Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on developing magnetite nanoparticles (NPs), zeolite A, and a magnetite-zeolite A composite (MAGZA) using eco-friendly methods for wastewater treatment.
- Characterization showed successful synthesis, and the MAGZA composite outperformed individual components in removing biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total organic carbon (TOC) from wastewater, especially under optimal conditions of 4 mL/min flow rate, 5 cm bed height, and 10 mg/L concentration.
- Even after five reuse cycles, the MAGZA composite maintained effective removal rates of BOD (76.5%), COD (55.5%), and TOC (64.2%), confirming its efficiency in continuous operation.
