Mercury remediation from wastewater through its spontaneous adsorption on non-functionalized inverse spinel magnetic ferrite nanoparticles
Abstract
In this study, inverse spinel cubic ferrites MFe2O4 (M = Fe2+, and Co2+) have been fabricated for the high-capacity adsorptive removal of Hg(II) ions. The PXRD analysis confirmed ferrites with the presence of residual NaCl. The surface area of Fe3O4 (Fe-F) and CoFe2O4 (Co-F) material was 69.1 and 45.2 m2 g-1, respectively. The Co-F and Fe-F showed the maximum Hg(II) adsorption capacity of 459 and 436 mg g-1 at pH 6. The kinetic and isotherms …
