Functionalized Nanoparticles as Sorbents for Removal of Toxic Species
نویسندگان
چکیده
Removal of various toxic species from aqueous streams is of great importance. Sorption is one of the important remediation procedures as it involves the use of cheap and easily available materials. Also the advantage of regeneration of the sorbent involves the possibility of using novel sorbents. Nanosorbents are very important as the removal is based on the surface phenomena and this is greatly affected by surface charge and area. Functionalization has been very important to bring about the removal of metal ions with greater selectivity. Keywords—Mercury, lead, thiol functionalization, ZnO NPs.

Phenylalanine Removal from Water by Fe3O4 Nanoparticles Functionalized with Two Different Surfactants
In the present study, the application for the removal of phenylalanine by using two nano sorbents, namely, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide –Coated and BKC (benzal-conium chloride)-Coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles was investigated. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) and ultra violet–visible spectroscopy were used for studying the removal ability of each nano-sorbent in this study. Scanning Electron Microscop...
متن کاملRemoval of Cr(VI) Species from Aqueous Solution by Different Nanoporous Materials
Background: The removal of toxic metals from sewage and wastewaters is one of the most important concerns in the twenty first century. The removal of poisonous Cr(VI) from aqueous solution by different low-cost available nanoporous adsorbents was investigated in the present study. Methods: Fumed silica, bentonite (BN), hydrotalcite (HT), MCM-41, Na-Y, mordenite (MOR) and SAPO-34 were ...
متن کاملHigh-performance, superparamagnetic, nanoparticle-based heavy metal sorbents for removal of contaminants from natural waters.
We describe the synthesis and characterization of high-performance, superparamagnetic, iron oxide nanoparticle-based, heavy metal sorbents, which demonstrate excellent affinity for the separation of heavy metals in contaminated water systems (i.e., spiked Columbia River water). The magnetic nanoparticle sorbents were prepared from an easy-to-synthesize iron oxide precursor, followed by a simple...
متن کاملAmino Functionalized Silica Coated Fe3O4 Magnetic Nanoparticles as a Novel Adsorbent for Removal of Pb2+ and Cd2+
The present study synthesizes a novel adsorbent by coating Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles with amino functionalized mesoporous silica. The FTIR spectrums indicate that silica has been successfully coated on the surface of Fe3O4 and 3-aminopropyl tri methoxysilane compound have been grafted to the surface of silica-coated Fe3O4. The XRD analysis shows the presence of magnetite phase with cubic spi...
