Single-crystal 15 nm size magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized and coated with Yerba Mate (Ilex paraguariensis) extract to evaluate their use as versatile antioxidant magnetic nanoadsorbents. The obtained particles, ...

This contribution provides insight on the elimination of heavy metals from water resources using magnetic separation. Nanocomposites based on magnetite and chitosan were prepared. An exhaustive characterization of the ...

This study examines the possibility of using bio-based product isolated from urban solid wastes as a material for environmental technological applications. To this end, Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with different amounts of ...

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have received special interest due a wide range of technological applications, including efficient and low-cost magnetic nanoadsorbents for the removal of contaminating metals in water. In the ...

Water pollution by heavy metals has significant effects on aquatic ecosystems. Copper is one of the heavy metals that can cause environmental pollution and toxic effects in natural waters. This encourages the development ...

A nanoadsorbent based on delta-MnO2 and Fe3O4 was synthesized and assessed as an adsorbent for removing some heavy metals from acidic aqueous solution. The delta-MnO2 adsorbent was prepared in aqueous alkaline medium using ...

Magnetic nanoparticles are synthesized and modified during a chemical co‐precipitation to produce three different magnetic nanoscavengers: nanomagnetite‐chitosan, nanomagnetite‐nanodiamond and nanomagnetite‐chitosan grafted ...
