Studies on photocatalytic removal of antibiotics, ciprofloxacin and sulfamethoxazole, by Fe3O4-ZnO-Chitosan/Alginate nanocomposite in aqueous systems

Influence of SiO2 Filler Addition on the Types I and II Shear Fracture Toughness of Hemp Fiber-Reinforced Epoxy Mixtures

“…One technique to increase the hardness of the matrices and the fiber-matrix interaction is to add second-stage reinforcements to a matrix. When appropriately blended into the matrices, a tiny quantity of nanoparticles can considerably enhance the bulk characteristics of the material, like composite durability, rigidity, interfacial dimensional stability, mechanical characteristics, electrical characteristics, and thermal characteristics [18,19]. Silicon, nano titanium dioxide, Al 2 O 3 , silicon dioxide, nanoclay, and other forms of second-stage reinforcement are used for matrices alteration in fiber-reinforced composites.…”

Highly efficient adsorption of Sb(iii) and Sb(v) from water using a hybrid functional Zr–Fe metallic oxide composite

“…Among them, iron oxide 28,29 is widely used to remove antimony due to its easy production, low cost, non-toxicity, 30 environmentally friendly nature 31 , abundance and low maintenance cost. 32 In addition to iron oxides, zirconium also shows great potential for adsorption of antimony. 33 a School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, East China University of Science Tetravalent zirconium ions (Zr 4+ ) have abundant d-layer empty orbitals, which makes it easier to bind with ligands than lowvalent metal ions and provide more adsorption sites.…”
