미생물을 이용한 광물 합성은 현재 초기 연구 단계에 있으나 신소재 개발 측면에서 다양한 활용 가능성을 보이고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 철 환원 박테리아를 이용한 코발트로 치환된 자철석의 합성 및 이의 광물학적 특성을 알아보는데 있다. 호열성 철 환원 박테리아인 TOR-39는 65에서 비정질 철 수화물과 코발트 이온 ($Co^{2+}$ 와 $Co^{3+}$ )을 환원 및 침전시켜 자철석을 합성하였다. EPMA 분석과 X-선회절분석 결과에 의하면 호열성 박테리아가 철수화물을 환원시켜 자철석을 합성시킬 때, 코발트 이온도 동시에 환원 및 침전시켜 코발트로 치환된 자철석을 형성시킨다. 미생물에 의한 코발트로 치환된 자철석의 합성은 나노미터 크기로 생성되기 때문에 산업적으로 많은 이용 가치가 있을 것으로 본다.

A preparation of $Ni_xMn_{1-x}Fe_2O_4$ nanoparticles produced via the reduction of Nickel nitrate hexahydrate, Manganese (II) nitrate hexahydrate and Iron nitrate nonahydrate with hydrazine in Igepal CO-520/cyclohexane reverse micelle solutions was investigated. Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Vibration Sample Magnetometer (VSM) analyses showed that the resultant nanoparticles increased the molar ration of water to Igepal CO-520 as the concentrations of Nickel nitrate hexahyrate, Manganese (II) nitrate hexahydrate and Iron nitrate nonahydrate increased. The average size of the synthesized particles calcined at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2hrs was in the range of 20 nm to 30 nm, and the particle distribution was broadened. The phase of the synthesized particles was crystalline, and the magnetic behavior of the synthesized particles was superparamagnetism. The effect of the synthesis parameters of the molar ratio of water to surfactant and the calcination temperature was discussed.

FePt nanoparticles suspension was synthesized by reduction of platinum acetylacetonate and decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl in the presence of oleic acid and oleyl amine. FePt nanoparticles were coated on a substrate by convective assembly from the suspension. To prevent the coalescence during the annealing of FePt nanoparticles double convective coatings were tried. First convective coating was for silica particle assembly on a silicon substrate and second one was for FePt nanoparticles on the previously coated silica layers. It was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) that FePt nanoparticles were dispersed on the silica particle surface. After annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes under nitrogen atmosphere, FePt nanoparticles on silica particles were maintained in a dispersed state with slight increase of particle size. On the contrary, FePt nanoparticles that were directly coated on silicon substrate showed severe particle growth after annealing due to the close-packing of nanoparticles during assembly. The size variation during annealing was also verified by X-ray diffractometer (XRD). It was suggested that pre-coating, which offered solvent flux oppose to the capillary force between FePt nanoparticles, was an effective method to prevent coalescence of nano-sized particles under high temperature annealing.

카르복시메틸 셀룰로즈(carboxymethyl cellulose, CMC)와 같은 안정화제는 오염된 지하대수층에서 영가철 나노입자의 이동을 촉진할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 CMC로 개질된 영가철 나노입자의 이동성을 컬럼실험을 통해 조사하였다. CMC로 개질된 100 mg/L 영가철 나노입자는 모래로 이루어진 공극매체에서 이동이 가능하였다. 하지만 비개질된 영가철 나노입자는 제조된 용액에서 쉽게 엉김현상이 나타났고, 모래로 이루어진 공극매체에서 통과하지 못했다. pH가 7일 때 영가철 나노입자 약 80%가 컬럼을 통과하여 흘러나왔다. pH가 5이하로 감소할 때는, 100%의 CMC로 개질 된 영가철 나노입자는 100%가 흘러나왔다. 이온강도세기 실험에서 $Na^+$과 $Ca^{2+}$ 이온의 농도가 증가함에 따라 CMC로 개질된 영가철의 이동성이 다소 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 점토과 자연유기물(natural organic matter, NOM) 영향 실험에서는, 1과 5%의 점토와 100과 1000 mg/L의 자연유기물질은 CMC로 개질된 영가철 나노입자의 이동성에는 크게 영향을 주지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 실험의 결과로부터 CMC로 개질된 영가철 나노입자는 다양한 이온세기, 자연유기물농도 및 점토함량을 가진 토양내에서도 효과적으로 이동될 것으로 기대된다.

금속나노입자는 진단이나 치료를 포함한 의생명응용분야에 있어 매력적인 특징들을 갖고 있다. 양성자 빔 치료를 위한 방사선증감제로 사용하기 위해 가교덱스트란이 코팅된 산화철나노입자(SPIONs)와 실리카가 코팅된 산화가돌리늄나노입자(SPGONs)를 합성하였다. 덱스트란과 실리카는 각각 SPIONs와 SPGONs의 보호수단이다. 합성된 SPIONs와 SPGONs를 투과전자현미경(TEM)으로 분석한 결과 각각 평균 직경이 3~5 nm와 30~100 nm였다. 합성된 방사선 증감제의 효과를 평가하기 위해 세포생존곡선 측정과 Western blotting을 수행하였다. 측정된 세포생존곡선으로부터 계산된 90% 세포사멸 시 방사선증감비는 SPIONs와 SPGONs에 대하여 각각 1.23과 1.03이었다. Western blotting 결과 역시 Cytochrome C의 발현량이 SPIONs를 처리한 암세포에서 유의적으로 증가됨을 보였다.

A method for degradation of the perchlorate anion ($ClO{_4}^-$) has been studied using electrochemically generated zero-valent iron (ZVI) deposited on a porous carbon electrode. The first strategy of this study is to produce the ZVI via the electrochemical reduction of iron (II) on a porous carbon electrode coated with a conducting polymer, instead of employing expensive $NaBH_4$. The present method produced well distributed ZVI on conducting polymer (polypyrrole thin film) and increased surface area. ZVI surface can be regenerated easily for successive reduction. The second strategy is to apply a mild reducing condition (-0.3 V) to enhance the efficiency of the degradation of perchlorate with ZVI without the evolution of hydrogen. The electrochemically generated ZVI nanoparticles may offer an alternative means for the complete destruction perchlorate without evolution of hydrogen in water with high efficiency and at low cost.

Nanoparticles of iron oxides have been prepared by the levitational gas condensation (LGC) method, and their structural and magnetic properties were studied by XRD, TEM and Mossbauer spectroscopy. Fe clusters were evaporated from a surface of the levitated liquid Fe droplet and then condensed into nanoparticles of iron oxide with particle size of 14 to 30 nm in a chamber filled with mixtures of Ar and $O_2$ gases. It was found that the phase transition from both $\gamma$-$Fe_2O_3$ and $\alpha$-Fe to $Fe_3O_4$, which was evaluated from the results of Mossbauer spectra, strongly depended on the $O_2$ flow rate. As a result, $\gamma$-$Fe_2O_3$ was synthesized under the $O_2$ flow rate of 0.1$\leq$$Vo_2$(Vmin)$\leq$0.15, whereas $Fe_3O_4$ was synthesized under the $O_2$, flow rate of 0.15$\leq$$Vo_2$(Vmin)$\leq$0.2.

We produced magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) and a Mg-rich solution as a nano-adsorbent and a coagulant for water treatment, respectively, using a low-grade iron ore. The ore was leached with aqueous hydrochloric acid and its impurities were removed by solvent extraction of the leachate using tri-n-butyl phosphate as an extractant. The content of Si and Mg, which inhibit the formation of MNPs, was reduced from 10.3 wt% and 15.5 wt% to 28.1 mg/L and < 1.4 mg/L, respectively. Consequently, the Fe content increased from 68.6 wt% to 99.8 wt%. The high-purity $Fe^{3+}$ solution recovered was used to prepare 5-15-nm MNPs by coprecipitation. The wastewater produced contained a large amount of $Mg^{2+}$ and can be used to precipitate struvite in sewage treatment. This process helps reduce the cost of both sewage and iron-orewastewater treatments, as well as in the economic production of the nano-adsorbent.
