PreparationOf Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles and its Use in Leather Tanning

Abstract

In this study, magnesium oxide nanoparticles were prepared using two methods: - The sol-gel method with spontaneous combustion and employing green chemistry, which is a less expensive and environmentally friendly method using lemon juice extract. The second method is the liquid phase method, and in this method aqueous magnesium nitrate and sodium hydroxide are used as raw materials. In this work all final products has undergone of infrared (IR) analysis, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray energy dispersion (EDX), ultraviolet (UV) device were diagnosed, and Pure nano-magnesium oxide powder was obtained, and this was confirmed by the tests conducted, and the results of a scanning electron microscope showed that the particle size ranges between (70 - 85 nm)
