Description
Summary:<p dir="ltr">In this article, a single-step procedure to conjugate iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to Boltorn polymer is developed resulting in a tailored and engineered nanocomposite used for the first time for heavy metal trace removal targeting the lead and copper ions. Boltorn H40 was successfully loaded on the surface of Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> during magnetic modification, resulting in magnetic Boltorn that can be easily removed from water after the adsorption process. Bol@MNPs could remove Pb<sup>2+</sup> and Cu<sup>2+</sup> from water in different mechanistic forms. Factors that directly affect the adsorption performance including adsorbent dosage, contact time, pH, and initial concentration were studied. The adsorptive behavior of the new nanocomposite Bol@MNPs for lead and copper aligns with the Langmuir and pseudo-second order kinetic models. The average removal rates for Pb<sup>2+</sup> and Cu<sup>2+</sup> were 96 % and 80 %, with maximum capacities of 1.546, and 2.043 mg/g respectively, and the mechanism of adsorption includes complexation, electrostatic interactions, and chelation explained by the abundance of hydroxyl groups in the nanocomposite. The adsorption effect of ions in the binary system revealed a synergetic behavior for lead ions. Overall, the synthesized nanocomposite shows excellent stability for sustainable reuse. These results support a promising advancement in developing sustainable materials with enhanced Cu and Pb trace metal ion removal efficiency.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Journal of Water Process Engineering<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jwpe.2024.105280" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jwpe.2024.105280</a></p>
