In this study, the superparamagnetic adsorbent as Fe@Mg-Al LDH was synthesised by different methods with two steps for the removal of heavy metal ions from water samples. An easy, practical, economical, and replicable method was introduced to remove water contaminants, including heavy ions from aquatic environments. Moreover, the structure of superparamagnetic adsorbent was investigated by various methods including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer. For better separation, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid ligand was used, forming a complex with antimony ions to create suitable conditions for the removal of these ions. Cadmium and antimony ions were studied by floatation in aqueous environments with this superparamagnetic adsorbent owing to effective factors such as pH, amount of superparamagnetic adsorbent, contact time, sample temperature, volume, and ligand concentration. The model of Freundlich, Langmuir, and Temkin isotherms was studied to qualitatively evaluate the adsorption of antimony ions by the superparamagnetic adsorbent. The value of loaded antimony metal ions with Fe@Mg-Al LDH was resulted at 160.15 mg/g. The standard deviation value in this procedure was found at 7.92%. The desorption volume of antimony metal ions by the adsorbent was found to be 25 ml. The thermodynamic parameters as well as the effect of interfering ions were investigated by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry.

Despite significant progress in skin wound healing, it is still a challenge to construct multifunctional bioactive dressings based on a highly aligned protein fiber coated hydrogel matrix for antifibrosis skin wound regeneration that is indistinguishable to native skin. In this study, a "dual-wheel-driven" strategy is adopted to modify the surface of methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) hydrogel with highly aligned magnetic nanocomposites-protein fiber assemblies (MPF) consisting of photothermal responsive antibacteria superparamagnetic nanocomposites-fibrinogen (Fg) complexes as the building blocks. Whole-phase healing properties of the modified hydrogel dressing, GelMA-MPF (GMPF), stem from the integration of Fg protein with RGD peptide activity decorated on the surface of the antibacterial magnetic nanoactuator, facilitating facile and reproducible dressing preparation by self-assembly and involving biochemical, morphological, and biophysical cues.

A two-step method for the synthesis of C/Ni/N nanocomposites based on hydrolysis lignin from wood chemical processing waste is proposed. These nanocomposites were found to have a well-developed porous structure with a wide pore size distribution. It was shown that doping hydrolysis lignin with urea-derived nitrogen leads to the appearance of ferromagnetic behavior in the carbon material.

Enormous amounts of toxic synthetic dyes and inorganic contaminants, such as heavy metals, are regularly discharged into local water bodies unregulated and untreated through effluents from a wide range of industries. Designing industrial methodologies that limit or eliminate the unloading of harmful substances in the surrounding environment has become a requisite for sustainable growth. Although the magnetic separation-based adsorption technique seems quite promising, the functional moieties on the nanoparticle surface often restrict the choice of target pollutants, limiting their universal applicability.

This work presents a group of high-quality hydrophilic and negatively charged coated, iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) that have been prepared using a microwave-ultrasound-assisted protocol, and demonstrates the great impact that the synthetic strategy has on the resulting MNPs. The different coatings tested, including citric acid, carboxymethyl dextran and β-cyclodextrin (βCD)/citric acid have been compared and have shown good dispersibility and stability. The ability of βCD to maintain the inclusive properties of the coated MNPs has been proven as well as their cytocompatibility.

In the present study, Coconut Husk Biochar (CHB) was synthesize from widely available, locally sourced agro waste, coconut husk and characterized using different techniques like scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). CHB was tested for its ability to adsorb crystal violet (CV), a commonly used cationic dye, from water. It was capable of adsorbing more than 98 % of CV from water and follows Freundlich isotherm model with pseudo second order kinetics though the overall process was unfavourable.
