5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) has been synthesized under solvent free conditions using surface modified ferrite nanoparticles. The flexible ligand modified ferrites showed higher activity than rigid modified ferrites.

Objectives:This study investigates the adsorption capacity of magnetic biochar (KB-Fe) derived from kelp for two dyes, Congo red (CR) and crystal violet (CV), which have different charge characteristics. The adsorption capacities were compared to magnetic biochar (PB-Fe) derived from pine.Methods:Pristine biochars (KB, PB) were produced through the pyrolysis of kelp and pine sawdust at 500℃. Magnetic biochars (KB-Fe, PB-Fe) were produced by treatment of 60 g of biomass in 1 L of 0.1 M FeCl<sub>3</sub>・6H<sub>2</sub>O and pyrolysis of the raw materials at 500℃. The fundamental characteristics of the biochars were analyzed, and the adsorption capacities of the biochars for the CR and CV dyes were evaluated based on two adsorption isotherm models, two adsorption kinetics models, and adsorption characteristics based on changes to the pH between 5 and 11.Results and discussion:CR adsorption by all biochars decreased with an increase in pH. When KB and PB were surface-modified with magnetic iron oxides, their adsorption capacity for CR increased. CV adsorption by all biochars increased with pH. When KB and PB were surface-modified with magnetic iron oxides, their adsorption capacity for CV considerably decreased. According to the Langmuir isotherm model, the adsorption capacity for CR was in the order of KB-Fe, KB, PB-Fe, and PB, and the adsorption capacity for CV was in the order of KB, PB, PB-Fe, and KB-Fe. The CR adsorption was better described by the pseudo-second order kinetics model for all biochars, with the exception of KB-Fe. CV adsorption was also better described by the pseudo-second order kinetics model for all biochars, with the exception of KB.Conclusions:The results show that kelp biochar has great potential for the adsorptive removal of CR and CV compared to pine-based biochar. In addition, it was demonstrated that surface modification of kelp biochar with magnetic iron oxides can significantly improve its adsorptive capacity for anionic dyes; however, its adsorptive capacity for cationic dyes decreases.

The goal of this experimental study was to present a comparative analysis of iron oxides powders obtained by two alternative methods, i.e. the co-precipitation at high temperature from aqueous reaction medium of iron oxides and, respectively, the solvent free method for the preparation magnetite at room temperature. Vibrational absorption spectra evidenced the dominancy of magnetite in both samples, while the X-ray diffractograms revealed the submicron size as well as the presence of additional iron oxide, in the second sample prepared by solvent free method.

Over the past several years, it has become increasingly evident that materials for proposed advanced energy systems will be required to operate at high temperatures and in aggressive environments. These constraints make structural ceramics attractive materials for these systems. However it is well known that the condition of the specimen surface of ceramic materials is often critical in controlling properties such as fracture toughness, oxidation resistance, and wear resistance. Ion implantation techniques offer the potential of overcoming some of the surface related limitations.While the effects of implantation on surface sensitive properties may be measured indpendently, it is important to understand the microstructural evolution leading to these changes. Analytical electron microscopy provides a useful tool for characterizing the microstructures produced in terms of solute concentration profiles, second phase formation, lattice damage, crystallinity of the implanted layer, and annealing behavior. Such analyses allow correlations to be made with theoretical models, property measurements, and results of complimentary techniques.
