Media effects on nanobrass arc fabrications

Nitrate removal from water using iron nanoparticles produced by arc discharge vs. reduction

“…Recently, we have developed a modified arc discharge technique for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles [38][39][40][41][42]. The advantages of this technique are its cost effectiveness, purity, uniformity, and rather small size of the nanoparticles.…”

Al nanoparticles: Impact of media and current on the arc fabrication

“…Many researchers have employed the arc discharge method [25][26][27][28], yet no report has appeared addressing the current and media effect on Al Nps arc discharge synthesis. Following our studies on a variety of nanomaterials [29][30][31][32][33], here we focus on the size distribution as well as the yield of arc fabricated Al Nps in ethylene glycol (EG), distilled water, liquid nitrogen, gaseous nitrogen, tap water and sunflower oil, at currents of 50, 100 and 150 A/cm 2 .…”

Nano iron oxide with the neural-network morphology

“…In order to obtain the desired morphology, very careful attention was focused on the optimization of current, as well as the length and thickness of the iron rods. Increasing the current and the diameter of iron wires translated into the increases in the size of Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles [1]. The optimum condition to reach the neural network morphology was the application of 100 A on iron wires with 0.03 cm diameters.…”

“…Nanoparticles have attracted considerable attention for their novel physical and chemical properties [1][2][3][4][5]. Many techniques are developed to prepare metal nanoparticles including: Gas-phase chemical reaction [6], spray pyrolysis [7], water-heating reaction [8], laser ablation [9], flame processing [10], vapor deposition [11], microwave plasma synthesis [12], sol-gel method [13], anodic arc plasma [14], and the exploding wire in dense media [15].…”
