Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized and coated with silica by conventional coprecipitation method. Silica coated iron oxide nanoparticles were surface functionalized with chitosan. Silica coating and chitosan functionalization were confirmed by FTIR and TG-DTA analysis. XRD pattern revealed that the pure phase of Fe3O4 was retained even after coating. Particles of average size 12 nm were ...

The protective performance of zeolite coating on AZ91D magnesium alloy was evaluated using potentiodynamic polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 0.1 M sodium chloride solution (NaCl). Electrical equivalent circuit (EEC) was developed based upon hypothetical corrosion mechanisms and simulated to correspond to the experimental data. The morphology and the chemical natur...

Objective(s):Iron oxide nanoparticles have found prevalent applications in various fields including drug delivery, cell separation and as contrast agents. Super paramagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles allow researchers and clinicians to enhance the tissue contrast of an area of interest by increasing the relaxation rate of water. In this study, we evaluate the dependency of hydrodynamic si...

Nitrate contamination of water resources and the growing concentration of nitrate endanger human health and the environment and considering its reduction strategies from water resources is important. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of removal of nitrate from aqueous solutions using granular activated carbon from grape wood coated with iron nanoparticles. The results sho...

The in situ synthesis of air-stable zero-valent iron nanoparticles (NZVI) embedded in cellulose fibers leads to the assembly of highly reactive magnetic filter papers. These engineered materials display a wide range of applications in the treatment of wastewater and drinking water, including chromium removal, phenol degradation, environmental bioremediation, and catalysis.

recent progress in nanotechnology and electrochemical methods can be applied to fine control of the size, crystal structure, and surface properties of iron oxide nanoparticles. here we appliedcathodic electrochemical deposition (ced) as an efficient and effective tactic for synthesisand double coating of surface of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (spions). in first step, bare fe3o4 n...

Zeolite nanoparticles with various organosilanized surfaces have been synthesized in situ by a one-step approach which provides not only a functionalized surface for diverse host-guest interactions but also an attractive path for preparation of monodispersed template-free zeolite nanoparticles.

in this research, zeolite a was synthesized from waste porcelain and cds nano-particles were doped in zeolite framework by a precipitation after an ion exchanging process. all raw and modified samples were characterized by ft-ir, xrd and sem methods. primary experiments showed that the good efficiency of loaded nano cds onto the zeolite a for photodecomposition of dimethyldisulfide (dmds) under...
