AbstractIn the present work, synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) using continuous flow microreactor (MR) and advanced flow™ reactor (AFR™) has been investigated with evaluation of the efficacy of the two types of MRs. Effect of the different operating parameters on the characteristics of the obtained NPs has also been investigated. The synthesis of iron oxide NPs was based on the co-precipitation and reduction reactions using iron (III) nitrate precursor and sodium hydroxide as reducing agents. The iron oxide NPs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The mean particle size of the obtained NPs was less than 10 nm at all flow rates (over the range of 20−60 ml/h) in the case of spiral MR, while, in the case of AFR™, the particle size of NPs was below 20 nm with no specific trend observed with the operating flow rates. The XRD and TEM analyses of iron oxide NPs confirmed the crystalline nature and nanometer size range, respectively. Further, magnetic properties of the synthesized iron oxide NPs were studied using electron spin resonance spectroscopy; the resonance absorption peak shows theg-factor values as 2.055 and 2.034 corresponding to the magnetic fields of 319.28 and 322.59 mT for MR and AFR™, respectively.

Iron oxide nanoparticles were made using celery extract by chemical method with change PH. Bio-materials in celery extract synthesized the iron oxide nanoparticles by reducing iron (III) chloride (FeCl3) and then acted as both capping and stabilizing agents. The iron oxide NPs were characterized by XRD, SEM, and UV–vis techniques. The change PH affected the size, shape, and purity of iron oxide NPs. XRD results showed Crystallite size increased from 16.71nm to 21.65nm as pH was increased from 1.6 to 12. SEM images showed that the particle size of (α-Fe2O3) NPs was around 40.06 nm, while increasing PH showed different shapes in the same sample.  The particle size became approximately 45.56 and 61.22 nm. UV–vis measurements showed the energy band increased from 3.11eV to 5.11eV. The antimicrobial activity of iron oxide NPs was determined by growth inhibition zones of the negative gram bacteria E. coli, Klebsiella spp, and gram-positive bacteria S. aureus, S. epidermidis, and fungal Candida albicans. The zones for (α-Fe2O3) NPs when PH 1.6 was between (12-13) mm. The zones for (α-Fe2O3) NPs when PH 12 was a little higher between (13-15) mm.

Nowadays, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles are an important tool for cancer treatment, such as magnetic hyperthermia. The goal is heating diseased tissue and then tumor cells are destroyed. Magnetic nanoparticles are promising mainly because they have specific ability to reduce side effects. However, forin vivoapplications, nanoparticles need to be coated by a biocompatible material. In this work, nanoparticles are coated by PEG (biocompatible polymer). Samples were produced by coprecipitation process. Information about particle size, magnetic properties and crystallinity were obtained.

Nanoparticles have gained large interest in a number of different fields due to their unique properties. In medical applications, for example, magnetic nanoparticles can be used for targeting, imaging, magnetically induced thermotherapy, or for any combination of the three. However, it is still a challenge to obtain narrowly dispersed, reproducible particles through a typical lab-scale synthesis when researching these materials. Here, we present a droplet capillary reactor that can be used for the synthesis of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. Compared to conventional batch synthesis, the particles synthesized in our droplet reactor have a narrower size distribution and a higher reproducibility. Furthermore, we demonstrate how the particle size can be changed from 5.2 ± 0.9 nm to 11.8 ± 1.7 nm by changing the reaction temperature and droplet residence time in the droplet capillary reactor.

Nano-crystalline Fe3O4 particles has been synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method. The synthesized samples were annealed at different temperature 300 °C, 500 °C, 700 °C. The effect of annealing temperature on structural properties of synthesized sample has been studied by various analytical techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The X-ray diffraction patterns confirm the synthesis of single crystalline phase of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The crystallite size of synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles is about 7 nm. The crystallinity of iron oxide nanoparticles is enhanced by annealing treatment which is also confirmed by corresponding SEM and TEM micrographs. A phase transition from magnetite (Fe3O4) to hematite (α-F2O3) is observed when the samples are annealed above 500 °C. The fundamental groups of the iron oxide and annealed samples have been identified from FTIR spectrum. The particle size calculated from TEM images for the Fe3O4 sample varies in the range 5–20 nm and it has been observed that the particle size increases on annealing.
