Removal of Cd (II) in Water Samples Using Modified Magnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticle

Background: Heavy metals, even at low concentrations, are harmful to human health and environment. Cadmium as a heavy metal is highly toxic and can cause serious threat to living organisms. This research was designed to evaluate the adsorption potential of modified magnetic iron nanoparticles by 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol ligand for the removal of cadmium ions from water solu...

A practical silver nanoparticle-based adsorbent for the removal of Hg2+ from water.

In this work, we describe the use of silver nanoparticles of 9 ± 2 and 20 ± 5 nm core diameter, protected by mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) and supported on activated alumina for the removal of mercuric ions present in contaminated waters, at room temperature (28 ± 1 °C). These two nanoparticle samples were prepared by using two Ag:MSA ratios 1:6 and 1:3, respectively, during synthesis and were lo...
