Abstract A series of core-shell magnetic nanomaterials have been synthesized with the intent of applying them for metal ion capture in a newly designed pipeline reactor. The synthetic chemistry is an extension of a previously developed family of materials based on amorphous silica gel, which has been used in the mining and remediation industries. The nanoparticles were characterized by infrared spectroscopy and TEM and SEM techniques. The size of the starting magnetite core was critical to the behavior of the particles under metal sequestering conditions. The capture kinetics of the resulting nanoagregates is 10 times faster than related micro composites. All of the tests performed point to the future successful development of a technology that circumvents the disadvantages associated with the use of column based microparticles.

Organic-inorganic hybrid polymers have been demonstrated to be an efficient technique for the adsorption of pollutants present in water. Silica gel adsorbent has been applied in this field due to promising characters, such as thermally stable, reusability and high metal ion adsorption capacities. Here, silica gel supported acrylonitrile functional group (silica-APTS-DPN) was reacted with hydroxylamine to yield silica gel supported amidoxime ligand (SBA). All the functionalized silica gel adsorbents were characterized by FTIR. In terms of metal ions adsorption, SBA revealed good absorption capacities towards both copper (Cu2+) (172 mg g-1) and iron (Fe3+) (168 mg g-1) ions at pH 6 and followed the order of Cu2+ > Fe3+. Increased pH condition was beneficial for both metal ions adsorption. The adsorption kinetics of both ions followed the pseudo-first-order model within 0-60 min of adsorption time. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were both applied to study the adsorption behaviour, Freundlich isotherm model (R2 > 0.99) proved to be a better fit, which propose that multilayer adsorption occurred on the silica gel grafted with amidoxime ligand. Finally, this study proved that the silica gel supported amidoxime ligand was successfully applied as an absorbent for the removal of both copper and iron from aqueous media.

Herein we report the synthesis and characterization of β-CD functionalized core-shell Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles which were used as an adsorbent for removal of Lead (II) and Copper (II) ions from aqueous solution. Various characterization techniques including FTIR, TGA analysis, SEM, TEM, X-Ray diffraction patterns (XRD) and nitrogen adsorption- desorption measurements were employed to investigate the properties of the synthesized material. The influence of pH, contact time, metal ion concentration, adsorbent dosage of Lead (II) and Copper (II) ion removal were also studied. The isotherm models for both ions showed a fit to the Langmuir model. Thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy were also evaluated and the negative values of ΔH for both Lead (II) and Copper (II) ions indicated the exothermic nature their sorption.

Kinetics of Carbon Tetrachloride biodegradation are evaluated in a continuous-flow fixed-biofilm reactor with controlled initial redox potential. The column was seeded with a mixed culture of indigenous microorganisms Pseudomonas cepacia and Providencia stuartii. The fixed biofilm reactor exhibited 98%–99.9% biodegradation of CT introduced into the reactor at an initial concentration of about 200 μg/l for retention times of 1 to 4 days respectively. Four models were employed to evaluate the kinetics of CT biodegradation. These included: Eckenfelder (1989), Arvin (1991), Bouwer and McCarty (1985) and a biphasic model. Comparison of calculated results with observed results between these models agreed very closely to each other (0.968 < R2 < 0.999). Predicted performance was best described by the model of Bouwer and McCarty (1985). However, the biphasic and Eckenfelder models provided excellent correlations and were much simpler to apply. The biphasic model yielded very good correlations of the data for all detention times evaluated; whereas, the Eckenfelder model effected comparable results only at the longer retention times studied.

The kinetics of the reactions of iron(III) with 6-methyl-2,4-heptanedione and 3,5-heptanedione to form the corresponding monocomplexes have been studied spectrophotometrically in the range 5 °C to 16 °C at I 25 mol l-1 in aqueous solution. In the proposed mechanism for the two complexes, the enol form reacts with the metal ion by parallel acid-independent and inverse-acid paths. The kinetic constants for both pathways have been calculated at five temperatures. Activation parameters have also been calculated. The results are consistent with an associative activation for Fe(H2O)63+ and dissociative activation for Fe(H2O)5(OH)2+. The differences in the results for the complexes of heptanediones studied are interpreted in terms of steric factors.

Abstract Recently, gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles have drawn the interest of researchers due to their unique magneto-plasmonic characteristics. Previous research has found that the magneto-optical Faraday effect of gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles can be effectively enhanced because of the surface plasmon resonance of the gold shell. Furthermore, gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles are ideal for biomedical applications because of their high stability and biocompatibility. In this work, we synthesized Fe3O4@Au core-shell nanoparticles and coated streptavidin (STA) on the surface. Streptavidin is a protein which can selectively bind to biotin with a strong affinity. STA is widely used in biotechnology research including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), time-resolved immunofluorescence (TRFIA), biosensors, and targeted pharmaceuticals. The Faraday magneto-optical characteristics of the biofunctionalized Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles were measured and studied. We showed that the streptavidin-coated Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles still possessed the enhanced magneto-optical Faraday effect. As a result, the possibility of using biofunctionalized Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles for magneto-optical biomedical assays should be explored.
