output and purity of products in different industries is attracted researches and industerialists.In this research we have studied the effect of presence of nano particles on both disperses and continuous liquids phases on hydrodynamic of deoplets specially their investigated system in this project was watter, toluene and acetone, and chosen nanoparticles wer carbon nanotubes and TiO2.... 

In this project during 2 sections the synthesis and application of nanomaterials based on carbon nanotubes and graphene oxide for immobilization of Glucose oxide and Horseradish peroxidase enzymes for construction of effective biosensors were investigated. In section 1, we introduce a new nanomaterial in which TiO2-coated carbon nanotubes were functionalized with amine groups (NH2-TiO2-CNTs). This nanomaterial was fixed on a glassy carbon electrode surface and then its ability for direct electron transfer of Glucose oxidase (GOx) and Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on the modified electrode was investigated. The direct electrochemistry of immobilized GOx and its electron transfer parameters at... 

Nickel-titanium nanoparticles showing shape memory properties at nanoscale, have recently attracted much attention as nanoactuators in the field of nano-electro-mechanical systems. So, spark discharge method was utilized in this study for synthesis of NiTi nanoparticles. First step was to design and build a suitable set-up for synthesis of nanoparticles with high qualities at a high production rate. Nextly, NiTi nanoparticles were synthesized from prealloyed electrodes at a positive pressure and were characterized by the EDS, XRD, SEM and DSC methods. The obtained product was as agglomerated nanoparticles having sizes of around 40nm with primary particle size of <10nm. Chemical composition...
