Engineering surface hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity of magnetic nanosorbents for efficient multipollutant water remediation.

ABSTRACT: A series of magnetic sorbent materials were prepared via functionalization of magnetic nanoparticles using trimethoxymethylsilane (TMMS) and/or N-[3 (trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine (TMSPEDA) at varying molar ratios to precisely control surface hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity. The physic-chemical properties of the prepared materials were thoroughly elucidated by various techniques including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM), EDX and elemental mapping, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), N₂ adsorption/desorption analysis, and contact angle measurement, confirming successful modificatio
