“…The resulting solid was then washed with deionized water to remove K + and Clin excess (Ying et al, 2020). Two-line ferrihydrite (2L-Fh) was synthesized by adding under stirring a 2 M NaOH solution to a 500 mL solution containing 40 g Fe(NO3)3•9H2O, until the pH reached 7-8 (Zhang et al, 2022). After 2 h of equilibration time, the suspension was washed with deionized water and centrifuged (5×) to remove Na + and NO3in excess.…”
