Novel magnetic core–shell Ce–Ti@Fe3O4 nanoparticles as an adsorbent for water contaminants removal†
Abstract
Magnetic core–shell Ce–Ti@Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by coating cerium titanate on magnetite under mild experimental conditions. Combining magnetism, crystallinity, stability and adsorption capacity, it can be a promising nanomaterial as an adsorbent for anionic water contaminants, exhibiting high removal capacity, from 85% to 100%, for nitrates, phosphates and fluoride.
