Rapid and high capacity adsorption of heavy metals by Fe3O4/montmorillonite nanocomposite using response surface methodology: preparation, characterization, optimization, equilibrium isotherms, and adsorption kinetics study
Fe3O4/montmorillonite nanocomposite (Fe3O4/MMT NC) was synthesized for removal of Pb2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+ ions from aqueous systems. The nanoadsorbent was characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy and mean diameter of magnetic nanoparticles was about 8.24 nm. The experiment...
