Abstract

Molybdenum oxide nanorods (MOx-NR) and vanadium oxide nanotubes (VOx-NT) have been prepared using MoO3 and V2O5 powders as precursors and hexadecylamine as surfactant via hydrothermal route. Porous nanocrystalline MgO powder has been prepared by a simple and instantaneous solution combustion process using corresponding magnesium nitrate as oxidizer and glycine as fuel. The compounds are characterized by XRD, TG-DTA, SEM, TEM, surface area and porosity measurements. Because of the porous nature having large surface area (107 m2/g) with nanodimension (12-23 nm), MgO powder has been successfully employed as defluoridizing agent for the removal of fluoride (75%) in ground water
