Study on the Syntheses of Ferrofluids by Different Iron Compounds and their Specific Adsorption Rate of Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia

Abstract

The highest SAR (specific adsorption rate) value of ferrofluid was found to be 28.5±1.9W/g, when prepared by using ferrous chloride tetrahydrate (FeCl2•4H2O) and iron(III)nitrate 9-hydrate(Fe(NO3)3• 9H2O) with the 1:1 ratio of iron compound’s molarity. The SAR values of ferrofluids were found to be 62.0±6.5, 59.4±10.3, and 66.0±5.0 W/g, respectively, when prepared by using ferrous sulfate 7-hydrate (FeSO4•7H2O) and ferric chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3•6H2O) with the 1：2.5, 2.5：1, and 3：1 ratio of iron compound’s molarity . The SAR values of ferrofluids were found to be 66.6±7.0 and 63.5±6.0 W/g respectively, when prepared by using ferrous sulfate 7-hydrate (FeSO4•7H2O) and iron(III)nitrate 9-hydrate (Fe(NO3)3•9H2O), with the 1：1, 1：1.5 and 1：2 ratio of iron compound’s molarity. The SAR values of ferrofluids were found to be 84.7±12.7, 93.4±14.2 and 89.2±6.4 W/g, respectively, when prepared by using ferrous chloride tetrahydrate (FeCl2•4H2O) and ferric chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3•6H2O), with the 1：1, 1：1.5 and 1：2 ratio of iron compound’s molarity .
