This research work reports the magnetic adsorption of fluoride from drinking water through silica-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Chemical precipitation and wet impregnation methods were employed to synthesize nanomaterials. Moreover, synthesized nanomaterials characterized for physicochemical properties scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction...

Understanding dynamic changes of catalytically active nanostructures under reaction conditions is a pivotal challenge in catalysis research, which has been extensively addressed in metal nanoparticles but is less explored in supported oxide nanocatalysts. Here, structural changes of iron oxide (FeO(x)) nanostructures supported on Pt in a gaseous environment were examined by scanning tunneling m...

We report evidence for a preserved magnetic state in FeO up to 143 GPa at room temperature using high-resolution x-ray emission spectroscopy. This observation is based on the spectral line shape of the Fe Kb emission line. Up to the highest pressure, FeO remains a magnetic insulator. Combining our results with previous Mössbauer data, we present a new magnetic phase diagram of FeO. Features lik...

Production of thin steel strips with 0.18-0.26 mm thickness is about 0.75 of annual production of the two stand reversing cold mill, while its efficiency is 60%. This is due to the fact that after montaging the grinded work rolls, rolling thin steel strips (with thicknesses less than 0.18 millimeters) is unavailable. Initially, unsuitable surface roughness, the friction between rolls and the st...

Maintaining brain Cu homeostasis is vital for normal brain function. The role of systemic Fe deficiency (FeD) or overload (FeO) due to metabolic diseases or environmental insults in Cu homeostasis in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain tissues remains unknown. This study was designed to investigate how blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-SCF barrier (BCB) regulated Cu transport and how FeO ...

The lowest energy structures of FeO2 were determined by means of density functional theory techniques as implemented in the program DGauss 3.0.1. The calculations performed were of the all-electron type using two levels of theory, namely the local spin density approximation with the use of the Vosko–Wilk–Nusair (VWN) functional and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) in the form of the...

Currently, nanotechnology and nanoparticles have been quickly emerged gained the attention of scientists due to their massive applications in environmental sectors. Nanotechnology also encompasses ability design, characterize, manufacture, implement nano-sized structures. Today, metal oxide stand out industrial various fields applied nanotechnology. Among nanoparticles, iron (FeO-NPs) are one w...

Iron oxide/activated carbon (FeO/AC) composite adsorbent material, which was used to modify the coal-based activated carbon (AC) 12 x 40, was prepared by the special ferric oxide microcrystal in this study. This composite can be used as the adsorbent to remove arsenic from drinking water, and Langmuir isotherm adsorption equation well describes the experimental adsorption isotherms. Then, the a...
