Abstract

Superparamagnetic nanoparticles can find many applications in different fields with greener techniques. The Fe3O4 nanoparticles less than 10nm coated with humic acid were synthesized by a chemical co-precipitation technique with cheap and environmental friendly iron salts and humic acid. The as-synthesized products were highly soluble in water. The efficacy for liver Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent was investigated by using it to the live rat and tumor-bearing rabbit models, on a conventional clinical 1.5 T MRI facility. Moreover the Fe3O4 –HA composite used in the Methylene Blue adsorption in neutral aqueous solution was studied too with high efficiency. The experimental results showed that the humic acid coated Fe3O4 superparamagnetic nanoparticles were suitalbe not only for liver MRI contrast agent, but also as adsorbents for removal of cationic organic dyes from neutral water.
