Mercury, one of the common pollutants in water, is known to affect human health adversely upon exposure. It is released in water not only by various natural processes but also by human activities. Methods developed so far for the detection of mercuric ions in water have limitations like sensitivity range, complex setup, skillful operation etc. Silver nanoparticles, due to unique properties, have been explored by researchers to develop better detection systems. Stable silver nanoparticles can be easily synthesized by methods of green chemistry, its reaction with mercuric ion can be easily observed by changes in color and UV-Vis spectra. The absorbance data from UV-Vis spectra can also be used in quantifying mercury concentration. In this paper, stable silver nanoparticles synthesized using silver nitrate as precursor, sodium lignosulphonate (LS) as reducing and stabilizing agent under microwave radiation are explored for detection of mercuric ions in water. Formation of Ag nanoparticles was confirmed by UV-Vis band at 403.5nm. The intensity of this band showed a proportional decrease with increasing Hg+2 concentration. Hg+2 ions were detected by a distinct color change at higher concentration of Hg+2 also. The limit of detection (LOD) calculated from the observed absorbance data to be 0.7 ppm.

The effect of erbium (Er) addition at various weight percentages (0-0.6 wt.% at an interval of 0.2) on the microstructural features, tensile properties and wear behavior of as-cast Al-7.5Si-0.5Mg alloy were evaluated. The microstructure of the specimens was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The obtained results clearly demonstrated that the incorporation of erbium decreased the α-Al grain size and eutectic Si, and altered the Si morphology from plate to semi-globular. Further addition of erbium (> 0.2 wt.%) did not alter the eutectic morphology and size. Moreover, the Al3Er phase was also observed in the eutectic region after modification. Out of the erbium contents used, 0.2 wt.% erbium showed the best influence on the tensile and wear properties. Compared with those of unmodified specimen, the values of ultimate tensile strength and elongation were enhanced by 31 and 39%, respectively through 0.2 wt. % erbium addition. Additionally, a remarkable enhancement in the wear properties was observed with the addition of 0.2

In this study an effort has been made for the plasma ion nitriding (PIN) of Inconel 600 and 601 alloys at low temperatures. After plasma ion nitriding and microstructural study, growth kinetics of nitrided layer formation and wear properties were investigated by various characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, micro-hardness measurement and wear test by pin on disk technique. It was found that surface micro-hardness increases after the PIN process. A mixed peak of epsilon (ε) and fcc (γ) phase was detected for all temperature range (350 to 450 C), while the chromium nitride (CrN) phase was detected at elevated temperature range ~450 C in Inconel 601 alloy. The calculated values of the diffusion coefficient and activation energy for the diffusion of nitrogen are in accordance with the literature. Volume loss and wear rate of the plasma nitrided samples decreases, but it increases as PIN process temperature increases.
