Main synthesis methods of nZVI, nano-sized iron oxides and hydroxides, core-shell and alloy structures, ferrites, iron-containing supported forms, and composites are described. Supported structures include those coated and on the basis of polymers or inert inorganic materials (i.e., carbon, titania or silica). Description of catalytic processes includes the decomposition reactions (in particular photocatalytic processes), reactions of dehydrogenation, oxidation, alkylation, CC coupling, among a series of other processes. Certain attention is paid to magnetic recovery of catalysts from reaction systems and their reuse up to several runs almost without loss of catalytic activity.

In the present work, three different synthesis routes were used to obtain copper trimesinate coordination polymer: Slow evaporation (A), solvothermal synthesis using a polyethylene glycol (PEG-1500) modulator (B), and green synthesis in water (C). This MOF was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetry and volumetric nitrogen adsorption/desorption. The samples have permanent porosity and a microporous structure with a large surface area corresponding to the adsorption type I. The obtained MOF was tested as a sorbent to remove organic dyes methylene blue (МB), Congo red (CR) and methyl violet (MV) as examples. Dye adsorption followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The equilibrium data were fitted to the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, and the isotherm constants were determined. Thermodynamic parameters, such as changes in the free energy of adsorption (∆G 0), enthalpy (∆H 0), and entropy (∆S 0), were calculated. Thermolysis of copper trimesinate leads to the formation of carbon materials Cu@C with a high purity.

The peculiarities of dispersion of CNTs in cementitious matrices are discussed, paying major attention to the CNT diameter, length and length-to-diameter ratio, concentration, functionalization, annealing, combination with other nanomaterials, and water-cement ratio. Several effects upon dispersion of carbon allotropes in concrete-water media are emphasized. It is also pointed out that the health impact should also be considered in further experiments on construction materials reinforced with CNTs.

Carbon disulfide is used as a precursor; three combinations of iron and silver were used as catalysts. When iron is used as a catalyst, an anomaly in the R(T) characteristics is observed at about 0 o C due to the absorption of water molecules in carbon nanofibers. Morphology of carbon nanofibers by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is studied.

In this work, a mixed-ligand Zr-MOF containing terephthalic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline as linkers was used for this purpose. The limiting adsorption of the dyes Congo red and methylene blue, according to experimental data, is 40 mg/g. The influence of various parameters (time, temperature, adsorbent dosage, pH, and coexisting ions) on adsorption characteristics was studied. The sorbent was tested for the removal of dyes from drinks in water and in artificial seawater. The possibility of the separation of dyes by column chromatography using a sorbent as a filler was studied.

Additionally, the potential sources of WSOC emission were determined through the study on fluorescence excitation–emission matrix spectra and parallel factor analysis (EEM-PARAFAC). Samples were collected in an urban site of the Monterrey Metropolitan Area in Mexico during summer and winter and characterized using attenuated total reflectance-Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), ultraviolet-visible-near infrared-diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–Vis-NIR-DRS), fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The ATR-FTIR analyses allowed the identification of inorganic ions (e.g., CO32−, SO42−, and NO3−), organic functional groups [e.g., carbonyls (C=O), organic hydroxyl (C-OH), carboxylic acid (COOH)], and aromatic and unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons.

The process was conducted in a range of temperatures in a quartz tube in inert atmosphere on borosilicate glass supports where the nanometric layers of nanoparticles were deposited. The samples were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Infrared Spectroscopy Fourier Transform (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy; their condusctivity was measured via Kelvin technique. The properties of formed nanolayers were analyzed according to metal nature in the phthalocyanine, temperature, carrier gas speed, and other process parameters. Possible MEMS applications of thus fabricated nanolayers are discussed.

We have applied heating by microwaves (MW) (power 800W, frequency 2.45 GHz) in air at 20–90 min. The oven temperature was approximately 1200°C. The condensed material was collected on a fused silica target. After deposition, the morphology of carbon nanotubes was studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The samples were found to contain nanotubes, nanoparticles and fibers (at 1.30–2.80 micrometers to 6–11 micrometers) which appeared to be highly graphitized. It was observed that multi-walled nanotubes (MWNT's) were produced by this method.

The formed composites are studied by electron miscroscopy methods and Raman spectrometry. It is found that the acrylic paints with addition of OH-SWCNTs and aniline-SWCNTs show better quality for their applications. In particular, the resistance against degradation by electron beam increased in ~500%.
