Synthesis and Characterization of Magnetic Superadsorbent Fe3O4-PEG-Mg-Al-LDH Nanocomposites for Ultrahigh Removal of Organic Dyes.

ABSTRACT: Considering the huge demands for economical and reliable eco-remediation applications, the goal of the present work is to synthesize cost-effective and functionally efficient magnetic layered nanocomposite adsorbents for the effective adsorption of dyes followed by easy separation from wastewater. This would ensure good reusability of adsorbents without altering its adsorption capacity in a relatively short time manner. To achieve this, different molecular weights of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified Fe3O4 combined with Mg-Al-layered double hydroxides (MAN-LDH) were synthesized and characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, energy-disper
