  • Removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous systems using thiol-functionalized cobalt-ferrite magnetic nanoparticles
    Viltužnik, Branka ...
    We have investigated the removal of Pb2+ ions from water using thiol-functionalized, cobalt-ferrite, magnetic nanoparticles. These magnetic nanoparticles were prepared using the co-precipitation ... method and their surfaces were modified with tetraethoxy silane and 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane in order to provide a sufficient surface concentration of the thiol (-SH) functional groups. The adsorption of the Pb2+ ions from the aqueous solutions onto the thiol-functionalized, cobalt-ferrite, magnetic nanoparticles was studied. The investigated parameters include the pH value of the model water, the concentration of the adsorbent, the contact time and the temperature of adsorption. The removal of the Pb2+ was found to be greaterat the higher pH values and increasing the temperature was also found to increase the removal of Pb2+ ions.
