Completed Projects
Fabrication of Magnetic Nanophotocatalyst for the Degradation of Cyanide - Funded by DOST-PCCIERD
Fe3O4@TiO2 showed higher cyanide degradation efficiency (94%) under sunlight irradiation, Fe3O4@TiO2 showed higher cyanide degradation efficiency (94%) under sunlight irradiation. The nanophotocatalyst can be re-used for up to 5 cycles without significant changes in the cyanide removal efficiency.
Solid State Phenomena (2019), 294, 17-23
Recyclable Magnetic Nanoprobe for the Enrichment and Remediation of Metal Ions - Funded by San Roque Metals Inc. (SRMI)
Remediation of Ni2+ in a nickel-contaminated water sample using magnetic nanoprobes prepared via a green process by Psidium guajava leaves extract. Higher adsorption of Ni2+ (98.5%) was observed when 10 mg of magnetic nanoprobes were used.
