A modified solution process is used to produce super-paramagnetic nanocomposite particles containing functional groups for adsorption application. The powder is produced in a spray tower. The feed is a polymer solution containing two fractions of different particles: magnetite (14 nm) and polymer ion exchanger (150 nm). The spray-magnetic beads are submitted to different characterization methods: confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and alternating gradient magnetometry (AGM). The characterization clearly proves the super-paramagnetic properties at room temperature of the composite particles, even at a high filling degree of 30 wt.%. The evaluation of the protein binding capacity of the composite material shows excellent values, which are comparable to other ion exchange resins. Compared to the conventional methods, the solution process has a high potential in scale-up. Thus a potential application of magnetic separation technology in technical scale is possible. 相似文献

Summary: A magnetite‐based colloid was obtained by chemical co‐precipitation of iron(II) and iron(III) salts in alkaline medium and stabilized with oleic acid. Magnetic micron‐size poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA)‐based latex particles of narrow size distribution were prepared by dispersion polymerization in toluene/2‐methylpropan‐1‐ol in the presence of three kinds of ferrimagnetic nanoparticles: chromium dioxide, maghemite, and magnetite. Cellulose acetate butyrate and dibenzoyl peroxide were used as the stabilizer and the initiator, respectively. The magnetic characteristics were examined with respect to behavior in the magnetic field and thermal stability. Our results show that chromium dioxide and derived PHEMA particles are magnetically stable in moderate temperatures up to about 100 °C. Maghemite particles are thermally stable up to 500 °C. Measurements of the hysteresis loops and remanent magnetization showed that embedment of magnetic particles in organic polymer has practically no effect on their magnetic hysteresis. All the samples reached magnetic saturation in fields below 0.3 T (saturation of magnetite). Regarding separation by the magnetic field, ultrafine, superparamagnetic magnetite particles show the best performance because of their magnetic susceptibility, the highest measured here, and the absence of coercive force.

Magnetic porous clay heterostructure (magnetic PCH) was successfully synthesized using a simple precipitation method of applying magnetite onto a PCH surface. X-ray techniques were used to confirm the presence of magnetite in the composite. The magnetite particles, as investigated by the transmission electron microscopy, were spherical nanoparticles (~12.07 nm). The magnetic PCH exhibited characteristics of mesoporous material type IV, similar to PCH. Significant enhancement of the magnetic and dielectric properties in the high frequency range was also observed. 相似文献
Thermal degradation of palladium-containing samples of Fiban K-1 fibrous sulfonic cation exchanger in the H form fabricated by ion exchange and reduced with hydrazine hydrate was investigated by methods of DTA, x-ray phase analysis, mass spectrometry, and EPR spectroscopy. It was found that palladium in the reduced state added to the cation exchanger in relatively small amounts, 1.5-2.5 wt. %, stabilizes the hydrocarbon matrix (increases the temperature of the onset of desulfurization of the sulfonic cation exchanger and thermal degradation of the hydrocarbon matrix). With a higher content (14%), palladium significantly changes these characteristics, manifested by a decrease in the temperature of the onset of desulfurization of the ion exchanger and thermal degradation of the hydrocarbon matrix. 相似文献
Summary Anionic exchange resins with a gradient in polymer composition were prepared in two stages. After P(S-co-DVB) suspension beads
were obtained, N,N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate monomer was let to diffuse into the beads at 25 °C, and immediately photopolymerized
to fix the gradient polymer composition with high surface concentration of ion exchanger. Chemical composition through the
radial position was estimated by means of a mathematical algorithm and using UV spectroscopy. Resin characterization included
particle size distribution, “settled” density and total anion exchange capacity, following ASTM D-2187. Values were compared
with a porous commercial resin (Amberlite IRA900RF Cl). Since non porous structure with high ion exchange capacity resins
were obtained, useful resins for ion exchange with long term stability can be prepared with this methodology. 相似文献
Incorporating magnetic materials in ceramic matrices becomes an attractive topic due to its versatility and wide range of applications. Therefore, this work aims to produce zirconia-magnetic particles and zirconia-graphene composites, investigating their structural and magnetic properties. The ceramic composites were produced by the tape casting technique and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and magnetic measurements. The microstructural characterization showed monoclinic and tetragonal zirconia phases from the zirconia powder and the magnetite and hematite phases from the magnetic particles. Three peaks of characteristics known as band D, G, and 2D evidenced the presence of graphene. The morphology of the zirconia-magnetic particles and zirconia-graphene composites showed grains with irregular shapes and varying sizes; however, the zirconia-graphene composite showed the presence of pores and agglomerates due to the plasma heat-treatment process. The uniform dispersion of the elements in both ceramic composites confirmed the efficiency of the applied method. The magnetic characterizations of the green and sintered zirconia-magnetic particles and zirconia-graphene composites were studied in a wide range of magnetic fields and temperatures (5 to 300 K). Before sintering, the magnetite phase commanded the magnetic response of the zirconia-magnetic particles composite, showing a ferrimagnetic behavior, after sintering, the hematite phase content increased by approximately 27%, causing a change in the ferrimagnetic order to antiferromagnetic. It was found that the 1% graphene insertion in the zirconia ceramic composite was responsible for the ferromagnetic behavior of the sintered composite. Ceramic composites become future candidates for technological applications in spintronic devices and magnetic storage. 相似文献
