Preparation of humic acid-bentonite polymer composite: A heavy metal ion adsorbent

Evelina L. M. Amutenya et al.

Summary: A novel adsorbent for removing heavy metal ions from wastewater was developed by combining humic acid-bentonite polymer composite with a polymer matrix. The adsorption efficiency was influenced by pH, metal ion concentration, adsorbent dosage, humic acid, and bentonite properties, showing significant adsorption performance.

Purification, Synthesis and Structural, Optical Characterizations of Silicon (Si) Nano-Particles from Bentonite Mineral: the Effect of Magnesium-Thermic Chemical Reduction

H. Torkashvand et al.

Summary: In this study, silicon nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using magnesium-thermic chemical reduction technique from bentonite mineral. The nanoparticles exhibited high purity, spherical morphology, and a uniform agglomerated structure, with particle sizes ranging from 18-35 nm. The optical band gap of the nanoparticles was measured using UV-Vis spectroscopy, showing indirect band gap values of 3.97 eV, 3.93 eV, and 3.46 eV at different synthesis temperatures.

Surface and morphological studies of LiNbO3: p-type semiconductivity on stoichiometric surfaces

Luis Henrique da Silveira Lacerda et al.

Summary: LiNbO3 is a semiconductor material used in the development of technological devices and processes, with its suitability expanded when it exhibits p-type semiconductivity. Density functional theory simulations connect the surface and crystalline morphology of LiNbO3 to its semiconductor features, providing insights on the influence of O vacancies on surface stability and electronic properties. The study also predicts the expected properties of different crystal shapes based on calculated surface properties, revealing a special behavior of both p- and n-type semiconductivity in the same morphology.
