A magnetic adsorbent namely magnetic iron oxide encrusted hydrocalumite-chitosan (FeO@HCCS) composite was prepared by the fabrication of magnetic iron oxide (FeO) particles on hydrocalumite-chitosan (HCCS) composite for fluoride sorption studies in batch mode. The prepared magnetic FeO@HCCS composite possesses an enhanced defluoridation capacity (DC) of 6.8mg/g compared to hydrocalumite (HC) which possesses the DC of 2.4mg/g. The various physico-chemical parameters such as contact time, pH, co-existing anions, initial fluoride concentration and temperature were optimized for the maximum fluoride removal. The structural changes of the sorbent, before and after fluoride sorption were studied using FTIR and SEM with EDAX techniques. The equilibrium data was well modeled by Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. The thermodynamic parameters revealed the feasibility, spontaneity and endothermic nature of fluoride sorption. The field performance and efficiency of FeO@HCCS composite was examined with the waste-water sample collected from a fluoride endemic area of Dindigul district, Tamilnadu, India using standard protocols.

Traditional tactile sensors are single-function, and it is difficult to meet the needs of applications in complex environments. This paper describes the development and applications of flexible tactile sensors with cilia based on magnetoelectric composites made of neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) microparticles with a silver (Ag) nanoshell in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). These sensors adopt the inherent magnetism of NdFeB microparticles and the excellent conductivity of the Ag coating.

The removal of heavy metal ions, such as lead (Pb2+), from aqueous systems is critical due to their high toxicity and bioaccumulation in living organisms. This study presents a straightforward approach for the synthesis and surface modification of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) for the magnetic removal of Pb2+ ions. IONPs were produced via electrosynthesis at varying voltages (10-40 V), with optimal magnetic properties achieved at 40 V resulting in highly crystalline and magnetic IONPs in the gamma-maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) phase.
