Abstract
Magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) have shown increasing application in the fields of water pollution control and detection due to their perfect combination of interfacial functionalities and physicochemical properties, such as surface interface adsorption, (synergistic) reduction, catalytic oxidation, and electrical chemistry. This review presents the research advances in the synthesis and modification methods of MNPs in recent years, systematically summarizes the performances of MNPs and their modified materials in terms of three technical systems, including single decontamination system, coupled reaction system, and electrochemical system. In addition, the progress of the key roles played by MNPs in adsorption, reduction, catalytic oxidative degradation and their coupling with zero-valent iron for the reduction of pollutants are described. Moreover, the application prospect of MNPs-based electrochemical working electrodes for detecting micro-pollutants in water were also discussed in detail. This review addresses that the construction of MNPs-based systems for water pollution control and detection should be adapted to the natures of the target pollutants in water. Finally, the following research directions of MNPs and their remaining challenges are outlooked. In general, this review will inspire MNPs researchers in different fields for effective control and detection of a variety of contaminants in water.

Abstract
Natural or industrial hexavalent chromium water pollution continues to be a worldwide unresolved threat. Today, there is intense research on new active and cost-effective sorbents for Cr(VI), but most still exhibit a critical limitation: their powdered nature makes their recovery from water cost and energy consuming. In this work, Al(OH)3, MIL-88-B(Fe), and UiO-66-NH2 Cr(VI) sorbents were immobilized into a poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) polymeric substrate to develop an easily reactivable and reusable water filtering technology. The immobilization of the sorbents into the PVDF-HFP porous matrix modified the macro and meso-porous structure of the polymeric matrix, tuning in parallel its wettability. Although a partial blocking of the Cr(VI) adsorptive capacity was observed for of Al(OH)3 and MIL-88-B(Fe) when immobilized into composite membranes, PVDF-HFP/UiO-66-NH2 filter (i) exceeded the full capacity of the non-immobilized sorbent to trap Cr(VI), (ii) could be reactivated and reusable, and (iii) it was fully functional when applied in real water effluents.

Abstract
A novel synthesis method under green philosophy for the preparation of some magnetite-based catalysts (MBCs) is presented. The synthesis was carried out in aqueous media (i.e., absence of organic solvents) at room temperature with recovery of excess reactants. Terephthalic acid (H2BDC) was used to drive the synthesis route towards magnetite. Accordingly, bare magnetite (Fe3O4) and some hybrid magnetite-carbon composites were prepared (Fe3O4-G, Fe3O4-GO, and Fe3O4-AC). Graphene (G), graphene oxide (GO), and activated carbon (AC) were used as starting carbon materials. The recovered H2BDC and the as-synthetized MBCs were fully characterized by XRD, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, SQUID magnetometry, TGA-DTA-MS, elemental analysis, and N2-adsorption-desorption isotherms. The recovered H2BDC was of purity high enough to be reused in the synthesis of MBCs. All the catalysts obtained presented the typical crystalline phase of magnetite nanoparticles, moderate surface area (63–337 m2 g−1), and magnetic properties that allowed their easy separation from aqueous media by an external magnet (magnetization saturation = 25–80 emu g−1). The MBCs were tested in catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of an aqueous solution of metoprolol tartrate (MTP) under simulated solar radiation. The Fe3O4-AC materials showed the best catalytic performance among the prepared MBCs, with MTP and total organic carbon (TOC) removals higher than 90% and 20%, respectively, after 3 h of treatment. This catalyst was fairly successfully reused in nine consecutive runs, though minor loss of activity was observed, likely due to the accumulation of organic compounds on the porous structure of the activated carbon and/or partial oxidation of surface Fe2+ sites.

Abstract
AbstractThe rapid urbanization and industrialization is causing worldwide water pollution, calling for advanced cleaning methods. For instance, pollutant adsorption on magnetic oxides is efficient and very practical due to the easy separation from solutions by an magnetic field. Here we review the synthesis and performance of magnetic oxides such as iron oxides, spinel ferrites, and perovskite oxides for water remediation. We present structural, optical, and magnetic properties. Magnetic oxides are also promising photocatalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants. Antimicrobial activities and adsorption of heavy metals and radionucleides are also discussed.

Preferential and enhanced adsorption of methyl green on different greenly synthesized magnetite nanoparticles: investigation of the influence of the mediating plant extract’s acidity. RSC Adv 2022; 12:14593-14609. [PMID: 35702240 PMCID: PMC9100377 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra01085b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Four magnetite nanoparticle (NP) samples have been greenly synthesized using four aqueous plant extracts, which are Artemisia herba-alba (L), Rosmarinus officinalis (L), Matricaria pubescens (L), and Juniperus phoenicia (L). The pH of these extracts are acidic (5.25, 5.05, 4.63, and 3.69, respectively). The synthesized samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, ATR-FTIR, and UV-Vis. This work aimed to study the preferential and enhanced adsorption of methyl green (MG) on the four greenly synthesized Fe3O4 surfaces by coupling three processes: MG adsorption in ambient dark conditions as the first process, followed by the thermocatalysis of the MG/Fe3O4 residual solution in the second process, and finally photocatalysis by the UV irradiation of MG/Fe3O4 residual solution after carrying out thermocatalysis. The novelty of this study lies in highlighting the influence of the mediating plant extract’s acidity on the magnetite NPs’ physicochemical characteristics, which impact the preferential and enhanced MG adsorption. The studied physicochemical characteristics are the functional hydroxyl group density on the magnetite surface, grain size, and band gap energy. It was found that the plant extract’s acidity has a clear effect on the studied physicochemical properties. The analysis of the FTIR spectra showed that the hydroxyl group densities differ on the four magnetite samples. Furthermore, the calculated grain sizes of the magnetite samples based on XRD spectra data vary from 29.27 to 41.49 nm. The analysis of the UV-Vis spectra of the four magnetite samples showed that the estimated direct band gap energies vary from 2.87 to 2.97 eV. The obtained results showed that the decrease of the mediating plant extract’s acidity leads to an increase in the hydroxyl group density on magnetite surfaces, which resulted in an increase in the MG adsorption capacities and yields in the first process of adsorption. Thus, MG adsorption was more preferred on greenly synthesized magnetite surfaces mediated by plant extracts with low acidity (Artemisia herba-alba (L) and Rosmarinus officinalis (L)). Furthermore, the increase of the plant extract’s acidity leads to a decrease in the particle size and an increase in the band gap energy and, therefore, to the decrease of the electron/hole pair recombination speed upon electron excitation. So, magnetite greenly synthesized from a more acidic mediating plant extract showed higher thermo- and photocatalytic activities for MG adsorption (Juniperus phoenicia (L) and Matricaria pubescens (L)). However, under photocatalysis, the enhancement is even more significant compared to thermocatalysis. Magnetite NP samples synthesized from less acidic plant extracts have more dense active sites and prefer adsorbing more MG. The increase of plant extract acidity leads to the increase of the thermo- and photocatalytic activities of Fe3O4 NPs.![]()

Abstract
Rhodamine B (RhB) is used in various industries and its effluent must be effectively treated because of its harmful and carcinogenic nature. In this work, ionothermally synthesized Cu-doped Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (Cu-Fe3O4 MNPs) were found to be a highly efficient heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst for complete decolorization of the RhB solution with H2O2 at pH ~ 7 and 25 °C. The effects of the catalyst loading, initial concentrations of RhB and H2O2, co-existing natural organic matter and inorganic salts, reaction temperature, and radical scavengers on the catalytic performance of Cu-Fe3O4 were investigated. Monte-Carlo simulations revealed that copper dopants facilitated the activation of H2O2 via adopting a terminal end-on adsorption mode and increased collision frequency by bringing the RhB molecules closer to H2O2 and the magnetite surface. These theoretical calculations provide new insight into the promotional effect of copper dopants in magnetite at molecular level.

Abstract
Many different processes for manufacturing of magnetic particles are present in scientific literature. However, the large majority are not able to be applied to large-scale real operations. In this study, we present an experiment undertaken to determine advisable values and options for the main variables and factors for the application of the reverse co-precipitation method to produce magnetic particles for real environmental applications. In such, we have tried a conjugation of values/factors that has led to 12 main experiments and production of 12 different particles. After an initial study concerning their main characteristics, these 12 different particles were applied for the sorption removal of COD from real wastewater samples (efficiencies between 70% and 81%) and degradation of Methylene blue by Fenton reaction (degradation efficiencies up to 100%). The main conclusion from this work is that the best set of values depends on the target environmental application, and this set of values were determined for the two applications studied.
