A Study on Synthesis, Characterization and Role of Magnetite Nanoparticles in Lead Adsorption | Chapter 1 | Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 9

People's quality of life has increased as a result of industrialization, but it has also resulted in an increase in pollution in the form of industrial waste. Toxic compounds are produced by industrial effluents, which accumulate in the soil and can persist for years if not properly managed. Heavy metal is a genre of music that is mostly thrown into These persistent, non-degradable materials include soil from electronic industries in the form of E-waste. chemicals. Electronics is one of the fastest-growing businesses, with a large amount of money being invested. generated garbage Heavy metals such as Lead are used in the majority of electronic products (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Zinc (Zn), and other heavy metals, with Lead being the most common. technological equipment, as well as being extremely toxic. If the metal isn't properly processed, it will leak into the soil, contaminating it and endangering the planet's flora and fauna. To avoid this, current research is focusing on using Magnetite nanoparticles to remove Lead from polluted electronic waste soils. The significant affinity for cations of magnetite nanoparticles provides for improved Lead adsorption by the nanoparticles. The current study examines the use of magnetite nanoparticles in adsorption to reduce lead toxicity. The nanoparticles have a metal removal rate of up to 2500 ppm. X-ray diffraction revealed the magnetite nanoparticle to be 4.3nm in size.
