Preventing diseases is deemed to be the major goal of our century especially when an excessive fluoride in drinking water can cause dental fluorosis, bone stiffness, rheumatism and skeletal fluorosis. Fluoride uptake from groundwater implies a worldwide multidisciplinary effort in order to develop renewable, cheap, human friendly materials. Among other materials, hydrotalcites could be good candidates for an efficient fluoride removal from water due to their adsorption, anion exchange and reconstruction properties. These nanostructured materials were synthesized using co-precipitation method in controlled conditions. Presence of anions in the interlayer structure and morphological aspects were performed by FTIR and SEM techniques. Thermal treatment of hydrotalcites showed good adsorption capacities for water defluoridation mostly due to their tendency to restore the original structure.

Double Hydroxides

A series of MgAlFe-CO3 layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were successfully prepared by co-precipitation method. With synthetic wastewater, the effect of doped iron on fluoride sorption by calcined MgAlFe-CO3 layered double hydroxides (CLDH) under different pH and contact time conditions was investigated. The sorption isotherm data were fitted well to Langmuir isotherm at 25 °C. The maximum sorption capacity of fluoride on CLDH increases first and then decreases with the increase of Fe/Al molar ratio and attains maximum of 71.94 mg/g when Fe/Al molar ratio is 1:2, although doped iron is unfavorable to the regeneration of original layered structure for CLDH after fluoride adsorption. No aluminium in the solution after fluoride adsorption was detected when Fe/Al molar ratio is equal to or larger than 1:2. The results indicate that CLDH with proper Fe/Al molar ratio is a promising candidate as an adsorbent material for fluoride removal from aqueous solutions.

A ferrofluid with 1,2-Benzenediol-coated iron oxide nanoparticles was synthesized and physicochemically analyzed. This colloidal system was prepared following the typical co-precipitation method, and superparamagnetic nanoparticles of 13.5 nm average diameter, 34 emu/g of magnetic saturation, and 285 K of blocking temperature were obtained. Additionally, the zeta potential showed a suitable colloidal stability for cancer therapy assays and the magneto-calorimetric trails determined a high power absorption density. In addition, the oxidative capability of the ferrofluid was corroborated by performing the Fenton reaction with methylene blue (MB) dissolved in water, where the ferrofluid was suitable for producing reactive oxygen species (ROS), and surprisingly a strong degradation of MB was also observed when it was combined with H2O2. The intracellular ROS production was qualitatively corroborated using the HT-29 human cell line, by detecting the fluorescent rise induced in 2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate. In other experiments, cell metabolic activity was measured, and no toxicity was observed, even with concentrations of up to 4 mg/mL of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). When the cells were treated with magnetic hyperthermia, 80% of cells were dead at 43 °C using 3 mg/mL of MNPs and applying a magnetic field of 530 kHz with 20 kA/m amplitude.

<p>This thesis was motivated by the different properties exhibited by magnetic nanoparticles when compared with the bulk. For example the coercivity and magnetocrystalline anisotropy vary with the particle size and the finite particle size can affect the spin-wave dispersion. When the nanoparticle radius becomes small enough it is possible to observe superparamagnetism with negligible hysteresis. The transport properties can also be different in nanoparticle composites when compared with the bulk. It is particularly interesting if the nanoparticles have a degree of electronic spin polarization because it is then possible to observe spin-dependent tunnelling. This thesis reports the results from a study of the structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of two partially electronically spin-polarized nanostructured compounds, iron-nickel alloy and magnetite, that were made using a new arc-discharge method, ion implantation and annealing, and a co-precipitation method.  It was found that permalloy powders could be made by arc-discharge where there were a range of particle sizes from nms to 10s of microns. Magnetoresistance was observed where it is due to the ordinary magnetoresistance and spin-dependent tunnelling between the particles. It was also possible to make magnetite using the arc-discharge process and the powders contained nanoparticles, large faceted nanoparticles, and larger particles in the 10s of micron range. The temperature dependence of the saturation magnetization changes at 127 K, which can be attributed to the charge-ordering Verwey transition. A large magnetoresistance was observed and attributed to spin-dependent tunnelling between the magnetite particles. It was less than predicted due to a spin-disordered interfacial region. The electrical resistance was modelled in terms of small nanoparticles coating the larger particles and electrostatic charging during tunnelling between small nanoparticles. Magnetite powders were also synthesized via a chemical co-precipitation method where nanoparticles with diameters of ~14 nm were observed. The Verwey transition was only observed in the zero-field cooled field-cooled magnetization for the arc-discharge powders. It was observed for the magnetite powders made using both methods in the temperature dependence of the saturation moment. The saturation magnetic moment for powders made using both methods has a power law dependence on temperature with an exponent of 3/2 at low temperatures and a higher value above the Verwey transition temperature 2. There was also a large magnetoresistance due to spin-dependent tunnelling for magnetite nanoparticle made using a chemical co-precipitation method and the electrical resistance could be modelled in terms of electrostatic charging during tunnelling.  NixFe₁₋x nanoparticles were made for the first time by ion beam implantation. Small superparamagnetic nanoparticles occurred after implantation. The saturation moment after implantation did not follow the Bloch’s T³/² for x=0.82, which is likely to be due to spin-waves propagating in the nanoparticle/NiyFe₁₋ySizOn matrix. A bi-modal particle size distribution of mostly spherical nanoparticles was observed for x=0.82 after annealing. An x=0.45 sample showed large asymmetric NixFe₁₋x nanoparticles with minimal smaller nanoparticles. The different nanoparticle morphologies is likely to be due to the different nucleation centres and the different initial concentration profiles. The saturation moment had an exponent of 3/2 at low temperatures and there was a contribution from surface disordered spins. A higher Ni fluence with x=0.53 lead to the formation of superparamagnetic nanoparticles that had a higher blocking temperature, indicating the formation of larger nanocrystallites. There was an enhancement in the permeability.</p>

Contamination of water with heavy metals such as lead is a major worldwide problem because they affect the physiological functions of living organisms, cause cancer, and damage the immune system. Hydroxyapatite, (Ca5(PO4)3OH) is considered one of the most effective materials for removing heavy metals from contaminated water. The hydroxyapatite nanopowders (N-HAp) obtained by a co-precipitation method were used in this research to determine the effectiveness in removing lead ions from contaminated solutions. In this study, we have investigated the structure and morphology of N-HAp nanopowders using X-ray diffraction (XRD), electronic transmission microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The structure information was also obtained by spectroscopy measurements. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy measurements revealed the presence of peaks corresponding to the phosphate and hydroxyl groups. The ability of N-HAp nanopowders to adsorb lead ions from aqueous solutions were established. The results of the kinetic and equilibrium studies on the removal of Pb (II) from aqueous solution revealed that the adsorption of lead (II) cations is due to the surface reaction with the hydroxyl terminal groups on the adsorbent and the combination of the positive charges of the metal cations with the negative charges on the adsorbent surfaces. These observations could validate the use of these ceramic nanopowders in ecological remediation strategies.

In recent years, there was a crescent increase in studies involving hybrid magnetic nanocomposites from renewable resources, because of its importance in the synthesis of new organic biomaterials. Herein, we report a synthesis of Magnetic Nanocomposites (MNCs) from superparamagnetic nanoparticles based on iron oxide of maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) coated by a polymeric matrix. In this study, we used γ-Fe2O3 which are prepared using co-precipitation method, where salts with ions Fe+2 and Fe+3 are dissolved in distilled water and stirred until they reach about 60 ° C. Shortly after the mixture is add a solution of NH4OH. After this step, the magnetite solute (Fe3O4) is left in oxidizing solution, thus forming nanoparticles of γ-Fe2O3. For activation of the functional groups and extraction of the polymer we used polycondensation method, wherein the oil extracted from Carapa Guianensis Aubl. is diluted in ethylene glycol (C2H6O2). After that, the mixture undergoes processes: hydrothermal and isobaric-isothermal. Then, purification was performed polymer, thus obtaining a polymer of natural oil. The nanoparticles was coated for the polymeric matrix using dispersion method and freeze drying, thereby forming a hybrid MNCs ready for characterization. For the samples characterization was utilized X-ray diffraction (XRD) and spectroscopy: UV-Vis, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), EDX and PAS. The results indicate that magnetic-polymeric nanocomposites structure formed was type core/shell, wherein the core was formed γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles, coated by the polymer matrix, which presents some characteristics of the natural oil used in their synthesis.

Self-regulate magnetic nanoparticles of MnZnFe2O4 may be proper for thermal treatments. Structure and magnetic properties of the synthesis Mn1-xZnx Fe2O4 with x=0- 0.5 by step 0.1were studied. Superparamagnetic nanoparticles of MnZnFe2O4 were prepared by co-precipitation method, followed that heat treatment in the autoclave reactor. XRD results showed that is difficult to prepare MnZnFe2O4 directly using the co-precipitation method. Preparation method yield nanoparticles with spherical shape and there is a slight change in the particle size distribution, also observed shrinkage occurs in the particle size after heat treatments, the average particle size was estimated about 20nm as confirmed by FESEM images. FTIR spectra of samples showed two distinct absorption peaks in the range ~ 617 – 426 (cm-1) related to stretching vibrations of the (Fe-O) in the tetrahedral and octahedral side respectively. Magnetic measurements were carried out using (VSM), M-H curves indicate typical soft magnetic materials and particles so small to be identical superparamagnetic nanoparticles. Heating ability of water based colloidal dispersions of samples were studied under magnetic field strength 6.5kA/m and the frequency 190 kHz, and the results showed when increasing Zn2+ to x=0.3 or more the samples not heated up. Depending on the heating curve susceptibility, effective relaxation time and Néel relaxation time , were determined.
