Highly efficient removal of Pb(II) from aqueous systems using a new nanocomposite: Adsorption, isotherm, kinetic and mechanism studies

In this research, amino-guanidinopentanoic acid (AGPA) functionalized benzene dicarboxylic coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@BDC) was synthesized (Fe3O4@[email protected]) by in situ co-precipitation process for removal of toxic Pb(II) ions from aqueous environment. The Fe3O4@[email protected] nanocomposite was characterized by various instrumental technique viz., Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, zeta potential,...
