In this study, the synthesis of a novel arginine-functionalized polyaniline/FeOOH (Arg-PANI@FeOOH) composite for hazardous Hexavalent chromium ions (Cr(VI)) removal from wastewater was reported. The SEM, EDS, FTIR, XRD, and PZC measurements were used to characterize the as-developed Arg-PANI@FeOOH composite. Batch adsorption experiments were used to investigate the influence of pH, temperature, contact time, Arg-PANI@FeOOH amount, initial Cr(VI) concentration and coexisting ions on the efficiency of Cr(VI) removal. The Cr(VI) adsorption was much more advantageous at lower pH values, reflecting that the electrostatic interactions were the main driving forces that govern Cr(VI) binding mechanism on the Arg-PANI@FeOOH surface. The experimental data showed good fitness to the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm. The Cr(VI) species highest monolayer coverage capacity onto Arg-PANI@FeOOH was 682.30 mg g−1. The adsorption of Cr(VI) onto the Arg-PANI@FeOOH is spontaneous via an endothermic reaction. The competing anions were not affected the Cr(VI) adsorption, demonstrating that the Arg-PANI@FeOOH selectively adsorb Cr(VI) ions. The developed Arg-PANI@FeOOH material demonstrated good reusability up to five regeneration cycles. The process capability to predict the practical aptitude of Arg-PANI@FeOOH adsorbent to remove Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions was successfully applied. As a result, the adsorption of Cr(VI) onto Arg-PANI@FeOOH composite is a capable process for full-scale wastewater purification purposes. This paper provides relevant findings for a polyaniline-based adsorbent for the efficient removal of Cr(VI) from wastewater.

Synthesis and photoluminescence of ultra-pure germanium nanoparticles
Chivas, R.; Yerci, Selçuk; Li, R.; Dal Negro, L.; Morse, T. F. (2011-09-01)
We have used aerosol deposition to synthesize defect and micro-strain free, ultra-pure germanium nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy images show a core-shell configuration with highly crystalline core material. Powder X-ray diffraction measurements verify the presence of highly pure, nano-scale germanium with average crystallite size of 30 nm and micro-strain of 0.058%. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrates that GeOx (x <= 2) shells cover the surfaces of the nanoparticles. Under optical ...
Synthesis and characterization of copolymers of diisocyanates and dialcohol
Keskin, Selda; Usanmaz, Ali; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2008)
This study was aimed to synthesize low molecular weight hydroxyl terminated polyurethane acrylate polymers that can be used in biomedical applications. Acrylate end capping via inter-esterification reaction was successfully achieved with the methacryloyl chloride addition to the hydroxyl ends of the polyurethane at low temperatures. Isocyanate terminated polyurethane acrylates were also synthesized for the sake of comparison. TDI, HDI and MDI were used as diisocyanates for urethane synthesis and they were e...

Lithium triborate (LiB(3)O(5)) was synthesized by high temperature solid-state reaction method, and then rare earth oxides were doped into LiB(3)O(5) to enhance its thermoluminescent (TL) properties. The identification and characteristics of the obtained compounds were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses, differential thermal analyses (DTA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The glow curves were obtained using a thermoluminescent (TL) reader. The results re...
