We describe an autonomous 'black-box' system for the controlled synthesis of fluorescent nanoparticles. The uses a microfluidic reactor to carry out and in-line spectrometer monitor emission spectra emergent particles. acquired data is fed into control algorithm which reduces each spectrum scalar 'dissatisfaction coefficient' then intelligently updates reaction conditions in effort minimise this coefficient so drive towards desired goal. In tests reported here, CdSe nanoparticles were...
Selenium is an essential micronutrient required for natural biological systems such as anti-oxidative systems. Despite beneficial aspect, contamination of selenium and its subsequent bioaccumulation can be harmful to environment human health. In light the significance contamination, various technologies have been developed treatment bioremediation selenium-laden soil wastewaters. However, there are still a number challenges establishing stringent discharge limits, predicting fate bio-reduced...
Abstract We review the performance of various nanoscaled structures needed to support propagation surface plasmons responsible for surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and assess potential optimisation compromise between enhancement reproducibility that they provide, hence their utility relevant applications. divide these nanostructures into those comprising structured arrays discrete nanoparticles in two or three dimensions, regularly patterned surfaces dimensions. The most promising...
Abstract In this research, we investigated the sorptive behavior of a mixture 14 volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (four aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, p-xylene, styrene), six C 2 -C 5 fatty acids (VFAs), two phenols, indoles) against three metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), i.e., MOF-5, Eu-MOF, MOF-199 at to 10 mPa VOC partial pressures (25 °C). The selected MOFs exhibited strongest affinity for (polar) molecules (skatole), whereas weakest toward was (non-polar) (i.e.,...
Recent developments in nanotechnology and engineering have produced a plethora of nanomaterials with amazing physical/chemical properties enhanced sensing potential for various heavy metals the environment.
Molecular imprinting technology is used for producing molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). These MIPs have tailor-made binding sites target template molecules. Recently, been employed in a wide range of analytical fields because their high specificity and sensitivity molecules (e.g., drugs, foods, pesticides). combined with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can enhance accessibility to the sites, as such combination offer many beneficial properties mechanical strength specific surface area)....
