Description

Application

• Production of microalgal-based carbon encapsulated iron nanoparticles (ME-nFe) to remove heavy metals in wastewater: This study explores the application of ammonium iron(III) sulfate dodecahydrate in the synthesis of microalgal-based carbon encapsulated iron nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are used for the efficient removal of heavy metals from wastewater, presenting a significant advancement in environmental cleanup technologies (Mantovani et al., 2023).


• pH responsive controlled release of anti-cancer hydrophobic drugs from sodium alginate and hydroxyapatite bi-coated iron oxide nanoparticles: This research utilizes ammonium iron(III) sulfate dodecahydrate in the development of sodium alginate and hydroxyapatite bi-coated iron oxide nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are designed for the pH-responsive controlled release of hydrophobic anti-cancer drugs, offering potential enhancements in targeted cancer therapy (Manatunga et al., 2017).
