Arsenic (As) removal from portable water bodies using the nanotechnology-based adsorption technique offers a unique method to lower As contamination below World Health Organization’s (WHO) maximum contaminant level (MCL). This work promotes systematic methodological-based study by optimizing different parameters that affect TiO2/γ-Fe2O3 nanocomposites (T/M NCs) prepared with green, facile, and ...

Due to the increasing demand of Rare Earth Elements (REE or RE), new and more efficient techniques for their extraction are necessary, suitable for both mining and recycling processes. Current techniques such as solvent extraction or solid adsorbents entail drawbacks such as using big volumes of harmful solvents or limited capacity. Hybrid nanoadsorbents based on SiO2 and highly stable γ-Fe2O3-...

In this work, aspartic acid- and glycine-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Asp-MSNs Gly-MSNs) were successfully prepared applied as adsorbents for removal of methylene blue (MB) from contaminated water. The structure the fabricated nanomaterials was confirmed by nitrogen adsorption/desorption with specific surface area ca. 700 m2/g pore volume 0.9 cm3/g both Asp-MSNs Gly-MSNs. ave...

(3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) modified magnetic graphene oxide was synthesized and applied in the adsorption of three heavy metals, Pb(II), Cd(II) Ni(II) from aqueous solution. An approach to prepare GO adopted by using (3-aminopropyl) as a functionalizing agent on nanosilica coupled with form Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2/GO nanocomposite. FT-IR, XRD, BET, UV, VSM, SAXS, SEM TEM were used character...
