Akkurt, Nevzat; Altan, Cem Levent; Sarac, Mehmet Fahri
The synthesis of nanoparticles by the continuous flow process is of great interest since it allows extensive control over reaction conditions with high precision and provides enhanced production capacity with excellent heat and mass transfer rates at high pressures and temperatures. In this study, iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via continuous flow process in combined micro- and milli-sized reactors in the presence of citric acid at variable functional ratios from 1:1 to 1:5. The results illustrated the possibility of continuous production of superparamagnetic magnetite and/or maghemite nanoparticles at the size range of 4.3 to 4.6 nm that exhibit remarkable colloidal stability in triethylene glycol (TEG) and saturation magnetizations up to 52 emu/g. Additionally, the nucleation and growth stages of nanoparticles were found to be unaffected by the presence of citric acid (CA) while an increase in the functional ratio was shown to affect the magnetic properties due to the presence of a non-magnetic layer around the particles. Furthermore, the viability of human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) cell lines was investigated with several concentrations of magnetic nanoparticles, and the biocompatibility of nanoparticles was illustrated at certain particle loadings after 48 h expressing the potential use in biomedical applications.

Altundogan, Hamdi Soner; Topdemir, Aykut; Çakmak, Meltem; Bahar, Nurdan
In this study, an effective cation exchanger was developed from the pine cone by citric acid modification and its hardness removal properties from the waters were investigated. For this purpose, ground pine cone samples were subjected to a citric acid modification following NaOH saponification. Both of the raw (RPC) and modified pine cone (MPC) samples were subjected to standardized hardness removal tests by shaking with hard waters. These tests showed that citric acid modification significantly increases the cation exchange capacity of the pine cone. Most suitable size fraction of pine cone was determined as -16 + 30 mesh (600 mu m < x < 1200 mu m). Also, citric acid modified product obtained from this fraction was used in a continuous system to remove hardness from water. The results of this study showed that the MPC can be used for hardness removal from waters as a cheap, durable and environment -friendly material. Finally, regeneration experiments showed that the MPC can be used for hardness removal from water repeatedly by a simple HCl regeneration. (C) 2015 Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers.
