Magnetic nanoparticles for efficient heavy metal removal: synthesis, adsorption capacity, and key experimental parameters

Abstract
Abstract: Heavy metals are toxic, non-biodegradable\r\npollutants that pose serious risks to human health and\r\nthe environment, even at trace concentrations. The\r\ncontamination of drinking water and groundwater by\r\nheavy metals requires urgent attention. Nanotechnology\r\nhas advanced significantly over the past decade, offering\r\ninnovative solutions for water purification, particularly\r\nthrough the adsorption of heavy metal ions using nanomaterials.\r\nThis study focuses on the synthesis of magnetic\r\nnanoparticles, their adsorption capacity, and the desorption\r\nprocess. Additionally, the effects of key experimental\r\nparameters – such as contact time, ion concentration, pH,\r\ntemperature, ionic strength, and adsorbent dose – on the\r\nremoval efficiency of metal ions are examined. The findings\r\nunderscore the potential of magnetic nanoparticles for\r\neffective heavy metal remediation in water.
