Iron oxide nano-adsorbent doped with nickel and palladium for phosphorus removal from water.

ABSTRACT: Excessive phosphorus (P) in surface and ground water can cause serious environmental issues. This study aims to synthesize and characterize novel iron oxides (Fe _x O _y ) nanoparticles (NPs) with and without Ni and Ni-Pd doping and unravel the NPs' performance and mechanism for P removal from water. X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results confirmed successful doping of Ni and Ni-Pd on Fe _x O _y NPs. Fe _x O _y -Ni NPs exhibited a higher specific surface area and isoelectric point than Fe _x O _y and Fe _x O _y -Ni-Pd NPs. The kinetic data for P adsorption on Fe
