Magnetite is the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals on Earth. Naturally magnetised pieces of magnetite, called lodestone, will attract small pieces of iron, and this was how ancient man first discovered the property of magnetism. This book gathers and presents current research from across the globe in the study of magnetite; its structure, properties and applications. Some topics discussed, herein, include adsorption and magnetothermal phenomena of high-disperse magnetite; electrochemical properties of magnetite and its role in flow accelerated corrosion; the unique structures and properties of magnetite and its relevance to biology and biotechnology; the synthesis methods of magnetite particles in wet chemistry; and magnetic hyperthermia studies in magnetite ferrofluids.
The mystery of how migrating animals find their way over unfamiliar terrain has intrigued people for centuries, and has been the focus of productive research in the biological sci ences for several decades. Whether or not the earth's magnetic field had anything to do with their navigational abilities has sufaced and been dismissed several times, beginning at least in the mid to late 1800s. This topic generally remained out of the mainstream of scientific research for two reasons: (1) The apparent irreproducibility of many of the be havioral experiments which were supposed to demonstrate the existence of the magnetic sense; and (2) Perceived theoretical difficulties which were encountered whe...
"Magnetite is a naturally occurring iron-oxide mineral with applications in several industries. This monograph includes five chapters that detail various aspects of magnetite. Chapter One focuses on understanding magnetite and its modifications in the context of the cancer treatment modality magnetic hyperthermia. Chapter Two examines various aspects of synthesis and characterizations of magnetic nanoparticles, surface functionalization and enzyme immobilization with improved catalysis, stability, and reusability. Chapter Three presents data on the effect of magnetoacoustic emission and its relation to the behavior of the domain structure of magnetites formed under various conditions. Chapter Four highlights the detection of trace levels of pesticides and drugs in different environmental samples by using magnetite-molecularly imprinted polymers. Lastly, Chapter Five discusses the methods of synthesis and typical characteristics of magnetite-based nanocomposites that can be used for different applications"--
Magnetite is one of the two most important iron ores, the other being hematite. Although hematite is more abundant world-wide, magnetite is more widely used in North America. Some of the notable iron ranges in the US include the Mesabi Range in Minnesota and the Marquette and Menominee Ranges of Michigan. Magnetite is a black, opaque, magnetic mineral, and its spinal crystal structure contains both the ferrous (Fe+2) and ferric (Fe+3) forms of iron ions, and exhibits a ferromagnetic property. Magnetite ore is upgraded by magnetic separation from a low-grade taconite ore. This book discusses the synthesis, uses and biological occurrences of magnetite.
