Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) with appropriate surface chemistry exhibit many interesting properties that can be exploited in a variety of biomedical applications such as magnetic resonance imaging contrast enhancement, tissue repair, hyperthermia, drug delivery and in cell separation. These applications required that the MNPs such as iron oxide Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles ...

interactions between cd, pillared clays and chalcogenedies have been studied using nanomineralogical experiments. xrd, dsc and chemical analysis. the synchrotron-based x-ray absorption spectroscopy (xas) was applied to characterize the reaction phases. the mean bond lengths between, cd-s, fe-s, sb-s, cd-cd (in chalcogenedies), al-cd, cd-ti, and fe-cd, (in pillared clays) were determined by xas ...

In this study, Fe(3)O(4)/SiO(2)/TiO(2) photocatalyst was prepared via a sol-gel method, and Fe(3)O(4) particles were used as the core of the colloid. Diffraction peaks of Fe(3)O(4) crystals are not found by XRD characterization, indicating that Fe(3)O(4) particles are well encapsulated by SiO(2). FTIR characterization shows that diffraction peaks of Ti-O-Si chemical bonds become obvious when th...

In this study, Fe(III)-cross-linked chitosan beads (Fe(III)-CBs) were synthesized and employed to explore the characteristics and primary mechanism of their hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) adsorption under low concentration Cr(VI) (less than 20.0 mg l-1) and a pH range from 2.0 to 8.0. Batch tests were conducted to determine the Cr(VI) adsorption capacity and kinetics, and the effects of pH and te...

Mixtures containing the desired weight ratios of 2 3 -Fe O α and γ-AlOOH were homogenized in the planetary mill, then pressed into tablets and heated up to 1200 °C. All samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy, Field emission scanning electron microscopy and Energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Two types of solid solutions of general formula 12 3 -(Al Fe ) O x x α we...

The effect of Fe ion concentration on the morphological, structural, and optical properties of TiO2 films supported on silica (SiO2) opals has been studied. TiO2:Fe2O3 films were prepared by the sol-gel method in combination with a vertical dip coating procedure; precursor solutions of Ti and Fe were deposited on a monolayer of SiO2 opals previously deposited on a glass substrate by the same pr...

A series of Mox–Fe/beta catalysts with constant Fe and variable Mo content were synthesized and investigated for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with NH3. It was found that the Mo0.2–Fe/beta catalyst exhibited excellent activity, N2 selectivity and preferable resistance to H2O and SO2. The Mox– Fe/beta catalysts were characterized by various analytical techniques. TEM and SEM images ...

Prussian blue analogue potassium metal hexacyanoferrate (KMHCF) nanoparticles Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3 (FeHCF), K2Cu3[Fe(CN)6]2 (KCuHCF), K2Ni[Fe(CN)6]·3H2O (KNiHCF), and K2Co[Fe(CN)6] (KCoHCF) have been synthesized using plant based biosurfactant Aegle marmelos (Bael) and water as a green solvent. It must be emphasized here that no harmful reagent or solvent was used throughout the study. Plant extracts ...
