Electrochemical-induced particle formation
One of our research work is dealing with the synthesis of particles by electrochemical method. One of them is synthesis of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles. How can electrochemical process induce particle formation? This article will give some discussion about electrochemical-induced particle formation with an example about the formation of magnetite nanoparticles. One important thing that must…

Silica gel from bagasse ash
We have succesfully produced silica gel from bagasse ash (boiler waste of cane sugar mills) by a simple low-energy chemical method. We published the results on Advanced Powder Technology, a reputable scientific journal published by Elsevier BV on behalf of The Society of Powder Technology Japan. The method can be an alternative for the commercial…
