Iron Oxide Nanoparticles: Biosynthesis, Magnetic Behavior, Cytotoxic Effect

Abstract Iron oxide nanoparticles have attracted much attention because of their superparamagnetic properties and their potential applications in many fields such as magnetic storage devices, catalysis, sensors, superparamagnetic relaxometry (SPMR), and high‐sensitivity biomolecule magnetic resonanc...

description Abstract Iron oxide nanoparticles have attracted much attention because of their superparamagnetic properties and their potential applications in many fields such as magnetic storage devices, catalysis, sensors, superparamagnetic relaxometry (SPMR), and high‐sensitivity biomolecule magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for medical diagnosis and therapeutics. In this study, iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3 NPs) have been synthesized using a taranjabin (camelthorn or persian manna) aqueous solution. The synthesized Fe2O3 NPs were identified through powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), field energy scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy‐dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), vibrating‐sample magnetometer (VSM) and Raman technics. The results show that the nanoparticles have a hexagonal structure with 20 to 60 nm in size. The cytotoxic effect of the synthesized nanoparticles has been tested upon application against lung cancer cell (A549) lines. It was found that there is no cytotoxic activity at lower concentrations of 200 μg/mL. The ability of the synthesized nanoparticles for lead removal in wastewaters was tested. Results show that highest concentration of adsorbent (50 mg/L) has maximum removal efficiency (96.73 %). So, synthesized Fe2O3 NPs can be a good candidate to use as heavy metals cleaner from contaminated waters.
