In this study, magnetite and cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were used as seeds for acid mine drainage (AMD) treatment at pH of 7.05±0.35. Duplicate samples of AMD, one without heating and another with heating at 60°C was treated under continuous stirring for 1h. The filtrate analysis results from ICP-OES have shown complete removal of Al, Mg, and Mn, while for Fe, Ni and Zn over 90% removals were recorded. Particularly, settling time has significant effect on the removal of Mg, Ca and Na. The results from SQUID have shown superparamagnetic properties of the synthesised magnetic nanoparticles and ferrite sludge. The recovered nanoparticles from AMD are economically important and reduce the cost of waste disposal.

Nanoparticles have gained attention as drug delivery vehicles for cancer treatment, but often struggle with poor tumor accumulation and penetration. Single external magnets can enhance magnetic nanoparticle delivery but are limited to superficial tumors due to the rapid decline in the magnetic field strength with distance. We previously showed that a 2-magnet device could extend targeting to greater tissue depths.

Cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1) is considered to be a potential marker for the diagnosis and of classification of lung cancer. It is highly desired to develop rapid and highly sensitive label-free chemiluminescence (CL) immunosensors for the detection of CYFRA21-1. In this work, magnetic core-shell nanocomposite FeO@nickel-cobalt double hydroxide (FeO@DH) was used for the first time as a carrier to synthesize N-(4-aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol (ABEI) and gold and silver nanocluster (AuAgNC) bifunctionalized magnetic nanomaterials FeO@DH/AuAgNCs-ABEI.

Article Synopsis
- - Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are tiny particles (1 to 100 nanometers) made from magnetic materials, possessing unique properties that differ from larger forms; they are increasingly used in various fields such as medicine and technology.
- - Their small size and magnetic behavior allow for manipulation with external magnetic fields, making them useful for targeted medical applications like drug delivery and imaging, while also being explored for environmental and energy-related uses.
- - Despite the growing applications of MNPs, there are important concerns about their safety, such as potential toxicity and how they interact with cells, which is becoming a focus of both research and clinical studies.

Green rust (GR), as a vital intermediate product during the formation of various iron oxides, exists with organic matters and metals contaminants in natural environments. Understanding the effects of these natural factors on the transformation process of GR into iron oxides and the environmental behaviors of heavy metals and organic matters during process are critical for environmental quality management, but the fundamental identification of the interaction mechanisms between them and GR is still challenging. In this study, the transformation mechanisms of Co-bearing green rust (GR-Co) synthesized by co-precipitation, and the redistribution behaviors of Co(II) in an environment containing oxalic acid (OA) and citric acid (CA) were clarified.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes find applications in many fields due to their extraordinary properties. However, depending on their synthesis method, they show no or a poor response to the presence of a magnetic field. This limits their usability in magnetic applications.
