Supported Ru and Pt nanoparticles were synthesized by the method of strong electrostatic adsorption and subsequently treated to achieve a series of catalysts with particle sizes ranging from 1 to 8 nm. This methodology allows the control of particle size applicable to high surface area supports with common metal precursors.

Background: Nanoparticles made of silica are new materials that can be used in a wide range of drug delivery methods because they are biocompatible and biodegradable. Mesalamine, a classic water-soluble medication, remains loaded into the synthesized silica nanoparticle and is considered for sustained release proficiency. Precipitation approach using high surface area and pore volume tetraethyl orthosilicate yielded mesalamine-loaded silica nanoparticles. Methods: The drug-loaded nanoparticle was created and produced using two different techniques. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray powder diffraction, Brauer Emmett teller, scanning electron microscopy, particle size measurements, and dissolution investigations have all been used to analyse the substance in some way or another. Results: Because of the high surface area, well-known results like the complete silica nanoparticle created using method-2 remained mesoporous. The onset peak of the method-2 formulation's DSC was 182.27°c, and the offset peak was 192.14°c, consistent with the DSC results. The particle size range varies from 205-225nm. The results demonstrate that the uptake of the mesalamine by burst release it for 30 minutes initial, followed by sustained maintenance of dose even after 240 minutes. The results indicate that the loading process has an effect on the extent of loading. When silica nanoparticles were impregnated with mesalamine, the amount of the drug contained was significantly higher than when they were wetted. Conclusion: In addition, the XRD results show that both the pure mesalamine and the formulation did not show any polymorphic deviation.

Hydrothermal reactions represent a simple and efficient method for the preparation of nanostructured TiO2 particles that could be of interest as photocatalysts or catalytic supports. Although the particle size is in the range of 2–5 µm, the nanostructures composing the particles ensure a large specific surface area with values above 100 m2/g. The effects of the different synthesis parameters on the morphology, photocatalytic activity, and stability of the prepared material were studied. The surface morphology of the prepared TiO2 powders was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To further characterize the samples, the specific surface area for different morphologies was measured and the photocatalytic activity of the prepared powders was tested by degrading model pollutants under UV irradiation. The results show that the initial morphology had little effect on the photocatalytic properties. On the other hand, the final calcination temperature significantly increased the degradation rates, making it comparable to that of P25 TiO2 (particle size 20–30 nm).

Titanium dioxide photocatalysed water disinfection is induced by the interaction of light with TiO2, which generates highly reactive free hydroxyl radicals (OH•). These free radicals create lethal damage that leads to bacterial death. Normally, decreasing TiO2 particle size increases the area of light interaction. This may possibly increase the concentration of OH• generated and hence increases disinfection efficiency. Moreover, decreasing the particle size increases the force of attraction between the particles and cells, which could create aggregates that may contribute to the local OH• concentration. In the present investigation cells of Escherichia coli were used as the test microorganism, TiO2 as the photocatalyst and sunlight as the light source. Four different surface areas of TiO2 particles corresponding to 10, 50, 80–100 and ≥300 m2 g−1 were tested at a concentration of 1 g l−1. Disinfection efficiency increased with increasing the surface area producing a maximum between 80–100 m2 g−1 followed by a reduction at ≥300 m2 g−1. The reduction in the efficiency at this relatively high surface area was attributed to the increase in the local concentration of OH•. This increase may be high enough to initiate radical-radical interaction that would compete with bacterial cells and reduce the chance of bacterial cell-radical interaction taking place. Moreover, the phenomenon of TiO2 aggregation with bacterial cells plays an important role, and the extent of aggregation increases with decreasing particle size. Such aggregation could augment the concentration of OH• within the cell vicinity. This suggests that surface area is a key factor in determining the efficiency of disinfection, and that concentration is a vital factor.

ABSTRACTThe structure and surface properties of composites based upon high-surface-area framework zirconium phosphates with supported WO3, MoO3 and Pt nanoparticles were studied by using combination of structural and spectral methods. The effect of these promoters on performance of zirconium phosphates in the reaction of pentane and hexane isomerization is considered.
