A novel biosorbent, immobilized Saccharomyces cerevisiae in magnetic chitosan microspheres was prepared, characterized, and used for the removal of $Sr^{2+}$ from aqueous solution. The structure and morphology of immobilized S. cerevisiae before and after $Sr^{2+}$adsorption were observed using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The experimental results showed that the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models could be used to describe the $Sr^{2+}$ adsorption onto immobilized S. cerevisiae microspheres. The maximal adsorption capacity ($q_m$) was calculated to be 81.96 mg/g by the Langmuir model. Immobilized S. cerevisiae was an effective adsorbent for the $Sr^{2+}$ removal from aqueous solution.

Ultrafine $Co_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ powders have been fabricated by a sol-gel method. Structural and magnetic properties of the powders were investigated by x-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Mossbauer spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). Co-Mn ferrite powders that were fired at and above 773 K contained only a single spinel phase and behaved ferrimagnetically. Powders fired at 673 and 723 K had a spinel structure and were mixed paramagnetic and ferrimagnetic in nature. The magnetic behavior of Co-Mn ferrite powders fired at and above 873 K showed that an increase of the firing temperature yielded a decrease in the coercivity and an increase in the saturation magnetization. The maximum saturation magnetization and coercivity of Co-Mn ferrite powders were 66.7 emu/g and 1523 Oe, respectively, Mossbauer spectra of the powder fired at 923 K were taken at various temperatures ranging from 13 to 850 K. The iron ions.at both A (tetrahedral) and B (octahedral) sites were found to be in ferric high-spin states. The Nel temperature $T_N$ was found to be 850 $\pm$ 2 K. Debye temperatures far A and B sites were found to be $\Theta_A = 757 \pm$5K and $Theta_B = 282 \pm$5 K, respectively.

This study investigates experimentally the impact of magnetized water (MW) on the fresh and hardened characteristics of concrete. Five types of MW are produced using magnetic fields of 1.4 and 1.6 Tesla for treating water with 100, 150, and 250 cycles. The concrete properties are assessed using the slump test, compressive strength test, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FTIR). Furthermore, the chemical-physical characteristics of tap water (TW) and MW are evaluated. The results showed the magnetic field intensity has a significant impact on the magnetization effect; the best magnetizing conditions were found when TW was exposed successively to magnetic fields of 1.6 T and 1.4 T for 150 cycles. In addition, 150 MW cycles can be used to improve the compressive strength and workability of concrete by 40% and 17%, respectively. pH, total dissolved solids, and electrical conductivity improved by 15%, 17%, and 7%, respectively, when using MW. Additionally, MW can be used to enhance cement hydration chemical processes and made concrete's structure denser.

SiO₂-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ NPs) were modified by 3-nitrobenzelidenmalononitrile and used as green linkages for removal of Hg²⁺ form the wastewater. In this research, it has been attempted to refer to the harmful effects of mercury ions for living things and how to remove such ions using very easy and practical technique. This study shows that by optimizing the test conditions, the efficiency of the removal of harmful ions such as mercury from the water contaminated with these ions can be increased. Conditions such as temperature, speed of agitation, pH of solution were tested for removal of mercury ions. The advantages of this method over other methods listed in the article are the rapid and easy nanocry synthesis. The generated and modified Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, fourier transform infrared and scanning electron microscopy spectroscopy. The results show that the synthesized magnetic nanoparticles have the excellent performance for the removal of mercury(II) ion from the waste water.

본 연구에서는 분산제 및 산화제를 전혀 첨가하지 않은 채 고압 균질기를 사용하여 $Fe(OH)_2$ 현탁액으로부터 합성된 마그네타이트 나노입자의 자기 특성에 미치는 공정 압력의 영향을 체계적으로 조사하였다. 관측된 X-선 회절 패턴으로부터 모든 나노입자가 마그네타이트의 역스피넬 구조를 가진다는 것을 알 수 있었다. X-선 회절 및 투과전자현미경 분석 결과로부터 마그네타이트 나노입자의 평균 입자 크기는 고압 균질화 과정의 공정 압력에 의해 조절될 수 있는 것으로 드러났다. 평균 입자 크기는 21에서 26 nm에 이르며, 공정 압력이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 시료진동형 자화율 측정기를 사용하여 상온에서 측정된 자기 이력 곡선으로부터 1500 bar의 공정 압력 조건에서 합성된 마그네타이트 나노분말이 초상자성 거동을 나타내는 것을확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, Fe₃O₄-ACCS-Ag nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully synthesized using silica extracted from corn cob ash. The synthesized Fe₃O₄-ACCS-Ag NPs were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopyenergy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In addition, the potential application of Fe₃O₄-ACCS-Ag NPs as an antibacterial material in water disinfection was investigated using Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 as model bacteria. The antibacterial activity of synthesized composite material showed 99.9% antibacterial effect within 20 min for the tested bacteria. From this experiment, the synthesized Fe₃O₄-ACCS-Ag nanocomposites also hold magnetic properties and could be easily recovered from the water solution for its reuse. The reused nanocomposites presented the decreasing antibacterial efficiencies with the reuse cycle but the composite used three times still killed 90% of bacteria in 20 min.

페라이트기 11Cr 저탄소강의 자기적 특성에 대한 고온 장시간 시효열화의 영향에 대해서 연구하였다. 장시간 시효시간이 증가함에 따라서 자기이력곡선으로부터 구한 보자력, 자기이력손실은 감소하였고 이들은 시효시간에 대해 2차 지수함수 관계를 나타내었다. 비커스 경도 역시 시효시간의 증가에 따라서 감소하여 기계적 물성의 연화를 나타내었다. 미세조직적 분석으로 주사전자현미경, 후방산란전자 및 X-선 회절시험을 수행하였다. 입계에서는 $Cr_{23}C_6$ 석출물의 급격한 성장과 입내의 래스 경계부에서 Laves ($Fe_2W$)상이 발달하였다. 조대한 석출물들로 인해 장시간 시효열화에 따라서 고용원소의 고갈과 래스 하부조직이 소멸되었다. 이는 자기적 물성과 기계적 물성의 연화현상과 밀접한 관련을 갖게 된다.

The charge and magnetic characteristics of LM (Low-metallic) and NAO (Non-asbestos-organic) brake wear particles were analyzed. The ratio of charged particles from total particles is about 86% of the LM pad and about 92% of the NAO pad. Number of charge per particle from the NAO pad is also higher than that of the LM pad. The ratio of magnetic particles from total particles increases with the particle size. The ratio of magnetic particles from the LM pad is about 15% for the particles with the size of 1 ㎛, and about 74% for ones with 5 ㎛. The ratio from the NAO pad is about 5% for the particles with the size from 0.5 ㎛ to 2 ㎛, and about 80% for the particles with 5 ㎛. Through the analysis of the components of the two pads with SEM-EDS (Scanning Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy), it was found that the LM pad was occupied with more iron fraction than the NAO pad and that PM_2.5-10 was occupied with more iron fraction than PM_2.5. The particles smaller than 10 ㎛ (i.e. PM₁₀) from the LM pad contained about 83% of charged particles, about 43% of magnetic particles, and about 93% of charged or magnetic particles. PM₁₀ from the NAO pad contained about 88% of charged particles, about 15% of magnetic particles, and about 89% of charged or magnetic particles.

Hexagonal barium-ferrite ($BaFe_{12}O_{19}$, magnetoplumbite structure; BaM) film with perpendicularly c-axis orientation was successfully deposited on (100) silicon substrates with an MgO (111) underlayer by rf diode sputtering and in-situ heating at $920^{\circ}C$. The magnetic and structural properties of 0.27 ${\mu}m$ thick BaM films on MgO (111) underlayers were compared to films of the same thickness deposited onto single-crystal MgO (111) and c-plane ($000{\ell}$) sapphire ($Al_2O_3$) substrates by vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), x-ray diffractometer (XRD), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The thickness dependence of MgO (111) underlayers on silicon wafer was found to have a large effect on both magnetic and structural properties of the BaM film. The thickness of 15 nm MgO (111) underlayers produced BaM films with almost identical magnetic and structural properties as the single-crystal substrates; this can be explained by the lower surface roughness for thinner underlayer thicknesses. The magnetization saturation ($M_s$) and the ratio $H_{cII}/H_{c{\bot}}$ for the BaM film with a 15 nm MgO (111) underlayer is 217 emu/cc and 0.24, respectively. This is similar to the results for the BaM films deposited on the single-crystal MgO (111) and sapphire substrates of 197 emu/cc and 0.10, 200 emu/cc and 0.12, respectively. Therefore, the proposed MgO (111) underlayer can be used in many applications to promote c-axis orientation without the cost of expensive substrates.
