A superfast hexavalent chromium scavenger: Magnetic nanocarbon bridged nanomagnetite network with excellent recyclability

Monitoring and Management of Anions in Polluted Aqua Systems: Case Studies on Nitrate, Chromate, Pertechnetate and Diclofenac

“…Xu et al [160] have prepared magnetic carbon/magnetite nanocomposites with high surface areas, Figure 6. The synthesis of the materials was achieved by electrospinning of polystyrene in a fibrous mesh followed by calcination in the presence of ferric nitrate producing robust magnetic carbon composites.…”

Recent advances in hexavalent chromium removal from aqueous solutions by adsorptive methods

“…Removal of Cr( vi ) from aqueous solutions based on adsorption methods is currently the area of intense research. Recent work include removal of Cr( vi ) from water samples using m -phenylenediamine-modified polypyrrole, 180 sweet lime peel powder, 111 chitosan-based hydrogel, 181 nanocarbon bridged nano magnetite network, 182 magnetic biochar composite, 183 carbon spheres (magnetic ceramsite coated by functionalized nano carbon spheres 184 and hollow carbon spheres 185 ), modified sponge iron particles 186 and metal–organic framework. 187 Recent work has provided evidence that the modified and functionalized adsorbents perform better than their natural forms.…”

Nanocomposites Research in Tongji University: Introduction of Prof. Hongbo Gu

“…(3) And finally, environmental remediation using carbon- [18][19][20] protected magnetic nanocomposites. Normally, the presence of transition metals such as Fe, Co, and Ni nanoparticles with various magnetic properties can help recycle adsorbents after the treatment of polluted water.…”
