Manganese ferrite nanoparticle production from industrial wastes as sorbent material for arsenic removal from aqueous solutions

Abstract

Manganese ferrite nanoparticles were prepared by microwave-sonication assisted hydrothermal route and produced from wastes of Li-ion batteries and pyrite ash. The leaching solution of waste pyrite ash was used for Fe source while, Mn-bearing solution recovered from the recycling process of end life Li-ion batteries was used as Mn source. X-ray diffractometry evidenced that manganese ferrite can be obtained as single crystalline phase.Scanning Electron Microscope images showed that double-pyramid or octahedron particles were formed with the average size of 24.3 nm. This produced MnFe2O4 nanoparticles denoted good sorption capacity towards to As (101±0.5 mg/g at pH 3).

“…[ 18 ] Manganese ferrite (MnFe 2 O 4 ) nanoparticles have a good biocompatibility with properties such as higher transition temperature, variable magnetic properties, and stability at room conditions. [ 21 ] There are many studies presented in the literature in which MnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles were used as a sorbent material for the separation of different inorganic analytes such as cadmium (Cd), [ 22 ] chromium (Cr), [ 23 ] arsenic (As), [ 24 ] thorium (Th), and uranium (U) [ 25 ] with these prominent advantages.…”

Synthesis of ZnxNi1-xFe2O4, MnxNi1-xFe2O4, MgxNi1-xFe2O4, CuxNi1-xFe2O4 and CaxNi1-xFe2O4 via co-precipitation method and their application for treatment of textile wastewater

“…The doped nanoparticles of Nickel ferrite are chemically manufactured via the co-precipitation process. The co-precipitation process being an easy process for synthesizing spinel nanoparticles, is also preferable for purifying contaminated solutions containing metals (Yenial, et al, 2019). The doped Nickel ferrite nanoparticles are synthesized by the co-precipitation method.…”
