Deshpande Ramdas B. Khomane Bhalchandra K. Vaidya Renuka M. Joshi Arti S. Harle Bhaskar D. Kulkarni Received 4 February 2008 Accepted 4 June 2008 to the authors 2008 Abstract Sulfur nanoparticles were synthesized from hazardous H2S gas using novel biodegradable iron chelates in w o microemulsion system. Fe3 -malic acid chelate M aqueous solution was studied in w o microemulsion containing cyclohexane Triton X-100 and n-hexanol as oil phase surfactant co-surfactant respectively for catalytic oxidation of H2S gas at ambient conditions of temperature pressure and neutral pH. The structural features of sulfur nanoparticles have been characterized by X-ray diffraction XRD transmission electron microscope TEM energy dispersive spectroscopy EDS diffused reflectance infra-red Fourier transform technique and BET surface area measurements. XRD analysis indicates the presence of a-sulfur. TEM analysis shows that the morphology of sulfur nanoparticles synthesized in w o microemulsion system is nearly uniform in size average particle size 10 nm and narrow particle size distribution in range of 5-15 nm as compared to that in aqueous surfactant systems. The EDS analysis indicated high purity of sulfur 99 . Moreover sulfur nanoparticles synthesized in w o microemulsion system exhibit higher antimicrobial activity A. S. Deshpande R. B. Khomane B. K.
