Green chemistry is made up of twelve principles, one of which is catalysis. The role of catalysis is to accelerate the reaction by introducing a substance called a catalyst. Because of their high efficiency, productivity, activity, and selectivity, nanocatalysts have recently received many interests. Nanocatalysts are characterized by their high surface area to volume ratio, as well as their nanoscale forms and sizes. One of the significant applications of nanocatalysts is wastewater and wastewater purification. Green and bio-synthesized nanocatalysts could be used efficiently to remove heavy metals, medicinal, organic, and inorganic pollutants from the wastewater systems. This paper reviews nanocatalysts based on noble and magnetic nanocatalysts, as well as metal catalysts supported by organic polymers, and discusses their industrial effluent treatment mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":300463,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Composites and Compounds","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124391441","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}

The sol-gel method is an inexpensive and simple process to prepare drug carriers that can produce particles with a high degree of homogeneity and purity. The process of sol-gel involves hydrolysis, polymerization/condensation of monomers, particle growth, and gel formation. The properties of materials including composition and morphology are affected by several factors and can be controlled by the process parameters. Due to the advantages of this method, it is widely used for drug carriers’ preparation. In this study, the definition and advantages of the sol-gel process are discussed.

Finally, to investigate the tribological and electrochemical behavior of the samples, wear tests (pin-on-disk) and potentiodynamic polarization tests (PDP) were used, respectively. Results showed that by increasing stirring time, both tribological and mechanical behavior of the samples improved. Also, it was found that by increasing the stirring speed of the melt to 180 rpm, the mechanical and tribological behavior of the samples improved, and by further increasing the stirring speed to 300 rpm, they were decreased. Consequently, samples containing lower than 7 wt. % TiB2 showed better metallurgical properties, due to lack of agglomeration.","PeriodicalId":300463,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Composites and Compounds","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131780055","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}

The main objective of the present study is to investigate the potential of Al2O3 coatings deposited by the electrolytic plasma method. Aluminum Series 2 was used in this study, and the electrolyte was composed of sodium silicate, sodium tetraphosphate, sodium aluminate and potassium hydroxide. The results showed that, in general, according to the impedance diagrams, the corrosion resistance of the coated specimens greatly increases with the immersion time. Therefore, the unit of resistance increased on average to about 10 MHz after 72 hours. In the case of pulsed potential application regime, the corrosion behavior of the samples in the working cycle of 30% was better than that of 70%, which can be related to the thickness of the formed coatings and their porosity. This allows the coating to degrade the coating faster by increasing the thickness and decreasing the porosity of the aggressive chloride ion.","PeriodicalId":300463,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Composites and Compounds","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126578048","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}
