Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> Nanoparticles Loaded Bentonite/Sawdust Interface for the Removal of Methylene Blue: Insights into Adsorption Performance and Mechanism via Experiments and Theoretical Calculations

Herein, magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) synthesized from altered basalt were used to develop a composite with H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>–activated bentonite (BE) and fibrous sawdust (SD). The as-prepared BE/SD–MNPs were characterized by FTIR, FESEM, TEM, TGA, DSC, and Zeta pot...
