A highly selective magnetic sensor with functionalized Fe/Fe3O4 nanoparticles for detection of Pb2+

A magnetic sensor for detection of Pb~(2+) has been developed based on Fe/Fe_3O_4 nanoparticles modified by3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid(DHCA). The carboxyl groups of DHCA have a strong affinity to coordination behavior of Pb~(2+) thus inducing the transformation of Fe/Fe_3O_4 nanoparticles from a dispersed to an aggregated state with a corresponding decrease, then increase in transverse relaxation time(T_2) of the surrounding water protons. Upon addition of the different concentrations of Pb~(2+) to an aq. solution of DHCA functionalized Fe/Fe_3O_4 nanoparticles(DHCA-Fe/Fe_3O_4 NPs)([Fe] = 90 mmol/L), the change of T_2 values display a good linear relationship with the concentration of Pb~(2+) from 40 μmol/L to 100 μmol/L and from 130 μmol/L to 200 μmol/L, respectively. Owing to the especially strong interaction between DHCA and Pb~(2+), DHCA-Fe/Fe_3O_4 NPs exhibited a high selectivity over other metal ions.     

Effective Removal of Tetracycline by Using Biochar Supported Fe3O4 as a UV-Fenton Catalyst

Novel Fe3O4-decorate hierarchical porous carbon skeleton derived from maize straw(Fe3O4@MSC)was synthesized by a facile co-precipitation process and a calcination process,which was developed as a UV assisted heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst.The as-synthesized catalysts were characterized via X-ray powder diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM),transmission electron microscope(TEM),Brunauer-Emmet-Teller(BET)and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM)at room temperature.The morphology and structure analysis revealed that the as-prepared Fe3O4@MSC retained the original pore morphology of the maize straw material.The non-uniform poly- hedral Fe3O4 grew on the whole surface of the MSC,which reduced the aggragation of Fe3O4 and provided more active sites to strengthen the UV-assisted Fenton-like reaction.As a result,the tetracycline(TC)degradation efficiency after 40 min reaction and total organic carbon(TOC)removal efficiency after 2 h reaction of Fe3O4@MSC catalyzing UV-Fenton system reached 99.2%and 72.1%,respectively,which were more substantial than those of Fe3O4@MSC/H2O2(31.5%and 2%),UV/H2O2 system(68%and 23.4%)and UV/Fe3O4/H2O2(80% and 37.5%).The electron spin resonance(ESR)results showed that the ·OH played an important role in the catalytic reaction.A possible degradation pathway of TC was proposed on the basis of the identified intermediates.Overall,the UV assisted heterogeneous Fenton-like process in Fe3O4@MSC improved the cycle of Fe^3+/Fe^2+ and activated the interfacial catalytic site,which eventually realized the enhancement of degradation and mineralization to tetracycline.     

Relationship between temperature-programmed reduction profile and activity of modified ferrite-based catalysts for WGS reaction

A series of modified ferrites were prepared by doping iron oxide with various transition/non-transition/inner-transition metal ions [M = Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Ce] in situ during synthesis. All the modified ferrites thus obtained exhibit remarkably high surface areas, greater than that of pure iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) sample. The efficacy of the dopant ions in modifying the resultant specific surface area, could be directly related to variations in the rate of crystal growth. The nature and concentration of the foreign cations present in the system govern this variation. Interestingly all the modified ferrites, exhibit a narrow pore size distribution in the range of 4.9–25 nm. XRD analysis revealed the existence of hematite (Fe₂O₃) phase in all the as-prepared samples. The X-ray diffraction experiments performed on activated catalysts, confirmed the existence of magnetite (Fe₃O₄) phase with a nominal composition of Fe_2.73M_0.27O₄. These inverse or mixed spinels with general formula A_(1−δ)B_δ[A_δB_(2−δ)]O₄, possess highly facile Fe³⁺  Fe²⁺ redox couple, the degree of facileness depends on the extent of synergistic interaction between iron and the other substitutent metal ion. The rapid electron hopping between Fe³⁺  Fe²⁺ in the Fe₃O₄ lattice system is essential to catalyze WGS reaction. From TPR it was observed that, incorporation of metal cations into the hematite (-Fe₂O₃) crystal structure alters the reducibility of the hematite particles, which in turn depends on the nature of the incorporated metal cation. A plausible explanation for the WGS activity over various modified ferrites has been attempted with the help of TPR analysis.

Preparation of Functionalized Fe3O4@SiO2 Magnetic Nanoparticles for Monoclonal Antibody Purification

Magnetic Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ nanoparticles with superparamagnetic properties were prepared via a reverse mi-croemulsion method at room temperature. The as-prepared samples were characterized by transmission electron mi-croscopy(TEM), X-ray diffractometry(XRD), and vibrating sample magnetometry(VSM). The Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ nanoparticles were modified by (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane(APTES) and subsequently activated by glutaraldehyde(Glu). Protein A was successfully immobilized covalently onto the Glu activated Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ nanoparticles. The adsorption capacity of the nanoparticles was determined on an ultraviolet spectrophotometer(UV) and approximately up to 203 mg/g of protein A could be uniformly immobilized onto the modified Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ magnetic beads. The core-shell of the Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ magnetic beads decorated with protein A showed a good binding capacity for the chime-ric anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody(anti-EGFR mAb). The purity of the anti-EGFR mAb was analyzed by virtue of HPLC. The protein A immobilized affinity beads provided a purity of about 95.4%.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Manganese-copper Spinel Ferrite Powders

Magnetic Mn_1-xCu_xFe₂O₄(x=0.2, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0) nanoparticles were synthesized by single citrate precursor method. The samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry and electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR). For samples with a low copper content(x<0.5), the copper ions have a tendency to occupy and substitute the Fe³⁺ at the tetrahedral(A) sites. For samples with a high copper content(x>0.5), most Cu²⁺ enter into the octahedral(B) sites. Transfer of Fe³⁺ from octahedral sites to tetrahedral sites leads to the decrease of the saturation magnetization. Maximum coercivity is observed for CuFe₂O₄ nanoparticles due to the strengthened magnetic anisotropy arisen from the Jahn-Teller effect of the octahedral copper ions. The dependence of magnetic properties of Mn_0.8Cu_0.2Fe₂O₄ nanoparticles on calcination temperature was investigated. The cation distribution in Mn_0.8Cu_0.2Fe₂O₄ is sensitive to the calcination temperature.

Pd/Fe₃O₄(5%)-C催化剂对乙醇氧化的电荷传递电阻也远低于Pd/C催化剂. 制备的所有催化剂对C1-C3醇类电氧化的电流密度大小排序如下: 正丙醇﹥乙醇﹥甲醇﹥异丙醇. 此外, 碳粉中Fe₃O₄纳米颗粒的存在提高了钯纳米颗粒的电化学稳定性.     

山西典型无烟煤灰流动性的调控

为满足气化炉液态排渣的要求,考察和比较了CaO、MgO和Fe₂O₃三种助熔剂对山西典型无烟煤煤灰流动性(熔融性和黏温特性)的影响.研究发现,MgO对硅铝比在1.2~2.0的高硅铝煤灰的流动温度降低最有效,其次为CaO和Fe₂O₃,这是由于使用各种助熔剂时生成不同的高温稳定矿物组分造成的.针对三种助熔剂建立了流动温度和完全液相温度的关系式,并得到了CaO和Fe₂O₃含量与流动温度的关系:FT = 1 593-9.573 × w_CaO (R²=0.9429) 和FT =1 576-8.330 6 × w_Fe2O3 (R²=0.955 9),可以用于指导助熔剂的添加.CaO无论从降低黏度数值或降低临界黏度温度都具有最好的效果.Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺、Fe²⁺的电负性差异和高温下的产物不同是三种助剂对黏度数值影响不同的根本原因; Mg²⁺、Fe²⁺具有较小的离子半径以及单质铁在高温下析出是导致临界黏度温度较高的原因.

Magnetic nanoparticles show great potential in RNA enrichment and separation for rapid detection of viral infection.Fundamental studies on the interaction between RNA and nanoparticles with uniform size and surface property are necessary for designing better adsorbent and optimizing the conditions.In this study,monodispersed superparamagnetic magnetite（Fe3O4） nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal decomposition and modified with tetramethylammonium hydroxide[N（CH3）4OH,TMAOH] that become highly dispersible and stable in water.High-efficiency plant viral RNA adsorption onto TMAOH/Fe3O4 nanoparticles in the extracted solution of plant leaves was demonstrated.The changes of surface charge of TMAOH on the Fe3O4 nanoparticles with pH contribute to the RNA adsorption and elution.Separating viral RNA with magnetic nanoparticles could be a simple,quick andhighly efficient method.     

锅炉结渣初始沉积层微观沉积机理研究

选取矾土Al₂O₃和赤铁矿Fe₂O₃,对这两种矿物做弹性常数的微观分析、对比,X射线衍射分析表明,煤灰与初始沉积层中的矿物种类相同,但两者中矾土Al₂O₃和赤铁矿Fe₂O₃的含量相差很大。采用第一性原理(first-principles)的超软赝势平面波方法,对Al₂O₃和Fe₂O₃的电子结构、弹性常数进行了计算。结果表明,从两种物质的结构角度分析,Al₂O₃晶体中Al³⁺、O^2-的堆积排列相对于Fe₂O₃中Fe³⁺、O^2-要稀疏,这是它们性质不同的结构原因;对于两晶体在<100>方向和切向上的化学键, Fe-O键比Al-O键更容易变形或者断裂,从而导致Fe₂O₃极易沉积在清洁水冷壁上;对Fe₂O₃,切向面对其沉积起了关键性的作用。

Preparation and Supercapacitive Properties of Fe2O3/Active Carbon Nanocomposites

Fe₂O₃/active carbon(Fe₂O₃/AC) nanocomposites were readily fabricated by pyrolyzing Fe³⁺ impregnated active carbon in a nitrogen atmosphere. The as-prepared composites were studied by X-ray powder diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The capacitive property of the composites was investigated by cyclic voltammetry(CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge test. Physical characterizations show that the γ-Fe₂O₃ fine grains dispersed in the AC well, with a mean size of 21.24 nm. Electrochemical tests in 6 mol/L KOH solutions indicate that the as-prepared nanocomposites exhibited improved capacitive properties. The specific capacitance(SC) of Fe₂O₃/AC nanocomposites was up to 188.4 F/g that was derived from both electrochemical double-layer capacitance and pseudo-capacitance, which was 78% larger than that of pristine AC. A symmetric capacitor with Fe₂O₃/AC nanocomposites as electrode showed an excellent cycling stability. The SC was only reduced by a factor of 9.2% after 2000 cycles at a current density of 1 A/g.
