“…They can also serve as high capacity -selectivity and recyclable ligands for toxic metal ions, radionuclides, organic and inorganic solutes [29]. Therefore water treatment based on the adsorption of contaminants using nanomaterials, such as cerium oxide or iron oxide-based nanoparticles, is relatively useful and cost effective method for water contaminants [30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43] and also for phosphate removal [30,31,33,34,35,36,38,39,40,41,43]. Adsorption is generally used to remove organic [44] and inorganic contaminants such as heavy metals [45] from water and wastewater treatment.…”
