This paper focuses on the synthesis of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles by the sol–gel method and their photocatalytic activity to eliminate bacteria in aqueous media at two different scales: in a laboratory reactor and a solar pilot plant. Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were prepared using Co(II) and Fe(II) salts as precursors and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as a surfactant. The obtained nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Escherichia coli (E. coli) strain ATCC 22922 was used as model bacteria for contact biocidal analysis carried out by disk diffusion method and photocatalysis under an ultraviolet A (UV-A) lamp for laboratory analysis and solar radiation (radiation below 350 W/m2 in a typical cloudy day) for the pilot plant analysis. The results showed that cobalt ferrite nanoparticles have an average diameter of (36 ± 20) nm and the X-ray diffraction pattern shows a cubic spinel structure. Using the disk diffusion technique, it was obtained inhibition zones of (17 ± 2) mm diameter. Results confirm the photocatalytic elimination of E. coli in water samples with remaining bacteria below 1% of the initial concentration during the experiment time (30 min for laboratory tests and 1.5 h for pilot plant tests).

In this paper we describe the synthesis of a core-shell material using yttrium superconducting ceramic material (YBCO) and cobalt ferrite nanoparticles in order to obtain a nanostructured material with magnetic properties. The advantages of such material aim the selective deposition of nanofilms oriented in magnetic fields. To obtain this core-shell material, the solutions of the nitrates were first obtained by dissolving the salts in demineralised water. The suspension with cobalt ferrite nanoparticles was obtained by co-precipitation method. To obtain YBa2Cu3O7-�- coated magnetic nanoparticles by autocombustion reaction the solutions of nitrates and citric acid were used. The ratio of the metal ions: Y:Ba:Cu was 1:2:3, and between the oxidant and the reducing agent was used a citrate / nitrate mass ratio equal with 0.7. The final material was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), electronic scanning microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM).

Aim and Objective: Methyldopa is one of the medications that is used for the treatment of hypertension. Therefore, the determination of methyldopa in the presence of other biological components is essential. In this work, a promising electrochemical sensor based on CoFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrode (CoFe2O4/GCE) was developed for electrochemical determination of methyldopa in the presence of uric acid. Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical method. Materials and Methods: Characterizing the CoFe2O4 was investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and cyclic voltammetry techniques. Results: Under the optimal experimental conditions, the current response of the electrochemical sensor obtained with differential pulse voltammetry was increased linearly in the concentration range from 1.45 to 15.1 μmol L−1 with the detection limit of 1.07 μmol L−1 for methyldopa. Also, by using the proposed method, methyldopa and uric acid could be analyzed in a mixture independently. The difference in peak potential for analytes is about 150 mV. Conclusion: The present sensor was successfully applied for the determination of methyldopa in the presence of uric acid in biological samples and the pharmaceutical samples with satisfactory results.

Energy-variable X-ray diffraction at a synchrotron beamline has been used to control the X-ray penetration depth and thus to study structural parameters in polycrystalline and textured materials with depth resolution. This approach was applied to the investigation of the depth evolution of microstructure in the nacre layer of bivalvia seashells. According to conventional X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, the nacre layer in the seashells ofAcanthocardia tuberculataunder investigation consists of large [001]-oriented lamellae packed nearly parallel to the inner shell surface. In this paper, attention is focused on the microstructural information that can be extracted from the shapes of diffraction profiles (line profile analysis) measured at X-ray energies that are varied by small steps. Depth dependences of the thickness of the lamellae and the average microstrain fluctuation are revealed.

A low-cost green and reproducible yeast (<em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em>) mediated biosynthesis of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles is reported. The synthesis is performed at close to room temperature in the laboratory. X-ray, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy analyses are performed to ascertain the formation of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles. Individual nanoparticles, as well as a very few aggregate having the size of 3-15 nm, were found. The vibrating sample magnetometer measurement showed superparamagnetic behavior in cobalt ferrite nanoparticles. The mechanism involved in the biosynthesis of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles has also been discussed.
