n this study, two green synthesis routes were used for the synthesis of Ag/ZnO nanoparticles, using cassava starch as a simple and low-cost effective fuel and Aloe vera as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The Ag/ZnO nanoparticles were characterized and used for bacterial dis-
infection of lake water contaminated with Escherichia coli (E. coli). Characterization indicated the formation of a face-centered cubic structure of metallic silver nanoparticles with no insertion of Ag into the ZnO hexagonal wurtzite structure. Physicochemical and bacteriological analyses described in “Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater” were used to evaluate the efficiency of the treatment. In comparison to pure ZnO, the synthesized Ag/ZnO nanoparticles showed high efficiencies against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and general coliforms present in the lake
water. These pathogens were absent after treatment using Ag/ZnO nanoparticles. The results indicate that Ag/ZnO nanoparticles synthesized via green chemistry are a promising candidate for the treatment of wastewaters contaminated by bacteria, due to their facile preparation, low-cost synthesis,and disinfection efficiency.
The aim of this work is to evaluate the feasibility of the direct radiography on weld
inspection in oil pipelines and gas pipeline during the manufacturing process. To that, 6 specimens
with 6 different thickness and varied height of reinforced weld with 5 different kinds of defects
were made. All samples were radiographied using Class I films and flat panel. For all specimens the
inspection length was 8''. Thus, with the flat panel the detector-to-object distance varied so that it
may adequate to several diameters of the tubes.
The detector-to-object distance was calculated based on the physical size of the detector
taking into consideration a safe distance between the tube curvature and the flat panel extremities,
keeping the lowest possible magnification factor so that it could be obtained the length of the
inspection. Images with 6 integration time for each experimental arrangement were obtained.
The images obtained with the Flat Panel/YXLON system were analyzed according to their
quality by using the Contrast parameters (essential wire) (DNV 2007/ IS0 12096 with
reinforcement and ISO 10893-7 basis material), Basic Spatial Resolution BSR (ISO 10893-7)
and normalized signal-to-noise ratio - SNRN (ISO 10893-7) and by detectability using as reference
the conventional radiography.
The results showed that for all thickness, the exposure time used to meet the image quality
requirements were below with direct radiography. However the BSR were not reached for thickness
of 4.85, 6.40 and 9.67 mm, therefore the compensation principle established by ISO 10893-7 was
considered, that is, one more contrast wire for a less wire pair.
The digital technique proved to be more sensitive to real defects found on welds than the
conventional technique. Then it can be conclude that the digital radiography utilizing the flat panel
can be applicable to the oil and gas segment with advantages over conventional technique as to
quality aspects, productivity, environment, safety and health.
