After it had been treated by silane-coupling agents KH570, magnetic micro-spheres dispersed in organic medium glycol were gained and the mean size of Fe3O4 nanopowders was 33.7 nm. So it can be concluded that magnetic micro-sphere is made of a few Fe3O4 crystals. Many factors of modification were researched, such as the time of ball milling, the content of Fe3O4 and the content of KH570. The modification of Fe3O4 is relative to the time of ball milling, but the dominant function is affected by the content of Fe3O4 and KH570. When the content of Fe3O4 is known, there is a suitable content of KH570. Different content of Fe3O4 will make the different suitable content of KH570, but the range of latter is less than former, which is relative to the distribution of KH570 on Fe3O4 surface or in the solution.展开更多

The modified and unmodified nanoparticles were characterized by FT-IR, XPS and TEM. The spectra of FT-IR and XPS revealed that KH570 was coated onto the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles to get Fe-O- Si bond and an organic coating layer also was formed. Fe3O4 nanoparticles were spheres partly with mean size of 18,8 nm studied by TEM, which was consistent with the result 17.9 nm calculated by Scherrer's equation. KH570 was adsorbed on surface and formed chemistry bond to be steric hindrance repulsion which prevented nanoparticles from reuniting. Then glycol-based Fe3O4 magnetic liquids dispersed stably was gained.展开更多

Fe3 O4 MNPs were also prepared for comparison. The average size and specific surface area results reveal that γ-PGA/Fe3 O4 MNPs(52.4 nm, 88.41 m2·g 1) have smaller particle size and larger specific surface area than Fe3 O4 MNPs(62.0 nm, 76.83 m2·g 1). The γ-PGA/Fe3 O4 MNPs can remove over 99% of Cr3+, Cu2+and Pb2+, and over 77% of Ni2+in deionized water, much higher than γ-PGA and Fe3 O4 MNPs, attributed to the larger specific surface area of γ-PGA/Fe3 O4 MNPs. With the solution pH higher than 6.0, γ-PGA/Fe3 O4 MNPs demonstrate better removal activity. The adsorption isotherm of γ-PGA/Fe3 O4 MNPs for Cr3+fits the Freundlich model well, with the adsorption capacity of 24.60 mg·g 1. γ-PGA/Fe3 O4 MNPs are strongly attracted by permanent magnet, so it is easy to separate them completely from water. With their high efficiency for heavy metal removal and easier separation, γ-PGA/Fe3 O4 MNPs have great potential applications in water treatment.展开更多

The high production cost of biodiesel and the recovery of the catalyst after the transesterification process are the major challenges to be addressed in biodiesel production. In the present work, a cheap and promising solid base oxide catalyst was synthesized from chicken eggshell by calcination at 900 ℃ forming catalyst eggshells(CES) and was impregnated with the nanomagnetic material(Fe3O4) to obtain Fe3O4 loaded catalytic eggshell(CES–Fe3O4). Fe3O4 nanomaterials were synthesized by co-precipitation method and were loaded in catalytic eggshell by sonication, for better recovery of the catalyst after transesterification process. CES–Fe3O4 material was characterized by Thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, a vibrating-sample magnetometer, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, Dynamic light scattering, and Scanning electron microscopy. Biodiesel was synthesized by transesterification of Pongamia pinnata raw oil with 1:12 oil to methanol molar ratio and 2 wt% catalyst loading for 2 h at a temperature of 65 ℃ and yields were compared. The reusability of the catalyst was studied by the transesterification of the raw oil and its catalytic activity was found to be retained up to 7 cycles with a yield of 98%.展开更多

The porous PC skeleton formed by the interweaving long-fibers not only facilitates fast transfer of Li ions and electrons but also provides a physical barrier for the polysulfide shuttling. The secondary Fe3O4@graphene component can reduce the polarization, boost the attachment of polysulfides, and promote the charging-discharging kinetics. The outer graphitic sheets layers benefit the interfacial electrochemistry and the utilization of S-containing species.The efficient obstruction of polysulfides diffusion is further witnessed via in situ ultraviolet-visible characterization and first-principles simulations. When 73% sulfur/commercial acetylene black is used as the cathode, the cell exhibits excellent capacity retention with high capacities at 0.5 C for 1000 cycles and even up to 10 C for 500 cycles, an ultrahigh rate capability up to 10 C(478 m Ah g-1), and a high arealsulfur loading of 8.05 mg cm-2. The strategy paves the way for developing multifunctional composites for LSBs with superior performance.展开更多

Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were modified by L-dopa or dopamine using sonication method. The analysis of FTIR clearly indicated the formation of Fe-O-C bond. Direct immobilization of trypsin (EC: 3.4.21.4) on Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles with L-dopa and dopamine spacer was investigated using glutaraldehyde as a coupling agent. No significant changes in the size and magnetic property of the three kinds of magnetic nanoparticles linked with or without trypsin were observed. The existence of the spacer molecule on magnetic nanoparticles could greatly improve the activity and the storage stability of bound trypsin through increasing the flexibility of enzyme and changing the microenvironment on nanoparticles surface compared to the naked magnetic nanoparticles.展开更多

文摘Nowadays,the novel oil water interface method has attracted a considerable attention owing to the advantages of mild reaction conditions,simple operation,low cost,and high efficiency.In this paper,uniform oil-soluble Fe_3O_4 nanoparticles(NPs) were synthesized by oil-water interface method from mixing iron tristearate of 0.067mol/L in cyclohexane with ferrous sulfate in water.The as-prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR) and thermogravimetric analyzer(TGA).TEM images and XRD profiles showed that the size of the oil-soluble products ranged in 1.7-6.9 nm.VSM indicated that the Fe_3O_4 NPs were superparamagetic.FT-IR and TGA proved that oleic acid was combined to the surface of Fe_3O_4 NPs closely.TEM images and XRD profiles revealed that the most suitable reaction concentration of NH_3·H_2O,oleic acid/water in volume,reaction temperature and reaction time were 4.5 mol/L,50:1 000,80℃ and 6 h,respectively.The formation mechanism of the nearly monodispersed Fe_3O_4 NPs was that the preformed Fe_3O_4 nuclei were capped by oleic acid as early as the nucleation occurred in oil-water interface and subsequently entered into oil phase to stop growing.

文摘A composite material(Fe3O4/Coke)using coke supported Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles was successfully prepared via an in-situ chemicaloxidation precipitation method and characterized by SEM,XRD,Raman,and FTIR.The results showed that the Fe3O4 nanoparticles existed steadily on the surface of coke,with better dispersing and smaller particle size.The catalytic ability of Fe3O4/Coke were investigatied by degrading p-nitrophenol(P-NP).The results showed that the apparent rate constant for the P-NP at 1.0 g·L^-1 catalyst,30 mmol·L^-1 H2O2,pH=3.0,30 ℃ and the best ratio of Coke/Fe3O4 0.6,was evaluated to be 0.027 min^-1,the removalrate of CODCr was 75.47%,and the dissolubility of Fe was 2.42 mg·L^-1.Compared with pure Fe3O4,the catalytic ability of Fe3O4/Coke in the presence of H2O2 was greatly enhanced.And Fe3O4/Coke was a green and environmentalcatalyst with high catalytic activity,showing a good chemicalstability and reusability.
