Title: Magnetic adsorbents for selective removal of selenite from contaminated water

Journal Article · · Separation Science and Technology

Novel meso- and microporous tire-derived carbon framework as a support for magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle adsorbents (MNA) that selectively adsorb selenite (Se(IV)) ions from contaminated water has been developed. Carbon-supported magnetic nanoparticle adsorbents (C-MNA) displayed higher adsorption values compared to MNA from 5 to 50 ppm selenite concentrations, maximizing at 48 ± 5 mg/g capacity with >99% Se removal at pH 3 and 5, and outperforms MNA at pH 7. Here these improvements will expand the range of water sources that can be treated, as well as easing adsorbent collection through magnetic separation.
