TL;DR: In this paper, the fabrication of a low-cost, magnetically separable, solar light active NiFe2-xNdxO4 photocatalyst with different neodymium contents was reported.
Abstract: In the present investigation, we have reported the fabrication of a low-cost, magnetically separable, solar light active NiFe2–xNdxO4 photocatalyst with different neodymium contents. The synthesized photocatalyst samples were characterized by a combination of various physicochemical techniques such as PXRD, SEM, EDS, FTIR, and UV–vis spectroscopy. It was observed that Nd substitution can greatly enhance absorption in the whole visible region. With an increase in Nd concentration, NiFe2–xNdxO4 samples show a red shift in absorption. Interestingly, Nd substitution into nickel ferrite results in a dramatic conversion of the inert NiFe2O4 into a highly solar light active photocatalyst for the degradation of organic pollutants and also shows excellent recyclability and durability properties. The significant enhancement in photoactivity under solar light irradiation can be ascribed to the reduction of the nickel ferrite band gap by Nd3+ substitution. Therefore, these unusual properties of NiFe2–xNdxO4 encourage...

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis and characterization of semiconducting nanoparticles via one-step, solid-state reaction in the presence of polyethylene glycol 400 has been described, which is not only a physical size reduction process in conventional grinding but also a chemical reaction that is mechanically activated at the nanoscale during grinding.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied 12 physico-chemical parameters at four sites over a distance of 50 km for a period of 2 years (1999-2001) at monthly intervals.
Abstract: River Vrishabhavathy, a tributary of Cauvery River was studied for 12 physico-chemical parameters at four sites over a distance of 50 km for a period of 2 years (1999–2001) at monthly intervals. Water was faintly alkaline, with pH showing negative correlation with temperature. The dissolved oxygen content increased downstream with negative correlation to biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and turbidity. Bicarbonate alkalinity was very low compared with carbonate alkalinity. Carbonate alkalinity, total hardness, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, electrical conductivity, BOD and COD decreased downstream, with an upward trend in the middle reaches due to the introduction of raw sewage. The seasonal and yearly trends are also discussed. The river is a sewer collector undergoing self-purification.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the novel of a two-dimensional ferromagnetic fluid flow over a flat elastic sheet with the magnetic dipole effect, and the results revealed that upsurge in values of thermophoresis and Brownian motion parameters improves the thermal gradient and the fluid shows high heat transfer in existence of Stefan blowing condition.
