Removal of some heavy metals and fungicides from aqueous solutions using nano-hydroxyapatite, nano-bentonite and nanocomposite
A batch adsorption experiments were carried out to study the role of nanoparticles and nanocomposite on removal of some heavy metals and fungicides from aqueous solution. Nano-Hydroxyapatite (n-HAP), Nano-Bentonite (n-Bo) and Bentonite-hydroxyapatite nanocomposite (B-HAP NC) evaluated for the remova...

Nano-Hydroxyapatite (n-HAP), Nano-Bentonite (n-Bo) and Bentonite-hydroxyapatite nanocomposite (B-HAP NC) evaluated for the removal of some heavy metals and fungicides. The nanoparticles and nanocomposite were characterized by TEM, SEM and AFM, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and BET surface area. The batch adsorption was done using nanoparticles with Pb2+ and Ni2+ as example of heavy metals with concentrations up to 25 mgL−1.
