“…By using a strong magnet, the used adsorbent can be easily separated. The investigated magnetic nanoparticles may include laccase immobilized epoxy-functionalized magnetic chitosan beads [Bayramoglu et al, 2010], magnetic chitosan microparticles functionalised with polyamidoamine dendrimers [Wang et al, 2015], magnetic N-lauryl chitosan particles [Debrassi et al, 2012], glutaraldehyde (GLA) cross-linked magnetic chitosan nanoparticles [Elwakeel et al, 2009], chitosan-based magnetic microspheres [Xu et al, 2018], glutaraldehyde cross-linked magnetic chitosan nanocomposites [Kadam and Lee, 2015], modified magnetic chitosan microspheres [Jafari et al, 2016], quaternized magnetic resin microspheres [Li et al, 2014], magnetic carbon nanotube--carrageenan-Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposite [Duman et al, 2016], quaternized magnetic microspheres [Shuang et al, 2012], O-carboxymethyl chitosan-N-lauryl/ -Fe 2 O 3 magnetic nanoparticles [Demarchi et al, 2015], L-arginine-functionalized Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles [Dalvand et al, 2016], and magnetic Fe 3 O 4 /chitosan nanoparticles [Cao et al, 2015]. The nanoparticles are mostly made magnetic by forming either Fe 2 O 3 or Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles in-situ within the organic or inorganic nanoparticles.…”
