<em>In this work core-shell structure Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@SiO<sub>2</sub>@meso-SiO<sub>2 </sub>microsphere has been successfully prepared. An inorganic magnetic core has been coated with multi-shell structure, dense nonporous silica as an inner layer and mesoporous silica as an outer layer. The dense silica shell can enhance the stability and minimize the negative effect of acidic conditions on the inner core </em><em>and the porous outer shell can provide high surface area and enhance the loading of a functionalized</em><em> group. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) has been used as a pore-forming agent and a modified methodology was adopted to improve the extraction condition of this kind of surfactant. </em><em>The as-prepared microspheres were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope</em><em> (FESEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Vibration Sample Magnetometer (VSM), N<sub>2</sub> adsorption-desorption,</em> <em>and Particle Size Analyzer (PSA).

<em>Facile low-temperature chemical route for the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles is reported in this paper. Morphologically uniform and spherical shape with an average particle size of 8.8 nm and</em><em> wurtzite</em><em> phase with the crystalline structure of as-synthesized ZnO nanoparticles </em><em>were confirmed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission</em><em> Electron Microscopy (TEM). The optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles were analyzed by UltraViolet Visible (UV-Vis) absorption and PhotoLuminescence (PL). The as-synthesized ZnO nanoparticles showed orange light-emitting properties when excited at 400 nm due to the well overlapping of electron and hole wave function across the compatible size of the particle of ZnO and the optical energy band gap of 3.5 eV due to quantum confinement. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (UPS) were used for the elemental, molecular and energetic information of ZnO nanoparticles. UPS analysis depicted the energy level position of ZnO nanoparticles whereas XPS spectra showed the presence of constitute elementals with the stoichiometric atomic % of Zn and O. The elemental composition was also confirmed </em><em>by the EDS analysis. The </em><em>significant Raman shifts for as-synthesized ZnO nanoparticles in the typical</em><em> Raman-active modes of vibration assigned to the wurtzite crystal nanostructure of ZnO.</em>

<em>This study is comprised of the synthesis and characterization of uniform fine particles of iron oxide in different shapes and sizes. Varying amounts of iron (III) chloride and sodium dihydrogen phosphate was heated at 98 <sup>o</sup>C for various periods, following the forced hydrolysis method. Scanning electron microscopic analysis showed that the shape and size of the precipitated particles were dependent on the applied experimental conditions. Selected batches of the synthesized particles were characterized by various physical methods i.e., XRD, FT-IR, electrophoretic mobility to confirm their identity. The high concentration of phosphate ions tended the particles to grow lengthwise so as the morphology of the precipitated particles change from spherical (axial ratio 1) to ellipsoidal (axial ratio 6) shape. The excess amount of ferric chloride in the reaction, medium facilitated the growth of the primarily formed particles. The particle size increased with aging and attained a limiting value in 94 h. All the solids were crystalline and the observed peaks in the XRD patterns corresponded to iron (III) oxide. These findings are important in developing a facile and robust method for the synthesis of monodispersed particles of various metal oxides and controlling their size and shape.</em>

<em>In this paper, the synthesis of new montmorillonite nanocomposite hydrogel (MMTNH) based on poly (acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) grafted onto starch, is described. Montmorillonite (MMT) as nanometer base, acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AAm) as monomers, ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator, N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker and starch as a biocompatible polymer were prepared in aqueous solution and their amounts were optimized to attain</em> <em>the highest water absorbance. The optimized swelling capacity in distilled water was found to be 810 g/g. A mechanism for hydrogel formation was proposed and the structure of the product was confirmed using a set of techniques including FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray powder diffraction. Furthermore, the swelling behaviors </em><em>of the nanocomposite at different pHs, various salt with different concentrations, the mixture of solvents,</em><em> were investigated. The methylene blue (MB) dye was used as model drugs to assess the loading </em><em>and release by MMTNH.

<em>In addition to increasing the efficacy of various drugs, Nanoparticles reduce their side effects. In this study, different nanoparticle formulations of Doxorubicin anticancer drugs </em><em>were prepared. The efficacy of the formulations produced in the cell culture medium was studied compared </em><em>with the free drug. Reverse phase evaporation was used to form the liposome containing doxorubicin. The graphite nanoparticles were prepared. These nanoparticles were mixed with the liposome containing doxorubicin, and the related Nano-complex was conjugated. Spectroscopy methods </em><em>for visible light-ultraviolet, light and light dynamics differentiation were used to describe nanoparticles.</em><em> For the toxicity of different formulation, MTT and MCF-7 cells were used. The amount of drug loading in the liposomes was 72%. The largest amount was related to the Nano-conjugated complex </em><em>and the smallest size was related to the graphene-oxide nanoparticle with a nanometer size. The controlled</em><em> release in 96 hours and the amount of drug release was 95.43%. Doxorubicin-containing liposome toxicity was 75% and Nano- conjugated complex was 85%, at the lowest drug concentration (10µM). The free drug created 35% cell toxicity in 10µM and 89% in 2500µM. The results of the study showed Liposomes act as a suitable nanoparticle for doxorubicin. It was found that the effect of nanoparticles of graphene oxide is very important. In the presence of this nanoparticle in the complex, toxicity increased significantly.</em>

From SEM observation, the ratio of ZnO nanoparticles to nanocomposite altered the morphology of the hybrids from granular to plate-like structure, which was confirmed by EDXS. The thermal property was studied using TG/DTA analysis shows the residual weight (TGA curves) and its weight derivative (DTA curves) of the polyaniline-polystyrene-chitosan/zinc oxide are more stable than chitosan and polyaniline-polystyrene-chitosan. Also, the cyclic voltammetry on the obtained hybrid materials revealed that the plate-like structure was more advantages </em><em>for electrochemical stability. Overall, the results show that the introduction of the ZnO nanoparticles</em><em> into the polyaniline-polystyrene-chitosan matrix enhanced the thermal and electrode stability.</em>

<em>A series of 8 new complexes of titanium and zirconium with diamido ligands bearing an ethylene and propylene bridge between the two amido groups were synthesized and tested for ethylene polymerization. Titanium complexes bearing an ethylene bridge between the two amido groups showed higher activities than the derivatives with a propylene bridge. In the case of the zirconium complexes, the propylene bridged complexes were more active than the corresponding ethylene bridged. The introduction of bulky groups on the ligand structure resulted in an increase in the activity. DFT calculations were performed to determine the activation energy barriers for different reaction steps. The calculated activation energy for the insertion of ethylene into an M-CH<sub>3</sub> bond is in the range of 12.2-16.8 kcal/mol and the activation energy for the chain termination via β-H transfer reaction is 12.5-14.4 kcal/mol.</em>

<em>In this research, the protonation constant value of tannic acid was determined at 25 °C</em><em> and different ionic strengths (0.1 to 0.7 mol/dm<sup>3</sup> NaCl) using potentiometric titration technique. The dependence of protonation constant on ionic strength was modeled and discussed by a Debye-Hückel type equation. Then, based on the obtained data from experiments, the minimizing Sum of Squares Error (SSE) was done by Microsoft's Excel solver program and the most suitable model was chosen. After optimization, the protonation constant of tannic acid at different ionic strengths was calculated and curves of log K<sub>cal</sub> and log K<sub>exp</sub> </em><em>were compared.

<em>The synthesis, characterization and quantum-chemical investigations of two new Co(II) complexesderived from fluorescent benzimidazoles have been reported. Two new fluorescentheterocyclic ligands were synthesized from the reduction of imidazo[4',5':3,4]benzo[1,2-c]isoxazole derivatives, and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, mass, and NMR spectra. Coordination of the bidentate ligands with Co(II) cation produced orange complexes. The structures of the complexes have been established by spectral and analytical data as well as Job’s method. The photophysical properties of the new ligands and Co(II) complexes were characterized by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopies. An efficient charge transfer from the p-orbital of ligand to the Co(II) d-orbital could be proposed as the main reason for the color of the new complexes. To gain insight into geometry, spectral properties and the energy difference between the HOMO and LUMO frontier orbitals of the ligands and Co(II) complexes, the DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level were employed. The DFT-calculated spectral properties were in good agreement with the experimental values and confirmed the suitability of the optimized geometries for cobalt complexes.</em>

In the batch experimental set-up, optimum conditions for quantitative removal</em><em> of Methylene green by [SnS-NP-C] was attained following searching effect of variables such as </em><em>adsorbent dosage (0.05-0.35 g), contact time (10-120 min), solution pH (6-10), and initial concentration of dye (10–60 </em><em>mg/L</em><em>) on the adsorption process was investigated</em><em>. Optimum values were set at pH of 8.0, 0.25 g of [SnS-NP-C] at removal time of 50 min. Kinetic studies at the various </em><em>adsorbent dosage and initial methylene green concentration show that maximum dye was sequestered</em><em> within 10 min as a sort time. The adsorption of methylene green follows the pseudo-second-order rate equation in addition to the interparticle diffusion model (with the removal of more than 99%) at all conditions. Equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir model at all amount of adsorbent, while maximum adsorption capacity was 14.22 mg/g for 0.2 g of [SnS-NP-C]. </em><em>The present procedure is green and offers advantages such as shorter reaction time, simple workup, and high percentage removal.</em>

<em>Application of agriculture residue especially in biochar form seems to be effective in the removal of contaminants such as nitrate pollution. The effectiveness of biochar produced from palm leaf residues (pyrolyzed at 600 ˚C) in the removal of nitrate from aqueous solution was studied at different pH. The pH value at the point of zero charges (pH<sub>pzc</sub>) and surface functional groups of biochar were also investigated. The result showed that the pH<sub>pzc</sub> of palm leaf biochar was about 8 and the most adsorption of nitrate from solution (90%) was obtained at pH 2. The fit of experimental data to six adsorption isotherm and eight kinetic models showed satisfied fits to Freundlich and Langmuir 2 isotherm and pseudo-second-order, power function, Intraparticle diffusion and simplified Milovich models due to their low values of Standard Errors (SE) of estimate and high values of coefficients of determination (R<sup>2</sup>). The result implied that the adsorption of nitrate onto palm leaf biochar was through favorable and multi-step chemisorption processes. According to the result reported herein the use of palm leaf biochar is promising for nitrate removal from aqueous solution.</em>

<em>The partitioning of lysozyme and extraction yield in an aqueous two-phase system containing Poly Vinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP) K25 and potassium phosphate were investigated as a function of weight percent of salt and PVP in the feed, temperature, and pH. To investigate partitioning behavior, the central composite design was considered using a quadratic model. According to the results of the model, the partitioning of lysozyme was mainly due to the impact of the weight percent of the salt in the feed. However, the partitioning was expanded a little following the increase in the weight percent of the polymer. Based on the results, there was an opposite relationship between the temperature and decrement in the viscosity of PVP as the increment </em><em>in the former led to the decrement in the latter. Finally, the modification in the third factor was done</em><em> by increasing the pH level. Before experimenting, some values were hypothesized such as 93.69% for the maximum extraction yield, 21.23% for PVP K25, 13.99% for the salt concentrations, 7.10 for the pH value and 35.57 for the temperature. The findings of the study suggest that the hypothesized values for different variables are in line with the experimental results.</em>

<em>Natural convection heat transfer in a square enclosure with a horizontal baffle at the centerline of the left wall containing Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-water in the presence of a magnetic field is investigated numerically. The top and bottom horizontal walls are adiabatic. The left wall and the baffle are maintained in constant temperature T<sub>h </sub>and the right wall is maintained in constant temperature T<sub>c </sub>(T<sub>c</sub> <T<sub>h</sub>). Discretized equations are solved using the SIMPLE algorithm. The numerical simulations have been carried out to determine the effect of parameters in the following ranges: Rayleigh number, Ra=10<sup>3</sup> to 10<sup>6</sup>, nanoparticles volume fraction between j =0 to 5%, Hartmann number varied from Ha=0 to 60 and baffle length (L<sub>1</sub>=0 to 0.5L). The results show that the heat transfer rate increases with increasing Rayleigh number, but with increasing Hartmann number decreases. Also, increasing the baffle length enhances the heat transfer rate into the enclosure.</em>

<em>In this research, a theoretical study has been undertaken on the density and also on the relationship between refractive index and density for aqueous solutions. A simple linear equation is suggested to show this relationship. Also, a semi-empirical equation has been developed for estimating the constant of this linear equation. By using our suggested equations, the refractive indices of aqueous solutions of alkane polyols [R(OH)<sub>n</sub>, n = 2 to 6 -OH,s) and also polyols with one ring (monosaccharide) can be calculated. Moreover, the refractive indices of some alcohols and other components have been collected from the various literature. Our suggested equations have been tested for aqueous solutions of these molecules. For aqueous solutions of alkane polyols [R-(OH)<sub>n</sub></em>,<em> n = 2 to 6 –OH,s) and monosaccharide, a good agreement is observed between experimental refractive indices and theoretical ones. Other molecules show positive and/or negative </em><em>deviations from the results of our suggested equations. For various liquid solutions, the refractive indices can be correlated and fitted with our linear equation. Also, the value of the constant of this linear equation, K<sub>ref</sub>, shows the power of interaction between solute and solvent molecules. The interaction between solute and solvent molecules increases when the value of constant, K<sub>ref</sub> increases.</em>

<em>Removal of carbonate impurities in sedimentary phosphate is one of the most important issues in the industry. Poor selective flotation of those ores is due to the similarity of Physico-chemical surface properties, solubility, and electrokinetic characteristics of sparingly soluble phosphate and carbonate minerals. In this study, the effect of ultrasonic irradiation as a pretreatment method on reverse flotation of low-grade sedimentary phosphate sample from </em><em>Lar Mountain deposit was investigated. Ultrasonic was utilized before flotation at different ultrasound</em><em> intensity. This study was performed by two flotation approaches; i) using experimental design (Plackett-Burman method with 11 variables), and ii) try and error method. Initial mineralogical studies showed that the feed sample contains 10.34%P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>, 48.01%CaO, and 9.22%SiO<sub>2</sub><sup>.</sup> T</em><em>he collected data from experimental design were analyzed by DX7.0 software to assess the influence</em><em> of each parameter on flotation performance. The results indicated that ultrasound intensity, collector dosage, and dispersant dosage were the effective parameters. The results of the try and error method showed that the conditioning time was the most effective parameter in which by reducing ultrasonic preparation time the recovery was increased relative to 33.29%. Finally, the kinetic flotation tests and SEM studies were performed. The results proved surface cleaning of phosphate minerals which treated by ultrasound irradiation that led to better adsorption of chemicals which increased the recovery and grade of P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5 </sub>for 87.88% and 14.45%, respectively. However, the application of the ultrasonic treatment reduced the flotation chemicals’ consumption which is a prominent issue for phosphate treatment.</em>

<em>Drilling operations of petroleum generate oily wastes. The disposal of a significant amount of oil-based drill muds has caused soil contamination and critical environmental impacts in the last decades.The current study aimed to investigate the potential of microbial remediation for an aged oil-based drilling waste and to monitor the fluctuation in microbial population throughout </em><em>a 60-day microcosm experiment. A representative aged oil-based drilling waste sample was obtained</em><em> randomly from a contaminated mud pit in the Khangiran district, Iran. Respiration measurement was performed according to the method described by standard ISO 17155. Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) was measured by the gravimetric method. Microbial counts were measured at 10-day intervals during 60 days of incubation. Total heterotrophic bacteria were enumerated </em><em>by standard plate count using R<sub>2</sub>A agar. Dominant heterotrophic and hydrocarbon-utilizing bacteria</em><em> were selected for phylogenetic analysis. Statistical analyses of the experimental data, using one-way ANOVA were performed using Minitab 16. Following the biostimulation of the contaminated soil, both heterotrophic and hydrocarbon-utilizing bacterial counts increased to above three orders of magnitude in less than 20 days. The highest respiration level and hydrocarbon degradation efficiency </em><em>were correlated and measured between the 10th and 20th days of the experiment to be 70.7 µg/g.soil.h</em><em>and 23.13% respectively. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that the members of Actinobacteria (Georgenia, Brevibacterium, Micromonospora, and Streptomyces) were the major hydrocarbon-utilizing bacteria in the microcosm, among which the species of genus Georgenia were dominant throughout the experiments. Furthermore, the population of Alcanivorax species increased promptly and thrived in the microcosm during the active bioremediation phase which indicated their vital role for remediation of diesel range hydrocarbons in saline environments. In an overall view, elegant diversity of hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria along with the accomplished TPH removal efficiency of 45.4% (w/w) in the microcosms, confirmed the potential of indigenous microorganisms for bioremediation of the aged oil-based drilling waste.</em>

<em>In this study, the mineral contents of bread with boiled grape, date, carob and mulberry fruit juices at five different concentrations were determined. The fluctuations of B and Cu contents in bread with pekmez (molasses) were determined between 4.10 to 4.49 mg/kg and 2.74 and 3.34 mg/kg respectively. Ca, Mg, K, P and S were the main macro-elements of bread samples. The highest values of Ca were observed in samples with mulberry molasses (421 mg/kg - 826 mg/kg). The Ca content of bread with grape molasses ranged from 360 to 520 mg/kg, while Ca content of bread with carob molasses change between 396 and 582 mg/kg (p<0.05). K content of samples with carob molasses was higher than the others and ranged from 2321 mg/kg to 4719 mg/kg, followed by samples with mulberry, grape, and date palm molasses in descending order. The p content of the samples with carob molasses changed from 1249 to 1313 mg/kg. Results have exhibited the potential for the production of bread with boiled fruit juices of acceptable quality.</em>

<em>The present study was conducted to evaluate the <em>effectiveness</em> of the edible coating of </em><em>Cinnamon Essential Oil (CEO) and Rosemary Essential Oil (REO) incorporated into alginate coating</em><em> to maintain chemical and sensorial characteristics of chicken meat under refrigeration conditions. Firstly in vitro antioxidant activity of essential oils was evaluated. Then fresh chicken meats were coated with alginate solution containing CEO, REO alone and in combination and treatments </em><em>were evaluated for Peroxide value (PV), total carbonyls, ThioBarbituric Acid Reactive Substances BARS), </em><em>TriMethylAmine Nitrogen (TMAN), Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen (TVBN) </em><em>and sensory quality tests. Results indicated that there was a significant difference in chemical parameters and sensorial attributes in all treatments when compared to control during storage. </em><em>Therefore the functional alginate-sodium coating containing CEO and REO extended the shelf life of fresh chicken meat during refrigerated storage and </em><em>could have a valuable food preserving potential in the food industry.</em>
