Modified rapeseed oil(MRO) was prepared by using rapeseed oil, ethylene diamine and acrylic acid as the raw materials. Modified rapeseed oil/montmorillonite(MRO/MMT) nanocomposite was prepared by using modified rapeseed oil and montmorillonite. The emulsifying properties of MRO and MRO/MMT were determined respectively. Fourier transforms infrared spectrometry (FT-IR) and Transmission Electron microscope (TEM) results showed that MRO/MMT was prepared successfully. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that modified rapeseed oil could smoothly enter the interlayer of montmorillonite, and modified the montmorillonite; with an increase in the amount of montmorillonite, the layer spacing of montmorillonite in the MRO/MMT lower after the first increase. The results of emulsifying properties indicated that emulsifying properties of MRO/MMT was better than MRO.

We report the use of biochar and Fe3O4 nanoparticles as co-stabilizers for oil-in-water (o/w) Pickering emulsion. The emulsion is subsequently used to prepare magnetic tetracycline-imprinted biochar composite microspheres (MMIPMs) with good uniformity and high selectivity. The MMIPMs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunner-Emmet-Teller (BET) measurements, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA). The adsorption properties of tetracycline to the MMIPMs were investigated using different adsorption experiments including adsorption kinetic experiment, equilibrium binding experiment, selectivity evaluation and competitive adsorption tests. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of the MMIPMs (15.45 mg g−1) was greater than that of the raw biochar (2.10 mg g−1) and non-imprinted biochar composite microspheres (3.39 mg g−1) for tetracycline. Further, the MMIPMs were used as adsorbent for magnetic solid phase extraction (SPE) for the extraction of tetracycline present in drinking water, milk, fish and chicken samples. Under optimal conditions, the results showed good recovery yield ranging from 88.41% to 106.29% with a relative standard deviation (RSD) ranging from 0.35% to 6.83%, respectively.

Different kinds of anionic polyhydric alcohols water-borne polyurethane (WPU) emulsion and films were prepared by separately taking polypropylene carbonate polyol (PPC), polyethylene-1,4-buthylene adipate glycol (PBA) and polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG) with the same molecular weight as soft segment. Their structure and properties were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), rigidity, adhesive power, contact angle and water absorption. Comparing their properties, it was found that the rigidity, adhesive power and water resistance of PPC WPU were similar to those of PBA WPU.

NiO nanoparticles were successfully prepared by decomposing the predecessor bis(glycinato)nickel(II)dihydrate in the presence of oleylamine and triphenylphosphine (TPP), and different approaches including Fourier transforms infrared spectrometry(FT-IR), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the NiO nanoparticles. Meanwhile, the effects of TPP concentration and reaction time on the size and yield of NiO nanoparticles derived from precursors were thoroughly investigated in this paper. The analysis results indicated that the prepared NiO nanoparticles were found spherical in shape and demonstrated weak agglomeration. They had generally high purity and a fine crystal phase of cubic syngony. Furthermore, the effects of the TPP concentration and reaction time on the size and yield of NiO nanoparticles are very crucial, higher concentration of TPP would results in reduction of both the mean size and yield of NiO particles. However both yields and particles size of NiO nanoparticles continuously increased as increasing reaction time, after more than 60 minutes, the size and yield of NiO nanoparticles kept hardly change.

AbstractCalcination is considered to increase the hardness of composite material and prevent its breakage for the effective applications in environmental remediation. In this study, magnetic biochar amended with silicon dioxide was calcined at high temperature under nitrogen environment and characterized using various techniques. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed elimination of Fe3O4 peaks under nitrogen calcination and formation of Fe3Si and iron as major constituents of magnetic biochar-SiO2 composite, which demonstrated its superparamagnetic behavior (>80 A2·kg−1) comparable to magnetic biochar. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that both calcined samples generated higher residual mass (>96 %) and demonstrated better thermal stability. The presence of various bands in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was more obvious and the elimination of H–O–H bonding was observed at high temperature calcination. In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed certain morphological variation among the samples and the presence of more prominent internal and external pores, which then judged the surface area and pore volume of samples. Findings from this study suggests that the selective calcination process could cause useful changes in the material composites and can be effectively employed in environmental remediation measures.

The existential state of protein in complexes directly affects the performance and applications of the composite materials. The interlayer space changes of montmorillonite in the protein / montmorillonite (MMT) composite were identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD). And the interaction between protein and MMT were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR) and UV/vis spectrophotometry. The loading amount of bovine serum albumin (BSA) onto MMT was calculated from the TG data. The types of adsorption isotherm of BSA onto montmorillonite were analyzed. From the above analysis, it can be concluded that the structure of proteins in the montmorillonite interlayers has been changed, and the hydrogen bond and Van der Waals force between the BSA molecules and montmorillonite crystal layers are intensified. The α-helix content of BSA molecules reduces while random coil increases. The protein shows a state of being squashed.

Heavy metals are known to be toxic, even at low content (ppm), for living organisms[1,2]. The presence of heavy metals and other pollutants in water continues to be a major concern and the removal of such contaminants is considered as an important solution for environmental remediation[3,4]. In this paper, we study the ability adsorption of  Pb2+ and Cd2+ heavy ionic metal on silica nanomaterials which was extracted and purified from Vietnamese rice husk. The structure of the materials was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and FT-IR spectroscopy. By Adsorption Atomic Spectroscopy (AAS) analysis, the results have demonstrated the time taken for attaining equilibrium adsorption is about 1.5 hours for both cases, and the adsorption capacity of Pb2+ and Cd2+ on silica are 21 and 24 mg/L, respectively.

Abstract The magnetic Ni0.3 Zn0.7 Fe2 O4 nanoparticles were expected to have wide applications in bionanoscience and electronic devices technology. In this work, Ni0.3 Zn0.7 Fe2 O4 nanoparticles were synthesized successfully by a redox chemical reaction in an aqueous solution of nickel chloride, zinc chloride and ferric chloride. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the shape, structure and size of the synthesized magnetic nanoparticles. The magnetic properties of Ni0.3 Zn0.7 Fe2 O4 nanoparticles were studied using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The XRD patterns of the synthesized nanoparticles revealed the formation of the single phase spinel structure of the synthesized materials. The synthesized Ni0.3 Zn0.7 Fe2 O4 nanoparticles were used for the preparation of Ni0.3 Zn0.7 Fe2 O4/polyvinyl acetate (PVAC) nanocomposites by an in situ emulsion polymerization method. The synthesized Ni0.3 Zn0.7 Fe2 O4 nanoparticles exhibited superparamagnetic behavior at the room temperature under an applied magnetic field. Magnetization measurements indicated that the saturation magnetization of synthesized Ni0.3 Zn0.7 Fe2 O4/PVAc nanocomposites was markedly less than that of Ni0.3 Zn0.7 Fe2 O4 magnetic nanoparticles.
