Synthesis and characterization of a novel TEMPO@FeNi3/DFNS–laccase magnetic nanocomposite for the reduction of nitro compounds

Abstract

Water is an essential substance for life on earth and for all living things. Plants and animals need almost pure water to live; if it is contaminated with harmful chemicals and micro organisms, it will be impossible for them to survive. This study has tried to investigate the performance of catalyst to reduce nitro-aromatic combinations in the attendance of NaBH₄ solution duo to the hydrogen source. TEMPO@FeNi₃/DFNS–laccase MNPs was prepared, and its features were reviewed using SEM, TEM, XRD, TGA, VSM, AFM, and FTIR. Then, its strength as a nanocatalyst for removal of nitro-aromatic combinations was tested in contact time, initial concentration, the effects of pH and nanocatalyst amount was study. The results of this research proved that TEMPO@FeNi₃/DFNS–laccase MNPs has a good return in removal of nitro-aromatic combinations, as its easy synthesis and reliable recovery.
