Green Chemistry Methods Used in Iran to Produce Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles
Tehran, Iran | Posted on June 27th, 2015This method is based on the standards of green chemistry due to the use of biological and green reactants instead of toxic chemicals and contaminants. In addition, carrying out the synthesis at ambient temperature and pressure significantly decreases costs, increases speed and reduces the environmental pollution in comparison with the normal chemical methods.
In this research, biocompatible nanoparticles based on zinc oxide were synthesized through green chemistry standards. Carrying out all reactions in the green solvent of water, use of biological reactant and elimination of toxic and polluting materials and solvents are among the most important advantages of the proposed method. Among the other achievements of the research, mention can be made of the use of available and cheap raw materials, low temperature, simplicity and repeatability of the production method. Another point is that various industries can reduce their costs by using this method in long-term periods through reducing the pollution and less consumption of energy.
The industrial and usual application of zinc oxide nanoparticles is in rubber industry due to its isolation against electricity, high heat capacity, good adhesion properties and perfect coating strength. The use of zinc oxide nanoparticles in rubber leads to the smooth appearance of the rubber, increases its durability, maintains its strength at high temperature and increases the life of the rubber.
In addition, zinc oxide nanoparticles can have new applications in optoelectronics, sensors, transformators, and medical industries due to their properties, including semi-conductivity, being piezoelectric and pyroelectric and biocompatibility.
Results of the research have been published in Ceramics International, vol. 41, issue 7, 2015, pp. 8382-8387.
