Background: Mitoxantrone (MXT) is a drug for cancer therapy and a hazardous pharmaceutical to the environment which must be removed from contaminated waste streams. In this work, the removal of MXT by the electro-Fenton process over heterogeneous and homogenous catalysts is reported. Methods: The effects of the operational conditions (reaction medium pH, catalyst concentration and utilized cur...

A high sensitive electrochemical nanostructure sensor based on graphene oxide/Fe3O4@SiO2 nanocomposite modified graphite screen printed electrode (GO/Fe3O4@SiO2/SPE) has been developed for trace analysis of acetaminophen. The electrochemical study of the modified electrode, as well as its efficiency for simultaneous voltammetric oxidation of acetaminophen and tryptophan is described. Compared w...

A nanocomposite capable of simultaneously controlling multiple water pollutants (soluble organic dye and insoluble chemical solvent) has been obtained. The Au and Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were modified on a graphene oxide (GO) surface via light reduction and covalent attachment. The obtained Fe3O4-Au-GO nanocomposite has magnetic driving ability and catalytic applications. The nanocomposite ca...

The Noble-Prize-winning discovery of graphene has created an entirely new branch of materials science and technology. Being a single-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms packed in two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb lattices, graphene possesses a large surface area and high electrical/thermal conductivity as well as excellent mechanical properties. These interesting properties make graphene attractive f...

The laccase enzyme was successfully immobilized over a magnetic amino-functionalized metal–organic framework Fe3O4-NH2@MIL-101(Cr). Different techniques were used for the characterization of synthesized materials. Fe3O4-NH2@MIL-101(Cr) showed excellent resistance to high temperatures and low pH levels with immobilization capacity large activity recovery, due combination covalent binding adsorpt...
