Abstract:In the present work, silica nanoparticles functionalized with folic acid (Nano-SiO2-FA) were synthesized and characterized thru elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area determination, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Nano-SiO2-FA was examined as a sustainable and promising sorbent for preconcentration of Al(III) from natural water samples by sorptive-flotation (SF) separation technique before its determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (F… Show more
