Hence, it is very vital to remediate the dye before discharge into water bodies or water treatment systems. Thus, this article demonstrated the removal of cleanup of malachite green (MG)dye from the aquatic phase using ZnO nanopowder. In this work batch adsorption experiments were accomplished as a function of contact time, pH, and initial dye concentration to study the efficiency of ZnO nanopowder on dye removal (MG). The obtained nanopowder was characterized using various techniques XRD, FTIR, SEM and EDX. The results shown that the maximum absorbed value was 233.16 mg / g. The findings show that ZnO nanopowder have fast contact time and initial concentration absorbing characteristics in dye removal. The maximum capacity of sorbent was found to be 246.36 mg. Furthermore, the study revealed that ZnO nanopowder is an effective sorbent for cleanup of malachite green dye in aqueous solution when comparing with other adsorbent materials. The Adsorption and kinetics parameters of the maximum capacity of sorbent and correlation coefficient showed that the data were well fitted the to the Langmuir isotherm R2 of 0.923 models and pseudo-second-order kinetic model with R2 of 0.994 respectively.","PeriodicalId":43605,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optoelectronic and Biomedical Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45715743","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 dose rate distribution of AuNPs in water and breast phantom was calculated using MCNP5 code. For inhomogeneities, cone cells were designed to calculate dose distribution around Ir-192 source in breast and inhomogeneous medium that includes gold nanoparticles at different concentration. Both barometers, the track length energy deposition tally (F6) and pulse height tally (*F8), were used. The result indicated that the F6 is better than *F8 for radiation dose calculation. Angular doses distribution in water was compared with data published for tally F6 and*F8 with the different percentage range of 0.0136 to 0.3019% for tally F6 at the average angle of 5˚and 175˚respectively. For *F8 tally, different percentage range of - 0.0014 to 0.8253 % was obtained at an average angle of 75˚and 5˚ respectively. For breast phantom, the result of the F6 tally with the *F8 tally was compared. The difference in calculations between the two tallies in the angular anisotropic distribution was found to be in the range from 0.0514 to 0.4596% at the average angle of 15 ˚ and 175 ˚ respectively. The obtained results showed that the AuNP dose increases when the concentration increases up to ten percent (100 mg/ml), and then decreases for concentration higher than ten percent. The concentration of AuNPs greater than ten percent is not recommended. The results indicated that tally F6 is a good tool to calculate the effect of inhomogeneities due to breast cancer on brachytherapy.","PeriodicalId":43605,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optoelectronic and Biomedical Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45941641","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 molecular structure of the binary systems NBR + DChDEAST and NBR + DMPhM was determined by Fourier spectroscopy. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to determine the molecular structure of binary composite systems NBR + DChDEAST and NBR + DMPhM. The relative concentration of double bonds was predicted by determining its absorption by the optical density at the maximum absorption (967, 912 and 750 cm-1 ).
