“…4 A few examples of such NPs are ZnFe 2 O 4 , MnFe 2 O 4 , 5 ZnO, Fe 3 O 4 , Fe 2 O 4 , CuO, ZnO, Ag, Cu, and Au. 6,7 These NPs possess surface plasmon resonance properties and are flexible in surface functionalization. Furthermore, their biocompatible nature leads to their broader use as anticancer, antibacterial, 8 antiviral, antifungal, anti-insecticidal, antiprotozoans, or antileishmanial activities.…”

Recently, the use of hybrid nanomaterials (NMs)/nanocomposites has widely increased for the health, energy, and environment sectors due to their improved physicochemical properties and reduced aggregation behavior. However, prior to their use in such sectors, it is mandatory to study their toxicological behavior in detail. In the present study, a ZnFe 2 O 4 @poly(tBGE-alt-PA) nanocomposite is tested to study its toxicological effects on a fruit fly model. This nanocomposite was synthesized earlier by our group and physicochemically characterized using different techniques. In this study, various neurological, developmental, genotoxic, and morphological tests were carried out to investigate the toxic effects of nanocomposite on Drosophila melanogaster. As a result, an abnormal crawling speed of third instar larvae and a change in the climbing behavior of treated flies were observed, suggesting a neurological disorder in the fruit flies. DAPI and DCFH-DA dyes analyzed the abnormalities in the larva's gut of fruit flies. Furthermore, the deformities were also seen in the wings and eyes of the treated flies. These obtained results suggested that the ZnFe 2 O 4 @poly(tBGE-alt-PA) nanocomposite is toxic to fruit flies. Moreover, this is essential to analyze the toxicity of this hybrid NM again in a rodent model in the future.

“…Among all metal ferrites, zinc ferrite should be noted especially for its extremely high chemical stability, magnetic properties, non-toxicity for living organisms and environmental safety [24,29,30]. Materials based on zinc ferrite possess photocatalytic activity and activity in Fenton reactions that allows using them as photoadsorbents and photocatalysts for the treatment of various media and degradation of organic pollutants [12,[30][31][32].In addition, recent studies indicated a noticeable adsorption capacity of nanomaterials based on ZnFe 2 O 4 , with respect to selenium ions (43.67 mg/g at pH 2.5) [28] and heavy metal ions (49.42, 54.69 and 12.34 mg/g for Ni 2+ , Cd 2+ and Cr 3+ [23,33]) from the aquatic environment, which is important for solving the problem of wastewater treatment and converting industrial waste into valuable materials for recycling.…”

In order to enhance the efficiency of heavy metal ion extraction from aqueous medium, new nanocomposite magnetic sorbents were synthesized on the base of natural zeolite (Zt) and nanoparticles of ZnFe2O4 (F). The composition, structure and physical–chemical properties of new composites with 2% (Zt-2F), 8% (Zt-8F) and 16% (Zt-16F) of zinc ferrite were characterized by XRD, BET adsorption–desorption of nitrogen, SEM with elemental mapping, TEM and magnetometry. The sorption capacity of materials was assessed towards Cu2+ ions in aqueous solutions, for which kinetic and equilibrium features of sorption were established. The maximal sorption capacity (amax, mg/g) of the studied materials increased in the order: Zt (19.4) < Zt-2F (27.3) < Zt-8F (30.2) < Zt-16F (32.8) < ZnFe2O4 (161.3). The kinetics of the sorption process followed a pseudo-second order kinetic model. The sorption equilibrium at zinc ferrite was successfully described by the Langmuir model, while the Freundlich model better fitted the sorption equilibrium on zeolite and composites. The efficiency of Cu2+ ion extraction from 320 mg/dm3 aqueous solution was 63% for composite Zt-16F and 100% for a sample of ZnFe2O4. It was established that the proposed composite sorbents provide the operation of several cycles without regeneration, they can be easily recycled with 0.1 N HCl solution and are capable of magnetic separation. The advantages of new composites and the proposed method of synthesis allow recommending these materials as effective sorbents of heavy metals from wastewater.
