The magnesium-zinc ferrites MgZnFeO (x = 0…1) were studied as magnetic sorbents for environmental applications. Low-temperature Mössbauer spectroscopy was used to determine the distribution of magnesium and ferric ions in the spinel crystal lattice. The influence of Zn content on magnetic parameters was investigated on the basis of VSM data. As the molar ratio of zinc to magnesium increases from 0 to 1, the pH value decreases from 10.5 to 8.9. Langmuir and Freundlich models were used to check whether single-layer or multi-layer adsorption occurs. The adsorption of Cr(VI) and Ni(II) ions is well fitted by the Langmuir equation. To check the physical or chemical nature of the sorption process, the Dubinin-Radushkevich equation was used. It was found that the processes of adsorption of Cr(VI) and Ni(II) ions are of a chemical nature. The best Cr(VI) ion adsorption capacity was found for the MgZnFeO sample (q = 30.49 mg/g). The percentage of heavy metal removal by the mixed ferrite samples increases with increasing zinc content. The most effective sorbent for Ni(II) removal is the MgZnFeO sample (93.2%). Modeling the antistructure provides deeper insight into the mechanism of heavy metal adsorption. The obtained magnesium-zinc ferrites are promising magnetic adsorbents for removing chromate and nickel ions from the environment.

The sol-gel process was used to prepare zinc doped magnesium ferrite (MgZnFeO) nanopowders obtained from the nitrates of magnesium, zinc and ferrous is precursor materials, maintain the pH value which were then studied for sensing purposes. The crystallite size and phase of the ferrite samples studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed a pure spinel phase (MgZnFeO) with a cubic spinel structure and higher crystallite size and etc. The functional groups with possible stretching analysis were taken from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

Background: Energy is the basis and assurance for a world's stable development; however, as traditional non-renewable energy sources deplete, the development and study of renewable clean energy have emerged. Using microalgae as a carbon source for anaerobic bacteria to generate biohydrogen is a clean energy generation system that both local and global peers see as promising.
Results: Klebsiella pneumonia, Enterobacter cloacae, and their coculture were used to synthesize biohydrogen using Oscillatoria acuminata biomass via dark fermentation.

For technical and radioprotection causes, it has become essential to find new trends of smart materials which used as protection from ionizing radiation. To overcome the undesirable properties in lead aprons and provide the proper or better shielding properties against ionizing radiation, the tendency is now going to use ferrite as a shielding material. The co-precipitation method was utilized to prevent any foreign phases in the investigated MZN nano-ferrite.

This paper presents the results of an investigation on the magnetic and dielectric properties of MgZnFeO spinel ferrite with a 1% weight percentage of Li and K added cations. The addition of metal ions plays an important role in increasing the porosity and favors the formation of ferrite at low temperatures. The goal of this new research is to demonstrate that by selecting the type of metallic cations for addition or choosing an optimal sintering temperature, it may be possible to improve the magnetic and electrical properties of Mg-Zn ferrite.
