Abstract: | The magnetic separation technique based on magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) has potential applications in protein
adsorption and purification, enzyme immobilization, cell sorting, nucleic acid detachment, and drug release. However, the
naked MNPs are often insufficient for their hydrophilicity, colloidal stability, and further functionalization. To overcome
these limitations, chitosan was firstly carboxymethylated and then covalently conjugated on the surface of the MNPs ranging
in size from about 5 to 15 nm, which were prepared by co-precipitating iron (II) and iron (III) in alkaline solution and then
treating under hydrothermal conditions. It was found that such modification did not result in the phase change of the MNPs,
and the resultant modified nanoparticles were still superparamagnetic. In particular, the colloidal stability of MNPs in aqueous
suspension was improved after the surface modification. By investigating the adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the
modified MNPs, it was observed that the adsorption capacity of the BSA on the modified MNPs increased rapidly within several
minutes and then reached the maximum value at about 10 min. The adsorption equilibrium isotherm could be fitted well by the
Langmuir model. The medium pH affected greatly the adsorption of the BSA. The maximum adsorption of the BSA occurred at the
pH value close to the isoelectric point of the BSA, with a saturation adsorption amount of 94.45 mg/g (25 °C). For the BSA
feed concentration of 1.017 mg/ml, a high desorption percentage of 91.5% could be achieved under an alkaline condition (pH 9.4). |
