by solid-state reaction. Surface of these particles is modified with LiFePO4 nanostructure bysol-gel dip coating. Synthesized products are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Results of electrochemical tests show that charge/discharge capacities (146 mAh g-1) and charge retention of battery (%91) were significantly enhanced. This improved electrochemical performance is due to LiFePO4 layer on the surface of LiMn2O4particles. Keywords: LiMn2O4; Cathode; Spinel; LiFePO4; Dip coating, Nanostructure APP 204

Mordenite (MOR)nanocrystallites were synthesis by hydrothermal method. Sol-gel and deposition methods utilized to modification of zeolite surface with TiO2 and then, AgBr or AgCl particles.Photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The activity was evaluated by photodegradation of acid blue 92 as an azo dye. The effect of silver halide deposition on the photocatalytic behavior of prepared nanocomposites studied under both ultraviolate and visible light and the results were compared. The results showed that AgCl/TiO2/MOR was more active under UV while with visible source, AgBr/TiO2/ MOR exhibited the higher photocatalytic performance. A mechanism was also proposed for the reaction. Keywords: Mordenite; Photocatalytic degradation; TiO2; Acid blue 92 APP 202

In this study, by considering paraffin as a phase change material (PCM), multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were added to paraffin water emulsion. The effect of various MWCNTs mass fraction on the heat capacity and thermal conductivity of the prepared samples has been investigated experimentally. The results show that thermal conductivity has a nonlinear increase with MWCNTs mass fraction as well as a remarkable enhancement in paraffin melting point temperature. Whereas heat capacity decrement for the samples containing MWCNTs less than 2%, volume fraction could be observed. The effect of PCM on thermal properties of the synthesized samples has been investigated in the present work. Keywords: Nanofluid; Phase change material; Heat capacity; Thermal conductivity APP 205

Arsenic is one of the most toxic Elements presents in the groundwater and surface water, that threat human and other animals health. Arsenic removal has done with different kinds of methods. In thistest arsenic removal from drinking water with nanoparticle zirovalent iron (NZVI) down to standard limit (0.01 mg/lit)has investigated. In this experience arsenic mixed with NZVI in ultrasonic then separates from water with VATMAN paper 0.45 m. Then survived arsenic in the water measured with ICP device with As>0.01mg/lit measurement. In this article effect of mixed time, pH, NZVI dose and arsenic dose has investigated. After many tests 1mg arsenic can be removed 100% with 0.05g NZVI in 8min.PH and time mixing change investigated in this article.Arsenic has removed 100% in high range of pH from 5 to 10. Ions chloride, sulphate and chromium dont have influence in arsenic removal level instead of present carbonate, bicarbonate and phosphate ions.

Natural pozzolans are appropriate supplementary cementations materials in cement and concrete industry. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a byproduct of cement production reaction in which limestone (CaCO3) is converted to lime (CaO). Increasing the ratio of additives such as pozzolans to cement reduces CO2 emission. A simple hydrothermal method was developed to synthesize nanostructures of natural pozzolan. Chemical composition, crystallinity, morphology and reactivity of the natural pozzolansamples were compared before and after the hydrothermal process, by using Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal gravimetry and differential Thermal analysis (TG/DTA). Considering the results, the nano natural pozzolan showed a superior reactivity as compared with the bulk natural pozzolan.
