Ítem Dipolar interactions among magnetic dipoles of iron oxide particles dispersed in mili-size hydrogel beads(Elsevier B.V., 2020-01-01) Actis, D.G.; Muñoz Medina, G.A.; Velásquez, A.A.; Pereda, C.; Sanchez, L.M.; Alvarez, V.A.; Muñetón Arboleda, D.; Mendoza Zélis, P.; Sánchez, F.H.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias Básicas; Electromagnetismo Aplicado (Gema)The recently published Mean Field Interacting Superparamagnet Model (MFISP model), which introduces the effective demagnetizing factor NE, is tested in specimens having a random-like spatial distribution of magnetic nanoparticles, where different hierarchies of clustering are present. These specimens are ferrogel PVA/iron oxide beads synthesized by a one-pot route, having spheroidal shapes and sizes of about 1 mm, and chain and disk-like arrays (superstructures) of beads. Raman analyses indicated that magnetic nanoparticles are composed by a mixture of magnetite and maghemite. Beads swell 208% by hydration in about 40 min. The increase of the ac susceptibility as a function of hydration time closely reflects the effect of bead swelling, in agreement with the expected diminution of dipole–dipole interactions. Measured susceptibility is analyzed in terms of the susceptibility ? of non-interacting particles and the effective demagnetizing factor NE of the specimen, which depends on swelling. The Specific Absorption Rate of electromagnetic power by the beads grows with the hydration time in agreement with ac susceptibility behavior. For long hydration times susceptibility and high field magnetization decrease. This is explained by the occurrence of oxidation of magnetite/maghemite to hematite. Isothermal magnetization experiments are performed on each superstructure in two perpendicular principal directions each. Results are consistently described with the MFISP model by considering two hierarchies of clustering: beads themselves and clusters within the beads. From the whole set of experiments, it is possible to estimate values for the volume fractions of particles in clusters and clusters in beads, given by xpc=0.46(15) and xcb=0.16(5). The susceptibility of non-interacting particles, ?=13(4), is also obtained, which results about five times larger than the measured (apparent) one. The MFISP model proves to be a convenient and efficient tool for the analysis of magnetization studies of complex 3d dispersions of magnetic nanoparticles, allowing an experimental determination of relevant physical information, otherwise not accessible by magnetic measurements. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.Ítem Green synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles using leaf extracts of Aloe vera and Kalanchoe daigremontiana to remove divalent mercury from natural waters(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2019-01-01) Morales G.; Campillo G.; Vélez E.; Osorio J.; Urquijo J.; Velásquez Á.A.; Morales G.; Campillo G.; Vélez E.; Osorio J.; Urquijo J.; Velásquez Á.A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias; Electromagnetismo Aplicado (Gema)In this study, magnetic nanoparticles of magnetite were prepared by an eco-friendly method using aqueous leaf extracts of Aloe vera and Kalanchoe daigremontiana. These vegetal extracts have suitable characteristics such as high availability, low cost, and serve as good colloidal stabilizers. Synthetized products were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Room Temperature Mossbauer Spectroscopy (RT-MS), and their potential use as adsorbents for Hg (II) removal in natural waters was evaluated by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). Size distribution and morphology of the products obtained by TEM show spherical nanoparticles composites, with sizes between 3 and 10 nm for both extracts. Mossbauer spectra are consistent with superparamagnetic particles for both samples. Moreover, particles from both extracts showed mercury removal efficiencies above 75%. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.Ítem Synthesis and characterization of magnetite-maghemite nanoparticles obtained by the high-energy ball milling method(Springer Netherlands, 2018-03-13) Velásquez, A. A.; Marín, C; Urquijo, P; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias Básicas; Electromagnetismo Aplicado (Gema)We present the process of synthesis and characterization of magnetite-maghemite nanoparticles by the ball milling method. The particles were synthesized in a planetary ball mill equipped with vials and balls of tempered steel, employing dry and wet conditions. For dry milling, we employed microstructured analytical-grade hematite (a-Fe2O3), while for wet milling, we mixed hematite and deionized water. Milling products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, room temperature Mössbauer spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, and atomic absorption spectroscopy. The Mössbauer spectrum of the dry milling product was well fitted with two sextets of hematite, while the spectrum of the wet milling product was well fitted with three sextets of spinel phase. X-ray measurements confirmed the phases identified by Mössbauer spectroscopy in both milling conditions and a reduction in the crystallinity of the dry milling product. TEM measurements showed that the products of dry milling for 100 h and wet milling for 24 h consist of aggregates of nanoparticles distributed in size, with mean particle size of 10 and 15 nm, respectively. Magnetization measurements of the wet milling product showed little coercivity and a saturation magnetization around 69 emu g-1, characteristic of a nano-spinel system. Atomic absorption measurements showed that the chromium contamination in the wet milling product is approximately two orders of magnitude greater than that found in the dry milling product for 24 h, indicating that the material of the milling bodies, liberated more widely in wet conditions, plays an important role in the conversion hematite-spinel phase. © 2018, Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature.
