Oxygen-transfer enhancement has been observed in the presence of colloidal dispersions of magnetite (Fe3O4)
nanoparticles coated with oleic acid and a polymerizable surfactant. These fluids improve gas-liquid oxygen
mass transfer up to 6-fold (600%) at nanoparticle volume fractions below 1% in an agitated, sparged reactor
and show remarkable stability in high-ionic strength media over a wide pH range. Through a combination of
experiments using physical and chemical methods to characterize mass transfer, it is shown that (i) both the
mass transfer coefficient (kL) and the gas-liquid interfacial area (a) are enhanced in the presence of
nanoparticles, the latter accounting for a large fraction of the total enhancement (80% or more), (ii) the
enhancement in kL measured by physical and chemical methods is similar and ranges from 20 to 60%
approximay, (iii) the enhancement in kL levels off at a nanoparticle volume fraction of approximay 1%
v/v, and (iv) the enhancement in kLa shows a strong temperature dependence. These results are relevant to a
wide range of processes limited by the mass transfer of a solute between a gas phase and a liquid phase, such
as fermentation, waste treatment, and hydrogenation reactions.
