A Magnetic Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite: Synthesis, Characterization, and Application for High-Efficiency Detoxification of Aflatoxin B₁.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: Safety problems associated with aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) contamination have always been a major threat to human health. Removing AFB₁ through adsorption is considered an attractive remediation technique. (2) Methods: To produce an adsorbent with a high AFB₁ adsorption efficiency, a magnetic reduced graphene oxide composite (Fe₃O₄@rGO) was synthesized using one-step hydrothermal fabrication. Then, the adsorbent was characterized using a series of techniques, such as SEM, TEM, XRD, FT-IR, VSM, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis. Finally, the effects of this nanocomposite on the nutritional components of treated foods, such as vegetable oil and peanut milk, were also examined. (3) Results: The optimal synthe
