Dechlorination of disinfection by-product monochloroacetic acid in drinking water by nanoscale palladized iron bimetallic particle

Nanoscale palladized iron(Pd/Fe)bimetallic particles were prepared by reductive deposition method.The particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),X-ray fluorescence(XRF),scanning electron microscope(SEM),transmission electron microscope(TEM),and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller-nitrogen(BET-N_2)method.Data obtained from those methods indicated that nanoscale Pd/Fe bimetallic particles containedα-Fe^0.Detected Pd to Fe ratio by weight(Pd/Fe ratio)was close to theoretical value.

Novel Magnetorheological Suspensions Based on Co-Phthalocyanine/Fe Nanocomposite Particles

A novel magnetorheological (MR) suspension was based on methyl silicone oil and cobalt-phthalocyanine (Co-Pc)/Fe nanocomposite particles, which were synthesized by thermally decomposing liquid carbonyl Fe in the solution of Co-Pc in N, N-dimethyl formamide. The nanocomposite particles were fully characterized by XRD, SEM and HREM, and the thermal, magnetic and MR properties of nanocomposite particles were measured. Such factors as weight percent of particles (w), magnetic field strength (H), temperature (T) and shear rate (gamma) etc influencing on MR properties were investigated. The results indicated that Co-Pc/Fe nanocomposite with density of 3.66 g/cm(3) was almost micro-sized regular spheroids consisting of tens of Co-Pc coated alpha -Fe nanoparticles in inner and Co-Pc layers on surface of the spheroids. They showed good characteristics of anti-oxidation and soft magnetic. Increment of w increased field-induced shear stress (Delta tau) and zero-field viscosity (eta (0)) of MR suspensions monotonously, and improved anti-settlement stability, but eta (0) increased more markedly than Delta tau with increasing w. Delta tau was basically independent on T and gamma while increased obviously with increasing H. With increasing T, response time of the MR suspension to external magnetic field seemed to decrease. As a result, MR suspensions with satisfactory stability and rapid, completely reversible and significant MR effect can be obtained from Co-Pc/Fe nanocomposite particles.

Research on Surface Peeling in Cu-Fe-P Alloy

Surface peeling of Cu-Fe-P lead frame alloy was analyzed using plane strain model and elastoplastic finite element method. Based on the characterization of microstructure at surface peeling in finish rolled Cu-Fe-P lead frame alloy, the stress and strain distributions of the interface between Cu matrix and Fe particle are studied. Results indicate that the equivalent strain mismatch 6.9% between Cu matrix and Fe particle and the intense stress concentration at the interface have influence on surface peeling generation. The crack is prone to the electrical conductivity decreasing of Cu-Fe-P alloy and surface peeling on finish rolling.

Oxidative-damage effect of Fe3O4 nanoparticles on mouse hepatic and brain cells in vivo

To assess the biological safety of Fe3O4 nanoparticles （NPs）, the oxidative-damage effect of these NPs was studied. Twenty-five Kunming mice were exposed to Fe3O4 NPs by intraperitoneai injection daily for 1 week at doses of 0, 10, 20, and 40 mg.kg1. Five Kunming mice were also injected with 40 mg.kg 1 ordinary Fe3O4 particles under the same physiological conditions. Biomarkers of reactive oxygen species （ROS）, glutathione （GSH）, and malondialdehyde （MDA） in the hepatic and brain tissues were detected. Results showed that no significant difference in oxidative damage existed at concentrations lower than 10 mg.kg i for NPs compared with the control group. Fe3O4 NP concentration had obvious dose-effect relationships （P〈 0.05 or P 〈 0.01） with ROS level, GSH content, and MDA content in mouse hepatic and brain tissues at〉20 mg.kg 1 concentrations. To some extent, ordinary Fe3O4 particles with 40mg.kg -1 concentration also affected hepatic and brain tissues in mice. The biological effect was similar to Fe3O4 NPs at 10 mg. kg-1 concentration. Thus, Fe3O4 NPs had significant damage effects on the antioxidant defense system in the hepatic and brain tissues of mice, whereas ordinary Fe3O4 had less influence than Fe3O4 NPs at the same concentration.

Preparation and characterization of Pd/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles immobilized on Al_2O_3/PVDF membrane:Parameter optimization and dechlorination of dichloroacetic acid

Using a liquid-solid phase inversion method, a hybrid matrix poly（vinylidene fluoride）（PVDF） membrane was prepared with alumina（Al2O3） nanoparticle addition. Pd/Fe nanoparticles（NPs） were successfully immobilized on the Al2O3/PVDF membrane, which was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy（SEM） and Transmission Electron Microscopy（TEM）. The micrographs showed that the Pd/Fe NPs were dispersed homogeneously. Several important experimental parameters were optimized, including the mechanical properties, contact angle and surface area of Al2O3/PVDF composite membranes with different Al2O3 contents. At the same time, the ferrous ion concentration and the effect of hydrophilization were studied. The results showed that the modified Al2O3/PVDF membrane functioned well as a support. The Al2O3/PVDF membrane with immobilized Pd/Fe NPs exhibited high efficiency in terms of dichloroacetic acid（DCAA） dechlorination. Additionally, a reaction pathway for DCAA dechlorination by Pd/Fe NPs immobilized on the Al2O3/PVDF membrane system was proposed.

Preparation and characterization of silicone-oil-based γ-Fe2O3 magnetic fluid

In this study, silicone-oil-based γ-Fe2O3 mag- netic fluid was successfully prepared by thermal oxidizing of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles, which were prepared by chemical co-precipitation with FeSO4-7H2O and FeCl3- 6H2O, and their surface was modified by oleate ligands. Silicone oil was used as carrier liquid and oleic acid was as surfactant for preparing γ-Fe2O3 magnetic fluid. It is found that the Fe3O4 nanoparticles surrounded by oleate ligands are not damaged during the thermal oxidizing. The shape of γ-Fe2O3 magnetic nanoparticles prepared is similar to spherical, and their mean size is about 10-20 nm, which has nothing obvious difference compared with Fe3O4. Thesaturation magnetization of γ-Fe2O3 magnetic fluid pre-pared is 14.25 A.me.kg-1 and that of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparti-cles is 57.56 A.m2.kg-1. The needle of γ-Fe2O3 magneticfluid is much bigger than that of Fe3O4 magnetic fluidunder the same magnetic field, which shows better mag-netic properties.
