Synthesis, Characterization and Filtration Properties of Ecofriendly Fe3O4 Nanoparticles Derived from Olive Leaves Extract

Abstract

Recently, value-added nanomaterials including nanoparticles or nanofluids have been significantly used in designing drilling fluids with tunable rheological properties to meet specific downhole and environmental requirements. In this work, we report novel water-based drilling fluids (WBDF) containing eco-friendly Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NPs) prepared by using olive leaves extract (OLE) as a reducing and capping agent. A series of economical and excellent performance of WBDF was obtained by introducing low, medium, and high concentrations of Fe3O4-NPs into the conventional WBDF. The synthesis of Fe3O4-NPs was accomplished through the thermal decomposition of iron precursors in an organic medium. NPs were added to the based fluid at concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, and 0.5 wt%. Emission scanning microscopy (FESEM), field- and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) were used for Fe3O4-NPs analysis. Compared to the conventional WBDF, the addition of Fe3O4-NPs as an additive in the based fluids has been investigated to help increasing viscosity and yield point, which is advantageous for hole cleaning, as well as decreasing fluid loss and mud cake thickness.

“…For example, green synthesis eliminates the use of expensive chemicals and toxic reagents, consumes less energy, and generates environmentally benign products 25 . In previous works, we already used this method to study low‐temperature green route synthesis of Fe 3 O 4 ‐C nanocomposite and synthesis, characterization, and filtration properties of ecofriendly Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles derived from olive leaves extract 22,23 …”

“…Some methods for the preparation of copper oxide nanostructures have been reported recently such as the sonochemical method, 12 sol–gel technique, 13 one step solid state reaction method at room temperature, 18 electrochemical method, 19 thermal decomposition of precursors, 17 and chemical vapor deposition 20 . Green chemistry is becoming one of the most important fabrication method because it is not complicated, not costly, friendly to the environment and not toxic to the human or nature 21–25 . For example, green synthesis eliminates the use of expensive chemicals and toxic reagents, consumes less energy, and generates environmentally benign products 25 .…”

The green synthesis method is selected because of its ecologic interest by preventing the environmental pollution and reducing wastes significantly.…”

Photoelectrochemical, optical and magnetic properties of magnetite nanoparticles

“…As applications examples of iron oxide nanoparticles (iron oxide nanoparticles) in technical and engineering fields, their function can quoted as pigments in catalysis or for magnetic storage media to gas sensors, optical devices, electromagnetic devices, filtration, medical and neuro biological fields [5,[17][18][19][20][21]. They are useful in all these applications because of their unique properties, such as small particle size, surface chemistry and superparamagnetic behavior.…”
