I am working on the effect of nanoparticles on biogas production enhancement from anaerobic digestion . Any suggestions for using mixture of nano ash and nano zero valent metal (Iron or any other)? will it be called as hybrid nanoparticle?
There are various methods for the production of iron-oxide Nanoparticles. synthesis of biocompatible magnet iron oxide nanoparticles by modified polyol process for biomedical applications.
The synthesis is done by the reduction of ferric chloride using ethylene glycol. Here 2 g of ferric chloride (NICE) is reduced by 40 mL ethylene glycol and 0.1 ml 34% HCl under continuous stirring at 50-60 oC for about 24 hours.
The solution is heated and stirred until the solution become brown. The nanoparticles are formed in the solution by slow reduction. Yellow brown colour solution turns dark brown after the reaction.
