Rhodamine B can be used as a fluorophore to produce fluorescent silica nanoparticles derived from geothermal sludge. The purpose of this research is to synthesize fluorescent silica nanoparticles (FSNP) modified with rhodamine B and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) using sol-gel method. Geothermal waste was used as a precursor and added with NaOH at 900C to generate sodium silicate. Rhodamine B, as the fluorescent dye were added with concentration variations ranging from 0.156 mg/g to 10 mg/g.CTAB was used as template and HCl 2N was applied as gelling catalyst with aging time of 18 hours. Characterization of FSNP was measured using spectrofluorometer to identify the fluorescent intensity, fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) to determine the functional group of FSNP, Brauner-Emmett-Teller (BET) adsorption to calculate the specific area of the particles, X-ray diffraction (XRD) to analyze the crystallographic phases, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to analyze the surface morphology of the FSNP. FT-IR and fluorescent intensity results showed that FSNP with 2.5 mg/g of rhodamine B had the optimum characteristics. The FSNP was in amorphous phase with uniform pore distribution. BET analysis showed that the specific surface of the FSNP was 190.22 m2/g.

Functionalized fluorescent silica nanoparticles were designed and synthesized to selectively target cancer cells for bioimaging analysis. The synthesis method and characterization of functionalized fluorescent silica nanoparticles (50–60 nm), as well as internalization and subcellular localization in HeLa cells is reported here. The dye, rhodamine 101 (R101) was physically embedded during the sol–gel synthesis. The dye loading was optimized by varying the synthesis conditions (temperature and dye concentration added to the gel) and by the use of different organotriethoxysilanes as a second silica precursor. Additionally, R101, was also covalently bound to the functionalized external surface of the silica nanoparticles. The quantum yields of the dye-doped silica nanoparticles range from 0.25 to 0.50 and demonstrated an enhanced brightness of 230–260 fold respect to the free dye in solution. The shell of the nanoparticles was further decorated with PEG of 2000 Da and folic acid (FA) to ensure good stability in water and to enhance selectivity to cancer cells, respectively. In vitro assays with HeLa cells showed that fluorescent nanoparticles were internalized by cells accumulating exclusively into lysosomes. Quantitative analysis showed a significantly higher accumulation of FA functionalized fluorescent silica nanoparticles compared to nanoparticles without FA, proving that the former may represent good candidates for targeting cancer cells.

Porous TiO2-Al2O3 composite materials were prepared through sol-gel method after calcination at 500 oC for different time. FT-IR spectra of porous TiO2-Al2O3 composite materials revealed that the samples are composed of Al2O3 and TiO2. The sample calcinated for 2.5 h had the maximum specific area of 128.9 m2•g-1. High pore volume and average pore size were possessed by the samples calcinated for 1 h and 3 h. While being calcinated at 500 oC, photocatalytic activities of the materials increased at first and then dropped down with the increasing calcination time. The sample calcinated for 3 h showed the maximum activity of 35%.

AbstractThis work reports the sol-gel synthesis of silica hybrids. We determined the effect of the type and quantity of silica precursors and organic compounds on the resulting structure, surface area, nanostructure design and size, and potential applications. The structure of the synthesized hybrids was analyzed using FT-IR, XRD, BET-Analysis, SEM, and AFM. We demonstrate the immovilization of whole living thermophilic bacterial cells with cyanocompound degradation activity in the synthesized silica hybrid biomaterials by entrapment, chemical binding, and adsorption.

The development of silica nanoparticles from the waste of geothermal power plants and their subsequent modification using a fluorescent dye, rhodamine 6G (R-6G), has been reported. The optimum specific surface area of the silica nanoparticles before modification was 289.2 m2 g–1. After modification, the intrinsic properties of the fluorescent silica nanoparticles were studied, and the results showed that they were in their amorphous phase, with a particle size of 5–10 nm. We proposed that the interaction between R-6G and the silica nanoparticle surface was due to the hydrogen bonding, using the results from the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The obtained fluorescent silica nanoparticles had excellent fluorescence enhancement of 2-fold compared to R-6G in its original state. This study reports, for the first time, the synthesis of fluorescent nanoparticles from geothermal silica and its ability to visualize latent fingerprints on different smooth dry surfaces, making it an excellent candidate for fluorescent powders in forensic applications.

AbstractWe have previously shown that the C-terminal region of the intermediate subunit ofEntamoeba histolyticagalactose- andN-acetyl-D-galactosamine-inhibitable lectin (C-Igl) is a useful antigen for serodiagnosis of amebiasis. An immunochromatographic kit was developed using fluorescent silica nanoparticles coated with C-Igl prepared inEscherichia coli. Samples for examination were added to the freeze-dried particles and then applied to the immunochromatographic device, in which a test line on the membrane was also coated with C-Igl. Fluorescent intensity was measured using a hand-held reader. In an evaluation of the kit using a human monoclonal antibody, the minimum amount of C-Igl specific antibody showing positive results was 100 pg. In the evaluation of serum samples with different antibody titers in indirect immunofluorescent antibody tests in the kit, 20µL of serum was sufficient to obtain positive results at 30 min. Serum samples from symptomatic patients with amebic colitis and amebic liver abscess and those from asymptomaticE. histolytica-cyst carriers showed positive results in the kit. Based on evaluation using sera from healthy controls and patients with other infectious diseases, the sensitivity and specificity of the kit were 100 and 97.6%, respectively. Therefore, we conclude that the newly developed kit is useful for rapid serodiagnosis of amebiasis.

Abstract In this work, novel composite magnetic nanoparticles (CuFe2O4) were synthesizedbased on sol-gel combustion in the laboratory. Next,a simple production method was optimized for the preparation of the copper nanoferrites (CuFe2O4), which are stable in water, magnetically active, and have a high specific area used as sorbent material for organic dye extraction in water solution. CuFe2O4 nanopowders were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FTIR spectroscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The size range of the nanoparticles obtained in such conditions was estimated by SEM images to be 35–45 nm. The parameters influencing the extraction of CuFe2O4 nanoparticles, such as desorption solvent, amount of sorbent, desorption time, sample pH, ionic strength, and extraction time, were investigatedand optimized. Under the optimum conditions, a linear calibration curve in the range of 0.75–5.00μg/L with R2 = 0.9996 was obtained. The LOQ (10Sb) and LOD (3Sb) of the method were 0.75 and 0.25 μg/L (n = 3), respectively. The RSD for a water sample spiked with 1 μg/L rhodamine B was 3% (n = 5). The method was applied for the determination of rhodamine B in tap water, dishwashing foam, dishwashing liquid, and shampoo samples. The relative recovery percentages for these samples were in the range of 95–99%.

Abstract Chlorothalonil is widely used to control fungal diseases and it is usually detected in the environment. Phototransformation is an important process to remove chlorothalonil from the aquatic environment. The mesoporous ammonium phosphotungstate/silica catalyst (NH4PW/SiO2) was synthesized from cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as raw materials by adding insoluble ammonium phosphotungstate into the alkaline alcohol–water system by the sol-gel method. The structure of NH4PW/SiO2 was characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The photocatalytic activity of NH4PW/SiO2 was evaluated by using the organic pesticide chlorothalonil as a model reactant. The result indicated that when the dosage of NH4PW/SiO2 is 0.02 g, the illumination is 180 min, the concentration of chlorothalonil is 5 mg/L, pH = 5, the degradation effect is better, and the degradation rate reaches 83.23%. The results contributed to the understanding of chlorothalonil phototransformation and the potential of mesoporous SiO2 to effectively enhance the photocatalytic activity of NH4PW (64.16%) to reduce aquatic toxicity and pollution by chlorothalonil.
