Synthesis of Copper Oxide Nanoparticles using Ultrasound for the Treatment of Textile Organic Dyes (Reactive Black 5 and Basic Blue 3)By Thirugnanasambandam Sivasankar, Sundaram Saravanan
Abstract: This paper describes the ultrasound assisted synthesis of copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles using copper nitrate trihydrate and ammonium carbonate as reactants. The resultant product, copper carbonate was calcined at 400°C which was chosen based on the thermogravimetric analysis of copper carbonate precipitate. The final product CuO nanoparticles characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), particle size analyzer (PSA) and Brunner-Emmet-Teller surface area analyzer (BET) …

Sonophotocatalytic Degradation of Scarlet Red dye using Fe-Bi2O3 Catalyst and its Process Optimization by Response Surface MethodologyBy Thirugnanasambandam Sivasankar, G. Kumaravel Dinesh, Trivendra Singh Gangwar, Sambandam Anandan
Abstract: The catalyst Fe-Bi2O3 was synthesized by ultrasound irradiation and used as a catalyst for the sonophotocatalytic degradation of scarlet red dye. The synthesized catalyst were characterized by SEM, XRD and DRS. SEM image reveals the formation of nanorod structure of the catalyst, XRD reveals the size of the catalysts were in nano range and DRS shows the blue shift in optical absorption for the Fe-Bi2O3 catalyst. The Fe-Bi2O3 was identified …
