The objective of the current study was focused on the potential adsorption capability of a biogenic hydroxyapatite/iron nanoparticles-based composite tailored for the elimination of toxic pollutant, Cd(II) ions. Morphological along with physicochemical properties of composites were analyzed by different techniques including Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). It has been noticed an increase in cell parameters of prepared composites with an increase in the amount of nanoparticles. The best adsorbent was found to be the one with a 5% amount of nanoparticles (PF(5%)). The kinetics studies have shown that the pseudo-first-order-models were in good agreement for the removal of Cd(II) ions onto PFe(5%) at any concentration, suggesting a physisorption mechanism. Besides, isotherms analysis has consistently revealed Freundlich as the model better explained the isotherm data, with a maximum removal capacity of 392.3 mg g, higher compared to many adsorbents. Thermodynamically, the removal adsorption process of Cd(II) ions onto the composite favorable, exothermic, and spontaneous. The regeneration study has been also investigated with reusability used until four cycles. The overall results pointed out the suitability and efficiency of the prepared biogenic composite for the elimination of metal pollutants in wastewater.

In this study, the FeO@SiO-L-cysteine-cellulose system was synthesized and characterized through XRD, FT-IR, EDS, and TGA-DTA analyses. This system's adsorption performance was evaluated for removing heavy metals such as Cr, Cd, Ni, and Pb from synthetic wastewater. The magnetic core demonstrated a beneficial effect on enhancing the metal adsorption capacity of the polymer, while the magnetic properties facilitated the recyclability of the adsorbent.

Even in small concentrations, toxic metals like lead, cadmium, and mercury are dangerous to the environment and human health. Environmental monitoring depends on precisely identifying these heavy metals, particularly cadmium ions (Cd(II)). In this study, we present a novel screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) modified with single crystalline α-FeO nano-hexagons that functions as a sensor for detecting Cd(II).

To enhance the adsorption capacity of biochar (BC), herein a novel multifunction modified biochar (SDMBC) was prepared by directly crosslinking of the nanomicelle of sodium dodecyl sulfate/sapindus-saponin (SDS/SAP) composite system onto the BC through a simple, environmental friendly approach. Result showed that the adsorption performance of SDMBC has been greatly improved, compared with BC or using alone SDS and SAP, adsorption ability increased by 48.83%, 29.

Developing and producing a versatile adsorbent for effective wastewater treatment remains a significant obstacle to wastewater processing. As the objective is to eliminate various metal ions (lead, cadmium, and aluminum) from wastewater, we therefore strategically designed and synthesized new iron oxide nanoparticles (FeO NPs) based on the green algae called triiron tetraoxide@algae nanoparticles (FeO@Algae NPs) that grow in the same contaminated water using a facile one-pot green synthetic method. Investigations were conducted into the adsorption circumstances, including pH, starting concentration, adsorbent dosage, and adsorption time.
