Zebarjad, Hossein Rahmani","doi":"10.2174/2211334711306010006","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2174/2211334711306010006","url":null,"abstract":"Nanocrystalline films of TiO2 and TiO2:SiO2 with high photocatalytic activity were prepared on glass sub- strates by the application of sol-gel method. Then the films were subjected to a high temperature treatment at 500˚C, which resulted in growth of TiO2 crystals. Afterwards the TiO2:SiO2 films were in contact with an aqueous solution (10 mg.L -1 ) of methyl orange (MO) and irradiated under UV. The resulted films showed a high photocatalytic activity. In the current study the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 crystals was studied by an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). This was achieved by predicting the concentration of MO in various values of SiO2 concentration and time of degradation. In order to perform the modeling, Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) network was used in this work, with its learning algorithm being Levenberg-Marquardt (LM). The outcome of modeling showed that there was an excellent agreement between the results of simulation and the data obtained from the experiments. It is worth noting that in the current work, the methods applied in recent papers and patents for the preparation of nanocrystalline films and determination of their photocatalytic perform- ance and also modeling of such processes have been studied.","PeriodicalId":20833,"journal":{"name":"Recent Innovations in Chemical Engineering (Formerly Recent Patents on Chemical Engineering)","volume":"8 1","pages":"68-74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85224562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterisation of BaZr(CoMn)0.5Fe10O19 powder by coprecipitation method. The solvent and preheating effects were investigated. The synthesised powders were characterised with X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer. The experimental results indicated that the powders prepared with the water as solvent exhibits high coercivity of 1.30 kOe and a high saturation magnetisation of 38.65 emu g–1, while the powder prepared with the powder prepared with the water/ethanol solvent exhibits low coercivity of 1.01 kOe and a low saturation magnetization of 34.25 emu g–1, at applied field of 30 kOe. The preheating at 400°C also led to some changes in particle morphology and magnetic property for both powders.","PeriodicalId":20833,"journal":{"name":"Recent Innovations in Chemical Engineering (Formerly Recent Patents on Chemical Engineering)","volume":"2 1","pages":"214-219"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81580715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
