Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized using the colloidal co-precipitation method and further coated with silica using the Stöber process. These were functionalized with carboxylic and amine functionalities for further covalent immobilization of antibodies on these MNPs. The procedure for covalent immobilization of antibodies on MNPs was developed using 1-ethyl-3-(dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS). The evaluation of the efficiency of the coupling reaction was carried out by UV-vis spectrophotometry. The developed antibodies coupled to MNPs were tested for the pre-concentration of two biomarkers tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and Interleukin-10 (IL-10). Both biomarkers were assessed in the matrix based on phosphate-buffered saline solution (PBS) and artificial saliva (AS) to carry out the demonstration of the format assay. Supernatants were used to determine the number of free biomarkers for both studies. Reduction of the nonspecific saliva protein adsorption on the surface of the complex antibodies-MNPs to levels low enough to allow the detection of biomarkers in complex media has been achieved.

: Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were prepared via a chemical co-precipitation method. Then, the surface of Fe3O4 MNPs was modified by (3-Chloropropyl)trimethoxysilane and then two Schiff-base complexes of zirconium oxide and copper were stabilized on modified Fe3O4 MNPs. These catalysts were characterized using SEM, EDS, WDX, FTIR, XRD, TGA, VSM and AAS techniques. The catalytic activity of these catalysts was described in the carbon-carbon coupling reaction. VSM analysis of these catalysts indicate the high magnetic performance, therefor these catalysts can be recovered by an external magnet and reused for several times without missing in the amount of catalysts. Reusability, excellent yields and high TON values indicate the high efficiency of these catalysts. Leaching of these catalysts was studied by AAS which leaching of copper or zirconium was not observed. Also, the stability of these catalysts was confirmed by characterization of recovered catalysts and comparing with fresh catalysts.

The La1‑xEuxVO4 powders were synthesized by co-precipitation method. Emission spectra of the LaEuVO4 and La1‑xEuxVO4 powders consist of wide non-structural bands of the matrix emission and narrow spectral lines caused by inner f-f electron transitions in the Eu3+ ions, respectively. The both types of emission were studied within 8 – 300 K temperature range. Decomposition of spectra of the wide matrix emission on three bands has been carried out and temperature dependencies for each band were studied. Temperature behavior of the Eu3+ emission was investigated for lines assigned to different Eu3+ centres. Obtained dependencies are analyzed and discussed using proposed schemes of transitions in the VO43- groups and structure of the nearest surrounding of the Eu3+ emission centres.

This study investigated the applicability of magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with chitosan (CMNs) for the removal of some toxic heavy metals from simulated wastewater. Magnetic nanomaterials were synthesized using the co-precipitation method and characterized by transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transformer infrared spectroscopy. The magnetic properties of the prepared magnetic nanoparticles were determined by a vibrating-sample magnetometer. Batch experiments were carried out to determine the adsorption kinetics of Cr(VI) and Cd(II) by magnetic nanoparticles. It is noteworthy that CMNs show a highly efficient adsorption capacity for low concentration Cr(VI) and Cd(II) ions solution, which can reach 98% within 10 min.

This study was steered to convert waste acid ensued from the pickling process in steel industries to an esteemed nanocomposite for the elimination of heavy metals (HMs) from wastewater. Magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4) preparation from waste was performed by the co-precipitation method. These magnetic nanoparticles are modified by carboxymethyl-a-cyclodextrin polymer (CM-a-CD) through copolymerization reactions. The data obtained from FTIR, XRD, and TEM point up that CM-a-CD is entrenched onto Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The generated CM-a-CD / Fe3O4 was employed for HMs deportation from contaminated water and the adsorption results revealed that CM-a-CD/ Fe3O4 sorption efficiency was in the order of Pb(II) ] Cd(II) ] Cr(VI). The highest adsorption capacity was 64.2 (mg/g) for Pb(II). The kinetic study revealed that the HMs sorption by CM-a-CD/ Fe3O4 follows the pseudo-second-order model. The equilibrium modeling study proved that the Langmuir isotherm model was more fitting. The coexisting ions do not significantly alter the percentage removal of the measured metal ions. The efficiency of the synthesized polymer is particularly high in the tested field samples. Thus, CM-a-CD/ Fe3O4 has an extremely high adsorption capability in the field application as well as excellent reusability results, which will reduce the cost for the CM-a-CD / Fe3O4 as an adsorbent for wastewater treatment.

Magnetite (Fe3O4) is getting popular due to its super-paramagnetic properties, high biocompatibility and lack of toxicity to humans. Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles have high surface energy thus these nanoparticles aggregate quickly. This aggregation strongly affects the efficiency of these nanoparticles. So these magnetite nanoparticles are coated with organic or inorganic substance to prevent aggregation. These coatings not only stabilize magnetic nanoparticles but can also be used for further functionalization. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of functionalized magnetite to remove pathogenic bacteria (E.coli and B.cereus) from milk considering binding capability of magnetite with bacterial cell wall. Magnetite (Fe3O4) was prepared by co-precipitation method and subsequently functionalized with oleic acid (OA) and ethylene diamine (EDA). In present study role of magnetite (Fe3O4) and functionalized magnetite (EDA-Fe3O4, OA-Fe3O4) in removal of pathogenic bacteria (E.coli and B.cereus) from milk was investigated. The morphology of functionalized magnetite was determined by Scanning Electron microscopy (SEM). Their removal efficiency was studied based on time (10, 20 and 30 minutes). Concentration of uncoated magnetite (Fe3O4) and coated magnetite (EDA-Fe3O4, OA-Fe3O4) was fixed at 4mg/50mL. Magnetite was successfully synthesized in range of and#177;3nm. Highest capturing efficiency (74.45%) of oleic acid magnetite (OA-Fe3O4) was observed for Bacillus cereus at 30 minutes. However for Escherichia coli, both ethylene-diamine magnetite (EDA-Fe3O4) and oleic acid magnetite (OA-Fe3O4) showed maximum capturing efficiency (61.65% and 63.91% respectively). It was concluded from the study that magnetite coated with oleic acid and ethylenediamine removed pathogenic bacteria from milk efficiently. However, more research is required to study the effect of these magnetic nanoparticles on nutritional composition of milk.

In this work, Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles with high peroxidase-like catalytic activity and spontaneous pH adjustment ability were successfully prepared by co-precipitation method followed by appropriate thermal treatment. Key synthesis factors were identified and adjusted to tailor the crystallinity, chemical composition and then catalytic property. The crystal structure and Fe (II) content of the catalyst strongly affected its degradation efficiency. Phenol was completely removed by the optimal magnetic nanoparticles under a wide range of pH from 3.0 to 8.0. Additionally, this catalyst exhibited low iron leaching, good reusability and excellent potential to eliminate various organic pollutants from waste water. The reaction mechanism was discussed in terms of the formation of HO• and O2•−/HO2• radicals.

Over the past few decades, magnetite nanoparticle has been profusely because of their wide range of applications. The co-precipitation method is the simplest and suitable method for the preparation of this nanoparticle. It goes through several reaction steps for the formation of various phases of magnetic nanoparticles. Goethite (FeO(OH)), is one of the intermediates, and it drastically suppressed with the magnetic properties of the Fe oxide phase. In our study, it was shown that at 30°C temperature pure magnetic nanoparticles is formed. But when precipitation temperature is increase to 80°C, goethite is also present with the magnetite nanoparticle. Hence, it is deduced that precipitation temperature plays a significant role in accelerating goethite phase formation when synthesising magnetite nanoparticle by this precipitation method. Data obtained from Raman spectroscopy and XRD supported the above observation.
