Abstract
This study investigates the reuse of industrial residue to synthesize magnetic nickel nanoparticles functionalized with sodium dodecyl sulfate (Ni-NPs/SDS). Two synthesis routes were tested: Route 1 involved in situ functionalization during nickel recovery (RHS sample), while Route 2 included separate oxidation and functionalization steps after nanoparticle synthesis (RHoxS sample). The Ni particles showed spherical morphology and crystallite sizes of 8 – 11 nm. Functionalized particles had slightly larger sizes (10 – 15 nm) and irregular, spiky surfaces, more evident in RHoxS. The ferromagnetic character was reduced in functionalized samples, and all exhibited negative zeta potential values below 30 mV.
A preliminary methylene blue (MB) adsorption study with RHoxS showed effective functionalization. Batch tests at room temperature fit better to the Freundlich isotherm model (R2 = 0.9633), suggesting a heterogeneous surface and a physical adsorption process. The Langmuir isotherm model estimates a maximum capacity of adsorption of 5.51 mg.g-1, indicating the material’s potential for wastewater dye removal.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
