CuFe₂O₄@ hydroxyapatite composite for the environmental remediation of some heavy metal ions: Synthesis and characterization

Tailoring highly efficient adsorbents for environmental remediation is a great challenge key. This paper reports the synthesis of nanostructured pure hydroxylapatite and hydroxyapatite coupled with copper ferrite CuFe2O4@HAp by simple routes utilizing in capture some heavy metal ions like Fe(II) Al(III) ions. The prepared has advantage feasible removal adsorbent materials after treatment process just exposing them to an external magnetic field. obtained been characterized several techniques; XRD patterns showed high purity materials. Moreover, morphological study TEM revealed size nanoparticles needlelike shape that had length 21.9 44.04 nm cross-sectional dimension 7.15 7.83 nm. Factors contact time, pH, initial concentration have investigated. Furthermore, different isothermic kinetic models also simulated adsorption performance CuFe2O4@HAp. results this could be promising, safe, sustainable inexpensive material wastewater processes.
