Abstract

Abstract:

Good dispersion stability magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles with L-cysteine (L-Fe₃O₄ NPs) for surface modification and particle size regulator were prepared by hydrothermal method. The Fe₃O₄ NPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), respectively. The influence of L-cysteine on the morphology, particle diameter distribution, crystal structure and dispersion stability of Fe₃O₄ NPs was studied. The results showed that sedimentation height of Fe₃O₄ NPs which adjusted to pH 7.0 was about 6.5 times than L-Fe₃O₄ NPs which sedimentation time was 22 h. Furthermore, 4-nitrophenol catalyzed experiments were carried out for potential application in catalyzed field and we found that catalytic efficiency was increased significantly when Au absorbed by L-Fe₃O₄ NPs. Our results indicated that L-Fe₃O₄ NPs had excellent dispersion stability and had promising potential applications in waste water treatment field.
