Performance of keratin nanoparticle and its magnetic nanocomposite for Zn(II) removal from its aqueous solution

The comparative sorption studies were carried out to investigate the performance of keratin nanoparticles (KNPs) and magnetic KNPs (MKNPs) for Zn(II) uptake. MKNPs showed remarkably higher Zn(II) removal due to the lower keratin weight percent in its structure (8.4%). MKNPs revealed relatively unifo...
