 A set of material substances which have at least one dimension

less than 100 nm

 Its surface layer will be functionalised with a variety of small

molecules, metal ions, surfactant and polymers for specific
applications

 IN SITU MAGNETIC SEPARATION AND
IMMOBILIZATION OF DIBENZOTHIOPHENE-
DESULFURIZING BACTERIA

Aims for high-level desulfurization

Conventional hydrodesulfurization (HDS) unit operate at severe
conditions- high temperature, high pressure, long residence time
There goes Biodesulfurization(BHS)
it is to use cell to desulfurize
Then, cells are immobilization and removed with magnet
Nanoparticle
• Oleate-modified Fe3O4

Function
• Separate Rhodococcus erythropolis from its
original culture fermentation broth
Method
• Magnetic separation
 Adsorption mechanism is due nano-sized effect and
hydrophobic interaction between bacterial cell wall and
nanoparticles
