In the biotechnology field, nanoparticles with a strong magnetic moment can bring attractive and novel potentialities. They are detectable, manipulable, stimulable by a magnetic field and they could be applied as nano-tracers for medical imaging and nano-vectors for transporting therapeutic agents to a target. For our part, we applied Fe3O4 nanoparticles to immobilize bacteria of Moroccan strains in order to develop bacterial bioreactor. For this aim, we got through the synthesis and characterization of magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles by co-precipitation in basic medium. The obtained nanoparticles were encapsulated in silica by sol-gel process. The results of this step allowed us to use Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles to immobilize Bacillus licheniformis by adsorption and separate it magnetically. The principle of this system gives us the opportunity to develop a bacterial bioreactor for industrial applications.

Magnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles have attracted a great deal of attention in both fundamental research and practical applications over the past decades. Down to the nanoscale, superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles with only a single magnetic domain exhibit high magnetic susceptibility, which provides a stronger and faster magnetic response. Their superparamagnetic properties together with other intrinsic properties such as low toxicity, high surface area-to-volume ratio and simple separation methodology, making them ideal for environmental remediation, biomedical, and agricultural applications. This review discusses three conventional wet chemical methods, including chemical co-precipitation, sol-gel synthesis and thermal decomposition for the preparation of superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles with controlled size and magnetic properties. Nowadays, with the growing research interest in Fe3O4 nanoparticles, there is a great amount of researches reported on efficient routes to prepare size-controlled magnetic nanoparticles. Thus, this review is designed to report the recent information from synthesis to the characterization of Fe3O4 nanoparticles as well as the discussion of future perspective in this research area.

The nanocomposite particles named as ?-Al2O3/Fe3O4/SiO2/poly(glycidyl methacrylate) or ?-Al2O3/Fe3O4/SiO2/PGMA were prepared by multi-step process. At first, ?- Al2O3 nanoparticles were prepared by sol-gel method. Magnetite, Fe3O4, nanoparticles were then precipitated by in situ co-precipitation in presence of ?-Al2O3 particles, followed by incorporation of mesoporous silica layer using Stöber process. Finally, the surface of the ?-Al2O3/Fe3O4/SiO2 nanocomposite particles was modified by seeded polymerization of GMA using free radical polymerization. The surface modification, morphology and size distribution of the prepared nanocomposite particles were confirmed by FTIR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption capacity of ?-Al2O3/Fe3O4/SiO2/PGMA nanocomposite particles was evaluated using remazol navy RGB (RN-RGB) as a model dye.
