Abstract
Silver nanoparticles, due to their superior properties, have significant efficiency and importance in industry. This article presents the design and synthesis of a nanostructure (Ag@TEOS-IM) based on silver nanoparticles, proposed as a suitable candidate for the detection and removal of Arsenic. The successful synthesis of the nanoparticles was examined using DLS and FTIR techniques. Some linear and nonlinear optical properties of the Ag@TEOS-IM nanoparticles at concentrations with and without arsenic were investigated and reported. The linear absorption of the samples with and without arsenic increased with the concentration of nanoparticles. The nonlinear refractive index for arsenic-free samples was reported as negative, while it was positive for samples containing arsenic, and all samples exhibited saturated nonlinear absorption. Additionally, Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) was utilized to evaluate the efficiency of these nanoparticles in arsenic removal.
