Ferrites nanostructures have been prepared with flower-like shape, as novel cost effective dye removal agent to be used in water purification. CoFe 2 O 4 , and MnFe 2 O 4 has been prepared via ethylene glycol (EG) mediated self-assembly method. The morphological properties of the assynthesized nano-flower were investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SEAD). Factors influenced shape of nano-flower, such as time, temperature, pH, and urea concentration has been studied. For water purification applications, it is clear that the as-prepared ferrites nano-flowers represent an excellent efficiency to remove polar red 390 dyes from water with efficiency with 46, and 96% for both of CoFe 2 O 4, and MnFe 2 O 4 , respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
