Toxicity of iron oxide nanoparticles on microalgae chlorella sp

Toxicity of iron oxide nanoparticles on microalgae chlorella sp / Joanna Tai Wan Yii
Keleluasaan aplikasi nanopartikel besi oksida telah meningkatkan kesedaran terhadap ketosikannya terhadap persekitaran. Namun begitu, informasi yang boleh diperolehi untuk memastikan keselamatannya untuk diguna amat terhad. Untuk memperbaikkan kestabilan koloid nanopartikel besi oksida, pengubahsuaian permukaan dengan pengikat polimer amatlah biasa dilakukan, terutamanya dalam perpisahan magnetophoretic mikroalga. Dalam kajian ini, ketoksikan 25nm nanopartikel besi oksida yang telah diubahsuai permukaan dikaji terhadap kinetik pertumbuhan dan juga impak ke atas kandungan lipid, karbohidrat dan protein mikroalga Chlorella sp.. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa nanopartikel besi oksida yang bersalut dengan PDDA memberi kesan negatif yang terbesar kepada Chlorella sp. berbanding dengan nanopartikel oksida besi bogel dan bersalut dengan kitosan. Ini disebabkan oleh sifat-sifat toksik PDDA dan juga keupayaan untuk menggumpal dan menghalang sel-sel daripada pengambilan nutrien dan menyebabkan kesan teduhan cahaya. Kesan kepekatan nanopartikel dari 0.15mg/L, 1mg/L, 5mg/L, 10mg/L ke 20mg/L juga dikaji. Keputusan menunjukkan kesan negative terhadap sel bertambah dengan kepekatan nanopartikel besi oksida yang ditambah ke mikroalga. Sementara itu, pendedahan kepada 20mg/L nanopartikel mempunyai kesan memudaratkan pertumbuhan alga yang paling ketara. Dalam kajian ini, dua saiz besi oksida iaitu 25nm dan 300nm telah dikaji dalam Chlorella sp. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa kedua-dua saiz partikel tidak mempunyai perbezaan yang ketara mengenai kesan ke atas Chlorella sp. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the growing of iron oxide nanoparticles applications, the concern about the toxicity of it towards environment was highlighted, yet not much information could be obtained to clarify its safety. Iron oxide nanoparticles were surface functionalized commonly with polymer binder in order to improve its colloidal stability, especially in magnetophoretic separation of microalgae. In this study, the toxicity of bare and surface functionalized 25nm iron oxide nanoparticles were studied on the microalgae Chlorella sp. growth kinetics and also the impact on its lipid, carbohydrate and protein contents. The study showed that PDDA coated iron oxide nanoparticles have the greatest negative impact on Chlorella sp. compared to bare and chitosan coated iron oxide nanoparticles which might due to the toxic properties of PDDA and also the ability to agglomerate and inhibit nutrient uptake and cause light shading effect. The impacts of nanoparticle concentration ranging from 0.15mg/L, to 20mg/L were also studied. The result showed that higher the concentration of iron oxide nanoparticles added in microalgae, the greater the detrimental effect towards the growth of alga with exposure to 20 mg/L showing the worst impact. In this study, the two iron oxide with the size of 25nm and 300nm studied on Chlorella sp. showed that these two sizes of particles has no significant difference on the impact towards Chlorella sp.
