Comparative Adsorption Study of Functionalized Magnetite and Maghemite Nanoparticles Coated with CTAB Surfactant for Efficient Chromium Removal from Wastewater by Mohamed Naous, Ahmed Halfadji

“…In both types of functionalized nanoparticles, Cr(VI) was efficiently removed at low pH values with CTAB@MNPs, but the pH increased negatively impacted the removal process. Additionally, Fe3O4@CTAB mainly adsorbs chromium chemically, reducing Cr(VI) to Cr(III), with less impact from competitive ions compared with γ-Fe2O3@CTAB.At pH = 2, adsorbent dose = 5 g/L, and initial chromium concentration = 1 mg/L, maghemite@CTAB achieved a high chromium removal efficiency of 95%. …”
