Article Abstract
This investigation reports the preparation of agglomerated FeO nanoparticles and evaluation of its utility as a viable carrier in the preparation of radiolanthanides as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of arthritis. The material was synthesized by a chemical route and characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, EDX and TEM analysis. The surface of agglomerated particle possessed ion pairs (-O:Na) after dispersing particles in a NaHCO solution at pH = 7 which is conducive for radiolanthanide (*Ln = Y, Sm, Ho, Er, Lu) loading by replacement of Na ions with tripositive radiolanthanide ions. Radiolanthanide-loaded particulates exhibited excellent in vitro stability up to ∼3 half-lives of the respective lanthanide radionuclides when stored in normal saline at 37 °C. The radiochemical purities of the loaded particulates were found to be retained to the extent of >70% after 48 h of storage when challenged by a strong chelator DTPA present at a concentration as high as 5 mM, indicating fairly strong chemical association of lanthanides with agglomerated FeO nanoparticles. Biodistribution studies of Y and Ho-loaded particulates carried out after intra-articular injection into one of the knee joints of a normal Wistar rat revealed near-complete retention of the radioactive preparations (>98% of the administered radioactivity) within the joint cavity even after 72 h post injection. This was further confirmed by sequential whole-body radio-luminescence imaging. These experimental results are indicative of the potential use of radiolanthanide-loaded agglomerated FeO nanoparticles for the treatment of arthritis.

To efficiently convert the biomass wastes, chemical looping gasification has been proposed as a highly effective method to produce hydrogen-rich syngas. The lattice oxygens in oxygen carriers can supplant molecular oxygens, thereby improving syngas quality. However, the complex interactions between oxygen carrier and biomass ash are inevitable, obviously affecting reactivity of oxygen carrier.

Conventional iron-based catalysts are prone to aggregation and deactivation in the heterogeneous electro-Fenton (hetero-EF) process resulting in electrocatalytic activity reduction. Herein, a simple one-pot strategy using potassium ferrate (KFeO) as both oxidant and iron source was developed to synthesize a novel yavapaiite confined in graphite oxide (KFe(SO)-in-GO) nano-electrocatalyst. GO with spatial confinement effect and surface negativity could in-situ incorporate KFe(SO) nanoparticles inside the interlayer space and inhibit the agglomeration.

The recurring global outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases and the lack of vaccines, and preventive therapeutic approaches to combat diseases coupled with insecticide resistance, eventually emphasize the necessity of developing biological system-focused mosquito control strategies. In the present study, aqueous leaf extract from the Phyllanthus acidus L. plant was used to synthesize the metal nanoparticles (MNPs) such as silver, copper oxide, iron oxide, and zinc oxide, characterization has been carried out and their efficacies were also tested against the early 3rd instar larvae of the major mosquito vectors.

This study details the synthesis of a novel ternary nanocomposite composed of MnFeO, FeVO, and modified zeolite, achieved through a two-step process. The initial step involved the hydrothermal synthesis of the MnFeO/FeVO composite, followed by its application onto modified zeolite using ultrasonic waves. The synthesized nanocomposite was thoroughly characterized using a range of analytical techniques.

Article Synopsis
- Cadmium contamination in aquatic systems is a major environmental issue, and this study introduces a new hybrid material called Fe-TWBC, made from combining solid waste iron tailings and biochar through co-pyrolysis.
- Characterization analyses indicated that the metal oxides from iron tailings were effectively integrated into the biochar, enhancing its surface functionality.
- The Fe-TWBC demonstrated a significantly higher capacity for cadmium adsorption (95.06 mg·g) compared to both pristine biochar and iron tailings, and adsorption behavior was consistent with established kinetic and isotherm models, showcasing its potential for environmental cleanup and sustainable waste utilization.
