Study on the synthesis of spinel ferrite CuxMg1-xFe2O4 (x = 0,5) and its application for removal of heavy metal in aqueous media
Abstract
In this study, CuxMg1-xFe2O4 (x = 0,5) spinel nanomaterial has been synthesized by co-precipitation method at temperature of 80oC in aqueous solution, the obtained metals hydroxides were sintered at 600 oC for 3 h. The microstructure and properties of the resultant materials were investigated through Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique and XRD pattern. The average particle size was calculated by using Debye Scherer’s formula using XRD data. The obtained spinel has an average particles size of 18 nm. The adsorption behavior toward Lead ions of the spinel nanomaterials were investigated, which exhibit that the CuxMg1-xFe2O4 (x = 0,5) has high adsorption capability toward Pb ions in aqueous solution with maximal adsorption capacity of 51,282 mg/g. With high adsorption capability, this ternary spinel nanomaterials can be a promising adsorbent to remove the toxic lead ions out of water.
