Performance of Freshly Generated Magnesium Hydroxide (FGMH) for Reactive Dye Removal
Publication date: January 2019Source: Colloid and Interface Science Communications, Volume 28Author(s): Shiyu Liu, Bing Li, Peishi Qi, Wei Yu, Jianhai Zhao, Yunzhi LiuAbstractCoagulation-flocculation (CF) is an essential process for water and wastewater treatment plants. Whilst compared with the conventional coagulants, the freshly generated magnesium hydroxide (FGMH) is environmental friendly within its coagulative and adsorptive jellied sediment. However, decoloration of dye wastewater using FGMH has not been well understood yet. In this paper, operating variables such as initial pH, coagulant dosage, agitation speed and...

Embedding CuO Nanoparticles in PDMS-SiO2 Coating to Improve Antibacterial Characteristic and Corrosion Resistance
Publication date: January 2019Source: Colloid and Interface Science Communications, Volume 28Author(s): Shima Tavakoli, Shervin Nemati, Mahshid Kharaziha, Safoura Akbari-AlavijehAbstractThe purpose of this paper was to develop the hydrophobic nanocomposite coatings of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-SiO2-CuO to improve biocompatibility, corrosion resistance and antibacterial property of 316 L stainless. In this research, after synthesize of CuO and SiO2 nanopowders using wet-chemical approaches, PDMS-SiO2-CuO coatings consisting of various amounts of CuO nanoparticles were developed using dip-coating process. The nanocomposi...

IN VITRO Anticancer Activity and Physicochemical Properties of SOLANUM LYCOCARPUM Alkaloidic Extract Loaded in Natural Lipid-Based Nanoparticles
Publication date: January 2019Source: Colloid and Interface Science Communications, Volume 28Author(s): I.P.S. Carvalho, M.A. Miranda, L.B. Silva, T.N. Chrysostomo-Massaro, J.A.R. Paschoal, J.K. Bastos, P.D. MarcatoAbstractBladder cancer (BC) is the 9th most common cancer in the worldwide. BC's treatment is still a challenging goal. Thereby, the screening of natural compounds as solasonine (SS) and solamargine (SM) that exhibit antitumor activity is interesting to BC therapy. This work aimed to develop natural lipid-based nanoparticles (NLN) as carrier system of S. lycocarpum's fruits alkaloidic extract (AE), rich in SS an...

Continuous Flow Synthesis of Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles in Reverse Miniemulsion Systems
Publication date: January 2019Source: Colloid and Interface Science Communications, Volume 28Author(s): Tonghan Gu, Yunfei Zhang, Saif A. Khan, T. Alan HattonAbstractMagnetic nanoparticles were synthesized continuously in a multiphase segmented flow reaction system where one phase was a miniemulsion containing iron precursor solution in nanodroplet confinement and the other phase was diluted ammonium hydroxide solution. Spontaneous formation of reverse micelles at the phase boundary effectively transported ammonium hydroxide into the nanodroplets to trigger the precipitation of magnetic nanoparticles. The nanoparticles pos...
