Sodium alginate base nanocomposite for waste water treatment

Alginate, cobalt ferrite nanomaterials (CF), titanated nanotubes (T), cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CF) (G), and their nanocomposite microparticles (CF/G and T/G) Cu2+, Fe3+, As3+ ions are efficiently removed from water using this method. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the nanocomposites X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Furthermore, the effects of pH, contact duration, and adsorbent weight were investigated. Removal efficiency and the effects of heavy metal ions concentration were studied. The nanocomposite particles were successfully created, according to our findings. PH of 6.5 and interaction period of 2hour, with adsorbent weight of 0.15g were determined to be the best batch experiment conditions. Cu2+ removal efficiency utilizing G, CF, T, and CF/G T/G was discovered 91%, 100%, 99.9%, 9 %, and 98%, respectively. Fe3+ elimination was 60%, 100%, 100%, 60%, and 82% of the time, respectively. It was also possible to remove As3+ ions efficiently (98% upon using T nanoadsorbents). The recent investigation found that the nanoparticles created were effective (cobalt ferrite and T) and the alginate-based nanocomposite microparticles that go with them might be further customized and have been employed as excellent adsorbents for removal of various heavy- metal ions from wastewater.
