The increase in the amount of wastewater containing organic pollutants in various industrial processes creates serious problems for the environment. Sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation process (AOP) is an effective route to remove pollutants from wastewater. However, designing a new nano-based catalyst to generate sulfate radicals is an import...

Nanofluids were prepared by dispersing dodecanethiol-coated copper nanoparticles (~ 50 nm average diameter) in toluene. The stability and thermal conductivity of the nanofluids were investigated for various particle volume concentrations (0.09–1.5 vol%) and temperatures (293–333 K). The amount of dodecanethiol surfactant coated on the nanoparticle ...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been recognized as promising adsorbents for carbon capture due to their ultrahigh surface areas and tunable properties. However, a majority of MOFs have strict requirements for preparation and high mass transfer resistance that limits the gas separation time. In order to improve the applicability of MOFs to prac...

The present investigation concentrates on the reduction of NOx emissions, the indirect greenhouse gases, which generate ozone by reacting with the atmosphere. A series of composite catalytic support (TiO2-CNTs) with a constant TiO2-CNT ratio prepared by precipitation method was utilized to synthesize Fe-modified V2O5/TiO2-CNT catalyst for selective...
