ABSTRACTIodine release from silver iodide (AgI) to water was evaluated under reducing conditions in the presence of iron-bearing minerals, goethite (FeOOH), magnetite (Fe3O4) and Wüstite (FeO). The release tests were performed in a glove box purged with gas mixture (Ar+5%H2), and the concentrations of dissolved iodine, silver and iron were measured. The apparent equilibrium concentration of dissolved iodine was 4.0 ×10−8, 4.3×10−8 mol/l for the tests with FeOOH and Fe3O4, respectively. The values were almost the same as in the test without minerals. For the test with FeO, the concentration of dissolved iodine was 5.4×10−3 mol/l, which is five orders of magnitude higher than for the other tests. Solid phase analyses by using XRD and SEM/EDS indicated that metallic silver precipitated on the surface of the original AgI for the test with FeO and on the surface of Fe3O4 for the test with Fe3O4, but not for that with FeOOH. These results showed that only FeO could reduce AgI effectively to increase iodine release. The amount of dissolved Fe(II) was a key factor affecting AgI reduction instead of redox potential of solution. Kinetic processes may also play an important role in AgI reduction and associated iodine release under reducing condition.

The Fermi energy and the minimum size for silver ( Ag ) metallic clusters have been investigated by the electronic structure calculations using density functional theory method. The results reveal that the work function of clusters with metallicity has the same value as that of bulk metals. This result is interpreted by the role of localized surface states in a thin layer and furthermore it is deduced that a nonmetal layer exists at the surface of Ag bulk metals and their clusters. This layer-thickness is about the same as the lattice constant and the minimum diameter for metallic clusters is about twice of the layer-thickness.

Silver nanoparticles (SNPs) exhibit tremendous applications in medicine as antimicrobial agent.  The use of different parts of plants for the synthesis of nanoparticles is considered as a green technology as it does not involve any harmful chemicals.  In the present study, we report a rapid biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from aqueous leaf extract of medicinal plant Allamanda cathartica.  The active phytochemicals present in the plant were responsible for the quick reduction of silver ion to metallic silver nanoparticles. The reduced silver nanoparticles were characterized by using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-ray (EDAX) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).  The spherical shaped silver nanoparticles were observed and it was found to 19-40 nm range of size.  These phytosynthesized SNPs were tested for their antimicrobial activity and it analyzed by measuring the inhibitory zone. A. cathartica aqueous leaf extract of SNPs showed highest toxicity to Pseudomonas followed by Klebsiella, Bacillus and E. coli and lowest toxicity towards Proteus. In fungal species, highest inhibition zone was noted against Rhizopus followed by Curvularia, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger and minimum inhibition zone was observed against Fusarium species.  These results suggest a promising potential of Indian plant-based green chemistry for production of SNPs for biomedical and nanotechnology applications.
