Photocatalytic titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were synthesized via acid assisted sol-gel process. The effects of different acids namely; acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid on the formation of TiO2 nanoparticles and their photocatalytic properties were investigated. XRD, SEM, and UV-Vis spectrophotometer analyses were performed to examine the physical and chemical characteristics of the nano powders. The results showed that only anatase phase of TiO2nanoparticleswith different crystallite size and morphology weresynthesized with respect tothe kinds of acid and the procedure applied. The TiO2 powder synthesized from HCl exhibited highest photocatalytic activity, and its methylene blue photodegradation efficiency was 98.1% in 90 minUV irradiation. Index of Terms: TiO2 powder, Photocatalytic activity, Sol-gel process, Acid effect.

Preparation and characterization of ni-nitrilotriacetic acid bearing Poly(Methacrylic acid) coated superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles TURAL, Bilsen; KAYA, Murat; Özkan, Necati; Volkan, Mürvet (2008-02-01) Stable superparamagnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were synthesized via co-precipitation in the presence of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) in aqueous solution. The polymer coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) techniques. These measurements reveal the presence of magnetite nanoparticles with a size of approximately 8 nm inside...
Synthesis of g-C3N4/TiO2 heterojunction composites with enhanced solar light photocatalytic activity Gündoğmuş, Peli; Öztürk, Abdullah; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020) The solar light sensitive g-C3N4/TiO2 composites containing various amounts of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and titania (TiO2) were prepared by the hydrothermal and sol-gel processes for photocatalytic applications. Hydrothermally derived g-C3N4/TiO2 composites were subjected to regulated heat treatments at temperatures ranging from 350 to 500 oC for 1 h to improve their photocatalytic efficiency. Particle size, crystal structure, morphology, and optical properties of the g-C3N4/TiO2 nanocomposites wer...
Removal of hexavalent chromium anions via polymer enhanced ultrafiltration using a fully ionized polyelectrolyte HAKTANIR, CEREN; Ozbelge, H. Onder; Bicak, Niyazi; Yılmaz, Levent (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01) A fully ionized polyelectrolyte was synthesized for Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solutions by continuous polymer enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF). Effect of operating parameters such as pH, loading, polymer, and competing ion concentrations were examined. Highest Cr(VI) retention was obtained at a loading of 0.01 at pH 4. Increasing both polymer and chromate concentrations at a fixed loading of 0.01 decreased the retention which demonstrated the effect of crowding. In the presence of competing anions such as ...
Synthesis and characterization of polypyrrole nanoparticles and their nanocomposites with polypropylene Baytekin, Sevil; Küçükyavuz, Zuhal; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2009) Conducting polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles were synthesized via microemulsion polymerization system. The characterization of PPy nanoparticles was done by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Nanocomposites were prepared by melt-mixing of polypyrrole with polypropylene (PP) and processed with injection molding. The amount of PPy in nanocomposites varied in the range of 1-20% by weight. The effect of PPy nanoparticles on mechanical, electrical properties and ...
