Synthesis of magnetic borosilicate zeolite/graphene quantum dots nanocomposites for removal of nitrate and organic pollutants from water.

ABSTRACT: Natural and synthetic zeolites have been considered as capable candidates for removal of pollutants from water and wastewater due to their high surface area and porous structure. In this work, borosilicate zeolite (BZ) with ZSM-5 structure, graphene quantum dots (GQDs)/BZ and Fe₃O₄/BZ as two component, and Fe₃O₄-GQDs/BZ as three component nanocomposites were prepared using hydrothermal, solid state dispersion, and ultrasound-assisted co-precipitation methods. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDX), N₂ adsorption-desorption, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM)
