Phenol is present as a highly toxic pollutant in wastewater, and it has a dangerous impact on the environment. In the present research, the phenol removal from wastewater has been achieved using four treatment methods in a bubble column reactor (treatment by ozone only, using packed bubble column reactor with ozone, utilizing ozone with TiO2 NPs catalyst in the reactor without packing, and employing ozone with TiO2 NPs in the presence of packing). The effects of phenol concentration, ozone dosage, TiO2 NPs additions, and contact time on the phenol removal efficiency were determined. It was found that at a contact time of 30 min, the phenol removal was 60.4, 74.9, 86.0, and 100% for the first, second, third, and fourth methods, respectively. The results indicated that the phenol degradation method using catalytic ozonation in a packed bubble column with TiO2 NPs is the best treatment method. This study demonstrated the advantages of using packing materials in a bubble column reactor to enhance the mass transfer process in an ozonation reaction and then increase the phenol removal efficiency. Also, the presence of TiO2 NPs as a catalyst improves the ozonation process via the production of hydroxyl routs. Additionally, the reaction kinetics of ozonation reaction manifested that the first order model is more applicable for the reaction. Eventually, the packed bubble column reactor in the presence of TiO2 NPs catalyst provided a highperformance removal of phenol with a high economic feasibility.

Purpose: Developing structural designs that offer superior vibration properties is still a major challenge, but they stay solid and lightweight simultaneously. Composite faces are frequently used in insulating constructions as an alternative to sheet metal roofs. Rubber overlays have been added to reduce waves' natural frequency and fade time. Design/methodology/approach: The mechanical properties and the natural frequency calculation of the materials that make up the composite structural panels designed for structural applications with the addition of rubber layers were studied in this study. Findings: The results showed the addition of rubber layers with SiO2 nanoparticles with a density of 1180 kg m3, and the optimal decrease (VF = 2.5%) is 38.5% in the natural frequency while at a density of 1210 kg/m3, it is 40.2% in the natural frequency. While the addition of rubber layers with Al2O3 nanoparticles shows a density of 1180 kg/m3, the optimum reduction (VF = 2.5%) is 41% in HF while at a density of 1210 kg/m3 36.8% in an NF 41% during a density of 1210 kg/m3 38.4%. Research limitations/implications: Certain hypotheses were used to apply Kirchhoff's theory to solve the mathematical model of the structure. Practical implications: The work was carried out on the faces of nanocomposites made of SiO2/epoxy and Al2O3/epoxy with different densities and polylactic acid core. The inclusion of nanoparticles as a percentage of the fraction size ranges from 0% to 2.50%. Originality/value: This study's results shed light on the fundamental behaviour of the components that make up the sandwich in the presence of rubber layers.

The aim of this study was to compare the physico-chemical and biological properties of polymeric nanoparticles obtained from poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) with different ratios of monomers loaded with daunorubicin (DNR). Methods: DNR-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared with use of modified simultaneous double-emulsion solvent evaporation/diffusion technique. NPs were characterized using dynamic light scattering, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Results: NPs with DNR were differing in size and zeta potential, depending on the type of polymer. The data obtained show that total content of DNR correlates with the values of the binding constant of DNR with polymers. The release of DNR from NPs proceeds predominantly for polymers with lower binding constants. The in vitro study of NPs on the MCF-7 cells showed similar activity of particles and substances while for the anthracycline-resistant MCF-7Adr cells the cytotoxicity of the nanoparticles was 3 to 7 times higher depending on the type of copolymer. Conclusions: PLGA DNR-loaded nanoparticles can be used to overcome multidrug resistance (MDR) as well as for reducing the frequency of DNR reception due to the prolonged effect, which allows maintaining the concentration of the drug at the required level. The usefulness of binding constant calculations for obtaining nanoparticles with the maximum drug loading was proven. The rate of drug administration and the frequency of administration can be calculated based on the DNR release profiles and release parameters that depend on polymer type.

Cheap nano-clay (montmorillonite) was taken into consideration in this study as an additive to mineral oil to improve its lubricating properties. Mineral oils form the basis of speciality lubricants for food processing technology due to their biodegradability. In contrast to synthetic oils they are also less harmful. Literature indicates that nano-particles additives have a huge impact on lubricating properties. In this work wear scare diameter (WSD), friction coefficient and film thickness were studied. High frequency reciprocating rig (HFRR) was used to measure the said lubricating properties of prepared mixtures. Authors performed roughness measurements on sample plates after HFRR tests to study the relationship between WSD and Ra.

Toxicological research on the influence of noxious nanoparticles on human health indicates the need to develop efficient protective devices. In particular, this concerns respiratory protective equipment employing filtration nonwovens. This paper presents a methodology for the improvement of the filtration efficiency of electret nonwovens against nanoparticles by enriching amorphous polycarbonate (PC) with additives of different electrostatic potentials. We introduced perlite granules (positive charge) and amber granules (negative charge) to the polymer stream in melt-blown technology. Filtration efficiency was assessed by a standard method using paraffin oil and sodium chloride aerosol, as well as by a non-standard method using NaCl nanoparticles. The experiments showed that strengthening the effects of electrostatic forces by the introduction of modifiers is a promising approach to improving the efficiency of electret nonwovens against nanoparticles.

The nanocomposites based on water glass matrix were attempted in the study. Nanoparticles of ZnO, Al2O3 or MgO in organic solutions were applied into water glass matrix in the amounts of: 1.5; 3; 4 or 5 mas. %. Wettability of the quartz sad by the nanocomposites based on water glass matrix was determined by testing changes of the wetting angle θ in time τ for the system: quartz – binder in non-stationary state, by means of the device for measuring wetting angles. Wettability measurements were carried out under isothermal conditions at an ambient temperature (20 – 25 oC). The modification improves wettability of quartz matrix by water glass, which is effective in improving strength properties of hardened moulding sands. Out of the considered modifiers in colloidal solution of propyl alcohol water glass modified by MgO nanoparticles indicated the smallest values of the equilibrium wetting angle θr. This value was equal app. 11 degrees and was smaller no less than 40 degrees than θr value determined for not modified water glass. Viscosity η of nanocomposites based on water glass matrix was determined from the flow curve, it means from the empirically determined dependence of the shearing stress τ on shear rate γ: τ = f (γ) (1), by means of the rotational rheometer. Measurements were carried out at a constant temperature of 20 oC. The modification influences the binder viscosity. This influence is conditioned by: amount of the introduced modifier as well as dimensions and kinds of nanoparticles and organic solvents. The viscosity increase of the modified binder does not negatively influence its functional properties.

The article describes the morphology of carbon-metal nanocomposites consisting of nanostructured rhenium permanently attached to carbon nanomaterials, in the form of single-walled (SWCNTs), double-walled (DWCNTs) or multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Such nanocomposites are produced as a result of the high-temperature reduction of a rhenium precursor, including HReO4 or NH4ReO4, to metallic rhenium, deposited on the previously functionalised carbon nanomaterials in the form of nanoparticles whose size and dispersion are dependent upon the conditions of a technological process. Microscopic examinations carried out with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed a differentiated structure of the presented nanocomposites depending on impregnation time in a rhenium precursor, which is one of the manufacturing steps of such materials. It has been demonstrated that longer impregnation time brings favourable results for material homogeneity in the whole volume. Moreover, the Raman spectroscopy results of functionalised carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotubes decorated with rhenium also has been presented.
