The development of hexaferrite nanoparticles is scrutinized as potential sorbents for the removal of chromium (Cr) ions from aqueous chromium-containing solutions in a batch adsorption experiment. The transition metal Co doped BaFe12O19 hexaferrite compounds (BHF) have been synthesized successfully via citrate auto combustion technique. The structure, surface morphology and magnetic properties of the samples were studied. X-ray diffraction pattern ratifies the existence of hexagonal phase as a main phase for the prepared samples. The average crystallite sizes are found in the range of 47–49 nm. The high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), as well as the Fourier, transform infrared spectrophotometry results confirm an M-type hexagonal structure existing. The χ-T indicates the temperature-dependent ferromagnetic behavior of BHF nanoparticles. The derivative shows a single transition temperature Tc at 698 °C, and 710 °C for BHF and BCHF respectively. The prepared samples are utilized as an adsorbent for the removal of Cr (VI) from the aqueous solution. The maximum adsorption capacity (qm) of Cr (VI) on the nano hexaferrite is higher than that of various other adsorbents testified in the literature. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model gives a better fit to the experimental data.
The present work aims to synthesize and designate 50% BaFe11.5Co0.5O19 /50% NBR nanocomposite with enhanced physical properties. First, the BaFe11.5Co0.5O19 hexaferrite was successfully synthesized by the citrate auto-combustion technique. Composite nanoparticles were synthesized by melt mixing technique in a Brabender Plasticorder. The structure and morphology of the samples were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The average crystallite size is nearly 35 nm. The high values of Ms for BFCO can be clarified by Fe3+–O–Fe3+ super-exchange interaction in the present system. An investigation has found that substitution in M-type hexaferrite systems alters the valence states of Fe3+ ions to Fe3+ ions at the 2A sites (Ateia et al. in Appl Phys A 128: 884, 2022). This causes an enhancement of super-exchange interactions that improves the hyperfine field at 2b and 12 k sites. The switching field distribution was computed and reported. Tensile strength (T.S), Young’s modulus (E), hardness (H) and Rheometric characteristics were enhanced after the addition of BFCO nanoparticles to NBR polymer. The obtained data from the present study revealed that the incorporation of 50% of BaFe11.5Co0.5O19 hexaferrite with 50% of NBR rubber enhanced the physico-mechanical and magnetic characteristics of the prepared composites. This indicates that hexaferrites achieve not only appropriate magnetic properties for the prepared composites, but also strengthen the rubber matrix. The originality of this investigation is clarified by emphasizing the magnetization of NBR and to accentuate the good mechanical properties of the investigated nanocomposites.
