“…Indeed, the prolonged contact of water with the surroundings causes the dissolution or the float of compounds derived from the earth background or anthropogenic activities. 1 − 4 In particular, harmful and toxic metal ions present in water have become a global critical issue, and the severe environmental pollution represents a danger to human health and aquatic life. 5 Moreover, the non-biodegradability of these pollutants ensures the tendency to accumulate in living organisms.…”

The uptake ability toward arsenic(V), chromium(VI), and boron(III) ions of ad hoc functionalized magnetic nanostructured devices has been investigated. To this purpose, ligands based on meglumine have been synthesized and used to coat magnetite nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 ) obtained by the co-precipitation methodology. The as-prepared hybrid material was characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy combined with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. Moreover, its magnetic hysteresis properties were measured to evaluate its magnetic properties, and the adsorption kinetics and isothermal models were applied to discern between the different adsorption phenomena. Specifically, the better fitting was observed by the Langmuir isotherm model for all metal ions tested, highlighting a higher uptake in arsenic (28.2 mg/g), chromium (12.3 mg/g), and boron (23.7 mg/g) sorption values if compared with other magnetic nanostructured materials. After adsorption, an external magnetic stimulus can be used to efficiently remove nanomaterials from the water. Finally the nanomaterial can be reused up to five cycles and regenerated for another three cycles.

“…The allowable contaminant level of antimony in drinking water, set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is 6 μg/liter (Xi et al, 2013). Exposure to a higher concentration than 6μg/liter negatively impacts the respiratory system, the skin, and the gastrointestinal system (Simeonidis et al, 2019). Many regions and countries have taken strict measures to control the concentration of antimony in aqueous solution.…”

“…Many methods have been employed to remove antimony from contaminated water, for example, adsorption, coagulation, and electrocoagulation (Simeonidis et al, 2019). However, such heavy-metal treatment methods are limited in their application as they are expensive and result in large quantities of sludge that must be disposed of.…”

“…[252][253][254] Currently, there are no established global rules regarding the applications of food nanotechnology, however, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) launched a sponsorship program for testing of nanomaterials in 2007, and the FDA issued four guidance documents on the use of nanotechnology in animal products, cosmetics, food, and other products in 2014-2015. 253 In the field of food nanotechnology, the approach of nanoparticles is considered to have the potential to be applied in various technologies, such as pesticides, 255 antimicrobial, 256 anti-solidification, 257 plant genetic engineering, 258 detection of foodborne pathogens, 259 food processing, 260 development of functional foods, 261 purification of drinking water, 262 extension of food preservation, 263 and texture improvement [252][253][254]264,265 (Figure 6).

Surfactants, whose existence has been recognized as early as 2800 BC, have had a long history with the development of human civilization. With the rapid development of nanotechnology in the latter half of the 20th century, breakthroughs in nanomedicine and food nanotechnology using nanoparticles have been remarkable, and new applications have been developed. The technology of surfactant-coated nanoparticles, which provides new functions to nanoparticles for use in the fields of nanomedicine and food nanotechnology, is attracting a lot of attention in the fields of basic research and industry. This review systematically describes these "surfactant-coated nanoparticles" through various sections in order: 1) surfactants, 2) surfactant-coated nanoparticles, application of surfactant-coated nanoparticles to 3) nanomedicine, and 4) food nanotechnology. Furthermore, current progress and problems of the technology using surfactant-coated nanoparticles through recent research reports have been discussed.
