E-mail: Davaran@tbzmed.ac.irReceived July 19, 2012, Accepted September 3, 2012Iron-oxide nanoparticles (IONs) with biocompatible coatings are the only nanostructural materials which havebeen approved by the FDA for clinical use. Common biocompatible coatings such as hydrocarbons, polymers,and silica have profound influences on critical characteristics of IONs. Recently, amino acids were introducedas a novel biocompatible coating. In the present study, the effects of amino acids on IONs synthesis andcharacteristics have been evaluated.

Impact of Amino-Acid Coating on the Synthesis and Characteristics of Iron-Oxide Nanoparticles (IONs)

With the decrease of fossil based fuels and the environmental impact of them over the planet, it seems necessary to seek the sustainable sources of clean energy. Biofuels, is becoming a worldwide leader in the development of renewable energy resources. It is worthwhile to say that algal biofuel production is thought to help stabilize the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and decrease global warming impacts. Also, among algal fuels’ attractive characteristics, algal biodiesel is non toxic, with no sulfur, highly biodegradable and relatively harmless to the environment if spilled. Algae are capable of producing in excess of 30 times more oil per acre than corn and soybean crops. Currently, algal biofuel production has not been commercialized due to high costs associated with production, harvesting and oil extraction but the technology is progressing. Extensive research was conducted to determine the utilization of microalgae as an energy source and make algae oil production commercially viable.

Microalgae biofuel potentials (Review)

Preparation of novel magnetic fluorescent nanoparticles using amino acids.

The effluents from wastewater contain nutrients (NH+4, NO−3 and PO−34) which have been identified as the main causes leading to eutrophication in natural waters. Therefore, the wastewater must receive suitable treatment before being discharged into water bodies. Microalgae play an effective role during urban wastewater treatment. In this work five strains of microalgae growing as free-cells were used and compared to test their ability to remove nitrogen-nitrate (NO−3-N) and orthophosphate (PO3−4-P) in batch cultures of urban wastewater. The microalgae with the best cell growth configuration were selected, and introduced as a suitable strain for nutrient removal. Results indicate that Chlorella sp. (YG01) showed a higher N uptake rate (84.11%) and Chlamydomonas sp. (YG04) and Chlamydomonas sp. (YG05) showed a higher P uptake rate (100%) in urban wastewater than other species. Also during 2 weeks of each experiment, most of the N and P removal was occurred at the first 4 days.
