Arsenic (As) contamination has emerged as a serious public health concern worldwide because of its accumulation and mobility through the food chain. Therefore, the current study was planned to check the effect of Bacillus subtilis-synthesized iron oxide nano particles (Fe3O4 NP) on rice (Oryza Sativa L.) growth against arsenic stress (0, 5, 10 and 15 ppm). Iron oxide nanoparticles were extracellular synthesized from Bacillus subtilis with a desired shape and size. The formations of nanoparticles were differentiated through UV-Visible Spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD and SEM. The UV-Visible spectroscopy of Bacillus subtilis-synthesized nanoparticles showed that the iron oxide surface plasmon band occurs at 268 nm. FTIR results revealed that different functional groups (aldehyde, alkene, alcohol and phenol) were present on the surface of nanoparticles. The SEM image showed that particles were spherical in shape with an average size of 67.28 nm. Arsenic toxicity was observed in seed germination and young seedling stage. The arsenic application significantly reduced seed germination (35%), root and shoots length (1.25 and 2.00 cm), shoot/root ratio (0.289), fresh root and shoots weight (0.205 and 0.260 g), dry root and shoots weight (6.55 and 6.75 g), dry matter percentage of shoot (12.67) and root (14.91) as compared to control. Bacillus subtilis-synthesized Fe3O4 NPs treatments (5 ppm) remarkably increased the germination (65%), root and shoot length (2 and 3.45 cm), shoot/root ratio (1.24) fresh root and shoot weight (0.335 and 0.275 mg), dry root and shoot weight (11.75 and 10.6 mg) and dry matter percentage of shoot (10.40) and root (18.37). Results revealed that the application of Fe3O4 NPs alleviated the arsenic stress and enhanced the plant growth. This study suggests that Bacillus subtilus-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles can be used as nano-adsorbents in reducing arsenic toxicity in rice plants.

The PEG-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs-PEG) was synthesized by coprecipitation and ultrasonication method. X-ray diffraction results exhibited that the average size of Fe3O4 NPs-PEG was 19.10 nm, which was further confirmed in TEM imaging. In addition, sonication time and curcumin concentration were studied to evaluate the efficiency of loading curcumin onto Fe3O4 NPs-PEG. Further, statistical optimization using response surface methodology (RSM) has shown curcumin concentration (0,01% w/v) and sonication time (21 min) for maximal curcumin loading (0.37 mg/g). Along with the magnetization studies, the immobilization of curcumin onto the Fe3O4 NPs-PEG was characterized by UV, FTIR and SEM. The results showed that the curcumin loaded PEG coated iron oxide nanoparticles could potentially be used for magnetically target drug delivery.

Fe3o4 Nps

Advances in nanotechnology in recent years has led to a number of diverse applications of nanomaterials. Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs), a representative of magnetic nanomaterials, has gained much attention of many researchers all over the world due to their unique properties such as superparamagnetism, biocompatibility and high magnetic saturation. With such properties, Fe3O4 NPs can be exploited in many fields, particularly biomedicine related fields such as cellular therapy, tissue repair, drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging, hyperthermia and magnetofection. However, owing to their self-aggregation of Fe3O4 NPs, it is necessary to coat Fe3O4 NPs with a stable and biocompatible silica layer. Therefore, in this report, Fe3O4 NPs were synthesized via a co-precipitation method using iron (II)/ iron (III) chloride, ammonia and trisodium citrate. Then, the silica layer was coated onto Fe3O4 NPs through the hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) in ethanol. The as-synthesized samples were charaterized with the infrared (IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The results proved that silica was successfully coated on Fe3O4 NPs. The particle sizes measured by TEM were found to be about 12 nm in diameter for Fe3O4 NPs and 45 nm in diameter for silica coated Fe3O4 (SiO2@Fe3O4) NPs, while the dynamic diameters measured by DLS for Fe3O4 NPs and SiO2@Fe3O4 NPs were 15.7 and 65.8 nm, respectively. Both Fe3O4 NPs and SiO2@Fe3O4 NPs were superparamagnetic materials in which Fe3O4 NPs have higher magnetic saturation (45.8 emu/g) than the other (13.4 emu/g).This study examines the: ……...Advances in nanotechnology in recent years has led to a number of diverse applications of nanomaterials.

Background: : Iron Oxide nanoparticles have enormous applications in environmental remediation and catalysis. The synthesis of such nanoparticles through a green approach provides a significant advantage due to the non-toxic nature of the ingredients involved. Method: : In the present work, Diospyros lotus fruit extract was used for the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs). The plant biomolecules were extracted employing two different solvents, i.e. water and methanol. The effect of both the extracts on the reduction of metal salt as well as on the shape and size of the produced NPs was investigated. Results:: UV-Visible spectroscopy confirmed the synthesis of iron oxide NPs, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrum depicted the presence of biomolecules on the surface of NPs as capping agents, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) diffractogram confirmed the crystalline structure of mixed iron oxide NPs and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images showed the spherical shape of NPs. The synthesized NPs were exploited to catalyze the degradation of methylene blue dye in the Fenton type catalytic reaction. The degradation reaction was monitored using UV-Visible spectroscopy, which indicated that the percent degradation increased from 15% (without iron oxide NPs) to 91% in the presence of organic extract prepared iron oxide NPs and to 81% in the presence of aqueous extract prepared iron oxide NPs. The effect of the concentration of methylene blue and iron oxide NPs on the degradation process was also investigated. Conclusion: : The results indicated the potential of synthesized nanoparticles to promote catalytic reactions involved in environmental remediation.

Background: The highly sensitive and selective detection of Cr3+ is critical. Objective: We report the development of poly(γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA)-functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles (γ-PGA-Fe3O4 NPs) as a magnetic nanosensor for magnetic resonance (MR) detection of trivalent chromium (Cr3+) in aqueous solution. Methods: The γ-PGA-Fe3O4 NPs with a mean particle size of 7.3 nm, good colloidal stability and ultrahigh r2 relaxivity (326.8 mM−1s−1) were synthesized via a facile mild reduction approach in the presence of γ-PGA, and used for MR detection of Cr3+. Results: Upon exposure to Cr3+, the γ-PGA-Fe3O4 NPs aggregated into nanoclusters as verified by dynamic light scattering due to the coordination of Cr3+ with γ-PGA side chain carboxyl groups, resulting in the decrease in their transverse relaxation time. This MR signal change enables detection of Cr3+ in a concentration range of 0.4-1 nM. We also show that the γ-PGA-Fe3O4 NPs have an excellent selectivity toward Cr3+ and a high recovery percentage of 83.8% or above. Conclusion: This study thus demonstrates that the developed γ-PGA-Fe3O4 NPs may be used as a nanoprobe for MR sensing of Cr3+ in water environment.
