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... 

Apatite-coated Ag/AgBr/TiO2 was prepared by deposition of Ag as noble metal to generate electron-hole pairs by extending the excitation wavelength to visible light region, AgBr as photo-sensitizer to increasing yield of photo catalyst, and apatite as adsorption bio ceramic for adsorbing pollutants and micro organisms respectively. The bactericidal experiments in dark media indicated that only novel catalyst show inhibiting growth of bacteria. In this case Transmission electron microscopy image illustrated that catalyst nano particles adhere to the outer membrane of the cell and acts as inhibitor to nourish of bacteria from around media. The mechanism for deactivation E-Coli and B.Sub in the... 

Nanophotocatalysts containing metal oxides and oxy-acids based on the nanoporous materials such as graphene, metal-organic-frameworks and carbon nano tubes were synthesized. The photocatalytic properties of the prepared samples were evaluated by the photodegradation of different pollutants in the suspension and emulsion photocatalytic systems. This study demonstrates a new kind of photocatalytic system via utilization of the superior specific properties inherent in Pickering emulsion. We designed the new photocatalytic system using a photocatalytic active component and hydrophobic conducting nanostructures to form the stabilized Pickering emulsion (Pe-bp system). The results revealed that... 

Nowadays, apatite mineral is one of the most sought for the recovery of rare earth elements. This mineral is also the main source of phosphoric acid production. To achieve this end, apatite has to react with sulfuric acid to give phosphoric acid. This process is called the wet process. During the wet process, more rare elements enter the remaining solids called phosphogypsum (PG). For the dissolution of rare elements, PG, which is the same as chalk, can be leach with an acidic solution. In this project, the phosphate concentrate from Chadormalu iron ore waste after characteristics diagnosis is digested in concentrated sulfuric acid at temperatures below 100 ° C, and then hydration is...
