Preparation and performance of magnetic zirconium-iron oxide nanoparticles loaded on palygorskite in the adsorption of phosphate from water

Magnetic zirconium-iron oxide nanoparticles loaded on palygorskite as a low-cost adsorbent was produced by one-step co precipitation technique and its properties for phosphate adsorption were overall investigated. The Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) specific surface area analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the adsorbent and evaluate the adsorption interactions. The influences of pH, ionic strength and coexisting i...
