The primary objective of this paper is to enhance the water-vapor-adsorption capacity of multiwall-carbon-nanotube (MWCNT) from nitrogen gas by grafting sulfonic acid groups and doping palladium nanoparticles into the adsorbent. MWCNT has been selected to be modified because of having homogeneous adsorption energy compared to silica gel. As a result, it is capable of creating isotherm having sh...

The acid dyes are one of the most widely used commercial dyes used in the textile industries. This work investigates the ability of magnetite nanoparticles functionalized with imidazolium based ionic liquid as an efficient sorbent for removal of the Acid Blue 113 from wastewater. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy FT-IR, X-ray diffraction XRD and Transmission Electron Microscopy TEM were u...

A magnetic sorbent with stable and superior magnetic behaviour was developed for His-tagged protein purification by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). Magnetic, monodisperse and porous silica microspheres 6 mm in size, with bimodal pore size distribution including both mesoporous and macroporous compartments were synthesized as the base material by a staged-shape template hydroly...

The constant increase in the number of sustainable products on the global markets demands new biotechnological processing strategies such as the purification and recovery of biocatalysts. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles exhibit excellent recovery properties as carrier materials in enzyme catalysis. We present the simple and fast electrostatic assembly of cellulase (CEL) and low-price...

In recent years, nanoparticles (NPs) and related applications have become an intensive area of research, especially in the biotechnological and biomedical fields, with magnetic NPs being one of the promising tools for tumor treatment and as MRI-contrast enhancers. Several internalization and cytotoxicity studies have been performed, but there are still many unanswered questions concerning NP in...

A new sorbent composed of 3-aminopropyltriethoxy-silane-coated magnetic nanoparticles, functionalized with rhodium(III) porphyrin complex was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and ThermoGravimetric Analysis (TGA). The effect of some co-existi...

For enrichment and separation of cis-diol-containing compounds from biomatrix, a new type of magnetic nanoparticles named MS-48-PBSC, whichwas facilely prepared in a one-step heterogeneous reaction. The morphology results demonstrated that the MS-48-PBSC was a spherical nanomaterial containing a core of silica-coated magnetic particle with a diameter of about 200 nm, and a cover layer of mesopo...

This study describes a one-pot synthesis of superparamagnetic maghemite-based 4-aminobenzoic acid-coated spherical core-shell nanoparticles (PABA@FeNPs) as suitable nanocomposites potentially usable as magnetic carriers for drug delivery. The PABA@FeNPs system was subsequently functionalized by the activated species (1* and 2*) of highly in vitro cytotoxic cis-[PtCl2(3Claza)2] (1; 3Claza stands...
