Nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) was first assembled on magnetic carbon/FeO (CM) with a combination of hydrothermal and liquid phase reduction methods. The novel NZVI@CM magnetic nanocomposites have the merits of large surface area, unique magnetic property, low cost and environmental friendliness. They can be used for Pb(II) removal in aqueous solution. The materials were characterized by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) adsorption. The various parameters, such as reaction time, dosage of catalyst, solution pH and acid ions concentrations were studied. The removal efficiency of Pb(II) can be obviously increased by the combination of appropriate CM and NZVI. The removal efficiency of Pb(II) is 99.7% by using 60 mg of NZVI@CM at pH 7. The kinetics study indicates that the Pb(II) removal accords to pseudo-second-order kinetics model.

Heavy metal ions are acknowledged to impact the environment and human health adversely. CNCs are effective materials for removing heavy metal ions in industrial applications and process innovations since they can be used in static and dynamic adsorption processes. Cost-effective, uncomplicated water treatment technologies must be developed using biodegradable polymers, namely, modified cellulose nanocrystals.

Sulfur nanoparticles (SNPs) and their composites are promising for heavy metal adsorption, yet current SNPs often lack surface S, leading to low affinity toward heavy metal and ease of aggregation. Here, we report a simple light-driven method for facile prepare SNPs with surfaces enriched with S and in-situ load them onto graphene oxide (GO) to fabricate GO-S composites. Under illumination, the O generated by photosensitizer phloxine B was able to oxidize S into elemental SNPs.

The rapid industrialization and human activities in catchments have posed notable global challenges in removing of heavy metal contaminants from wastewater. Here, Schiff-bases (SB) of cyanoguanidine (CG) and salicylaldehyde (SA) were covalently grafted on a magnetic nanocomposite of chitosan to form a hybrid magnetic nanostructure (FeO@CS-CGSB). The synthesized structure was characterized using various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis (BET).

A carbon-magnetic modified sepiolite nanocomposite (γ-FeO/SiO-Mg(OH)@BC) was synthesized using a hydrothermal method, consisting of γ-FeO, activated sludge biochar (BC), and alkali-modified sepiolite. Its ability to remove heavy metals such as Sb(V), Pb(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II) was investigated through adsorption experiments. Using response surface optimization, the optimal adsorption conditions were determined: adsorption time = 3.

Improving the adsorption capacity of materials for pollutants by means of modification is an important direction in the research of water treatment technology. To improve the applicability of sodium alginate composites in the field of adsorption, magnetic sodium alginate-based hydrogel microsphere adsorbent material FeO@SA/PEI-Fe (FSPF) was synthesized in a single step by using polyethyleneimine grafting modification of sodium alginate by sol-gel method. The material was used for the removal of direct blue GL (DB 200) and direct date red B (DR 13) from simulated wastewater, as well as Cu(II) and Pb(II) from simulated wastewater with heavy metal ions.
