Water pollution by anthropogenic activities is proving to be of critical concern as the heavy metals affect aquatic organisms and can quickly disperse to large distances. This poses a risk to both human health and the aquatic biota. Hence, there is a need to treat the wastewater containing toxic metals before they are discharged into the water bodies. During recent years, magnetic nanoparticles came to the foreground of scientific interest as a potential adsorbent of novel wastewater treatment processes. Magnetic nanoparticles have received much attention due to their unique properties, such as extremely small size, high surface-area-to-volume ratio, surface modifiability, multi functionality, excellent magnetic properties, low-cost synthesis, and great biocompatibility. The multi-functional magnetic nanoparticles have been successfully applied for the reduction of toxic metal ions up to ppb level in waste-treated water. This chapter highlights the potential application of magnetic nanoparticles for the removal of heavy metals.

One-dimensional (1D) inorganic semiconductor nanostructures have witnessed an explosion of interest over the last decade because of advances in their controlled synthesis and unique property and potential applications. A wide range of gases, chemicals, biomedical nanosensors, and photodetectors have been assembled using 1D inorganic semiconductor nanostructures. The high-performance characteristics of these nanosensors are particularly attributable to the inorganic semiconducting nanostructure high surface-to-volume ratio (SVR) and its rationally designed surface. In this review, we provide a brief summary of the state-of-the-art research activities in the field of 1D inorganic semiconductor nanostructure-based nanosensors. Some perspectives and the outlook for future developments in this area are presented.

We presented synthesis and physical characterization of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4) for biomedical applications in the size range of 10-30 nm. Magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by the coprecipitation method, and the particles’ size was controlled by two different injection methods of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The synthesized magnetic nanoparticles were then modified by using series of linkers including tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), and glutaraldehyde (GA) to generate the structure of Fe3O4/SiO2/NH2/CHO, which can be used for immobilization of protein A. Additionally, we used transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), vibrating-sample magnetometry (VSM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), for characterization of properties and structure of the nanoparticles. An immobilization of protein A on magnetic nanoparticles was studied with a UV-Vis spectrum (UV-Vis) and fluorescence electron microscopy and Bradford method. Results showed that an XRD spectrum with a peak at (311) corresponded to the standard peak of magnetic nanoparticles. In addition, the magnetic nanoparticles with d≥30 nm have higher saturation magnetizations in comparison with the smaller ones with d≤10 nm. However, the smaller magnetic nanoparticles offered higher efficiency for binding of protein A, due to the high surface/volume ratio. These particles with functional groups on their surface are promising candidates for biomedical applications, e.g., drug delivery, controlled drug release, or disease diagnosis in point-of-care test.

AbstractElectrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is one of the crucial reactions for converting renewable electricity into chemical fuel in the form of hydrogen. To date, there is still a challenge in designing ideal cost-effective OER catalysts with excellent activity and robust durability. The hybridization of transition metal oxides and carbonaceous materials is one of the most effective and promising strategies to develop high-performance electrocatalysts. Herein, this work synthesized hybrids of NiFe2O4 spinel materials with two-dimensional (2D) graphene oxide and one-dimensional (1D) carbon nanotubes using a facile solvothermal approach. Electrocatalytic activities of NiFe2O4 with 2D graphene oxide toward OER were realized to be superior even to the 1D carbon nanotube-based electrocatalyst in terms of overpotential to reach a current density of 10 mA/cm2 as well as Tafel slopes. The NiFe2O4 with 2D graphene oxide hybrid exhibits good stability with an overpotential of 327 mV at a current density of 10 mA/cm2 and a Tafel slope of 103 mV/dec. The high performance of NiFe2O4 with 2D graphene oxide is mainly attributed to its unique morphology, more exposed active sites, and a porous structure with a high surface area. Thus, an approach of hybridizing a metal oxide with a carbonaceous material offers an attractive platform for developing an efficient electrocatalyst for water electrochemistry applications.

In this paper are presented the experimental results obtained in the study of applicability of ferromagnetic nanoparticles in the retention of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. The influence of magnetic nanoparticles based on iron, cobalt and nickel on turbidity, pH, permanganate index, aluminum, copper, cadmium and lead was studied. The study shows that conventional water treatment systems combined with acrylic polymer can be improved by adding magnetic nanoparticles. Experimental data has shown that the presence of magnetic nanoparticles based on iron, cobalt and/or nickel increases the efficiency of the treatment system and is reflected by all analyzed parameters.

This paper presents the design and CFD analysis of a 3-D, active micro convective heat sink having high surface-to-volume ratio geometry. The heat sink consists of an array of elemental units arranged in parallel. Each unit is constructed as a network of nearly fractal geometry. The design of each unit uses the constructal method to minimize the point-to-point temperature difference within the heat sink and Murray’s Law to minimize pressure drop across the device. The heat sink is designed for the tape casting fabrication method using thick silver film techniques and co–fired with low temperature co-fired ceramic substrate. To analyze fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of the design, we use the Fluent CFD software. The numerical results are presented to validate the theoretical optimization and outline the ultra-high performance characteristics of the heat sink such as the overall thermal resistance, pumping power and effectiveness.
