Preparation of magnetic manganese ferrite/graphene oxide nanocomposites as efficient adsorbents towards ibuprofen
Abstract This study aims to prepare in manganese ferrite/graphene oxide (MnFe 2 O 4 /GO) nanocomposites for the removal of ibuprofen drug residue from water. The synthesised nanocomposites with various MnFe 2 O 4 content from 30–60 wt.% were characterised by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infr...

Summary: | Abstract
This study aims to prepare in manganese ferrite/graphene oxide (MnFe
2
O
4
/GO) nanocomposites for the removal of ibuprofen drug residue from water. The synthesised nanocomposites with various MnFe
2
O
4
content from 30–60 wt.% were characterised by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, Brunauer - Emmett - Teller specific surface area, and energy dispersive X-ray. It was found that the suitable mass ratio of MnFe
2
O
4
in nanocomposite for ibuprofen removal was 50 wt.%. The adsorption process followed the
pseudo-second-order
kinetic and Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum capacity of MnFe
2
O
4
/GO was found to be 156.25 mg g
−1
. Accordingly, the MnFe
2
O
4
/GO could be used as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of ibuprofen from water. |
