Reactions involving iron play a major role in the environmental cycling of a wide range of important organic, inorganic and radioactive contaminants. Consequently, a range of environmental clean-up technologies have been proposed or developed which utilise iron chemistry to remediate contaminated land and surface and subsurface waters, e.g. the use of injected zero zero-valent iron nanoparticle...

This contribution presents the production of polymer-coated iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles carrying functional groups on their surface and their basic characterization. The preparation of polymer-coated nanoparticles was carried out by a two-step process. In the first step, magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were prepared by a co-precipitation method from the solutions of FeCl2.4H2O and FeCl3.6...

The transport characteristics of iron nanoparticles prepared with a green tea, polyphenol-rich solution, were investigated for two granular media, pure silica sand and sand coated with aluminium hydroxide. The GT-nZVI injection caused a sharp decrease in the effluent pH and increase in the redox potential, which is attributed to the presence of free Fe and polyphenols in the suspension, respect...

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.

Zero-valent iron nanoparticle technology is becoming an increasingly popular choice for treatment of hazardous and toxic wastes, and for remediation of contaminated sites. In the U.S. alone, more than 20 projects have been completed since 2001. More are planned or ongoing in North America, Europe, and Asia. The diminutive size of the iron nanoparticles helps to foster effective subsurface dispe...

objective: the label and detection of cells injected into target tissues is an area of focus for researchers. iron oxide nanoparticles can be used to label cells as they have special characteristics. the purpose of this study is to examine the effects of iron oxide nanoparticles on human-derived amniotic membrane stem cell (hamcs) survival and to investigate the magnetic properties of these nan...

in tropical pulses such as mung bean use of zeolite due to keep of moisture is important. to study of effects of seed pelleting with zeolite and seed priming with iron chelate on protein and grain yield of mung bean cultivars in ahvaz conditions, an experiment was conducted as a factorial in randomized completely block design (rcbd) with three replication in experimental farm of the ramin unive...

• Mesoporous nanoparticles enhanced C. sorokiniana activity during biogas upgrading. CO 2 was adsorbed to the mesoporous surface of nanoparticles. CALPECH boosted productivity and carbohydrate content. UV exposure influenced differently depending on iron source. Three different based (NPs) were added Chlorella batch cultures devoted photosynthetic upgrading enhance biofixation: Fe O 3 , carbon ...

A new method for preparing magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles coated by organic dye-doped silica shell was developed in this article. Iron oxide nanoparticles were first coated with dye-impregnated silica shell by the hydrolysis of hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HTMOS) which produced a hydrophobic core for the entrapment of organic dye molecules. Then, the particles were coated with a hydrophilic sh...

Iron oxide nanoparticles are used for contrast enhancement in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We have prepared gold-coated iron oxide nanoparticles that show no change in their superparamagnetic behavior as a consequence of coating. Their potential use as MRI contrast agents was investigated by monitoring their T2 relaxation time with concentration. Cytotoxicity of these nanoparticles was als...
