“…However, the excellent properties of these materials when compared with their bulk counterparts provide a very promising future for their use in this field [1,2]. Among many nanomaterials investigated, systems made from magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONPs), proved to be useful in variety applications such as ferrofluids [3], magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [4], biological cell labeling [5], sorting and separation of biochemicals [6], drug delivery [7], and the treatment of waste waters [8,9]. Moreover, these NPs are known to be capable of sorption of some ligands, dyes, metal ions, anions, cations and use of them is thus becoming very attractive in a new area of adsorption, recovery or removal of some ions [10][11][12][13].…”
